On the morning of the third day, Martin slowly woke up between Fuya and Reina. He had a lot to do today, arranging the dragon cubs' departure and advancing the subsequent procedures for establishing the empire.
Although there is no movement in the Northern Continent at present, Martin knows that after they have figured out their situation.
Without absolute certainty, I would never dare to attack again. I believe that the next confrontation will be the decisive battle that determines the outcome.
After Martin got up, he took a bath, changed his clothes, washed up, and had breakfast with the careful service of the maids. Then he went straight to the throne room to deal with the affairs of the kingdom.
Malcador and Yoder established a new Internal Affairs Department, a department responsible for handling all decision-making matters within the kingdom, both large and small.
However, the Internal Affairs Office only has the right to annotate and not the right to review, which greatly saves Martin's time.
He only needs to check each matter and modify the handling method. If he feels that it is not up to standard, he will reject it.
Moreover, all members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are Martin's sworn guards, so there is no need to worry about leaks.
Soon, time quietly came to around ten o'clock in the morning.
Martin looked up at the time and felt it was about time, so he picked up the communication crystal and notified Alton to come to the throne hall to meet him.
Afterwards, he continued to concentrate on reviewing the intelligence and memorials sent from various places.
At this moment, a piece of intelligence came into view, which showed that a noble had ordered the local garrison to brutally kill more than 300 civilian girls, just to obtain their blood to refine magic potions in order to achieve the purpose of eternal youth.
Martin was instantly furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "Someone come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of well-trained knights quickly walked into the hall, knelt on one knee in unison, and responded in unison: "Your Majesty!"
Martin's face was gloomy, and he gave a decisive order: "Go, bring the Minister of the Military Department to me, I have something to ask him."
After receiving the order, the knight squad immediately withdrew to carry out the mission.
Martin clutched the intelligence, shaking with anger, threw it back on the table, then stood up and paced back and forth in the hall angrily.
Soon, Alton hurried to the throne room. Seeing Martin so furious, he dared not breathe a word and stood quietly by, not daring to ask the reason.
Martin saw Alton and motioned him to wait for a moment. Alton obeyed the order and stood quietly aside.
Not long after, the Minister of Military Affairs came jogging over.
After entering the throne room, he hurriedly saluted Martin and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I wonder what you are looking for me for?"
Without saying a word, Martin threw the outrageous information directly to the Minister of Military Affairs.
After the minister took it and checked it, he felt a pang in his heart. He really didn't expect that someone could drive the local legion to do such a cruel thing.
His heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Seeing this, Martin laughed out loud in anger. "Of course you're guilty! A local legion could be arbitrarily ordered by a mere noble to capture innocent girls. This is a monstrous disgrace! What are you all doing? Are you all just sitting there doing nothing and not wanting to do your job properly?"
The Minister of Military Affairs was scolded so much that his face turned red and he couldn't even raise his head.
Just then, a figure appeared outside the throne room and first informed the maid at the door.
As a legendary warrior with sharp hearing, Martin naturally heard the noise. Without waiting for the maid to move, he said directly, "Come in."
The figure walked quickly into the hall and respectfully handed over a piece of information.
Martin stretched out his hand and waved it lightly, and the information flew straight into his hands as if pulled by an invisible force.
This was obtained after Martin read the memorial and specially mobilized the intelligence department to conduct an in-depth investigation.
Martin opened the magic seal and looked at it carefully.
"How could it be the Merlin family? How is this possible!"
After reading the intelligence, Martin muttered to himself in disbelief, then slowly sat back on the throne and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, the Minister of Military Affairs and Alton did not dare to speak rashly. For a moment, the throne room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a few minutes, Martin came back to his senses from his thoughts and waved his hand, signaling the Minister of War to leave.
Then he looked at Alton and ordered, "Take those ten dragon cubs and escort them back to Dragon Island." After giving these instructions, Martin let the three of them go down.
At this moment, Martin sat alone on the throne, thinking to himself that the queen was pregnant, and it was not appropriate to make a big fuss about the Merlin family's affairs at this time.
After thinking for a moment, Martin stood up and walked towards Jovian's bedroom. He wanted to hear Jovian's opinion on the matter. If she couldn't tell right from wrong, he would have to give her a decent treatment.
Martin took the information and went straight to Jovian's palace.
Along the way, he ignored the maids and knights who saluted and greeted him, and hurried into the inner hall.
At this moment, Jovian was sitting there, knitting clothes for her baby who was going to be born in two months.
Seeing Martin come in, she struggled to stand up with her big belly.
Seeing this, Martin hurried forward and said softly, "Sit down quickly, don't get up, and have a good rest."
Seeing that Jovian was unable to move, Martin unnoticeably put the information into the space ring.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Martin found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
Jovian was not an ignorant person. She saw clearly how Martin walked in angrily.
Seeing Martin leave, Qiao Wei'an immediately called the maid and ordered: "Go and find out what happened."
An hour later, the maid hurried back with the report: "Your Majesty, today in the throne room, Your Majesty flew into a rage and scolded the Minister of War. Afterwards, Your Majesty stormed straight to your chambers with a piece of intelligence."
After hearing this, Qiao Wei'an understood in her heart that something big must have happened, and the fact that His Majesty came to her was most likely related to the Merlin family.
Then, Qiao Vian took out the communication crystal and quickly dialed the number.
Soon, the line was connected, and the familiar voice of Duke Merlin came: "Your Highness, are you missing me, an old woman?"
Qiao Wei'an was in no mood to joke at the moment, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, stop joking. It's like this..."
Then, she told Duke Merlin everything that had happened today. Upon hearing this, Duke Merlin immediately said seriously, "Your Highness, please don't worry. I will investigate this matter and see if it has any connection with our Merlin family."
After saying that, he hung up the call. Qiao Wei'an waited anxiously for news.
Meanwhile, Martin had already returned to the throne room.
He sat on the throne, his eyes somewhat blank, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to the past, remembering the many ways Duke Merlin had taken care of him.
He couldn't help but feel conflicted. Should he take action against the Merlin family?
