Path of The Dragonborn

Chapter 145: "Latent" Project

"I don't understand." Looking at the hand-drawn, draft map of Elbe's Departure Palace in front of her, Yulia frowned, "Why do you guys think that Departure Palace will be a key location..."

"I haven't met Richard, and I don't understand his ideas, his motives...Miss Yulia, do you think if you want to have a coup in Libel now, how do you get over the queen of mountains?"

"...Almost impossible." Yulia shook her head. "Your Majesty's prestige and influence in this country are too great... Even Richard, I am afraid..."

"That's right. And not to mention the queen, Cassius Bright should be back in time. Once this person also returns, then his plan will be completely finished. Therefore, his rebellion plan is definitely not a one. For the **** coup d'etat, for now, he has no need to break the boat."

"Yes, facing Mr. Cassius, he has no chance of winning." Yulia nodded in approval, "So?"

"Therefore, in the short term, Richard will inevitably use something as a breakthrough to suppress the Queen’s influence. On the one hand, the Queen’s freedom is restricted within the royal city, and on the other hand, it will also intimidate and lure senior officials in the military and political circles. Right. In this case, what is the best method?"

"...You mean..." Yulia understood instantly, "Hostage!"

"That's right." Heliga said and pointed to the map. "If Richard's next goal is to imprison and control the family members of the princess and military and political figures... Then Abel Palace is not a ready-made place. ?"

"It was originally used as a palace for the Queen's holiday. The facilities are complete. It not only saves the trouble of tidying up another place, but also blocks the Queen’s safety as a logical reason, so as to hide the truth from ordinary people... That’s how he came to the conclusion... But... In this case, even if you control the queen, then..."

"...I think it would be unwise to overthrow the Queen’s power directly, and Richard is not stupid. Probably 80%, he will try to persuade Princess Kolotia to cooperate with him and become his puppet queen, and then directly Forcing the current queen to abdicate. In this way, the princess will have to be treated with kindness and courage during this period of time, and it is more likely that Li Palace will be selected as the target."

"... Your Royal Highness will not compromise with his conspiracy." Yulia said categorically, she straightened her chest, like an older sister who was proud of her sister.

"In that case, Richard's radical approach cannot be ruled out. But for now, there is no need to think so far...wait..."

"what happened?"

"It can be manipulated as a puppet, besides the princess, isn't there another one?"

"...Did you mean..." Yulia showed an incredulous expression, "Duke Dunant..."

"His Royal Highness..." In the King City, although he is very old, the old butler, who is still full of energy, Mr. Philip, known as the "Silver Fox", is watching with some worry at the moment holding the handle of the stairs, struggling to get downstairs. Duke of Dunant.

"Philip. Bring a towel." After finally finishing the last step, Philip, who was trembling with the fat all over his body, wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting and making a request towards Philip. The latter who prepared immediately leaned forward and handed over the towel.

"Huh...Philip." Taking advantage of that moment, covering his mouth with a towel, when others couldn't see it, he whispered: "Has Richard gone?"

"Go, now only Kenona is still guarding the city." The old butler bowed slightly so that the soldiers around the corner could not see it.

"Huh... let's go! Go to the martial arts conference!" Duke Dunant, who heard the news, smiled and said loudly, so that the soldiers at the door could hear clearly, and then swaggered through the front door.

"It's 7:50 in the morning. It takes about an hour from here to the arena. The official game will start at 8 o'clock and finish time..." The soldier standing guard at the door, calculating something, staring away. The back of Duke Dunant. In his heart, there is always something wrong.

"Have you completely recovered from your injury?" Putting on the leather armor that can defend against stray bullets, Heliga looked to the side of Yulia, who had been put on a combat uniform and put on a large cloak outside. The latter was holding it. His saber was carefully scrutinized in the sun.

"Yes, thanks...you, and Miss Fei." Yulia's face flushed slightly, "Speaking of which, where is Miss Fei?"

"I'm here." There was a rustling sound, and Fei walked out from the outside of the tent. She looked at the things in the tent, "Are you sure you don't need these?"

"Well... for the time being. Although you will be disguised when you leave, there is no guarantee that you will not be spotted..." Heliga frowned, "Anyway, the things here, including this tent, They are all resources that can be replenished at any time...Just pick up those irreplaceable items."

"Wait, we just swaggered into the royal city like this?" Yulia seemed to think of something suddenly, "Even if you two can, then I..."

"Don't worry, I have arranged a script. Fei."

"Let me see..." Fei took out the manuscript paper she had prepared. "Brothers and sisters in Chase, and the eldest sister of the cousin's family, come to visit relatives in the capital?"

"This is very unreliable..." Yulia was a little worried.

"No problem, right? Hair color... blue and white are similar to white, and should be able to be confused. Anyway, I have a way to prevent them from reading the file."

"Then how can I hide my appearance..."

"It's not necessary. You just wear this cloak. I will tell them that you have just recovered from a serious illness and you still have scars on your body. It is not convenient to be directly exposed to the sun. That's why I didn't let you on the most injured left. Put on armor on your arms...just lift it up and show them."

"...Let's do this for the time being. But I still don't understand why we must walk in swaggeringly... Anyway, this will expose the target, right?"

"No, it's just to walk in swaggeringly, just to expose the target." Heliga corrected, "This is also part of the plan... We must have evidence of being in the royal capital at some point... The point is you, Just take you to the church you mentioned, and round with your dark line companions, right?"

"Yeah. This is also a secret, please keep it secret." Yulia, who took the risk of telling the hidden location at the request of the teenager, has no idea in her heart, but the teenager in front of her is definitely not simple. His behavior, those strange moves, the information and conversations he provided...

Those words that Cassius Bright taught, about "judging the situation flexibly and responding"...

Now it seems that I have done it well.

"Then, let's go."
