Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 78: Vicious Plan!

Theodore paused and continued:
“Now many people suspect that he is the son of prophecy.

Whether it is true or not, we must stay away from the limelight for the time being.

I don't want our plans to attract the prying eyes of a soothsayer."

Greed flashed in the sorcerer's eyes:
"You said he had a dragon egg on him?"

Theodore said lightly:

"He has been taken away by the Pale Wings. I suspect this person was secretly cultivated by the Pale Wings.

Otherwise, it is hard to believe that a sixteen-year-old can achieve such a level by himself."

The sorcerer smacked his lips regretfully and said:

"He's so obsessed with Nephthys, could it be that he's seen through her identity?"

Theodore fell silent, this was something he had been worried and confused about.

After a while, he shook his head:
"It doesn't matter whether you can see it or not, Nephthys will be ours sooner or later anyway.

He has so many enemies, and this time he has offended the Black Tomb and Hell. When there is unrest in the future, someone will naturally deal with him."

Theodore changed the subject and asked:
"How's the contact with the Goblin Alliance going?

Haven't they relented yet?"

The sorcerer replied:
“Several tribal chiefs are still hesitant. After all, they were badly beaten three hundred years ago!
It will not be easy to encourage them to attack Effiin again."

Theodore sneered:

"If our ancestors hadn't spared them three hundred years ago, the Goblin Alliance would have perished long ago."

Listening to Theodore's words, the sorcerer looked at him with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Although the two parties are now in a cooperative relationship, he is still extremely wary of the DuPont family.

It is really hard to regard a family that has been jumping back and forth and betting on both sides for three hundred years as a reliable ally.

Theodore's voice continued:

"Tell them that we have many partners this time. If they hesitate again, it will not be their turn."

The sorcerer nodded slowly.

Theodore stretched his body and suddenly asked:
"I heard that the second young master from the Southern Territory has returned?"

The sorcerer said:

"He's been back for two days. He said he came to Florence to deliver a letter from the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory to the Prime Minister.

It's a bit unusual that you stayed here for such a long time."

Theodore chuckled and said:

"Her Majesty the Queen is truly strong-willed, but she saved us a great deal of trouble.

If they can really force the Southern Border to rebel first, then we can save ourselves a lot of worries!"

……

Theodore's good wish will soon come true.

Andre, who was planning to force a rebellion in the South, has returned to the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Saxon Cromwell's face grew even sicker than before.

Perhaps beauty consumed too much of his energy.

Perhaps it was the news from Effiin that made him restless.

Seeing Andre finally return from Effiin, Saxon couldn't wait to ask:
"What on earth happened in Florence that suddenly triggered a war between saints?
People are saying that the Son of Prophecy has been born?

Also, why is the Golden Winged Girl there too?
How are your talks with the Gaunt family in the South going? Has Sandro taken the bait? "

Faced with Saxon's barrage of questions, Andre answered them one by one in an orderly manner.

He also reported to Saxon in detail everything that had happened in Florence over the past two days.

Saxon was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly:
"This foolish king is so lucky to have married a queen like Adair.

What right does he have in front of so many saints and legends who are speaking up for him?
Just because he has a good father?"

Andre raised his eyebrows slightly. I have said so many key things. Do you only care about this one?
It is true that women are the source of trouble.

Andre said soothingly:

"Third Prince, please be patient. Our plan is close to success, and Sandro is almost convinced. As long as the plan succeeds, the rebellion in the southern border will approach the royal capital.

We will have our accomplices in the Aifei court who will take advantage of the situation and ask for help from the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Wouldn't it be better if His Highness could personally lead the elite army to suppress the rebellion, capture the queen, and make a name for himself on the continent?"

Saxon's eyes lit up with excitement.

He seemed to have seen the scene of himself leading the army to capture the royal capital, killing that stupid Corleone, and capturing Adele.

Andre whispered:

"Your Highness, the prerequisite for doing all this is that you must speed up the suppression of domestic opposition and eliminate those disobedient forces.

Otherwise, if someone comes and blocks you from sending troops, or prevents the other princes from sending troops, that would be disastrous."

Saxon's eyes flashed with murderous intent:
“Sir, you are right. There are a few corrupt nobles in the country and it is time for them to leave.

Otherwise, after such great military achievements, there won't be enough empty titles in the country to reward my generals!"

Andre leaned forward slightly:
"Your Highness is wise."

He took out a list and handed it to the other party:

"This is what I commissioned Black Tomb to investigate for us. There are some forces in the country that are plotting against us. I hope Your Highness will not be lenient."

Saxon looked at the list, his face showing a look of doubt and uncertainty. He said:

“Everything else is easy to explain, but this…Duke Gavin.

He was a close minister of the previous king and had great influence in the country.

If we touch him without solid evidence, even my father wouldn't allow it."

Andre said softly:
"You can't have as much evidence as you want.

Your Highness, I have evidence against a viscount of the Wind Breeze Kingdom. What do you think of the charge of treason?"

Saxon's eyes moved slightly. The Kingdom of Windbreak and the Kingdom of Ceylon were sworn enemies.

If we could really accuse Duke Gavin of colluding with the Kingdom of Wind, then things would be much simpler.

But Saxon was still a little hesitant:
"This is too risky. It's not easy to frame a duke of a kingdom. Your evidence must be able to withstand verification and scrutiny.

Without irrefutable evidence, it would be impossible to take down the Gavin family."

Andre said confidently:
"Don't worry, Third Prince. I'm sure I can do this perfectly!"

Saxon fell into deep thought, and after a long moment he murmured:

“But Duke Gavin served the late king for forty years, worked hard and made great contributions, and was a well-known loyal minister both inside and outside the court.

Even several of his nephews and nieces died on the battlefield.

I really can’t bear it…”

Seeing that Saxon was still hesitating, Andre took drastic measures:
“Your Highness, I had no intention of taking action against Duke Gavin so soon.

But...I've heard some rumors recently."

Andre lowered his voice:

"His Excellency the Duke has always upheld orthodoxy. He has always believed that a prince born from a concubine should not have the right of inheritance!
And he has already started to take action, looking for an opportunity to unite with the ministers to make a suggestion to His Majesty!"

A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Saxon's eyes.

His background as a concubine was a sore spot in his heart and an eternal pain.

Andre continued:

"Your Highness, throughout history, countless loyal ministers and generals have died unjustly.

Duke Gavin wouldn't be a big deal.

As a king, even loyal ministers must be abandoned sometimes!"

Saxon took a deep breath and finally made up his mind:

"Sir, I'll leave this matter entirely to you!"

Andre bowed slightly:
"Your Highness, you have made an absolutely wise decision.

History will record that when a great king was still a prince, he decisively uncovered a traitor who had been lurking in the country for decades, had ulterior motives, and posed a huge threat to the kingdom's cause!
He made an indelible contribution to the stability and unity of the kingdom!"
