The situation here was a little beyond his imagination, so much so that Kartheros couldn't even react until the situation was confirmed. This was way too different from what he had imagined. In his opinion, this should've been in the bag. After all, even the Empress was on his side, and there didn't seem to be any other competitors. He was also the Deputy Marshal of the 1st Legion, and he even contributed to the betrayal of the 1st Legion. No matter what, it should be his turn. He didn't expect someone to suddenly appear and snatch the position of the Marshal away from him. That's right, even though he had already lost, Kartheros didn't know how he lost. The situation was a little too strange.
"Could it be that Marina found out about it?" After thinking for a while, Kartheros suddenly thought of this. Indeed, his evidence was really lost. This was also something that Kartheros discovered not long ago. In fact, that thing had been hidden in a secret place in his mansion for a long time. Usually, Karcylos would go to check on it regularly. After all, it was something important. The last time he saw it was a few months ago. After the war with the Dwarves broke out, the 1st Legion naturally participated in the war. As the deputy marshal, Karcylos naturally followed the army. As a result, he didn't return home for a long time. Not long ago, when he returned home, he found that his secret room had been broken into, and that important box was missing.
Karcylos immediately sent people to investigate and found some clues. He also found a few capable people, and they were all killed. However, the box couldn't be found, and he suspected that it had been moved out. This made Karcylos very worried. It just so happened that Marina contacted him, which was why he hurriedly launched this series of events.
This series of plans had been planned by Karcylos for a long time. In fact, he had already told Marina about it, but Marina refused to carry it out. Due to the continuous war, Karcylos could only wait for a while. However, Marina took the initiative to mention this matter to him. Of course, Karcylos agreed to carry it out, and immediately, Wilham was arrested.
But he didn't expect things to develop to this point. What was going on? Thinking about it, could it be Marina's plan? After all, not many people knew about this. It was possible that Marina herself had sent someone to steal the evidence and suggested that he carry out the plan. Then, she asked the Duke of Aquitaine to kill him.
Kartheros suddenly felt that he understood the truth of the matter. Cold sweat instantly dripped down his forehead. This Marina was really vicious.
"What should I do?" On the other side, Kartheros immediately began to think of a solution. Now that there was no evidence, his only advantage was that he knew the truth of this matter, but … would anyone believe him if he said it out? Kartheros didn't think so, but he couldn't just wait for death.
"In that case, I can only look for Anthony." Suddenly, Kartheros came to a decision. Because the Queen wanted to mess with him, he could only look for the Emperor. It was useless to look for anyone else.
"Hey, I'm calling you." While he was thinking, a voice suddenly came from beside him. Kartheros was a little stunned. When he came back to his senses, he turned around and found that the court meeting had actually ended. Of course, Anthony had also left. The person who called him just now was the Duke of Aquitaine, Li Huailin.
"What … what's wrong? The Duke of Aquitaine. " Kartheros lowered his head slightly, not daring to say anything to Li Huailin. To be honest, although Li Huailin had taken his position, Kartheros didn't know why he couldn't be angry at Li Huailin. Instead, he felt that Li Huailin was a good person. On the other hand, Kartheros was really a little resentful towards Queen Marina.
"They want you to do something." Li Huailin said, "There are so many things that haven't been solved yet. There are more than a dozen people in the First Legion waiting to be interrogated, and there's also Wilham. Why do you think they want you?"
"Oh, right." Kartheros nodded. "So … where should we go now?"
"Let's go to the barracks of the First Legion first," Li Huailin said. "Let's stabilize the situation there first."
"Hmm." Kartheros nodded.
"I say, Earl Kartheros." At this time, Li Huailin also came up to him and said while walking, "You see, I actually sympathize with you very much. I've already said that you are incompetent and looked down on you like trash, but in the end, I was still given the position of the acting Legion Commander. Sigh …"
"Your Excellency the Duke, I will remember your praise and guidance." Kartheros nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I don't hate you. In fact, I'm very grateful to you."
