On the carriage, Zanuck had been thinking about this matter. Lana's method could indeed wipe out the aristocratic faction in the country in one fell swoop, but if it really happened, what would happen to the future of the kingdom?
Will it also become a subsidiary like the Empire?
Becoming a vassal of that kind of country of the undead...it's scary to think about.
But if we miss this opportunity, the Royal Faction will not be able to compete with the Noble Faction with the current strength of the Royal Faction. Moreover, the Kaz Plain is now the territory of the Sorcerous Kingdom.
That means that the war between the kingdom and the empire can no longer continue. Now that the eldest prince who has been supported by the noble faction is dead, and the war on the Kaz Plains has not been fought over the years, the noble faction has enough
Raise the flag of rebellion and directly oust the royal family... This is really a dilemma.
After a long time, the carriage stopped at the residence of Lord Raiven. Zanak ignored the etiquette of letting Lord Raiven's family come out to welcome him, and went to knock on the door. When the attendants at the residence of Raiven saw the knock on the door, it turned out to be two people knocking on the door.
When the prince came, he was frightened.
He opened the door to let the second prince Zanak in, and at the same time sent someone to notify his master...
At this time, Lei Wenhou was teaching his precious son to read and read in the study. When he heard the announcement from his entourage, his happy smiling face was instantly covered with gloom, but sooner or later, people would come to his door.
I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly, so I had no choice but to give up.
"Marquis Lei Wen!!!" When the second prince Zanak broke into Marquis Lei Wen's study, he saw only Marquis Lei Wen standing in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back...
"Is it finally here? Prince Zanak." Lei Wenhou looked back very melancholy, with no intention of performing any courtesy as a monarch or a minister.
"Mr. Lei Wen! Listen to me..." Prince Zanak came over in a hurry, wanting to negotiate with Lana. No... to be precise, it was a plan made by Lana alone, telling him
To Lei Wenhou, I want Lei Wenhou to think of a solution for him.
"Prince Zanak, don't be impatient... let's take a sip of tea and calm down first!" Hou Lei Wen pointed to the coffee table beside him, where two cups of hot tea were already placed.
"Marquis Lei Wen, did you know I would come?" Zanak, who had calmed down a little, noticed that what Marquis Lei Wen had just said was finally coming.
"When the news began to spread that Princess Elizabeth of the Sorcerous Kingdom was missing in our country, I knew you would come to find me." Ravenhou first sat in front of the coffee table, and then stretched out his hand to motion for Zanuck to sit with him.
"Do you also know about this..." Zanuck was slightly surprised after hearing this.
"Although I don't care about it anymore, it's hard not to know about the news that has spread so much!" Lei Wenhou said.
"This matter will be easier to handle if you know, then..." Before Zanuck could finish speaking, Lei Wenhou raised his hand to signal Zanuck to stop talking, then stood up and walked over to him
He picked up a report from his desk, walked over and handed it to Zanuck.
"This is...the material export record? These? Are they the export records of Lord Brumusura? There are also those of Lintonbo? These..." Zanak's eyes widened after reading the report handed over by Lord Raven.
He looked at Lei Wenhou in complete disbelief.
"Prince Zanak, you should need these, right? But judging from the current situation, even with these evidences, we can't do anything to them." Rai Wenhou had to say with a wry smile.
"It turns out, Lord Raven, you...have not given up on us!" Zanuck couldn't help but feel happy. After the battle on the Kaz Plains, Lord Raven directly announced his retirement, which made Zanuck very sad at the time.
"Your Highness, you may have misunderstood something. I have retired and this report was only collected accidentally." Lei Wenhou said.
However, when Zanuck saw Raiven Hou's meaningful smile, he basically understood what was going on. Raiven Hou's announcement of retirement was just a cover-up.
During the Battle of Kaz Plains, the royal family's reputation outside the party plummeted. If it weren't for Gazef's personal sacrifice and fear of the Sorcerous Kingdom, the noble faction would have rebelled long ago.
However, as a seemingly passive person, Hou Lei Wen must choose to take sides at this time. If he does not express his attitude at this time, Hou Lei Wen may not be able to protect himself.
So he announced his retirement on the surface in order to protect himself, and then secretly connected with the noble faction to obtain information from them. In fact, Lord Raiven still stood on the side of the royal family.
"Haha... I haven't encountered anything that went well today. This is the happiest day for me today... no, only since the battle on the Kaz Plains until today." Zanak said.
"But prince, don't be too happy too early. It's useless to have these. We don't have the capital to fight with them. Although we can indeed deal a blow to them when they transfer their assets externally, but...
Even so, the troops we have are still far behind compared to theirs, and... there is also the Sorcerer Kingdom, which is eyeing us from behind. The disappearance of the princess may be a signal to start war, otherwise Bromusura will
They won't be able to sit still." Lei Wenhou smiled and said.
After all, if a country like that invades... the fate of waiting for the kingdom is to be destroyed, it's time... Let alone purging the inside, they are attacking at the doorstep, even if they can be purged, there is no point.
"Mr. Raven also thinks that the disappearance of Princess Elizabeth is a sign that the Sorcerer Kingdom is looking for an excuse to start a war against us?" Zanuck said.
"Isn't it?" Lei Wenhou was very surprised when he saw Zanuck's proud smile.
"Actually, that's not the case... Listen to me, Lord Lei Wen... This is why I came to you this time." Zanuck explained Lana's plan in great detail, exactly as it was with Lei Wen.
Marquis Wen said, including the destruction of the Dragon King and Princess Elizabeth... they were also explained clearly.
"I see... You want to use this monster invasion to request alliance assistance from the Sorcerous Kingdom, seek their protection and assistance, and then use the rights and interests that should be the aristocratic faction as this time.
Will the alliance's bargaining chips be given to the Sorcerer Kingdom to achieve the goal of significantly weakening the noble faction?" Lord Raven thought for a while and asked after hearing this.
"That's probably what it means." Zanuck picked up the teacup and took a sip. His mouth was really dry after talking a lot just now.
"How do I feel... Princess Lana's plan is full of loopholes? Let's not talk about Princess Elizabeth's problem. Even if we follow your plan, it is difficult to say that the problem can be solved. Let's not talk about anything else. She holds most of the military power.
