My hero, his enemy.
On Drikeles' side, he is certainly a hero.
But on the side of Otrus, Drekels is obviously an enemy.
But Rean can be considered Drekels' child? How should this account be calculated?
Do you want to tell the truth yourself?
Otherwise, this witch will definitely be dissatisfied when the truth is revealed.
It would be bad if something unexpected happened.
"that--"
Just when Rean wanted to tell the truth, the Iceberg Witch waved her hand.
"Don't worry, I didn't plan to do anything, it's just a loser's complaint.
Drekels was indeed a hero of his generation. After his victory, he did not kill them all. He left me and his descendants behind, and allowed them to continue to enjoy the status of being the first of the 'Four Famous Families'.
I asked myself that I couldn't do this. I had to accept this favor, so I just complained. "
Li En swallowed his words again, and his anxious heart also relaxed.
I have to admit that Drekels did something grand.
Rean had heard from the previous Duke Kane, one of the culprits in the civil war, that before the final battle, Ortrus secretly sent his child to the Kane family to avoid being implicated in the defeat.
But Drekels is not a fool. After capturing the imperial capital, is it difficult to check if there are any children? If I didn’t find it in the imperial capital, my first reaction would definitely be the Kane family.
The Kane family is the family from which Ortrus' mother came. Without Kane's support, Ortrus would not have become the strongest force in the "Lion War".
According to common sense, Drekels could have initiated liquidation of the Kane family afterwards, and it was not impossible to remove the Kane family under the prevailing circumstances.
Even if they are worried that the other party has been entrenched in the west for many years and has deep influence among the nobles, rash eradication may trigger a chain reaction and worsen the situation for the empire, which is already weakened by civil strife.
But there is no problem in appropriately cutting off titles and fiefdoms and cutting off his power, not to mention the reasonable requirement of tracing the descendants of the pseudo-emperor.
Moreover, the imperial royal family, the Anor family, has a long history, and its bloodline characteristics are extremely obvious and highly identifiable. It is unrealistic to play tricks like Li Dai Tao Zang.
If you think about it carefully, it's not like Drekels turned a blind eye and only killed the culprit, not harming his family and leaving a legacy for his brother.
Although with the passage of time, the Kane family has long forgotten this tolerance, but as a witness of that era, another ancestor of the bloodline will not forget it.
After thinking about it, Rean decided to continue with this topic:
"Your descendants are now in Livers and are students of the second branch of Torz."
"I know." Caster nodded, "It's the child named Miao Jie, I guess. That child is not very perceptive. It's probably that the characteristics of the witch and the Anor family are reflected in her. She is not a witch, but in some ways. She is more sensitive than the witch, and I am afraid she has noticed the changes in this land."
"Not just aware, but already foreseeing everything that might happen and actively preparing for it."
Miu Jie Yigret, the most hidden boss among Thors, is the super crossbow-level strategist who Rean said can accurately analyze and predict the future.
"Her strength is indispensable if we want to achieve the final victory."
"I see, but even she shouldn't have foreseen the existence of the Servant. She has never heard of such a thing - where did you get this power from?"
"I don't know either. I've said everything I know. This kind of thing is completely beyond my scope of cognition. I just feel that the mysterious existence has no malicious intent, and I do need this power. It will never be better than me. The future we see is even worse."
"Indeed." Caster was convinced. "About Miao Jie, do you need me to contact her?"
"Needed, but not now. Now is not the time. Neither she nor I are ready. I hope this will not cause you any displeasure."
"I'm not the kind of person who takes things too far. It's enough for me to reappear in the world like this and know that his descendants and I are living well. Let's go to the Imperial Museum."
"Aren't you going to come any closer? You can visit the area until you reach the guard area of the Guards."
"No, walking a few dozen subdistances won't make much difference."
Delekels Square is just in front of the main entrance of Balfrem Palace. From the square, you can already see the largest and oldest palace complex.
The main tone of the palace's exterior walls is crimson, and the surrounding buildings and imperial capital walls also follow this color tone, eventually earning the name "Crimson Imperial Capital".
As the true heart of the empire, too many things have happened here, and there have been many witches in the past, and the Iceberg Witch is just one of them.
However, since you can't go in and can only watch from a distance, the distance really doesn't mean much. A glance at it as a memorial or memory is enough.
After taking one last look at the government office area in the palace, Rean withdrew his gaze and led Caster out of Delekels Square and towards the Imperial Museum.
As a place to display historical and cultural heritage, the museum cannot be too far away from Balfrem Palace and can be reached in just ten minutes' walk.
Because it is an official venue with a serious atmosphere, its popularity has never been high, and there are many historical documents and antiquities on display. It was eventually chosen by Rean as a place for witch nostalgia.
However, when Rean and Caster arrived near the museum, they were surprised to find an unexpectedly large number of people, almost occupying both sides of the street. There were military police in front of the crowd to maintain order.
It can be seen from the iconic blue-grey military uniforms that they are the elite "Railway Gendarmerie" famous in the empire. Generally, they are only allowed to accompany extremely important people when they travel, and if they are any less important, they will only be the "Imperial Military Police".
"Caster, tone down the hint a little, and I'll go ask."
Suggestion is one of the witch's secret techniques, which can interfere with the spirit. This time's suggestion is mainly ignored.
Rean is known to everyone as the "Grey Knight", and the Witch is a beauty who brings disaster to the country and people. She is the focus of everyone's attention wherever she goes, which is inconsistent with the original intention of covert operations.
With the cover of suggestion, even if someone sees them, they will pretend not to have seen them, and the sounds they make will fall on deaf ears.
After receiving Caster's affirmative reply, Rean approached a passerby nearby.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but who is coming today? It's so grand."
"It's the crown jewel of our empire, Her Royal Highness Princess Elfin."
Li En's body shook quietly.
Princess Elfin, who is also Rean's old friend, met two years ago and experienced many things together. The last time they met was at the celebration banquet at the end of the "Northern Campaign" a few months ago.
In addition, she is also the best friend of Rean's sister Elysee. The two often act together, including attending various important events.
Alfin is here, could it be that Alice is also——
Thinking this way, Li En's eyes showed a hint of expectation.
