90 When things get complicated, the opponent's choice becomes simple.

Earl Meier was listening seriously to what was happening on the Grand Duke's estate. I expressed great concern about the rebellion or the involvement of the Empire, and I could not help but be appalled that Helen and Joseph might die.

When the erl finished my explanation, he squeezed his head tightly and said a short expression.

“Hmm. Eventually, something happened. Grand Duke of the Apocalypse, the trust between the Grand Duke and the Empire has been severely compromised. ”

I had a shivering face.

“Yes. It wouldn't have any effect. ”

“Then why does the Empire not order His Holiness to remove the Spectator Independents, but to take matters into his own hands? ”

“If we're going to root it out, we need to kill Duke Joseph and Duke Helen. Duke Carr will be furious with these orders. ”

“Of course, so? ”

I glanced at old Cloud and arranged three stones on the ground. The emperor, the father, and the old man.

“Now the emperor needs Duke Carr. There's an old man in the Imperial Court, and they only have the Grand Duke of Cars. You know, last year in the imperial war? ”

Earl Meier carefully looked at his grandfather's handsome appearance.

“Ah. I've heard that none of the great vessels are available for the Emperor except His Majesty, the Grand Duke. ”

“That's why the Emperor should not have Duke Carr. ”

“So the Emperor is trying to eliminate the dangers lurking around the Grand Duke, without pretending to be His Majesty. ”

“Yes. That's why I think I'll be ahead of Earl Aubrey. I'm trying to turn this into an internal rebellion. The only problem is that Duke Carr knows. ”

“Really?"

I nod at the Earl with my eyes wide open.

“Yes. I have a knight from the Imperial side who gave me a tour guide on this quest, and I think he's from the Grand Duke." ”

“Well, is that so? Then what do you think Duke Carr intends? ”

“Well, it seems that you have remained silent until now, perhaps watching the defeat of Independents under the scaffolding by the Empire, perhaps to protect the peace of the territory and the Duke of Josef." ”

Earl Meier frowns as well.

“I'm sure the Grand Duke's temperament will suffice. So what's the backbone gonna do? ”

“Depends on which side he's on. Which side are you on? ”

“I'm just a wild man now. I'm not taking anyone's side. ”

I scratched my head. It's because Earl Meier stands on the worst side.

“Then we'll all have to die. ”

“What?"

“The reason for this death month is that no one can stop the Independents in the North. Here, Grand Duke Helen Mana pushed them, and the hardwires became completely overwhelming. So either one of them must die, or we can't let Grand Duke Helen die, so all of the hardened Independents die. ”

Earl Meier opens his eyes.

“Do you know how many of them there are? Do you know how many other relatives there are on that broom? And you're gonna kill them all? ”

“It's none of my business. I just need to save Duke Helen's wife. ”

“Is there really no other way? ”

I rearranged one more stone.

“Yes, Earl Meier is in charge of the work of Grand Duke Helen Mana. If we bring back a hardened, deserted group of Independents here from the political front, the Empire will trust the car family somewhat. Earl Meier is of pure Yosrahim blood. ”

Earl Meier turns his head to pack.

“Absolutely not. ”

“Why?”

“I have come here to take care of Princess Grace at the request of Her Majesty, the former Emperor. But I was too weak to take care of the princess properly, so I let her die at a flowering age, and her son died screaming by my mistake. What am I supposed to do, go back to the world? ”

However, this human is not going to help him in his lifetime. Last year, he stepped up and made that death month, even though he shouldn't have stepped up and said he wouldn't do it this time.

“Very well, then. Kill them all. ”

“That just won't do. ”

“So I should kill Helen Manana? ”

“Not even that. ”

“Oh, will you shut up? And eventually the car will be torn apart? Honestly, will you leave these old people alone? even though half of the rebels knew all about her. ”

The Earl glances at Old Cloud, who is exsanguinating.

“Well, well, well. ”

I took my place and stood up. I have nothing more to say to the Earl. I didn't see it that way, even with this human decision impairment.

“If you're a bystander, don't talk about Katabuta, just watch. It is your freedom not to take action, but it is inevitable that those who die from it. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I walk past Earl Meier, speechless, and approach Old Cloud.

“Grandpa, is that enough? Killing all but Grand Duke Karl and Helen Manna. From babies to women to seniors. ”

“That's enough grief for a spirit to do that. ”

“Okay. No more talking later. ”

“I see.”

As I was about to leave with Old Cloud, Earl Meier summoned me.

“White face.”

“Why?”

“Is it really going to be all right for everyone to take one step at a time? ”

“Yes, we need to sprinkle some more seasoning. ”

Earl Meier narrows his eyes.

“Very well. What should I do then? ”

“First, gather some trusted old men and stand by the castle. We have to stop Earl Aubrey. I'll take care of the rest. ”

“I understand. I will. ”

I went down the hill with a nasty smile.

Earl Meier, a wise man, suddenly moves his body. From infant to woman to old, the words seemed to be true.

Earl Meier wasn't so exhausted after all. Many people do not insist on dying.

* * *

In the morning, a long train arrived at the house. Josef and his men arrived.

No matter how much Helen manages the territory on her behalf, the official is Josef, the Grand Duke. The saint girl came, but I couldn't just study in school.

I stood by the window and looked at Josef and his attendants.

‘I'm one year older. I took off a lot of baby tea. ’

But he's still a child. It seemed far away to be an adult.

I immediately turned my attention to Josef and examined the attendants. In my past life, my father gave me many attendants, including the eyes and ears planted by some of his fathers.

They are likely to be active in the pitch in this situation. Especially those who come into contact with Roland.

I focused on men in their 30s as long as Roland was secretly meeting them.

