Reclaiming the Way of the Empire

At the same time, in the palace of the Wofschau galaxy,

The Speaker of the House of Lords, a veteran of the three dynasties, and Marquis Howard, who controls one-third of the military power in the country, is receiving a person he never thought would appear in front of him——Rachel, the Duke of Robben was stolen from him since he was a child, Then the daughter who was recently found again.

Accompanied by her being found, the verdict of the mysterious Linglong Acacia "Pearl of the Empire" was passed down by the commoners of the Empire.

Especially, after being made a Countess.The tragic experience of Miss Rachel, who has excellent personal temperament and image, was quickly sympathized by the common people, especially her contribution in the showbiz, and her beautiful voice, was quickly accepted by the public.

In a recent poll, the support rate of Countess Rachel, known as the "Pearl of the Empire", surpassed that of the second heir in front of her, her father, Duke Robben, and the third in line. The heir, her brother William Marquess.

Marquis Howard agreed to meet her now because of this.

Countess Rachel stood in front of Marquis Howard, and said to the old Marquis very calmly: "I have come to ask you, I hope you can form an alliance with me. Give up that young princess, and that elusive queen. "

This was said very bluntly, and it was extremely inconsistent with Rachel's well-behaved character in front of others.However, Mr. Howard could hear a kind of bloodline from this sentence—the kind of desire and unwillingness to admit defeat that came from the blood of the royal family of the Xingwang Dynasty.

Originally, old Mr. Howard was still wondering whether a child's upbringing environment would have an impact on her, so that the Marquess Rachel didn't care so much about the throne.

Mr. Howard smiled slightly, and made a gesture of "please" to Rachel, indicating that Rachel followed him to the salon next to him.

"Ha, this is really a great topic." The old man poured a cup of black tea for Rachel and raised his glass to her. "This is our etiquette, miss, I think there is nothing better than sipping imperial black tea and two sips of pastries." It's more pleasant."

Rachel also smiled, nodded and took a sip of the black tea in the cup, then smiled playfully at the old man: "I think you don't mind if I add another cube of sugar?"

Howard showed approval in his eyes, made a "please" gesture, and rang the bell on the table. A man dressed as a butler walked in and asked Howard respectfully what he needed.Howard ordered earnestly: "Mr. Butler, look, I have an elegant lady here, I need some delicious refreshments, by the way, I think you need to help me change the time of those meetings Change it."

"Your Grace." The butler bowed and went out respectfully.

Howard looked at Rachel who was gently stirring the sugar cube with a small spoon. Although the teaspoon was made of iron and the teacup was made of porcelain, Rachel didn't make a sound until the sugar cube melted.

For this, Howard appreciated it very much, and couldn't help sighing: "I have six children under my knees. They have learned court etiquette from the best etiquette officer in the empire since they were young. I don't think any of them can drink black tea so elegantly." of."

Rachel smiled: "It's their honor to have such an excellent father like you. Maybe it's too formal in front of you. I heard it when I came back. Your children are all excellent, so don't be too polite. It's their fault."

Howard shook his head: "Etiquette is not a trivial matter."

Rachel smiled without saying a word, just drinking tea with a smile on her face.

"Okay, my lady, I want to hear your plan. You just need to know that as long as Princess Anne survives, neither you nor your father will have a chance to inherit the throne." Howard cleared his throat before turning to the throne. Entering the topic of their chat, although the old man is in a relaxed state, his eyes are full of light.

But Rachel was neither afraid nor in a hurry, and slowly put down the teacup, carefully wiped her mouth with a corner of the napkin, and said, "Have you ever heard of the 'Huaxia'?"

Howard's eyes flashed, but the expression on his face did not change, he only motioned for Rachel to continue. Rachel talked about the Huaxia people from the pioneering era to the recent times, and explained the history of the Chinese people's split into Zhuxia and Zhuhua. Finally, when the Jingping Concentration Camp was mentioned, Mr. Howard moved slightly.

"Back then, I think everyone believed that the Zhuxia clan had been destroyed. In Jingping Concentration Camp, poison gas was experimented, vivisection was done, and nothing was done. In order to destroy this race, I think the tragedy of that year is still not allowed to everyone. The reason mentioned," Rachel paused, "there were similar behaviors in the era of the distant mother star, but the nation that was destroyed later did not die out, and even developed better."

"You want to say, there are still survivors from the Zhuxia clan?"

"The Wofushuo galaxy is so big, of course those who know the tragedy of the Jingping Concentration Camp will have compassion, so there are still survivors from the Zhuxia tribe. And, I'm sure there is a survivor who is by our side." Rachel said magically, These words made Howard jump up——

"Who?! Where?!"

