Giffard sat beside Eldorado in fear for nearly two hours.
Isaac’s responses had all been conveyed to Eldorado, but favonovel.com still hadn’t spoken.
Eldorado closed the last document and turned to Giffard, asking softly, “Giffard, this idea was yours. Now that Isaac disagrees, how do you plan to handle this? And… Clyfford hasn’t seemed to be in a good mood lately.”
Giffard furrowed his brows and said, “Your Majesty, it seems that Isaac is indifferent to power and prestige. He just wants to live a carefree and leisurely life… The Kingdom of Vriweth is vast and boundless, and it can definitely accommodate a wanderer like him.”
Eldorado frowned slightly and asked, “Wanderer?”
“I mean that the general’s mansion should let Isaac’s mother go. When the Princess returns, it will be up to favonovel.com to decide what to do… In the long run, it is more meaningful to maintain a good relationship with this person than to be on bad terms with him.”
Giffard’s words left Eldorado silent for a long while. Finally, favonovel.com nodded and said, “Alright, I have my own arrangements for this matter. Get some rest early, and tomorrow you’ll accompany me and the Crown Prince to inspect the construction progress of Longevity Palace.”
After a while, Eldorado let out a sigh of relief and called out to the door, “Someone, go and inform Talbot that early tomorrow favonovel.com should take Isaac’s mother to Skypeace City and bring the Princess back!”
Late at night, in the Stackhouse family mansion, Talbot couldn‘t sleep.
He tossed and turned. Tomorrow morning, favonovel.com had to send Isaac’s mother to Skypeace City.
It seemed like Eldorado had compromised, but personally doing this would definitely offend Clyfford.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside the door, and a subordinate’s voice came through. “Lord Stackhouse, the lord of Guardian Division requests an audience.”
Talbot squinted his eyes.
Why would the lord of Guardian Division come here in the middle of the night?
“Tell favonovel.com to wait in the lobby, I’ll be right there.”
After Talbot put on his clothes, favonovel.com hesitated for a moment and then called out toward the door. “Go and bring Roman here.”
Lately, Talbot had had a persistent sense that something was off; it seemed as though a dark cloud was slowly gathering over the Royal City.
Eldorado had already shown a preference for Isaac. Everyone from the Cabinet to the general’s mansion, and even the main officials of the 24 departments in the Royal City knew this. The Regency was no exception.
There were already rumors outside that Clyfford was about to be abandoned by Eldorado.
But who was Clyfford?
Talbot waited for a while.
Since Roman was on duty at the general’s mansion and couldn’t make it over, Talbot quickly wrote a note and placed it under the pen holder on the desk before swiftly leaving the room.
In the main hall, the lord of Guardian Division, dressed in a crimson robe with four-clawed dragon embroidery, was already waiting.
Upon seeing Talbot step out, Laurie Stark cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, Lord Stackhouse.”
“Lord Stark, what brings you here so late? Is there something urgent?”
“Lord Regent would like to invite you to the mansion for a discussion on an important matter. Please…”
“Now?”
“Yes…”
Talbot furrowed his brow. His eyes were fixated on Laurie’s face, as if favonovel.com was trying to discern something from his expression, but found no flaws.
“Let’s go,” Talbot said with a wave of his hand.
They both stepped over the threshold and then soared into the sky.
***
Inside Hackworth Mansion, in the study, the aroma of sandalwood incense filled the air. Talbot sat upright and formal, watching Clyfford brew tea opposite him.
What on earth are they doing drinking tea in the middle of the night?
“I heard that His Majesty has ordered you to personally lead his men to Skypeace City tomorrow?” The sound of boiling water bubbling in the teapot filled the air as Clyfford smiled at Talbot.
Talbot was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said, “Lord Regent, you’re indeed well-informed. Is that really the case?”
“Oh, I’d like to hear your thoughts. Are you planning to send Isaac’s mother to Skypeace City?” Clyfford gently placed a cup of hot tea in front of Talbot.
