Eastern Kingdoms, capital of Rensenburg.

In the palace, the blood that lasted for a long time caused panic, but due to the old king's usual sternness, most people did not even dare to stop and watch for a moment.

In the study, the old king, who was a little weak in energy, was lying on the table and fell asleep. Next to his left hand was a thick waiting to be reviewed. The waiter next to him was a little nervous. He didn't know if he should remind the increasingly irritated old king of this strange vision.

Fortunately, a series of footsteps relieved him of the siege.

"General Howell!" The waiter looked surprised.

"You go down, I will talk to His Highness the King alone."

He was a middle-aged man with a tall figure. Although his tone was peaceful, the oncoming power still made the waiter who had served the king for a long time feel a little unbearable.

Only warriors who have been through the battlefield have this heart-wrenching feeling.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and left silently.

Tonight, the king wanted to work diligently and learned about the financial and tax situations in various places overnight, so he only brought him alone to the waiter. It is logical that he should not leave. However, Howell's reputation is almost universal in the capital Rensenburg.

He was the old king's most trusted person. The friendship between the two sides was formed from the stage of the war in which Howell followed the king when he was young, and he never turned against each other due to power disputes and other enemies.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to enter and exit the forbidden area of ​​the palace without authorization.

"Don't go too far. You will need to wait for you later."

When the waiter and the door came, Howell suddenly mentioned.

He nodded, and also breathed a sigh of relief.

[At least I don't need to wake up this irritable tiger; over the years, his temper has become more and more irritable, which is really terrible...]

With such thoughts, he did not dare to stay too far away, but stood there peacefully from a certain distance.

From this angle, you can see the blood light condensed in the sky.

He had lived in the palace for a long time and suddenly remembered a legend.

That legend is related to His Royal Highness Evelyn, who is now far away in the Ice Wind Territory, and also to her mysterious mother...

His thoughts were interrupted in an instant.

Because there were irritable scolding in the study.

The waiter was even more grateful to General Howell.

...

In the study room.

"Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, I will punish you quickly."

Howell's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but he said quickly: "But I do have something very important."

There was still saliva on the corner of the old king's mouth, and he was slowly wiping it with the fine silk.

Although he was old, he still knew Howell. Without real big things, he would not have done such presumptuous things.

He has always been very sensible.

The angry scolding just now was purely cathartic, and at the same time, the old king himself prepared for the possible bad news.

“What is it about?”

"etc……"

Before the old king could finish asking, he suddenly felt aroused, as if he had lost something, and his hands began to fumble on his body wildly.

He even jumped up from his position in a hurry and almost fell!

"Vanished..."

"My blood covenant..."

"you……"

He looked up suddenly and looked at Howell.

The latter sighed softly and pushed open the window silently. Outside the window, the blood-red light began to fade away, but it was still a little dazzling.

“There should be some bad statements at the meeting tomorrow.”

"But I don't care about those people, you know what I want to say."

Howell's tone was a bit weird, and it sounded very firm, but it also had a hint of regret.

puff!

The old king sat dejectedly on the soft chair.

At that moment, he seemed to have been ten years older.

"My blood contract has disappeared, the emperor's blood contract..."

"Haha, everyone knows that I am invincible on the battlefield because I am extremely brave; but they don't know that if I had not been protected by the Emperor's Blood Deed, I would have died dozens of times; no one knows..."

"That's the only thing Ulrika left to me."

When talking about the name Ulrika, some light shines in his eyes.

Howell bowed his head and was silent.

That's not a name he can talk about.

Regarding the Emperor's Blood Deed, probably only Howell and another palace mage - Evelyn's teacher, know some content.

That was the powerful blessing given to the old king by the mysterious Ulrika. Only with the protection of the Emperor's Blood Deed could he be invincible on the battlefield.

That was also the only legacy of the Caesar Empire that Ullika had in his hands.

Although Ulrika left the world many years ago, the Emperor's Blood Deed has been there. Now, the Emperor's Blood Deed has disappeared. This means that the inheritor of the Caesar Empire has awakened like Ulrika many years ago.

Evelyn awakened.

This is a very dangerous uncertainty for the entire Eastern Kingdom, especially since she is now far away in the Ice Wind Corner.

Thinking of this, Howell couldn't help but look up at the old king.

At the beginning, he strongly opposed Evelyn's flight away, but the old king seemed to have intentionally indulged him.

Perhaps the old king still had a lucky heart, thinking that Evelyn could not awaken the bloodline of the Caesar Empire like his mother. After all, not every generation can explode. Generally speaking, one outbreak must be at least several generations before it can accumulate brand new power and prepare for the next outbreak.

But now, things have changed.

Evelyn's awakening added more unstable factors to the already unpredictable Eastern Kingdom. The nobles of the kingdom could not support the descendants of the Caesar Empire to become queens; the church would not allow it.

And after any other heirs ascended the throne, the first thing they did was probably kill Evelyn.

Then what will Evelyn do?

With powerful power, Evelyn, who still remembers her mother's encounter, will she show mercy to her brothers and sisters?

These thoughts quickly passed through the two of them, and both sides actually had a fixed number.

This is not the first time Howell has mentioned this issue.

He had talked to the old king a long time ago that if an accident happened, there should be an emergency plan.

But the old king was very stubborn in this regard.

He may think he can live fifty years.

A squeak.

Howell closed the window, and the waiter outside the corridor was trembling with cold, but he didn't dare to take a look.

...

"Then what should you do?" The old king struggled a little: "I can't kill Evelyn."

"She is Ullika's child, and me."

"You have a lot of kids," Howell said calmly.

"What's more, you know the power of the Emperor's Blood Deed."

The old king trembled.

"I heard that the awakening of Caesar's blood often means war. A large number of innocent people will die in the war and eventually flow into a river of blood."

Howell said seriously: "I don't want to see this happen."

"Please give order!"

The old king's eyes gradually lost their spirit. After a long time, he suddenly lifted his pen, grabbed a note and wrote some words, and then stamped his own secret seal.

"Which side are you going to do it?" He looked a little tired, but he still asked casually.

"His Highness Evelyn has my people. As long as you have your orders, tomorrow... the shadow of the Caesar Empire will not linger on the homeland of the Rhine Kingdom."

Howell stepped forward, took the note, looked carefully, and after confirming that, he nodded slightly.

"There is another very important thing, which is related to the Blue Clan, the most popular church in the Ice Goddess Church recently."

"Your Majesty, there are ears across the wall..."
