Chapter 644 Your Majesty? !
Alec gritted his teeth and tried hard to break free from the heavy wool blanket, but he was lifted into the air and no matter how hard he struggled, he had no strength.

Almost everyone stretched out their hands to lift up Alec. Jonas on the other side was not treated so well. He was put in a sack and held under the armpit by a strong man.

The two were carried through several doors and they seemed to have left the Tower of All Arts because Alec could feel the discomfort of teleportation - this would never happen inside the tower.

Finally everyone stopped and Alec was carefully placed on the ground.

An old servant came over tremblingly and untied the blanket. Alec wanted to jump up, but a spell hit him and he suddenly collapsed.

The old man held back tears and stroked Alec's face with his rough, skinny hands. "Yes, it looks alike. Very much like him."

Alec was covered in hair. "Like what?"

The old man showed a surprised look: "Of course it looks like the great late emperor! Your grandfather."

"The late emperor? Grandfather? I haven't even seen my biological parents!"

"Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was murdered by the Allied Dogs. They said it was done by the minions of the evil god, but we all know who the murderer is! I thought you would be protected by Richard when you went to the Earl's Territory, but he...he actually gave you to a dwarf to raise!"

The old man became more and more excited, stamping his feet and cursing Richard Dahlberg: "Traitor! Accomplice! Wizard!"

Others echoed, and the bustling sound echoed in the hall. Alec then noticed that he was at the highest point of the hall. At first glance, it looked magnificent, but in fact there was a stale and musty smell, and there was a whirring sound in the distance.

"Where the hell am I?"

"Where the allied dogs can't find us, Your Majesty." The old man tried to straighten his back to show his pride and pride. "The late emperor foresaw the danger to the empire, and in his later years secretly commissioned the dwarves to forge a starship for the empire. Unfortunately, the original plan was to form a fleet, but only our flagship was actually delivered.

"The flagship's throne has always been empty, but now it finally has a master who is qualified to sit on it - His Majesty Alexius I!"

After that, the old man called the guards without saying anything, and lifted up the powerless Alec and moved him to the throne. This big chair was not comfortable to sit on, it was made by dwarves, and the cold metal surface was frozen and hard.

When he sat on it, the people in the hall, no, should I say the people in the palace, shouted: "His Majesty Alex I!"

Alec had a sense of absurdity. On the one hand, he felt that he was watching a farce, with people in the audience he didn't know, wearing retro and old-fashioned costumes and performing rituals he had never seen before. On the other hand, he felt that he was a puppet, a marionette and a statue. In fact, at this moment he had no freedom or autonomy at all.

The old man continued to chatter away, claiming to be a court baron appointed by the previous emperor and the current chief of ceremonies. Alec, with sympathy for the mentally ill, could only listen to the court baron's "advice" helplessly:
"Your Majesty, you will be an adult in four days."

I didn't expect that they even knew their own birthdays. Does that seem like their life stories are credible?

"Then it will be the day of the glorious restoration of the empire! We will support you to officially ascend the throne and present you with a great gift - we will launch a major offensive against the alliance!"

"The alliance is powerful, are you also powerful?" Alec remembered a knight novel he had read, in which the protagonist charged at the dragon with a rusty lance.

"We... Your Majesty, please do not be deceived by appearances. Although the alliance is now powerful, it is not a solid block inside. In the past few decades, they have forced the imperial people who came to the star realm for refuge to change their identities, which is unpopular. In addition, they have also been at war with Navalois, and some settlements are in dire straits.
"We have many loyal subjects who have never forgotten the glory of the empire and have always contributed to the great cause. We also have the support of Emperor Valois, who once said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"In other words, you are not short of people or money?"

"Yes, that's right!" The old servant was very happy. The fact that His Majesty asked about these matters showed that he was concerned about the restoration cause.

Unexpectedly, Alec complained: "So when the New Imperial Capital and the Northern Earldom were in such trouble, why didn't you loyal imperial officials support us? We were having such a hard time on the ground, but the allies sent us aid and support from time to time.

"If they hadn't sponsored food and supported weapons and equipment, I might not be alive today." This stumped the "loyal surviving members of the empire". The earl of the court stammered, "That's... That's the earl. He is a complete traitor who has sided with the alliance. We can't aid the enemy!

"And we were once very weak, and we have accumulated strength until now to have the capital to start a rebellion. I hope you can understand."

The other "loyal ministers" below also bowed their heads and shouted: "I hope Your Majesty understands!"

The old man began his mental attack again. He endlessly recalled the deeds of His Majesty William II. Alec really wanted to hear about his relatives, but the characters he heard from the baron's mouth were not human at all. He seemed to be listening to some distant story. In comparison, Alec and Voge's memories were much more vivid.

After he finished speaking, the old man saw that Alec was drowsy, so he decided to use some "strong medicine": "Your Majesty, when you come of age, we will select a queen for you. Now there are three families willing to offer their most beautiful daughters to you. You can choose a wife according to your own wishes, and the others will be..."

Before he could finish his words, the lights in the hall suddenly flickered.

This minor anomaly did not attract the attention of the loyal officials of the empire, but the Star Tower Mage who was waiting for the ending in the crowd frowned and his hair stood on end.

The space in the hall is shaking!

He gritted his teeth and tried to activate the teleportation scroll he carried with him and run away, but a cloud of smoke burst out from the scroll, and it was obvious that teleportation was prohibited here.

It’s too late, it’s over!
Sure enough, a crack was torn in the middle of the hall, and a large number of allied special forces soldiers and armed puppets rushed out from it, like a tide rushing into the sand pile built by the loyal ministers of the empire, immediately causing chaos.

In panic, the court baron shouted, wanting to order the guards to delay time and take Alec and the hostage Jonas away, but when he looked carefully, he found that the throne was empty.

At this moment, Richard was holding his own child in his left hand and the son of his old client in his right hand. Judging from his angry expression, Jonas, who was still sleeping soundly, would have a hard time when he got home. As for the young man on his right, he smiled and said, "Should I also call you His Majesty Alexius I?"

"No, no, no, that's too scary. I mean, that's too stupid. Just call me by my name. Alek sounds more friendly."

Richard nodded, satisfied with Congxin's answer: "That's good."

Caroline finally walked out of the space-time rift. She patted the desperate Star Tower Mage on the shoulder and said, "Cooperate with the investigation actively. We won't make things difficult for you."

"Yes, yes, I will tell you everything I know, it's Emperor Paul"

"That's not the place to talk about." Caroline said and walked up to the court baron. Now all the remaining loyalists of the empire have been captured and controlled.

"You are very courageous. You dare to kidnap an Allied citizen and an apprentice of our tower."

“This is not kidnapping”

Caroline was too lazy to talk nonsense: "Take the people away and seal up the ship."

"Why? This is the Empire's asset! You filthy allied dogs, don't touch the late Emperor's relics!"

"Based on the Safe Magic Technology Promotion Agreement, this is an international law signed by the Empire more than 60 years ago. We have reason to suspect that this starship uses alchemical technology that is not in compliance with regulations and standards. Otherwise, how could it successfully evade our pursuit for decades?

"Thank you for not taking away the two apprentices' drive meters when you kidnapped them. We were finally able to track them down here."

The court baron's eyes turned black and he almost vomited blood as he followed the late emperor.
