Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 939 Wish (Part 1)

"Senior brother, you don't need to deal with this kind of trash yourself. Let me teach him a lesson!" Before Gris could answer, a man stepped out from behind him, said a few words, and rushed out.

"No, you..." Seeing that it was the eighth brother, Lord, who volunteered, Griss felt something was wrong, but the other party was as fast as lightning and he couldn't stop him.

"What, are you worried that Old Eight isn't a match for Dumbledore?" Ettusban asked, his face darkening slightly with displeasure.

“In terms of sheer strength, neither of the two Queens of Suliel are a match for Lord. But, but didn’t you say that Dumbledore is in great danger due to the drug? Lord is also known for being frivolous and impetuous. I’m worried that something might happen to him!” Griss replied, frowning.

“Although the potion used by Elsma is powerful, it has a time limit. As long as Lord isn’t too incompetent, he shouldn’t be in mortal danger! The key is that Dumbledore will inevitably perish after this battle, and that’s the result I want!” Etesban explained calmly.

"This is risking the lives and reputations of your brothers! You wouldn't be taking revenge because Lao Ba has repeatedly offended you, would you?!" As the senior brother of Gongzhuang Deming's faction, Gris held a very important position, and he was immediately annoyed upon hearing this.

“Rourke and Kino don’t yet know the importance of Suliel. If we don’t take this opportunity to put Elsma on the throne and control her with Macken, wouldn’t all this fuss be a waste of our time? Besides, with Dumbledore dead, you’ll have the chance to rekindle your romance with Queen Suliel. It’s a win-win situation, even if it comes with some sacrifices!” Etesban replied casually, a hint of disdain creeping onto his lips.

Gris blushed and forced a smile, saying, "Master promised Elsma he would spare Dumbledore's life. If King Suryl dies, how can Elsma live with himself?!"

"Hehe, it's true that the medicine was given by Master, but it was Elsma herself who did it. She's an expert in potions, how could she not know its power? Queen Suliel was clearly thinking about her and your future, Senior Brother. Leaving Dumbledore alive might alleviate some of your guilt, but from now on, Elsma and you will have to meet secretly. It's better to nip it in the bud!" Etesban chuckled.

"Queen Suliel is carrying your child, but for various reasons, she cannot be with you. Your master has come up with this solution, which, although opportunistic, is a rare win-win situation! Now that things have come to this, I advise you not to worry about those trivial details anymore. If not for any other reason, do you really want that unborn child to mistake its father for someone else?!" Seeing his senior brother's face turn pale and then red, Etesban, worried that the other party would cause trouble, added another sentence.

“No wonder Master entrusted Junior Brother with such an important task. It seems that it’s not only because this kid’s skill has reached its peak, but also because he is most similar to Master in terms of ruthlessness… Alas! It’s all my fault for being greedy for the empty title of Gongzhuang Deming’s eldest disciple. Otherwise, if I had gone to a distant land with Elsma and lived out my days in peace, how could so many troubles have arisen?!” Gris’s mind was racing, but he had no words to say.

At this moment, Lord, who had announced his name, was already fighting with King Suryl.

Dunpra has always been known for his bold, aggressive, and powerful fighting style, and this time was no exception. A flash of white light appeared as his spear launched an attack, sweeping towards his opponent like a tidal wave.

Despite being a fire-type enchanter, Lord didn't use any explosive skills. With a disdainful and somewhat frivolous smile, he held a ball of purple flame in each hand, dodging and weaving without ever engaging the enemy in a direct confrontation.

Feeling that his opponent was deliberately toying with him, Dempra was furious. He intensified his efforts and began to gather his strength, preparing to unleash a powerful attack.

“His Majesty’s skill has improved rapidly, but he still seems no match for Lord. Let’s go up and call a halt to the battle in a little while, or we might lose something!” Emin, watching the battle with great anxiety, whispered to Holmes.

“He originally intended to challenge Gris, but I’m afraid he was somewhat confident. Our queen is adept at using potions to enhance her power, and I think His Majesty has plenty of stamina. If Lord doesn’t show his true strength, he’ll inevitably suffer a great loss!” Holmes’s judgment was clearly superior, and he replied casually.

“This concerns the life and death of Sulier, how can we let a monarch risk his life?!” Aimin retorted, feeling uncomfortable with the situation.

"Hmph!" Holmes retorted angrily, "We agreed to remain neutral, but today he immediately sided with Kino the moment he appeared. Is this how you show concern for the future of the nation? Moreover, as subjects, how can we interfere with the King's decisions?!" "General, you now hold the position of acting regent, so you naturally have the right and obligation to advise the King on his behavior. Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?! Even if the Queen's potion can temporarily enhance the King's power, there will inevitably be a backlash afterward. You should know the consequences of doing so better than I do!" Amin felt a chill in her heart and questioned sharply.

"You investigated the Queen's background before, what were the results?" the old general suddenly changed the subject and asked.

“Elsma does indeed have royal blood from Suliel. Although she has lived in Macken since childhood, she has a deep understanding of our country’s culture. Moreover, she was recommended by Queen Capricorn, and she is also with…” Although Emin was dissatisfied, she still answered truthfully.

"You bear a slight resemblance to Capricorn Eyes, don't you? Alas! Your Majesty still can't forget your old flame!" Holmes interrupted, sighing softly.

"Do you think there's something wrong with it?" Ai Min asked in surprise.

“Although the letter of recommendation was in Capricorn Eyes’ handwriting, you probably haven’t confirmed it with her, have you? Even Maisan probably doesn’t know that Capricorn Eyes was the matchmaker between the King and Elsma!” Holmes narrowed his eyes, his face darkening.

"What do you mean? Are you still hiding this at this juncture?!" Ai Min panicked.

"Don't just focus on the battle, also look at the Queen's expression!" Holmes reminded him coldly.

Looking in that direction, one could see that Elsma, whose gaze should have been fixed on her husband who was engaged in fierce fighting, was instead glancing frequently at Gris and Etesban beside him with her teary eyes.

"Is there something wrong with the Queen?!" Ai Min, being a meticulous person, muttered to herself upon seeing this.

“Now that things have come to this, I’m not afraid to tell you!” Holmes said in a deep voice, “Etesban and I had an agreement long ago. As long as I didn’t side with Cino or Ruhr, he would step in to ensure Suliel’s neutrality. Moreover, when Masan disappeared, Etesban told me to prepare to take over as regent, and the decree came down the very next day! If it wasn’t you who intervened, then only the Queen could have such methods!”

At the crucial moment, Holmless finally made a decision and revealed the whole truth.

"Lord Balk's murder, could it be your 'greeting gift' to Etesban?!" Emin's heart was in turmoil, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked coldly.

“I’m not that heartless. Besides, I have a clear conscience. Everything I’ve done has been for Suliel’s future!” Holmles retorted without backing down.

"Could Elsma really be a spy for the Macken? But she... she's already carrying the king's child!" Amin chose to believe her, but at the same time, she had even more worries.

"Is the trick of using someone else to lay eggs a new one? Before Dumbledore ascended the throne, he already had several concubines serving him, but none of them had ever given birth to a child! How could the Queen become pregnant as soon as she arrived? This matter needs to be carefully investigated!" Holmes's voice grew colder.

Emin: Your Majesty, if Holmles's speculation is true, please do not blame your subject for being rude!
