It was already completely dark, and darkness enveloped the entire Balzardze Palace, and even His Majesty's bedchamber. The female officials should have been instructed not to disturb the conversation between the Empress and the First Prince, so they allowed the Emperor's bedroom to be covered in darkness.

Arlo sighed and sent out small sparks, sending them swaying and flying on the beautifully crafted candlesticks.

"Your magical talent is also very good, but I'm afraid that learning Dou Qi and magic at the same time will not be enough."

Knowing that Garcia had good intentions, Arlo did not refute it.

Obviously, Garcia is just talking casually now, she has been gently stroking a delicate box on the table with one hand, and it took a long time to make up her mind to push the box to Arlo, and said: "This is my Balzarzer's Imperial Scepter, it represents the symbol of Balzarze's supreme power, you take it to the Holy Academy." ”

"Why?" Arlo was a little moved, giving him the scepter meant that he recognized him as the next emperor of Balzarzer, so that Garcia's long-term calculations would not be in vain.

"Alonso's personality I know is that being impulsive is not suitable for being an emperor, especially at a time like this. And your previous personality was actually not suitable for being an emperor, but you have grown a lot in this meeting, knowing that I have always had bad intentions towards you, but you can treat it sensibly. Originally, Cyrus was still alive, and she could spend more than ten or twenty years slowly training Alonso, but now for the sake of the empire and the overall situation, she can only choose Aloisio: "I heard that you saved Alonso in the Ankang Ba competition, I believe that you can all live well as emperor." ”

"Not necessarily, if Norton is really as we analyzed, I'm afraid that neither I nor Alonso will survive." Under the great temptation of the throne, Arlo remained sane.

"So I asked you to take the scepter to the Holy Academy, now there is no one in the entire palace or the whole of Balthazar who is an opponent of Norton, I think he heard that my father did not know the depth in the palace and did not dare to come in rashly, but today he has mobilized troops to be stationed outside the city gates, under the pretext that His Majesty was assassinated to protect the imperial city."

Garcia analyzed the current situation and said to Arlo: "After all, my father was the number one master of Balzarze, and no one knows what level he has reached after so many years of seclusion, and Norton does not want to confront the royal family head-on, but we can't be so deadlocked all the time, so after a while, Leobard, my father, and the most loyal knights of the royal family will escort you out of the city." Batu City has four gates, and as long as you avoid the gate where Norton is located, no one is Leobold's opponent, and your safety should be fine. ”

"What about you?"

"I will stay in the palace and deal with Norton, as long as we don't get into infighting, he has no reason to lead the military and the royal family to turn the other cheek."

"In that case, why should I flee?" Whether it is the emperor or not, he will never shirk his responsibility.

"If he comes back to assassinate who can resist, and going to the Holy Academy is your father's last wish, I have sent someone to inform Alonso that he does not have to come back, and he will go to Ancheng directly."

"But you'll be left alone in ......the palace," Arlo hesitated.

"There must be someone left in the palace to take a look at the overall situation," looking at Arlo's hesitation, Garcia said with some relief: "As long as you live well, Norton will be afraid that he will not do anything to me, remember that the future of the empire depends on you." ”

Arlo looked at Garcia deeply, for the first time in so many years, he understood this woman. But the future of the empire depends on you—it's so familiar and heavy.
