Chapter 148 Royal Family

The capital of the Crescent Empire is a city built on a huge mountain, and all buildings are gray-black domes.

Night time.

In the capital city, the large gray and black buildings were lit up with lights, like densely packed candles on the top of the mountain. The area with the most dense lights was where the imperial palace was.

In the bright yellow room, the walls were carved with fine and gorgeous golden floral decorations, and a huge floor-to-ceiling portrait was posted on the wall opposite the door.

That was the scene of Alex, the first emperor of the Crescent Empire, standing on the balcony of the palace holding a knight's sword.

Several rows of yellow wooden sofas are placed in an arc shape in the middle of the room. There are two long bookshelves on the right side, filled with various books with gold edges.

"Sit down, Yulia." The old emperor pointed to the sofa in front of him and looked at his little daughter with a smile.

Yulia perfectly inherited all the advantages of the Crescent Royal Family and the Ice Wing Royal Family.

She has a pure and pitiful face of a beautiful girl. Her skin is as white and as smooth as jade, with a faint layer of fluorescent light under the light. She has light blond hair hanging casually, winding down from her shoulders. What stood out were her clear purple gem-like eyes.

Yulia bowed her legs slightly and saluted, then carefully closed the door before walking over and sitting on the right hand side of the old emperor.

"Father, I wonder if there is any urgency for you to call Yulia here so late?" she asked with a smile.

"Yuliya, I remember you just turned sixteen last month, right?" The old emperor smiled and did not directly answer his youngest daughter's question, but asked an unrelated matter.

Yulia nodded in confusion, not understanding what her father's words meant.

"You will go to Campas Province on my behalf in two days to consecrate Sauron, the legitimate son of the Thoros family, as the new generation of Count Thoros." A soft smile appeared on the old emperor's face.

"Okay, Father." The confusion in Yulia's purple pupils became more intense.

"Although Zoro is about the same age as you, he is already a knight. After you leave, you can learn more from him." The old emperor held Yulia's hand and said.

Listening to the old emperor's words, Yulia gradually had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be...

"I have made an agreement with your mother-in-law that you will marry Sauron when you reach the marriage age stipulated by the Ice Wing royal family."

Yulia was stunned, as if struck by lightning, the ominous premonition in her heart came true, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The marriage age set by the Icewing royal family is eighteen years old, which means that it will be two years later.

"But Father, I have..." Yulia said halfway and swallowed the rest of the words.

Because she saw the cold glint in her father's eyes, she knew that he was informing her rather than discussing with her.

The consequences of not listening to my father's notice will be serious.

One of her sisters made a big mistake because she disobeyed her father. She is still locked up in a dungeon, living a life worse than death.

"Haha, let's go, go back and prepare well, and then go to Campas Province to meet your future husband. Zoro is handsome and talented. He is a very good child. Yulia, you will definitely like it. "

The old emperor stood up slowly, stretched out his sagging right hand and gently stroked her blond hair.

"Yuliya, you have grown up, and it is time to contribute to the Alex family that gave birth to you and raised you."

"Yuliya, you won't let your father down, right?"

Yulia nodded stiffly. The hand above her head seemed weak, but it was like a boulder weighing her down, unable to move.

The old emperor was very satisfied with her reaction. After returning to the sofa, he waved his hand and motioned for Yulia to leave.

After his youngest daughter left, he once again picked up the secret letter from the Lord of Highland City on the table and read it carefully.

"Thoros family, Sauron... I will marry my most beautiful daughter to you. I hope your nobles will not disappoint me when they vote in the parliament!"

The old emperor sighed softly, and a strong feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

With the continuous development of the times, more and more people, whether they are traditional aristocrats or emerging aristocrats, began to support the implementation of a constitutional monarchy system in the Crescent Empire.

This issue that he once suppressed has now begun to be raised frequently again, even to the point of being voted on in the Parliament of Nobles.

Constitutional monarchy sounds nice, but in fact it is not that at all.

The old emperor knew that some people wanted to take this opportunity to further weaken the power of the royal family.

As for who was behind the scenes, he knew very well, so he felt powerless.

Since their ancestors left, many people have begun to experiment step by step, and now they have finally reached the point where they can see everything.

He didn't want to see the decline and end of the Crescent Royal Family in his own hands, so when he saw the secret report from the Soros family, he immediately thought of wooing them.

The old emperor knew the character of the president. He hated people who did not follow the rules and challenged the order, so the new head of the Soros family would definitely be severely punished by him.

This is an opportunity for him to win over the Soros family.

If he can say something nice for the Soros family in parliament, Sauron will definitely have a good impression of the royal family, but just a good impression is not enough. If he wants the Soros family to completely stand on the side of the royal family, marriage is indispensable. of.

"Alas..." The old emperor sighed.

He didn't know if there was any use in doing this, but he didn't want to do nothing and just sit there and let others slaughter him.

Yulia walked out of the study in despair.

The cool night wind blew on her body, and she suddenly shuddered and was refreshed.

A strong reluctance emerged in Yulia's heart. She didn't want to marry Sauron, whom she had never met, and she didn't want to run to the Campas Province thousands of miles away, and she didn't want to leave...

"No... there must be a way."

A thought flashed through her mind, and she looked up at the full moon in the sky, and the panic in her eyes gradually calmed down.

...

The dim sunlight in the afternoon fell on the Soros Manor, presenting a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The balcony on the second floor of a building in the manor.

The balcony was semicircular, and Lu He was lying on the sofa, wearing white casual clothes with silver edges, long sleeves and long pants. The sun shone on his face, reflecting a dark yellow halo.

"Master, the noble council sent a letter, asking you to explain the situation of this conflict at the next meeting." Butler Jose stood aside, holding the letter he had just received.

"If you don't go, just say I'm busy and can't leave for the time being. I'll go when I have time." Lu He replied absent-mindedly.

Only a fool would go to explain.

Also, is it really just an explanation? The more polite the letter is, the more complicated it seems to him.

When we get to the capital, to someone else's territory, we can't do it ourselves.

It's better to wait until I recover my strength before playing.

Now I'll just stay in Soros Manor honestly, unless the president comes to Campas Province to invite him in person.

Otherwise, Lu He won't move.

"Also, the Shadow Chapter has no response to the task we entrusted." Butler Jose said puzzledly.

"They neither refused nor agreed. The commissions submitted in the past seemed to have fallen into the sea."

"Maybe they are afraid and are playing dead." Butler Jose continued to analyze.

Lu He didn't reply. He suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the sunset floating slowly in the sky.

A wisp of mental power emerged in his mind.

"It's a long-lost feeling!"

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Thank you for your monthly tickets, recommendations and rewards. Thank you very much!

I caught a cold recently and feel really bad. So there may be fewer updates. Please understand. I will make up for it when I get better.
