Chapter 269 119 The Third Prince's Conspiracy

Chapter 269 -119- The Conspiracy of the Third Prince

The transcript provided by Viscount Roman-Ford was from a violet underground black market merchant.

They attacked the other party's merchant ship, looted the other party's warehouse, and captured the other party for interrogation to obtain these information.

Pure pirate methods.

The content of the transcript is also very rich, involving some underground transactions between the Violet Principality and the Borde Principality, and the content of the transaction is almost all food supplies, extraordinary materials, weapons and equipment and other war supplies.

In addition, the transaction content also involves the distribution of some industries in Castel Territory, including the content of Castel Mithril Mine.

In the second half of the entire transcript, the provider of the transcript confessed the cooperation plan between the Violet Principality and the Borde Principality. The two principalities will join forces to cooperate with the rebels to deal with Castel Territory and divide the entire North.

Not only that, even the Earl of Castel, the Lord Charlotte, has corresponding treatment.

The request from the Bolder side is to catch her alive as much as possible. If she falls into the hands of Violet, they must send her to the third prince Philip.

If the person who provided the transcript was just an ordinary black market merchant, it would be fine, and people would only feel that the content was simply whimsical.

But the person who provided the transcript was not only a black market merchant, but also a direct descendant of the current ruling family of the Violet Principality, who was specifically responsible for the communication and exchanges of underground trade between the two principalities.

In addition, at the end of the transcript, Viscount Roman-For even attached a lot of Roman-For family investigation materials, including the recent fleet movement of the Violet Principality and the price changes of war materials in the coastal ports of the two principalities.

All the information shows that the two principalities are indeed preparing for something big.

"Sir Viscount Roman-For, this transcript is so detailed, the source should not be as simple as you said?"

Charlotte asked, picking up the parchment roll and browsing it again.

Viscount Roman-Fore bowed respectfully:

"Lord Earl, you can rest assured about this. We are very professional in this matter. When we attacked, we did not fly the flag of Castel, but changed to the privateering flag of the Falling Star Kingdom, leaving no handle."

Charlotte:...

"I don't want to ask this, but where did you get the initial information from?"

She asked, resisting the urge to complain.

The old viscount replied:

"Lord Earl, the reason why we were able to get the news and ambush and attack the other party's merchant ships in advance was because of the intelligence within the Kingdom Navy..."

"Count Ville, the commander of the Kingdom Navy's Star-Moon Strait Fleet, and I have an old relationship. He told me all this information."

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Count Ville?"

"The royal court earl and the previous royal court teacher."

Viscount Roman-Fore said.

"Court teacher? The second prince's man?"

Charlotte paused slightly with the half-raised teacup in her hand.

Viscount Roman-Fore bowed slightly to indicate his consent.

Charlotte suddenly felt a headache.

As a small earl, she had no interest or idea to get involved in the royal disputes.

However, the innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. Castel's position in Boulder and even in Xinyue is too special.

Now it seems that perhaps from the moment she inherited the rich territory, she was destined to step into the vortex of disputes.

"No wonder Viscount Remigio hinted that I should be careful of the third prince. Perhaps... he had already received some information."

Charlotte thought to herself.

After a brief thought, she looked at Viscount Roman-Fore, with a faint light flashing in her azure eyes:

"Sir Roman-Fore, the information you brought is very crucial. Next, the Roman-Fore family will cooperate with me, Castel, to deal with the rebellion and possible invasion."

Viscount Roman-Fore knelt on one knee tremblingly and performed an ancient Northern submission ceremony:

"Of course, the Roman-Fore family will always stand with you and obey your orders."

Looking at Viscount Roman-Fore's submission ceremony, which was obviously in the style of Falling Star and seemed to have a certain meaning, Charlotte was thoughtful.

Viscount Roman-Fore left the tied-up Boerde envoy and the transcript and left.

Before leaving, the old viscount said that he would stay in North Port until the rebellion was quelled and wait for orders at any time, and the Roman-Fore family's privateer fleet would continue to swim in the strait as always, collecting various intelligence.

The Boerde envoy was already scared.

This unlucky guy obviously didn't know these secret messages, and really just thought he was showing goodwill on behalf of Bold.

Charlotte didn't even look at him, and left him aside.

Sebastian released a magic barrier that blocked sound, isolating himself from Charlotte, and then said in a deep voice:

"Master, if the Violet Principality also joins the war, we will be in real trouble. Although the Violet Principality is poor, decades of Star-Moon War have cultivated a powerful army... As far as I know, they have at least an elite standing force of more than 5,000 people, which is a huge threat even if they are not recruited and mobilized."

"There are rebels in the north, the Bold garrison in the middle that may launch a sneak attack at any time, and the Violet Principality in the south that is ready to move. Our current situation can no longer be simply described as being attacked from both sides."

"In addition, the participation of the duchy-level lords in the war is almost inevitable with the participation of Chiyang. Even if they are restricted and cannot directly participate in the frontal battlefield, there are still many loopholes to exploit, which will inevitably bring pressure to us."

"If we still have to deal with it with conventional means within the scope of secular rules, we... I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and she looked at him:

"Do you want to suggest that I use super-standard power?"

Sebastian bowed slightly to show his agreement.

Charlotte thought for a moment and said:

"This is an era that emphasizes rules. Even I, before I have an absolute advantage, must be cautious and careful to deal with those who make the rules behind the rules..."

"The same is true for the rules of war. After thousands of years of development, the world of Miria has long formed its own set of war rules."

"Below the myth, each level of power has its own position and restrictions. For example, the Blazing Sun cannot actively intervene in the low-level battlefield; for example, the extraordinary cannot slaughter mortals; for example, many magics of the dark, undead, and spiritual types are listed as taboos..."

At this point, Charlotte chuckled again:

"However, you are right. When some people are ready to break the rules, I don’t need to continue using conventional means within the rules, not to mention... the other party is a destined enemy."

After speaking, Charlotte walked out of the sound barrier and came to the trembling messenger.

After a flash of scarlet light in her pupils, she said lightly:

"Your Excellency the Envoy, I have a question to ask. What will happen if I agree to your proposal?"

"No... I don't know anything! I'm just an envoy... just an envoy..."

The envoy trembled, obviously frightened.

Charlotte frowned slightly.

She smiled slightly, released spiritual comfort, and said gently with charming words:

"Tell me, okay?"

Under the effect of magic, the envoy gradually calmed down. He looked a little dazed, and then answered with obsession:

"Lord... Lord Gaston said that if you agree to the proposal, he will invite you to choose a place between the Tulip Earldom and North Port to meet and discuss the rebellion together."

"Gaston? Count Gaston?"

Charlotte's heart moved slightly, and her mind sketched an old face that she had met at the birthday dinner of Duke Boulder.

She had a deep impression of him because his son Jordan died at the hands of the undead she awakened because of attending the Drunken Dream Salon.

Thinking of this, Charlotte turned around, smiled at Sebastian, and said:

"Sebastian, it seems that the commander of the Boulder garrison is an old acquaintance of ours."

After that, she turned to look at the dazed messenger, her blue eyes completely turned crimson:

"Go back and tell Mr. Gaston that I accept his proposal, his invitation... I will participate."
