Chapter 912: The Idealist (I)

"It's just that solving the Lord of Dawn has never been a problem, the question is how to control the order of the Dawn Kingdom, if the follow-up ruler is still the Moya family or someone who supports the royal family, then this operation will not achieve its intended purpose, and you should know this very well. Roland looked Andrea in the eye and continued, "Originally, my intervention would have justified this sweep, but now I am afraid that the three major families will have to stand in front of the stage. ”

The simple reason is that someone must take over the chaotic politics of Glowlight City after the fall of Ampein Moya, and the title of King of the Grey Keep and the strength of the First Army are enough to intimidate all the nobles who are ready to move, even if the Earl of Quinn becomes regent, he will be regarded as the spokesperson of the Wimbleton royal family.

However, in the new plan, the premise of the Grey Castle's intervention is difficult to achieve, and the witch itself is not considered a political force, so it can only be summed up in the name of the three major families, otherwise the diplomatic war will turn into a retaliatory assassination, which Roland must avoid.

There are pros and cons to this plan for the Quinn family, the disadvantage is that he needs to be the target of public criticism, and the advantage is that his prestige will also increase exponentially, if he can take this opportunity to control Glowlight City, the regent spokesperson will have a chance to become the true new king of Dawn. Considering the abilities of Count Quinn himself, the benefits should far outweigh the disadvantages.

Andrea hesitated for a moment, but quickly figured out the key point, "Can you do this...... You'll only get a limited amount of benefits. ”

"It's better than letting Ampein continue to oppose me, and no matter how bad it is, I can save Otto's life," Roland said noncommittally, "As I said at the meeting, I will not easily give up anyone who has contributed to the Grey Keep. ”

"I see...... I see," her expression relaxed, and her eyes filled with gratitude, "Miss Edith is right, you are indeed a benevolent king. ”

"Hmm...... "Roland was slightly stunned, "Edith Kant, what did she say?"

"Well, she said the same thing as you did—she knew before she set out on the expedition that you would be to Sir Otto's aid. In fact, if it weren't for the persuasion of the Northland Pearl, I probably wouldn't have made a decision so quickly. ”

And such a thing?

Roland pretended to be impassive and nodded, "In that case, I will write a letter to Earl Quinn later, which in addition to the action steps, also represents the Gray Keep's covenant." While most people make the right choice, I want it to be 100 percent, so you'll have to follow the Witch of Punishment to Radiant City and make sure he follows the plan I said. Truth be told, I trust you, not your father, Earl Quinn, so I'm going to have to let you stay here a little longer. Of course, once the problem is resolved, you can also return to Neverwinter with the witches. ”

After letting go of her worries, Andrea returned to her aristocratic elegance, she lifted the corner of her skirt, bowed slightly, and said, "You have achieved this point, I naturally can't refuse." I also have a letter for Her Highness Tilly, and I would like you to pass it on to me. ”

"It's just a gesture," Roland replied with a smile.

After Andrea left, Nightingale frowned, "What the hell is that guy doing?"

"You're talking about Edith?" he touched his chin, "huh...... Maybe it was just a casual conversation about it, after all, both of them were present at the decision-making meeting before the expedition. Why, can't she think I'm a benevolent person?"

"I don't think even if you were a good person like no other in the world, she wouldn't praise you like that. Nightingale shrugged, "She's not like she's a person who would mention kindness......"

Before Roland was about to say something, the guards outside the tent lifted the curtain and reported, "Your Majesty, Master Edith Kant wants to see you. ”

Oh? That's kind of interesting.

He looked at Nightingale for a moment, then promised, "Let her in." ”

"Yes!"

After entering the big tent, the Northland Pearl gave a simple salute, "Your Majesty, I hope you will change your mind and give up your interference in the Dawn Kingdom. ”

Roland frowned, "If you have an idea, you should put it forward directly at the meeting, now that the decision has been decided, wouldn't I be treating the order as child's play if I regret it?"

"That's why I'll report back to you separately after the meeting," Edith said slowly, "The plan can continue to be implemented as long as you make a few changes in the details - it will seem to outsiders that you have not broken your promise, but that some unexpected factors have caused the mission to not be fulfilled on time." ”

Hearing this, Nightingale couldn't help but show her figure, "What are you up to?" first persuaded Andrea to come to His Majesty to help save people, and now he said not to interfere in the affairs of Dawn, if there is no conspiracy, it is unbelievable!"

Ordinary people would be embarrassed or hesitant when the contradictory remarks were exposed, but Edith was unmoved, as if she had expected this scene for a long time. "Because the situation has changed," she said calmly, "you can tell a lie, right? Then you should be able to hear that everything I say is true." ”

"Talk about your reasons," Roland came with interest.

"An unstoppable two-pronged offensive will make your name known to the whole of Dawn, and even if Earl Quinn is regent, the commoners will know who is behind it. When the Devil's threat wanes, you can slowly influence the direction of Dawn's policies, and even turn it into your fiefdom. Constrained by the strength of the First Army, only a small part of the effort needed to be devoted to this - but now that foundation is gone. ”

Edith tucked her long hair and said methodically, "The invasion of the Grey Keep army and the coup d'état by Count Quinn are essentially two different things, the latter will only greatly increase the prestige of the Count - whether the other nobles are intimidating or subduing, or secretly opposing each other, it can be said that it has nothing to do with you. ”

"And then let Ampein Moya be the enemy of the Grey Keep?" the Nightingale questioned.

"Even if His Majesty does nothing, it will be difficult for him to keep the throne, at least it will be impossible to call on vassals to serve him - after the Battle of the Old Holy City, Ampein no longer has enough power and prestige to rule the kingdom, and Dawn will soon be in chaos. "In this turmoil, Count Quinn may still be on the throne, but his influence will never be throughout the country, and if he is lucky, Otto Losey will be able to save his life, and even if he doesn't, Andrea won't blame you, because it's not your 'fault', Your Majesty." She emphasized.

It can be said that Andrea also took this step into account, so she hesitated to say the reminder that "the benefits you get are very limited".

Roland is also well aware of this, but he would rather have a more stable ally than these gains and losses—even if Earl Quinn does not initially devote himself wholeheartedly to himself, the war of divine will will completely erase the barriers between humans, and in the face of an enemy that determines the fate of civilization, unity against the enemy is the most important interest.

Northland Pearl should not fail to see this, and in his impression, Edith was by no means a short-sighted person.

If this is the case, and the other party is only blinded by the power in front of him, then he will be disappointed.
