After Yiyi finished outlining the next steps, the carriage stopped.

Before Yi Yi could even get up, the carriage door was opened from the outside, and the officer sitting in front of her quickly forced Yi Yi off the carriage.

"Tsk, be gentle! It's not like I'm not cooperating!"

Yi Yi's disgruntled grumbling made the people escorting her instinctively want to lash out at her.

As Yi Yi moved her fingers, the person who was being escorted suddenly felt a numbness in his arms and released Yi Yi.

Yi Yi rubbed her wrist, which had just been gripped so hard, and snorted, saying, "That's more like it. Let me teach you what gentlemanly manners are."

After saying that, she gestured with her chin to the soldiers lined up beside her, indicating that they should take her to her destination.

It was still that meticulously maintained, elegant villa. The chrysanthemums that had previously competed for beauty had withered, with only a few scattered blossoms hanging drooping on the branches. In late autumn, before the special winter flowers bloomed, the villa garden had entered its awkward period of being unattractive.

Walking on the bluestone path, the soil, exhausted by the flowers, crumbles into fine sand, which is then blown into the eyes by the mountain wind.

Upon entering the simple yet elegant building, in the familiar reception room, the person sitting in the main seat was different.

On a deep red velvet armchair, a middle-aged man was sitting.

The first impression of Yi Yi was immediately apparent: a meticulously groomed beard and a neatly combed, shiny slicked-back hairstyle.

He was the king of the empire, and Aldrich's father.

Just like in the original story, the death of Aldrich, his most beloved child, prompted him to personally lead the most skilled trial team to capture the real culprit.

Yi Yi looked up and met his gaze without the slightest fear.

Unfortunately, in order to achieve a happy ending, I can't let you capture Adolf like you do in the game.

I will do everything in my power to stop it.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldiers beside her made a deafening sound that went straight into Yi Yi's ears.

Yi frowned, not really wanting to follow his instructions, but unexpectedly, she was suddenly kicked in the back of her knee.

The force was too great and the speed too fast; Yi Yi had no time to react and was about to kneel on the ground.

Just a second before her knees hit the ground, Yi Yi was lifted up by a pair of strong arms.

"Your Majesty, I swear in the name of God that Miss Yi Yi did not do this, so please do not treat Miss Yi Yi with the attitude of a sinner."

Seeing the emperor's beard twitch, he quickly changed his attitude.

Unlike the stern look he had when Yi Yi entered, he immediately became gentle and kind, smiling as he said to Chris, "Your Highness is too kind. I was just momentarily careless and my subordinates failed to provide adequate hospitality."

He then instantly turned hostile, coldly shouting at the officer who had just kicked Yi Yi, "I already said I asked them to come and assist in the case, not to arrest a criminal. Is this how you ask for help? Go and receive your punishment!"

His genuine anger made it clear that he had indeed vented some kind of rage.

Perhaps it was the anger over the death of his proud son, or the anger over the officers' incompetence, or perhaps it was the anger at the divine authority represented by Chris that he dared not speak out against, but at this moment he vented his anger on the "incompetence of his subordinates".

Who knows?

Yi Yi thought silently, and after regaining her balance with Chris's help, she heard the king say again, "Why don't you quickly invite the guests to take their seats?"

His calm and authoritative voice made it seem as if the anger from just moments ago had never existed.

No wonder he trained Aldridge.

Yi Yi sighed inwardly and took the opportunity to look around the surroundings after sitting down.

Then I saw that Uma was following behind Chris.

A short while later, another person was brought in; it was Gail, who had also been in contact with Aldridge.

After Gale took his seat, the emperor, who was in the main seat, said, "All the relevant personnel are here. I believe you all know the purpose of our gathering today, so let's get straight to the point!"

The deep-thinking emperor rubbed his temples, his heartbroken expression suggesting he was truly grieving the loss of his beloved son.

Indeed, this was the case; he was the emperor's most devoted and talented son.

Aldrich was arguably the pride of the empire, and the emperor, no longer in his prime, saw him as the hope for the empire's rise.

The hope of the monarchy to defy divine authority was shattered. No one knew how many more years it would take for the empire to produce another Aldrich. The king was naturally saddened and heartbroken, but he was even more furious than saddened.

The displeasure of the person in charge transformed into a sense of oppression, which was directed at the others present.

But apart from Uma, none of the people present were greatly affected.

After all, apart from Uma, the others were not ordinary people under the rule of the monarchy, and were basically indifferent to the pressure from the monarchy.

For example, Yi Yi even felt that this emperor was being too pretentious and annoying.

Actually, Yi Yi didn't initially have any issues with this ambitious emperor in the game, but his actions of "picking on the weak" made her uncomfortable in various ways.

In particular, the "easy target" he chose was himself.

So, amidst the indifferent or even dismissive expressions of the crowd, the emperor quickly found a new target to suppress—

Uma was fidgeting.

He then turned his gaze entirely to Uma, his imposing aura pressing down on her without restraint: "I have invited you all here today only to find out the truth. Otherwise, as your father, I will be unable to eat or sleep in peace. I hope you can cooperate."

They were talking about everyone, but it was all for Uma.

Although the content of the words was very polite, the tone was stern and left no room for argument, as if there would be some terrible fate if the answer was not given properly.

This infuriated Yi Yi, who was very protective of her child.

Although she did not intend to directly clash with the Empire, it would be perfectly acceptable to make sarcastic remarks without shifting suspicion towards Adolf.

Without further ado, Yi Yi crossed her arms and legs, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Is His Majesty of the Empire really this stingy? He called us to help, but won't even give us a sip of tea?"

"How dare you! A mere commoner like myself is already honored to meet His Majesty, yet you dare to push your luck!"

The saying "the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is" probably describes this situation perfectly.

Yi Yi bluntly regarded the ministers of the inner court around the emperor as eunuchs.

Then, unsurprisingly, he looked at the seated emperor and played the bad cop: "Alright, it was my oversight. Hurry up and serve tea and refreshments to the guests!"

No wonder he trained Aldridge, he's truly a genius, so patient.

"I'd like freshly brewed Ceylon black tea, a pot of milk, and freshly baked muffins for the tea snacks, thank you." Seeing that the emperor still maintained a gentle and indifferent demeanor, Yi Yi had no intention of stopping, but was prepared to escalate the situation.
