Fortunately, Earl Kyle was killed a while ago, and now half of the six sword masters in the empire are nobles.
Especially the Duke of Butler, who is second only to Rudolph, has won the trust and respect of the Central Knights.
That's why the emperor felt that he could not ignore their request.
"Well, is that all?"
"Yes. We have already stepped on the back of the giant dragon. Going back is admitting defeat."
Many nobles, such as the Marquess of Meyers, were royals from kingdoms occupied by the Barlocke Empire.
The only reason they follow the emperor is because they have no power.
"I agree with Lord Meyers."
"Yeah, if not now, when can we show our strength?"
Everywhere nobles began to support the so-called rebellion.
In the end, according to the number of opinions, the nobles decided to gather strength, and Butler and Meyer were the objects of pressure in the tomb.
Light!
"What happened? All the nobles except Cavanier were knocked down?"
In the emperor's office.
23 Emperor Rudolf was angry with Count Voltas.
Because something unexpected happened to him.
But so was Count Voltas.
"I don't know what's going on in the city. I called and asked, but he said they didn't do that."
"Then who did this? Also, are you sure the nobles on our side didn't kill the nobles on their side?"
The emperor's nobles and knights who died that night were all his cherished administrative officials.
They are geniuses who can lead the empire to a better future, but everything changes in an instant.
"It's still unclear...the intelligence department is still investigating, and I believe the truth will come to light soon.
Some clues were found near the bodies of the dead imperial nobles.
However, the evidence is so obvious, whether it is credible or not.
As a result, Imperial Intelligence launched an investigation.
"It's.....nothing really works!"
A frustrated Rudolph beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Count Voltas could only look at the Emperor.
"Yes, take a bite!"
Lin Qing, who had done all this, burst into tears seeing the ugly atmosphere rising in the capital.
If there were skirmishes between the emperor and the nobles, it would surely have developed into a civil war.
If a civil war breaks out, even if the emperor wins, he will suffer considerable losses.
That would be a perfect opportunity for Lin Qing to kill the two enemies he had.
"I thought it would take about a decade for this to develop, but I didn't realize it would save me a lot of time."
Just when Lin Qing was lost in her own thoughts, a group of people entered the room after knocking on the door.
"Master Lin Qing!"
A slender beauty with silver hair came towards him among the other men.
Anna, who was leading the way for the people inside, looked at them in astonishment.
"Rena? No, what, why are you here?"
Anna was a little surprised, because Lin Qing's face was filled with joy and a smile.
Before coming to the capital, he wrote her a letter, but Lin Qing never expected that Princess Na would come to the capital to meet him.
"You said you were going to reward the capital. I can't wait to see you again..."
Leina didn't know that she was moved when she saw Lin Qing, and her face was flushed by her own words.
"You're not hurt anywhere, are you?" she asked blushing.
"Hahaha, you see I'm fine. So, how are you doing? You haven't been sick for a while, have you?"
"My heart is terrified with the concern of the young Lord."
"My God..."
The two were busy chatting for a long time, and didn't care if anyone was watching. It is all because of the time away from each other that their love becomes stronger.
But it doesn't make much sense to stand in the shoes of other people who don't know how they feel.
"Well, my lord, didn't you see us?"
"Ah, you are here too."
Hans and the other retainers looked sad. Because the lord they raised since they were young didn't even look at them, looking ungrateful.
Lin Qing didn't know, and asked, "How could I have thought that everyone would come here, especially if there was nothing to report to me?"
"Since Princess Reina has decided to come, we also want to come and see your face."
The retainers heard that their lord had survived the Volga Republic War and made great achievements.
It's just that they are all worried about whether Lei Na will support herself after meeting Lin Qing.
They were all afraid that Lin Qing would be injured or hurt, and they would be tough for the princess.
"Sit down first, princess, you sit down too."
Lin Qing asked Leina to sit down close to her, and glanced at Anna.
"Your Excellency Anna. Please come here for some snacks."
"Understood, sir.
As usual, Anna finished answering in a weak voice, then left the room with her shoulders slumped.
However, Lin Qing only had Lei Na in her eyes, and she didn't notice that Anna seemed unusually upset.
After everyone in the room sat down, they discussed the current situation one after another.
Seeing Lin Qing's state, the retainers breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, reports about the manor began to pour in.
That's the same report from two months ago, not a big change.
The estate is well run by retainers and the city of Lamer is more prosperous than ever, especially after the war, under the leadership of Rainer and the Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the Katarina Magic Tower under Mutter is also growing steadily, and wizards flock to them, and Mutter also goes to the streets to pick up children with magical qualities in the manor.
"And thanks to the command of the Lord, the recruitment work is progressing steadily. We have 70,000 soldiers, 500 knights, and 80 titans."
Lin Qing was very satisfied with the difference between the manor he saw when he opened his eyes and the current time of 857.
"You have worked hard during this period, but we still have a lot of work to do to achieve our goal." Lin Qing said.
"Understood."
Lin Qing and his group responded: "Ah, and Sir Hans. I heard that an intelligence guild will be established, is it true?"
Lin Qing asked with some thoughts in her heart.
"I intend to follow the Lord. Please come in."
Hans clapped his hands, the door opened, and a middle-aged man entered.
The person who came in got down and knelt in front of Lin Qing.
"I'm Hudson, Lord."
"Hudson is..."
Hans explained the history of Hudson to Lin Qing, and Lin Mao was still watching him.
"He's very capable, and was once assigned to work in the Capital Intelligence Guild. He was cornered by his men to betray him, and in time he was spared death. He was the right man for the job, which is why I appointed him head of 'Argos'. said Hans.
"Argos? The name of the manor?" Lin Qing asked.
"Like a monster with hundreds of eyes, I've heard it lives on another continent. If you have another name, I'll change it right away."
"No, it's okay. That's it."
Lin Qing looked back at Hudson and asked him,
It's not just about sitting behind a fancy desk and working. One has to travel around and have expertise and connections to understand something. .
