Chapter: 565

He plotted to assassinate the emperor on tour and a rebellion at the same time.

If the assassination succeeds, there is no need to rebel, and if the rebel succeeds, there is no need to attempt the assassination. This must be the plan.

Of course, it would be better if both were successful.

It’s hard to succeed even if you put all your strength into one of those options, but my father tried both at the same time?

I don’t understand at all.

‘Didn’t my father try to distract Kaizen?’

I thought he acted suspiciously as if planning a rebellion but secretly continued the assassination plot.

Kaizen was always monitoring the duke’s possible rebellion, so he didn’t see the sword that was pointed behind him.

I thought that was the plan?

‘It’s just a mean thing my father would do.’

During the tour, I remember Kaizen taking the rain as an excuse to keep wasting time.

At the time, I guessed that Kaizen was buying time for some reason.

It was impossible for the emperor to spend days in the Maern Castle under the pretext of raining for no reason.

‘I have to contact my father and ask him for sure.’

Astelle looked at the confident Florin and made a quick decision.

Anyway, I better let this cute little lady think that everything is going her way.

‘As long as she’s relieved, she won’t cause any more trouble.’

Astelle nodded her head, pretending to be serious.

“Okay, let’s make a deal. Instead, you have to keep it secret so that it doesn’t leak out.”

Florin closed her purple eyes and smiled softly.

“Okay. Your Majesty the Empress should also tell His Majesty the Emperor to protect my father.”

“Yes, I will definitely protect the marquis.”

Astelle made a promise.

Of course, she had no intention of helping the Croychen family.

Astelle wanted Marquis Croychen to lose power and get rid of this arrogant young lady who had been spying on the duke’s mansion.
