"The eldest prince is still unmarried, but now that Your Highness has entered the thirties, it is time to consider the matter of settling down."
"Regarding a spouse, I have a recommended candidate."
"That is, Count Victor's sister..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gwen strode in from outside the court, clad in armor and with a long sword at her waist.
"Lady Gwen! We haven't reported to His Majesty yet!"
Two eunuchs followed closely behind Gwen, stumbling and crawling along, anxiously giving her warnings.
But now Gwen has arrived before the Emperor.
She led a disheveled man by the hand and threw him toward the center of the palace.
The crowd looked at the man who had been thrown onto the palace, exchanging bewildered glances.
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Who is this person?
"This man is named Chur. He was a soldier in the Kingdom of Kant who changed his identity and infiltrated the Empire, becoming a grain merchant and infiltrating the Clavenna family."
"His goal was to assassinate Victor and his sister Lia."
"But he failed and was instead captured by Viktor's sister."
Upon hearing this, the ministers in the imperial court all gasped in shock.
Previously, Victor was a viscount, and a powerful viscount with his own territory.
However, this nobleman's ranks were actually infiltrated by soldiers from the Kingdom of Kant.
The seriousness of this matter makes it hard not to suspect whether someone within the empire is in communication with the Kingdom of Kant.
Moreover, the assassination attempt occurred precisely when Victor became a count and his strength rose to the level of a fourth-tier mage.
Many people couldn't help but turn their attention to Jess Reiser.
Why?
Before this, no matter how much the nobles present disliked Viktor, they would never suggest hiring someone to assassinate him.
Since Victor is an Imperial, the grudges between Imperials should be resolved by the Imperials themselves.
What does it mean that a member of the Kingdom has infiltrated?
So recently, who harbors resentment towards Viktor, and who has the motive for doing so?
The nobles who were looking at Jess Raiser didn't say a word.
However, they have already made their current attitude towards Raiser clear.
Jess Reiser felt many malicious gazes directed at him, like dozens of sharp needles piercing him.
The emperor raised his eyes, looked at Gwen, and spoke his first words:
"Where is that child now?"
"Your Majesty, Lia is waiting outside the palace."
Emperor Auberley nodded and said:
"Let her in."
At the emperor's summons, several guards led Lia into the palace.
She stood before the emperor and, under the gaze of the crowd, bowed slightly to the emperor on the throne.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Emperor Auberley waved his hand.
"No need for such formalities."
After saying that, he stared at Liya and gave a faint smile.
"Okay, it's good that you're alright."
"Otherwise, this old man can't withstand Victor coming to bother me."
Everyone present could sense the emperor's affection; his admiration for Victor even extended to his sister.
Love me, love my dog.
Lia slowly stood up and glanced at Jess Reiser.
His eyes seemed to hold a strong sense of mockery.
But the mockery was fleeting; in this sudden turn of events, no one noticed Leah's expression.
At the emperor's signal, a mage slowly stepped forward and used a crystal ball to guide the unconscious Chur.
The mark slowly appeared on the crystal ball, then turned red and disappeared.
The mage turned to the emperor and said:
“Your Majesty, he is indeed not a citizen of the Empire, and he possesses a distinctly strong aura.”
The presence of abundant vital energy indicates that the opponent is a warrior, and one with considerable strength.
This essentially confirms the veracity of Lia's words.
Regardless of whether this soldier intended to assassinate Victor's family, the mere fact that a soldier from outside the powerful empire had infiltrated it warrants further investigation.
At this opportune moment, Duke Reeves, standing beside the Emperor, continued:
"Your Majesty, this matter should be thoroughly investigated."
The emperor nodded, gave an "Mm," and smiled at Liya.
"Child, come to me."
Lia bowed to the emperor again and slowly walked to his side.
Looking at Liya approaching, the emperor smiled and said:
“Your brother is Aurelion’s teacher, so you don’t need to be reserved around me.”
“I will investigate this matter further. You will also have done a great service by capturing such a kingdom warrior.”
Everyone present noticed the word "emperor".
He emphasized the relationship between the princess and Victor, which was a warning to everyone present.
Don't try to pull your dirty tricks on me.
Clavner will not support either side.
No one noticed that Jess Reiser clenched his fist slightly.
On what grounds?
Why would the emperor treat these two so well?
We are the royal family, Devon and I are your nephews!
A seed of jealousy was unknowingly planted in Jess Reiser's heart, slowly taking root and sprouting.
Suddenly, the emperor looked at Jess Raiser and asked:
"Speaking of which, you had something you wanted to say earlier."
"Go on."
Jessre was stunned. At this moment, he became the one being roasted over a fire.
Viktor's sister had just survived an assassination attempt, and he immediately proposed a marriage between the eldest prince and him...
