Flemont paused.

"Are you planning to help them get promoted?"

"Do you have any better choice?"

Qiao Yelan asked back.

Because of Herhunzollon's power and majesty, the electors in the entire Leithania were like Kunpeng and quail compared to him, so he was too lazy to place people in those families and cultivate chess pieces - as a result, Herhunzollon died suddenly, and when Qiao Yelan looked around, the only ones who were worthy of his attention were the twin sisters.

"Well, that's fine. At least I can be considered one of their 'elders'. But - do I have to tell them all the truth?"

"Just tell them about the [Tower of Origin] and the virtual world. As for the rest, do you think they really don't know anything about it? But you have to remember that if they ask about related topics, you can just say that you only gave them a theoretical formula and let them ask me."

Qiao Yelan gave Fremont a displeased look.

"It will be the same this time. When the time comes, just don't say a word and just stand behind me and support me. I don't want to have to start from scratch to regain trust when time is so tight."

The old lich nodded and continued to push the wheelchair forward.

"They are now stationed in the square in front of the [Tower of Origin]. The Golden Law Guards have also moved there. In addition to their people, the boy from the Hochberg family is also stationed here with his private army in Viduniya."

"I know this. This is not a good thing for becoming emperor. It will make other electors eager to make a move. But for me, this is a good thing."

There was a hint of relief in the man's tone.

"Even though they now control the Golden Law Guards and have conquered a much larger army than the remnants of the Hochberg family, they still haven't forcibly expelled their former comrades who once fought side by side. At least for now, Helinmart and Ivignad are still not tainted by the stench of politics."

Chapter 13 Gift

"I am Professor Fremont of Ludwig University, and I would like to see Her Highness Helinmart and Her Highness Ivignad."

As expected, the two were stopped outside the square.

"I'm sorry, but no non-combatants are allowed to approach here. Please return to your tower."

The soldiers on guard had no intention of letting them pass, nor did they have any intention of reporting it.

Qiao Yelan turned his head and saw a team of Golden Law Guards standing behind him, and handed the document in his hand to Fremont.

The old lich immediately understood what Qiao Yelan meant. He activated this copy, and the power of the Golden Law Music and the power of the Witch King began to fluctuate at the same time, instantly attracting the attention of the Golden Law Guards.

"What's going on? What's that in your hand?"

Under the armor, the captain of the magic guards asked in a deep voice.

"This is a copy of the Golden Rule that was once stored by the Witch King at Ludwig University. The Witch King's spells remain on it. Now that the Witch King is dead, I hope to meet with your highnesses and return it to the new emperor for safekeeping."

The Golden Law Guard hesitated.

"I can pass the message on your behalf, but I'm not sure whether His Highness will receive you. But whether His Highness receives you or not, you cannot leave with this copy for the time being."

"of course."

Frémont put away the copy and said calmly.

They didn't have to wait too long, the summons came soon.

The old lich pushed Qiao Yelan's wheelchair through the open space that had become a military camp and saw the command center set up at the entrance of the high tower.

"Your Highness Helinmart, Your Highness Ivignad, the two people who were carrying the copy of the Golden Rule have been brought here."

"Let them in."

The Golden Law Guards made way for them and the two of them walked into the tent.

"Teacher?"

The two people in the tent were obviously surprised.

"Long time no see, Helinmart, Ivignad."

Qiao Yelan greeted them with a smile.

Helinmart, dressed in black armor, almost rushed to Qiao Yelan's side.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you? Who - who hurt you!"

Ivignad, wearing white armor, followed closely behind, looking at Qiao Yelan with worry.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just recovered from a serious illness and my body is not yet healthy. Okay, stop pinching me. This wheelchair is still new and I don't want to change it so quickly."

Qiao Yelan comforted Helinmart, who was holding the armrest of his wheelchair so tightly that it creaked.

"Teacher, why didn't you inform us when you came back? Vidunia is in such a mess right now."

Ivignad stood quietly beside Qiao Yelan and looked at Frémont with a wary and scrutinizing attitude.

"Now that you're back, you can live with us. With my sister and I here, we can definitely guarantee your safety."

"I'm sorry, I didn't come back just to see you this time. I have something very important to do. But before I explain this, I want to ask you--"

Qiao Yelan raised his head and looked at the two girls.

"Are you interested in the throne of Leitania?"

This question stunned both twins.

They had been thinking and hesitating, or to put it bluntly, they didn't know what to do next.

Killing the Witch King was their mission, and playing for the wounded was out of their kindness, and these actions earned them respect and obedience, and even the Golden Law Guards bowed their heads to them.

The purpose of taking down the Heidenschwill Legion was purely for self-preservation. Qiao Yelan's sporadic teachings to them allowed them to accurately grasp the key points at this time. After quickly purging a group of senior officers with iron-blooded means, they used the Witch King's treasury to maintain people's hearts.

In fact, they have realized that they are only one step away from the throne of emperor, but because of their previous education except for the special lessons given by Qiao Yelan, they have hardly been exposed to too many things related to politics, so it always seems like there is a veil between them.

"Teacher, you mean... the throne of Leitania?"

"Of course, the previous emperor died, and you are now leading the army of the Heidenschweil region, occupying Vidunia, and have been recognized by the Golden Rule - every standard for becoming an emperor is met."

While Helinmart was still immersed in the confusion brought by the shock, Ivignad had already revealed a hint of realization.

Qiao Yelan took in the expressions of both of them.

