Li Huailin was having a headache because the other side did not play by the rules. However, he did not know that the other side was having an even bigger headache. First of all, there was no need to talk about Marina because she had already been captured by Fantine. Fantine was also having a headache. She could not understand why Li Huailin did not agree to their proposal. Didn't you want to be the Emperor of the continent? Why don't we just confer the title and be done with it?
Fantine had already taken control of the palace because this was the weakest period of the human race. The three major legions had already betrayed the country, and there were only 15,000 palace guards left. However, these palace guards were still under Fantine's control because they listened to the orders of the palace. Fantine was now issuing orders for Marina, which meant that they would listen to her. All the ministers had also fled, so no one questioned Fantine's orders.
According to Fantine's thoughts, if Li Huailin agreed to confer the title on them, the possibility of them directly seizing the throne was very high. Don't think that Li Huailin was just conferring the title on them. This conferment was recognized by the entire continent, so it was legal. Once Fantine was conferred the title and became the Empress of the human race, she would naturally be able to directly take over the throne. She would no longer need to use Marina's identity to issue orders.
However, Fantine did not expect that Li Huailin would not confer the title. Wasn't this a good proposal for everyone? Why did he have to confer the title on Anthony? They wanted to directly behead Anthony, so that no one could confer the title on Li Huailin. However, the problem was that they did not know where Anthony was hidden. Marina did not know where Anthony was imprisoned. Anyway, Fantine had searched the entire palace but could not find him. Now, she could only slowly search the city.
Of course, Fantine could not just leave at this time. It seemed like this was her last chance. If she did not succeed this time, she could not think of a better opportunity. However, things were stuck here. How could she agree to let Li Huailin confer the title on her? Of course, Li Huailin didn't even think about this.
Of course, the unfortunate news was that the 4th Legion had also rebelled and was heading towards the main city. Fantine didn't know if Li Huailin would really attack. According to her understanding of Li Huailin, Li Huailin would definitely fight, so she was very nervous now. Her only hope was to find Anthony and kill him during this period of time. Perhaps she could salvage the situation. Of course, she didn't know how important Anthony was to Li Huailin now. If that really happened, Li Huailin would kill her no matter what.
Just as they were anxiously looking for Anthony, another troublesome matter came. Li Huailin sent someone to urge them again. Of course, the person Li Huailin was urging was Marina. Li Huailin didn't know that Marina was also under house arrest. Could he let him see Marina? Definitely not. However, this gave Fantine a chance. So, Fantine left Bord alone. Of course, at this time, Bord would only think that Marina didn't care about him. Bord couldn't just go back like this. He hadn't completed his mission, so he could only wait … At this moment, Fantine also sent someone to contact Bord. "Lord Bord, please understand our situation.
"Lord Bord, please understand our situation. We are truly loyal to you. I was originally a member of the Empire's royal family, but the Murat Family temporarily seized the throne. If we can be conferred a title by the Emperor of the Continent, then we can take back the throne. Of course, we will also serve under the Emperor of the Continent. Isn't this a good thing for all of us?" Fonseline personally explained to Bord.
"I understand …" Bord obviously knew about Fantine's petition. He was originally from the Empire, so of course, he knew that Fantine was the princess of the former Empire. To be honest, it was possible for her to be conferred a title by Li Huailin. However, the problem was that he didn't know why Li Huailin didn't consider this problem. "But Your Highness Fantine, you are not royalty anymore. Let's not talk about whether His Majesty has considered this matter. Even if you are conferred a title by His Majesty, how are you going to seize the throne? Let me tell you first, we won't help you. "
Bord didn't say anything definite, which made Fantine feel like she still had a chance. So, Fantine said, "Since I can say this, of course, I have some guarantees. Now that the human race is very weak, we can also enter the palace. Once we are conferred a title, of course, we can immediately control Marina …"
"Hmm?" Bord was slightly taken aback when he heard this. Then, he looked at Fantine strangely as if he suddenly thought of something. "Wait … could it be …"
Just as he was about to say something, Bord stopped himself and hurriedly said, "I see. If that's the case, I think it sounds really good. This way, there is indeed a chance of success. How about this, I will go back and discuss it with His Majesty and see if it will work."
