Chapter 20 Noah Royne

March 30, 332 AD.

Or the Imperial Conference Hall?

There are still a group of people sitting around the round table from last time.

However, the number is smaller than last time.

"Then, this is the detailed report on the dove explosion in the central fountain of the royal capital."

He was still the familiar speaker, looking at the manuscript in his hand without focus. After reading the things recorded above, he bowed to everyone and left.

There was silence. Everyone on the round table looked at me and I looked at you.

A very depressing feeling pervaded everyone.

The third person, this is already the third person.

This is already the third person who has been transferred to the correction department of the royal capital to succeed Yanmo Noine.

Of the two before, one disappeared and one committed suicide, and now another one has arrived and was killed by an explosion.

To say that there is nothing fishy in this, no one believes it.

"Um……"

Colt still looked the same, sitting in his seat with his head bowed and his eyes closed in deep thought.

No one knew what he was thinking or whether he was in a good or bad mood.

But at this time, no one wants to get into trouble.

"snort."

After a while, Colt opened his eyes, stood up from his position and was about to leave.

This time, he didn't say anything, and there was no need to say anything.

Everyone knew that after these few incidents, the emperor was very impatient with him and he was under a lot of pressure.

This time, he will definitely be cautious and may even take action himself.

As long as Colt takes action personally, there is no chance of an accident happening.

No one present would deny this.

However, the premise is that he can have this opportunity.

Crunch…

There was a slow sound and the door opened.

A woman walked in.

Still the same woman who came in last time.

The emperor's maid, the queen's ambassador.

"Lord Colt, please stop."

She changed her gentle and mocking attitude last time and became extremely cold.

Those sharp eyes scanned everyone on the field.

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

It was like a sharp blade scraping their skin, bringing a biting chill.

"What do you mean?"

Colt looked at the woman and asked in a deep voice.

However, the woman just glanced at him faintly and did not respond.

Just when Colt was about to get angry, she spoke.

"Lord Noya, here we come."

The calm voice made Colt's pupils shrink even among the others.

Noya, this name, no one can ignore.

Even the emperor must give in three points.

It is only because of her that the conservative faction of the old aristocracy can survive to this day.

Noah is the biggest enemy of all reformists.

"Good morning, every body."

While everyone's heart was beating wildly,

A dull voice with a hint of laziness came from outside the door.

Noya wore a floor-length red dress without makeup, and her stunning face was enough to put every woman in the world to shame.

She walked slowly from the door with strong steps.

"I have met Your Majesty."

"I have met Your Majesty."

"I have met Your Majesty."

The moment everyone, including Colt, saw Noya, they knelt down on one knee without a trace of hesitation and lowered their heads, which were much arrogant than others.

Those who were sitting on the round table had to kick away their chairs and face Noya. They could only look at the ground and count the countless dust.

"Everyone, there is no need to be polite."

Noya smiled lightly, and the woman who was standing aside quickly took a chair and placed it behind her.

"I came today just because I heard some interesting news."

"I hope you guys can give me some answers."

Noah sat down on the chair gracefully and looked at Colt.

"It is said that the position of Corrector in the Royal Capital Department has been vacant for a long time."

"The several successors who were sent were unable to succeed due to various reasons."

"Sir Colt, can you tell me if this is the case?"

Colt lowered his head and said nothing.

"Lord Colt, Your Majesty is asking you something."

The woman raised her eyebrows and shouted.

"……yes."

"Everything you heard is true."

Colt then responded in a low voice.

"oh?"

"This is really a wonderful thing."

"Sir Colt, it is really rare for such a mistake to happen."

Noah crossed his legs and looked down at Colt.

"If that's the case, why not let people who are already in the Royal Capital Department directly serve?"

"In that case, there would be no possibility of such a risk."

Her voice was soft,

However, everyone present was suffocated.

Originally, they thought that Noya was just here to ridicule, but now it seems that the person who came here is obviously evil.

