Chapter 237

"Of course I remember, I also gave you an answer at that time."

"Have you changed your mind now?"

Orson heard a hint of threat in Alsace's tone.

If he is willing to join forces with Alsace, Alsace can clear his suspicions, and then the two of them can work together to successfully bring down Elsa, and Alsace can regain power.

By then, Orson will also be able to become a being who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. This condition is not without temptation.

However, Orson just shook his head lightly.

"Sorry, I'm quite a stubborn person. At least, I won't change my mind in such a short period of time."

"Does that mean we don't have to talk?"

"Of course not. We can discuss cooperation in other places, right?"

Orson said this, stood up, and looked level with Alsace.

"You are the royal family and can freely operate many matters. This is your advantage."

"But, His Highness Alsace, please don't forget that you are not the only member of the royal family. What you are doing now has touched my bottom line."

With that said, Orson directly showed his cards.

"In my, Olivia's and Lena's dormitory, you arranged for twelve sentries to watch the entrance and exit day and night."

"Me, Lite, Olivia, Lianka, Chelinina, Lena and Virgil, you have arranged at least three groups of spies around each of them to monitor our actions."

Arthas looked surprised when he heard that Orson accurately reported the personnel who were monitoring him.

"I have tolerated this situation because I know that you are suspicious of us and want to take advantage of us to weaken local power. I understand."

"However, Your Highness, what you have done has seriously interfered with the lives of my friends, my relatives and my lover."

"Guess, after I come in today, will your sentries return to you?"

"Orson!"

Arthas stared at Orson, with a trace of ferocity in his eyes.

But then he calmed down his outburst of emotions and became gentle.

"It's okay, Orson. I apologize to you for this incident. After those sentries are captured, I will have no objection no matter how you deal with them."

Arthas made a rare concession, and those sentries were nothing more than pawns to him.

"However, my conditions remain unchanged. You can join me, or you can choose to refuse. The former allows us to work together to achieve a win-win situation."

"The latter, I will not let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed."

This is already a naked threat.

But Alsace has the confidence.

The strength that Orson showed last time was at the eighth level, and he was also at the eighth level.

In addition, several eighth-level commanders of the Royal Knights, the Imperial Guard and the City Defense Force, as well as Owen from the Public Security Bureau, all have their hearts set on Alsace.

In addition, there are dozens of seventh-level masters who are also loyal to Alsace. They are now on duty at the security station. It is impossible for Orson to escape, and no information will be revealed.

As long as he succeeds in becoming the emperor of the empire in a few days, everything will be easier to control.

Directly fabricating perjury to label Orson as a traitor to the empire, it seemed that he had offended three duchies at once, but as long as he transferred some of his interests and made a verbal promise, the royal domain would still be safe.

After all, even if Orson is the link between the three duchies of Napoli, Antica and Prussia, he is only among the new generation.

Prue

The Dukedom of Western Asia is still under the rule of William, who is an old fox.

The Duke of Antica and the Duke of Naples, which had been half disabled by the war, together would not be a match for the royal family.

And when Orson is eliminated by him, and he keeps a low profile for more than ten years, the empire's environment will undergo earth-shaking changes, and there is no harm in making plans by then.

In fact, Alsace was ready to give up most of his interests to ensure that he would take the position of emperor.

After all, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't even be able to keep his position as emperor.

If you can't become an emperor, how can you talk about your ideals?

Therefore, although his idea seems naive, it is currently the only feasible solution.

"..."

Orson and Alsace looked at each other, their auras were incomparable to each other, and neither could suppress the other.

"Your Highness Alsace."

Orson suddenly spoke.

"Most of the Imperial College records I broke were held by you."

"The most outstanding freshman admitted, the highest total score in a single academic year, the youngest to be re-elected as the student union president, the highest total experience score, the highest student union vote poll..."

As Orson said this, he told Alsace about the records he had broken.

"Although I don't think I am a very good person, at least in front of you, His Highness Alsace, who I have broken many records."

"I don't think you can compare to me."

Hearing Orson's naked ridicule, Alsace suddenly felt angry.

His face was as gloomy as water.

"Then, let's end it with this move. After today, you and I will no longer be friends."

With that said, he punched Orson, and Orson took it lightly.

This seemingly ordinary punch and palm caused a large amount of air flow in the entire room out of thin air.

The decorations placed on the cabinets were also shaken to the ground.

After a long time, the two fists separated.

"I'll have this place cleaned up, Orson."

Arthas said this, turned around silently, and left the room.

Orson turned his head and looked in one direction outside the window.

Sure enough, the dark whistle there and Orson met their eyes.

