The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 74
"Invitation from the kingdom of Seanthuria?" Emperor Ein parroted while receiving an invitation letter containing the royal mark.
"Yes, Sire." His assistant, Markian.
"Basic is not ashamed. After killing my cousin he still sent me the invitation letter to Cosette's daughter's maturity party?" Sneaky hissing.
"But Miss Leona is still alive, right? So it's not a big deal. You just stay present and go home." The assistant without sin.
"Heh. Despite that. Looks like calling Khalix and the Devil team is more suitable. The five of them had a grudge against the king's family."
"Okay, Sire." Markian immediately left the emperor's room.
The red-haired man could only sigh tiredly. The Kingdom of Seanthuria had recently been in turmoil. According to reports from spies stationed in the kingdom, many rebellions took place there. Even the king of Seanthuria wanted to take a small village located in his territory in a subtle way, namely through an arranged marriage with Cosette's daughter.
Emperor Ein growled. The king had destroyed his clan, then humiliated his cousin during the crown prince's engagement, not to mention that the king wanted a portion of his estate through an arranged marriage.
A very expensive dowry for the size of the notoriously arrogant royal princess. If he refuses, the war cannot be stopped.
"Aah! Making a mess in the kingdom would be nice." He said with a slanted smile and he immediately went towards somewhere.
💠💠💠💠
"You want to poison the royal family? Don't crazy! What if a lot of innocent nobles get killed?!" Khalix cried when he heard Leona's words.
The tense atmosphere was felt in the gazebo of the Kamitsuki imperial palace which was filled with various colorful plants and beautiful flowers. Khalix, Leona, Iven, Wei Tao and Eura were busy discussing something seriously.
"Ck. Listen to me until the end, you fool!" Annoyed Leona is annoyed. It was very desirable for him to throw the handsome man of the former prince into the monster's nest. But it is too dear that it requires Khalix to carry out their plans.
"Then what's your plan?" Wei Tao asked curiously. Same with the other three men.
"We put this poison in the queen's food, then made the king lose his supporters one by one without needing to stain our hands with blood." Leona said with a slanted smile.
"Good idea." Said Emperor Ein who instantly made the five demons snort in shock. With a broken movement they turned towards the emperor who had been standing not far from there.
With their feet stood up and greeted Emperor Ein who was now walking closer to them. In their hearts they dig dug serr for thinking the emperor heard their plan.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
"Okay, bad." Their inner selves together, with cold sweat flooding their bodies.
"Sit down." Emperor Ein said and sat in the gazebo with them. The man with the piercing heard all the plans that were thrown by Leona et al and made him curious. Perfect plan without the need to make bloodshed.
"I heard your talk. Sorry, not meant to eavesdrop. But I agreed to your plan to destroy that kingdom." Emperor Ein was serious.
The five looked at Emperor Ein in confusion.
"Klan Tigries has been destroyed because of personal problems, the demon nation has also been destroyed, and he made many other problems that are not known to the public." Emperor Ein revealed some facts that astonished them.
"So that stupid Grambiel destroyed a clan? What a coward." Cibir Khalix in a dismissive tone.
"Anyway, he's your father. Don't be such an ungodly child by saying his name." Tegur Wei Tao's.
"I am a bad boy. You don't know how her face panicked with fear when I sent the hit man to her palace? Really fun entertainment." Khalix said as he chuckled.
Khalix used to be a hitman for the hire of king Grambiel and queen Lydia. Even the king of Grambiel blatantly gave poison-containing food to the little Khalix, so that the man's body was used to the poison. King Grambiel was worried that he would take the crown prince's position from Casian and himself.
"I'm not afraid of being called an ungodly child. I don't care anyway." Iven and a nod from Leona.
Iven and Leona who never get the attention of the father, prefer not to care and do not want to know. After all they had no memories of their father other than harsh words and mockery.
