Capítulo 505: Chapter 505 Chief of Staff
“Do you think my uncle is somewhat petty?”
“I think what he said made a lot of sense,” Fu Xing held Lin Fu’s hand, feeling a deep sense of pity. “I’m sorry, this is my fault for not being careful enough and causing you to suffer.”
Lin Fu looked at him unexpectedly, “We are both at fault.”
“Oh! What did you do wrong?” someone asked in a seemingly casual manner.
Lin Fu’s heart skipped, and she quickly realized what was happening, but changed her words to, “My fault lies in being too superficial, so easily dazzled by your beauty.” After saying this, she feigned a sigh.
Fu Xing burst into laughter, then suddenly reached out, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.
“You always know how to tease me,” he murmured softly, his voice deep and slightly seductive.
“So you like this style.”
Fu Xing’s ears suddenly turned red, but he couldn’t bring himself to let go.
…
Lin Cheng left with his team the next day. Eternal City, after all, belonged to the neutral powers and had always had a peculiar relationship with the Galaxy Empire. As the master of Eternal City, Lin Cheng’s presence within the Empire’s territory, even at a low profile, would cause a sensation.
Despite the Empire having just experienced internal turmoil, the intelligence supervision had not slackened.
Moreover, Lin Cheng and Fu Xing came from entirely different backgrounds, belonging to separate forces; logically, they should not have met privately. If word got out, no one would believe there wasn’t some deal between them.
This would also cause tension and unnecessary speculation among their respective forces.
In fact, news about the two had been presented on many peoples’ desks the next day, including the newly crowned Hughes I.
“Ludwig, have you seen the intelligence report?” Hughes sat on his throne with a simple yet intricately luxurious crown that made his light pink hair even more strikingly handsome.
The Mecklenburg Family’s genes were always excellent, and family members’ appearances were exceptionally outstanding. Hughes I had not been crowned for half a year yet; he had managed to replace several ministers continuously with a strong, yet sophisticated approach, all supplanted by his confidants.
He also established his own staff team, with Ludwig Kroll as his Chief of Staff.
This Ludwig Kroll, although unfamiliar to those from Capital Star, came from a significant background—his father was an Earl with actual land, and his mother was a Princess from the Mecklenburg Royal Family, even related to Hughes I as his cousin.
He represented both noble and royal backgrounds, which left no room for objections from either side.
However, from the half-year observation, it was evident that Hughes I’s intelligence far surpassed his father’s.
“Your Majesty, I have already seen it. Lin Cheng of Eternal City and Major General Fu Xing met at the border, but we still do not know what they discussed,” Ludwig Kroll said, his features sharp and deep, his tall and handsome stature complemented by brown hair and amber eyes.
A very charming man.
As the Emperor’s Chief of Staff, Ludwig was proactive in his role and, without waiting for Hughes I to ask, he analyzed, “You have always advocated taking down Eternal City. It is indeed too troublesome to have an uncontrollable force nearby and they have always been involved with the Lost Association.”
“Although we do not know what Major General Fu Xing discussed with Lin Cheng this time, we have identified the cause, which is certainly not good news. If it gets out, it will definitely impact your throne,” Ludwig’s eyes flashed with concern.
