Chapter 277 This Place Is Great, It's Mine Now
"What is my next crime?"
Sean stood there and looked at everyone.
However, no one dared to speak.
His Royal Highness... the son of Prince Bai Youming?
The bigwigs present couldn't figure it out. Bai Youming obviously had no offspring, so how could he have a son for no reason?
The high priest, the speaker and others knew more inside information. They knew that the prince enjoyed such great power in the empire, on the one hand because of his own strong strength, and on the other hand, because he and His Majesty had an agreement that he would not leave any offspring.
This prince just likes gambling, not a womanizer... Could it be that the blood left by the prince when he was fighting outside came back to recognize his ancestors?
The third prince Bai You's face suddenly changed.
But the appearance of the territory official and the guards of the red angel Zora have confirmed this, and it is impossible to be false.
He originally thought that this was a test by his eldest brother, but he didn't expect...
Why did the uncle let his son do this? What did he want to express?
As a prince with the right of inheritance, Bai You had to think a few more steps.
As if seeing that no one was talking, Sean walked forward a few steps slowly through the crowd, and stopped when he passed by the captain of the Security Bureau, Fox.
"By the way, this police officer——" He smiled and stretched out his hands, "When will you take me back to the police station?"
If the others were still just shocked, Fox was almost out of his mind.
He tried his best to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Highness, you are joking, your subordinate, your subordinate..."
Fox wanted to say something to beg for mercy, but he didn't know whether he should admit his mistake or quibble. A huge fear surrounded his heart, and his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, then his eyes turned white and he fainted.
"As expected of someone who can do this position, his brain is really good." Sean couldn't help laughing out loud.
On the other side, the speaker with the fastest eyes quickly smiled and said: "This matter is very clear. Fox abused his power for personal gain and should be dismissed and tried!"
The fainted Fox twitched on the spot.
Looking at the Speaker with a completely different attitude, Sean showed a puzzled expression: "Aren't you going to punish him? It's better to follow the imperial law, right?"
The Speaker is now just glad that he didn't leave any handles for criticism. Although he offended someone, it was much better than Fox's death. He waved his hand quickly: "Your Highness is joking."
He turned his head and cleared his throat, facing the crowd and said in a serious tone: "After verification, Your Highness is the one who was wronged! High Priest, you know how to deal with this matter!"
The Speaker could have tried to throw the pot to an irrelevant person, but he has been in the parliament for so many years, how could he not have a vision of people?
This Prince, whose name he didn't even know, was definitely not a person who was easy to talk to. At first glance, he was a person who would take revenge for the slightest grievance.
He appeared here and brought the territory official with him...
The Speaker has decided not to get involved in this muddy water. As for the Golden Dawn, it should bleed. I have done my best today.
The high priest's face was livid, and Cardinal Volk's head flew to his feet. There was still confusion in his eyes that had not been closed.
Yu took a few deep breaths in the dark, snorted coldly, and pointed at Volk's headless body: "Hmph, it's fine if you deceived us, but you even wrongly accused the innocent prince. You deserve to die."
He drew a symbol of the God of the Void, facing Sean, with a guilty and heavy expression: "We also have an unshirkable responsibility. It's my fault for not governing strictly. It's really hard to express my apology to the prince."
As expected of the high priest, he immediately pushed the pot cleanly. Anyway, the 'culprit' Volk was dead, and he couldn't find him if he was in trouble.
However, the high priest obviously had never dealt with Sean.
Sean waved his hand with a smile: "The high priest is too serious. I can still distinguish good from bad. The high priest was obviously blinded by this traitor. Before, it was understandable for the Golden Dawn."
After these words came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the prince still knows the importance of things and is not going to make a big news.
Even the high priest was relieved, and even had some thoughts of "the prince is really considerate".
"Everything is done according to the imperial law," Sean changed the subject and smiled brightly, "I came here just to check my new territory. Please help me, high priest."
Hiss... Everyone took a breath.
