Emperor Augustine's desire to kill the fallen star had never been so strong. The empire would rather have a mediocre loyal minister than allow a shrewd and powerful minister to dominate the court.

But Emperor Augustine did not show it immediately.

It still needs to be verified whether the person driving all this is a meteorite. You cannot deal with an important imperial minister arbitrarily just because of suspicion. And if the meteorite can really affect two princes and a princess at the same time, you should be more careful when dealing with him.

What happened in these days made Augustine realize that he and his children were no longer strangers. They might be closer to the meteor than to their father.

The desolate feeling of loneliness rose again, but Augustine quickly found his imperial heart and concentrated on this battle for national destiny.

The eldest prince Fania also explained some future strategies after this offensive operation, and he respected the meteor even more.

As expected, Alec left the imperial capital and went to the Western Front.

If there had not been such a big military move on the southern front, staying in the imperial capital would have given my father a sense of crisis. If he went to supervise the battle like Alec, the initiative would have been given to Agatha.

If he stays now, he will at most be an eyesore to his father. As long as he doesn't think he will launch a coup, he will tolerate some things.

As for the destruction of the experiment on the secret technique of eternal life...

Based on my father's performance these days, it may not necessarily be a bad thing.

The experiment on the secret technique of eternal life has not been restarted again, the related experiments at the Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center have not continued, and other similar experiments have also been terminated. I think my father also understands that I am not the only one who does not want him to extend his lifespan.

The father no longer pursues the continuation of life, the second prince goes to the Western Front to suppress bandits, and there are signs of separation between Yuexing and Agatha.

As long as the fighting on the southern front was brutal, it would show the strength of the barbarian army and prevent my father from making big moves on the southern front.

I... just need to wait for the great changes in the palace.

Fania, who felt comfortable in his heart, did not feel any trouble because of the unfavorable battle on the southern front. Instead, he talked about his attack strategy on the Tedega Hills.

This was the early stage of the war. The empire was superior to Tedga Hill in terms of national strength. Fania wanted to take the initiative to attack, and of course the emperor would not stop it. Emperor Augustine ordered the cabinet to organize materials and personnel as soon as possible to supplement the southern front army.

Then he talked about Raging Wave City.

Emperor Augustine said to Agatha: "The war against the Celts is not as optimistic as we initially imagined. This battlefield may last for a long time and will consume a lot of the national power of the empire.

As an important economic city in the empire, Raging Waves City should play a more active role in this war."

Agatha had talked a lot about this war in her correspondence with Luke, so she was well prepared for this issue.

"Father... when the empire declared war on Tedega Hills, the Acting Governor of Fallen Star had already urged the Upper Council of Raging Waves City to prepare supplies for the imperial army.

Now Nutao City has prepared more than one thousand tons of military supplies, including more than 40 kinds of consumables such as cans, quilts, palm oil, flour, dried fish, medicines, and fire crystals.

Once the cabinet issues a pass, it can be transported to the southern front battlefield.

The Acting Governor of Meteor Star stated that he will continue to prepare more materials to support the imperial war."

One thousand tons of military supplies is not much for a city the size of Raging Wave City, but these are the things most urgently needed for the war. It shows that Meteorite is still serious about this war.

Moreover, this battlefield was indeed fought suddenly, and it was considered very fast for Nutao City to raise a thousand tons of supplies in such a short period of time.

It also shows what kind of influence and control Meteor has in Raging Wave City.

Emperor Augustine praised: "After the city of Raging Waves was managed by Meteorite, it is much better than before. Gabriel, you new lords should learn from Meteorite. Only when the empire is strong can you make money!"

Gabriel, the chief minister, knew that Emperor Augustine was trying to impress his new nobles, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, we new lords are also actively donating money and materials, and these things will soon be sent to the southern battlefield."

Fania beamed at this moment, and the value of his stay in the imperial capital was reflected in this way. Not only could he attend the imperial cabinet meeting, but all donated materials were sent to the southern route.

No one talks about Alec on the Western Front.

Fania glanced at Agatha: Sister, you must have miscalculated this time.

Fania then said: "Father, after the Acting Governor of Meteor Star took over Raging Wave City, he not only brought more tax revenue to the empire, but also donated so much military supplies.

