——Excerpt from "The Chronicle of the Semuria Continent"

Ke Luosi put down the political newspaper in her hand, and the big headline on it was specially used in bright red, which was thrilling.

Bloody Ludwika—Democrats Doomed Again! "

She knew that Ludwika was Olivier's half-sister, and she had been the regent of Alfred III since he ascended the throne. Standing on the same front as the prime minister, she began to secretly shrink the scattered rights to her own hands. The aristocratic forces behind her gave her the capital and ability to do so.

Originally, the democrats were a group of people with extremely weak forces within the empire, basically unable to pose any threat, but they neither belonged to the prime minister's military power expansion faction, nor did they belong to the princess' aristocratic power faction. scapegoat.Whether it is the prime minister or the princess, they use these poor people to divert attention in their open and secret struggles.

The state of the empire is in chaos, and civil war is about to break out, but Kolos is not surprised. She is most worried about the situation of her friends. Estier and Joshua are not very worried in the Principality of Remiferia. The others are either in Liberia or the headquarters of the Guerrilla Association in the Leman Autonomous Prefecture. The most worrying ones are Olivier and Mulla who are deeply involved in power disputes within the imperial capital.

Alfred III has not been in charge of political affairs since he took the throne, leaving everything to his energetic sister. Olivier, as the concubine prince, retained the title of prince accordingly.Greenwest is his fief. The place has beautiful scenery and is located in the southern part of the empire, which is very in line with Olivier's aesthetics.

When Koloss thought of this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and then she was shrouded in sadness: It has been three months, since Olivier's last letter was delivered, it has been such a long time, whether it is in the open or in the dark There was no more news, and even the spies she sent out because of her worries couldn't find anything, and she didn't even meet the prince.

"Your Majesty," the spy who knelt in front of her bowed his head, "The residence of His Royal Highness is under strict surveillance, and the guards are very strict. We have never been able to enter."

"Then... Is there no news from General Van der?"

"They are also being monitored, including the forces of Osborne and Princess Ludwika."

"Really?" The queen frowned deeply, and walked slowly a few steps, the surrounding was quiet, only the occasional tapping sound of her heels on the ground could be heard.

Suddenly she said, "Okay, let Yulia come in."

"His Majesty."

"If possible...I want you to go to Greenwest." The melancholy expression on Kolos's face showed her deep worry.

"Greenwest...Your Majesty, something happened to His Royal Highness?" Julia recalled a series of recent newspaper reports on the internal affairs of the empire.

"Hopefully not...but it is clear that he is under house arrest, and it is even possible that Mr. Mulla is being watched along with him..." The queen returned to the window, "I hope Kiku will bring me good news. "

Following her words, a familiar long chirp resounded through the sky, and a snow-white figure appeared in front of Queen Kolotia's window. It stopped on the railing of the window sill, folded its wings, and affectionately pecked at the queen with its beak. hand, with a small coil of silk tied to its paw.

Kolos untied the silk and unfolded it. It was a piece of silk with rough corners, which looked like it was torn from something hastily. There were a few scrawled words on it: "Harken Gate .”

The queen squeezed the silk tightly. If the situation was not extremely critical, why would Olivier tear off the silk in such a hurry to write a letter?She bit her lip, anticipating the worst.

"Yulia... please arrange as soon as possible, I want to go secretly to the gate of Harken."

"Your Majesty!" Yulia was taken aback, "How can you take the risk yourself? Even if His Royal Highness is in a hurry, we can go there!"

"No... I want to go in person." Koloss looked straight at Julia with firm eyes, "He is my friend."
