Chapter 233 Identity Issues

As the third prince of the empire, Terenas attaches great importance to this meeting with Herot and Melis.

Although the emperor's attitude towards the Claude family is not yet clear, the current empire needs the Claude family to do something. This surname was nothing when the empire was stable, but when the empire was in turmoil, especially when the upper aristocracy was disengaged, the banner of Claulund was very influential.

And the Snow Princess Maelubelli.

In the extremely harsh environment of Northern Xinjiang, and facing the vendetta-like cold demon, every member of the Ice and Snow family is a powerful warrior. Maelubelli is the leader of this generation, possessing extraordinary level three strength at the age of only twenty.

If it weren't for her bloodline being damaged in the battle, she would have been able to reach the fourth level of extraordinary genius.

It's a pity that her last name is Erwin, otherwise my father would definitely try his best to get a certain prince to marry her... maybe it would be me.

Terenas had a premonition that the Claude family, which had been hiding from the world for hundreds of years, and the Erwin family, which was hiding in the remote northern frontier, would definitely play an increasingly important role in the core of the empire.

The affairs of the thirteen alliance families will ultimately be resolved by the thirteen families themselves.

The battle for the royal succession also became official as the brothers entered the political situation and became rivals.

Father, is this your strategy?

The more we fight outside and the more we rely on you, the more stable your throne will be!

The three of them ate their own food, and the Imperial Military Police who searched Secombe's house kept coming in to report various findings.

Although the deep prison was "cleaned" after the death of Earl Secombe, there were still many subtle clues discovered by professional Imperial Military Police. After further interrogation of the servants, more evidence showed that there was something strange about Earl Lucycome's body. There are also a lot of people who were dismissed during this period. As long as there is no trace of these people, it will be enough to provide weighty circumstantial evidence.

These trivial pieces of evidence cannot be used as direct evidence that Earl Secombe colluded with the prison.

Terenas said with some regret: "It's a pity that the housekeeper was taken away by Count Garr."

Herot finished his portion of food and picked up the napkin at hand to wipe the oil stains on his mouth: "Ophelia is definitely an important person, and the Rust Nobles will not give her to us under any circumstances. They can Retreating is already the biggest concession, and we can't press too hard. If we really want to fall out, it will be impossible to end."

Terenas also looked helpless.

Although the imperial power is supreme, it is not really supreme. The Bradley family won the Blood Rebellion with the support of these nobles. Naturally, these nobles received many privileges and benefits because of their contributions.

The aristocracy has always controlled important government departments and Congress. Although there are no more dukes who dare to beat the emperor, the emperor still has to look at the faces of some big nobles.

The Rusty Nobles are one of the typical examples. Being able to equip such an excellent heavy knights in such a short period of time shows how much hidden strength these nobles have.

Aristocratic organizations similar to the Imperial Heavy Industry Council became a new type of "decentralized autonomy."

Since Emperor Bradley came to power and implemented the New Deal, it has been a secret that everyone knows but does not tell, to support emerging businessmen to suppress the old aristocratic forces to achieve a greater degree of centralization.

Therefore, things like falling out need to be avoided prematurely.

Although the Rust Nobles can jump high, they definitely don't want to be the first sheep to be slaughtered; the royal family does not dare to risk a full-scale civil war to attack the Rust Nobles when the enemy and we are not clear.

To start, you must have enough evidence!

Let those nobles who don't know the situation know that it is the rust nobles who deserve to die, instead of letting them feel that the royal family framed loyal nobles for their own interests.

In short, whoever cuts this already tightened string will most likely die first.

"I will cooperate with you on what your 13th Investigation Team will do next."

Helot wiped his hands at the end and stood up: "Your Highness, please take the Imperial Military Police Headquarters into your hands first. When we really need your support in the future, it may not be like today. We need you to have the confidence to really take action. .

goodbye! Thank you for the late night snack. "

Helot walked out of the room, and Melis stood up and left.

Terenas said to a valet behind him: "Tell everyone not to reveal that Herot is the head of the Claurend family."

The attendant replied: "Your Highness, our people will definitely not tell nonsense, but the people of the Rusty Nobles may leak it."

"That's not my business. I'm going into the palace now to meet with my father. You continue to search... you must find the evidence I want."

The attendant lowered his head and responded: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we will definitely find it."

As for how to find it, Terenas doesn't need to worry about it. He needs to enter the palace immediately and inform his father about what happened here.

Since you have taken over such a sensitive department as the Imperial Military Police Headquarters, reporting every detail is also a means of self-protection.

Helot and Melis left Secome's house and got into a car driven by cavalry.

Melis said to Helot who was sitting next to her: "Tomorrow, most of the high-ranking nobles and officials in Covenant City will know the news of Claude's return to Covenant City, and your identity will be exposed."

Helot looked at the night view of the city outside and replied: "Sooner or later, my identity will be exposed. I hope it won't have a big impact on my current life."

Melis couldn't help but smile and said: "Are you still going to continue working at Tomorrow Group? If they know that they hired the patriarch of the Claulund family as an apprentice engineer, they probably won't be able to sleep at night. Irina will ask you to go to her office the next day."

Hailot turned to look at Melis: "Nothing can change my dream of becoming an excellent mechanical engineer. If there is... let this matter disappear."

Melis also looked at Hailuot: "It seems that you really like that job."

"I like it very much! Studying machinery is more interesting than studying human hearts."

"Can you talk to me about mechanics? And biology... We watchers are very resistant to these post-sequence things. I didn't have much contact with them before, but in the future, I will definitely fight with more and more post-sequences. I need to know more about them."

"Of course. Let me explain the principle of the steam engine to you first. This is the basis of energy mechanics..."

When it comes to mechanics, Hailuot changed his melancholy after leaving the Xicom family. Compared with the tiring imperial power struggle, he really likes this kind of technology that explores unknown areas.

But since leaving campus, the time to devote himself to academics has become less and less.

The next day, the 13th Investigation Team began to prepare to attack the Steam Engine Research Studio.

The Iron Cavalry got the important blueprint from the Sicom family, and the underground structure of the entire Steam Engine Research Studio was completely presented to the investigation team.

Although the search of the Sicom family made a lot of noise, it had no real significance, and it ended up being a verbal battle with the Rust nobles.

But if this place where mechanical corpses were studied and produced could be captured, it would be a big blow to the Rust nobles. As long as there is real evidence to prove that the Rust nobles cooperated with the Deep Hell, the lack of morality alone would isolate them from the values ​​of the Empire's nobles.

Perhaps the Rust nobles also had an irreparable split because of mutual suspicion.

Another important thing is to send Kram out of the Empire as soon as possible.

In order to keep it secret, Helot sent Starry Sky to find the Gray Light Society, and the Mummy Ancient Wood responded soon.

He sent the black cat.
