However, because the distance was too far, and Lia found a very good angle, it was impossible to reach the target.
With it deliberately obscured, no one could see what it was.
“Mrs. Kasanna, you are also a member of the Reiser family. You should know better than me what this is.”
Lady Kasanna's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw what Lia was holding.
"Why do you have..."
“I told you, your son Jess Reiser tried to send someone to kill me.”
"This is naturally the spoils of war I have acquired."
Lia smiled and put away her gun.
"I'll give you some time to prepare. My brother will come to collect the money in person."
"I hope you won't be stingy with the money you've prepared for your son's life."
After saying that, Lia gracefully swayed her waist and turned to walk towards the mansion.
The knights watched Lia's departing figure, but none of them dared to go up and stop her.
Only after Lia's figure completely disappeared did Kasanna feel a darkness before her eyes and lean backward.
Fortunately, the female guard caught her in time and helped her up.
Kasanna's earlier intimidating aura had long since vanished, replaced by an image of the broken pistol in her mind.
With Elsa's help, Lady Kasanna stepped into the carriage, her face pale and her expression forlorn.
...
Emperor Aubrey sat on his throne, watching his ministers below continuously report news.
"Your Majesty, Count Victor has kidnapped the heir of the Leather family. Shouldn't you be the one to handle this matter?"
“Victor set fire to the Leather family mansion, and now it’s just ruins.”
“Your Majesty, Victor is using Jess to threaten the Leather family, making exorbitant demands. This is indeed a disregard for the law.”
"I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly."
One by one, the ministers reported on the knights' accounts, cautiously probing the issue of the conflict between the Clavenna and Leather families.
They wanted to know what the emperor's attitude was at this moment.
Aubrey absentmindedly tapped the armrest with his fingers, glancing at Gwen beside him:
"Gwen, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I believe there are still hidden circumstances surrounding this matter."
Hearing her words, the emperor patted the armrest of his throne and burst into laughter.
“You previously said that you are a knight and will not get involved in politics.”
"But when it came to Viktor's matter, you were more actively involved than anyone else."
Gwen lowered her head, her face flushed slightly, but she dared not retort:
"You're right."
The emperor shook his head and said.
"It's a pity that Reeves recently went on a long trip, otherwise I could have asked him what he thought."
Seeing the emperor's reaction, the ministers became somewhat anxious.
What is His Majesty really thinking?
This matter has reached a very serious stage!
What kind of family is the Raiser family? They are a noble family that practically controls everything in the south.
They control the economic lifeline of the South and are extremely wealthy.
The Clevina family is equally important, primarily embodied in Victor.
Everyone knew Viktor's true identity.
Whether it's the Raiser family or the Clavenna family, if they were to fight amongst themselves, it would be a huge loss for the empire no matter what.
Just then, a eunuch slowly walked into the palace and came before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Lady Kasanna requests an audience."
The ministers immediately perked up and looked toward the entrance of the main hall.
Lady Kasanna, holding up her long dress, walked gracefully towards them.
She faced the emperor, and the emperor looked back at Kasanna.
Although the two are siblings, they give everyone present the impression that they have no familial affection for each other.
The royal family is ruthless.
Kasanna bowed slightly:
"His Majesty."
"Oh, it's Kasanna. You don't need to bow."
Kasanna straightened up and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, Jess has been kidnapped by Victor, and he is also threatening the Reiser family, demanding substantial compensation."
Her voice was calm, but her words seemed to be filled with a hint of anger.
The emperor sat on his throne, listening quietly as she finished speaking.
His fingers tapped incessantly on the handrail.
"So, do you want me to send in the army to capture Viktor, or...?"
Suddenly, Aubrey's eyes became incredibly sharp.
It was like a sword blade capable of cleaving the heavens and the earth, hanging above Cassandra's head.
"You want me to take action?"
Under this terrifying aura, the surrounding officials all trembled slightly.
Even the guards nearby lowered their heads under this oppressive atmosphere.
Even under such a terrifying aura, Kasanna showed no fear. She simply lowered her head and, with respect, said:
"Your Majesty, I am not here to ask you to send troops."
“You are my elder brother, and as family, you know my personality best.”
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
“I have already lost one child, and now I cannot lose a second Jess.”
The emperor remained silent.
His sister, Kasanna Saul.
Although she has now changed her surname to Raiser, she still carries Thor's bloodline.
The ministers around her who knew anything about Kasanna were also trembling.
I couldn't help but recall that memory.
The previous princess, Cassandra, was no mere pretty face.
She is known as the "War Saintess".
In her youth, Kasanna also experienced the trials of countless wars.
