I really can't control myself

If you come to find someone now, there is indeed a high chance that something will happen. Linton and Princess Yalan tidied up a little and soon arrived at the palace.

At this time, there were still a lot of ministers surrounding the entrance of the palace. Everyone already knew the news, and now they were all anxious to know the situation of the crown prince. After all, if the empire lost its heir, the impact would be too great. However, it was obvious that everyone was stopped at the door, but Linton and the others entered the palace easily, and no one dared to stop the imperial princess from driving.

In the back hall, Linton and Yalan saw the somewhat decadent Emperor Wigley. His eyes were obviously bloodshot. He must have been awake all night, and his mental state was also a little depressed. It seemed that something happened to his only son. He The mental shock he received was also very severe, and he looked like a deflated balloon.

Seeing her father like this, Princess Yalan here felt a little distressed, but it was not Wigley's situation that needed more attention now. Seeing Wigley appear here during the trial, Princess Yalan also made some guesses. The location where the three of them are now is the emperor's study, not Damion's ward before. If there is no surprise, Wigley should be there now. Wouldn't leave there, and now...

"Father, my brother's situation..."

"Well..." Wigley nodded slightly. Such a simple action seemed to have consumed all his energy, "Just now..."

As expected, Damian died of his injuries. This was not unexpected. After all, Linton had seen his injuries. It would be a shame if he could be rescued like this. Pope Saint Reno had already sentenced him to death. But Linton didn't expect that the other party would die so quickly, and he would stop eating in just one night.

Princess Yalan showed a somewhat sad expression, but did not shed any tears. The relationship between the two was neither good nor bad, more like strangers. Yes, the number of times the two met was pitiful. Although they were a family, they were not as close as Princess Yalan's maid.

Obviously, the news of Damian's death has not spread yet. The group of ministers still surrounding them can explain the situation. At this time, Wigley must have something to do when he calls Princess Arran and Linton.

"My condolences, Emperor." Of course Linton didn't feel anything. This brother-in-law was still thinking about ruining his wedding yesterday. He really deserved it, but no matter how rubbish Damian was, he was still Wigley's biological son. Linton Dun could feel Wigley's grief, "Regarding this matter, is there any result from His Majesty's investigation?"

It's hard to say whether this incident was an accident or not. Although Linton felt that there was a high probability that it was a conspiracy, he had no evidence and was too lazy to investigate. Anyway, Wigley would definitely get to the bottom of it. Sure enough, after hearing Linton's words, Wigley nodded: "This incident is not a simple accident. It was arranged secretly by someone, but there is no evidence as to who exactly it is."

"But there is already speculation?" Linton asked. It is definitely very difficult to find evidence for the assassination of the prince. The other party is not a fool, so the arrangement must be foolproof. It is estimated that most of the people involved in this matter have been silenced. Even if they want to investigate, it will take a long time. It is impossible for Wigley to investigate anything in one night.

"Hmm..." Wigley nodded again, "After much thought, there are only two possible people who can do this. One is your Meloway family, and the other is Duke Noble."

"Father..." Princess Yalan here wanted to explain, but before she could speak, Wigley stopped her.

"Linton Meloway, let me ask you, was my son killed by your family?" Wigley looked at Linton with a serious expression on his tired face and asked seriously.

"I know why you doubt us. After all, our family did have conflicts with your son, and he is now the beneficiary." Linton said, "But in fact, you should have made some guesses yourself, otherwise you wouldn't have made any assumptions. We called. Let me tell you a very simple truth. Judging from the current investigation, this assassination was very well prepared, right? Someone must have arranged for the prince to appear there. Then if it was me who did it , do I still need to assassinate him?"

"Huh?" Wigley was stunned for a moment.

"You know, yesterday the prince was planning to rush into my wedding. As a great saint, my wedding was interrupted. Even if the other person was a prince, I beheaded him on the spot. What can you say? Ask me to settle the score. ?" Linton spread his hands and said, "Do you understand? If it was our family who did it, there would be no need for assassination at all. As long as he encouraged the prince to crash my wedding, I would have a formal reason to hack him to death. Small tricks would actually affect me. Because of this, do you still think that someone from our family did this?"

