Now that he had decided to assassinate Marquis Aisen, White raised his head and looked at Ye Mei not far away.

Sensing White's gaze, Ye Mei immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

"You take a group of assassins secretly to the border town in the east and kill Marquis Aisen for me." White ordered.

"clear."

Ye Mei smiled slightly, took out her mask, put it on, retreated into a dark corner, and disappeared.

"Owen Eisen, it's better to let you die to save me the trouble." White muttered sinisterly.

Not long after, Earl Luther hurried to the office and anxiously reported something to White.

"Your Majesty! I just received news from the southern border."

"What?" White frowned slightly, "Did the Second Queen send troops again?"

"Not yet, but it's more serious than this."

Earl Luther opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, fearing that White would be furious if he spoke out.

"Tell me, what's going on?" White urged.

"that……"

After quickly sorting out the information in his mind, Earl Luther replied: "Your Majesty, on the day of your enthronement ceremony, the second princess, Her Royal Highness Trieste Wells, unilaterally declared in Roar City that the Southern Territory would break away from the Kingdom of Dawn and prepare for independence.

Found the country and proclaimed herself Queen of Moonlight."

"What?!"

Hearing this, White slammed the table, the anger on his face clearly visible.

The Kingdom of Dawn has existed for hundreds of years, its territory has continued to expand, and it has never been divided.

As the orthodox king, White would never allow the kingdom to split into two countries in his own hands.

What's more, Triest announced her title of king on the same day she ascended the throne, which was obviously a provocative act.

"Your Majesty, please calm down and be careful not to injure yourself." Earl Luther warned carefully.

"How can this possibly appease anger?!"

White stood up from his seat and said angrily: "It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how can one country tolerate two monarchs? Sister Wang, you have really angered me."

Immediately afterwards, he asked Earl Luther: "When will the reinforcements from the north and the west arrive at the royal capital?"

"Probably... we can arrive within these two days." Earl Luther replied.

"Okay." A sharp light flashed in White's eyes, "In three days, I will personally lead the coalition army south to attack the Roaring City."

…

The Holy Theocracy of Caleb, Holy City, Central Cathedral.

A secret meeting was being held in the central hall, with only four participants - the current Pope Laev XXIII and three cardinals.

"His Majesty the Pope."

Cardinal Terembe stood up and saluted respectfully, and then reported: "There is a strange rumor spreading widely in the Kingdom of Dawn recently, saying that the lord of Border Guard Town, Marquis Owen Eisen, has royal blood and is the descendant of the late old king.

illegitimate child."

"It's just a rumor, and you summoned us for this?" Cardinal Lemy seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Lemy, that is not an ordinary rumor, but someone premeditated to spread it." Telembe explained, "Otherwise, this rumor would not have spread throughout the kingdom so quickly."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Freya Lutis was immediately curious.

"You mean, someone wants to frame the Marquis of Essen?"

"That's right." Terenbei nodded, "Because Border Guard Town is an important partner for us, I asked His Majesty the Pope to convene everyone to discuss this matter."

"Since it is a rumor, wouldn't it be self-defeating as long as it is proved to be false?" Lemy said indifferently.

"It may not be that simple."

Terembe took out a letter from his pocket. It was a letter sent by Bishop Flynn. It was written on paper that was a specialty of Border Guard Town.

The Holy Kingdom of Caleb has already purchased a batch of paper through trade. Everyone present has seen and used it, and they don't find it strange.

"I just received a letter from Border Guard Town. The letter said that the Marquis of Essen failed to comply with the new king's order, so Duke Eddie of Dongsheng Fortress had to send troops to Border Guard Town to capture him."

The letter was first given to the Pope to read before being passed on to two other people for review.

Lemi was the last one to get the letter. After reading it, he worriedly said: "Isn't the garrison over there now..."

"Bianzhu Town will definitely be fine."

Freya was not worried at all, and said with a smile: "Have we not seen the power of muskets? What's more, there are enlarged versions of muskets, which seem to be called artillery. Therefore, I think Dongsheng Fortress should not be a border guard town.

opponent."

"makes sense."

Hearing what Freya said, Lemy felt a little relieved.

Border Guard Town is currently the only place where the demihuman race can coexist peacefully. Not only Lemi, but all the new-school people do not want such a place that conforms to their ideals to be destroyed.

"That's it. If the rumors are false, why doesn't Marquis Essen dare to go to the royal capital to meet the new king?"

Talembe reached out and touched his chin, and speculated: "In my opinion, the identity of the previous king's illegitimate son is most likely true."

"There is indeed a high possibility." Layev XXIII agreed.

"The new king, White Wells, will definitely not let go of Marquis Eisen of Border Guard Town easily. The question now is, should we, the Lummicile Cult, step in to protect him?"

Terembe immediately raised the issue.

The fact that Border Guard Town is able to accept the demi-human race is undoubtedly due to Owen. If other nobles were replaced, it is very likely that all the demi-human races in the town will be driven out, and the relationship between the two parties will become bad again.

"of course yes!"

Lemy stepped forward and suggested to Laev XXIII: "His Majesty the Pope, Marquis Aisen is a key figure in realizing our ideals. We must not let anything happen to him."

After a pause, he continued: "If Marquis Aisen really has royal blood, we might as well help him become the next king. This will also facilitate exchanges and cooperation between the two countries and realize the great vision of racial equality as soon as possible."

"Um……"

King Laev XXIII pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "We should not interfere in other countries' internal affairs at will. The current situation in the Kingdom of Morning Light is not stable. The second princess Trieste Wells has become the king in the south. Civil war is not possible.

Avoid it. If other countries get involved, it will only make the situation more complicated."

"His Majesty the Pope."

At this time, Freya also stood up and suggested: "I also think we should protect Marquis Aisen, but we only need to send our strongest knight to protect him from assassination."

"Reason?" Terembe asked.

"Do you still remember those nobles who died tragically at home in the Western Region of the Kingdom of Dawn?" Freya asked in return.