He even annihilated the Abyss Mages lurking in the Imperial Capital in one fell swoop and killed one of the Abyss Apostles. Such an outstanding talent should shoulder more responsibilities.

I heard that you intend to marry Princess Dai'er to Yue Xing... If Yue Xing can become a member of the royal family, he will definitely be more loyal to the empire."

Fania proposed to marry Princess Dai'er to the meteorite at the imperial cabinet meeting, which was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was also reasonable.

The battle to annihilate the Abyss Mage exposed the complex relationship between Meteorite and the royal family.

Some people couldn't help but look at Agatha.

If the meteorite really hits the eldest prince, it will be a heavy blow to Agatha.

Emperor Augustine did not expect that Fania would bring up this matter before him... He still couldn't calm down!

But now that the eldest prince has brought it up, Augustine also wants to see other attitudes.

He first asked Agatha: "Meteor is yours, and his true identity including his real name... only you know. Meteo is indeed a very rare talent, and his age is very suitable for Del. But his identity and background

You have more say in whether you can marry Dai'er."

Meteor is a codename, and Agatha has never disclosed Meteor's true identity, leading everyone to think that he is involved in too many Secret Service secrets.

But marrying an imperial princess is not only a matter for the empire, but also a major event internationally. The identity of the meteorite must be made clear.

It's just that Agatha really doesn't know who this meteorite is.

Then she remembered what Qingkong said to her and the promise she made to Del. Agatha said: "The true identity of Meteor has always been the top secret of the Secret Service, and disclosing his information requires many considerations.

However, when it comes to Princess Del's marriage, we should consider her wishes more. After experiencing the attack, as a sister, I just hope that Del can be happy and not become a political tool."

Agatha wanted to respect Del, but in the eyes of others, she was trying to prevent Del from marrying the meteor.

Reconnecting it with the rumors that had always existed in the palace, Agatha's attitude this time simply admitted that those rumors were correct.

Family affection?

Are there any family ties in the Augustine family?

Fania thought he had caught Agatha's weakness. As long as Del was allowed to marry Meteorite, Meteorite would definitely leave Agatha. He said: "As an empire princess, you should shoulder the responsibilities of being a princess! Your three

The sisters did very well, and none of their husbands participated in the Celtic rebellion.

Meteorite and the Raging Wave City he manages are very, very important to the empire, and I believe Meteorite will treat Dai'er well, and Dai'er will be very happy in Raging Wave City."

Agatha insisted on her promise to Dale.

"If Dai'er is willing to marry the meteor, I will definitely give her my blessing. But if Dai'er is not willing to marry the meteor, I will definitely protect her wishes. The kind-hearted Dai'er is different from us. She deserves our hope but

The happiness I never had.”

Fania was even more certain that this was Agatha's weakness. He said to Emperor Augustine: "Father, as a father and emperor, we all obey your wishes."

If it were in the past, Emperor Augustine would certainly be willing to see the meteor fall to Fania, and perhaps give him the crown prince position after some decent results on the southern front.

But now Augustine is very suspicious of meteors. If Fania relies too much on meteors, it will be detrimental to the empire.

You need to see with your own eyes what kind of person Meteorite is.

Emperor Augustine was very confident in his ability to recognize people.

And thinking about his little daughter, Augustine found it difficult to harden his heart. These days, Daier really comes to spend time with him when he has time, and happily talks about interesting things about her class.

Dale's innocent kindness without any impurities was unknowingly warming Augustine's cold heart.

"What Fania said is right. As an empire princess, while enjoying a distinguished status, she also shoulders heavy responsibilities. But the empire no longer needs a princess to marry in order to maintain stability.

Dai'er will get married when she becomes an adult. She has the right to choose her own happiness, but she must choose within the limits set by me.

The palace will hold a coming-of-age ceremony ball for Dai'er, and all unmarried aristocratic children of the appropriate age in the empire can attend, and I will send my blessings to every couple who are attracted to each other."

It is a tradition for the imperial palace to hold a coming-of-age ceremony dance for every adult prince and princess, but it is absolutely rare to invite all the noble children of the appropriate age in the empire.

