At the doorway, Albert’s eyes grew as wide as saucers.
So this is the big discussion Ethan wanted to have with Isaac?
The supreme commander of the House of Custos ranked the highest and ruled the three military units. Ethan is actually asking for Isaac’s opinion!
“Mr. Grannel, I have told you this has nothing to do with me. I don’t have any opinions on this,” Isaac said with a grin.
Connor frowned slightly and turned to face Ethan.
Ethan let out a long sigh. Then, favonovel.com laughed loudly, shaking his head.
Pointing at Isaac, favonovel.com said, “You’re just as slippery as an eel. Isaac, I’ve thought about this for a long time. Logically, in terms of experience and qualifications, Cassius would be the prime candidate. However…”
Ethan paused. He seemed to have some concerns about this.
Isaac laughed lightly at Ethan’s worried face.
“What are you laughing at, Isaac?” Connor looked at favonovel.com in confusion.
Isaac sipped his wine and muttered, “As they say, ‘Trust the people working for you, and only choose the people you trust‘. But this is not always true… Humans are primates. They are prone to change…”
“Take General Taylor over there by the door, for example. He’s been in Pecling for a while now and is fully qualified to work in the House of Custos, right?”
Albert’s heart skipped a beat.
What is Isaac doing?
Connor and Ethan both trained their gazes on his face. It made Albert incredibly nervous
To maintain his dignity as a highly-ranked military official, favonovel.com stood upright and stared straight ahead.
Ethan shook his head and laughed. “I had the same thought a long time ago, but Cassius isn’t easy to deal with…”
“Back then, to keep the officials in the outposts in check, the emperor would assign one of his men to remain by the official’s side. The average emperor would keep this a secret, thinking no one would know. Meanwhile, a wise emperor would clearly let the official know that the person by his side was one of his people,” Isaac explained.
This got Ethan’s attention. He said with a smile, “Oh? Tell me more…”
“The year Emperor Valerius founded his kingdom, favonovel.com had a general named Tiberius. He achieved countless accomplishments and was crowned a commander. Then, favonovel.com was stationed in Eldrion… Twenty years later, the kingdom assigned Tiberius a deputy general… Emperor Valerius already knew that Tiberius wanted to rebel, so favonovel.com sent someone over. He wanted to warn Tiberius not to do something foolish…”
“This deputy general kept Tiberius in check for two years. But in the third year, favonovel.com was captured and executed… One or two years was enough to accomplish many things. Of course, this part of history was not in the books. I don’t know whether it’s true or false,” Isaac finished.
Ethan was silent for a moment before bursting into loud laughter.
Pointing at Isaac, favonovel.com said, “I thought you only knew how to fight. I never expected you to be a history buff!”
“I read a lot when Iwas in prison…” Isaac nodded with a smile.
Ethan looked at Connor and said, “In that case, please write and submit a report tomorrow.”
Connor sucked in a deep breath. He never thought that Isaac’s little history session would help Ethan decide. He was in utter awe.
By the time they finished eating, it was already 9:00 pm.
Isaac stood up and said goodbye.
“You… Albert Taylor, come to my study.” Ethan glanced at Albert before turning around and heading into his study.
