After listening to Nicole's words, Roddy pondered and said nothing. At this time, he was no longer the ignorant boy who knew nothing. Over the past few days, not only did his force increase, but his vision and mind were no longer the ignorant boy who was the day after being educated by scholars and reading books at home every day.

Roddy certainly knew what kind of situation the empire was facing after facing such a fierce foreign war.

The Northwest Legion was mostly damaged, which means that one legion had been crippled. What follows is that the entire northwest territory of the empire was exposed to the military front of the Great Moon Kingdom! Although the overall military strength of the empire is far stronger than that of the Great Moon Kingdom, it is not possible to mobilize the Northern and Southern corps in three or five days. At this moment, the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom came to the imperial capital to be an envoy, which was nothing more than two possibilities:

The first possibility is to declare war! However, this possibility is not great. Because after all, the overall strength of the Great Moon Kingdom is unlikely to fight a comprehensive war between countries with the empire. Moreover, even if a war is declared, there is no need to send a prince to come and send an envoy at will. Otherwise, once the war is declared, the sent envoy is likely to be slaughtered by the emperor in anger.

The second possibility: peace talks! Roddy believes that this possibility is relatively high. After all, the empire is currently defeated, and the situation in the northwest is very dangerous. Whether it is really tolerating the anger and willing to be humiliated, or a delayed strategy is used to gather troops, the empire needs to gain time to breathe for a while.

If the Prince Songzan was really here to negotiate peace, then the conflict between them in the Ecstasy Cave was really a disaster. The Rondoer, who was severely injured by himself, was probably a general under Prince Songzan. This conflict could be regarded as a serious diplomatic incident. Even if the Prince Songzan was injured by him, he was just a small guard. If the Prince Songzan deliberately wanted to make things worse, he would use this matter to act like a rogue, and deliberately make things difficult during the peace negotiations and the lion spoke loudly, it would make the empire very troubled - after all, if he beat someone's envoy in his own imperial capital, it would be unreasonable no matter what.

Both of them fell into silence, and they were speechless all the way, and returned to the mansion under the escort of the guards.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of the house, I saw more than twenty white horses at the door of the Tulip family from afar. More than twenty knights stood on both sides waiting. Each of these knights was tall, wearing golden armor, with a special golden-shelf sword around his waist, and a long red tassel was inserted on each of them.

Nicole could see at a glance that these were the Royal Guards in the palace, and she was even more shocked.

As soon as Roddy and Nicole got off the horse, a middle-aged knight led by the leader strode to the front, first salute respectfully, and then said slowly: "The Huye is the deputy commander of the Royal Guards, Gordon. His Majesty the Emperor summoned the first-class warrior of the Tulip Family, and please follow me now."

When Roddy heard this, he immediately exchanged a wink with Nicole, and a thought flashed through both of them at the same time: It's coming so fast!

Nicole's face was still, but said lightly: "Okay! Let my brother go in and change his clothes first, and then follow you to meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Deputy Commander Geden did not dare to object, but just nodded and whispered: "Yes, then we'll wait here."

Nicole took Roddy into the mansion, drove the servant straight to help Roddy change clothes. The uniforms of the imperial cadet he had originally changed. Because Seth himself had not yet received the inheritance of the title, he did not have the uniforms of His Majesty the Emperor, and could only change into a special samurai uniform made by the nobles. However, the decoration was a lot of attention, and the most conspicuous one was the family badge on his chest.

Nicole looked bad and asked in a low voice: "How are you in good health now? If not, I can ask them to go back first and say that you were injured in the fight with the people from the Oyue Kingdom and cannot go for the time being. In this case, His Majesty the Emperor cannot force you to go immediately."

Roddy shook her head and said seriously: "No, Nicole. I was just taken back by you, and the Guards were waiting at home, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor is very familiar with the situation. Maybe he knows whether I was injured or not. Besides, the Geunton had seen me just now, and the reason for the injury could not be hidden."

Nicole sighed, couldn't help but look at Roddy, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite clear-headed. It's just so fast... we haven't figured out a way to deal with it."

Roddy nodded: "There is no time, I'll try to adapt to it. Nicole...I'm just worried, will the emperor see that my identity is fake?"

Nicole turned her head and thought about it carefully for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be. His Majesty the Emperor has never seen Sate much. There shouldn't be any problem. As for etiquette, I have taught you all. There will be no big loopholes. I just worry a little..."

"What?"

Nicole sighed: "I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor has a very hatred for my brother."

"Why?" Roddy frowned.

Nicole's face showed a strange expression: "Because of Qiao Qiao!" Before Roddy could speak, Nicole continued to explain: "I didn't know the relationship between my brother and Qiao Qiao, but I think this kind of thing can't be hidden from the Emperor... Do you know? The Emperor has always liked Qiao Qiao very much. Qiao Qiao has been in the imperial capital for so long. Although she is the queen's sister, the Emperor has never given her the title of princess. I'm afraid it's because she has always had any thoughts about Qiao Qiao..."

Roddy smiled bitterly and said, "Then if the emperor knows about Seit and Jojo's relationship, wouldn't he hate me to death?"

Nicole shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This is also a problem I have always been worried about. But I think that the Emperor will not say this kind of wind and rhyme, so I will not say it publicly. The most important thing today is to solve the battle with the envoys of the Great Moon Kingdom... In short, no matter what punishment your Majesty has, you should bear it a little."

Roddy smiled coldly: "Otherwise, what else can I do? I will put the blame on Bayan? He is the emperor's nephew!"

Nicole sighed and said nothing, but just focused on helping Roddy put on her clothes. Roddy didn't say anything anymore, because he knew that nothing was useful at this time, so he could only take one step at a time.

Before leaving, Roddy thought for a while and ordered his servant to go to his room to take the "light-scattering sword" hanging on the wall and bring it with him. Although he didn't know how to use that sword, he always felt a little calmer in his heart. Although he could move his body at this moment, the fight just now had exhausted all his energy, especially the last sword, which almost made him exhausted. Although he was a little better now, he might not be able to fight with someone in a short time. He also brought a sword to strengthen his courage.

Nicole sent Roddy out of the gate and got into the carriage. According to her wishes, she originally wanted to go with Roddy, but Commander Gordon refused her request.

"Your Majesty the Emperor said that you should see Master Seit alone. Miss Nicole, you should stay at home." Ge Dun said lightly. Seeing a look of fear on Nicole's face, Ge Dun felt soft and walked into Nicole two steps, and whispered softly: "Don't worry, Miss Nicole, when His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to come, he already knew what happened today, but it seemed that His Majesty was in a good mood and didn't seem to be too angry. I think there would be nothing wrong with Master Seit."

Nicole was stunned for a moment and looked at Ge Dun in surprise. She couldn't think of why Ge Dun was so directed at him.

Ge Dun looked solemn, nodded secretly to Nicole, and lowered his voice: "I turned out to be from the Central Cavalry Regiment. In short, he was also a subordinate of the old Duke."

Nicole felt a little calmer, but his words remained unchanged at this moment, and he just nodded gratefully to him.

Roddy got on the carriage. At Geudon's order, more than 20 knights rolled over their horses, and the carriage they were guarding slowly drove towards the palace...
