Fernando City, Empire State Affairs Office.
Although Luke is the actual administrator of the imperial capital, he is only a civilian now. After his title of Minister of Finance was dismissed by Fernando XIII, he has not been reinstated. But on this point, everyone Selectively ignored.
Luke sits at the table and concentrates on his official business. After defeating the attack of the orcs, the human emperor has a lot to do, such as providing compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers, preparing winter clothing and food, rebuilding residences, and organizing manpower to re-dispose of the industries that have been taken over from the escaped nobles and officials...
Government affairs are endless, but Luke's interest is extremely high. For people like Luke who are obsessed with power, handling official affairs is the greatest enjoyment. Each sentence of Luke may determine hundreds The fate of thousands of people, this pleasure of taking the fate of others in their own hands, can't be replaced by anything else.
"Let me in...you **** guards, don't you know who I am?" There was a noisy voice outside the door, which made Luke very angry when his thoughts were interrupted. He was about to open his mouth hard. He scolded a few words, but suddenly remembered the master who was angry.
"It's so fast!" Luke said silently in his heart: "It has only been a few days since the end of the defense of the imperial capital, and they actually took action."
"Boom!" With a sound, the door of the room was knocked open. A nobleman who was about 40 years old strode in, and the guards guarding the outside of Luke's room followed closely here. The nobleman walked in behind him, and the one they headed saw Luke quickly distinguished: "I'm sorry, my lord. We...he insisted on coming in, we..."
"Go down!" Luke waved his hand lightly, letting the negligent guards out lightly. When there were two people left in the room, Luke's face was full of smiles. He stood up and walked up to the nobleman in a respectful tone: "Welcome back, my Birmingham."
Yes, this nobleman who is about 40 years old is the Birmingham Fernando who once hoped to inherit the throne of Fernando XIII. From the royal blood, his inheritance to the throne can be ranked in the top three, of course it is Before these nobles fled the imperial capital.
"Huh!" Birmingham displeased: "Luke, your subordinates are really...even I dare to stop them!"
Luke was actually very angry, because he stopped everyone with the orders given by the guards. As a result, a Birmingham with royal blood made them wonder what to do. Several strong guards Actually let an aristocrat who lingered in a married woman's bed and his body was too weak to break in like this.
However, with Luke’s scheming, his face was full of apologetics, and he said loudly: "Oh, you are wronged. Those guards are all new, how do you know you? Wait for me I withdrew them. Oh, yes, what are you?"
Birmingham saw that Luke got the topic directly into the subject, so he didn't go around in circles. He went straight to a chair and sat down, and then said to Luke: "I came back from Sea Breeze this time, mainly about that person. About Catherine. As everyone knows, this woman is just Crufernando’s wife. How can she be the queen of the empire? I have asked everyone for their opinions, and everyone thinks she can’t continue to sit in that position."
Luke sneered secretly in his heart. These moths run faster than anyone in danger, but when the crisis is over, they immediately fly back like a fly smelling stinky meat, which is really annoying. "This is true. But, my Lord Birmingham, who do you think should inherit this position?"
As soon as he heard that Luke had reached the most critical place, Birmingham's breathing suddenly rose. He could no longer sit still, and stood up awkwardly. Birmingham kept rubbing his hands, his forehead was even slightly sweaty, and his face flushed: "This, this, I think...oh, no, everyone thinks, this, should, that..."
Luke saw Birmingham's hesitation and refused to continue. He smiled meaningfully and said what Birmingham wanted but couldn't say: "I personally think that this position is only available to our Lord Birmingham. Qualification inheritance. You, one of the two is too old, and the other is too young, isn’t it?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Birmingham repeatedly said: "That's the truth, or you Luke knows the righteousness. Ah, if I sit in that position, I will make you the chancellor of the Empire."
"Then I will thank you first." Luke nodded slightly, and then whispered: "But now the key is that you must get the support of other people. Instead, you should contact other people as much as possible. Strive for their support as much as possible, and then we will find an opportunity to bring this matter up. Then, hehe..."
"Yes, yes." Birmingham repeatedly said: "I will go now, I will go now!"
