Chapter 812 The Ambassador Who Likes to Think
"Although it is a blessing to survive the assassination, but looking at you always crying, should I be more serious about this matter?"
The joke, which was neither light nor light, made Aliot even lower his head. He felt deeply guilty about the accident and thought that the prior inspection and arrangement could ensure that the prince was fine.
But complacency and arrogance should never appear on an important expatriate.
The ambassador chose to show his regret for this matter through action. He knelt down on one knee, took out a dagger, held up his long blond hair with his right hand, and prepared to cut it off from the shoulder.
Long hair is very important to Assur, and is often used as a symbol of identity and status. Even if its importance is not as important as that of a dwarf's beard, it is not far behind.
Seeing that Aliot was really preparing to do something stupid, Imrik quickly asked Mishan to hold him back. Although this assassination operation was a bit unexpected, it was still reasonable. Caledor had become the rat's biggest nightmare in the world.
This has nothing to do with Aliot. What he needs to be responsible for is the affairs within the empire, not deeper conflicts.
Regarding his old subordinates, Imric shook his head and regretted, "I'm not dead yet, why are you holding me to account first?"
Even though he was pulled by Mishan, Aliot still knelt on the ground stubbornly and refused to stand up. His voice was filled with regret, which made people clearly feel the emotions in his heart.
"This is my dereliction of duty. Your Highness has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, allowing me to transform from a low-level officer in the garrison to Caledor's ambassador to the empire. However, I have betrayed this trust. This dereliction of duty... I really need to use my life to atone for it. .”
Imric had always had no choice but to persuade the ambassador to do nothing. For him, this assassination was just a way to instill fear in the rats.
Aliot, who was dubious, finally raised his head, "What about Princess Felice...where is the maid? She used to be inseparable from you. If such a big thing happens, she will always be by your side. Could it be that something unexpected happened... …”
As he spoke, Aliot shed tears again. The maid who had followed the Dragon Prince since childhood had probably died protecting her master. He still clearly remembered that when His Highness was serving in the garrison, Phyllis often came to visit with gifts. The soldiers under my command also received some benefits...
But such an elegant and dignified woman was actually killed by a Skaven...
Ariot, who was overcome with grief, fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Perhaps His Highness was relaxed now just to comfort himself. He was still as before, keeping everything in his heart.
Ambassadors who think too much give Imrik even more headaches. Several ambassadors stationed in the old world all came from the garrison and like to over-interpret their own ideas.
What could be wrong with Phyllis? She hadn't slept for a few days and was now sleeping in bed.
"Don't think too much. Phyllis is fine, and so am I. The result of the rat-man assassination was that the Altdorf Palace was permanently banned from a palace. Rather than talking about the assassination, I prefer that you brought some good things from Nunn. information."
Aliot raised his head and said dubiously,
"Is everything okay?"
"It's okay, you're just a rat, you can't help me."
The ambassador once again observed the prince's condition and found that it was almost the same as before, and he finally let go of his suspense.
But he was still a little worried, "I will contact Senator Edgar immediately and ask him to organize the Flame Knights to come to Altdorf. You only have two guards around you, which really makes us, as ministers, worried."
Imric waved his hand and let him make arrangements as he pleased. In fact, Weitz had received an order from the Nunn Palace. The Half-Gryphon Knights would serve as his bodyguards throughout the entire trip to the empire. From a safety perspective...
It doesn't seem right. He can wipe out the Half-Gryphon Knights by himself. Who is protecting whom?
Fortunately, Aliot didn't know what the prince was thinking now. He stood up straight with a slight trembling and spread the news from Nunn bit by bit.
"After Magnus learned about this, he ordered Leo to inspect the Skaven lair underground in Altdorf. If there is still a rat in the city after three months, he will deprive Schlistein of his status as emperor. Part of the political power of the family identifies the Duke of Kronborg as the Todblind family.”
The ambassador hesitated a little and said what was in his mind, "Your Highness, the Reich Territory is the richest place in the empire. The Schlisterin family is well aware of the responsibility it needs to bear in this matter. The palace may also be able to use some means..."
Before the ambassador could finish speaking, Imric raised his hand to stop him. It was not a good habit to use the topic as a pretext, and taking advantage of the situation was not Caledor's style. Not only would he not accuse the Schlistein family, but he would increase his cooperation with them. intensity.
After such a serious accident, Leo must also be well aware of the threat of the Skaven. He completely isolated a palace from the outside world for two hours. Such a long time was enough for the black-faced assassin to kill Schlistein. All members of the family were slaughtered.
Those who fight chaos and rats are good comrades, not to mention that the potential of Reikland is far from what it is now. Gaining friendship in advance is a valuable and necessary thing.
"No, the Dragon Palace will increase its cooperation with the Schlistein family."
The ambassador hesitated to speak. After all, he did not have the courage to question His Highness's decision, so he turned to the second matter about Nunn.
"Magnus hopes that you will go to Nunn as soon as possible to negotiate some important matters, but he did not disclose the specific situation to me."
Imrik, who took some time to think about it, turned to look at Mishan, and after getting a nod, he said yes.
One of the reasons for coming to Altdorf was to learn about Vlad’s current situation from Laszlo. Mishan has been communicating closely with this vampire in the past few days. Now that the information has been learned, the dragon sleeping in the zoo is still Find an opportunity to visit again.
After all, this time period is too special, and anything you do may trigger a chain reaction, so it’s better to try not to cause extraneous problems.
After agreeing to this matter, Imrik suddenly remembered something and asked Aliot,
"You didn't report this back to the palace, did you?"
Aliot nodded, but what he said made Imric feel a chill in his heart.
"After the incident happened, I have already passed the news to His Highness Dracnir. I believe that the whole of Caledor is already aware of this matter."
Seeing His Highness covering his face, the Ambassador was very doubtful.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No, you did the right thing and fulfilled your duties as an ambassador to the empire perfectly."
Imric's unprovoked act made Aliot not know how to respond, and he praised him with a very strange expression. His Highness did not seem to be in such a habit.
In order to answer the doubts in the ambassador’s mind, Yoneyama said jokingly,
"He was worried that a certain female prince would know the news, so he kept bombarding her with magic communications. He promised to pay attention to safety, but ended up facing the assassination alone." (End of Chapter)
