My queen always makes my survival more difficult

"Do you believe me when I tell you I'm telepathic?"

"Ok!"

Don't believe it, I just saw your rabbit ears.

"Why are you here? Aren't you with Noelle?"

"Queen Norel said that if I wasn't here, Lord Noxu would have to sit here for another day without eating lunch, so she asked me to stay and take care of Lord Noxu. But Lord Noxu planned to work for a while, so I won't disturb you."

Although the relationship is much better than before, after all, the strategy has been completed, and the favorability has been maintained at a qualified number. After all, that day was a special case, and now it is just returning to the past.

This cheating behavior also brings me a lot of benefits. At least I can find loopholes in many places.

"Ailuo, do you want to try your hand at handling government affairs?"

"Do not"

Elolinewei shook her head bluntly.

"Why?"

"Because it's not a good thing. I know what government affairs are like, and Lord Noxiu doesn't want me to get involved in these things."

"That's right"

But if this goes on, I will be really alone. I can't count on Lenora, I don't know the others, and Edith is now both an enemy and a friend. I don't know who I can rely on.

It will start in the afternoon and implement the new policy...

trouble...

Chapter 197 Answer

"Lady Edith, Prince Devia is visiting."

"Devia?"

Edith knew that this person would come to her at this time. She had a premonition before, but she didn't expect him to come so soon.

"Besides Prince Devia, several other large families are here too. Should we let them in?"

Edith thought about it and nodded. She would have to face these people sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. Since they were here, there was no reason for her not to see them.

After a while, Devia and several other people came hurriedly. Edith asked Nadia to prepare tea and snacks, so Edith was the only one in the whole garden.

"Master Edith, don't you plan to take care of this matter? We are all on your side, Master Edith."

The answer was made clear in one sentence. Edith glanced at the people present. These people were all from Edith's faction, including people from several other families who came today. After all, what happened this morning was inevitable.

"What are you going to ask me to do?"

"Lady Edith, Norelle is only doing this to weaken our power, not for the Kingdom of Edvira. From the founding of the Kingdom of Edvira until now, our twelve families have always been on equal footing with the Tilinger family. Now Norelle's actions undoubtedly declare that the Tilinger family will dominate from now on!"

"That's right. Even as a member of the Tilinger family, I cannot accept this. The Kingdom of Edvira wasn't built by the Tilinger family alone. It belongs to everyone. I cannot accept this. So, Lady Edith, please be fair and don't let Norelle be so presumptuous!"

"Please sit down first, have some tea and then we can talk."

At this time, Nadia came with her maid and quickly served tea and snacks. Everyone else also sat down.

Edith glanced at the people present. These people were the ones who knew about the incident but did not tell her, except for Devia, of course. Edith knew very well that although it was a deliberate arrangement by Queen Meryl, it also showed that these people were unfaithful to her. This was a fact, and these people only needed her at this time. However, Edith had to admit that she had to rely on these people at other times. So, whether to abandon these people or continue to use them was a very difficult choice for Edith.

After drinking a sip of tea, Edith's continued silence made everyone present feel a little uncomfortable. After all, if Edith didn't speak, they didn't know what to say, so at this time everyone hoped that Edith could say something and not remain silent.

"Mrs. Edith, are you not going to take care of this matter?"

Devia asked the question in her mind, and Edith smiled meaningfully. In a sense, she really didn't want to get involved in this matter. Although the actions of those two people threatened her interests, there was one thing she would never deny. Their three decrees were actually useful to the Kingdom of Edvira and would never harm the Kingdom of Edvira. If the Kingdom of Edvira did not have these twelve families, as long as those decrees were issued, it would definitely make the Kingdom of Edvira stronger.

Edith already had an answer in her heart as to whether her own interests were more important or the Kingdom of Edvira was more important.

Chapter 198 Edith's Trick

"Mrs. Edith, please speak frankly."

"I'm sorry, I haven't reached a conclusion on this matter yet. I don't think I can give you an accurate answer right now. After all, I'm involved in this, right? Lord Devia, you're a member of the Tilinger family. By doing this, aren't you chilling the Tilinger family?"

"I told you, this is Norelle's fault. Since she did something wrong, I will cover it up and stand up to stop it."

"You're just trying to protect your own interests, and so are everyone here. You came to me just to protect your own interests. Are you really considering the Kingdom of Edvira? Although I'm also very dissatisfied with Noelle's behavior, there's one thing I'm sure of: those two people are not wrong. The current situation in the Kingdom of Edvira is that it has to face several major enemies, but its supplies are not sufficient. Much of the land is controlled by the nobles, yet it's been left to waste. If it were me, I would do the same as Noelle. Have those lands been effectively utilized by you?"

"But, isn't that so-called Enfeoffment Order just hoping to disintegrate us bit by bit? Even if our descendants are all nobles, they won't get any land. What should we do? The family is constantly splitting apart! This is Norelle's conspiracy!"