Linton's words were reasonable and well-founded. Yes, Wigley was not very suspicious of Linton originally. Now that there are two suspects, he is naturally more suspicious of Duke Norbury, who has always had a very bad relationship with him. Linton After all, he is also his savior. He originally believed in this side. Of course, he believed it, so he still had to ask. However, Linton's words dispelled his doubts, and he indeed felt that there was nothing wrong with what Linton said.

"So... it was Duke Norbury who did it..." Wigley nodded, and Linton noticed that his hand was pinching the corner of the table next to him. Although his expression was not obvious, he could still feel him. of anger.

If the emperor could also help deal with the Duke of Norbury, things would be more convenient. Linton thought for a while and asked, "Does your Majesty have any ideas about the new heir?"

"The new heir?" Wigley said, looking at Princess Yalan next to him, and sighed, "It doesn't matter, whether it's Fulla or Yalan, whoever wants to sit on this throne can take it. I tired."

"Father..." Yalan looked at Wigley in surprise, not expecting him to say such words.

"In the fourteen years since I took the throne, I have been walking on thin ice. As the emperor of the empire, I want to let my subjects live a prosperous life. I really want to do something for them. However, in these fourteen years, , what I am doing is constantly fighting for power and intrigue with the ministers below." Wigley said, "However, after so many years, what have I gained? My wife's betrayal, and now my children have also died because of the struggle. Now I feel that it would have been better if the person who succeeded me was not me but Leon."

Linton felt that Wigley's words should be sincere. It seems that the continuous blows these days have made Wigley a little discouraged. It seems that Wigley really wants to be a good emperor, but unfortunately his ability is limited and he does not have enough pressure. The powerful ministers below Constantly causing trouble, even the queen betrayed him, and now his only son is dead. Such a blow is enough to crush a person, even if he is the emperor.

It was also the first time for Yalan to see Wigley like this. She even felt a little pitiful about him, but she wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to speak. Just as he was about to try to speak, he was stopped by Linton next to him. Linton knew that what Wigley needed now was not sympathy, especially the sympathy of his daughter.

That's all Wigley said, and he quickly asked Linton and Yalan to leave. Walking out of the back hall of the palace, Princess Yalan here was a little enlightened. She felt that she didn't understand her father too well. Her father seemed not to be doing well in recent years, and there were many things that she didn't know. Although she did complain that her father had given her too little care over the years, thinking about it now, it was Wigley who shielded her from a lot of wind and rain, so that she could grow up steadily.

"In short, it can be regarded as getting the emperor's approval." Linton said suddenly next to him.

"Huh?" Princess Yalan was stunned for a moment.

"The emperor said he didn't care, just to let us deal with Duke Norbury." Linton said, "My meaning is already very obvious, and your father also understands it. He probably can't wait for the investigation and the like. New grudges and old grudges. Damn it, let’s deal with this Duke of Norbury first.”

"Is this what your father means?" Princess Yalan asked.

"Of course, the emperor is quite astute in other aspects, at least in terms of politics. He must also understand the current situation. One of our Merrow family and the Noble family must be in power, and he feels that he can't suppress it. , we are not in the mood to continue, so we just let us do what we want. Compared to the Duke of Norbury, at least our family has a good relationship with them, and they are already supporting us regardless of what they mean." Linton said.

"Really?" Princess Yalan nodded.

"If you really want to do something for your father, then let him retire early." Linton said, "Don't you really think about becoming the queen?"

"I really haven't thought about this..." Princess Yalan said, "This happened too fast, and my mind is still a little confused. And I don't think I am a qualified candidate."

"Don't you have my help? If you really want to be the leader, you can at least do a little better than your father. If nothing else, there should be no problem in unifying the entire human empire." Linton said, "It will be achieved during your term of office. If you do this, it will bring glory to your family."

"Do you know how to govern the country?" Princess Yalan asked.

"No, but I am very good at fighting." Linton said.

"I... suddenly felt unreliable." Princess Yalan suddenly became alert.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. Let's solve the problem of Duke Nobley first. Who will be the emperor in the future? Your father will continue to be re-elected. It will be your sister or you. We are all a family anyway. Let's sit down. Come down and have a meeting to sort it out," Linton said.
