Stark led Rudeus into the mansion with a smile, and servants on both sides poured tea and invited Rudeus to sit down.

"Mr. Stark, what brings you here?"

Rudius asked.

“This is my idea. I would like to join forces with you to apply to His Majesty again for a tax reduction for the Milbots territory.”

Stark bit his lip. “The Millborough has just been ravaged by war and natural disasters, and there are war reparations and taxes that will only increase the burden on the people. I petitioned His Majesty once before, but there was no response. So this time I want to contact you to do this together.”

"Mr. Stark, why are you doing this? Prince Gravel is clearly not pleased."

Rudius asked.

"I know."

Stark shook his head slightly. "Prince Gravel cares about the dignity of the royal family, but the guilty ones are Darius and Rob Nottos Grellat. What does this have to do with the people of Milbots?"

“We, as the powerful and wealthy, are supported by the people of Asura. If we cannot do anything that benefits the people of Asura, then to whom should we keep these positions?”

"Shh!"

As he spoke, a bullet flew past and pierced Stark's chest.

"Mr. Stark!"

“Mr....Lu...Diuss....”

Before Stark could finish speaking, his mouth was filled with a rush of blood. Rudeus was about to cast a healing spell on him, but before he could even chant, Stark stopped breathing.

Before Rudeus could react, a large group of soldiers rushed into the house and held swords to Rudeus's neck.

"The Hall of Surveillance?"

Looking at the uniforms of the soldiers in front of him, and seeing several familiar figures, Rudeus's mind went completely blank for a moment.

At this moment, a child who looked to be eleven or twelve years old walked out from among the soldiers of the Surveillance Hall. It was Yuri Grerat.

"Rudius Boreas Grellatt has trespassed on the Chancellor's residence and murdered Chancellor Stark Zephyrus Grellatt. Take him away!"

......

Hilfi returned to her office. The school bell rang, but she hadn't attended any classes for the past few days. She seemed to be waiting for someone to appear.

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

As the painted wooden door opened, a tall man entered the room. He flicked a tuft of hair from his forehead, took out a ring from his shirt pocket as usual, and placed it on the doorknob to block out sounds from inside and outside the room. After finishing his work cleanly and efficiently, he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Sylphie.

“Tell me, Mr. Oswald, what is your purpose in sowing discord between me and Rudy?”

Hilfi stood with her hands clasped together, her slender fingers interlaced, a hint of coldness flashing in her wine-red eyes. "Think it over before you speak, or you'll have to lose some parts here before you can leave."

"Hmph, hehehehe."

Oswald sneered, "I was just telling Miss Hilfiet the truth. You were deceived by Mr. Rudius, and I told you the truth, but it turned out that I was the one who stirred up trouble between you. Do you remember the first time we met?"

"of course I remember."

Hilfi replied coldly, "Of course I thank you for telling me the truth, but I'm afraid your intentions aren't just to let me know the truth. Are you going to continue pretending to be ignorant?"

“Well then, I’ll get straight to the point, Miss Hilfiet.”

Oswald pulled a newspaper from his pocket, stamped with Gravel's seal. "Philip Boreas Grerat is about to return to the capital. His Highness Gravel has already issued the transfer order. You live in the Boreas family, so you should have heard about it to some extent."

“My sister, Lilith Aiuros Greirat, also died in Philip Boreas Greirat’s scheme. So I’m telling you the truth to show that we have a common enemy. Once Philip returns to the capital, we won’t have another chance to make a move, so…”

"So you're planning to make me do it, is that it?"

Hearing Sylphie's reply, Oswald seemed to gain a glimmer of hope and praised, "That's right, Miss Sylphie is indeed very clever."

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to seek revenge."

Hilfi lowered her head silently. "Mr. Oswald, your plan may fall through."

“It’s alright. James was planning to kill Philip anyway. I’m just telling you the truth to add an extra layer of insurance.”

Oswald sneered, "Although Philip is a lord, he has no military power at all. Although he has the protection of the Sword King Kyrianu, how many people can the Sword King Kyrianu defeat? The combined forces on both sides are nearly 10,000. Even if Philip had wings, he would have a hard time escaping."