"Teacher...you already knew about Elector Leopold's plan. You knew that he simply regarded us as pawns and wanted to get rid of us secretly and reap the benefits. That's why you completely wiped out the entire Leopold family when we were fighting the Witch King?"

The white sister asked in a low voice.

"I'm sorry I'm late - you shouldn't have been allowed to face Helhunzollon at this time, because he is too powerful and you are still so young... so I only had time to get rid of Leopold."

The man's face showed a guilty expression, which then turned into relief.

"I was really happy to hear that you were still alive, and you acted very quickly. It's obvious that my teachings were not in vain. You are all my proud students."

The girls all showed proud smiles on their faces, and Helinmart held Qiao Yelan's hand tightly.

"Thank you, teacher. If it weren't for you, we might still be used as pawns or even abandoned."

Fremont was now looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and all he could see were his leather shoes, as if the dirt and dust on them formed some mysterious magic formula.

He finally understood why Qiao Yelan told him not to say a single word.

For some reason, the old lich had begun to miss his own tower. Although it was dark and deep, it was at least simple enough.

"Teacher, if my sister and I were not interested in that position--"

"Lizelotte - Teacher, is the matter you mentioned related to the throne of the emperor? If you need me, I will take on that position."

The black sister interrupted her sister's words with a reproachful look, then leaned over to Qiao Yelan's ear and asked softly.

"Herlinmart, let your sister finish her words."

Qiao Yelan turned his head and looked at her seriously.

"You all know your own life experiences, and you all know what you are in everyone's eyes - but I am your teacher. In my eyes, you are all my students, and my students should not become pawns of anyone, not even my teacher."

"I can destroy the Leopold family. I naturally have my ability. So whether you become emperor or not, I can accomplish what I want to do. None of you sisters have to worry about my plan."

"Hildegarde, Liselotte, you have all grown up, and everything that has bound you has disappeared. You have the right to freely choose your own future."

"This is my gift to you, not a hat made of scrap copper and iron."

Chapter 14 The Art of Language

Helinmat and Ivignad went to the back of the tent to discuss their future.

Qiao Yelan quietly waited for the two sisters' private discussion, while Fremont continued to study the dust on his leather shoes.

"What do you think they will choose?"

Finally, the old lich couldn't hold it in anymore.

"They will probably refuse. Helinmart is the sword, and Ivignad is the shield. The sword only needs to attack forward, while the shield needs to protect the sword from attacks from all directions. So Ivignad is very clear about the price of ascending the throne."

"She loves her sister very much, and she also knows that her sister loves her very much."

Qiao Yelan said calmly.

“I actually hope they can refuse. After they have won over the people’s hearts and the mid- and low-level officers of the Heidenschwill Corps have tasted the sweetness, they no longer need the deterrent force of the Golden Law Guards to gain a foothold.

"If they want to be nobles, they can just return to the Heidenschweil region and replace Leopold with my help. If they want to live in seclusion, with their abilities, they can even travel around the world."

Flemont sighed. It was true. Given the twins' current strength, even he couldn't say that they had an absolute chance of winning.

"What a pity. In this case, your plan will probably be delayed for a long time."

"Why, do you, an old man, still care about time?"

Qiao Yelan teased.

"Humph, I am a lich. As long as I can learn knowledge, I never care about time. But you——"

"Shut up!"

The man suddenly turned pale and interrupted Fremont's words.

Old Lich:?

Why did this little thing turn against me?

Then he looked up and realized belatedly that the discussion between the two sisters had stopped at some point.

Fremont opened his mouth. With his ability, he could certainly eavesdrop on the conversation between the sisters, but he didn't want to intervene, and Qiao Yelan didn't ask for it, so he didn't pay any attention at all.

His conversation with Qiao Yelan was just for casual chatting, so he acted quite lazy and didn't even use his abilities. With the other party's current strength, it would be easy for him to hear their conversation.

What he originally wanted to say was - [You, are you going to leave this matter to me again and then go do something else? ]

The old lich just wanted to accuse Qiao Yelan of making him work overtime. After all, he knew very well that Qiao Yelan might have much more time than he did.

But when Qiao Yelan interrupted him and held back the second half of his words, the first half of his words would lead the twins, who were unaware of the truth, to a completely opposite way of thinking -

Qiao Yelan is not a lich, so does that mean he doesn’t have much time left?

And this guy happened to be sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in by himself!

Yes, Ivignad would refuse, and Helinmat loved her sister - so if she insisted, her sister would definitely compromise.

But what if they find that their choice actually requires their beloved teachers to pay a higher price?

Yvignad also loves her sister - so if her sister insists, will she compromise?

Flemont firmly shut his mouth and fixed his eyes firmly on his shoes.

He absolutely, absolutely would not talk to this man again.

--------------------------------------------------

"Teacher, we are willing - no, we want to inherit the throne of Leitania."

“Is this your final decision?”

Qiao Yelan's eyes were complicated, showing loss, worry, but more of happiness and relief.

It’s like a father watching his child finally grow up. Although he feels disappointed about his child’s rebelliousness, he is also sincerely happy that his child can make his own choices.

Ivignade looked into Qiao Yelan's eyes and nodded slightly.

"Yes, teacher, it has nothing to do with anyone. I want to give it a try - my sister also supports my decision."

Helinmart stood beside her sister and smiled.

"Okay...now that you've answered my questions, it's time for me to tell you about myself."

Qiao Yelan sighed and forced a smile.
