Chapter 1317: Gail Poisoned Ilsa

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Ilsa's study.

"Father."

Ilsa looked at Gale at the table in surprise.

"You said you wanted to have dinner with me tonight?"

Repeating what Gale just told her.

"Um."

Gale smiled and nodded slightly.

"That's right."

"It's been a long time since we, father and daughter, had a meal together."

"It's time to have dinner together after a long time."

"How about it? Ilsa, are you free?"

Ilsa is now the emperor of the Britannia Empire. Logically speaking, even Gale, who is Ilsa's father, has to address Ilsa as "Your Majesty".

But this was in private after all, so neither Ilsa nor Gale cared about the right or wrong of the title.

After Gale's words fell, Ilsa nodded hurriedly:

"Yeah! Of course I have time!"

Ilsa really had no reason to refuse Gale's invitation.

After all, this is a long-lost opportunity to enhance the relationship between the two of them.

Ever since Ilsa ascended the throne, she had always felt that Gale seemed to be deliberately alienating her.

It’s not like Ilsa didn’t understand why Gale deliberately alienated her.

Ilsa couldn't help but feel frustrated that her own biological father was so distant from her.

Ilsa has always wanted to enhance the relationship between the two and return their relationship to its previous state.

But I have been suffering from not knowing what to do.

Now her father unexpectedly came to invite her to have dinner together after a long absence. This naturally made Ilsa very happy and she hurriedly agreed.

…

…

Ilsa is now full of energy and plans to finish all the government affairs on the table immediately so that she can spare enough time to have dinner with Gale tonight.

So when Gale turned around and was about to leave, Ilsa hurriedly buried her head again and devoted all her energy to the various government affairs on the table.

Because of this, Ilsa didn't notice the strange color that appeared on Gale's face when he turned around.

…

…

That night——

In Gale's room——

In Gale's room, there was a round table of medium size.

The table is filled with sumptuous food.

And Gale and Ilsa sat around this table filled with delicious food.

Gail did not choose to eat in the same dining room where they usually ate.

Instead, he chose to set up a small round table temporarily in his room and eat with Ilsa around it.

Ilsa was very happy with Gale's arrangement.

Because eating like this can give them a more life-like atmosphere and help them enhance their relationship.

"Come, Ilsa."

Gale handed a glass of grape juice towards Ilsa.

"This is what I prepared for you. It's your favorite grape juice."

"Ah, thank you."

Ilsa took the glass of grape juice from Gale with a somewhat flattered attitude.

"Hehe, I happen to be a little thirsty."

After saying that, Ilsa slowly passed the grape juice in her hand towards her lips.

…

…

Gale added the super powerful poison that Kong Nan gave him to this glass of wine.

Just as Kong Nan said to him, as Ilsa's father, it was easy for him to add some poison to Ilsa's drink.

As long as Ilsa takes a sip of this grape juice, she will die violently in up to 7 days.

As the only one with direct bloodline in the Britannia Empire, he will naturally become the 14th emperor of the Britannia Empire.

At present, many people in the country are dissatisfied with Ilsa.

As long as Ilsa dies and Kong Nan launches a financial offensive to help him win over all the people he can, his throne will be very stable.

Yes, as long as Ilsa dies,

Then he can achieve the goal he has been working towards since his birth - to become the emperor of the Britannia Empire.

Gale looked quietly at the glass of grape juice that slowly moved towards Ilsa's lips.

The deep black grape juice reflected the reflection of Gale's cheek.

But I don’t know if it was because Gale was dazzled. Apart from his own cheek, Gale also saw other things in the reflection of this glass of wine.

He saw that when he was promoted to the high position of regent last year, he looked down at the civil and military ministers who were kneeling in front of them.

Those days were the first time Gale experienced what it felt like to be the supreme ruler of this country.

Although his title at the time was just regent, he was not nominally the supreme ruler of the country.

But judging from the situation at the time, Gale was the actual "emperor" of the Britannia Empire.

When he was still the crown prince, Gale had seen this scene of civil and military officials kneeling at their feet countless times, and he was tired of it.

But it was the scene he saw at that time that made the most profound impression on Gale.

What you see when you are the crown prince is completely different from what you see when you are the supreme ruler of the country.

Power is like a glass of fine wine, it only takes a few sips to make people intoxicated.

During those days, Gale was intoxicated with the pleasure of holding the highest power in the country.

Just recalling those days, the corners of Gale's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

--yes……

Gail whispered in his heart.

——As long as I kill Ilsa...

——As long as I kill Ilsa, I can become the new emperor of this country.

——I can achieve...the goal I have been working hard for since I can remember...

——I have been working hard to become the emperor of the Britannia Empire until now.

——This is the meaning of my life...

——I will be able to practice...the meaning of my life...!

This cup of poisonous grape juice is only about 2 fingers away from Ilsa's lips.

In about 2 or 3 seconds, Gale's long-cherished wish to become the emperor of the Britannia Empire will be fulfilled.

At this moment, the reflection of this cup of grape juice changed again.

Gale saw his father.

He saw the appearance of Gozewen when he was about to die.

At the same time, he also heard what Gozewen said to him before he died:

"Promise me - you will reconcile with Ilsa and return to the normal and warm father-daughter relationship before."

Even though Gozewen had passed away for a long time, Gozewen's words were still clear in Gail's ears, as if Gozewen was still telling him in his ear.

Then, the reflection of the wine changed again.

This time, it changed to a picture more than ten years ago.

It was a smiling face.

It was the smiling face of Ilsa when she was just born.

Gail, who had just become a father, took Ilsa from his deceased wife with trepidation.

Ilsa, who was still a little baby, lay in his arms and smiled at him.

This was the most beautiful smile Gail had ever seen in his life.

It was a treasure that he had always treasured in the depths of his mind...

...

...

Pah!

When the glass of grape juice was only a little distance away from Ilsa's lips, Gail suddenly raised his hand and knocked the grape juice in Ilsa's hand to the ground.

The crisp sound of glass shattering was heard.
