Chapter 44: A poisonous plot
: Nalia is coming back. This is what Engli is most worried about now.
He could not be sure of Nalia's intentions now. On the surface, several people seemed harmonious, as if all the children of the empress were gathered around her before her death to listen to her last words.
If he tried to kill the fake Sirius at this time, he would probably play into Nalia's hands.
After all, most magic is not suitable for close-range assassination without advance arrangement.
And want to assassinate the people around her at Nalia's hands? Easier said than done.
Maybe not only will it not succeed, but it will also be used by the other party as a leverage against itself. Furthermore...since he can find someone to disguise himself, wouldn't Nalia be able to do it?
In the end, it may be useless for him to kill a few "Sirius". As long as the woman wants to fight him to the death, he will definitely be peeled off by the other party in this shameless way.
After all, the only way to prove his innocence in the whole matter was to bring out the dead Sirius to verify the royal bloodline. Prove that he did not commit the murder of his biological brother.
But this kind of thing...he can't do it!
However, Engli was confused. It was obviously Sirius who betrayed him first, so why did he seem to be a villain now? Where does this make sense...
"Your Highness, the First Prince, my subordinates have monitored the princess's movements through the magic crow. Although we are afraid of being discovered so we can't get close, we can now control the details of the return of the princess and the fake Sirius. Time."
"Well, so what?"
Engli said angrily to his somewhat unreliable subordinate, hoping that the other party would give some useful ideas this time.
"We can wait until they arrive in the imperial city and meet the empress, and then create an opportunity where only the three of them are present. Then I will activate the mental control circle that I have set up in advance and control Nalia to attack the empress."
"...You want to say that we can use this method to frame Nalia?
But the question is...what motive should we give her?"
"Well."
Magic Jim was stunned for a moment, but it was not that he couldn't think of it. How to answer this question.
But he was surprised that the eldest prince in front of him didn't immediately question him with a cold face, asking how he dared to use the empress's life as a tool for his own strategy.
On the contrary, the part about the empress was skipped directly, as if the one who died unjustly was not his biological mother.
"Why, you can't think of it?"
Seeing Engli's face looking a little gloomy, Jim coughed twice in embarrassment, and then explained respectfully:
"Back to the eldest prince, the motive is easy to explain.
We can directly announce the second prince. I think the nobles who knew about the treason they had committed will definitely come forward to testify.
Based on this matter, it is very reasonable for Princess Nalia to be dissatisfied that Sirius was not executed. After all, she She is also one of the victims.
Although she may be more concerned about how to sit in the queen's position now, in the eyes of others, Princess Nalia wanted to execute her scumbag brother, but was blocked by the queen, and finally missed the two of them. Killing them together led to this tragedy.
This may indeed damage the face of the royal family, but it is also a way to solve all the obstacles that prevent the eldest prince from ascending to the throne at the same time." Time seemed to freeze, and we would see you in a few moments. Ngri nodded.
He does feel that he is ashamed of his mother by doing this, but sometimes if you want to achieve great things, you have to know a little sacrifice.
It's time for the empress to abdicate. How can such an indecisive and overly conservative monarch ensure that the Xilin Empire continues to be as strong as it is now?
What the empire needs is someone with action and determination like him to lead everything.
————————
Four days later, Nalia and Sirius drove back slowly in a luxurious carriage.
This carriage not only had one more horse than the one Sirius used when he first came to Anka, but the quality of the horses was also far better than before, so the entire journey took much less time.
When they arrived at Avrama, civilians lined the streets to welcome them. It was obvious that these people had already heard the news about their return.
They waved bouquets and flags in their hands, with joyful smiles on their faces, cheering for the return of Nalia and Sirius in the carriage. After all, to them, they were not only high-ranking royal nobles, but also heroes who traveled thousands of miles to the borderlands to save the people from the fire.
After passing through several bustling streets in the imperial city, the carriages finally stopped in front of the huge gate of the palace.
At the door, the palace guards stood in formation. A simple comparison could tell how much the imperial city's military strength differed from that of Ankh.
Nalia got off the carriage first, her expression was as cold as ever and she didn't show too many emotions.
As for Sirius, who was walking behind, he was naturally feeling very melancholy and helpless. He didn't want to follow him at all, but he couldn't help it now and couldn't resist.
But when he thought that he was not completely passive this time, and at least had the ability to resurrect anyone, he felt much better.
I just don’t know if he dies... can he be resurrected with this thing?
"...Tsk, why do you feel like this is a different person, but he still looks like he deserves a beating like Sirius before?"
Seeing Sirius's expression in the distance, the eldest prince secretly complained in his heart, and then added Pretending to be nonchalant, he put on a smile that he thought was very kind.
At this moment, in the main hall of the main hall, in addition to Engri who came up with a fake smile to greet them, there were actually the chief adviser of the empire, several senior generals, representatives of various nobles, and the archbishop of the church.
Although these people did not want to see Sirius, they were completely unaware of what happened after he left the imperial city. At this moment, they were a little confused as to when the three siblings were so close, and at the same time, they chose to stand quietly aside.
But many people have a feeling that something big will happen in the palace soon.
"Sister, did the trip to Anka go smoothly this time?"
"Of course it went smoothly." Nalia glanced at Engli with a smile and said with some provocation, "If it doesn't go well, I'm afraid that the war will One more person will die."
"Um... I wonder who the emperor sister is referring to?" Engli's smile was a little stuck, but he still forced the question.
"Oh, of course it refers to myself."
Nalia glanced in Sirius' direction before saying this, and then said jokingly, "Otherwise, could he still be my imperial brother?"
