"Military genius brings Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()" Find the latest chapter!
Ilsa thought that Camille would be heartbroken or roar at her angrily after learning this fact.
However——no.
Camille did nothing to Ilsa.
Ilsa buried her head low, ready to meet all the roars, insults and reprimands from Camille.
In the end, nothing happened.
Ilsa raised her head carefully.
Camille maintained the same posture as before, still shrinking in the same place.
His expression was the same as before, neither sad nor happy.
"Is that so..." Camille said in a calm tone.
"Did you really kill them both?"
At this point, Camille, who was originally expressionless, showed a few smiles with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"I guessed it a long time ago, Your Majesty."
"I guessed a long time ago that you would use the means of counter-espionage to frame El and Gabriel and the others."
"After all, there is no strategy in this world that is more useful than counter-espionage."
"As long as there is a greedy and shameless guy on the other side."
"And if this greedy and shameless guy happens to be a powerful guy, then it will be easy to use the counter-espionage."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for coming to tell me this news."
When saying the word "thank you", Camille emphasized his tone.
"Then - Your Majesty, do you have anything else to do?"
"If there is nothing, please leave here."
"I... don't want to see you."
"..."Ilsa silently looked at Camille in prison.
Then slowly took out a small glass bottle filled with black powder from her pocket.
"Camille... please swallow this."
After that, Ilsa put the small glass bottle on the ground in the prison.
Camille's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard what Ilsa said.
After staring at Ilsa in astonishment for a while, Camille's eyes finally returned to calm.
"Is that so..."
Camille chuckled softly.
"Your Majesty... you are becoming more and more like an emperor."
"Not only is your ambition becoming more and more like an emperor."
"Even your cruelty is becoming more and more like an emperor."
"I am a threat to you, so you decided to kill me?"
"...Camille." Ilsa said softly, "I don't think you will be loyal to me until death and assist me wholeheartedly after El and Gabriel are killed."
"It would be fine if you were just a mediocre person."
"But the problem is... your ability is too terrible."
"If you defect to the enemy, it will be a disaster for our Britannia Empire."
"I... must avoid such a disaster."
"Camille... I'm sorry..."
...
...
This space sank into the quagmire called "dead silence" for a while before it gradually regained its vitality.
"... Heh."
Camille sneered.
"Your Majesty...you...have grown up..."
"If it were you when I first met you, you wouldn't be so cruel."
"I witnessed the birth of an iron-blooded emperor with my own eyes...it's a blessing."
"I have done a lot of cruel things since the Britannia Empire...historians of later generations can't bear to read about them in detail."
"I took away the land of all the vassals in the empire."
"I went to the New World to capture the local indigenous people as slaves."
"I have done so many cruel things, this is my retribution."
"At the end of my life, I died of drinking poison in a dark and cramped cage...ha, I never thought of dying in this way before..."
Camille walked slowly and
picked up the medicine that Ilsa had placed on the prison floor.
"Your Majesty...this is the last thing I do for you."
"I wish you...good luck in the future."
...
...
Ilsa put her hands behind her back and walked slowly out of the underground prison.
Although there was no expression on Ilsa's face.
However... anyone who is not a fool can see that Ilsa's current emotions are quite... indescribable.
She doesn't feel angry.
She doesn't feel sad either...
That night, a piece of important news spread throughout Pendragon: Camille, who had been imprisoned in prison, was so grief-stricken upon learning of the deaths of El and Gabriel that he could not catch his breath - he died.
Some people were indifferent to the news of Camille's death, while others were furious.
Some ministers raised their doubts: Camille was still young, how could he have such a common cause of death for the elderly.
But these ministers who dared to raise doubts were only a minority after all.
The vast majority of ministers remained silent.
However - the reason these ministers remained silent was not because they were indifferent or they didn't care about the matter.
They just didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
Everyone knew that since the Holy Hilan Empire's war of annihilation began, the relationship between Ilsa and Camille had always been delicate.
On the eve of launching the second war to annihilate the Holy Hilan Empire, Ilsa even imprisoned Camille on suspicion of "treason and treason".
Now Camille died for an inexplicable reason - most people could sense that there must be something fishy.
But they did not dare to interfere too much in this matter, so as not to offend His Majesty.
So they tacitly determined a "fact" - Camille died because of grief and could not breathe.
And Camille's cause of death was written into the history books and Camille's biography...
...
...
The ministers of the central government of the Britannia Empire had not yet recovered from the important news of "Camille's death", and a more important news that shocked all the monarchs and ministers in the central government was once again passed to Pendragon.
This news is that a large-scale peasant rebellion broke out in the former Frankish Empire.
When this news first reached Pendragon, according to the report, there were thousands of peasant rebels who raised the flag of rebellion.
Now, it is unknown how many people there are.
This scale of peasant rebellion cannot be suppressed by local troops alone, and the Knights must be dispatched.
Which Knights' troops should be dispatched to quell the rebellion - this question became the first issue discussed by the central government of the Britannia Empire after learning that a peasant rebellion had occurred in the East.
There were various different opinions among the ministers.
Some advocated dispatching the Knights of Gabriel.
Some advocated dispatching the Knights of Raziel.
But few ministers advocated dispatching the Knights of Michael.
Because - the Knights of Michael have participated in every war of annihilation so far.
All the way to now, the current combat power of the Knights of Michael is less than half of what it was before the war of annihilation began...
For the Knights of Michael, who have suffered such a trauma, all the ministers in the central government of the Britannia Empire could not bear to let them go to the East to fight again.
