Emperor Ser finally found out about Sean's disappearance on the road, and after returning to the palace, the princes and princesses were all scolded...
The prince of another country, who may be the future heir, disappeared in the country under his jurisdiction and was attacked.
This kind of thing would be a terrifying story for any emperor. He had just purged the disloyal subordinates around him, and he must not let anything else happen at this time. The other party is the pearl in the desert. If something goes wrong, it is likely that these forces that have just been suppressed in the country will rise again.
In the end, Emperor Sel became more and more angry and decided to put all his children in solitary confinement. He also came to apologize to Sean in person... Of course, for Sean, a few petty thieves were nothing to be defeated, but Sean could take this opportunity to ask the other party to hand over the two attackers, Tatsumi and Tashigi, to him.
"What does Prince Sean want with those two prisoners?" Emperor Sel asked in confusion.
"After all, they were the ones who attacked me. I want to take them back for interrogation myself, and of course punish them myself," Sean replied.
They were originally two small characters and no one would take them seriously. Since Sean asked for it, Emperor Sel would of course agree. However, at the same time, the royal investigators also found relevant personnel from the carriage hijacking incident that day.
Without exception, they were assassinated in their homes...
Moreover, he died before the investigators arrived. According to calculations, he might have been killed that afternoon.
That was when Sean came back after defeating the two assassins. All the soldiers were only concerned with protecting the convoy to prevent any further problems. At the same time, some soldiers who had not received the news were still looking for the whereabouts of the prince's carriage. It was during that period of time that all the relevant people were dealt with.
Since the target of this attack was Sean, Emperor Sel did not hide the investigation, but shared all the information he knew...
"So it was premeditated."
"That's right. They knew the assassination attempt had failed, so they quickly cleaned up the mess. Anyone trying to sow discord between us at this point is most likely a remnant of the rebels, or the Free Men."
Emperor Sel, who stepped up his investigation, sent some private messages, hoping that Sean would not transfer his anger to the Kserk royal family, but should pay more attention to the rebels and the common enemies of the two countries.
"Well, what were found among those who died?"
Of course Sean understood what the other party meant, and he also had his own thoughts in his mind.
"They are all veterans who have served for more than ten years. They know their family backgrounds very well and cannot find any flaws. If it was arranged in advance, they would have been placed in the palace a long time ago." Emperor Sel also frowned when talking about this.
More than ten years...
Doesn't that mean that the other party was placed in the palace shortly after he ascended the throne?
At that time, my foundation was not solid, unlike now when I can say that I have no final say. Many people just followed the older generation without investigating them in detail.
But now it seems that these old people and veterans are informants who have been planted around the royal family for many years... Once there is a need, they will jump out to do something.
If he could kidnap Prince Sean today, he could kidnap other princes tomorrow, even himself.
It seems that not only the officials in the hall, but even the military will begin to investigate people carefully!
Emperor Sel has always been reluctant to move against the military, because once a country's army has problems, there will be big problems on the border. But the current situation forces him to do something, and he has to start clearing out the corrupt officials in the army little by little, just like his father.
"Don't worry, Prince Sean. I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter."
Emperor Serge made a solemn promise to Sean...
But Sean felt that time might not be enough. He didn't want to waste too much time in this country, and it was almost time to leave.
He also had some clues about the person behind the attack.
"Wizards' Council!"
It was not until Emperor Cel left that Lucille deduced the person behind the scene from his words.
"You mean the Wizarding Council?" He hadn't heard this name for a long time, but Sean was not unfamiliar with it. Several of the frictions between them were caused by them.
Although the Wizarding Society didn't do much in the timeline twenty years ago, he understood from that time that this organization did not rely on powerful magic or wizards to attract people, but relied on the ability to take on all kinds of bad and dirty jobs to develop.
Today, its influence is spread across almost all powerful countries, and it also has certain contacts with officials.
"You said this was something a wizard would do?" Frelia also stood up and asked at this time.
"There's no one else but them. How dare that wax-faced guy bully us?"
At this point in time, Sean heard the name Wax Face again.
"He's the head of the wizarding council?"
"He is the leader of the Wizarding Society. He has been wandering around various countries in the southern continent, and it is difficult to find him."
After all, more than 20 years have passed. When I heard that the other party was just a person in charge of the capital of Xerxes, it seemed reasonable that he had become the leader now.
"I'm going out to investigate tonight. You just stay here and wait for my news." Lucille said.
Lucille had come to Kserk before to track down the Wizarding Society, and had some understanding of them. It was also she who first told her about the existence of such an organization as the Wizarding Society.
"You may not be able to find them if you go there now. Since they have already cleaned up the mess, I guess they are already gone... So why are they targeting me?" Sean asked Lucille.
But in an instant, both of them thought of what happened in the small town of Thelmian.
At that time, the two of them teamed up to kill a member of the wizarding council. Although looking back now, Lucille was too good at acting at that time. If they really fought, she could almost kill the opponent in seconds. They kept fighting in secret. Later, when they met again in Jagun, they talked about that incident.
At that time, Lucille didn't want others to know the strength she had concealed, and of course she would not really let the other party leave alive. If she hadn't happened to take action to destroy the other party's magic, she would have taken action!
"That thing..."
"You're not going to go against me just for a level 8 minion?"
"So it's definitely not that. The wizards are very organized in their work. If you don't investigate carefully, you'll never know what they're going to do. I'll go to the city tonight and take a look. I know a few of their strongholds. You guys should avoid going there to avoid the many rules in the palace."
Lucille was referring, of course, to the soldiers who occasionally came over.
"Okay then, just be careful." Sean added.
On one hand, the attack on the Desert Prince was going on, and on the other hand, the Jagun Navy that rushed over from Yalan Fort finally arrived.
After nearly ten days of travel...
A total of more than 10,000 troops officially entered the capital of the Kserk Empire.
