"It's just that solving the Lord of the Dawn has never been a problem. The problem is how to control the order of the Kingdom of Dawn. If the subsequent ruler is still the Moa family or someone who supports the royal family, then this action will not achieve its intended purpose. This is the truth. You should also know very well." Roland looked directly into Andrea's eyes, and then said, "Originally, my intervention would make this sweep justifiable, but now I am afraid that the three major families will have to come to the stage."
The reason is very simple, someone must take over the chaotic political situation in Radiance City after the fall of Amperne Moa, and the name of the King of Greycastle and the strength of the First Army are enough to deter all nobles who are just about to move, even if the Earl Quinn is the regent , will also be regarded as the spokesperson supported by the Wimbledon royal family.
But in the new plan, the main premise of Graycastle's intervention is difficult to achieve. The God's Punishment Witch itself is not a political force, so it can only be summed up in the name of the three major families, otherwise the diplomatic war will become a revenge. Sexual assassination, which Roland absolutely must avoid.
Such a plan has advantages and disadvantages for the Quinn family. The disadvantage is that it needs to be the target of public criticism. The advantage is that the prestige will increase exponentially. If he can take this opportunity to control the city of light, the spokesperson of the regent will have the opportunity to become the real new king of dawn. Considering the ability of Earl Quin himself, the benefits should far outweigh the disadvantages.
Andrea hesitated for a while, and quickly figured out the key point, "But doing this...you will get very limited benefits."
"It's better than letting Ampein continue to fight against me, no matter how bad it is, he can save Otto's life," Roland said noncommittally, "As I said at the meeting before, I won't easily give up any one for Greycastle. people who have contributed."
"I see... I understand," her expression relaxed, her eyes filled with gratitude, "Miss Edith is right, you are indeed a kind king."
"Um... what?" Roland was slightly startled, "Edith Kant? What did she say?"
"Well, she's saying the same thing as you - she knew you would help Ser Otto before you set off. In fact, if it wasn't for the persuasion of the Pearl of the North, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made a decision so quickly."
And such a thing
Roland pretended to be calm and nodded, "In this case, I will write a letter to Earl Quinn, in addition to the action steps, it also represents the covenant of Greycastle. Although most people will make The right choice, but I hope this result is 100%, so you have to follow the God's Punishment Witch to Shining City and make sure he follows the plan I said. To be honest, I trust you, not your father Quinn Earl, so you can only stay here for a while. Of course, once the problem is solved, you can also return to Neverwinter with the witches."
After letting go of her worries, Andrea regained her aristocratic elegance. She lifted the corners of her skirt and bowed slightly, "You have achieved this, so naturally I can no longer refuse. In addition, I also have a letter that I want to send to mention. Your Highness Li, please help me transfer it."
"It's just an effort," Roland responded with a smile.
After Andrea left, Nightingale frowned, "What the hell is that guy doing?"
"Are you talking about Edith?" He touched his chin, "Um... Maybe it's just a small talk about it, after all, both of them attended the decision-making meeting before the expedition. Why, can't she think of me? A benevolent person?"
"I don't think she would praise you like that even if you were the best person in the world." Nightingale shrugged, "She doesn't seem like someone who can mention kindness..."
When Roland was about to say something, the guard outside the tent opened the curtain and reported, "Your Majesty, Lord Edith Kant wants to see you."
Oh? That's kind of interesting.
He glanced at Nightingale, then promised, "Please come in."
"Yes!"
After entering the tent, Beidi Pearl simply saluted, "Your Majesty, I hope you change your mind and give up your intervention in the Kingdom of Dawn."
Roland frowned, "If you have an idea, you should bring it up directly at the meeting. Now that the decision has been made, if I go back on it, wouldn't the order be regarded as a child's play?"
"That's why I report to you separately after the meeting," Edith said slowly, "The plan can continue to be implemented, as long as a little change in the details is required—in this way, in the eyes of outsiders, you have not violated your promise. It’s just that due to some unexpected factors, the task was not realized on time.”
Hearing this, Nightingale couldn't help but show her figure, "What the hell are you thinking? First, I persuaded Andrea to ask His Majesty to help save people, and now I say don't interfere in Dawn's affairs. If there is no conspiracy, let it go. People can't believe it!"
Most people feel a little embarrassed or hesitant when contradictory remarks are exposed, but Edith was unmoved and seemed to have expected this scene. "Because the situation has changed," she said calmly. "You can tell lies, right? Then you should be able to hear that everything I say is true."
"Talk about your reasons," Roland became interested.
"The unstoppable two-sided offensive will make the whole dawn know your name, even if the Count Quinn is the regent, those commoners will know who the real master behind the scenes is. When the threat of the devil subsides, you can slowly influence the policy of the dawn. Go and even turn it into your fief. With the strength of the First Army, it only took a fraction of the effort to make this happen—but now that foundation is gone."
Edith folded her long hair, and said in an orderly manner, "The entry of the Graycastle army into the city and the coup d'état by Earl Quinn are essentially two different things. The latter will only greatly increase the prestige of the earl—whether other nobles are intimidated or surrendered, or It can be said that it has nothing to do with you."
"And then just let Ampein Moa and Graycastle become enemies?" Nightingale questioned.
"Even if His Majesty does nothing, it is difficult for him to keep the throne, at least it is impossible to call on vassals to serve him. After the Battle of the Old Holy City, An Pein no longer has enough strength and prestige to rule the kingdom. Chen Xi is very It's about to be a mess." Edith's tone was as if she was stating the facts, "In this chaos, Earl Quinn may still be in the position, but his influence will never spread across the country; if you are lucky enough , Otto Rossi can also save her life, even if not, Andrea will not blame you, because it is not your "fault", Your Majesty. ' she stressed.
It can be said that Andrea has also considered this step, which is why she hesitated to say the reminder that "the benefits you get are very limited".
Roland is also very clear about this, but rather than these gains and losses, he prefers to have a more stable ally - even if Earl Quinn did not focus on himself at first, the battle of divine will will completely eliminate the barriers between human beings. In the face of the enemy who decides the fate of civilization, it is the most important interest to fight the enemy in unison.
The Pearl of the North should not fail to see this. In his impression, Edith was by no means a short-sighted person.
If this is the case, and the other party is only blinded by the power in front of him, then he will be disappointed.
