In the imperial capital, in the secret room of the grocery store.

Qiong drank wine one cup after another, with a lonely and painful expression on her face.

Arthur silently drank with Joan, unable to think of any words of comfort.

Qiong smiled bitterly, "I finally understand what you said to me in the palace garden that night. Some responsibilities are destined to be unable to escape. I obviously wanted to escape before, but now the opportunity comes, I must avenge him, otherwise I will never be able to overcome it, even if the target of revenge is the next Emperor of Light!"

Arthur nodded heavily: "I understand!"

"But I have nothing, no strength, no army, no money, no intelligence, I have nothing except the identity of a worthless prince!" Tears rolled in Qiong's eyes.

Arthur grabbed Joan's arm and said hard: "You have friends, you have me!"

Joan looked at Arthur and suddenly laughed, "You are the fool, the real big fool, opposite the emperor, the most powerful person in the entire Empire of Light, why do you want to get yourself in?"

"When I was a child, I was facing vicious orcs. When one day I finally had the strength to become a mercenary, I was facing the pursuit of the killer organization!" Arthur also laughed and said, "Maybe this is my life, I am always struggling and resisting! But I am still alive, as long as I am alive, I will continue to struggle and resist, no matter who the opponent is!"

"Yes, as long as you are still alive, continue to struggle and resist, no matter who your opponent is! Drink!"

Qiong was drinking with big mouthfuls of wine, with wine and friends around him, which allowed him to temporarily relieve the huge responsibility and pressure.

Joan soon drank too much and fell asleep.

Looking at the frown of Joan after she fell asleep, Arthur unconsciously touched the magic token on his waist, and his heart was struggling in pain again.

Arthur took a deep breath, covered Joan with a quilt, and walked out of the secret room.

Arthur quietly walked out of the back door of the Nino grocery store. Because the magic light cover above his head was shaking all over the past two days, even the hotel street, which had always been lively, became scattered by pedestrians.

Arthur went to Xiaoyaoju, which he had been to before. He asked for a seat by the window on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea and two dishes of cold dishes, and was stunned for a tea alone.

It was already noon, and Arthur was alone on the entire second floor.

When Arthur slowly finished drinking a pot of tea and preparing to ask for a second pot, a slightly fat middle-aged man walked up from downstairs. The middle-aged man was wearing a brocade robe, with a greasy face and a neatly trimmed beard under his chin. It seemed that he was a pampering person on weekdays.

The middle-aged man walked straight towards Arthur with a smile, "But the Earl of Jiayong?"

Those who can directly call Arthur's title indirectly indicate the identity of this person.

Arthur signaled the middle-aged man to sit opposite him, turned his head and shouted downstairs, "My man, my friend is waiting for, and another group of tea and two dishes of side dishes."

The middle-aged man sat down and showed his identity directly, "I am Van Luo, and I work under General Jace."

Arthur chuckled and said, "I just wanted to try it out, but I didn't expect your actions to be so fast."

"We are very worried about the earl's safety these two days and have been waiting for news about the earl."

"Are you more worried about Joan's safety?"

Fan Luo did not deny it, but asked directly: "His Royal Highness Qiong is still with the Earl?"

Arthur nodded lightly.

"Your Majesty made a special explanation before leaving, and he must assist the Earl and His Highness Joan to leave the imperial capital safely."

Arthur looked at the magic light cover above his head outside the window and said faintly: "Do you have a way to leave now?"

"Not yet, but we probably won't last long. If the Count doesn't mind, I can help arrange my place to live. Once the magic light cover disappears, you can use the teleportation magic array to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"I have one more thing to do before I leave. If I don't do it, I'm worried that Joan will not leave."

"I guess the Earl came to me for this reason, right? If there is someone I can serve, please tell me." Fan Luo guessed very smartly.

When it comes to the next Emperor and the Royal Magician, no one in the entire capital can help Joan and Arthur. Arthur knew that Strach wanted to use Joan, and Arthur wanted to try to use Isaac's power in turn to deal with the Royal Magician.

Arthur looked straight at Van Low, "What I want to say is too important. Can you make the decision?"

"After General Jace leaves, all information and liaison matters in the imperial capital are responsible for. Even if I cannot make any decisions, I can directly ask the General Manager and Your Majesty through magical communication."

"Okay, listen. Joan found some clues about the assassination of the Emperor. The mastermind behind it is likely not the Great Highness, but the second Highness Grantham who is about to succeed the throne. But if you want to verify this, you need the confession of the great magician Arman of the royal wizard. Do you have any solutions?"

Fan Luo was shocked, "This matter is too serious, I want to ask Your Majesty for instructions."

......

The eastern border of the Isaac Kingdom, the Iron Liberation Army camp.

In just a few months, the garrisons of the Iron Liberation Legion have quietly expanded several times than before. In recent days, troops from the inland areas of the Kingdom have secretly stationed into the Iron Liberation Legion's barracks.

In the central army's tent, the commander of the legion, Grand Duke Patrick, was sitting in the lower head. The one sitting in the middle of the commander's chair was His Majesty King Strech, and the intelligence chief Jace bowed and stood beside the commander's chair.

Strach showed joy in his face holding the magic message, but sighed: "It's indeed the most toxic woman's heart. For the sake of her son, the emperor and the empress ignored decades of marriage and even blamed Alex."

"Empress? I just saw the magic messenger and Earl Arthur was going to investigate the Second Highness?" Grand Duke Patrick said in confusion.

Strezzi smiled and said, "Arthur is young after all, and he doesn't understand the inside story. With Grantham's ability and skills? Behind all major events is the emperor and the empress."

Patrick suddenly realized and said, "Your Highness, who is stigmatized by the father-killing, includes the Northland Legion and Hollo, and the two countries of Bados. The second highness, the real regicide murderer, also has Prince Galach and Locke, and the two countries of Rouge. Then the situation in Alantis is really chaotic!"

Strezi laughed and said, "I am waiting for this chaos! The principle of killing my father and usurping the throne is hard to tolerate, so naturally we cannot sit idly by and watch!"

Patrick immediately stood up and saluted, "As long as His Majesty the King gives orders, our iron-flowing army will immediately send Alantis!"