"How big is the Kingdom of Edvira? I'd like to ask you, besides the royal city, which piece of land belongs to the Tilinger family? The Tilinger family has never wronged you. Sometimes, don't be too greedy. If the Kingdom of Edvira is destroyed, it will not be good for you at all."

"Master Edith, are you planning to side with them?"

Edith smiled and said, "That's not the case. I'm just teaching you how to survive. If you don't understand, there's nothing I can do. For me, the Kingdom of Edvira is above all else. If I have to choose between profit and the Kingdom of Edvira, I will definitely choose the Kingdom of Edvira."

Edith actually wasn't like that, she was just provoking these people. That's right, these people wouldn't know how to restrain themselves unless they suffered a little. Edith had seen all these years, and she knew very well what these people were doing. The more this happened, the more she couldn't let these people do whatever they wanted.

Although this is about interests, above that is the safety and peace of the entire Kingdom of Edvira. If she has to choose, Edith will only choose the Kingdom of Edvira. After all, that is what she desires in her heart.

"I finally understand. Lady Edith has sided with them, right? It seems Lady Edith no longer wants to maintain our direct alliance."

"Prince Devia, if the Kingdom of Edvira is destroyed, where will you go?"

"As long as we are in the Kingdom of Edvira, nothing will happen!"

Edith didn't smile and had no expression. In her heart, this man was just a good-for-nothing. His existence could only serve to restrain Noelle. Now that Zack was dead and Noxiu was out, he was no longer of any use. Even the power in his hands had been taken away. There was no value in listening to the words of a good-for-nothing.

"Then I will tell you a countermeasure. If you can execute it successfully, then you can rest assured. Before, I didn't know who sent the assassin to assassinate Noelle, but now I can. Once Noelle is dead, you won't have anything to worry about, right?"

Chapter 199: Intrigue

"This... Lady Edith, are you serious?"

"Yes, if you dare, then the future Kingdom of Edvira will no longer be just in the hands of the Tilinger family. If you don't dare, even if you come to me, what can I do for you? Or are you just planning to push all the troubles onto me?"

Although Edith was smiling, everyone present understood what that smile represented. If one was too greedy, it would only bring bad consequences. They all knew very well that no one could threaten Edith to do anything she didn't want to do.

"Everyone, this is the only way out. Whether you are willing to do it or not, Norelle has not really threatened your life and power yet. Don't forget what the original covenant of the twelve families was. Only when the Tilinger family threatens your life and power can the twelve families unite to destroy the Tilinger family."

"this..."

"Now, Noelle has only taken back the land you didn't want, and even made all your descendants nobles. She hasn't violated the covenant. Even if you want to use my power to fight Noelle, do I look so foolish?"

The cold tone made everyone feel a chill down their spines. They knew what Edith was like. Such a tone represented her anger. If they continued to speak, no one would be happy.

Only by uniting around Edith can the highest power be obtained. This form has now been broken by Edith herself, just like she willingly broke the empire she built.

"We understand. We will consider this matter. Lady Edith, we are sorry to bother you. We will leave now. Please have a good rest, Lady Edith."

Devia knew that this would not work. Edith obviously did not want to get involved in this mess. It was time for him to make a move. Edith had rejected everyone, and this was his best chance. As long as he could win over these people, he would not be afraid of not being able to compete with Edith or Norelle. He might even be able to take advantage of this chaos and be crowned king. By then, these people...

Edith noticed Devia's eyes and sneered. This man always thought about power. Although he was not that stupid, he did not consider the consequences when doing things. This was indeed a great opportunity. Could it be that Devia was the only one who thought of this opportunity?

Edith was not in a hurry. She would watch these people's performance quietly. This time, perhaps it was her biggest gamble. Noxu was right. She cared about the Kingdom of Edvira more than anyone else. If those two people were more powerful, or if the power was more concentrated in one person.

Only then will she be able to enjoy the most perfect victory. This is not arrogance or pride. Edith firmly believes that she will win, and she has never underestimated anyone. Even Noelle, she is always paying attention to her.

"Sister, sometimes I really don't understand your thoughts. Why do you want to help these people? They are obviously worthless and have no value at all."

"Nadia, sometimes, watching a show can actually give you the greatest power. If a lion and a tiger start fighting, shouldn't I stop them? By watching them fight, I can effortlessly gain the benefits I want, right?"

Chapter 200 Ready to go

"Have those people started to act?"

"Well, they've all started to feel uneasy. Ever since they left Edith's mansion and started working as professionals, they've been very uneasy. So I wonder if Edith said something to them. Now that the plan has been implemented, we can't predict what they'll do next. At least for now, Edith shouldn't be involved."

"Brother, are you so sure?"

I nodded. It seemed that those people got some answers from Edith and started to get restless. Edith knew what we were going to do. If she really wanted to ruin our plan, she would never do that, so I guess her purpose must be other.