"..." Rachel smiled and looked at Howard.

Howard knew he was losing his composure, so he could only cough lightly, sat down slowly, and motioned for Rachel to continue.

"This is the reason why I came to you. The Zhuxia clan died in a miserable state. The members of the royal family Xiaoshou and Ling Chi died in a miserable state, but one person survived. After many years of humiliation, he quietly came to the capital of the empire, and even approached the capital of the empire." A person, a person who may hold the power of the empire in the future. This person has black hair and black eyes, and is handsome and good-looking. Although he looks weak, he has the ability to defeat many knights of the empire at that time with a Western sword. In the end—— A prince fancy."

"It really is him..."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Back then, Crown Prince Edward gave up the concubine the royal family had found for him, and wanted to marry such a man instead, causing trouble in the entire empire. If it wasn't because he first proposed that he would compete swords with ten knights of the empire and win the royal family. How could we let him enter the royal gate with such harsh conditions to hinder their love."

"It seems that the sword competition is won."

"Of course I won," Howard sighed. Thinking of the game that year, the old man still sighed infinitely, "The royal knights are all good players with one against ten, and they receive the best training and teaching in the whole empire. In order to make the crown prince change his mind, the ten Personally, he was the elite among the elites who stayed behind in the way of 'fighting beasts'. However, he refused the request to spend ten days in the competition, and planned to fight ten knights with one person. At that time, the crown prince thought he was crazy , Don't die..."

In fact,

Everyone in the empire was watching this black-haired boy who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth with cold eyes, and even the knights of the entire knight order threatened to tear him to pieces.The leader of the Knights was the first to fight against him, but he blinded him in just one round and lost the battle.

After nine people, this black-haired boy became more and more vicious, and his attacks became more and more serious. In the end, all ten noble knights were seriously injured.

Under the surprise and fear of the imperial nobles, the blood-stained black-haired boy showed the brightest smile at Crown Prince Edward.

"I will never forget what he looked like after he won that day," Howard said slowly with a long sigh of relief, "behind him are the howling, strongest knights in the empire, and us old men who didn't guess the result at all , covered in blood, with a bloody sword in his hand, he walked towards the place where Prince Edward was step by step. He smiled so beautifully, so proudly, with such bloodthirsty and excited eyes, I I will never forget it until now.”

When the old man recalled it, he couldn't finish it. He even shuddered. He looked at Rachel in horror: "It's like a god of death, a god of death who came out of hell..."

"After that, he gave birth to Princess Anne and became the princess?" Rachel asked.

"It's not that simple," Old Man Howard smiled wryly. "He is a man, and he entered the royal family in such a way. Neither the royal family nor us veterans are vegetarians, and we will not let him go easily. Even with the help of Crown Prince Edward, His life is still difficult. Princess Anne was born after he became queen."

Rachel felt a little strange when she heard this. She frowned, and couldn't help expressing the question in her heart: "Since all his power comes from Prince Edward, the death of Prince Edward will naturally be very detrimental to him. Why is Edward The prince died prematurely—”

"Your Majesty was killed in battle," Old Man Howard corrected, but suddenly a shrewdness flashed in his eyes, "Miss Rachel, no, Marquis Rachel, I hope you are clear and understand what you are talking about—Your Majesty, you died in battle."

Rachel shook her head and made up her mind to confront the old man once: "No, I have checked His Majesty Edward's information, and he has no history of any disease, not even any serious one. Even if he was injured in the war, he, as our Emperor, , is there no chance of rescue? On the battlefield back then, the only person who could get close to him was the queen, and they were together day and night, so you said the queen had no chance to harm him?!"

"This..." Howard hesitated, but shook his head, "What's the benefit of the queen killing the emperor? When His Majesty Edward died, he was immediately put under house arrest by us. Life is worse than death. Life is so bad, he has no motive to kill His Majesty."

"What if—" Rachel took a deep breath, "is he a member of the Zhuxia tribe?"

Howard's eyes widened in surprise, staring at Rachel.

"If he is a member of the Zhuxia clan, and happens to be a descendant of the Zhuxia royal family who was brutally exterminated by the Xingwang Dynasty, do you think he would do this?"

Old Man Howard hesitated for a while, and finally calmed down, looking into Rachel's eyes: "What proof?"

"Then please take me to see the queen you imprisoned: Liu Lixi. Let's see if he is still serious, being imprisoned in the room where you put him under house arrest—"
