Chapter 609 Gabela's Change 7
Antonio came to the emperor's bedroom, but he lingered in front of the door for a long time, reluctant to go in.
Aldridge, who followed him, stepped forward and said to him: "Your Highness, since the incident has already happened, the next situation must be faced. Avoidance will not solve any problems."
"You are right, my bachelor." Antonio said.
He tidied his clothes, his face was stern, he raised his feet and walked up the stairs.
The guards standing at the door saluted him. Of course, these guards were Antonio's men. The emperor's original guards had been arranged elsewhere.
As soon as Antonio entered the door, he saw Ambrov standing there. Ambrov walked up and said: "Your Highness, your father is in a low mood now. He needs the comfort of his loved ones. Please go in quickly."
Antonio patted Ambrov on the shoulder, "You did a good job, thank you for your guard, thank you for protecting my father."
After that, he passed Ambrov and walked into the bedroom inside.
On the bed in the bedroom, there was an old man with a haggard face and a sad expression. The emperor of the Gabela Empire seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.
His eyes had lost their former luster and were full of turbidity. His hair became messy because of his own tearing. The skin lost its luster and became dull.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to no longer care about the things in the outside world. Even when Antonio walked into the room, Bartley Griffin did not raise his head.
The court maid standing by the bed saw Antonio coming and showed a look of awe in her eyes. Now she knew that the young man in front of her was the future ruler of this empire. His words would determine the fate of countless people.
The maid bowed and Antonio waved his hand to let her leave. The prince came to the bed and whispered, "Father, I'm here."
It was not until then that Emperor Bartley Griffin slowly raised his head, "You are here?" He said, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
Antonio sat down gently on the edge of the bed. The emperor looked at his second son beside him. Suddenly, he stretched out his arms and hugged Antonio tightly, and burst into tears.
Ambrov, who was outside the door, heard the emperor's cry and rushed in immediately, and then saw this scene.
Antonio also stretched out his arms and hugged his father tightly, and his eyes became wet.
Antonio said slowly: "Father, I will govern this country better. It will become the greatest country in history and carry the glory of every human being."
Antonio stayed in his father's room for half an hour before coming out. Outside, he saw a person who surprised him-Siegfried.
Antonio went forward and hugged him, "My friend, my brother, I need you so much now."
Siegfried responded to his hug warmly, "I will always stay by your side, Your Highness."
He looked at the bedroom door and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty... How is he?"
Antonio shook his head, "This incident has hit him too hard. My father needs time to heal the sadness in his heart, but eventually he will realize that this is already a reality."
"Speaking of which. How did you appear here?"
According to the plan, Siegfried should have led the army with Marshal MacDonald to move to the vicinity of the imperial capital and attack the Acropolis where Duke Dias's confidants were stationed.
Siegfried smiled and said with some disdain: "Duke Dias's cronies are too vulnerable. Now only one Acropolis is still resisting."
"Marshal MacDonald said that it was more than enough for him to command the army, so he asked me to lead some soldiers back to the imperial capital to deter those guys who were still sitting on the fence."
Antonio said: "When we took action, Duke Dias got the news from somewhere and ran away. He ran outside the imperial capital and hid. We haven't found him yet. So I suspect he is hiding in this Acropolis that is still resisting. Send someone to notify Marshal MacDonald. Be careful and don't let the Duke himself and any remnants go."
"Your Highness, I will do it well, please rest assured!" Siegfried answered very seriously.
After coming out of the emperor's bedroom, Antonio convened a meeting of the Ten-Man Group.
"Your Highness!" Master Matt proposed his own proposal at the meeting.
"Barnett has disappeared for too long, we should go and find him back. "
As the most powerful melee spellcaster, Barnett holds a pivotal position in the Secret Society and is the undisputed leader of their faction. But embarrassingly, there has been no news about Barnett for several years.
In the early days, the top leaders of the Secret Society did not take it seriously, because Barnett was arrogant, always alone, and always did his own thing. His personality was not pleasing, and absorbing him as a member of the ten-man group was a certain compromise.
Many people secretly rejoiced that this guy did not appear in front of them often.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!
But even so, as such an important figure, it is unacceptable for him to disappear from the organization for so long. He even missed such an important action of Prince Antonio to seize the imperial capital.
This is no longer a character defect! It is a serious dereliction of duty, and he must be punished.
But before that, the Arcanum must find him. Find out what he is currently doing? Or is he no longer in this world. In fact, many people hope it is the latter.
Antonio said: "Considering that he has not been back to Gabeira for such a long time, we have to take into account the possibility that Barnet has rebelled."
"I agree with your idea!" Master Matt nodded.
"And in order to deal with his possible rebellion, we must send powerful people to deal with him. After all, Barnett is a powerful melee spellcaster, and we need a group of ten to deal with him. Your Highness, you will appoint Bar!"
"I would like to hear your opinion, Master Matt."
Dougherty Matt thought for a while, "I suggest that Master O'Dennell and Ms. Red Flame Mariana be appointed to find Barnett. O'Dennell is a master who is good at spiritual magic and has a strong restraint on Barnett. And Ms. Mariana is good at controlling flames. If Barnett rebels, the two of them will be able to punish him. Moreover, the last trace of Barnett's activities is in Aldo. She is from Aldo. It’s very familiar there.”
"If that's the case, then so be it."
Antonio agreed with Dougherty Matt's suggestion.
