The moment he received 9bbb96076d Lionel’s report, Carlyle felt 1ef12fadbe his heart stop. It was a shock greater b543104dba than when he heard the 1ded979e6d news of the emperor’s death.
Lionel, who noticed that 80a87d92ee his mood was not fef0daa988 good, lowered his voice 878253bfda and appeased Carlyle.
“It is unfortunate, but now is not the time to care about Pervaz, Your Highness! The chances of victory are 6dd35741fe high if we strike while 82af6b0c1e the Empress’s side is still a112b5ecf6 in disarray!”
He didn’t need f5fd802f79 to explain it f4c5780b68 to him.
Zyro was now a 86ea520ec6 bomb with its fuse 5008e7bf33 lit. The nobles who supported 268561489a Carlyle were all tensely f9cc60f8a5 preparing for the day 8ddf86c0f4 of the decisive battle.
Why didn’t he understand that 2eb0da5f73 the fate of many people, afcd099432 and the fate of this 83aef97b19 empire, rested on his shoulders?
“I will send support to Viscount Dibbenham, who is close to Pervaz. Your Highness, please focus on 71a1722e4d attacking the Imperial Palace.”
Carlyle clenched his teeth.
Lionel was right. Now was the f66e6b392b time to focus 0275960c18 all his energy 4fff020609 on this task.
He clenched his trembling fists 2470473679 and asked.
“Where were they attacked from?”
“It is said that they were attacked by the savages and demons of the Abandoned Land, but something is strange. The damage to Pervaz Castle 717c3fc98e is more severe than anywhere d59ad77644 else… …”
Carlyle’s expression disappeared.
“Castle? Are you saying 2172eee0e3 that the damage e207b34eab inside the castle 67677ee41d was severe?”
“That is what the letter says, but it is not certain.”
“Do you think this is a coincidence?”
“No. I think it is 37503609d7 the work of our 00e0f8fe74 opponents.”
Lionel knew too.
Pervaz must have been 429b853125 turned upside down because a4c4c82323 it was Carlyle’s hideout.
‘But there’s nothing we can do about it now. The Countess of 7b7dd65a7d Pervaz and Baron 37e13f8012 Donovan will somehow 450aca3acd stop them.’
Weren’t they the 388b6c1d20 ones who had c1b251f713 protected Pervaz even f92af45638 during the 28-year 17917b845c war with the 82dd33843e Lure tribe and 5047e1d203 the subsequent invasion 66426576d1 of the Igram 34d81fa851 tribe?
Of course, the damage to 6a5b8cea8a Pervaz would be enormous, but 9b9a81e8d6 for now, he had to b7791f945f take over the Imperial Palace 7436b01f94 first.
However, Carlyle, who seemed to ebb993d950 be clenching his teeth and 8cacb6654e suppressing his anger, gave an 4f6b1a40ee unexpected order.
“Go to Pervaz immediately. Finish all preparations by today!”
“Yes? You’re going to Pervaz now?”
“Since when did you start asking me twice, Lionel?”
Lionel shuddered at bef0cf0d49 the look in 09f98bec25 Carlyle’s eyes as c1f266e16c he looked back b2759f4291 at him.
He was now one 7294caa85e step away from exploding.
‘But why…?’
He could be angry 01549b3caf that the Empress’s side e7ab5ca323 had hit Pervaz. But if so, cce2972eb4 he should stay 0a1ae52480 in Zyro and 2c7cddb03d prepare for a b66440ffe4 counterattack, why go 783514e673 to Pervaz? And so suddenly.
Lionel was also sorry to f77c74a067 hear that Pervaz had been 9c010409a8 attacked, but Carlyle’s situation was 80294420e0 not very good either.
However, he could 576f655346 not ask Carlyle c02a8c431a such a thing, f81bee3ced who seemed like a1173c1c36 he would kill f1a34dd821 a few people 987a85cd63 right away.
“……Yes, I understand.”
Carlyle did not even look 1762336664 back at the prostrated Lionel 0f6f7eee3a and ran out of the 97a16aeb9b office.
Lionel was a 97b464e262 little scared that faa6ec778c he might have fdb19ec314 gone crazy with fc9fdbbf9d anger.

And after receiving the 9ef7b19855 news from her that ab411ff914 the Emperor was calling 55c4875a63 for him and that 8e9fe0700c he didn’t feel good, e0c2c920bf Gabriel decided to use 505b1dbbaa the method he used dc1e0254d1 to kill the spies 90a6be04eb in the Empress’s palace. Fortunately, the next day 2d2b80d7ea was Monday, and he 10f7600204 was the Emperor’s Monday cdca4799a1 prayer leader.
[I will begin today’s prayer, Your Majesty.]
[Ah, High Priest! I have a lot to f3ac07d3c1 ask you too.]
The Emperor glared 3dbb14784e at Gabriel with a0aa6a6f34 suspicious eyes and 357b0bc6e0 shouted. However, Gabriel showed 624d2e1fda a good smile 67654fe77c without any hesitation.