‘Phew. Did you put Sir Farmers next to Joseph? My dad's a real pain in the ass. Josef's only a few years old. Put that scavenger next to him. Family education seems strange no matter how much I look at it. ’

Ser Farmer. The Supreme Mana Swordsman and a fairly promising knight once treated me closely, even within the territory of Karl. Turns out, it's my dad.

Because what I was doing before kept leaking out to my father, I was leaking some information, but it was Lord Farmers.

Due to his father's great trust, he did a lot of dark things, so he was more likely to do something about it.

‘But do you really think he's going to kill Helen? ’

Honestly, it's a long shot, but I hope not. Then my father and my wife will be so sad. Whether she lives or dies.

So the most effective solution is to try to make sure nothing happens. To put it simply, we must stop Father's plan at the beginning so that their hats don't know.

I shouted to Old Cloud in the chair in the room, before I stepped forward.

“Don't follow me this time. If you follow me this time, I won't let you go. ”

“Is something important? ”

“It's no big deal. It's just seasoning. ”

“What seasoning? ”

“Yes. Let's make things easier in the future. Hurry up.”

Grandpa Cloud said he tasted it.

“I see.”

“And if you come after me, I won't let you do anything. ”

“Don't worry. I have a lot on my mind right now. ”

“Fine. Anyway, if you'll just listen to me like now, I'll give you a big present after this. If you don't get this, Grandpa will regret it. ”

Grandpa Cloud grins.

“I don't know what it is, but I don't need it. I don't want anything. ”

“There is. One. ”

“Even if you don't. ”

“I hear that. Shall we make a bet?”

Old Cloud raises his torso slightly.

“Why don't you grant them one wish? ”

“Look, you know what? That's a lot. ”

Grandpa Cloud looks nice.

“Oh, right. I just cancelled my bet. ”

“Anyway, don't follow me. ”

“Okay, don't worry. ”

As soon as I opened the door, I quickly hid Mana and moved to Burinake. To get off Grandpa Cloud's trail.

But Grandpa didn't really follow me as promised.

I put aside my worries and headed to Farmers and Roland. I was interrupted by some guards in the middle, but I penetrated through my title and threats to get ahead of it.

“Earl seems to be launching an attack after midnight today. I want everyone to be prepared for their mission. Any questions?"

You hear Farmers' voice in the conference room. From the content, the conversation seemed to have reached the end. I dared to open the door.

“Sir Roland? Is he inside Lord Roland? ”

As I went inside, everyone looked flawed. Almost 10 of them looked familiar, but besides Farmers, the majority looked familiar. It was my father's minions.

Roland rises from his seat in horror.

“Mr. White?”

“Oh, there you are. Can I talk to you for a second? Do you have a minute? ”

Roland approaches with an urgent face.

“Let's go out and talk. ”

“It's important. It's good to know. ”

“Still, get out of here. ”

I shuddered around.

“I'm not talking about Birch Brian. It's something else.”

Roland frowns as I hold on.

“What the hell? ”

“I looked into it yesterday, and I think Earl Aubrey is up to something. What am I supposed to do? ”

Everyone stared at me mute with honey. It was as if he knew how.

Roland blinks in surprise.

“Where did you hear that story? ”

“I overheard it on the way. ”

“Coincidence?”

“Yes.”

“Very well. We'll take care of it." ”

As Roland pushed me away, I stood by and added another word.

“Oh, and I saw the Duke of Cloud earlier. I told you to keep it a secret, but you're grinding a sheep knife to kill everyone, and I can't help but tell you, can I? ”

“Yes, yes? Who?”

“Ah, the Duke of Cloud. You know, the world's greatest prosecutor. That old man is a real pain in the ass. ”

Everyone's face turned white and bleached. I could have predicted that there would be a big enough death moon if Grandpa Cloud hadn't visited Karl's territory without doing something.

“Is it really him? ”

“Yes. I know it well when I visit Hwang Sung. He's definitely the Duke of Cloud. ”

“Very well. We'll check it out. ”

“Oh, and there's something else. ”

“What is it this time? ”

“I think someone is mobilizing an army at a large scale. I don't think he's on Earl Aubrey's side, and I was wondering if you guys were mobilizing. Aren't you?”

Roland shakes his head with a dazed face.

“No, I'm not.”

“Really? Then who is it? Oh, and I don't remember the name, but I think one of the Master Tests is up to something. ”

There are only two masters in Carr's territory. Earl Meier and Earl Brian.

“Are you talking about Earl Meier? ”

“No. Earl Meier is secretly working on something else, and there's someone else you don't know. He's a bit harsh, too. ”

I seasoned the lie slightly. to add complexity.

The forces involved in this incident are me, Count O'Bray and the Unsullied and the Grand Duke's Guard of Karl. It's complicated for them, but if the Cloud Duke includes an army of unknown and unknown Master Swordsmen as well as Earl Meier, it becomes a real mess. Nine forces will intervene.

The variables that come out of this are almost infinite. Moreover, one half of them was a lie that changed the truth. My dad's gonna be a real pain in the ass. You never know what's going on in a day.

Then father's actions are limited to two things. Abandon this operation, turn your back on the duties, or take on a few important things at your peril and then walk away.

This means that if I stop one or two of the important things, I can move this situation according to my intentions.

“Well, is it? ”

“Yes. That's why I'm asking, what the hell is going on? There are unexpected humans and forces coming out of all sides, so I can't feel them at all. ”

“We also know that. ”

“Well, I'm going to ask you to do something about it, but I need you to do something about it. Do you want to work because this is unsettling? ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

“Then I'll go. Good work.”

I tilted my head away.

As soon as I closed the door, the room became noisy. Four more forces, including the Duke of Cloud, were on the verge of closure. They couldn't help but take urgent measures.

I don't know what I can come up with.
