Early in the morning, Archduke Miang brought his son, Nopeter, to the inn. Allen had expected the two of them to arrive. He had asked Lucy to prepare a gift as compensation for letting Belmond kill his way into the Archduke's Mansion last night. In his few years in Babylon, Allen had already thoroughly understood the affairs of the nobles. Even though Planet Heaven was very different from Babylon, some of its essence was still the same. For example, Grand Duke Miang's face. Although Grand Duke Miang brought his son to apologize, if Allen continued to maintain a high profile. Of course, this old man wouldn't say anything on the surface, but he would definitely be indignant in his heart. But now that he had accepted Allen's gift, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and he had only lost seven points. As long as he thought about Allen's strength, the remaining three points would not be able to explode.
After that, Allen and Miang also talked about some cooperation in the livelihood of the people. The Shiley family's wealth was the best among the four dukes. What did they rely on? Of course, they relied on business. Allen had talked to him about cooperation that was beneficial to both sides. It was because of Allen that Grand Duke Miang had reduced his profits by three points and earned less than usual, but he had a relationship with Allen. Grand Duke Miang was well aware of the pros and cons of this.
So when Allen sent him out of the inn, the remaining unhappiness disappeared. Instead, he taught his son a lesson and asked Nopeter to learn more from Allen. Nopeter could only agree repeatedly.
After sending off Grand Duke Miang and his son, another carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn. Before Allen could return to the inn, he saw Nabott get off the carriage. Allen hurriedly greeted him. There weren't many people in the imperial capital who still regarded them as friends like Nabott.
"Prime Minister, why did you come? It should be me who visited you.
"Allen said sincerely.
Nabott smiled and waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. It's still early to come out of the palace. I'll come to Lord Allen for a stroll. Was that carriage from the Shiley family? If I'm not mistaken, Grand Duke Miang should have brought his son to apologize to you. "
"Does the Prime Minister know about last night as well?" Allen gestured for Nabott to enter the hall with him.
Nabott sighed softly, "Everyone is staring at you now, Lord Allen. I don't care, but that person is not very comfortable looking at you."
Allen, of course, knew that he was talking about Julian, so he said: "I went a little too far last night. Grand Duke Miang came to visit just now, so I made some compensation."
"That's good."
When they arrived at the study, Nabott sat down and said, "Actually, these are just small matters. I'm here for something else."
"Oh, I don't know what it is that requires you to come here personally, Prime Minister." Allen asked for tea and sat down.
"Today, His Majesty asked me to meet him in the study early and talked about you, Lord Allen. His Majesty is very curious about Lord Allen's origins, and he gave me this book. "Nabott took out a red book and placed it on the table.
On the cover of Allen's book was written the title "Miscellaneous Treatise of Heaven and Man" in gold lacquer. In this way, Nabott's meaning was obvious. Julian suspected that he was a celestial and must have investigated his origins.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid His Majesty will be unhappy if you come to see me so directly after just meeting His Majesty."
Allen took the book and casually flipped through a few pages.
Nabott sighed, "His Majesty did it on purpose. He wanted to borrow my mouth to let Lord Allen know about it. As for what it was for, I didn't dare to speculate. If that's not the case, then it would be more appropriate for His Majesty to discuss it with Roderick. That's why I came to you. I just did what he wanted. "
"Then I understand. No matter what, thank you very much for coming here, Prime Minister." Allen closed the book and smiled.
Nabott took a sip of tea and stood up. "Then I'll go back first. I have a lot of things to take care of."
Allen put down the book and said, "I'll see you off.
”
As Nabott was about to get into the carriage, he said, "Lord Allen, no matter who you are, I will always remember what you have done for this country. To me, this is more important than your identity. "
Allen smiled bitterly, "If Julian thinks so, then I will have less trouble."
"If he was just Julian, I promise he would. I almost watched him grow up, and I know very well what that child's temperament is like. But now, he is not only Julian, but also His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, there are many times when he can't help it. Please understand this, Lord Allen. "
Nabott nodded and got into the carriage without saying another word.
After he left, Allen returned to the study of the inn. Lucy was reading the book. Hearing his footsteps, he raised his head and asked curiously, "Who sent this?"
"Julian asked Nabott to send it over. He already suspects my identity as a Celestial." Allen said in a deep voice.
Lucy said, "Then what are you going to do? If you fall out, it won't be a small matter."
Allen thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see Julian. Since that's the case, I might as well show my cards. I hope he doesn't do anything unnecessary. "
Then he ordered someone to arrange a carriage.
In Dawn Castle, after Nabott had left, Julian had been at the window of the study. He looked out the window and suddenly sighed. Someone came in and whispered in Julian's ear, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has gone to the inn."
"I see." Julian waved his hand.
The man went down, and the young emperor murmured, "What will you do, Allen? Are you looking for a showdown? Or are you pretending to be confused? "
Just as he finished speaking, another guard outside the door said, "Your Majesty, Archduke Allen requests an audience."
Julian clenched his hand tightly. A moment later, he said in a low voice, "Invite him in."
When Allen walked through the corridor and arrived at the door of the study, he saw that there were no guards around. The guard who led the way reported and left as well. Allen pushed the door open and entered. Julian was sitting in a chair behind the desk. Allen closed the door and the two of them looked at each other across the table.
After staring at each other for a moment, Julian said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to bow when you see me? Archduke Allen! "
Allen also said seriously, "I hope to see my former friend Prince Julian today, not His Majesty Julian. For it is only in the presence of a friend that I can confide in him. "
Julian looked at him without saying a word. After a moment, he relaxed and said, "You know what, Allen? If you hadn't come, if you hadn't said that, I would have let the guards and experts in by now. "
"Fortunately, you didn't do that. Otherwise, after today, this country will be at war again." Allen moved a few fingers and said, "Because in that case, I won't have to take off your head."
"So we can talk?" Julian spread out his hands.
Allen nodded.