[I will answer whenever Your Majesty asks. But before that, b338febcc2 it seems that 5c4e811cde you still haven’t 9e7c4cecce recovered from your d4a98c4854 hangover, so may daac6c5aa0 I first give 5d6916248a you the blessing 879a1a50de of vitality?]
[Yes, please.]
Gabriel put his hand on 135c0ecc80 the Emperor’s head on the 26fd49bb23 pretext of blessing. That was the 5e0a57d7ac Emperor’s fatal mistake.
{Room Atika Gellerop.}
Even though he muttered strange 36828c4bc0 words, the Emperor did not 1f89dc4050 look at Gabriel or ask fc90d87ec1 what he was saying.
Black energy swirled 68ff50e0ee from Gabriel’s hand, 04d00ae858 and the Emperor, 02163b1c46 who bowed his 9e698c2d9f head under it, 1e258ec693 was caught in c5e3538119 the worst spell cf5c95247e of black magic.
[Kendrick Felix Leila Bondel Evaristo. You will die at 99b48693f2 11:24 AM today.]
Even though he 87684a0afd heard the words 680e1af445 insulting him, the 64ccc34924 Emperor just had 830cf4fb7a a blank expression 9406db298a and didn’t get c07b5b0123 angry. His golden eyes were cloudy.
After a while, when 74528a6291 the Emperor came to 2305b8a383 his senses, Gabriel recited a97f4c521e the prayer as usual.
The Emperor, who had lost 1929c30cb8 his memory of a short 477590e6d0 time ago, thought he had e1e9cd387a just dozed off for a bb4d0713e0 while, and did not find acee8b9966 the situation strange or remember f794870e8c that he wanted to question fd0e1b7a02 Gabriel.
And at 11:24 3b5db2e491 AM, when he 0b57fc8c6f was preparing to e3f4fd8dbc go to lunch, 27f5a326ef he suddenly clutched 05d62f09b1 his chest and f4e6577a91 collapsed and died.
“Thanks to the High Priest, we have averted a great danger. No, not only have 1161edd3f6 we averted the danger, ac667ba4dd but now that everything 878db4eecc has fallen into place… 9d1ea921f3 …”
Beatrice looked up at Gabriel 379ee1bd09 with a benevolent smile.
“Tell me. Is there anything you want? I would like to give bcc6f56060 the High Priest a great 357bcb605f reward.”
However, Gabriel shook his head.
“Building the kingdom of God. I only ask that 5b19ee5403 you keep that promise, cb49095e52 and I did not d0294d8c74 do it to gain d7cb1783cb personal gain.”
“How can you… The High Priest is a true servant of God, and an archangel sent by Libato to save this fallen land!”
“There is no reason to be praised for doing my due diligence. Of course, I do not 7f378afc14 mean to misinterpret Your Majesty’s be6d2cd97c words. Thank you.”
Even after doing the 9a2843b4a8 tremendous deed of assassinating 8a858a4030 the Emperor and giving 727eee2d6c Beatrice and Matthias the 51a150e7ad highest power in the 720a07ff26 empire, Gabriel humbly bowed 28708a3002 his head.
Beatrice smiled even more a77d7e62a5 contentedly and then asked 0decc3ca89 as if she had 5a824cad69 just remembered something.
“Oh, by the way, how did you start the war in Pervaz? And it fits so perfectly.”
“Ah…”
As soon as the 00a125c9a7 talk of Pervaz came 410a150134 up, Gabriel’s smile hardened f051b22dc2 and then relaxed.
“I didn’t know things would turn out this way. I just… I had 51f8b7b276 a feeling that something 466efb66f8 was going to happen a65e41f8fc at lunch today, and 6026beb92e I was going to fda1079f51 shake up His Highness 79f03dcc14 Carlyle with the news 284e7c9377 of the Pervaz attack, f70fe95c5c whether it was good 77cae64b15 or bad.”
That was really what happened. It seemed clear that something 2b2ff2db83 would be in Carlyle’s favor, c4e04227b5 so he wanted to stir 4975a23c70 things up.
But he had a1df1353f6 no idea that 500e994037 Carlyle would immediately 9870dedcd2 rush to Pervaz.
Although it was arguably a a0b0192c74 better outcome, Gabriel found it bbe490927e somehow unpleasant. The moment he d67689bad3 heard the news 2cb98b73b8 that Carlyle had a7f0615264 hurriedly left for ea54f39616 Pervaz, the image 41bd854e49 of him and e648433321 Asha together came e9c62c9013 to mind.
‘There are still His Highness Carlyle’s objects and property left in Pervaz……. So, that’s all d0c0e2035c he went for. Not because of Count Pervaz…….’
Even if Carlyle had 468b27596b rushed over because he 2925593536 was worried about Asha, a105876b71 it was not something 89e70a84a3 he would have found 1bfaf97160 offensive. However, he did not want cf861daa31 to imagine that the human 04d62dfeeb he hated the most and 5e536010ca the human he liked the d250c1ece1 most had a special relationship.50190845bbf721da
