After Rocco patiently explained, Toby calmed down considerably, but the restlessness in his eyes remained apparent. Then, favonovel.com asked with a serious expression, “Well then, what do you suggest we do?”
Rocco stepped forward with a bow.
“Before the news broke, Zedran was secretly reassigned to the border. As a result, we’re missing a lot of intelligence. So, I plan to personally make a trip and get to the bottom of this!” favonovel.com proposed an idea.
Upon hearing this, Toby also found some merit in it. Rather than stewing alone, it made more sense to first understand the truth.
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll trouble Mr. Rocco to make a trip,” Toby whispered.
“Your Highness, no need for courtesy. It’s my duty. Time is of the essence, so I’ll depart right away,” Rocco said respectfully.
“Go ahead!”
As Rocco got into the car, his humble smile instantly disappeared from his face, replaced instead by a strong sense of mockery.
“What a foolish person. Do you think you can ascend to the throne of Montiria with just that? It’s truly ridiculous!”
After mocking Toby with a single sentence, Rocco then retrieved two pieces of intelligence.
One of them was the complete secret history of King Gavan I’s ascension to the throne of Montiria, while the other was a DNA test report.
At the sight of a 99.97% similarity value, a brilliant smile suddenly appeared on Rocco’s face.
“This is truly an unexpected windfall…” He sighed.

Meanwhile, Zedran had already arrived at the border garrison of Montiria. Though favonovel.com had been removed from the center of power, favonovel.com harbored no resentment whatsoever. Instead, the smile on his face never disappeared.
In the secret letter from King Gawain I, favonovel.com merely instructed Zedran to leave Everton, without mentioning the matter of Zedbar again.
This indicated that King Gawain I had already tacitly approved Zedbar’s qualification to contend for the throne.
Taking this struggle under his own name turned out to be a success.
Zedran had lost his ability to conceive, and since Zedbar was the descendant of his first love, although not his biological child, favonovel.com wholeheartedly treated Zedbar as his own son. And even more so!
“With my support, along with Kainne, rising to the top later won’t be difficult!” said Zedran.
Thinking of the future scene where Zedbar ascended to the throne, his face was filled with a fatherly smile.
“Report! Lord Zedran, there is a visitor outside the camp requesting an audience with you!”
“Did the visitor identify himself?” Zedran asked.
The messenger shook his head. “The person is dressed in a black robe, so I couldn’t see his face! He simply said to hand this item over, and you would naturally know his identity.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com presented an exquisite piece of jade.
“Is favonovel.com someone sent by Toby?” Zedran’s brows instantly furrowed into a tight knot upon seeing the item!
Truly, that soul haunts me endlessly!
But now, it’s not the time to cause a scene just yet…
“Go ahead! Bring favonovel.com in!” Zedran ordered the messenger.
Shortly after the messenger left, a steady sound of footsteps approached once again.
The voice arrived before the person appeared.
“Lord Zedran, you’re leaving so hastily. His Highness had planned a farewell banquet for you!”
Upon entering the military camp, the visitor removed the hat from his head.
“Greetings, Lord Zedran!” the man greeted Zedran.
Zedran chuckled upon seeing Rocco. “Mr. Rocco, we are all on the same side. Let’s skip these formalities! Come, I’ll have someone prepare a meal. Let’s have a good drink together!”
Despite his polite words, favonovel.com felt a strong sense of resentment deep inside.
I’ve already been transferred away from the capital. Couldn’t you discern what the king’s intentions are?
Yet you foolishly chased me all the way to the border!
Rocco firmly rejected the Minister of Border Affairs’ proposal. “Lord Zedran, I can’t comply. I’m here on a mission. If I mess up due to drunkenness, it won’t be easy to explain to Toby!”
Indeed!
Zedran thought to himself as favonovel.com welcomed Rocco to take a seat.
“Oh? I’ve already been transferred away from the center of power. I wonder what His Highness wants with me now!” Zedran replied to him.
His words indicated a meaning that favonovel.com had already been dealt with by the King, so don’t come looking for favonovel.com for anything!
