Melglings should be fine. Although he was also injured, he was still a Saint-tier warrior. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't die. Anyway, Li Huailin entered the palace with a group of soldiers. They didn't encounter any resistance along the way. There were some royal guards in the palace, but they were all his own people, not the rebels. When they saw Li Huailin's situation, they consciously joined Li Huailin's team.
When they arrived at the palace gate, Li Huailin was followed by a group of subordinates. It felt like they were here to force him to abdicate. Who knew that Li Huailin was really here to save people? This time, Fantine didn't run. She probably thought that this was her last chance. Even if she left, she couldn't do anything else, so she stayed. This time, she stood in the palace hall and waited for Li Huailin. With her was Marlina. Anyway, it was useless to catch Marlina, so she was released.
Li Huailin also asked all the soldiers to wait at the entrance of the palace hall. Li Huailin walked into the hall with Dernate and Nemoya. Of course, he saw Fantine and Marlina inside.
"Okay, okay, it's finally over, right?" Li Huailin said. "What's going on? Did I have to come here uninvited?"
"There's one thing I have to tell you first. I was the one who planned this whole thing." Fantine looked at Li Huailin and said, "The queen …"
"I already know what happened." Li Huailin waved his hand. "In the second half, it was indeed you who caused trouble for me, but in the first half, it was Her Majesty who caused trouble for me. You two just had to make things that were going smoothly so troublesome. Look, you've helped me create a lot of trouble, and now it's a mess."
"Didn't you become the continent's emperor?" Marlina said directly.
"You think it's a good thing? I can't be bothered with this mess of things." Li Huailin said, "If you didn't do this, I would've just asked Anthony for a mission. But you've screwed everyone over. What's in it for you?"
"I thought your ambition was to become the emperor of the human race. I didn't expect you to be even more ambitious …" Marina said.
"What ambition do I have? I already said that I don't want to be the emperor." Li Huailin felt wronged. "Alright, alright. Where's Anthony? Hurry up and let him go."
"Put this matter on me." Fantine suddenly said, "Anyway, I can't escape this time. If that's the case, I might as well let my sister …"
"I don't care. Does Anthony know about this?" Li Huailin asked.
Hearing Li Huailin say that he didn't care, Marlina was shocked. Li Huailin actually wanted to let her go. After thinking about it, Marlina asked warily, "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. How serious is your paranoia?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "I say, Your Majesty Empress, think about whether or not I have something on you right now. This is enough to kill you."
"Yes." Marlina nodded.
"Since I'm like you, what's the point of having a second one?" Li Huailin said. "I just want to save myself some trouble. I don't want to ask for anything from you. I have enough on my plate now. I don't want to look for more. Let's just treat it as the rebel army's doing."
"Anthony has been in a coma for the past few days. He probably doesn't know that I did it," Marlina said after some thought.
"That's good. Not many people know about this now. You can take care of things here," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Your Highness, is this … okay?" Delnate, who was behind him, stepped forward and asked.
"The empress isn't trying to usurp the throne. She just wants to get rid of me." Li Huailin spread his hands. "Think about it yourself. For Anthony, which of the two answers is better: the rebels harmed him or the queen harmed him?"
"This …" Delnate thought about it. After all, Marlina didn't want to become the empress herself. She just wanted to help Anthony. Although her methods were a little extreme, if he thought about it this way … it was better to keep this a secret. But to Delnate, hiding it from Anthony …
"Okay, okay. Anyway, the rebel army sneaked into the palace, kidnapped the emperor and empress, and framed me, a loyal minister of the country, to overthrow the country. Then, I, the great hero, stepped forward and saved the king and empress. That's the plot. What do you think?" Li Huailin said, spreading his hands.
"This … Yes … Your Highness." Delnate thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The whole thing finally came to an end. The final result was similar to what Li Huailin said, which was to push all the blame onto the rebel army. Anthony was rescued, and Fantine's people were arrested. Of course, Li Huailin's side was also vindicated. Not only was he vindicated, but he also instantly became a great hero, although this role didn't make Li Huailin feel very comfortable.
