In the capital of the Laines Empire, Laines, a conspicuous Rolls-Royce car was parked at the gates of the Imperial Palace.
The Prime Minister of the Laines Empire, worried, emerged from the car, a gift from the new Emperor Laines the Second.
Yet, unlike the harmonious relationship between ruler and minister in the Great Tang Empire, the Prime Minister of the Laines Empire knew full well that this was something the new Emperor used to buy his loyalty — the fate of the old Emperor was still an unsolved mystery.
The Prime Minister was originally Laines I's confidant; he remained in the Imperial Capital to balance the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, with the "fall" of Laines I, the rise of Laines II became unstoppable.
Helpless, the Prime Minister could only pretend to go along, cooperating with Laines II to control the regime. After all, only then could Laines recover before the real storm arrived.
