Because he went against the will of his family and married a "useless" woman, Ernest was ridiculed by his grandfather almost every time.

The anger in my heart has been suppressed for a long time and has gradually transformed into something more terrifying.

But on the surface, he still looked calm and didn't care.

Archduke Dempsey glanced at Ernest and became angry when he saw his expression.

'He is such an unmotivated guy. He is a disgrace to the family. What a pity for such a talented person.'

When he was a child, Ernest was a famous super genius in the Principality of Fuchs.

But all this came to an abrupt end at the beginning of his love.

After giving Ernest a fierce look, Archduke Dempsey focused his attention on Foglier.

"How's Karina feeling?"

"She...she was a little sad...but she didn't blame me..." Foglier replied weakly.

"Did she tell Science and Technology City about this?"

"No! Karina had been staying at home because she wasn't feeling well. Until recently, she went out for a walk and visited friends."

"Whether she is at home or out, I have someone to protect her," Fuglier immediately added.

"Well..." Grand Duke Dempsey stroked his beard as white as snow, thinking: "Carina is a simple and innocent child, but that is not the case in Science and Technology City."

"Even if she didn't take the initiative to inform Science and Technology City, she must have known about it based on the strength of the Dupont family."

"I'm sorry...Grandpa..."

"If the apology is useful, I can say it a thousand times in a row without rest." Archduke Dempsey looked at Foglier with hatred.

Compared to his younger brother Ernest, Foglier's ability is somewhat lacking, but fortunately he is obedient, which is why Archduke Dempsey made him the mayor of Rhodes City.

Although Rhodes City is not the capital of the Principality of Fuchs, it is the place where the Rhodes family originated.

Significance.

The most important thing is that here is the largest known krypton gold vein in the world.

"Carina's attitude is very important in this matter. As long as she doesn't give up on you, there is room for change." After saying that, Archduke Dempsey stared at Foglier.

"Carina still has very good feelings for me."

"That's good!"

"You said before that you were unable to fight back against messages targeting you on the Internet because you were threatened? How about it? Have you found the person behind it now?"

Foglier shook his head: "The other party's hacking skills are very sophisticated, and I haven't found any useful clues yet."

"Continue to investigate. If you dare to threaten our Rhodes family, you must make the other party pay the price!" When saying this, Grand Duke Dempsey also looked at Ernest.

"I know, Grandpa." Ernest responded calmly.

"Once the real culprit is found, we can bring the other party into the sight of Science and Technology City. In this way, most of the Dupont royal family's dissatisfaction with us due to this incident will be transferred to the real culprit."

"Carina is the aunt who has the closest relationship with Princess Vanessa."

"Next month's mining conference is our most important day every year, and next year Princess Vanessa will officially come of age and ascend to the throne. At this critical time, there can be no more mistakes!"

The reason why Foglier became the "Queen's Faction" was entirely due to the influence of Archduke Dempsey.

But what neither of them knew was that Ernest had secretly become a member of the 'Prince faction'.

Hearing his grandfather say this, Ernest sneered in his heart.

‘Ascending the throne? Prince Otis will never allow this to happen!’

'Both Rhodes and DuPont should make some changes...'

"Until the murderer is caught, in view of your current poor reputation, Ernest will temporarily act as mayor." Archduke Dempsey suddenly said.

As the actual person in charge of the Principality of Fuchs, Grand Duke Demps's words were equivalent to a direct appointment.

No matter how unhappy he was with Ernest, he was one of his own after all.

Also, he is very sure of the abilities of his junior.

The power of Rhodes City cannot be left in the hands of people outside the family.

Foglier remained silent.

Even if he was unwilling to do so, he had no reason to refute at this time.

"I refuse!" What I didn't expect was that Ernest actually refused?!

When Archduke Dempsey heard this, he looked angry: "You want to disobey me?"

Ernest smiled and said: "Grandpa, you know, I have no interest in politics. The reason why I serve as the police chief is just to guard the power of the family."

"Things with the police department are enough to annoy me. If I add the mayor's job to it, I won't have time to take care of it."

Speaking of this, Ernest's expression lit up.

"Oh! By the way! I recently met a good health guru, and she told me to do less and rest more!"

"You!" Archduke Dempsey saw his expression of needing a beating and wished he could just go up and slap him.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. Sooner or later, my dear brother will return to the position of mayor again."

Ernest looked at Foglier at this time, with a smile on his face.

"My noble sister-in-law is now preparing my brother's comeback plan, and I think it's very good. My brother will return, that's for sure!"

Ernest visited Foglier before, and during the conversation between the two, Foglier revealed this matter to his brother. This was actually a hint that Ernest was interested in the position of mayor.

Don't have any extra ideas.

Although he knew that his younger brother seemed to have little interest in power, people would always change.

Foglier was deeply aware of the temptation of power and fell into it, unable to extricate himself.

This series of news was naturally told to him by Foglier's confidant, Leod.

Erin and Karina didn't deliberately hide this from Leod.

"Is he telling the truth?" Archduke Dempsey looked at Foglier.

"Well, it's true. Karina is planning to establish a charity foundation for slums."

"Doing charity? Well, this is a good idea, but you are doing charity now because of the scandal. If you are a thoughtful person, you will naturally understand your purpose." Archduke Dempsey could see the shortcomings at a glance.

Fuglier shook his head: "It was not in my name, it was Karina who did it herself, and she didn't tell me about it. It was the subordinates I sent to protect her who told me."

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Dempsey nodded approvingly: "Well, this will indeed be very beneficial to you."

After giving Ernest an annoyed look, Archduke Dempsey immediately made a new decision.

"Okay, the position of mayor is temporarily vacant, but the powers of the acting mayor will be held by Ernest for now."

"This decision will not be made public!" Archduke Dempsey looked at the two people and said emphatically.
Chapter completed!