Wei Tao understood that the three of them had a bad experience about the person called father. The man could only apologize for accidentally opening their old wounds.
The mood suddenly felt awkward. The sensitive eura instantly changed the atmosphere to liquid.
"What if we observe their movements first? Who knows we could use the gap to attack them." Eura gave advice that was directly approved by the people who were there.
💠💠💠💠
"I need strength to control those dukes. I feel like they've been hard to set up lately." Said the king of Grambiel as he stroked the necklace with four gems glittering around his neck.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The head of the magic tower will soon come giving power to your necklace." Said one of the confidants of the king of Grambiel, Count Shao Cyrus.
"really. I need a lot of power to control them. Coupled with the light magic user, then I will gain a great power that can even overthrow the empire, hahaha!"
'Tok' 'Tok'
"Sorry, Your Honor. There's a guest from the kingdom of Orgny coming to visit." Report one of the palace soldiers from behind the door.
"Please let him in!" He shouted while smiling cunningly.
Before long, the door opened and came four men who had a strange appearance, some resembling crocodiles, who had a strange appearance, half-snake man and wolf-headed man and man who has pointed ears with a green body with luxurious clothes in the style of high nobility. He seems to be the leader of the group.
"I'm retreating, Your Majesty." Pamit Shao Cyrus and go out immediately. He also bowed respectfully to the guest of king Grambiel before disappearing behind the door.
They are Orch people who established cooperation with the kingdom of Seanthuria recently.
"Welcome to the kingdom of Seanthuria, crown prince of the kingdom of Orgny." Greet King Grambiel with a slanted smile.
"Thank you for the welcome, Your Majesty." Reply to the man with a hoarse voice like hampered sputum.
They spoke stale for a moment before discussing their main topic.
"What about our cooperation letter?" Asked the king of Grambiel with a friendly smile.
"I accept it if it is profitable. But if you break, then I will not hesitate to destroy you and your kingdom." Said the crown prince Orgny in a threatening tone.
The Orchs are notorious for bad temperament. They do not hesitate to kill and destroy a kingdom if the proposed deal is violated or does not give it the benefits that have been promised.
"good. Because after this war's over, then you get the benefits we've agreed to." Said the king of Grambiel with a grin.
King Grambiel cooperates with the Orchs to conquer the Kamitsuki Empire. Remembering the emperor who was none other than the emperor Ein, never returned a letter about matchmaking or a cover letter addressed to him.
If a war occurs, it is already in make sure his military power is lost, considering that some noble families reduce the number of his soldiers, including soldiers belonging to the four dukes controlled by him, considering that his, some even went to exterminate monsters.
Moreover, the rumor said that if the Ein emperor had a hundred extremely powerful warriors, not to mention that the soldiers in the Empire were very numerous, both from the side of nobles and commoners. Because in the Empire it held conscription for its people.
Not to mention the rumour about a small village that formed four years ago. A powerful village that threatened him. The village was an outcast village in the Calisius region. Then four poor villages joined the village three years ago and became prosperous villages.
The village is located near the border of the central region, which is located outside the Castallio region. Location close to the hazardous zone. It is not known exactly the location of the village because the terrain is very difficult and the location is quite remote.
According to the news, the leader of the village had a good relationship with the Kamitsuki emperor. A wealthy village that rivaled the wealth of the Seanthurian kingdom, surpassing even the empire.
Greed starts to dominate it. He wanted to control the small village. King Grambiel did not want the village to become a kingdom. Then he must act faster.
"I heard of a strong village near the middle forest. What if we do an invasion of that new village?” Said the king of Grambiel suddenly which made his four guests throw one another questioning gazes.
They also heard news of the existence of the village. The village never harassed other villages or attacked the central region. The four of them looked at the king of Grambiel curiously.
"Why is that village, Your Majesty?" Ask one of the curious guests.
"Because we can get a lot of war slaves from there." Said the king of Grambiel with a slanted smile.
