Chapter: 162

Vellian realized what Kaizen thought.

The Lanberg Knights were the capital’s most useful force.

If a few knights and the knight commander left the capital, the Duke would take this as an opportunity.

‘You’re trying to get the Duke to take a chance and speed up the rebellion.’

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

And Vellian also grasped the meaning behind Kaizen’s words.

“I’ll just pretend to go and stay nearby.”

Kaizen did not answer.

Vellian delivered other news to arouse the atmosphere.

“Sir Laudrick, who manages the castle, has prepared a banquet and a ball.”

“A banquet?”

“Since Your Majesty has come, it seems that he is planning a celebration and a ball.”

Unlike Maern Castle, which was so far away in the forest, this is a bustling city, so there are some nobles who live in the surroundings as well.

Since the emperor has visited, he has prepared a welcome event in his own way.

The nobles living in local cities rarely had a chance to meet the emperor unless it was this time.

But Kaizen firmly refused, “No need.”

There is no need for such a thing.

He didn’t come out because he was out to play.

Kaizen stopped handing over the documents after brief thought.

“I guess the ball will be okay.”

“Pardon?”

Vellian asked in confusion.

‘Why did you change your answer? Aren’t you the person who hates this kind of thing?’

“Yes, I understand. Then, only the ball will proceed as planned, and the banquet and other welcome events will be canceled……”

Kaizen thought of Astelle with his gaze fixed on a document full of intricate letters.