Yes, after the whole thing was over, the Favorability of Li Huailin's side began to be calculated. When he was framed, Li Huailin was temporarily considered an enemy because he was at war with the humans, so his Favorability did not change. But now that he was vindicated, the humans were on his side again. Once he became a hero, his Favorability of the entire race plummeted. Fortunately, Li Huailin had done a lot of evil deeds, so his accumulated Favorability of Li Huailin was still positive. Otherwise, the humans would probably turn against him right after the calculation.
Even so, many people still poked at Li Huailin's back, secretly scolding Li Huailin for saving their Empire. Why didn't he rebel? Rebellion was obviously a good thing.
Therefore, Li Huailin felt that he had suffered a great loss. After working so hard for so long, he didn't gain any benefits, but instead caused a lot of trouble. The most troublesome thing was the matter of the Continent's Emperor. Although it sounded good, it wasn't the case at all. There were a lot of troublesome things, such as what to do with the human army.
Anthony was rescued, but the three major human legions were now under Li Huailin's name. This was really too troublesome. One couldn't leave the humans without a single soldier, right? But it was also very troublesome to return them. At least, a lot of people under Li Huailin didn't agree.
"No, no, no … Geert, think about it carefully. Do we need an army?" Li Huailin was trying to reason with Geert, who had just become a Cabinet Minister.
"Of course we do." Geert was obviously against sending the three legions back.
"What do we need? Think about it, which force on the continent doesn't submit to us? The six major countries have already submitted to us, right? Why do we need an army? Besides, even if we need an army, we can just ask the countries under us to send troops. We don't need an army, right?" Li Huailin persuaded.
"This …" Geert thought for a while and felt that it did make sense. "But if we have an army …"
"We can build an army ourselves." Li Huailin said, "We can build another army in our name. Anyway, we can just call it the Continent's Emperor's Army or something like that. Let's return the three legions first."
"This … seems like a good idea." Geert thought for a while and nodded.
"Phew … it's finally done." Li Huailin breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Anthony and said, "Alright, alright. With this, there shouldn't be any major problems with the Human Race."
"Cabinet …" Anthony was a little curious about Li Huailin's internal cabinet system. It seemed to be quite useful. After all, it was quite tiring for him to be the Emperor. Wouldn't it be much easier to find a few people to help him?
"Don't do it." Li Huailin could tell what Anthony was thinking, so he immediately said, "You're different from me. It's more troublesome to deal with this kind of thing. I'm doing it because I have better control over it, and I'm not afraid of any accidents. You're different. Even if nothing happens to you, in the future, if your descendants are weak and powerful, you'll be in big trouble immediately. So I think you'd better not do this."
"Is that so …" Anthony nodded slightly. "But Huailin, you're really amazing. You actually managed to get the entire continent's forces to side with you."
"It only looks like it." Li Huailin said. "I'm just the Emperor in name. Do you really think that the Beastmen or other races will listen to me? Alright, alright. It's almost done. I'm really annoyed. "
"Your Majesty, about the coronation ceremony." Just as he finished speaking, Geert came over.
"I'll leave it to you. Just make the arrangements and inform me of the time. I trust you very, very much, ok?" Li Huailin immediately said. "Also, I only have one request. The coronation ceremony must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. I hate extravagance, ok?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Although there were many things to complain about, Geert didn't say anything and directly nodded.
Just as they were talking, Sodero walked over from the side. Li Huailin returned to the Duke's Mansion this time to bring Anthony to Sodero. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back. There were a lot of things to do, it was simply endless. If it wasn't for Sodero, he would have already run away.
"Your Majesty." Sodero had also submitted to Li Huailin, so of course, he called Li Huailin His Majesty. Although his current status wasn't confirmed yet, he could be considered a subordinate of the continent's Emperor. Sodero felt that this arrangement wasn't bad.
"Alright, alright. Hurry up and explain the situation here." Li Huailin immediately said.
