Chapter: 870

‘You’re all so mean… … .’

It was a bit sad because everyone seemed to work together without him and didn’t give him detailed information about the situation.

‘It must have something to do with the Duke of Reston, obviously.’

Vellian roughly speculated that when the Duke of Reston heard the news of His Majesty’s illness, he along with the nobles tried to raid Seibel.

Seibel is a person loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty dies, the Crown Prince will ascend the throne with Duke Reston as regent, but if Seibel and the other new nobles are against it, there may be a problem. So that’s why he tried to attack Seibel?

It was speculation that this was a case to prevent such a situation in advance.

However, this hypothesis was also flawed.

His Majesty the Emperor is still alive, is there any need to do such a dangerous thing already?

To be precise, His Majesty the Emperor was ill for a few days and then recovered without any problem.

‘… … I have no idea what’s really going on.’

“How did it go when I asked you to keep an eye on the surroundings of the Empress?” Vellian sighed and asked again.

During His Majesty’s illness, he told him to monitor the Empress’ surroundings just in case she was up to something.

‘It seems that there was no particular big harvest.’

In addition, the Emperor recovered without any problem, so it was useless.

The investigator replied, “It was nothing special. Although the Young Duke sent someone to the estate to bring something quickly. It was not suspicious either.”

“Young Duke?”

Officials close to the Emperor, including Vellian, called the new Duke of Reston, Fritz, the ‘Young Duke’ to distinguish him from his father, the former Duke. Naturally, the former duke was called the ‘Old Duke.’

The Young Duke brought something from the west estate in a hurry?

“When was that?”

“When His Majesty was ill.”

Velian felt a bit suspicious and asked again, “What did he order to bring?”

“According to our investigation, it is said that he ordered his men to bring the gifts he received from the estate to the capital.”

“… … gift? In such a situation?”

The Emperor was sick, so why bring a gift?

“Yeah, and he sent someone to the South a while ago to get something.”
