Chapter 113

Lukav smiled and spoke, "He was most likely targetted by that Marquis and his superiors as they didn't like him sullying the name of the Royal army . So he rebelled later on . What about the assassination that is going to take place by the radiant church? It always feels good to create a wedge between Radiant church and everyone else . "

Duncan replied, "They still haven't started, they would most likely be neutralized as we already gave John the information about them . "

Lukav drank the wine Red moon as dreamed the fate of those assassins, "I wonder how John would deal with those assassins? I would like him to piss off that hack David as much as possible . "

Duncan gave his hypothesis, "That is likely possible, though John acts based on his head most of the times . However, sometimes he deals some situations with his emotions so it is likely that he may completely piss off the Radiant church . Meanwhile, there is some good news, Grandpotioneer Melanie and John have agreed our offer, Georgio has already bought some of the real estates at North-frontier city for our herbalogists, they will be researching together with Rose Institute . However, there is a small problem . "

Lukav stopped drinking and asked, "It's good that we were able to convince that old hag, What is the problem?"

Duncan frustrating spoke, "That Old hag wants us to help fix John and Eva together since John is busy these days, she hoped to break the ice on the current situation . And she specifically said to not mention this in front of any of them . "

Lukav furrowed his brows in irritation as he heard Duncan, "If it is conspiracies I can do it, How do you expect me to help her in such an abnormal situation . You and Georgio will be in charge of this shit, don't expect me to offer you help . The only advice I can give you is, increase the interactions between her Great Granddaughter, Eva and John . Just accept her condition as this will at least start our cooperation . "

Meanwhile, Lukav murmured, "As expected, that old hag is a hard nut to crack . "

Duncan sighed as he accepted the orders, "Okay, Milord . "

Duncan murmured as he accepted the order, 'I guess it all depends on you my disciple, Georgio . '

King Lionheart asked Luke, "It seems that Evan died, Do you know who might be involved? That shorty is quite enraged, and we are practically walking on egg-shells right now . "

Luke thought and said, "Well, there are many possibilities, it might be one of his brothers Ralph and Grim . Or Prince Hector or it might even be that Count as Duke Fjord had recently started harassing and targeting the Morgan family merchant ships and Evan also tried to assassinate that slaves family so I guess there are a lot of possibilities . "

Lionheart thought and asked, "Hmm . . . haven't our spies found anything?"

Luke sighed and said, "Nope . But Duke Sapphire says that this was a conspiracy done by Prince Hector, though he is not saying this openly, however, he is saying this in private conversations . "

Lionheart rebuked and spoke, "Ignore him, his interests are mixed with that count so he will obviously side with him . We will not support any side and keep a neutral point while emphasizing that this a conflict between two lords . I don't want to ruin our relations with that count until we get those blueprints . Meanwhile, make sure that Duke is happy with information so he doesn't open the eastern borders . He will pay dearly if he opens the eastern borders before we get those ballistas on all of our ships . Subtly warn him . Use the carrot and stick policy . "

Luke nodded and spoke, "Understood Milord . I will immediately relay our intentions . "

Eanred spoke in frustration, "Why can't I still predict anything about that count? Is he really from this world? The only thing I see is his face and fog in the crystal ball, nothing more . "

Luke suddenly gave his suggestion to Eanred, "Lord, why don't you try predicting the answer of this war or the fate of that Upstart's City?"

Eanred sighed and spoke, "Predicting the outcome of the war will consume a lot of energy compared to predicting the fate of a single person . However, I think I would need to bring everyone to predict what will happen in this war . "

Lionheart asked Eanred in worry as more men meant more use of resources, "Master, is the situation really so dire that we need to bring those 12 more seers?"

Eanred rebuked king and spoke, "It is always better to be cautious since we can't even predict anything about him . We should at least know what will happen in the future after this battle . Did you forget if it weren't for me and those guys we wouldn't have able to know about Lorr family's plan early on and prepared for them? If we had decided to kill the head of the Lorr Family based on the orders of the previous king and the courtiers then it would have caused a civil war and the consequences would have been terrible . This Kingdom would have segregated . "

Lionheart had chills ran through his whole body as he remembered the situation when Lorr family created that miracle sword, "Of course not, I haven't forgotten Master, I will immediately prepare all the things needed to complete the ritual and call all the seers . "

Prince Charlie commented, "It seems Evan is Dead, It looks like Lukav moved pretty fast when everyone was focused elsewhere . It's good I didn't go to Hector's party . Is there any other news?"

The knight answered, "That Count has meanwhile officially allied himself with Duke Sapphire before Evan's Assassination . It seems he already planned a lot . "

Charlie thought and said, "Hmm . . . good, keep an eye on him . He is raising a lot of waves nowadays with those new inventions and his political alliances plus his men seem interesting as well, like that slave . "

John asked Taylor, "Have you spotted those assassins from the radiant church?"

Taylor shook his head, "No, they are quite well disguised, however, we have made sure to protect all the important officials in our domain as Jake's Spy team Ghost has already near completion . We are only waiting for Jake and Dearil's arrival . Are you sure we need to believe Prince Lukav's reports?"

"Yes, he didn't seem like lying to me, it more or less seemed like he had quite a grudge with Radiant church as he was salivating at the thought of failing the Radiant church's plan . "

*****

Dearil, as usual, complained to Jake, "Did we really need to save him? he has become quite a baggage, one day's journey has become a journey of five days because you need to take care of this guy . I am going to report our current position to our hideout to Martin, okay?"

Jake nodded indicating he didn't need help right now .

Dearil spoke before leaving, "You are quite eccentric, you know? This guy helped your enemy and you still want to save his life, well anyway I am going . "

Jake murmured as Dearil left, "I guess that my instincts are telling me something else and hence I saved him . "

Dearil reported to Martin who too was currently traveling to North-frontier town because of the current situation .

"Well, we will reach the north-frontier city in a day or two . While that knight is still in a coma . "

Martin touched his chin, "Hmm . . . its good that you guys saved him, there have been new developments taking place at Eastern capital, Laguna City . You will hear about them later on because we are still unclear about it . While your letter will travel faster so you don't need to worry about delay in messages . "

Dearil nodded and said, "Ok, I will look into that, I will leave with Jake for North-frontier city while also bringing that knight . "
