Chapter: 855

“What?”

“I heard from Sir Lyndon. Sir Seibel is bringing the knights in without telling me. He also hid his troops around the capital.” Astelle explained the matter to her shocked father.

The Duke asked, “Aren’t you pretty close to him?”

“I was. Because he was Theor’s teacher. But he hid from me that he was secretly bringing in the knights.”

That means Seibel is suspicious of her. In the first place, the Lanberg Knights were loyal to the Emperor, not Astelle.

“Aren’t there still the Guards Division in the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes, but I’m not sure if I can trust them. If Count Ecklen and Seibel turn their backs on me and suspect me, who will Sir Lyndon side with?”

The Duke of Reston pondered for a moment and then burst out in anger.

“What the hell is your brother doing? Can’t he properly manage this matter himself?”

“It hasn’t been long since he became the minister. He’s done his best.”

When Astelle defended Fritz, the Duke laughed.

“You defend him so much because he’s on your side.”

Astelle pretended not to hear and changed the topic.

“When did you say the Knights of Rosewood would arrive?”

Anxiety also crossed the Duke of Reston’s eyes.

“It will take three or four days at the earliest.” He answered with a groan.

Astelle acted as if thinking deeply and then said, “I think… … we have to get rid of Sir Seibel.”

“What?”

“And if we get rid of the knights waiting outside the capital, won’t that be fine?”

The Duke of Reston stared blankly at Astelle.

“Do you think the Emperor’s knights are toy soldiers? The Knights of Lanberg cannot be wiped out at will.”

“The Capital Guards can move freely because Fritz is here. And don’t other nobles, including my father, have knights in their mansions?”

“Although there are Duke’s knights, they are not powerful enough to get rid of the Emperor’s knights.”

“It’s not like Sir Seibel brought all the knights,” Astelle replied in frustration.

She continued, “We just need to get rid of Sir Seibel. He only brought in some of the knights, so we can easily get rid of them now. Sir Seibel doesn’t trust me, so I’m sure there will be problems when all the Lanberg Knights arrive in the capital. We’d better take action before he brings all the knights back to the capital.”
