Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1897: 1071: The Lord's Thoughts and Return to the Royal CapitalChapter 1897: Chapter 1071: The Lord’s Thoughts and Return to the Royal Capital
“Did anything happen?”
Braddon frowned and pondered for a moment, then replied, “I remember that when I led my team to watch near Kael Castle, everything was fine within the Imperial Palace, and nothing unusual occurred.”
As he mentioned this, Braddon seemed to recall something and added, “Ah yes, the only noteworthy detail is that Father King met with the envoy from the Grimm Kingdom.”
“Met with the envoy from the Grimm Kingdom?”
Hilda heard this and nodded thoughtfully, saying, “Could it be that the Pars Empire and the Grimm Kingdom settled on their military deployment timing during that meeting? Is Grimm Kingdom the principal offender?”
“No, but if the Pars Empire and Grimm Kingdom agreed during that time, then how did the other three kingdoms also deploy troops together?”
Caroline furrowed her brows slightly and shook her head, saying, “If the Grimm Kingdom secretly dispatched envoys and persuaded the other four kingdoms to deploy troops simultaneously, it wouldn’t make sense for the Prairie Kingdom, and certainly not for the Saint Night Kingdom and the Orchid Federation, who have little association with Grimm Kingdom, to comply.”
“My sister is right, and given that Saint Night Kingdom and the Orchid Federation, who were mortal enemies and had just settled into a truce, Grimm Kingdom obviously doesn’t have such influence to persuade Orchid Federation to pass through Saint Night Kingdom and form an Alliance Army.”
Ariel Watson finished speaking and exchanged glances with Leo Ray and Caroline.
As high-ranking members of Coldflame Kingdom, the three naturally understood that this must be the machinations of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
“Dear second Crown Prince, think carefully, besides them, did your Father King meet anyone else?”
Leo Ray gathered his thoughts and continued to inquire.
“Reporting to His Royal Highness the Holy Lion, no.”
After pondering for a moment, Braddon shook his head and said, “My Father King has been focused on cultivation recently, entrusting all court matters to my sister… and me, so if Father King took action, anything my sister knows, I would certainly know too.”
“Dear second Crown Prince, are you certain?”
Leo Ray quickly understood Braddon’s position within the Pars court, clearly inferior to the first Princess Cecillia, yet desperately reluctant.
Realizing Braddon’s vulnerability, Leo Ray deliberately said, “Perhaps there are matters known only to your Father King and sister that you do not know.”
“Impossible, Father King has yet to designate a heir, but I am surely his choice!”
Braddon’s eyes widened, but upon seeing Leo Ray’s expressionless face, he immediately deflated and awkwardly laughed, “Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince, I have ears within the Imperial Palace and won’t miss anything.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows.
Compared with Caroline’s sister Cecillia, who is well-versed in both civil and military affairs, Braddon inheriting the throne is undoubtedly more beneficial to Coldflame Kingdom.
Of course, this was the consideration before I took control of Coldflame Kingdom; once I successfully navigate this crisis, whoever leads the other five kingdoms makes no difference to me—they will all pay the proper price.
“By the way, Your Highness Prince, I just remembered something!”
Seeing that Leo Ray temporarily fell silent, Braddon assumed his doom was near, and after pondering deeply for a while, he quickly spoke up, “My Father King routinely met with the heads of the Mercenary Guild, Alchemist Guild, and Temple of Light Pars Empire branches!”
“Moreover, according to what I know, after the official meetings concluded, Father King secretly conversed with these high-ranking branch leaders; the specific content, however, is unknown to me!”
Braddon appeared extremely sincere and eagerly added, “My words are not false, please do not lay a hand on me, Your Highness Prince!”
After confirming with Gideon Black that the prince was still being truthful, Leo Ray exchanged glances with Ariel Watson and Caroline once more.
It now made sense.
After Ariel Watson and Caroline’s Father King unexpectedly fell into a coma, we understood the events leading up to it while also discovering clues to the attempted assassination of the old King.
This pointed to the true face of the Black Abyss Brotherhood or possibly its backers—very likely one of the three neutral organizations.
And after the Pars Empire’s Emperor met with the leaders of the three neutral organizations, the remaining four kingdoms elected to deploy troops simultaneously; this couldn’t be mere coincidence.
“Thus, it cannot be denied that the Black Abyss Brotherhood must be related to the three neutral organizations.”
Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath, his gaze becoming more solemn.
Whichever of the three neutral organizations it may be, their influence among the Human clans far exceeds that of an ordinary Royal Family, their foundations unfathomable, surpassing a single kingdom’s centralized power.
This undoubtedly means that besides facing the mighty advance of the five Human kingdoms and the Half-Orc Grand Army from Outer Region.
There’s at least one overwhelmingly powerful neutral organization lurking behind, watching like a hawk—it’s indeed a dire situation.