The noble territory is awarded by His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, the territory officials will also record the territories that can be awarded.
It is naturally impossible for noble territories to exist within the imperial capital, but it is not the case outside the imperial capital.
The Gate of Dawn is located right on the outskirts of the city. According to the rules, half of it is indeed within the territory that can be rewarded...
But this is the Golden Dawn, the only sect recognized by the Empire. If His Majesty the Emperor does not ask, no noble would be so ignorant as to ask for this territory - in the unspoken rules, people have already regarded this place as the territory of the Golden Dawn.
No wonder the Crown Prince came here, he came for the Golden Dawn's hometown? !
Audacious!
But the deeper meaning of it cannot be ignored by others - is this what the Crown Prince meant? Not necessarily...
Is the Prince Bai Youming preparing to take action against the Golden Dawn?
Everyone had such thoughts.
The high priest's originally relaxed expression suddenly froze, and after a while he spoke: "Your Highness, this matter is indeed the responsibility of our Golden Dawn. Afterwards, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
The implication is nothing more than that we admit defeat, and we will compensate you later, and forget about the territory.
So, he has never dealt with Sean.
Sean has never been a smooth person. In order to achieve his goals or when the situation forces him, he does not mind lowering his posture, but he prefers not to leave a way out.
The main thing is not to leave a way out for others.
Sean directly ignored the high priest and looked at the territory official who had begun to understand the situation.
"This lord, please explain the empire's territory system?"
Everyone's eyes were cast over at once, and the territory official's forehead was sweating - no wonder the leader asked me, who has no real power, to come here...
The high priest, the speaker, the military generals, the third prince, the high prince...so many big figures staring at him, he felt his legs weak.
Subconsciously glancing at the high priest, and then at His Royal Highness, who was smiling calmly, he took a deep breath and read out the empire's territory system in a trembling voice.
"... In summary, His Royal Highness has the right granted by the imperial law to acquire a new territory, and this place is within the scope of choice."
He swallowed his saliva, made up his mind, and said loudly:
"According to the imperial law, please, please, please, the temporary residents of this place move out in the near future for the discretion of the territory - Your Royal Highness, you can start to customize the territory emblem."
The territorial official thought it through thoroughly. Instead of shrinking and pleasing both sides, it is better to stand completely on the side of His Royal Highness.
Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.
Moreover, His Royal Highness is obviously going to start building a force. This is not a timely help, but it can be regarded as a few branches in the snow, right?
Sean smiled with satisfaction, and the high priest turned pale.
When the imperial capital was established, I, the Golden Dawn, was here. Now you tell me that we are temporary residents?
Unexpectedly, before the high priest could speak, someone spoke up.
"It should be so..." The speaker was the third prince Bai You.
There was no trace of the previous anger on his face. Even though he was slightly injured, he looked fine at the moment.
Bai You walked to Sean and smiled warmly: "It turned out to be my cousin. It's all my fault that I was immersed in training recently and didn't welcome my cousin back in time. I was too reckless."
He changed his expression faster than Sean imagined.
As expected of a royal child, Bai You is much better than Bai Ye in terms of situation.
Sean smiled and looked over: "Your Highness, are you not going to punish him?"
Bai You showed a blaming expression: "Why do you say these things between family members? It's because I don't know how to judge people and was deceived by the villain - come here!"
He pointed at Fox and said coldly: "You deceived your superiors and subordinates, wronged good people, and almost made me wrongly blame my cousin, you deserve to be killed!"
The Crimson guard who could blend into the wind appeared beside Fox at some point. The latter trembled and was about to wake up and beg for mercy, but how could Crimson give him a chance to speak?
Another head flew high.
The third prince flicked his sleeves: "Deserve to be killed!"
He turned around and sighed at Sean, and said sincerely: "Cousin, I will give you an explanation for this matter. If there are other people who deceived, I will personally send them to your manor for you to deal with after I find out."
This cousin was called very affectionately. People who didn't know the inside story came to see it, and they might really think that the two had a deep brotherly love.
