Chapter 866 The Greedy Nobles
In Sean’s mansion, Elizabeth finally found three trustworthy people she could confide in.
Sean, Lu Yu, and Han Xuefei were all people she trusted.
As for the other royal family members, she could not trust a single one of them.
People who were part of the power struggle here were all stained with greed.
On the other hand, General Sean had been fighting outside all year round. He was used to seeing life and death, so he was a person who wasn’t blinded by power.
He only had one thought, and that was to protect the prosperity of the empire.
Han Xuefei looked at Elizabeth and said, “From now on, you’ll stay here. After tonight, you can prepare for the coronation ceremony.”
After hearing her words, Elizabeth nodded quietly. She believed that Lu Yu had the ability to make his promise a reality.
“If I become Empress, I will definitely change this country for the better. However, I don’t have enough experience.”
Elizabeth smiled and explained her worries.
Lu Yu shrugged helplessly. “We don’t have much experience governing a country either. You just have to do as you wish.”
After saying that, he lowered his head to look at the time.
“The banquet is about to start, right?” Lu Yu asked.
“The banquet starts at eight o’clock in the evening. It will be a feast and should be in its preparation stage now.”
“Alright, then, I’ll make some preparations. It’s time to make my move.”
Standing guard at the door, Stone walked over and said worriedly, “If you act now, the Protector General will also make his move. General Snowin is someone with incredible power, so you have to be careful.”
“Snowin is the Protector General? I guess I can’t wait to meet him then. Didn’t you say that his strength is inferior to Sean’s?”
Stone revealed an awkward smile. “It’s hard to say, especially when the national treasury is basically opened to him. He spent a ton of resources to increase his strength, so judging his strength based on the past is inaccurate.”
“Didn’t you say that there’s a Grand Commander too? Give me an introduction to him.”
Lu Yu turned to look at Sean.
“Sure, there is a Grand Commander in the empire, and she’s not weak either. Her name is Lynn, and she is a Wind Spirit Mage. I don’t know her exact ranking, but her position in the empire is equivalent to that of a military officer who commands the country’s strategy.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “So once I act tonight, these two will be the first to respond. I can’t wait…”
The banquet was held in a large dining hall in the palace.
The dining hall was modern and luxurious-looking. It did not have the old-fashioned style of an ancient empire at all.
Many people had already walked to the entrance. The glass door to the dining hall opened, and the interior was decorated simply and fashionably.
They had specially hired the construction company from the Star Science Chamber of Commerce to build this restaurant, so the design style alone was very avant-garde.
Soon, all the members of the royal family arrived.
The huge dining table was filled with customers.
Isabel and Norton stood in the main seat and looked at everyone.
“The banquet will officially begin. Everyone, eat and drink well.”
“Aren’t we going to invite General Sean?” someone asked. “He’s supposed to be the main character of the banquet.”
“He doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today, so it’d be better to let him rest. Besides, don’t we always have banquets like this? Just treat it as usual and have a nice meal.”
All the nobles looked happy and excited after hearing that.
They always enjoyed sumptuous meals daily and received a generous salary from Isabel and Norton. They lived a comfortable life and would naturally support Elizabeth and Norton wholeheartedly.
Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Isabel sat down and ate too.
The table was filled with delicacies.
The most ridiculous thing was that each dish was just a small plate.
For example, the Illusionary Spirit Fish, a spiritual beast, was extremely precious. However, they only ate the most essential part, the fish eye, and threw away the rest.
There were countless similar delicacies.
Every dish could be eaten in one bite.
Everyone was eating happily and chatting fervently.
Soon, Lu Yu appeared near the dining hall.
Looking at the brightly lit hall and the group of lively diners, Lu Yu was irritated.
Sean also appeared behind him and was ready to go to the dining hall.
Only Han Xuefei remained in the mansion to accompany Elizabeth.
“Let’s go in and make our move.”
Lu Yu did not think much of it and walked to the dining hall.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance.
Two guards were standing at the door. When they saw Sean coming, they kneeled respectfully.
“Welcome, General Sean!”
The two of them greeted General Sean in unison.
Looking at the unfamiliar building before him, Sean was suddenly hit with a wave of emotions. He had never seen this building before, and it was eye-opening for him.
“Let’s go. It’s time to resolve everything.”
With that, Sean pushed open the door and walked in.
In the hall, everyone was in high spirits as they chatted and joked with each other.
Everyone was astonished when Sean came in, and all sounds stopped abruptly.
Isabel quickly stood up and apologized, saying, “I’m really sorry, General Sean. We thought you were in a bad mood today, so we didn’t incite you. But you’re not late, as dinner has just begun.”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It’s all our fault for not taking care of you better.”
“You are a hero of our Lionheart Empire. We’re all grateful to you.”
“Please take a seat and have a good meal. It must be tiring to fight outside all year round.”
“Come and eat. These are all dishes of rare delicacies that are absolutely delicious.”
The nobles said it with a smile, one after another.
Sean, however, kept a cold face as he swept his gaze across the audience.
They seemed to sense that the atmosphere was not right and got nervous.
Isabel looked at Sean and asked, “General, do you have something on your mind?”
“Who built this hall?”
“Oh, you’re asking about this? The Star Science Chamber of Commerce built it. We hired a famous architect and spent a lot of money building this place.”
She answered with a smile.
“Let me ask you again. How many times have you entered Lionheart City in a year? Or are you staying in other areas besides the palace?”
Isabel looked at Sean in confusion after hearing that.
“I don’t know what you mean. But I haven’t gone out to play in the city, as there isn’t much fun to do in Lionheart City.”
Sean’s face was cold. He was not asking about where she went to play!
“Alright, let’s invite a friend of mine in.”
He turned around and signaled Lu Yu to come in.
