The First Magic World War

Chapter 423: 394. Emperor Julius Axler Rebels (7000 words, asking for monthly tickets)_2

“Originally, I wanted to send the same invitation to Count Sumei, but I guess that old thing couldn’t handle Menilman, let alone The Empire’s First Rose who is indeed too thorny. Better think of another method.”

Duke Mosley couldn’t help but remind, “There is only one queen.”

Prince Redmiel Axer, unconcerned, said, “This is competition! Competition!”

“This will make them try harder to please me.”

When the two of them were discussing this matter, neither of them thought of Charlotte, not even fleetingly, so naturally, she went unmentioned. To these top-tier nobles, Charlotte was but a contemptible merchant’s son, unworthy of any attention.

In the sky above, four members of the Sacred Order landed on the ground, while the others, sensing the Emperor’s aura vanish, chose to withdraw from the battle and left the Imperial Palace.

To these members of the Sacred Order, they put themselves first, their families second, and loyalty to the Emperor last.

They had fought to their very last breath.

Indeed, to Emperor Julius Axler VI’s last breath!

Redmiel, looking at his four subordinates of the Sacred Order with full confidence, commanded, “Kneel! Swear loyalty to your new Emperor!”

The four members of the Sacred Order and rows of black-armored warriors knelt down. Redmiel Axer, full of ambition, kicked his brother’s corpse aside and sat on the throne.

A moment later, a general walked into the bedroom, knelt on one knee, and said, “Her Majesty the Queen has fled to the Count’s Mansion of The Earl Brittany, and your son, Lord Midaphis, has demanded that the mansion hand over Her Majesty. Madam Nancy refused.”

Redmiel smirked and said, “Go tell Madam Nancy clearly, I will not kill the Queen, nor will I make trouble for the Brittany Family!”

But the general did not move, and Redmiel, in a good mood, asked, “Why are you still here?”

The general replied in a low voice, “Lord Midaphis barged into the Count’s Mansion, killed Madam Nancy, and Her Majesty the Queen!”

A silence fell over the bedroom, so quiet that one could have heard a pin drop.

Duke Mosley couldn’t help but say, “Why would Midaphis do such a thing?”

“Isn’t this forcing Earl Brittany to rebel?”

Redmiel’s face turned steely, and he immediately commanded, “Send someone to bring that fool back to me.”

Shortly thereafter, a golden-haired, handsome, yet somewhat sinister young man entered the bedroom with a few subordinates. Seeing Redmiel Axer seated on the throne, he immediately knelt on one knee and said, “Congratulations, Father, on your dream come true, inheriting the throne of Fars.”

Redmiel, flattered, felt slightly pleased, but then angrily scolded, “Why did you kill the wife of Earl Brittany?”

Midaphis said indifferently, “She is my cousin, the Empire’s second in line to the throne!”

“You would have killed her eventually, so what’s wrong with doing it earlier?”

Redmiel wanted to kick his son, but though he lifted a leg, he pulled it back.

Antonio was to be the future mightiest in the Empire, and Midaphis was recognized as the most advantageous contender for this title.

Redmiel’s progress down the Transcendent path was not smooth. Despite having the resources of the Royal Family, he was only a High-Level Transcendent and could not defeat his own son. Midaphis, with his stubborn nature, would truly rebel, and Redmiel did not want to become the butt of a scandal, freshly enthroned as Emperor of Fars yet beaten up by the Crown Prince.

If Charlotte were here to witness this scene, he would certainly sum up the relationship between this father and son with one sentence.

Indeed, here was a Nezha!

Redmiel suppressed his rage and said, “We would have killed that woman eventually, but not now. We have to wait until I’ve firmly established my position on the throne before we can deal with this matter gradually.”

Midaphis replied coldly, “She’s already dead!”

Redmiel felt a flush of heat on his face, and anger surged to his head. He felt certain that he would eventually die at the hands of this son, and could not help but curse, “Bastard!”

Duke Mosley could only attempt to defuse the situation, saying, “Your Majesty, the greater good prevails.”

Redmiel, apprehensive, commanded, “Call all the nobles to the Imperial Palace! Also, bring the families of those several people to the palace; we need these hostages for what we are going to do.”

Prince Redmiel’s personal Knight Order and Duke Mosley’s personal Knight Order replaced the Royal Knights Order and reigned supreme in Strasbourg, incessantly capturing those who opposed them and forcing the nobles to pick sides.

Starting the day after Redmiel Axer stormed the Imperial Palace and killed the old Emperor, Strasbourg began to bleed. Every day, noble families were hanged wholesale, and sometimes, the Knight Orders of the two rebelling dignitaries couldn’t even wait for a trial, carrying out executions in the streets, looting the nobles’ private wealth.

Both of Charlotte’s private residences were broken into by Duke Mosley’s Knight Order. Madam Nancy and Mrs. Plum Sauce were captured and thrown into prison. The Count’s Mansion at 221B Baker Street in Val de Vaz District was turned upside down, and the two Knight’s Spears hanging on the wall in a gesture of sovereignty were stolen, as were the magical paintings.

This great bloodshed lasted a full two weeks!

Charlotte finally received definite news. When he learned that the old Emperor was killed by his younger brother and that Prince Redmiel Axer proclaimed himself Emperor, he was not greatly affected. But when he heard that Midaphis Axer had stormed into 58 Sixth Avenue in Val de Vaz District, killed the Queen and the Count’s wife—namely Emperor Julius Axtel VI’s eldest daughter, Anne Brittany’s mother, Princess Akso’s sister…
