I will be crowned king

Sitting in the carriage returning to St. Isaac's College, Bloen, who looked calm as usual, took out a bottle of wine and a glass from the drawer of the carriage, and poured a full glass for Professor Mace Honnard.

As the closest "student" to the professor, Bloen knew very well how obsessed he was with this purple-red alcoholic drink... Just like he knew why the professor was obviously disgusted with coffee, but he could still treat the big people in the royal capital. Know all the big and small cafes.

The answer is simple: in Clovis, a city full of cafes, this "little hobby" is a very good disguise, enough to explain the professor's reasons for appearing in any city district or street.

A history professor who loves coffee and frequents every corner of the capital in order to taste different flavors will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Just as he gently placed the wine glass on the table and carefully pushed it to where the professor could reach it, the hand that was flipping through the pages suddenly lifted up and placed a parchment scroll tied with a ribbon on the table. in front of him.

"T-Professor?!"

The moment his eyes fell on the scroll, Bloen's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Your compensation."

Mace Honnard, who didn't even raise his head, was still flipping through the book "The Life of Isaac Rand". A low and emotionless voice sounded in the carriage: "Have you forgotten, I'm in a cafe?" I promised you before."

"But……"

"Don't think too much, this is just compensation for your hard work." Mace Honard snorted: "As my student, you shouldn't pay attention to such trivial matters."

Bronn's body trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath silently to calm down from the shock.

"According to your order, I conducted a series of investigations against Anson Bach."

Putting away the scroll, Broun, who was sitting upright, said calmly: "It's the same as what he admitted before. He was targeted by the Guards because of the Iron Sky incident, and was suspected of having had a relationship with Draco Vertes; now he There were at least two people and no more than ten people watching outside the apartment on Boleman Street."

"In general, there is currently no evidence that he lied or concealed anything..."

"but?"

Mace Honnard flipped through the pages gently.

"When I was investigating his whereabouts, I discovered some strange things." Blown said solemnly: "A little girl named 'Lisa'."

"She first appeared on the train of the Iron Sky, and then arrived in the royal capital with Anson Bach. She is now living with him in the apartment on Boleman Street as his sister."

"But as far as I know, Anson has only one brother who is still in the country among his immediate relatives in this generation, and there is no so-called sister; and the time when she appeared was completely wrong. The Iron Sky on that flight was from The train departs from Oak Town and goes directly to the Royal Capital."

Broen paused, his ice blue eyes showing a light of thought: "Consider that Anson Bach was alone when he left the military camp... In other words, this so-called 'sister' and the one wanted by the Guards Draco Wirts appeared next to Anson Bach at the same time!"

"So..." Mace Honard stopped flipping through the book:

"You think there's a connection?"

"At least there are doubts." Bloun nodded vigorously: "I don't think Anson Bach only met Draco Wirts once, as he said."

"Maybe he really doesn't know this person's real plan, maybe he is being used by this person, maybe the two people have some agreement... No matter what it is, it is impossible for him to be completely ignorant of Draco Vertes Known.”

"And the little girl he regards as his sister may be the key to it!"

"Snapped!"

Mace Honnard gently closed the book and placed his right hand on the cover engraved with gilt characters.

It wasn't until this moment that his face finally showed a somewhat solemn expression. He raised his eyes and silently stared into Blown's eyes: "How sure are you?"

The young bachelor's throat twitched and he tried his best to suppress his trembling body: "At the moment...it's hard to say."

"So far, our intelligence network still hasn't found any information about Draco Vertes, not even any clues. It's like it has evaporated."

"Even including all the people who have come into contact with him, no one knows his whereabouts. I suspect that the forces behind him are deliberately avoiding him from being investigated. If you think about it from this perspective, the Guards will take the risk of Anson. It’s not something difficult to understand if Bach takes action..."

"I'm not asking that." Mace Hornard said softly.

Bronn's face was startled as his thoughts were interrupted, and his ice-blue eyes were a little dazed.

"What I'm asking is, how sure are you about Anson Bach?" Mace Honnard stared into his eyes, and his voice became a little playful:

"You have met with him several times and conducted a detailed investigation into him; tell me, based on your judgment, should I continue to trust him?"

"I, I... this..." Bronn, who was suddenly panicked, stammered: "He was personally selected by you, Professor, and he made outstanding contributions in the Battle of Thunder Castle. I feel that I am not qualified. …”

"Yes... but he is now very close to the Church of Order, and he seems to be suspected of hiding the truth recently." Mace Honard said leisurely:

"The most important thing is that the next person he will face directly is the Archbishop of the Church of Order, Luther Franz...Dear Broun, do you think he really won't be exposed?"

"Professor, what do you mean..."

"We have to be prepared on both sides." Mace Hornard said coldly:

"Although I am happy to believe in my students, I have to admit the strength of the Church of Order - this is a risky move. We must ensure that once Anson Bach is exposed or betrays his identity, we can respond in time and stop the loss."

"You have done a good job in the past two days, trying to maintain the friendship with Anson Bach; the situation in the Royal Capital is very delicate recently, and I may not be able to keep in touch with him often."

"The Guards are on the verge of being disbanded, there are riots in the inner city, the sudden intervention of the church...and now there's this guy named Draco Wirts suddenly showing up."

"I suspect... we are probably not the only ones planning to use this war between the Empire and the Kingdom of Clovis to change the situation."

"Then...who else will it be?" Blown asked subconsciously.

"Everyone."

"Everyone?!"

"All... people who are dissatisfied with the current situation." Mace Honnard said softly with a solemn face: "The royal family, nobles, trade unions, privy council, and the army... are longing for yesterday's glory, or looking forward to a chaotic Careers..."

"They will all jump out one by one!"
