I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.
CHAPTER 214: WHY SHOULD I ACCEPT YOUR OFFER?
Be it Lasha or Terfis were very surprised at this offer, however they agreed with the crown prince's plan not because they tried to make the crown prince a king but they tried to seize the empire secretly. Therefore, there was absolutely no need to reject the crown prince's invitation, even if Fillie gave a lot of money or territory even though it was more profitable to use the crown prince to control the entire empire.
Although they assume that Filie's invitation only needs to be rejected, they do not dare to say anything and just wait for Nera's decision, after all they only need to do according to the decision Nera determined.
Different from Lasha and Terfis who felt the offer of Fillie did not have any advantage, Nera knocked on the table in front of him while thinking.
After thinking for a while, he opened his eyes again and said "Why should I accept your invitation? I'm sure that you're smart enough, at least you can hide from the emperor and the crown prince has been showing off your intelligence all along. Therefore, you must have also realized that the reason I helped the crown prince was not for the money or the territory he gave me, but my plan was to seize the entire empire. For this reason, why should I approve your invitation? Will you be able to give me an advantage other than to rule over the entire empire so I have to agree? Then let me tell you 1 more thing, you already know my true plan so that if we can't cooperate with each other, I will kill you along with the waiter to keep your mouth shut".
An extremely powerful death aura emerged from Nera's body, this aura was none other than the power of the Ruler of Death.
Sensing the aura, the servant who had been standing behind Fillie decided to move, so, although he knew that Nera was stronger than he proved to be from Terphis before coming here could defeat him easily, but as Phillie's loyal servant, she is ready to use her life so that she can get out of here alive.
The servant took the 2 poisonous daggers he had hidden under his clothes, after which he was ready to throw them towards Nera.
Lasha on the other hand was ready to stop the poisonous dagger, although this attack could not kill or even injure Nera, but they came here to protect Nera, which made them definitely not let anyone attack Nera.
But before the maid could make a move, Filie had already raised her hand "Enough, you are by no means her opponent!".
"But ladies-" the waiter tries to persuade Fillie to run away, he thinks that Nera really doesn't need to help Fillie because Fillie certainly can't give more advantage than to rule the entire empire so Nera must help him.
"Didn't you hear it?", asked Filie coldly.
Seeing the cold face of Fillie, the maid was frightened, she lowered her dagger but her face was still very careful.
Fillie's cold face disappeared very quickly and replaced the friendly smile again, he returned thanks to "Master Elos, forgive my servant's actions. He is too loyal to misunderstand the meaning of your words, as his master then I am ready to accept the punishment of representing him".
filie's face again became resolute "I will give Mr. Elos everything, be it the empire in terms of resources, the ancient human warriors, even myself! Lord Elos, do you think as long as you rule the empire then all the ancient humans here will support you? If master thinks like that then master is wrong, at least the ancient humans only recognized the other ancient humans as leaders. Another reason Ark and Tersin never attacked this place was because they knew that they could not gain the loyalty of the ancient humans, the residents here only recognized the ancient humans who were descendants of the imperial family as their leaders".
Hearing all that, Nera understood Filie's plan, but she still asked to make sure "Then what are you planning?".
Fillie said again confidently "I will be a puppet emperor to Lord Elos, if Lord Elos helps me become emperor then
everyone might think of me as the ruler of an empire, but you are actually the one who controls the empire from behind the shadows. I will follow the plan you made, wouldn't this plan be better to occupy the empire? Moreover, I am an ancient human from the imperial family, the ancient humans must have supported me as long as the emperor was now and the crown prince died, what do you think of Lord Elos?".
"It seems that you are quite ambitious" said Nera smiling mockingly, since Elos wears a cloak that has the ability of illusion so that his body becomes like a human named Nera, then Elos certainly can change the face on the illusion.
Filie shook her head "Rather than being ambitious, I probably did this to bring the empire out of ruin. Mr. Elos, before you came to the capital you must have seen about the famine and death that occurred throughout the empire, even the loyalty of the population continued to decline and it was only a matter of time before the uprising arrived".
"The problem is that the crown prince used all this rebellion to bring down the emperor, if he is a wise man then I don't mind. But I have been observing the crown prince for a long time and know that he is not at all suited to be a leader, as long as he became emperor then the empire would only continue to fall until it might disappear completely from the sea of history! Therefore, I must take over the post of emperor and refine the entire empire, despite having to get help from others. Based on my observations, between Ark, Tersin and Mr. Elos then you are the best person to lead a region, it can even be said that your territory is currently the most prosperous region. As long as the empire is in your hands, I'm sure a dying empire will come back to life".
"I don't mind helping you" said Nera who had thought of the advantages and disadvantages of this plan, as long as this Fillie could be loyal then it was indeed better to let Fillie become the puppet emperor. After all, Nera had heard before coming here that ancient humans only accepted the emperor as the leader or descendant of the emperor who inherited the throne.
"But I have 1 more question that I should know the answer to" said Nera carefully "Who told you that I was Elos? I can't believe that you can know all that with your own abilities".
Fillie hesitated to answer the question, but finding Nera's stern face, she decided to answer "Mr Elos, I was close enough to Aruse, and she was very close to him, more precisely I had known Miss Aruse before she joined the Master of the Labyrinth first. So I found out about you coming here from Aruse, but it's not Aruse's fault because I was the one who pushed him. However before telling me, Aruse had already said that as long as I informed the arrival of Lord Elos to the empire to others and betrayed her, then our friendship was also over. We are very close friends who make us trust each other, therefore Aruse will definitely not tell us about your arrival if it is not me who asked directly".
Nera did not say anything about this matter, he already had an idea to solve this problem. After all, Aruse has done something too risky without telling the reason, so no matter what the reason is, Aruse still has to get sanctions.
But the problem was that he was still in the empire so that the sanctions for Aruse could wait first "Then, I will help you become emperor, I will help you become emperor, but I also have some requirements of course so that you don't betray me after becoming emperor!".
