Chapter 183 Set a trap

Nicole has been living in the royal capital. Although she and Leoporte are engaged, it does take a long time to prepare for the wedding between the royal family, so she is not anxious, but what has happened recently is really unacceptable.

First of all, a black tide broke out, and his fiance also devoted himself to the important task of defending the kingdom and often discussed state affairs with Howard until late at night. Later, he fell ill and missed the ceremony - I heard that his father died due to the rebellion of the eldest brother on the day of the ceremony - Nicole believed in her biological brother very much about this. Howard's words were also very happy to see him become the new emperor.

Howard is at war with his eldest brother, and his future husband is helping him - this is normal. She is convinced that if it was the eldest brother who succeeded her father's throne, Howard may not get a better end.

The only strange thing is that the Solomon family is now neutral. According to the original understanding, they will definitely stand on the side of the second brother in the battle for the throne, but now they are neutral, and there are even rumors that they have defected to the eldest brother.

It's not that she didn't want to visit her uncle, hoping to get an answer, but when she approached the gate of the Solomon family, she was blocked by the guards guarding the door. "I'm sorry, princess," the soldier politely refused her. "Your Majesty ordered that no one should enter the Solomon family's residence. , it should be provided by us!"

Nicole shouted angrily, "How dare you block the way since you know I'm a princess?" She got out of the carriage, picked up the whip and slapped it, "Do you know it's wrong?"

The soldier knelt on the ground and did not dodge. "I really can't let you pass, Your Highness!"

With a crack, the whip left a blood stain on his face.

"Don't let me go?" Nicole raised the whip again.

The soldier still knelt without squinted, "Please forgive me, the villain is indeed..."

Bang!

"Don't let me go?"

Bang!

......

Seeing that dozens of whips in a row did not work, Nicole was very angry. She took out her wand to hit the soldier so that he could no longer stand up.

At the moment when the spell began to be recited, the power of the element began to gather, and a hand stretched out from the side, pinched the top of the stick, and dispersed all the power of the element.

Then a man hiding in a black robe appeared in front of her, "Why did Her Royal Highness lose her temper so much?"

Nicole took a step back and saw the person coming. This is a person who is often with her second brother and fiance. Although she has never seen him, she knows that it is this guy from that cold and deep tone.

Although he was wearing a simple black robe, Nicole still recognized his current official position - inspector general from the kingdom's standard shoulder. This is an institution directly under the jurisdiction of the second brother, mainly to inspect the dereliction of spies, rebels and officials in the kingdom. Although the position is not very high, it has great power.

His second brother stood resolutely next to him. "What are you doing, Nicole," he said angrily, "Why did you beat the soldier at will - just because he carried out your brother's order?"

"I..." Nicole suddenly stopped talking, but quickly changed the topic, "Second brother, why don't you allow me to go in to see them?"

Howard looked at the inspector general, who slowly raised his head and said, "Naturally, there is a law on the affairs of the country. Although the princess is a noble relative, you have no public office, so it is naturally inconvenient to inform this matter!" The eyes in the shadow are flashing and uncertain.

Nicole approached Howard and shouted, "Second brother!" Then he raised his head and stared at the man in black, "Who are you? I haven't seen you. Why can you know and I can't?"

The man in black is Lawrence. In order to facilitate his access, the new emperor gave him the position of inspector general. On the one hand, it was for no one to doubt, but also to inquire about the news and monitor the princes and nobles in the royal capital.

Forens laughed twice, "Your Highness doesn't have to pretend - you have seen from my shoulders that I am the inspector - naturally I have the right to know all this!"

"You...you..." Nicole shouted twice. There was really nothing she could do, and she was really a little afraid of this guy. She only stamped her feet, took Howard's hand and shouted, "Second brother, can't I see Rebecca? - I don't care, I'm going to ask Rebecca to go shopping with me!"

Howard was cruel and shook her hand away, "Nicole! It's a national event now. Don't play with your temper, okay? - Now the Solomon family has colluded with your eldest brother, murdered your father, and is ready to kill your second brother. Are you still going to see him?"

"Second brother, how can uncle collude with the eldest brother? - Even if you help, you can only help our brothers and sisters!" Nicole shouted, "Are you making a mistake!"

"This is a national event. How can it be wrong!" Howard shouted angrily, "My uncle has now begun to station troops in Bly City for my eldest brother. If it hadn't been for Oport and others to help me, they would have called me long ago - now they are all hostages here. If we ran away, we would face hundreds of thousands more enemies!"

