EOL Chapter 41

“Stop!” the emperor shouted behind him.

 

Alfred turned a deaf ear to him, pushed away the guards blocking the door, and rushed straight out of the Holy Golden Palace.

 

The emperor’s roar quickly faded away in his ears, but he could hear his heart beating violently. The bad premonition that had been lingering in his heart for so many days now completely enveloped him.

 

It seemed that something very, very bad had happened.

 

And his intuition has always been as sharp as that of a wild animal.

 

All the guards of the Holy Golden Palace were, without exception, people with genetic abilities that enhanced their bodily functions. Following the emperor’s orders, they closely followed the Third Prince, who was suddenly trying to force his way out of the palace. When they saw Alfred pushing down the servants on the road and rushing out of the main palace of the Holy Golden Palace, they immediately shouted to the guards on duty outside the main palace.

Alfred said. Seeing the hesitation of the steward of Palace, he lowered his voice and shouted, “Go now!”

 

The butler was startled and said, “Yes!”

 

In the distance, a waiter from the Holy Golden Palace staggered over, holding up his half-metal palm. The metal structure was flashing a signal light – this was a complete communication device implanted in his palm.

 

“An urgent military summons – eh? Where’s His Majesty?”

 

“Reply to them, block the border, and do not open fire.” Alfred ordered, “Send the Grand Marshal and Major Stone to the palace immediately – the Palace of Dawn. Also, immediately send a shadow army to the Holy White Tower to search for the high priest.”

 

 

The summonsing officer obviously didn’t realize why the little prince was giving orders here. Alfred said coldly, “Your Majesty is incapacitated, the prince is missing, and according to the order of succession, I am the regent at the moment. What are your doubts?”

 

“No! I will pass on your order right away…”

 

Alfred did not stand there and wait for him to finish the communication. Instead, he looked up at the sky – the huge, strangely shaped flying object was moving away quickly – and made a call.

 

After a while, his scooter sped in and stopped in front of the main palace of the Shengjin Palace – parking was actually not allowed here, but no one dared to say anything to him at this moment.

 

Alfred got in the car and quickly headed for Dawn Palace.

 

When Alfred arrived at the Dawn Palace, Marshal Stone had already arrived and Butler Mark was already standing aside waiting for him.

 

 

“Go ahead.” Alfred said briefly, pointing at Mark, “You go first.”

 

“…the other party was holding His Majesty’s handwritten order, saying that the Shengjin Palace urgently summoned him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that he had received a communication from His Majesty. We didn’t think much about it…” Butler Mark’s face looked very bad.

 

Naturally, no one would dare to forge the emperor’s edict under normal circumstances. Once it was discovered, it would be a capital crime, and it was a dead-end approach.

 

Several people were talking as they walked up the stairs. When they arrived at the door of the prince’s study, Alfred pushed the door open and walked in. There were documents scattered all over the floor and the cabinet door was wide open. It seemed that someone had rummaged through the documents roughly, but did not bother to clean them up. He took some of the documents and left in a hurry.

 

This study is only used by the prince himself, and it seems obvious who this person is.

 

 

“The cleaning servant found the door of the prince’s study open and the inside was messy, and then he realized something was wrong. But by then he could no longer contact the prince. Then he saw that…”

 

He was at a loss for words, not knowing how to address him. Alfred said, “See that flying machine. Then what?”

 

Mark was startled, and even the Grand Marshal and Austin who were following behind them were a little stunned. Alfred glanced at them and said, “What’s wrong? It’s just a flying machine, the same as our spaceships and warships. It can be seen with the naked eye that it is more advanced than ours, but it is also made by humans and operated by humans.”

 

“You’re right!” Butler Mark said excitedly, “I saw the aircraft approaching from afar, heading towards the Saint Golden Palace. You know what happened afterwards… After staying for a while, the aircraft quickly left the main planet.”

 

 

“They are currently heading towards the border in the direction of the third cantilever.” Marshal Stone continued. His facial features were originally deep and tough, and now he frowned, looking even more fierce. “They just deliberately hovered above the Holy Golden Palace. We collected reports from eyewitnesses. When the aircraft was first seen entering the atmosphere, it was not over the Imperial City at all. They flew directly to the Holy Golden Palace, hovered for a while, and then left, just like…”

 

“Provocation,” Alfred said calmly as he stood in the messy Crown Prince’s study.

 

“They were able to accurately locate the Holy Golden Palace. Apparently, there are people there who are familiar with us.” Marshal Stone said, “We just received a report from the Shadow Corps that the Holy White Tower is empty.”

 

As expected. Alfred nodded and said to Butler Mark, “Go do two things. First, find someone to count the study room and see which confidential documents were taken away. Second, contact someone. She is from Xueli Planet, was once the editor-in-chief of ‘Snow Voice’, and recently joined an entertainment company on the main planet. Ask her to immediately find a way to prepare an entertainment series filming crew on any planet on the border of the third cantilever. The sooner the better. Money is not a problem.”

Mark was obviously confused, but he didn’t show it and went to answer.

 

Alfred was about to turn to Marshal Stone when he paused.

 

Xiu’s desk was messy, but with his familiarity with this desk, he noticed at a glance that something was missing.

 

There had been a photo in the frame on the desk, but now it was empty—the photo of Xiu and Alfred was gone.
