Li Huailin agreed with Anthony's opinion. In fact, even if Anthony didn't take the initiative to stall for time, Li Huailin would still help him stall for time. He originally wanted to say, "But I need you to think about it carefully. Why don't you make a decision tomorrow?", but he didn't have to say that now.
Li Huailin didn't want the position of the 1st Legion Marshal at all. This position wasn't attractive to him at all. In fact, he was already the highest military figure in the entire empire. What he needed now was Kartheros's actions.
Yes, Li Huailin was almost certain that Kartheros would take action. Kartheros had done so many things in order to obtain the position of the 1st Legion Marshal, he couldn't just watch Li Huailin take the fruits of his labor. If Kartheros really chose Li Huailin, Kartheros would be kicked out of the position. Obviously, this was impossible. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Kartheros would of course do everything he could, which of course included …
After walking out of the palace gate, Li Huailin saw Kartheros walking outside anxiously. Li Huailin smiled and shouted to the side, "Reggie."
"Yes, Your Majesty." A shadow flashed, and Li Huailin's knight, Reggie, immediately appeared beside Li Huailin. Because Li Huailin had asked Reggie to keep an eye on Kartheros, Li Huailin had also noticed that Reggie had secretly informed him about this. Since he couldn't enter the palace, he was now waiting for Li Huailin at the entrance of the palace.
"Follow him. If he meets anyone, inform me immediately," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Sir Overlord." Reggie nodded and immediately followed Kartheros's direction.
After giving his orders, Li Huailin stood at the palace gate and waited for news. He thought that Kartheros wouldn't keep him waiting for too long. During this time, many ministers wanted to talk to Li Huailin, some wanted to support him, and some wanted to build a relationship with him. However, they were all scolded by Li Huailin. It seemed that the Duke of Aquitaine was in a particularly bad mood today, so the ministers decided not to provoke him.
After waiting for a while, Li Huailin finally received a response. An NPC that Li Huailin had never seen before appeared before him. The NPC looked at Li Huailin, who could only stand at the palace's entrance. He then walked over and said, "There's a person named Reggie over there. He asked me to give this to you."
Li Huailin took the NPC and looked at it. It turned out that it was an address. It seemed that Reggie had discovered something, but he didn't dare to leave. He probably found someone to deliver the message to.
Li Huailin nodded and gave the person who delivered the message 2 gold coins. He then walked towards the address. When he was near the address, Reggie's figure flashed and appeared in front of Li Huailin.
"Sir Overlord, Kartheros entered this house, and I saw a carriage arriving here. I immediately sent someone to inform you," said Reggie as he pointed at the house in front of him.
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded. The house that Reggie was pointing at was located at the end of the street. It was also a secluded house in the inner city. Li Huailin could clearly see a carriage parked in front of the house. Beside the carriage were two coachmen who were nervously looking around. Of course, they couldn't see Li Huailin from their position.
"The person who entered the house is wearing a long robe. Judging from her figure, it should be a woman. However, I couldn't see her face clearly," said Reggie.
"Mhm, got it." Li Huailin nodded. Li Huailin knew very well who the person who entered the house was. In fact, this wasn't the first time Li Huailin had encountered such a situation.
"Sir Overlord, what should we do?" asked Reggie. Of course, he was already prepared to barge into the house with Li Huailin.
"Nothing for now," said Li Huailin.
"Yes." Reggie nodded. "Sir Overlord, are you planning to catch a bigger fish?"
"What bigger fish? The fish is already inside, "said Li Huailin." But I don't want either of them. I want the gems. "
"Yes." Reggie didn't quite understand, but he still nodded.
The two of them didn't take any action. After a while, someone came out from the house. Both of them looked at the person and realized that it was Kartheros.
"Sir Overlord, he's out. What should we do now?" Reggie immediately reminded. Of course, he meant to ask if they should continue following him or stop him.
"Don't worry about him." Li Huailin waved his hand. "Alright, follow me inside to find the person."
"Yes."