Orson gave a playful smile.

The next second, a golden figure flashed past, and Anshao, who was distracted by looking at Orson, instantly disappeared into the shadows.

Orson witnessed all this, then sat back in his chair and started reading his book again.

"Alsace, you may be very opportunistic with me on the military front, and I have given you the opportunity to step aside."

"But since you take the throne so seriously, then you must be prepared to lose everything in the fight for imperial power."

"The thread tightens step by step. The more you struggle and the more you want to resist, the easier it is to fall into the abyss."

Orson murmured to himself, as if he already knew Alsace's fate in advance.

Chapter 47: Usurping the Throne (4K)

In the police station, Elsa wanted to see Orson, but was stopped by several high-ranking knights.

"Sorry, Your Highness Elsa, His Highness the Prince has an order. In order to prevent Orson from colluding with outsiders again, Orson must not be allowed to see anyone else except His Highness the Prince."

Seeing this, Elsa put her hands on her hips angrily and looked at the knights in front of her.

"Huh, that means that now the emperor is trying Orson 'alone', right?"

"That's right."

"Can I understand that this is a coup, or a persecution of heroes?"

Several knights lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

"Let me say it again, the power of justice was given to me by my father. Not only the police station, but also the courts are under my control. If you stand in front of me again, I will ask the court people to take you away now and decide your sentence. Treason!"

"We cannot ignore His Royal Highness's order." One of the knights said.

"If you insist on doing this, Your Highness Elsa, then we can only wait for you to call the people from the court."

"Okay." Elsa nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Her anger could hardly be suppressed.

She didn't expect that her father was just unconscious, and her brother seemed to be unable to sit still.

She turned around and walked out of the police station, but did not go towards the court.

Towards.

She knew that in this case, there was no point in going to the court anymore. She could only gather all her strength in Saint Laurent City to prevent her royal brother from launching a surprise attack on her.

Fortunately, Odysseus had left her the leadership of the court magicians before. The combat effectiveness of this group of magicians was not weak at all. With their help, at least she was not without the power to resist.

As for Orson, she could only wait until later to rescue him.

The next period of time will determine the fate of the empire for at least several decades.

The time came to midnight, and the troops outside the city received orders from the generals and began to march towards the city of Saint Laurent, while the troops in the territory ruled by Alsace also began to march towards Elsa's territory.

He had to solve everything within the next forty-eight hours.

Before that, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to make everything you do legal.

Arthas came to Odysseus's palace. Odysseus was already a little awake at this time, but only liquid food for several days made his body extremely weak at the moment.

Hearing Arthas' footsteps coming in, Odysseus turned his head and looked at his son.

"Father, I came here this time to ask you for something."

"you say……"

Odysseus' tone was very weak.

Seeing Alsace's current expression, he already knew what happened.

"The reason why you fainted earlier has been found out. It was Elsa who ordered the chef to put a slow-acting poison in your food. Seeing that she was expected to become the heir, in order to prevent you from changing your mind, she couldn't wait to prepare to murder you. , and put the blame on me, hoping to consolidate his position. "

Unexpectedly, when Odysseus heard these words, he just smiled.

"If you say this...do you believe it?"

Of course Arthas also knew that Odysseus would not believe his words. He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to gain his father's trust when he just woke up, so that everything he could do would not be too troublesome.

When the time comes, get rid of Elsa and let Odysseus be the puppet emperor for a few more years, and the throne will naturally be passed to him.

Of course, he was also prepared for Odysseus not to believe him.

"Of course I don't expect Father to believe my words. I'm not here to gain your trust. I just want to get back what I lost."

Arthas said this and took out a rather ornately decorated edict.

This is an edict that only exists in Odysseus' study, specifically conveying the emperor's will.

"This is the edict of passing the throne. Father, you are currently ill. For the future of the empire, please determine the successor to the throne now. Otherwise, the empire will be unstable, and a conflict may break out between Elsa and me. I don't want to See brother and sister break up.”

Hearing Arthas' words, Odysseus nodded and stretched out his hand.

"Give it to me."

Arthas handed the edict to Odysseus.

The latter took the edict and looked at the contents.

Sure enough, the so-called establishment of the heir was just a means for Arthas to force the emperor to abdicate.

Odysseus looked at the contents and smiled.

"Do you think that if you do this, others will believe in you as the legitimate emperor of the empire?"

"Of course, there is also your scepter, I haven't forgotten it."

Arthas took out Odysseus's scepter again.

"You can pass it to me on your own initiative, or you can wait until your father passes away, it will automatically become invalid, and then I will reactivate it."