These people began to get restless, but Edith just watched from the sidelines without making any movement. She even sent someone to deliver a letter to me, asking me to be prepared.

This girl wants to take advantage of the conflict between the two sides. She should be stirring up those people's resistance to us, but she herself doesn't intend to do anything. That's what I think, so we need to prepare.

"Norel, if it were you, what would you do now? Of course, I mean doing it from Edith's perspective."

"If it were me, I would probably choose to wait and see. With Edith's abilities, even if she doesn't participate, she won't be in trouble because of the other side's victory. So, if I were Edith, I would incite those people to deal with me, while I would wait and see, waiting for the opportunity to take action."

"Yes, Edith would definitely do that. That guy would definitely betray others for his own benefit and would show no mercy."

"Shouldn't we prepare? If Edith takes action, we have to take action too."

I shook my head. Actually, Edith would not do anything to us so soon. I think she is planning to wait for an opportunity before taking action. So we should face those unstable people first. Those unstable people are our biggest enemies now. Edith is at least considering Edvira, so it will not be a big deal if we ignore her for the time being.

But there's also the possibility that she might bite us to death, so no matter what, we have to be careful, but...

Is Edith helping us or screwing us?

She must have instigated those people. I don't understand why she did this. Was it for the Kingdom of Edvira or for herself?

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. But if we defeat the other party, the result may really be that Noelle will control the overall situation. Is she so confident that nothing will happen to her?

"Norel, you're right. Let's keep an eye on that person. I always feel like there's something fishy about this matter. After all, Edith isn't someone who's easy to deal with."

"I actually secretly arranged for someone to do this, but Edith hasn't made any moves since then."

"Maybe she discovered you. Her scout team is much stronger than yours. That woman always wants to know what's happening in the Kingdom of Edvira. So, there's no need for you to monitor her. It's useless. This will only tell her what she should do. I think I understand what that woman is planning to do."

"elder brother?"

Edith's idea was obvious, and I already knew what to do.

"Norel, the plan is still in place. There's no need to change it!"

Chapter 201 Eve

"call..."

I sighed and finally finished today's work. Today's work was much more than usual, mostly because those people from the twelve families refused to hand over the land. I also have to thank Lenora. If she hadn't used tough means to snatch it away by force this time, I would not have been able to solve this problem.

Sometimes her bad temper is really useful, and it is she who offends people instead of me, which actually reduces the danger for me.

However, the undercurrent has been turbulent recently. The more high-pressure measures are used, the more those people are forced to stand up and resist. However, so far, those people have not been forced to completely resist, and they are still waiting for an opportunity.

Who will get this opportunity?

I just can't figure it out. Edith has already stated that she won't interfere in this matter. So who among the remaining people can lead those people?

Devia? Or some other big families?

If Edith did not intervene, those people actually did not have much cohesion and were just a group of loose sand. At this time, if someone stood up and raised their arms, many people would respond. However, no one has stood up so far and everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

"tsk"

"Lord Noxu, why are you still here so late? Her Majesty the Queen asked me to come find you."

The quiet office was broken by the intrusion of Ai Luolinwei. Only then did I realize that it was already dark outside. It had become dark without me noticing, and I had been sitting here in a daze?

Fortunately, all the documents in hand have been dealt with, and it is almost time to go back.

"Well, now that we have finished all the things we have on hand, let's go together."

"Um"

Ai Luolinwei nodded, and after walking out, it was really completely dark outside. The weather was bad today, and the whole sky was covered with dark clouds, but it didn't look like it was going to rain. It was just that the dark clouds were constantly pressing. Even if there were twelve moons in this world, tonight would still be a dark night.

"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is full of murder and arson?"

"What are you talking about, Lord Noshu?"

"Well, it's nothing, I just got emotional when I saw the scenery. There's rarely weather like this in this world. The whole sky is squeezed by dark clouds, and you can't see the moon. But this world has twelve moons."

"Lord Noxu always says strange things."

"Well, in my opinion, a night like this is the most suitable for assassination, because it is very dark, and there are no lights in this world. At night, we can only rely on candles. The darker it is, the more suitable it is for doing some strange things, all kinds of things..."

"Hmm...So I don't understand what Lord Noshu said at all."

"There's no need to understand. It's not a good thing anyway. Elolinewei, let's go."

I don't know why, but I always feel that a night like this is a very good night. If I were those people, I would probably take advantage of the moonlight tonight to assassinate Noelle...

I don’t know why, but at that moment I felt a chill. I never thought I was that smart. I thought that if I could think of it, others would be able to think of it too!

"No, we have to go back quickly."

"Why!?"

I picked up Ai Luolinwei. I always felt that something was going to happen to Nole's side. I had a very bad premonition. I had to go back!

Chapter 202 Breaking in

"Lord Noshu? What are we doing?"

Ai Luolinwei was so shy when being held by the princess. Although she didn't know what Noxu was going to do, she was afraid that Her Majesty the Queen would see it and she didn't know what would happen.
