In this case, the administrative efficiency of the entire imperial capital has gradually become extremely low invisibly. Luke deliberately finds a few guys to punish him, but the other party is not a fool, and will not do too much. At the same time, Catherine kept pacifying the Fernando royal family and Luke, hoping that they would put the overall situation first and not undermine the rare and stable situation in the imperial capital.
People who can become officials and have some real power are of course not fools. They are not good at doing serious things, but they are very good at internal friction, so that what they should do is not a disease. It also makes it difficult for others to find out. After all, this country is already weakening like an old man. Many things are no longer as distinct as the black and white when Fernando I was founded. After 2oo years of change, the difference between black and white Then there is a clear distinction, but another area slowly appears, that is, gray.
Luke is only one person after all. He cannot support the government affairs of the entire empire. In order to make a country run effectively, Luke can only appoint people to be responsible for all aspects. Not only Luke, but all countries in the Big Six are like this. No matter how wise the king is, it is impossible to have enough energy and time to do everything. The best way is to decentralize and use necessary means to control the released power. Supervise, let the right people do the right things, remove the unqualified people, and keep the whole organization running.
At the beginning, Luke was looking forward to Catherine’s mediation. After all, Luke didn’t plan to do too much. But after several times of mediation, those Fernando officials in Luke’s current Fernando line are still ill-advised, every day. His administrative affairs are still serious internal consumption, so he is determined to give these pesky guys a lesson.
So, Luke began to pretend to be helpless. He no longer demanded strict government affairs, and gradually lowered his requirements for officials of the Fernando faction... Luke's deeds made Henikos and the others delighted. Crazy, they think that their non-cooperative plan has achieved great results, and their joy also affects the people around them.
Under Luke’s deliberate indulgence, the members of Fernando’s royal family began to lose their vigilance. Many arrogant children of the royal family thought that Luke was afraid of his royal identity, and they gradually returned to the pre-war period, Fernando XIII. That kind of scenery when the world was still alive.
The long-awaited opportunity for Luke finally appeared. A son of the Fernando royal family, when he ran wildly with his servant in the imperial capital, because he drove his horse into the market, he did not stop in time. As a result, many stalls were knocked over and nine civilians were knocked down one after another, resulting in seven deaths and two injuries.
Luke was overjoyed when he learned of this incident. He changed his low-key posture and personally led the elite troops of the Jonas Legion to come forward from the other street. Henikos's only grandson was arrested. When Henikos learned that his grandson had been arrested, he immediately brought people to Luke and asked him to let him go, but Luke did not see him at all, and the next day, the perpetrator was escorted to him on a horse. There was a big trial in that street.
Because the evidence in this case is solid, the entire trial went smoothly. The perpetrator thought Luke was just pretending. After all, he was a direct descendant of the Fernando family. He didn't need to be afraid. The result of the trial was hanging.
Sentenced to hanging, but Luke did not do it on the spot, but deliberately postponed the execution, giving Henikos enough time to react. Luke is going to use this method to lure the impervious Fernando royal family to use force, and he can mobilize the Royal Knights under Orlando to give these worms a fatal blow and take the opportunity to clean these pesky worms.
Henicos is 79 years old, and his son is more than 50 years old. This time his only grandson will be sentenced to hanging. How can Henicos tolerate this, so he used an extremely tough posture to ask the intersection People, but this is what Luke waited for. Righteously refused, the two sides almost fought on the spot. Although they were finally stopped by Catherine who came after hearing the news, the atmosphere in the entire imperial capital became tense.
Time is getting closer and closer to the hanging of Henikos’s only grandson. Henikos also decided to use force on the advice of his staff. He believes that the Royal Knights are loyal to the Fernando family and will never favor Luke. As long as the army he usually bought, plus the private soldiers and slaves of the family, he would surely be able to catch one of Luke's surprises and rescue his grandson. As soon as the grandson is rescued, he will be sent away through the magic teleportation circle immediately. As long as the person is not in the imperial capital, what can Luke do?
No one thought that on the night before the execution of the hanging, Henicos, the leader of the Fernando Royal League, suddenly became bedridden. This old collar originally held a secret meeting with a few henchmen in the secret room of his home to confirm the next day's course of action, but suddenly fell to the ground with a trembling body.
No one knows, this is actually Catherine’s masterpiece. In order to alleviate the nervousness of the imperial capital, Catherine once went to the residences of Hernikos and Luke a few days ago as Her Majesty to carry out the whole thing. Mediation, because Luke and Henikos had made up their minds a long time ago, naturally the mediation failed. Catherine's efforts were in vain. Naturally, no one would find that Catherine released a corrupting curse on the latter when he was in a separate interview with Henikos.
With Catherine's strength, he released this dark magic to an old man who didn't know magic or martial arts, and he didn't even need to cast spells and gestures, and the curse on Henikos was almost instantaneous. And this dark magic corruption curse was not very powerful at the beginning, and the middle person just felt a little weak in his body, thinking that he was overworked. When the curse of corruption is fully exerted, it will be very difficult to treat it again.
Henikos kept wailing in bed like this all night, and his body was even decayed with a visible degree. Even if several priests took action together, he could only barely contain it with light magic. The degree of corrosion, in fact, couldn't alleviate Henikos's pain, but made him die even worse.
When the sun rose the next day, the 79-year-old Henikos died on his bed with a stinky body, and his grandson was hanged at the Royal Observatory by Luke a few hours later. Down. Luke felt very sorry for the death of Hernikov, because he was almost able to completely solve the worm in the Imperial Capital, but for Birmingham, whose power and prestige were comparable to Hernikov, he felt extremely lucky. Because the old guy who was pressing on his head was finally gone.
In this way, Catherine's adventure paid off greatly. When Henikos and Luke were at war, her unremitting efforts conquered everyone's hearts, which made Catherine's prestige rise day by day. However, the Fernando royal family's power was greatly reduced, and there was no way to contend with Luke. They even had no right to survive, and they had to fall to Catherine under the leadership of Birmingham to gain space for survival.
