Roddy slowly raised her head and felt the sharp gaze of the other person. For some reason, the gaze pierced on her face as if it was physical. Roddy could even feel a feeling of hair standing upside down.

"Set, come here!"

Roddy let out a light breath, slowly stood up, and walked in a few steps.

The person in front of him was the emperor of the empire, Abbas XI! Roddy frowned: Why doesn't he look very energetic?

In Roddy's impression, the emperor of the empire, as a descendant of Emperor Abbas, should be wearing golden armor, burly, with energy and majestic eyes. However, the middle-aged man in front of him, his face was pale and his thin body was hidden under the wide white robe, giving people a feeling of yin energy.

Humph! It seems that being an emperor may not be a very happy thing! Judging from his appearance, there is a "chuan"-shaped wrinkle between his eyebrows. I think he must often frown on weekdays.

Roddy stood ten steps away in front of the emperor, and did not dare to get closer, but still looked like he stood with his hands down.

Abbas XI finally left Roddy's face, as if in the middle, he seemed to sigh softly.

"Set, how long has it been since I met you? Well... it must have been a few years, right? I saw you when your father passed away. At that time, you were still a child." Abbas XI's tone was a little sad.

Roddy closed her mouth and lowered her head and said nothing.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You look much stronger, no worse than your father back then." Abbas XI slowly walked to Roddy, stretched out his hand and patted Roddy's shoulder with all his might, and said slowly: "I know you are uneasy. Someone has reported to me what happened today."

Roddy thought about it and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor with a gesture.

"I know what you want to say. Bayan told me what happened. But I also know that there is too much water in his words, hum. I'm not confused yet, but this incident happened after all, and you beat people. You should know the consequences."

Roddy nodded. When he came, Nicole had already instructed him to try not to talk too much, and to say more mistakes.

Abbas XI looked at Roddy with a playful look, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowly said, "Why don't you speak? I heard that your personality is not like this, right? You are famously bold."

Roddy took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, looked straight into the emperor's gaze, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to say. Your Majesty summoned me, so naturally he had made a decision."

A surprised gaze flashed in Abbas XI's eyes, then he frowned slightly, seemed to ponder for a moment, and slowly said: "You should know the war between the Empire and the Great Moon Kingdom?"

Roddy thought about it. Although the war had been concealed, it could not be concealed in the upper class, otherwise Nicole would not have known it. His Majesty the Emperor asked him this way, obviously he believed that he knew the situation. In this case, it would be useless to pretend to be stupid, so he nodded openly.

"Very good." Abbas XI nodded: "You are still smart and know that you can't lie to me." His tone was a bit stern. Then the Supreme Commander of the Empire changed his tone and said slowly: "So, as the heir to the Tulip Family and the flag of the imperial army, what do you think?"

Roddy thought for a while and said loudly: "The Tulip Family is willing to gallop for the Empire and defend the dignity of the Empire to the death!"

This was also what Nicole taught him before. Anyway, no matter what, His Majesty the Emperor will not be surprised when he said this kind of thing.

Sure enough, a satisfied smile appeared on Abbas XI's pale face and said lightly: "It's a pity that you are still young and have not inherited your title. Otherwise, I really hope you can serve me - I also hope that the undefeated history of the Tulip Family can continue in you! The Kingdom of Great Moon! Humph! Just a group of barbaric aliens who are not enlightened!" Speaking of the last two sentences, His Majesty's tone clearly showed a bit of hatred.

Roddy sneered in his heart: Barbarians? A group of barbarians beat the commander of the Northwest Legion you appointed himself to throw away your armor?

Of course, Roddy would never say that kind of thing, but just swallowed his anger and whispered: "Your Majesty's reputation!" It was just a whisper in his heart, but it was unknown to outsiders.

Abbas XI sighed, as if he also realized that his emotions were beyond his control. He lowered his voice and said, "It's just that the empire has just been defeated and the morale of the army is floating. I asked you to come because I want you to do something for me!"

Roddy immediately remembered Nicole's instructions, hurriedly made an infinite loyal look, knelt on one knee, looking up at His Majesty with a keen gaze forty-five degrees - cursing in his heart: I am really holding my breath as the heir of the first family of the dizzy empire.

Abbas XI stared at Roddy, as if quite satisfied with his actions, and said slowly: "I decided to advance your inheritance ceremony! You and I will personally preside over your inheritance ceremony in three days! If you can pass the imperial assessment, I will officially announce that you will inherit the title of the Tulip Family! Become the new Duke of Rudolph! Then, I will have a more important mission to you!"

Roddy didn't say anything, but just looked at the emperor with a solemn look. He knew that he had said this and he could never have a look of surprise on his face.

Sure enough, Abbas XI saw that Roddy's face was as calm as usual, nodded, and then announced loudly: "If you succeed in inheriting the title, I will appoint you as the Northwest Military Inspection Envoy. I order you to go to the Northwest War Zone immediately to assist General Ruben of the Northwest Legion in preside over the military affairs there!"

"Ah?" Even though Roddy tried hard to maintain his calmness, he still couldn't hold back when he heard this.

Is he going to the front line? The Northwest Inspection Special Envoy? That is the emperor's imperial envoy? Although Roddy has never been an official, he has experienced the orthodox education of the Imperial Academy and knows the meaning of this special envoy!

At special moments, he is the full person in charge of Northwest Military Affairs! At critical moments, he can even undermine the original first commander of the Northwest Legion!

Abbas XI sighed.

