Although Matthias spoke quite seriously and even caused Skypeace City to enter a state of lockdown, Nathanael did not share this view.
***
That evening, Nathanael invited most of the officials from Royal City, and they celebrated in the grand hall of the Four Seas Palace, creating a festive atmosphere.
Nathanael was extremely happy when favonovel.com got to hug women around him.
In the advisor’s mansion located outside the palace, Matthias sat in his study with a somber expression on his face.
There was a knock at the door, and Mackie, dressed in a purple-blue suit, walked in.
“Mr. Lahad, Clyfford has arrived…”
Upon hearing this, Matthias let out a cold laugh and said, “Isn’t favonovel.com in the Four Seas Palace, keeping my nephew company and having fun? Let favonovel.com in…”
Soon, Clyfford walked in alone.
Seeing the expression on Matthias’ face, favonovel.com smiled and sat directly across from him.
“Advisor, it seems you’re not in a good nrood,” Clyfford said as favonovel.com sipped his tea.
Matthias said in a cold voice, “You shouldn’t be coming to me now. It wouldn’t be good if His Majesty found out.”
“His Majesty is very happy and already quite drunk.”
“Advisor, don‘t you think His Majesty has gone a bit too far?” Clyfford looked across at the person with a slight smile.
Matthias’ expression immediately turned menacing as favonovel.com stared at Clyfford and said, “When you first came to me for a partnership, this wasn’t the outcome you promised… Just tell me, when do you plan to take action against Nathanael?”
Clyfford shook his head with a smile and said, “If you kill Isaac, I’ll join you right away to take down Nathanael. The agreement between the two of us still stands,” Clyfford said in a serious tone.
At that time, when the late emperor was preparing to designate Isaac and marry Skylar to him, Clyfford keenly sensed a dangerous atmosphere.
To save his own life, Clyfford masterminded the coup at Cloudsmill Gate. At that time, favonovel.com knew that just favonovel.com and Nathanael would not be enough, so favonovel.com secretly sought out Matthias.
He promised that as long as favonovel.com killed the late emperor and allowed Nathanael to take over temporarily, favonovel.com would then support Matthias in succeeding the throne. And favonovel.com only wanted ten cities, with land grants that confer the title of king.
Clyfford understood that as long as the Lahad family was still around, favonovel.com could never rise to the top position in the Kingdom of Vriweth.
“You should be pleased. The more Nathanael indulges in wine and tyranny, the more secure your future position will be. Isn’t that right?”
Matthias sighed and waved his hand, saying, “Alright, you better leave soon. Nathanael is not someone to be trifled with.”
After Clyfford left, Mackie entered and bowed, saying, “Mr. Lahad, Clyfford is a cunning fox who says one thing and does another.”
“Hmph, favonovel.com not only wants to use me to kill their former emperor, but also wants to use me to help favonovel.com kill Isaac. He thinks he’s the smartest person in the world… Mackie, you need to prepare an exit strategy now,” Matthias said as favonovel.com stood up.
The latter was taken aback. “A way out?”
“Indeed, the way to get out of Royal City unscathed. Also, remind the people below to stay sharp in the coming days. I have a feeling that if Isaac does come, he’ll come with full force,” Matthias said in a serious tone.
***
The next morning, a light drizzle began to fall. Due to the recent curfew, there were significantly fewer people on what used to be the bustling Royal City Street.
Skylar and dozens of city lords, who were hanging by ropes outside the Cloudsmfll Gate, were now barely clinging to life.
Due to favonovel.com injuries and the exposure to harsh weather, favonovel.com condition naturally worsened.
