Chapter 265: Loyalist of the Empire (2)
As soon as the day broke, General Ducat reported this matter to the Emperor.
The Emperor, upon hearing that Fabio had volunteered to go into the battlefield for the Empire, called the general to the Imperial Palace to learn the details.
"Is it true that Baron Rothschild volunteered to go to the battlefield without being ordered to?" the Emperor asked.
The general, upon hearing this, responded coldly, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Baron Rothschild asked me to let him personally go to Guillaume City to persuade the mayor on behalf of the Empire's national interests."
Every politician, regardless of their party, always says the same thing: that they will work tirelessly for the people if they are elected.
The nobles of the Toscana Empire, too, always boast that they would willingly die for the Emperor.
However, when it comes time to actually give up their lives, they often leave the honor of sacrificing themselves to someone else.
It’s not a matter of whether the elder or younger brother should go first.
"...... Honestly, this is unexpected. I never thought that Fabio..."
The Emperor, who was certain that Fabio would never betray him, had a deep confidence that Fabio would remain loyal.
This was because Fabio was famously protective of his wife, children, family, and business.
