So since Emperor Brandon has been idle recently, various matters in the palace have naturally fallen on the shoulders of Harold, who is a popular prince in the empire.

"Okay, okay, thank you Master Rader for your hard work."

Although his words made Osay say "good things", he still did not change his bad mouth and was so angry that the old mage almost ascended to heaven on the spot.

Then, before the other party could get angry at him again, he turned around and left, leaving only his butt and back to Master Ladd.

"No... rude... rude person!!"

It's a pity that this court mage with a cultural background can't even curse someone out of anger, but he can't even curse him out. He just keeps saying "rude person" over and over again.

As a result, he almost exploded his lungs, clutching his chest in pain and making a breathless "ho ho" sound.

"No, no, Master Rad! It's just a verbal dispute. That guy from Osei has a bad mouth. You don't have to be so angry..."

This frightened Harold, and he quickly stretched out his hand to give him some relief, fearing that he would actually burp in anger.

…

On the other side, Osei turned around to leave, but when he turned his back, his original playful and eccentric expression disappeared, and instantly turned into seriousness and seriousness.

The pace of his departure was also careless from the beginning. He gradually walked faster and faster, and even the figure behind him disappeared, entering a state of stealth.

"Back?"

Emperor Brandon, who had returned to his newly built palace, saw no figure or movement around him, but he seemed to have predicted the arrival of Osay.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The figure of an ordinary man in white kneeling on one knee appeared in front of his empty body the next moment.

At this moment, the assassin Osai showed no trace of his usual carelessness and impropriety. Although he was obviously an assassin, at this moment he met Brandon with the most solemn etiquette of chivalry.

This also means that he is now no longer the poisonous assassin who speaks freely because of his close relationship with the emperor, but a minister and knight who is truly loyal to the emperor.

"I didn't want to meet you in this capacity, but after all...it's just in case."

Brandon sighed softly and said. It can be seen from the expression on his face that he prefers his friend Osei, who has a bad mouth but is extremely close to him.

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty, no matter which Osai they are, they exist to be loyal to you."

Knight Osai's attitude and tone were extremely respectful.

"Well, your loyalty has been witnessed over the years."

A serious look gradually appeared on Emperor Brandon's face, and then he spoke seriously about the purpose of calling him here this time.

"I have no choice but to call you here this time. I have been pretending to be depressed during this period. In fact, it was to lure the people behind me to reveal my fault, but in the end it was not what people wanted."

"The mastermind behind this is more cautious and insidious than I thought. Now, just in case, I have to send you to do this."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

Knight Osay is like a representative of loyalty, saying that no matter what His Majesty orders, he will never hesitate to do so.

"I want you to monitor Harold's whereabouts as much as possible during these days of the ceremony without alerting the other party..."

Under the shadows, Emperor Brandon's eyes flickered, making it impossible to tell his mental state when he said these words.

"Your Majesty means..."

After hearing this, Osei immediately understood what the other party meant, but when he first heard the order, he was a little unbelievable.

"Don't ask too many questions, just do it."

Brandon just waved his hand and had no intention of explaining to him.

"yes."

Osay bowed respectfully, and his figure gradually turned into a shadow and disappeared from the place again.

"Alas - how many people in such a large royal family can be trusted?"

In the empty palace, only Emperor Brandon sighed quietly.

…

On the other hand, they went to visit Marco and his wife, and because of Bai's rash joining, the two of them were more or less embarrassed and unable to let go.

Maybe it was because they were in the presence of acquaintances and it was difficult for them to get close to each other. Apparently when they were on Yuangu Road before, the two of them often acted as if no one else was around.

Now he is actually shy, which is really confusing.

However, he was pale along the way, and he really had the awareness that he was a light bulb. Basically, if he didn't take the initiative to talk, he would follow silently without saying a word.

It can be said that his sense of presence is extremely low. It is obvious that he has tried his best to pretend that he is nothing in order not to disturb the young couple. Unfortunately, the effect is not very good.

The main reason is that even Marco himself actually has more or less the intention and mentality of taking Anna to meet his parents.

You're talking about meeting the parents, so what's the point of bringing an extra friend and a man? Fortunately, this somewhat embarrassing journey finally came to an end before dinner.

Looking at the slums at the end of his field of vision, the young man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the low and simple houses around, and the definitely dirty and messy environment. Anna, who was born in such a place, can naturally recognize where this place is.

That's why she asked with some uncertainty.

"Marco...is this where your teacher lives?"

After all, in her heart, she could become Marco's teacher and be visited by the mysterious Bai. This "teacher" should be a powerful figure after all, right?

But who would have thought that such a "big shot" would live in a slum in the imperial capital?

"Yes, my 'teacher's' house is on the edge of this slum area."

Marco did not show the slightest discoloration because of the desolate slums in front of him. In other words, he had already seen a lot of the dark sides of various cities, slums, black streets, etc.

The slums in the imperial capital are actually pretty good.

At least the imperial capital is the capital of the empire. Although the poor here have an underground status, they can still be considered to have a prosperous life, which means they can still survive in the winter.

Various other small towns and slums in small towns are even more miserable. In today's winter moon, it can even be called a personal cannibalistic hell.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

There was a hint of complaint in the girl Anna's tone. Of course, don't get me wrong. The little girl is not the kind of person who looks down on the slums because she thinks she is more developed.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come here dressed like this. Wouldn't it be weird to go to your teacher like this?"

She complained vaguely because she felt that she shouldn't have dressed up so beautifully for this trip, as it would have made her look out of place in the surrounding slum environment.

Moreover, if you meet the "teacher" who lives in a slum, he must be dressed more simply and plainly, which would be more in line with the environmental conditions of the slum.

"It doesn't matter. My teacher doesn't care about this. He won't care what you wear to see him."

Marco smiled casually, then took the girl's hand and walked forward.

"Let's go, let's go, we're all here, don't give in~"

"Okay, okay... I hope what you said is true."