Augustine's move was obviously to use Del's name to hold a large-scale blind date dance. Considering that it is wartime, it makes more sense. If done properly, a large amount of benefits can be obtained for the empire.

When they heard that Augustine was going to publicly recruit a son-in-law for Princess Dai'er, all the cabinet ministers suddenly changed their expressions.

Originally, they thought that the eldest prince and the eldest princess would have nothing to do when they competed for the falling star, but in the end they were expecting such a big surprise.

Whose family doesn’t have many young people of the right age!

If you can get Princess Dai'er's favor at the ball, it will be like picking up a big omission in this royal struggle.

Gabriel's chief minister immediately stated that he would make every effort to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony ball held for Princess Dai'er to ensure that the noble children who come to the imperial capital can see the power of the empire.

Neither Fania nor Agatha expected that Augustine would change his chess strategy temporarily. Didn't he always want to marry Del to the falling star?

What does the father want to do?

After the Royal Cabinet meeting ended, all the issues passed were suppressed by Princess Del's coming-of-age ceremony dance.

Marrying a princess is just a fairy tale for most people.

Now, the fairy tale is right in front of you.

Emperor Augustine said that as long as Princess Del likes her, he will give her blessing.

For a time, after receiving the news, all the noble children who were qualified to participate in the ball were gearing up. They received court etiquette training, made up extra classes to study literature and poetry, and invited the most professional dancers to undergo the most rigorous dance practice.

They all dreamed that they could receive this crown falling from the sky.

Luke, who was in Raging Waves City, also received news that the palace was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony ball for Princess Del. One message came from Copper Mulberry Avenue, and the other was a handwritten letter from Agatha forwarded by Kylena.

Agatha said that she could not see through her father's intentions. After all, he had expressed privately many times that he wanted to hand Del to the meteor. This time Fania discussed it openly at the cabinet meeting, and his attitude turned completely into a completely different one.

A direction that has no boundaries.

It's not like his style of doing things.

Luke also couldn't figure out Augustine's intention of doing this. Was it really to attract aristocratic children of suitable age from all over the empire to the imperial capital?

So Luke wrote a reply to Agatha.

It means that no matter what Emperor Augustine's intention is, this is a good thing for Del. She can choose who she likes or who she doesn't like, which is a very important breakthrough.

Then Luke told Agatha that he was in Raging Waves City now and would return to the Imperial Capital after finishing the things here.

Encapsulate the letter and send it out.

Luke, who sneaked back to the City of Raging Waves, lived in the Sisisay Palace of Viscount Iscolan. After sending the letter, Luke went to the private room on the second floor of the opera hall, where he made an appointment with Viscount Iscolan.

Iskran had been waiting here early, and after Luke came in, he asked his men to guard outside.

"Governor, I heard some rumors from the imperial capital that you and the eldest prince jointly carried out an important military operation. Everyone within the Reform Society wants to know your intentions so that we can provide you with operational cooperation."

The Reform Society was established under the banner of the eldest princess. This time the meteorite came so close to the eldest prince, which will inevitably arouse some confusion and discussion.

Luke drank red wine, enjoying the opera on the stage below, and said casually: "There is no sentence in the program of the Reform Society that is loyal to the eldest princess. The Reform Society serves the interests of all members. Everything I do in the imperial capital is from Raging Waves.

We must proceed in the interests of the city and ensure that what Nutau City possesses now and will possess in the future will be recognized by the empire."

Viscount Iskran was shocked, isn't this just following whoever might become the emperor of the empire?

"Your Majesty the Governor..."

Luke turned his head at this time and smiled at Viscount Iskolan, who looked worried and confused: "Convey what I just said to the other members of the Reform Society, so that they can work for the society with peace of mind. There will be no problems in Raging Wave City."

thing."

Viscount Iskolan understood immediately.

The Reform Society is now very large, and not everyone is loyal to the eldest princess. Perhaps most people would like to see Governor Meteor leaning towards the eldest prince.

What the Governor just said was just to send a wrong message to the outside world.

In fact, he is still loyal to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess.

"My lord, I know what to do."

Luke nodded and said: "You alone know. I have an important purpose when I come back this time, which is to form a city militia team."

Viscount Iskran asked in surprise: "Are you going to fight?"

"Isn't there a war going on?"