"It's good that Lord Bord understands." Fantine immediately nodded.
"Alright. Then, Your Highness Fantine, please wait here for my news. I will be back soon." Bord was about to leave after he finished speaking, but was stopped by Ames just as he reached the door.
"Lord Bord … I remember that your Majesty gave you a mission to communicate with the human royal family. You haven't even completed your mission, and you are in a hurry to go back now?" Ames asked with narrowed eyes.
"Isn't there an emergency that needs to be reported? Moreover, it's not like the human royal family doesn't want to see me. I might as well go back and report first," Bord immediately said.
"Ames?" Fantine also looked at Ames strangely. Wasn't the situation going well now? Didn't Bord agree to speak up for them?
"This guy seems to have found out," Ames said. "We can't let him go now."
"Hmm?" Fantine was slightly taken aback. Did she say too much? She immediately looked at Bord.
"What are you guys talking about? What did you find out? " Bord hurriedly pretended not to know. Yes, Bord actually suddenly understood. Of course, it was Fantine's hint. In fact, Bord couldn't understand why Marlina wouldn't agree to Li Huailin's suggestion. It was a good thing for both sides. It was too strange. However, Fantine's reminder just now made him think of a possibility — Marlina was also under house arrest. Previously, the humans had just reprimanded Li Huailin, and Fantine's letter had just arrived. Comparing both sides, it felt like Li Huailin was biased towards Fantine. Connecting the dots, the more Bord thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Of course, he had to report this to Li Huailin immediately. He didn't expect Ames to be so observant.
Bord wasn't a weakling either. As he spoke, his body had already started moving. As soon as he finished playing dumb, his body flew out. He was quite confident in his speed, but he didn't expect Ames to be even faster. Bord had just moved when he was pressed to the ground by a hand. His opponent's strength was so great that Bord spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Sure enough." Ames also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was prepared. Looking at Bord's speed, he might not be able to catch up if he left the door. However, Bord's martial arts skills were not at Ames's level. Ames followed up with another punch and knocked Bord out.
So although Bord found out what was going on, he was also captured. Of course, there was no news of him after that. Meanwhile, Li Huailin kept waiting until it was night time.
"Too slow!" Li Huailin slammed the table. "Damn it, it's been five hours. Even if it's not successful, at least call someone back to report it."
"Don't tell me he's been killed." The one who spoke was Li Huailin's second wife, Ceci. Now, of course, she was helping Li Huailin deal with the so-called state affairs. Although Li Huailin said he didn't care, some things were still sent to him. So, Li Huailin could only drag Ceci out to help him deal with these things that he didn't understand.
"Really?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. He then rubbed his chin. "Marina shouldn't be that suicidal … But if he's really killed, then he'll be in big trouble …"
"Let's just attack. The humans have been dragging on for a whole day. If this continues, it'll be a huge blow to your credibility," Ceci said seriously.
"Hey hey, you know about credibility?" Li Huailin was a little surprised.
"Sister Ruoyan taught me that," Ceci said. "Anyway, once the troops arrive tomorrow, we'll attack. Now that you're the emperor, you have to have this kind of courage. If they don't surrender, then we'll fight. As for the humans, I think the former royal family's suggestion is not bad. Princess Fantine."
"No, no, no … That's not important. What's important is Anthony," Li Huailin said.
"…" Ceci stared at Li Huailin for a long time without saying anything. However, there was a strange look in his eyes.
"What's with that look? I'm not saying that Anthony is important. I'm saying that Anthony is very important to a mission of mine, okay?" Li Huailin facepalmed. The main thing was that Ceci was looking at him as if he was gay. "The problem is that only Marina knows where Anthony is locked up."
"Why don't we let Nemoya try?" Ceci suggested after some thought.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. "Wait … How could I forget about this? We still have someone who can read minds and control people … That seems to work. Where's Nemoya? Hurry up and find her. We'll go to the palace now and try. "
