In early April, before Dingle had returned to Salibia due to an accident on his return journey, his father, Albert Wolfgang, died in the Royal Castle at the age of fifty-five.

Albert Wolfgang served as the second emperor of the Delta Federation Empire for only twenty-nine days until the day of his death.

The government's official obituary stated that Emperor Albert Wolfgang died from overwork and illness.

However, two other rumors have circulated among the public.

One theory is that he died by suicide, but the reasons for his suicide are widely debated.

Some say he felt deeply guilty because he had been the right-hand man of the sinner Von Palen and was also burdened with serious crimes. Others say he had a close personal relationship with Von Palen and the two were once inseparable friends, but he ordered Von Palen to be hanged, which made him unable to overcome the pangs of conscience, so he chose to commit suicide.

There are many theories, more than two, but ultimately there is no definitive conclusion. Moreover, whether he committed suicide or not is just a rumor, and there is no evidence to prove it.

Another rumor is that Albert Wolfgang did not die of illness or suicide, but was assassinated.

To be able to assassinate the newly enthroned second emperor of the Federal Empire, the assassin must be no ordinary person. It is said that this assassin has been lurking among the high-ranking government officials for a long time, or is one of them. It is also said that the previous emperor, Hadra X. von Palen, was nearly assassinated by this assassin before.

There are rumors that the assassin's name is "Nemesis," but this is obviously just an alias. Everyone knows that Nemesis refers to "the Avenger."

If this is true, then we can deduce that the assassin is most likely a member of one of the countries that were once destroyed, most likely the Kosovos. They are currently causing a great deal of trouble in the eastern and northern regions, and the unrest is escalating, suggesting that the next war is brewing.

However, no one knows for sure who the assassin was, or whether there was an assassin at all. After all, the assassination of Albert Wolfgang is just a rumor without any evidence.

But the residents of Salibia had been hoping for the return of the emperor's son, Dingle, since the day the government posted the obituary.

There are many reasons why we look forward to his return.

Firstly, as Albert Wolfgang's only son, he should return to Salibia at this time and provide a convincing answer to the matter.

Secondly, General Greg, commander of the Seventh Army, which is based in the southern region, recently began sending troops to Salibia, a move that has made many people uneasy.

At the coronation ceremony of the new emperor a month ago, General Greg, who held great power, did not come to the capital. In the previous war with the Yan people, General Greg also repeatedly refused Hadra X. von Palen's orders. All signs seemed to indicate that he was no longer under anyone's control.

This is really worrying.

People preferred that the Albert family take control of the imperial power, and Dingle, as the son of the deceased emperor, was seen by most as a good choice.

After all, he was the one who first negotiated with the Yan people, which led to the end of the war.

Thirdly, the unrest in the eastern and northern regions has intensified, and those whose countries were destroyed have united and shouted infuriating slogans calling for the division of the country.

They even attempted to establish a new country.

Therefore, everyone hopes to elect a new emperor as soon as possible, who must resolve these unrest and maintain the unity of the country.

For various reasons, people eagerly awaited the return of the emperor's son.

The question remains: will Dingle, who is awaiting his return, be able to successfully take over the imperial power and become the third emperor of the Delta Federation, as well as resolve General Greg's challenge, maintain national unity, and restore social stability, among other difficult tasks?

That's all a story for another time.

That was the magnificent life of Albert Dingle. (Salisnor Continent Chapter - Conclusion)