Li Huailin swaggered out from his hiding place and walked towards the courtyard. Of course, the sudden appearance of the two people immediately alerted the two coachmen at the door. However, when they saw that the person leading the group was Li Huailin, they were slightly taken aback. Then … they didn't know what to do. No one expected Li Huailin to appear here. This was a little troublesome. They could only hope that Li Huailin was just passing by and not looking for trouble.
Unfortunately, their hopes were quickly dashed because Li Huailin stopped directly at the entrance of the courtyard. The two felt a headache coming on, but they still reluctantly went up to stop him. "Sir, this is a private residence. Please don't …"
"You two should know who I am, right?" Li Huailin said with a smile. "I can enter the palace without any prior notice, but you say that I can't enter this house? Are you kidding me?"
Yes, Li Huailin's words made the two speechless. There wasn't a place in the main city that Li Huailin couldn't enter. No one dared to stop him, but now … how could they not stop him?
Li Huailin didn't care what they were thinking. In any case, he directly walked inside. The two hesitated for a moment and decided to think of a way to stop him first. However, Reggie, who was behind Li Huailin, was already prepared. As soon as the two stepped forward, Reggie's hand had already reached for his sword. In just a second, Reggie felt that he could directly cut off their hands.
"Wait!" At this moment, a female voice suddenly sounded from inside the house. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, including Reggie who was about to draw his sword. He was a little stunned because he seemed to know the voice inside … It was a bit like Queen Marina's voice.
"Want to talk?" Li Huailin smiled and said to the robed woman who walked out.
"Come in." Ma Linna thought for a while, then nodded.
"Hmm, wait at the door." Li Huailin turned his head and said to Reggie, then directly walked in. This time, of course, no one stopped him.
Walking into the house, it was still the same place as the last time they met. The robed woman immediately took off her hood when she entered the house. Of course, the person who appeared in front of Li Huailin was the current Queen, Marina.
"You followed Karcylos?" Marina gritted her teeth and asked. "What did you hear?"
"Nothing, but I can basically guess the content." Li Huailin said. "She probably wants you to recommend Karcylos to be the temporary head of the 1st Legion in front of Anthony. Am I right?"
"You are already the Marshal of the 2nd Legion and the Grand Marshal. It is impossible for me to hand over the 1st Legion to you. I will recommend Karcylos to be the head of the 1st Legion." Marina immediately said.
"Oh? That's what you think? " Li Huailin smiled. "But I have a question. Since that's what you think, why did you come out to meet Karcylos secretly? Do you think it's strange? "
"That's not what we're talking about. Of course, what we're talking about has nothing to do with you." Marina immediately said.
"Really? I don't think so. " Li Huailin said, "First of all, you were probably talking about Wilham. Kartheros wanted you to be sure that you would help him get rid of Wilham so that he could become the acting army commander and eventually become the army commander. He also wanted to ask you if Anthony found out that you had dealt with the so-called evidence. After that, he left in satisfaction. Am I right?"
"You … You saw it?" Marina asked in surprise.
"I told you I didn't need to see it at all." Li Huailin smiled. "It's just a simple guess."
"No matter what …"
"No matter what, I don't have any evidence to sue you, right?" Li Huailin smiled. "Anthony won't believe it anyway, right? Is that what you think?"
"Of course …" Marina nodded. "No matter how much Anthony trusts you, this matter …"
"He will believe me too." Li Huailin smiled. "Because I have evidence."
"Evidence? What evidence? "Marina asked immediately.
"What did Karcylos threaten you with?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Marina immediately said.
"Oh? It seems that Karcylos forgot to tell you that he accidentally lost the evidence in his hand. "Li Huailin said.
"What?" Ma Linna was stunned.
"Yes, unfortunately, this thing happened to fall into the hands of the person you don't want to see the most." Li Huailin said as he took out the piece of paper and waved it in front of Marina. "This is really shocking news. I didn't expect Anthony to forget such a big thing. I really want to know what Anthony's expression will be when he finds out. It's definitely very interesting."