"Your Majesty, all the personnel in the Royal Capital Department were killed when Yanmo defected."

Colt replied.

He felt that Noya was humiliating him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't refute.

"Yeah?"

Hearing this, Noya smiled,

That smile was beautiful, but also cold.

She stretched out a white arm towards the woman.

The woman quickly put a document that had been prepared in her hand.

"This is really strange."

Noah flipped the documents casually and threw one of the pages to Colt.

The document was light, like a feather, and fell on Colt's head without any weight.

But at the same time, for Colt, it was like a mountain, pressing on his noble self-esteem.

His eyes were full of bloodshot when he lowered his head.

However, even so, he just endured it and trembled to take the thin paper from his head.

His appearance was rare and embarrassing,

However, no one at the round table laughed, no matter whether they had been hostile to Colt before.

For the humiliation Colt suffered, they felt only pity.

"What is this?"

Colt was stunned when he saw the things on the paper.

"Isn't there still someone alive?"

"I think this person named Ivy Gray is very suitable to be the leader of the capital department."

"She was able to survive that tragic rebellion, which proves that she is good enough."

Noah said indifferently.

Now, everyone understood that

the purpose of her trip was this.

However, they still couldn't guess the relationship between this person named Ivy Gray and Noah.

A subordinate? But the correctors have been screened through many rounds, and there should be no conservative people.

So, just for the sake of the overall situation? That's even more ridiculous.

Noah, this woman, has never been a person who thinks about the overall situation.

For her own purpose, she can do all kinds of crazy things, even if it means splitting the entire empire.

"She is just a survivor and can't take on heavy responsibilities."

No matter what others think, Colt knows very well that he can't agree to this matter.

It didn't matter whether Ivy Gray was a conservative or not. He only knew that once he agreed to Noah's request, regardless of Ivy's position, he would definitely lose control of the capital department.

Because even if Ivy Gray was a reformist, she was definitely not the core.

Such people were very likely to defect. Noah stepped forward this time. Even if Ivy was not her person, she was likely to be pulled to that side by her.

So, he couldn't agree.

"So, do you want to send someone from outside again?"

"Then, let them lose their lives again?"

"Sir Colt, the lives of the people of the empire are not pawns in your power field. You are not qualified to do this."

Noah's voice obviously became colder.

"Even so, without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, you have no right to force me!"

Colt gritted his teeth and looked up at Noah.

Even if they had different positions, he had to sigh at Noah's beauty.

It seemed that God gave her all his love, which made her face that should not exist in the world.

"......Heh."

At this time, Colt found that Noah was smiling.

She stood up, walked in front of Colt, and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Who do you think you are talking to?"

"How insolent."

This sentence was very calm, without any scolding,

But at this moment, Colt's blood seemed to have solidified.

It was not because of strength, but the pressure of pure aura.

This is not a gap in level, but a gap in class.

In front of Noah, Colt is not even as good as a reptile.

"..."

Colt was so humiliated that he gritted his teeth and did not respond.

Not only because of instinctive fear, but also because Noah was the strongest person in the entire empire except the emperor.

"......It's really boring."

Noah looked at Colt's appearance and shook his head.

"Give the thing to him."

Noah turned and left after leaving this sentence.

Things?

Colt was still confused,

The woman took out a scroll from her arms and threw it to Colt.

"Lord Colt, this is the order of His Majesty."

"Take your time to read it."

After she finished walking, she also left.

After the two of them left one after the other, the heavy and oppressive atmosphere suddenly cleared up.

Everyone seemed to acquiesce that nothing had happened just now, and looked at the scroll in Colt's hand.

[Order, Ivy Gray is the head of the Corrector King's Capital. ]

Colt opened the scroll, and there was only this sentence written on it.

It was very plain, but his face turned pale in an instant.

This big man felt more painful than the humiliation he had just suffered.

Everyone at the round table was silent, looking at Colt silently.

They all understood what this meant.

The emperor had lost patience with him.