“I see. Then we probably won’t have any reason to meet again, Mr. Oswald.”

"That's what Hilfi said."

"That's true. I wonder what Mr. Rudius would think if he knew that I often meet with his concubine alone."

Oswald said, "However, I would like to remind you of something. Before Rudius truly secures the Boreas family's position, I advise you to be wary of James and, if possible, take this opportunity to kill him."

"Are you trying to sow discord between me and my family again?"

Hilfi smiled awkwardly, narrowed her eyes, and gathered magic in her palm. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you might lose your life here, Mr. Oswald."

“I’m not making this up. While James’ death would certainly benefit the Aiolos family, from your perspective, what makes you think James wouldn’t harm you? And your children?”

"I am just a concubine. My uncle has no reason to lay a hand on me."

Hilfi rejected it.

"So Philip has a reason to kill your parents? It's a good thing you had a daughter this time. What if it had been a son? I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to grow up safely."

Oswald's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "And do you really think Rudeus will smoothly become the heir? James hasn't made a move against Rudeus most likely because of Philip. Now Philip is about to die, and Alice's son has been born. Compared to Rudeus, Alice's son is easier to control."

"Then... what do you want?"

Hilfi seemed to be persuaded by Oswald, but not just for herself, but also for Rudius.

She could hardly imagine what it would be like if Rudeus were to pass away before her. At that time, not only would she lose Rude, but her child would also be left without protection.

“I think we can work together, Miss Sylphieette.”

Oswald said, "What the Aiuros family lacks most is a strong fighter like you. Everything else, such as horses, equipment, and swordsmen, is readily available. All you need to do is catch up with James and Philip, and cut off their heads while they are fighting, and that will solve the problem once and for all."

"Would you like to think about it?"

"If I go, I might not come back."

Hilfi stood up from her seat, her magic transforming into a sharp ice blade that pressed against Oswarud's neck. "You'd better not try anything funny, Mr. Oswarud."

"The Aiuros family can provide you with the best equipment you've ever seen, easily bringing your physical strength to the Saint level or higher. Are you sure you don't want to consider it?"

"I....."

Looking at Oswald's face, which showed no fear despite the ice blade pressed against his neck, Silphi swallowed hard.

If what Oswald said is true, then Rudy might soon be threatened as well, and that would be the most terrible thing.

She had nothing but her child and Rudy, so why did she have to choose between the two or lose them both?

"No."

A faint voice escaped her lips. Silphi hesitated for a moment before removing the chilling ice blade from Oswald's neck.

"I agree to cooperate with you. What equipment do you have? Take it out."

......

On this day, it seemed that the Imperial Censorate and the Shinsengumi could be seen everywhere in the capital. In just one day, the residences of dozens of officials were confiscated.

"Oh dear, is the Surveillance Department starting to arrest people in broad daylight?"

"It must be that cruel official, what was his name again, Rudius, yes, it must be him, causing chaos in the capital."

Beside a vegetable stall, Aisha instructed her maid to put several bags of potatoes into a basket, while listening to the vegetable vendors complaining about the soldiers of the Surveillance Hall.

"They seem to be unfamiliar faces..."

Aisha observed the faces of a passing squad of Imperial Guard soldiers; their uniforms even bore the Shinsengumi's logo.

"Go back quickly, I have a bad feeling."

......

"Yuri Grerat?"

Rudius shook his head violently, finally coming to his senses. He looked at the boy, who appeared to be just over ten years old, and coldly retorted, "I am the superior Minister of Inspection. It is against Asura's laws to label me without any evidence."

"It's just a baseless accusation. Now that we have witnesses and physical evidence, whether it's legal or not is not up to you to decide."

Yuri sneered, walked up to Rudeus, and put on a disgusting smile no less grotesque than Darius's had been. "Lord Rudeus, your life is certainly not going to last, but I can take care of your wives for you, hehehehe..."

“Sigh, there are always people who think they have too much life, but you’ve only lived for less than fifteen years, how can you say such misanthropic things?”

"boom!"

As he spoke, a massive surge of magic erupted from Rudeus's body. Like a monstrous wave, the magic, like a giant mercury hammer, slammed everyone in the room away, shattering the glass windows instantly.

