âUrgh... What nonsense is this...?â
Even as the envoy gasped for air, he couldnât help but feel that something was gravely wrong.
He had heard of Count Fenrisâs infamous temper and had dismissed it as arrogance, a result of leading the kingdomâs most formidable army.
But to speak of the king so crudely?
Until now, the envoy had believed that Ghislain was, at the very least, loyal to the throne, as evidenced by his relentless battles against the Dukeâs faction.
âYes, yes! Right now, only the nobles who were suppressed by the Marquis are aligned with His Majesty. Even His Majesty seems hesitant to act against them due to the potential backlash.â
âAnd what about the Royal Army commanders who are retreating? When are they being replaced?â
âThe Royal Knights were sent out, so itâs likely the commanders have already been replaced during their march.â
âI see.â
Ghislain quickly grasped the situation. Marquis Branford and his supporters were safeâfor now.
It wasnât just the Royal Army; many lords and nobles across the land still aligned themselves with the Marquis.
