The presence of Hudson indeed poses a potential threat to imperial power. However, these fellows who control the court are by no ans "loyal ministers" in the eyes of the Royal Family.
"What a pity!
Missing this opportunity ans it will be even harder to control him in the future.
With that guy’s lifespan, he can outlive eighteen generations of us.
Once his descendants gradually grow up, the future of our Clans might only..."
Before Duke Richard could finish his sentence, the Minister of Finance, Duke Zuell, hurriedly interrupted, "Richard, you need to sober up!
Before anything happens, we shouldn’t say anything that might disrupt unity.
If there should be any concern, let the Royal Family worry first.
We are rely the Empire’s Nobles, dropping one rank isn’t a big deal."
In these past years, it was the Minister of Defense who was suppressed the most. Even after Hudson retired from the military, power still remained in the hands of the ritorious Faction.
The Military Departnt, which was supposed to hold great power, was forcefully turned by Hudson into a Logistic Departnt, a weakened Logistic Departnt subordinate to the army.
The six noble families governed together, while the other five gained substantial benefits. Only in the past few years did they just manage to get a taste of soup.
Over ti, Duke Richard’s grudge against Hudson beca like a raging river.
At the mont, struck hard by his companion, Duke Richard quickly sobered up, instantly falling silent.
"When we were detained, so Nobles entered the Imperial Palace. Do you think the assassination is related to them?"
Upon hearing Earl Herwin’s words, everyone quickly regained composure.
Striking against Hudson carries too much risk, but dealing with these political enemies in court is still feasible.
The future is full of uncertainties; but the current interests are obviously visible.
After all, these fellows participated in the farce of a coup that day, they deserve to be dealt with without feeling wronged.
"Herwin’s suggestion is good, those people indeed need to be dealt with, but now we should focus more on: Your Majesty’s safety!
The Royal Family only ntioned that Your Majesty suffered from a curse, but what exactly the curse is, and whether it endangers life, all need to be clarified.
If Your Majesty’s vitality is hard, unable to continue governing, or is unfortunately hard, then we must consider how to ensure the smooth operation of the court!"
After Pri Minister Beckett finished speaking, everyone instantly realized. Should the Emperor encounter an accident, it would be the perfect opportunity for them to seize full power.
The only concern is whether the Royal Family would appoint a Deputy Pri Minister.
In an instant, two nas flashed in everyone’s mind: "Duke Aefero" and "Duke Newfoundland."
These two not only hail from the Royal Family, but also achieved illustrious political accomplishnts while serving as Minister of Defense and Chancellor, their political prestige is not at all weaker than the others.
With the title of Deputy Pri Minister, it’s only natural for them to take over two positions.
"As for court matters, we old n can still manage. The sudden cursing of Your Majesty must have complicated implications.
The Imperial Palace is heavily guarded, outsiders cannot bring the curse inside; only trusted individuals close at hand could have plotted against him.
On the day of the coronation, Your Majesty was normal. Only need to track down those who recently got close to His Majesty.
People who are around every day, if there was a problem, they could have acted anyti, not needing to wait until now.
Those who have suddenly approached Your Majesty lately are the key suspects, including: Duke Aefero and Duke Newfoundland.
Previously, they had contact with Alpha the First, whose ambition to ascend was written all over his face, we have to guard against that!"
After Duke Zuell finished speaking, everyone expressed: all involved personnel must be thoroughly investigated.
Without clearing their suspicions, they definitely cannot hold crucial positions like Deputy Pri Minister.
...
Jade Palace.
Three days have passed since the removal of the curse.
Caesar IV, waking up from a deep sleep, helplessly accepted the reality of his drastically reduced lifespan.
No need for others to say more, just by looking at his face, it is clear that his days are numbered.
Such are the domineering side effects of unparalleled thods.
"Have they found the mastermind yet?"
Caesar IV asked with concern.
The pit dug this ti is too large, breaking the trust between sovereign and subjects.
Even as he lay bedridden, high-ranking officials did not co to visit, the relationship between sovereign and subjects had cooled to the extre.
Deep inside, he vehently despises the mastermind.
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of God of Desire fell in the sea area southwest of the Continent, the Kingdom’s major forces cannot extend their hands that long.
It should be soone who delivered the box sealing the curse, with an insider sneaking it into your residence.
Externally suspect forces are nurous, several major powers among Different Races and the Human Race have motives to act.
So demon leaders from the Cult, also have the capability.
Since your residence has maids regularly attending, the perpetrator must be soone who is familiar with palace rules, understands your routine, and possesses great strength.
After investigation, the greatest suspect is..."
When about to speak, the Palace Minister did not dare say the na.
The content was too explosive, the few suspects within the Empire all hold distinguished statuses.
"No need to hesitate, I know who it is!
There are only a few who can strike so quietly.
With the Imperial Palace so heavily guarded, even for Sanctuary Powerhouses wishing to infiltrate, it’s difficult not to be detected.