"Wait!" Luke stopped Birmingham, who was about to go out in a hurry, and whispered in his ear: "Please keep it secret, otherwise it will be troublesome to let others know."
Birmingham patted Luke's shoulder vigorously, nodded in satisfaction, and walked out with his hands behind his back and smugly.
Luke looked at Birmingham from behind, a trace of regret appeared on his face, and this expression immediately turned into anger. After a while, four brawny men walked in with their heads high. These men were different from the guards who stood outside Luke’s gate. These people were adopted by Luke since childhood. They were loyal to Luke. The outside guards were specially promoted by Luke. After all, Luke is now the actual power in the imperial capital. Proper promotion of some outsiders will make it easier to gather people's hearts.
What Luke didn't expect was that the few people he promoted vigorously after seeing Birmingham, who has the royal blood, were actually fearful, so they let them in. This is where Luke is most angry. Luke is responsible for the food, clothing and housing of the few people, but once something happens, he refuses to contribute. If Luke’s men look like this, then Luke simply rolls it up. Just set up a bedding and go home. His own guards can't take care of it, so what are the major issues of the country to deal with?
In view of this, Luke deliberately mobilized his confidant. He has to deal with those who are unwilling to truly contribute to himself. If this matter is not set up as a blood example for latecomers, then a lot of Things are not easy to handle. Luke looked at these four confidants, and if they pointed out: "I have always used people without being close to each other. As long as I have the ability, I will promote vigorously. Of course, if the person I promoted is not loyal enough, then he will not be able to leave. Far."
The four brawny men stood upright just like that, unheard of Luke's words. Luke knew that these four people had actually heard what they were saying, but they had been rigorously trained since they were young. Whenever the master refused to let them speak, they were dumb.
"The guards who guarded my door just now have good abilities. The reconstruction of the imperial capital now requires a lot of manpower. Let them go wherever the most dangerous. Don’t treat them just because they have been with me. Look at it."
The one standing on the far left of these four people has one more yellow bar at the neckline than the other three. Most of them are the heads. This person just nodded slightly after hearing Luke's words, but was speechless.
Luke again: "This person is still the most caring one who has been used since childhood. From now on, my safety is left to you. Everyone takes turns. Don't work too hard."
Hearing the encouraging tone in Luke's words, the four of them remained expressionless, only the headed one nodded slightly again.
Luke waved his hand and let his men out. When he was alone in the room, Luke suddenly used a voice that only he could hear: "Or, how many accidents should I make?"
Fernando City, Luke's mansion.
Ryan waved his hand vigorously, unhappy: "I'm just an ordinary magic apprentice, I don't understand these things about you, and I don't want to understand!"
Hubble Fernando, the 7-year-old child who has the same right of succession to the throne as Birmingham, sits on the ground, happily playing with an exquisite warship made of gold, and beside the heir to the throne, a young man The man in his 30s tirelessly said: "Aha, you are so humble. Who doesn't know, except for the Victor division, your military merit is the first in the battle for the Thor Fortress and the Imperial Capital."
Ryan looked unhappy: "That's just what I should do, and it has nothing to do with those politics."
"Aha! How can this be irrelevant? According to my Camp Fernando, with your such great feats, you are enough to serve as the Marshal of the Empire. If our Hubble can sit in that position, I I must recommend you to him, look?"
Ryan wished that a fireball technique would directly destroy this nonsense guy in front of him, but he still resisted it. After all, this 30-year-old man is also of royal blood. Ryan is not afraid of getting into trouble, but he doesn't want to give it to him. Drawing and Luke are in trouble.
"This matter will come later, I'm going to practice." Ryan stood up and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Camp reached out to stop Ryan and said loudly, "Aha, I almost forgot, we are lovely Hubble mentioned you more than once, and he still wants to learn magic from you. Now there is just time, why don't you give him a pointer?"
Lane looked at the little guy who was less than 7 years old sitting on the ground, his nose was about to run to his chest, and he didn't know how to wipe it. An impulse to kill came from the bottom of his heart. Ryan couldn’t bear it anymore. He said: "I have a habit. If someone does not let me practice when it comes to practicing magic, then I will use that person as a target."
After that, Ryan flipped his hand and a ball of fire appeared in his hand.
