EVERYONE IS A LORD: MY TALENT IS A LITTLE TOO STRONG

Chapter 885: Chapter 564: Shocking Siblings_1

“I doubt they have the guts!”

With her eyebrows raised, the young woman adjusted the light armor on her body and said, “After all, we control the ten thousand-strong Defense Army of Golin City!”

“Although that’s true, at today’s meeting, a significant portion of the Defense Army generals seemed to be lacking in enthusiasm.”

The young man lowered his voice and continued, “Moreover, most of the elite Guard Corps responsible for defending the castle are not under our control, except for a few confidants…”

“Reece, why do you keep dampening our spirits?”

The young woman put one hand on her hip, the other giving the other party a flick on the forehead, “If they see our weakness, it will only embolden them to be more unscrupulous!”

Although the young woman’s face appeared resolute, her tone betrayed a lack of confidence.

At this moment, the young woman clearly understood.

In the end, they were both too young. With seniority, influence, and connections, they were no match for the old-timers in the family.

One could imagine that if their father, the City Lord, truly disappeared without a trace, Golin City might indeed change hands given the current turmoil within Coldflame and the Royal Family’s inability to manage their affairs.

As the city with countless mines, Golin City is one of the few cities in the Coldflame Eastern Region, where both strength and industries are top-tier. Few could resist such a temptation of power.

Additionally, under the backdrop of power struggles, many family members were displeased with their father’s neutrality. Now, those opposing parties were undoubtedly plotting behind the scenes.

With this in mind, the young woman clenched her teeth and said, “Reece, we must maintain our composure and find out our father’s whereabouts as soon as possible!”

“Understood, I’ll do my best.”

Rubbing his reddened forehead, the young man named Reece nodded continuously.

On the other hand, seeing her younger brother still uneasy, the young woman sighed softly and turned around.

In her heart, she whispered, “In the end, we are simply too weak. If only someone powerful could stand behind us and lend a hand, things would be different.”

Realizing this, the young woman’s eyes sparkled, but then she couldn’t help but shake her head and murmur, “But how is that possible?”

“The elders have a wide network of connections in this region, and I’m afraid no one would be willing to easily become their enemy. After all, any discerning person can clearly see the current situation.”

If their father were to truly disappear, no matter through puppetry or personal ascent to power, Golin City would eventually fall into the hands of those elders.”

At this thought, the young woman’s brows furrowed, her initially expectant expression once again dimming.

Just then, a polite knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the room where the pair stood.

Accompanied by a crisp clatter of armor, the young woman, clad in her light armor, opened the door to reveal a servant girl standing before her.

“Miss Rita, there are a few people outside the castle claiming to be messengers from Blue Cold Fortress. They request to see you and the young master regarding the matter of the pre-ordered wine for the City Lord.”

The servant girl respectfully replied with a bow to the young woman.

“Messengers from Blue Cold Fortress? Regarding the pre-ordered wine matter? Don’t see them!”

Without waiting for the young woman named Rita to speak, Reece frowned, “We’re in a desperate situation, and we don’t have time to deal with such trivial matters.”

“Reece, don’t be so disrespectful.”

After giving the young man another flick on the forehead, Rita thought for a moment and said, “I’ve heard of my father pre-ordering wine. It seems we are past the agreed-upon deadline. Since we are at fault, we must explain it to them clearly.”

With that said, the valiant-looking Rita in her silver-white light armor nodded to the servant girl and said, “Please ask the messengers to wait in Reception Room No.1. Reece and I will be there shortly.”

And so, after a while,

As Rita and Reece opened the door of Reception Room No.1, a group of ordinary-looking men and women were already waiting there.

Needless to say, it was Leo Ray and his party, disguised by illusion magic.

At Leo Ray’s side were Taylor, Red Night, Ariel Watson, Joshua, and Burt. The rest of the main subordinates remained on standby around the City Lord Mansion.

As for Leo Ray’s impersonation of a messenger from Blue Cold Fortress, it was to conceal their true identities.

In this way, both the potential powers within Golin City Lord Mansion and the hidden eyes of the princes would be relatively relaxed.

“Are you the messenger from Blue Cold Fortress?”

Looking at Leo Ray, Rita nodded slightly, “I am Rita, the eldest daughter of Lord Hode.”

Then, Rita introduced the young man beside her, “This is my brother, Reece.”
