Chapter 766 Snake Syndicate (4)

Resonance...

Yes, it was a sense of resonance that could be heard from his voice.

That was because he felt that his family had been betrayed by the royal family all this time, so now that he saw me who had also been 'betrayed' by the royal family like this, he felt that we were similar.

That was why he went as far as revealing himself like this.

He was confident enough that he would be able to convince me to side with him against the royal family, which was why he wasn't afraid to show himself like this.

This was not something that I had expected when the fourth prince and I came up with this plan, but this was definitely something that I could use. After all, the trust gained from a misunderstanding was the best way that something could turn out.

It meant that I wouldn't have to do a single thing to gain the trust of this person who I wanted the trust of.

That would without a doubt make things much easier.

The problem was that I couldn't just be lured in that easily or else it would seem suspicious.

So I had to at least pretend that I was against this.

When he was done with his rant, Duke Yuletide clearly had a satisfied look on his face as he said, "You and I are the same, we were both betrayed by the royal family of this kingdom. There's no need for you to be loyal to those that would throw you away like this."

He reached his hand out towards me as he said, "I'm offering you the chance to stand on the right side of history. I'm offering you the chance to take what you deserve."

I looked down at the hand before looking back up at Duke Yuletide with an emotionless look on my face. I didn't say a thing as I just kept looking at him.

Duke Yuletide knitted his brows even more when he saw this.

In his plan, he had wanted to kill off every member of the royal family that had doomed his family to live the life that they were currently living. That naturally included the princess who was a part of the royal family.

But now...

Duke Yuletide just looked at me with the same look on his face, as if he was pressuring me. Only this time, I didn't back down at all as I looked right back at him with the same firm look on my face.

In the end, he gave a sigh and said, "Fine, just her. But that's only if she's willing to step down as the former royal family and give the title to me publicly."

I gave a nod in response to this before saying, "Then I'll work for you."

Duke Yuletide gave a satisfied nod when he heard this before saying, "You're making the right choice."

I didn't say anything in response to this, but Duke Yuletide didn't mind as he continued by saying, "Now tell me about this Wyvern Stone. I want to know everything about it."

I gave a nod before saying, "The Wyvern Stone is a special stone that can assert dominance over wyverns as long as it is used in the right way. That's why people have never been able to use it before I found it. However...the fourth prince tricked me and took the Wyvern Stone for himself."

Duke Yuletide stroked his chin before saying, "Then will you tell me how to use the Wyvern Stone?"

With a bitter smile, I asked, "Would you still need me if I were to tell you?"

Duke Yuletide shook his head with a smile, without hiding a thing.

Then he said, "Alright, let's talk about how we'll get it from the fourth prince and then how you'll use it to take care of them."