Some of the dozen or so people inside the room were slammed out of the building and luckily survived, while others were smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces, turning into a pool of blood and flesh that stained the blue robes of the Surveillance Hall.

Yuri belonged to the former group. He got up from the ground, felt a wave of dizziness, and vaguely saw a figure jump down from the building and slowly walk towards him.

The spring sunshine was bright and clear, and a light drizzle had just fallen last night, leaving a warm, damp residue on the ground. But Yuri felt his hands and feet were ice-cold, as if the damp air on the ground was like an icicle piercing his arms, ankles, and internal organs.

The figures in front of me are becoming increasingly blurry, and my brain is gradually losing consciousness.

"I don't want to die...I don't want to die...."

"Shh!"

Rudius was about to walk over and end the life of the despicable man in front of him when he was suddenly pushed against the wall by an external force, and he lost feeling in his left shoulder.

He looked closely and saw that a half-meter-long steel pestle was stuck in his left shoulder, with spells of binding magic engraved around it.

"Long time no see, Mr. Rudius."

Following the clear female voice, a man and a woman approached from not far away. Both were dressed in cool swordsman attire. Rudeus recognized them as the former Sword Saint Nina and Sword Saint Cino.

Nina has three more steel pestles like the one she just saw.

"It's quite a surprise to see the two of you here."

Rudius tried to pull the steel pestle off his left shoulder, but before he could raise his other arm, a whooshing sound came, and his other shoulder and both thighs were firmly nailed to the wall.

"Isn't this a nice gift, Mr. Rudius?"

“That’s wonderful, Miss Nina.”

Immediately afterwards, Nina and Kino walked up to Rudeus, drew their swords and cut through the wall behind him, pulling Rudeus down from the wall. They then handcuffed and shackled Rudeus, and several surviving Surveillance Hall soldiers came over, put a sack over Rudeus's head, put him in a carriage, and took him away.

......

On this day, a special guest arrived at the dark prison of the capital. He was a cruel official who had sent dozens of officials in over the past few months and was feared by all the officials in the capital.

When the jailers saw Rudius being brought in, they crowded around and curiously asked the official from the Inspectorate who brought him in if he had arrested the wrong person. It was quite rare for a falconer to shoot himself with an arrow. However, when he was locked in a dark room, the jailers dispersed.

Those sent to the dark chambers of the royal prison were either desperate madmen who attempted to assassinate the king, corrupt officials who amassed wealth in their regions, or thorns in the side of the royal family.

The officials guarding the dark room tied Rudeus to an iron frame and secured him with chains, threading the steel rods inserted into Rudeus's shoulders and legs. Then, two magicians set up a barrier on the ground using barrier scrolls, and magic circles spread throughout the room.

After the setup was completed, the officials and magicians left.

Rudius struggled at first, but as he bled more and more, his consciousness became increasingly blurred. There was no one else in the room, only himself.

After two days in this dark room without light or sound, the faint light of a torch illuminated the room again, and two people walked in, one tall and one short. One was a tall man wearing a purple cashmere coat with a tuft of hair on his forehead, and the other was a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old and wearing the blue official robe of the Surveillance Hall.

Rudius was startled by the sudden light shining into his eyelids and struggled to open his eyes. The two people in front of him were Oswald and Yuri.

Although she had already learned from her conversation with Hilfi a few days ago that Oswald had feelings for her, she did not expect it to come so suddenly, without even the buffer that she could have obtained by relying on the Boreas family as a backer.

Rudius already knew that Yuri was suspicious, but after learning that he was one of Prince Gravel's men, he no longer had any doubts.

“Mr. Oswald, after this is done, I want Miss Alice. As for that demon, it seems like a good idea to play with him and then throw him away, hahaha!”

As Yuri verbally humiliated Alice and Loki while laughing maniacally while clutching his stomach, Rudeus struggled to unleash his magic to kill him, but his limbs seemed to have lost all feeling, and his mouth was already gagged, so he couldn't even speak.

“You shouldn’t be telling me that kind of thing; you should be asking Prince Gravel.”
