Unspeakable bubbles

......................................................................

Bubble finally got busy, and through William's connections, she got to know many powerful figures in southern Saine.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and all the meetings were great successes.

Bubble felt that everything was going well, but the worry on William's face grew deeper and deeper.

After seeing off a group of visiting minor nobles, Bubble took advantage of a rare moment of free time and asked directly, "William, is things not going well?"

William was taken aback, then quickly said, "Of course it's going smoothly. The framework of the 'Southern Grand League' has been established, and in a few more days..."

"Then why have you been so worried lately?"

"..."

William was silent for a moment: "Leader, we have encountered unexpected resistance."

"Some people object? That's normal."

“It’s normal for some people to object, but the opposition has been coordinating too quickly.”

William said gravely, “I suspect that there was originally an alliance between them.”

"But that's impossible!"

William looked utterly bewildered: "Such a powerful force, and I never even noticed it before?"

"You've been hiding it too well!"

It's astonishing that such a powerful force is entrenched in the south, and the Boyle family hasn't even noticed!

“Leader, their motives are definitely not simple,” William said with certainty.

A group that has been hiding for so long suddenly jumping out at this critical juncture could not possibly be doing so because of hatred towards the grasslands!

Is there another purpose?

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go and talk to them?"

"Alliance Leader, those people's motives are unclear, so it is not advisable for you to personally take action."

William shook his head: "Let William test the waters first."

"..."

“Your Grace, perhaps only the King can resolve this matter,” Carmen, standing behind the little girl, suddenly spoke up.

"Ok?"

"Lady Carmen, do you know anything?"

Section 574, Chapter 573: Optimistic Bubbles

Carmen thought of the attack she had suffered earlier, and this opposition group that suddenly appeared was highly suspicious.

If they really did it, Duke William would have no chance against them!

"Your Grace, this is merely speculation. There may be a behemoth behind the opposition."

"giant?"

William sneered. With the Boyle and Yog families joining forces, what kind of behemoth could they not afford to offend?

"Just a guess, nothing more."

Under William's gaze, Carmen uttered the name of the terrifying cult: "The Apocalyptic Cult."

William's expression froze instantly; he never expected to hear that name.

He had initially thought Carmen was going to talk about royalty.

"..."

"The Apocalypse Secret Cult, those lunatics are not to be trifled with."

"If the opposition really is from Tantric Buddhism..."

William glanced at the little girl with concern: "Then the leader of the alliance can't go even more."

"After the disappearance of Mahakala, the Black Heaven Cult did not decline immediately. For a long time, it still suppressed the royal court and was an unshakable force on the grasslands."

"Until one day, the headquarters of the Black Heaven Cult caught fire. A large number of high priests, including the current Holy Maiden, all perished in the fire, and the Black Heaven Cult began its decline."

"Fire?"

Carmen's lips twitched. What kind of fire was so powerful that it severely damaged the mighty Black Heaven Cult?

"We told them it was a fire, but who would believe that?"

William said in a deep voice, "The Boyle family was also shocked by the news. After investigation, they found that the fire was inextricably linked to the cult."

"It was the thunderous blow from the Apocalypse Secret Sect that led to the true decline of the Black Heaven Sect."

"It turns out that the two churches are mortal enemies."

Carmen smiled wryly after hearing William's words.

'It seems that the king's arrival will only add fuel to the fire...'

'Alas, the Apocalyptic Secret Sect has inexplicably gained a terrifying adversary.'

At this moment, William advised, "My lord, I know you are filled with anger, but please be patient for now. Engaging in a fierce conflict with them at this critical juncture would only play into their hands."

After saying that, William secretly observed the little girl's expression.

'Huh, why isn't he angry at all?'

William was surprised to find that the little girl was acting like a completely indifferent bystander.

If William hadn't seen the true form of Krishna during the Battle of the Great Plains, and if the God of War of the Great Plains hadn't willingly become the little girl's protector, William would have suspected that the 'Great Krishna' before him was an imposter!

"Bubble isn't angry and won't clash with them, William, don't worry."

"However, Bubble still wants to sit down and have a chat with them. If everyone communicates properly, they will definitely be able to understand each other."

"..."

If someone else had said something so childish, William would have ignored it completely.

But it was Bubble who said that!

Although I couldn't understand it, I was actually against it in my heart.

But since the little girl had spoken, William had no choice but to agree.

"Leader, William will make the arrangements immediately."

"..."

William seemed hesitant to speak, but in the end, he didn't try to persuade him further.

.................................................. .......................

"The leader of the opposition is Earl Orlando. I don't have a strong impression of him; I only remember him as a low-key nobleman."

On the carriage, William revealed his intelligence: "Orlando is not good at socializing and is a typical 'lone wolf' type of lord who only cares about his own little plot of land."

"But this very person became the leader of the opposition."

"Among the dozen or so powerful figures in the opposition, who isn't more prestigious and stronger than him?"

"At first I couldn't understand it. But if they really are esoteric practitioners, then it makes sense."

"..."

"Your Majesty the Duke"

Carmen asked, "Considering the worst-case scenario, how long would it take for the Boyle and Yog families to suppress the opposition if they joined forces?"

"It's hard to say."

William sighed: "Now is a sensitive time. If we force it, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many nobles."

Hatred is not so easily erased. If the Boyle and Yog families adopt a tough stance, it can easily provoke rebellion in others.

What happened to the promise of freely joining the alliance?

What, you don't want to join, so you're going to force those who oppose you?

Are you high-ranking nobles of Saen or mere lackeys of the grasslands?

Hoping for peace? Okay, no problem, everyone hopes for peace.

But you can't do that!

So, those who are unwilling to coexist peacefully with the grasslands are going to be suppressed by you? Your stance is very problematic!

At times like these, we must be extra careful. There are countless eyes watching them secretly during this visit.

"It would be terrible to cause a backlash at a time like this. Tsk, he may be a madman, but he's a smart madman." Carmen looked like she had a headache.

"Let's all be more optimistic."

"Why do you have such a 'definitely going to fail' and 'it's going to be bad' expression before even meeting them?"

The little girl said with a smile, "Cheer up, Bubble will try her best!"

"..."

"......"

William and Carmen exchanged a glance and could only manage a wry smile.

.................................................. ...................

"Duke William, thank you for your visit, but we have nothing to discuss."

Orlando made his stance clear from the moment they met: "I don't object to your desire to mend relations with the grasslands."

"However, please respect our will!"

'trouble'

William's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put on a smile: "Your Excellency, how can we understand each other if we don't even talk?"
