Presia, Winter City, Royal Palace.
"Seal the entire palace, and Priest who has entered his father's room are not allowed to come out. Open all forbidden magic circles." Isli commanded frantically.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the troops on duty at the palace today are all direct descendants of Isli.
This was not arranged by Isli, but by Emperor Orsay.
Isli took command, surprisingly smoothly.
"Your Highness, what do you say to the outside world?" The head of the palace guard stood at Isli.
"Releasing the news, my father was assassinated and was slightly injured." Isli took a deep breath.
"Yes!" the head of the Imperial Guard responded.
"Fetch me the Minister of Internal Affairs." Isli waved his hand.
Soon, Isli met the Minister of Internal Affairs in Emperor Orsay's study.
When the Minister of the Interior saw that Isli dared to sit in Emperor Orsay's seat, he couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the emperor has indeed left.
There were many things that the emperor had not had time to do or explain. At this most critical time, when he was needed most, he passed away.
Theoretically, it is still possible to let the emperor continue to preside over it, but that would require evil undead magic.
Undead magic has always been a taboo in the mainland. If the emperor uses undead magic to resurrect, I am afraid that all countries will attack Presia.
Not only that, the emperor died at the end of his life, and his soul was also very fragile. He was afraid that he would report to the Nether Sea just after he left his body.
In this case, it may take Tier 9's undead Mage to have a chance to summon the emperor back.
"Your Highness, what are your instructions?" The Minister of Internal Affairs saluted.
"Where is father's secretary?" Isli said in a deep voice.
"This... I'll get it for you." The Minister of Internal Affairs took out the magic stone and contacted someone.
I don't know how long it took, but a well-dressed old man came to the study.
He was wearing black clothes and looked gloomy.
He has always been with Emperor Orsay. He is the person closest to Emperor Orsay in this country and the person who knows the most.
Many rights are in his hands.
He grew up with Emperor Orsay, and Emperor Orsay has absolute trust in him.
Of course, this trust has a prerequisite, which is that Emperor Orsay's father has planted a mental prison on this person, and he will never betray him.
"Mr. Peter." When Isli saw the old man, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Your Highness." Peter returned the favor.
"Father passed away." Isli sighed.
For some reason, the father who had been pressing him down died. Not only was he not sad, but he was a little happy.
The emperor only has father-daughter feelings towards Teresa, and he is not kind to these brothers.
Eldest Son is over fifty this year, and he deals with government affairs every day.
He has a calm personality. When the emperor had no other children, he would take it out on him and always scare him, which caused Eldest Son's poor health.
Eldest Son doesn't even know if he can survive Emperor Orsay...
Eldest Son also has no cultivation ability, he is just a sixth-level person.
However, he can be said to be Emperor Orsay's strongest supporter politically.
Eldest Son has contributed most to the country's stability over the years.
The third child is in his twenties this year. He deals with military matters. His position is neither high nor low. He is guarding against the monsters in the far north. He is a dispensable position.
There is no way, the third child has an impulsive personality, which makes him guard against national borders and coastlines, and often conflicts with other countries.
For example, one time, Lao San led a division of troops into a small country to burn, kill, and loot on the grounds that a soldier was lost.
If the Emperor hadn't handled it properly at that time, Donald Trump of the Ig Empire would have called on some countries to declare war on Presia in the name of justice.
Even if there was no fight, Presia was still subject to some economic suppression.
Teresa is now helping Caroso fight the war, and he is considered the fourth child.
Lao Wu is not yet an adult and does not pose a threat to Isli.
"Alas..." Peter sighed, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Majesty had long thought that such a day would come, but he didn't expect... that it would happen so soon..."
"Father cannot mourn now." Isli said solemnly, "Otherwise, the country will be in chaos."
"Really?" Peter took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it to Isli.
Isli took the newspaper in confusion and his expression changed.
[Surprise! Emperor Orsay died of illness in Winterhold]
[Details of the death of Emperor Orsay]
[Emperor Orsay is old and strong, spending the night with five men's wives...]
[Emperor Orsay is not a human being. He didn't even let the little girl go. In the end, the little girl bit him off...]
[Emperor Orsay and his daughter-in-law's anecdotes]
[Emperor Orsay is messing around with his son...]
Isli knocked the newspaper on the table and said angrily, "Who, who did it! What evidence do they have to prove that my father is dead?"
He has obviously blocked all the information, but he still uses the people he trusts the most. This shouldn't be the case!
"Your Highness, now is the era of information transparency..." Peter looked at Isli silently. "Not only that, it is also an era where magic is supreme."
"Presia has many strong men, but for the research on magic... for the time being, I still rely on Church of the God of Wisdom."
"Didn't you notice? The top experts in our country are all Warrior, not Mage."
"This also means that our country does not have Prophet... let alone strong anti-divination technology."
There is a very scary profession in this world: Prophet.
Caroso initially blamed Prophet for a lot of things, why did no one doubt it? Because Prophet is really that magical!
Prophet is a very scary group, they believe in God of Destiny.
The number of this group is very small, at least Presia Empire cannot be cultivated.
Emperor Orsay has always focused on the development of heavy industry. In addition, Presia Empire has insufficient magic foundation, which leads to the fact that there is no Prophet in the entire Presia Empire.
Obviously, when Emperor Orsay dies, the celestial phenomena will change. Many Prophet don't do divination at this time. When will they do divination?
They were shocked by this divination...
"Impossible, the prediction cannot be that accurate!" Isli was shocked. "Although our country does not have Prophet, there are still many anti-divination magic circles."
"It's really not that accurate." Peter said indifferently, "But that doesn't stop them from giving it a try. They won't pay much for publishing some news. They just expose some spies."
"Quickly, arrest all those people from the newspaper office..."
"After the newspaper was released, the people from the newspaper ran away." Peter shook his head. "It's too late to catch him now..."