"I know, you are too young now, and you should not be allowed to bear such a burden immediately, but now is the empire's empire's empire's war god and the flag of the empire's army, you should understand that now is the moment when the empire needs you the most!" The majestic gaze gradually became softer, and the emperor also lowered his voice: "However, I can also tell you that I asked you to go to the northwest. I don't really hope you can change the situation immediately. After all, you are still young and cannot have too much experience. What I need is a flag! When the empire's defeat, the morale of the army is floating, and I need the flag of your Tulip Family to stabilize the morale of the army! Sate! I don't need you to do too much, as long as you go to the front line! As long as the soldiers know that the flag of the Tulip Family is erected, the current morale of the floating will stabilize! Do you understand my intention?"

"I understand." Roddy breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of going to the front line to fight. As a warrior, he had long planned to enter the army and become a professional soldier. But when he was young, he was entrusted with such an important task, and he was still unhappy in his heart. However, the emperor said this very clearly and did not want him to really command military affairs. To put it bluntly, he wanted to be a clay Buddha. Just pretend to be a good example and show the soldiers of the army. After all, the myth of the undefeated military god of the Tulip family is a good way to stabilize the morale of the army at present.

Looking at the nervous expression on Roddy's face, Abbas XI smiled slightly and said lightly: "I believe that the Tulip Family will definitely not disappoint me, so I hope you can live up to my responsibility!"

Roddy took a deep breath, slowly knelt down on one knee, and said seriously: "Yes."

Since he had finished everything he should say, the emperor nodded and signaled that Roddy could leave. Roddy slowly stood up, gave a serious salute, and turned around and strode away.

When he walked to the gate, the emperor suddenly said softly.

"Set! I heard that you have been very close to Jojo recently...I hope you don't get distracted by other things at this time!"

Roddy stiffened and sneered secretly, but turned slowly and said seriously: "I understand."

Humph, I don’t have that interest now when competing with the emperor for women!

After leaving the hall, Roddy first found Gordon and asked for his own light-sword, and then got on the carriage without saying a word.

When he returned home, Nicole was quite surprised to see Roddy coming back so soon. After Roddy said the emperor's words, Nicole showed a solemn expression on her face.

"Your Majesty the Emperor didn't blame you?"

Roddy sighed: "I also find it strange. He just mentioned it lightly and then changed the subject."

The contemplation on Nicole's face became even more serious. After a while, she whispered: "So, are you sure about the assessment three days later?"

Roddy nodded: "It should be no problem."

"But...but...but the situation in the northwest is tense now, and Your Majesty wants you to go to the front line..." Nicole showed a sad expression on her face.

Roddy felt a little hot, and she couldn't help but hold Nicole's hand before leaving: "Nicole, are you worried about me?"

Nicole blushed, she pulled her hand back alertly, took a step back, and looked to the side. Fortunately, there were no other servants around her at this moment. The two of them had already sent everyone around them away for the sake of conversation.

When Roddy saw Nicole dodging, he felt sad and smiled bitterly, "Nicole, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Roddy was unhappy, Nicole thought that he would go to the front line in a few days, a tenderness surged in his heart, his eyes turned red, and he said softly: "Roddy, please don't force me, okay? Now, our identities are different now..."

Roddy showed a self-deprecating expression, just sighed, looked at Nicole deeply, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Nicole showed an anxious expression on her face. She didn't care much in a hurry. She ran to Roddy a few steps, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said hurriedly: "Roddy! Don't get me wrong, I...I mean... Now you are playing my younger brother... Wait... After this matter is over, I will arrange for you to enter the army... As long as you work hard... in the future... I will... wait for you!" The last few words were inaudible. Fortunately, Roddy is a warrior with clever ears and eyes. If he lacks some cultivation, he may not be able to hear it.

Roddy was surprised and glared at Nicole, with ecstasy on her face: "Really? Nicole, are you saying...seriously? Really?"

Nicole's face flushed and she lowered her hands and said, "You...what do you want me? You have been rude to me twice... do you think I am..." When he said the last few words, his expression almost burst into tears.

Roddy felt very tender, and in ecstasy, he grabbed Nicole's hand, and this time he said nothing, but said in a daze: "Then... don't you... dislike my identity? I'm just a civilian... you... you..."

Nicole showed an unhappy expression on her face and said angrily: "Who do you think is the person from my Tulip family? How can I, Nicole, be that kind..."

Roddy felt that his heart was full of flowers, and his depression for many days was immediately wiped out. He threw all the emperor's orders and title assessments behind him, and he didn't care about anything about going to the front line. Not to mention letting him go to the front line, even if he was asked to fight with the barbarians of the alien race at this moment, he wouldn't frown!

"Nicole! Don't worry! I will definitely work hard! I will definitely do something and will never insult your reputation as the Tulip family!" Roddy's face flushed with excitement and shouted loudly.

"Shut up!" Nicole's face was flushed, but she stomped her feet anxiously, wishing to cover Roddy's mouth with her hands: "Shut up! What's this place? Don't shout loudly!"

Roddy shut up, but excitedly reached out to hug Nicole. Nicole blushed, dodged away, and hurriedly opened the door and ran out.

Roddy stared at Nicole flashing out of the door in a daze, feeling that all the suffering she suffered over the past few days was worth it. She was so excited that she wanted to yell three times.

"What a fool!" A sarcastic voice suddenly came from my mind.

"Andy! Shut up!" Roddy was happy and was not in the mood to argue with Andy.
