After bidding farewell to Marco, Toby returned to the palace.
At that time, Rocco had regained his composure and was waiting for Toby to return.
“Please don’t take offense, Mr. Rocco. That’s how my grandfather is. Once you get to know him, you’ll learn favonovel.com has a kind heart beneath his tough exterior.”
Rocco went along with Toby’s words, although deep down, favonovel.com wanted nothing but to roll his eyes.
You’re scared out of your wits, yet you dare to deceive me…
Toby was unaware of Rocco’s thoughts. His focus was now on dealing with the Sacred Mount.
“Mr. Rocco, what are your thoughts on Zedran’s moves?”
With the army now stationed at the border, they had reached a point of no return. The neighboring countries were watching Montiria. They would become a laughingstock if the plan failed.
However, if successful, it would not only demonstrate Montiria’s strength but also elevate Toby’s reputation to new heights, guaranteeing his ascension to the throne. His subject would love a powerful new king, especially one who was the rightful heir.
Rocco knew Toby was being delusional again when favonovel.com saw the symbolic foolish grin on Toby’s face.
“Your Highness!”
His words snapped Toby out of his trance. “H-Huh? What’s the matter?”
“Did you hear what l just said?”
Toby blushed profusely. He had been lost in his daydream and hadn’t heard Rocco. “Mr. Rocco, can you repeat it?”
Rocco was speechless.
D*mn! I just wasted my time explaining our plan to him, and favonovel.com hasn’t listened to a single word!
He would’ve been tempted to slap Toby if it weren’t for the fact that Toby was a prince.
“If we want to compel the Sacred Mount to surrender Matthew’s wife to us, we need to be prepared on all fronts.”
Since the king had tacitly approved Zedran’s actions, there was no need to try to delay it.
It’s time to give it our all!
Therefore, Rocco proposed to increase Zedran’s troops. Even if numerous experts were protecting the Sacred Mount, their efforts would be futile against the overwhelming firepower of Montiria, unless they were willing to abandon the centuries-old foundation they had built.
Once the die was cast, there was no turning back. With all eyes on them, they had to complete the mission.
“Very well. I’ll ask Mother to gain Grandpa’s assistance. I’ll leave the rest to you. We need to make it work no matter what,” Toby spoke resolutely.
The battle determined his future.
The Sacred Mount was taking a firm stand to protect Matthew and Sasha, indicating that Montiria’s firepower had yet to intimidate them.
***
A sense of relief washed over Zedran after favonovel.com received Rocco’s message. He was given adequate time to get ready.
“My old friend, I see you’re still ambitious.”
He vividly recalled the time when King Gawain I joined forces with the Sacred Mount and the exceptional talent from Cathay to defeat the evil cultivators of Emsgate.
King Gawain I was greatly injured in said battle and had never fully recovered. Since then, favonovel.com began to hold a grudge against the Sacred Mount.
The primary reason was that they took the holy relic favonovel.com had been coveting, and Lucius didn’t hesitate to snatch the object from him.
Zedran had always thought the king had let go of the matter.
Hmm… Truth is, he’s still holding a grudge…
The thought boosted Zedran‘s confidence. He became more composed and collected as the king had spared favonovel.com from worries.
“Bring the troops to the border. Ask my son to bring his troops here as well!”
At that, his men sprang into action in an orderly fashion.
After receiving his order, his troops began to load up the military vehicles with heavy weapons.