Although it is a little exaggerated, Nicole doesn't understand the competition between these powers after all. She thinks that there may be a misunderstanding, and she is more determined to meet the door.

But Howard's attitude is very firm, and Nicole has to retreat and find a way.

She roared angrily, "If you don't see, you won't see. What's the big deal - I'll go back and burn the house!" Then he desperately urged the carriage to return to the palace.

Facing the back of the carriage, Howard sighed, "My sister, alas, is really worry-free!"

Forens slowly opened his mouth, "Aren't you afraid that he will really burn the house?" He slowly turned around and said, "It seems that she is really possible!"

"Never mind," Howard said, "It's the most important thing for us to find the fragments now - Nicole just let Leopold take him out for a few days!"

The dark elf thought for a moment, "Well, it's more convenient for us to implement this plan!"

※※※

Nicole returned to the palace and found that Leopold had stood in the garden waiting for her.

If it were normal and Leoport had time to come to see him, Nicole would have jumped up happily, but today she was in a bad mood and just said hello faintly, "Why are you free to come over?"

Leopold smiled and showed his snow-white teeth, "Isn't it for you - I heard that you and your second brother are a little unhappy today?" Although he just came back from the outside, his eyes were still very bright, and his clothes were spotless and still bright.

When Nicole heard him mention unpleasant things, she was irritable and pulled down a leaf and played with it in her hand. "I don't know why my second brother just didn't allow me to go in to see my uncle!"

Leoport took a few steps closer and took her hand. "Actually, if you have any doubts, you can ask me. I know a little about this!"

"Oh?" Nicole raised her head and said, "Then tell me why uncle helps the eldest brother?" She paused for a moment, "Or why do you want to put them under house arrest now?"

Leopold smiled and said, "The situation seems to be related to Kuroshio: At that time, I heard that Mr. Mendie sent a blue mermaid to explore the information about Kuroshio. After successfully getting the information, he was not rewarded. This incident made my uncle more angry, and later added you and me. , the previous emperor did not support his uncle, but let us get engaged, and the conflict was even greater..."

"Our business is related again?" Nicole shouted, "That's our own business!"

"Yes," Leoport gently shook her hand, "that is to say, he has too much control!"

"What happened later?"

"Later, in the martial arts competition, Kunus originally won the first place. It is assumed that Black Forest Castle should have given him the position of leader, but as a result, he was only given a martial arts technician and a part-time deputy commander, so the contradiction was even greater..." Leoport continued.

"For these little things?" Nicole was surprised.

"Yes," he continued to explain, "Later, the eldest brother went to him and promised to give more benefits in the future, so he agreed!" Leopold smiled, "It's that simple now!"

"What benefits can the eldest brother give to his uncle? How can you let your uncle rebel with him? Nicole still has some doubts.

"This is not clear," Leoport pretended to think for a moment. "According to the information we got, it seems that the Solomon family is no longer satisfied with just being businessmen. They probably want to control the Sixth Army - so that they can broaden their trade routes and take greater benefits!"

"Oh, if this is the case, it's still possible!" Nicole nodded as if she didn't understand. He still knows about Mendie. If he doesn't have much interest in controlling the regime, it is possible if he has the opportunity to expand business opportunities.

"So," Leopold held Nicole in his arms. "Now these people left in the imperial capital are hostages to make them have some scruples - if they really escape, we will definitely go to war with the Solomon family, and then it will be really out of control!"

"So that's it!" Nicole roughly understood a little from Leoport's narration. Anyway, she couldn't figure out the false and real words. "Then the second brother still can't bear to say so!"

"Yes!" Leopold suddenly remembered something, "You'd better apologize to your second brother," he said. "Now that your father has passed away, you and your second brother depend on each other. Don't let him be too cold!"

"Let's talk about it later," Nicole was a little embarrassed. "Let's talk about it later... Oh, but what should we do during this period?" She stared at Leoport, "Give me a way!"

"Hm, don't you want to see him?"

"Yes, you can't stay in the room all the time!"

Leoport frowned and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Why don't I have a suggestion - let's go out for a walk, okay?"

"Going outside? - Where to go?"

"Why don't we go to the Soros Empire," Leopold said, "The situation is not very good now. It is said that the black tide is getting more and more intense. Let's take a break!" He looked at Nicole, "By the way, meet my father and two brothers!"

"That...it's okay!" Nicole is very happy as long as she can leave here. "How long are we going?"

"Let's see if you like it," Leopold said, "If you like it, stay for a while. If you don't like it, come back early!"

Nicole thought for a moment, slowly snuggled up to Leoport and nodded.