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded in satisfaction. Anyway, he had already received the notification that Kartheros's favorability level had increased. He didn't want to deal with Kartheros now because he wanted to know if Kartheros knew the whereabouts of the last secret treasure. Initially, Li Huailin wanted to interrogate Kartheros privately, but since Kartheros's favorability level had increased, Li Huailin decided to try another method.
After thinking for a while, Li Huailin said, "I also feel a little sorry for this time. Speaking of which, when I first saw you, I felt that we were fated to meet. We should be good friends, right?"
"Of course, Your Excellency, I also respect you very much." Kartheros immediately said. Of course, since Kartheros's favorability level was almost full, he naturally respected Zhang Heng enough.
"In that case, Earl Kartheros, if you have any difficulties, you can discuss it with me. We feel like old friends when we first met. If there's anything, I might be able to help you," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm?" Kartheros was slightly stunned when he heard this sentence. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration as if a good idea had flashed through his mind.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin saw Kartheros suddenly stop and asked with a smile.
"Oh … this …" Although Kartheros thought of something, he still hesitated. He needed to think about it for a while. He couldn't just say it out of impulse. After all, this was also a big matter. Although he trusted Li Huailin very much, he still needed to think about this kind of thing.
Following Li Huailin all the way, the two arrived at the teleportation point. They took the teleportation formation to the first legion's encampment. As soon as they landed, two of Kartheros's subordinates, Kartheros and Ley, came up to them. When they saw Kartheros returning, they immediately asked, "Deputy Marshal, how is it?"
"His Highness has decided that the new acting legion commander will be the Duke of Aquitaine," Kartheros said.
"What!" Both of them were stunned. Then, their faces immediately darkened. "How could this be!"
"Someone wants to deal with me," Kartheros said immediately.
Of course, both of them looked at Li Huailin. Isn't the person who wants to deal with you the Duke of Aquitaine in front of them?
"Sir, why is he here?" Both of them thought for a while and asked in a low voice. Why would Li Huailin, who had just stolen Kartheros's position, come back with him?
"His Highness has sent the Duke of Aquitaine to deal with the follow-up issues of the first legion, which is to interrogate those sergeants and deal with Wilham," Kartheros said.
"Isn't this bad, Your Highness?" Kartheros said immediately. "If this matter is really thoroughly investigated, we will be involved sooner or later. Besides, according to the previous situation, the Duke of Aquitaine will definitely find a way to get rid of us."
"The Duke of Aquitaine will get rid of us? That's impossible, "Kartheros said immediately.
"Huh?" Both of them were slightly stunned. Why is it impossible?
"But … this matter does need to be dealt with a little bit." On the other side, Carcyrus also agreed with this view. Although he trusted Li Huailin, this matter couldn't be exposed. Otherwise, even if the Duke of Aquitaine and Li Huailin got along well, he would still be in trouble if things went according to the official procedures.
After thinking for a while, Kartheros thought of the previous idea. Of course … this idea was to talk to Li Huailin about this matter. Now that Malina wanted to deal with him, the first thing Kartheros thought of was to look for Anthony. However, this wasn't a good idea. At least, Kartheros felt that Anthony was even more ruthless than him. Now that Anthony had lost his memory, once he remembered it and knew that Kartheros didn't have any evidence, he might be the first to kill Kartheros. Therefore, Kartheros thought of the second idea, which was to look for Li Huailin.
He trusted Li Huailin very much. He felt that Li Huailin would believe what he said, even if there was no evidence. If he could convince Li Huailin, he felt that it was still possible to go against Malina.
Since the matter was so urgent, Kartheros had no choice but to give it a try. Thinking of this, Kartheros turned to Li Huailin and said with a little seriousness, "Duke of Aquitaine."
"What's wrong? Can we start the interrogation?" Li Huailin asked.
"Please wait for a while. I have something very important to discuss with the Duke of Aquitaine," Kartheros said very seriously.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. He immediately knew what Kartheros was going to say. He didn't expect it to be so fast. Li Huailin thought that he would have to wait a little longer. "Very important. Alright, let's find a place to talk."
