That night, a carriage drove along the streets of Oriska. The Imperial Capital was indeed worthy of being the Imperial Capital. Even after a series of wars, the city was still brightly lit at night. A few large night markets were even more bustling, and the hawkers' shouts could be heard a few streets away. However, the street the carriage was driving on was spacious and quiet. After all, this was the Imperial Capital's noble district. The people going in and out were all noble lords and ladies, and almost all of them were in carriages. Even if there were people walking on the streets, they would still be elegant. The men were dressed neatly, and the women were dressed in westerns and holding umbrellas, decorating the city under the night sky.
Allen used his hand to gently lift the curtains and said, "Look at these people. They don't know that the entire universe is about to change. Instead, they live as they please and are happy. Unlike us, who have to run all over the place and don't know if we can stop this calamity in the end. "
Tonight, he was dressed splendidly, wearing the duke's ornaments designed for him by the royal tailor. Today, not only did Julian make Allen the empire's fifth grand duke, he also agreed to Allen's army heading north, and all the cities would open up a path for him. As for the imperial army, Julian said that he could gather 100,000 troops at most. He really couldn't take out any more.
Allen didn't ask further. He also knew that the empire was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Fortunately, the Coiling Dragon army had already crossed the sea and returned to the east. Otherwise, Julian wouldn't even be able to take out these 100,000 men. Calculating the time, he would probably stay in the Imperial Capital for about a week. After all, the silver-winged assassin and his Burning Legion would take at least three to four days to rush over from the Southern Territory. Moreover, he had to give Julian time to mobilize the army, so this week could be considered very rushed.
When he left the Twilight Castle, he received an invitation. It was an invitation from the Boleyn Family, signed by Elizabeth. It was the young Duchess Yanhua of the Boleyn Family. When Allen went north that day, he had spent some time with the Duchess, who had assumed the name Elise. During this period, he had also helped her resolve her crisis. In this Imperial Capital, this Archduchess could be considered one of Allen's few true friends.
Right now, this carriage was heading towards the Boleyn Family's Grand Duke's Mansion in the Imperial Capital. Other than Allen, Lucy and Lola were also in the carriage.
Lucy was originally the Empress Daughter of Adahua Planet. Now, she was wearing a silver-white dress and a crystal diamond crown on her head. Her entire temperament was elegant and dazzling as she sat in the car. Lola, on the other hand, was a powerhouse who had already stepped into the thirtieth level. Coupled with her flamboyant wildness, she looked as scorching as a raging flame in her red dress.
The two women each had their own characteristics, and their looks were equally matched. Each had their own merits.
Hearing Allen's words, Lucy smiled and said, "Father always told me that the royal family is born noble. Born with a superior life than the common people, our lives are built on the toil of commoners and even slaves. Therefore, as a member of the royal family who enjoys the fruits of their labor, it is their duty to protect them from the scourge of war and even all disasters. "
"This is the responsibility and obligation of a superior." Lucy said seriously, "Isn't there a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility?"
Allen spread out his hands and said, "I have never thought of shirking my responsibility. After all, several generations of the Sons of Dusk have worked together to lay out a glimmer of hope on me. Regardless of success or failure, I will continue. However, I was thinking that I would at least have to drag the two of them into the water, otherwise it would be too easy for them. "
Lola rolled her eyes and said, "Black Emperor Frius is on Agares, but it is unknown whether he can be persuaded. Demon King Spenak has long since disappeared. Where are you going to find him?"
'"I have some confidence in persuading Frius. As for Spenak, he is so interested in the creator that I will always find a way to lure him out. If His Majesty Orfasis was added, then he would have a greater chance of stopping the dusk of the universe.
”
Lucy nodded and said, "Adahua Planet will definitely invest all its strength in this matter to stop it. I believe my father thinks so too."
"Anyway, after the matter of Planet Heaven is over, I will find a time to visit His Majesty. Now he shouldn't object to his daughter being with me, right? "Allen blinked.
Lucy blushed and snorted, "That's hard to say.
”
The few people in the carriage were talking, but the carriage had already arrived at the Boleyn Clan's Archduke's Mansion. The Archduke's Mansion was actually a manor. After the carriage entered the door and handed over the invitation letter, a servant led the carriage around the front garden and to the back of the main building.
The Archduke's Mansion was holding a banquet today. The garden was decorated with lanterns, a band was playing, and a long table was filled with delicacies for the guests to enjoy at will. There was a great deal of noise in the garden, with crowds of children shouting and yelling. However, in reality, there were only ordinary guests in the garden. The truly important guests were all invited to the banquet hall in the main building.
As for Allen, the carriage took him directly to the back of the main building, and he was greeted by Stam, one of the top ten Saints. The old man, who now called himself the Grand Duke's butler, was very happy to see Allen. He bowed and said, "Archduke Allen, Elise has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me."
Behind them, Lucy and Lola quietly pinched Allen's waist, naturally blaming him for hooking up with the Archduke. Allen felt helpless, but he couldn't say anything on the surface. He immediately entered the main building with Stam and arrived at a study on the third floor. Lucy and Lola looked at each other and said to Stam, "Is there anything fun here? Let's not go in. Don't disturb them."
Allen spread out his hands helplessly.
Stam laughed and said, "Yes, yes. Please follow me, ladies. I just bought a few Eastern Dragon Horses from the Ocean Chamber of Commerce not long ago. They are very powerful. If you two like them, you can take them away. "
Lucy and Lola walked away. Allen knocked on the door and a low female voice sounded from inside, "Come in, the door isn't locked."
Allen pushed open the door and entered. The study room was bright. A figure with his back to Allen was tiptoeing to get a book from the bookshelf. It was a woman dressed in men's clothes. Her figure was already tall enough, and she looked even taller when she wore men's clothes. However, the book at the top of the bookshelf was clearly out of her reach, so Allen walked over and helped her take it down. Then, he handed her the book that looked a little old.
Elise, who had not seen him for a long time, took it and said, "Thank you." Then she said, "I thought you would never come back."
His tone was a little sad.
Allen smiled faintly, "There are some things I have to deal with, and I have to deal with them for a long time. But I still came back. How are you? "
