The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

These words coming from the mouths of you corrupt eunuchs...

It's absolutely ridiculous.

"Leon, when has the Finn family ever failed to obey the royal decree?"

Hibbate spoke in an angry tone.

Leon immediately understood what Hibbert meant. If he didn't offer a way out at this point, then it would be a problem with his emotional intelligence.

"The loyalty of the Finn family is beyond question, and I trust you."

Leon looked at Hibbert and smiled slightly.

"Then I shall take my leave."

Hibbert turned and slunk out of the room.

"Hibbate, what's wrong?"

Lev and Bazel, who were waiting outside, saw Hibbert come out and immediately stood up and asked curiously.

After all, in their eyes

If it's Leon...

We might still need to be wary.

But Leon is such a useless piece of trash.

It won't cause any trouble.

"My stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable, I'll tell you in a bit."

Hibbant didn't want to answer them and quickly left.

"Lord Lev, please come in."

Leon's voice came from inside the office.

"Lev, be careful. Leon might be up to something. Hibbert seems a bit off."

Barzel spoke.

"Heh, I'd like to see what this kid can do to me!"

Lev pushed open the door without fear.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Changing Room

A short while later,

Duke Bazel then waited until Lev came out.

Lev, like Hibbert, was completely devoid of the arrogance he had displayed before entering the room.

Bazel, who was about to ask him what Leon had said,

Lev's attitude was the same as Hibbert's.

He quickly found an excuse to avoid Barzel.

Then he fled with lightning speed.

what!

Is this Leon really that scary?

What's with those two old guys, running away in such a pathetic state?

Ha ha,

Even his father, Julius Caesar, had to give him face!

So what if you're a regent?!

This duke would like to see.

What can he do to me!

With this in mind, Bazel entered the room.

The result was the same as that of Hibbert and Lev.

Bazel also emerged looking disheveled.

When he went out, his pot-bellied, roly-poly-like body almost tripped over the wool carpet.

"Lord Bazel, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Eagle Eye, who had been standing by the door against the wall, said politely.

"I am fine."

Bazel steadied himself, straightened his tie with his right hand, and then, feigning composure, raised his head and left.

Although they are separated by only one door,

However, Caesar's office automatically generates a soundproof barrier once a conversation begins.

This protective barrier comes from the blessing of the gods.

So even a powerful demigod like Hawkeye...

They couldn't hear anything happening inside.

So Leon spoke to each of the three dukes.

It's incredible that these three tough guys could suddenly change their personalities so drastically.

Hawkeye was very curious.

Although he admired the Second Prince's strategy, Hawkeye felt that the Second Prince could never have persuaded the three dukes of the Empire in less than ten minutes and made them so submissive.

Could it be that

Was the eldest prince putting on an act all along?

His useless image is just what he wants outsiders to see.

He's just waiting for an opportunity.

After all, the regent is the emperor's younger brother and has real power. The current empress is Leon's biological mother, so Leon has the empress's protection. Only the eldest prince has no power to support him.

If we confront each other head-on,

He was no match for the Regent and Leon.

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye suddenly gasped.

If that's really the case

To be able to endure for so many years

The eldest prince,

It's so scary!

The door opened, and Leon walked out of the room, his face slightly pale.

He was actually very nervous throughout the whole process.

Fortunately, this psychological battle...

He won.

"Your Highness Leon."

Hawkeye gave a slight bow.

"Your Excellency, I'm going to the conference room. Please move the main force of the Knights here, citing the reason as protecting the lives of the council members and representatives."

Leon nodded slightly to Hawkeye, then gave the order.

"Your Highness, this would weaken the defenses of other parts of the palace."

Hawkeye reminded.

"Just do as I say."

Leon didn't want to explain, nor did he need to; he was now the supreme leader.

This is the drawback of the supreme imperial power.

With just a word from the emperor

Even a grandson can ride on his grandfather's head!

but,

Leon had his reasons for doing so.

He is unusually calm now.

Because he knew how malicious the world was towards him.

The reason he did this was

First, this will put pressure on the old Bitdens in the meeting room, making them understand whose territory this is.

Secondly, at this point in time, Helena should have already started preparing to escape, concentrating most of her main forces here, which would make her departure easier.

Third, it can prevent accidents to the greatest extent and protect one's life safety.

After all, Leon didn't know what Helena was thinking. If she still wanted to kill him, then doing this would greatly reduce the chances of him being caught alone.

"Um... OK."

Hawkeye cannot disobey Leon's orders, at least not openly, so he has no choice but to obey.

"Okay, get on it quickly, and it would be best to mobilize them all."

After giving one last word of advice, Leon headed towards the conference room.

hiss,

This eldest prince is no ordinary person.

Prince Leon is not here.

I simply couldn't understand what he was trying to do.

We're in a really passive position.

Hawkeye sighed inwardly, realizing at that moment how important reading was.

From a young age, he was obsessed with martial arts and didn't like to delve into things that required brainpower. As a result, he always felt that his brain wasn't enough to handle the extremely complex imperial palace.

There was no other way; even though I didn't understand it, I still had to do as Leon said.

Soon, the palace's defenses were rapidly mobilized...

In a women's dressing room in the palace,

In one of the small dressing rooms,

In front of the glass mirror hanging on the wall,

A girl with chestnut hair and black eyes is looking at herself in the mirror. Her oval face with a double chin has fine freckles.

She was dressed in the uniform maid outfit worn by everyone in the palace. Her features were ordinary and not particularly beautiful. Her appearance was the kind that you would not feel anything after just one glance, and would not leave any impression at all.

If a more appropriate term were to describe him, it would be "passerby A".

However, judging from the woman's expression, she showed no signs of anxiety about her appearance at all, and was actually quite satisfied with her looks.

This wasn't because she was narcissistic, nor because she was overconfident, because this wasn't her original appearance at all. She had changed herself to look like this simply to make her next move easier.

Helena once healed a diviner from an empire who possessed a skill called "Faceless".

You can change your appearance according to your own wishes.

So Helena became like this because she used the extraordinary power of "Faceless".

Now,

I don't think anyone will recognize me now, right?