Sean blinked and looked at Bai You's injured part: "But I was beaten by someone, so we should still act according to the imperial law, right?"
Bai You laughed: "I usually only know how to use resources for training. Today, I fought with my cousin's personal guards and realized my shortcomings. I have to thank my cousin for helping me."
Sean was impressed by what he heard. He was worthy of being the third prince. He was beaten in public, but he could still be said to be pointing out his shortcomings. Moreover, the other party's expression was sincere, and even Sean could not see his true thoughts.
Without waiting for Sean to speak, Bai You said to the high priest: "High priest, my cousin's actions are all in accordance with the imperial law. I think we should not make it too troublesome. What do you think?"
At this point, his voice was slightly threatening, as if he would make trouble if the high priest disagreed.
Territory is secondary. Golden Dawn has been rooted in the imperial capital for so many years. It is not a problem to find a new place. Even this huge Gate of Dawn can be moved directly. However, this face...
The high priest glanced at the headquarters behind him without showing any expression. His face changed many times. Finally, he smiled with difficulty: "According to the imperial law, it should be what the members of the empire should do..."
Bai You waved his hand for Sean directly: "Then it's settled."
The high priest smiled reluctantly: "It's just that I have a lot of people and equipment here. It will take some time to move away from here."
He finally gave in. With so many people present, he couldn't fight against the imperial law. Otherwise, being labeled would be a real problem.
The emperor's time is running out, and the fate of unstable elements can be foreseen...
But, we have to delay time... It's best to delay until the emperor dies.
Bai You seemed to see through the other party's thoughts and frowned: "Three months, no more."
He smiled and looked at Sean: "Cousin, what do you think?"
Sean smiled: "Since His Highness has said so... one month, time is something that should be squeezed in."
This statement did not give Bai You face, and Bai You kept calling him cousin, and he still called him His Highness, which showed how distant they were.
But Bai You laughed as if nothing had happened: "My cousin is right, the efficiency of the imperial capital should be mentioned, so let's do it."
The high priest forced a smile: "Then listen to the two highnesses..."
The whole thing ended in a slightly absurd way. Bai You enthusiastically invited Sean to his dinner party as if nothing had happened. Even if Sean refused, he still insisted and made it clear that this was a welcome party for him.
After referring to Shi Hai's opinion, Sean finally agreed.
When the two finally left, looking at the two headless corpses in the square, the high priest sighed heavily.
"Do we really want to?" Back in the room, the exorcist who had been holding back and not speaking finally couldn't help asking.
The high priest pinched his brows: "The Imperial Law is their greatest weapon. Your Majesty is in this situation now. Anyone who dares to openly violate the Imperial Law will have a word of seeking death engraved on his forehead. Lord Karado has something important to do... Try to delay it."
The two sighed, and the high priest frowned and asked: "Did you take the prince to interrogate before? No handle left, right?"
The exorcist shook his head: "It shouldn't be, otherwise according to the character of the prince, I'm afraid he won't let it go. We used the forgetting ritual and the healing ritual, he should not remember, and we can't find out the injury."
"What did you find out?"
"Something about the sacrificial ritual-" At this point, the exorcist's expression became a little more solemn.
He lowered his voice: "The prince seems to have contact with another sect, and he also mentioned something important."
"What?"
"I'll call the interrogator for you."
The person interrogating Sean was called over, and after a secret investigation, the high priest suddenly raised his head.
"What did you say?! Are you right about the effect of that ritual?" He asked in disbelief.
The interrogator nodded quickly: "The prince said it himself, and I have been monitoring him with a brain crusher. He is not lying."
The high priest sat back in his chair, shocked: "No wonder, no wonder he targeted our Golden Dawn... Where is the captured cultist?"
"In the special interrogation room of the military, the prince mentioned that the cultist has two days to live... You know, the military is cruel."
The high priest thought again and again, and finally made a decision: "We must get that ritual... We must get it! Notify Lord Karado!"
