"Who are you? You actually dare to appear in my bedroom!”
The little Emperor, who had regained his senses, woke up from the illusion. He immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation, only to see a long spear pointed at his throat.
"You... What do you want?"
Cold sweat dripped down the little Emperor's forehead as she forced herself to ask calmly.
"As expected of the Emperor. He's still considered calm for a child.”Kuqiulin laughed.
You're not much older than me, right? You actually called me a child? The little Emperor pouted.
"You fellow…Was it the person from the assassin organization? He could actually come to my palace without a sound.”
"No, they don't have the ability. Moreover, if it were them, your head would have been taken off long ago.”
"Then why haven't you made a move yet…I-I'll make things clear first. If you want to threaten me…"
Even though he wasn't very unyielding, the little Emperor still spoke the words that an Emperor should say, and Kuqiulin nodded.
"It's quite decent. Unfortunately, it's just a puppet.”
"Are you humiliating me?!" The little Emperor seemed to be angry. She didn't care much about being pointed at her throat.
"I'm just telling the truth. Everyone in the empire knows that Minister Orneste is the true ruler, and the throne is just for show.”
“...”
What can I do? I was able to come to power because of the support of Minister Ornest…but...
Of course, the little Emperor wouldn't tell an assassin about these thoughts, but Kuqiulin had already read them with the mind reading ability of the Thearch relic, Five Sight.
Kuchulin smiled. If the emperor really trusted Minister Orneste completely, then there was nothing he could do. He might as well stab him to death. However, it seemed that the Emperor had some thoughts about Minister Ernest, which made him feel much more at ease.
"Listen well, Emperor…You can choose what I want to say next.”Kuqiulin was put away to let the little emperor relax a little.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Emperor, I've come to visit you. Is your dragon body still well?”
Minister Ernest walked into the emperor's room. This kind of thing that originally needed to be asked for instructions was unnecessary for the minister. The soldiers did not stop him. After all, the guards arranged by the emperor were all personally selected by the minister.
"Oh? Minister, you came personally? What a surprise. Is there something urgent?”
The Emperor walked out in a panic, which made Minister Ornest a little suspicious.
"That's right, that's right ~ This is the list of people scheduled to be executed this month. Please take a look.”
Minister Ernest took out a list covered in grease and handed it to the Emperor. He smiled and said,""One of them is a former administrative officer. Seeing that they have contributed to the country in the past, I will take care of their wife and daughter.”
"Of course not. Minister, you are really thoughtful. We will do as you say.”
"Hehe, the emperor is really wise…By the way, my subordinate reported to me that there seemed to be suspicious people in the palace just now. Please be careful.”
The subordinate that Minister Orneste was talking about was one of the Four Rakshasa Ghosts of the Royal Fist Temple. He had vaguely noticed a suspicious figure when he was taking a walk in the palace.
The Four Rakshasa Ghosts were very sharp in this aspect. In the original novel, they easily discovered Lubbock, who had blended into the crowd to search, and could tell at a glance that he was a martial artist.
Although Kuqiulin was not discovered, it still made them suspicious and reported it to the minister.
The minister quickly left, seemingly not noticing the disappointment in the little Emperor's eyes.
"How is it? Little Emperor, have you considered my words properly?”
Kuqiulin crawled out from under the Emperor's bed and smiled when he saw the little Emperor frowning and deep in thought. He quickly took off the crown from his head, revealing the Imperial Artifact, Five Sight, on it.
Through this prop, he could see the minister's thoughts at a glance. This included disdain, exploitation, and contempt.
"Oh... I feel a little dizzy."
"Of course. A monarch relic will reject people who are not suitable for it. You're the emperor, so you should know better than me.”
Kuqiulin pulled the Thearch relic down. He did not intend to let the Emperor hold on to it for too long. Although he did lend the Emperor some information so that the Emperor could trust him more quickly, he could only read the surface of the information.
"It's still hard for me to trust you…" But what you said to me is not without reason.”
The little Emperor stared at the blue-haired youth in front of him, recalling the suggestions he had made.
He appointed General Bude, who was loyal to the royal family, and the officials of the Conscience Faction to gradually clean up the ministers 'henchmen and take control of the imperial power in his own hands...
"This isn't enough. General Bude is one of us, but he can't be ordered around by you. You can't possibly ask him to listen to your orders to assassinate someone or be your bodyguard. At this time, you have to rely on me."
