Volume 2 Chapter 30 (2/2)
”Well then! With this, I will lead the soldiers!”
Theended with Hodram uttered those words
Leaving Duke Gerhardt to sit in silence in his chair
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”I' you Sudou! I can only depend on you! Please!”
Sudou is looking at Duke Gerhardt with cold eyes
Disregarding his appearance, Duke Gerhardt clung on Sudou for help
'Kyle or Hodram huh?', that is what inside Sudou's mind
Sudou is not sure what had happened, but he can see that as the result of the , it has become clear that Duke Gerhardt has lost his faction
Understanding that Princess Lupisin, Duke Gerhardt is cornered
(This is the dole, all that remains is trash eh)
Within hisDuke Gerhardt
(Speaking of influential people, the moment a person falls frouess this is e call politics)
However, for Sudou, to achieve his nore Duke Gerhardt
At least for now
(In order to fulfill the mission from my houy, I guess I need to take a few measures huh?)
”Please rest assured Duke Gerhardt I will try to help you”
Sadou gently grasps Duke Gerhardt's hand
”Ooh! R-Really? Will you really help ht now my situation is”
His usual high handed attitude had disappeared completely
Sudou thought that he ht lick his shoes if he ordered him to
”It's alright I have a solution”
”What! You have a solution for this situation?!”
Duke Gerhardt's tone had returned to his usual in a blink of an eye revealing that the huo was nothing more than an act
However, Sudou did not care about Gerhardt's attitude
”Well, but your Excellency will have to pay all the burdens alright?”
Hearing Sudou's words Duke Gerhardt's face darkened
”Pay Is it money? Or power? It can't be, my head?”
(This bastard Even while he's in the reed?)
Sudou shook his head as he felt amazed towards the creature called nobles
”It's fine without your neck I can't do anything unless you give up all your money and power”
”Foolish!+ Then there would be no !”
”No no, that is not the case I did say to give it up, but it doesn’t ive it up so easily”
Duke Gerhardt's expression change
”What do you mean?”
”Right now, Duke Gerhardt has very little cards to play after General Hodram robbed you of your authority over the army”
”I' me!”
Hearing Sudou's words, Gerhardt raises his voice, feeling that Sudou wassalt on his wounds for his failure
”But, I can say that this can actually be considered as a stroke of good luck”
”What did you say? What does that mean?! Hodram stole my authority from me and you call that lucky?!”
”To be honest, the ene, there's no chance of winning here”
”What! You bastard!”
Gerhardt shoots his gaze toward Sudou as if trying to kill him with it
”Please listen first”
Sudou did not change his tone of voice
But it was evident that the ated
The air filled with a bloodthirst
Sadou's words immediately return Gerhardt's mind back
”S-Sorry”
Words of apology come out from Gerhardt's mouth
”Let h I'm half in doubt, it was quite a feat with how the ene hiood ”
”Information manipulation? You mean those rumors?”
”Yes The ru”
”As expected It's true huh”
Gerhardt seems to have also noticed it
”Do you think General Hodra such detailed plan? It is obvious that the enemy should still have some trump cards in his hand?”
”Really?!”
”Indeed If it was me, I would definitely have one hidden”
Gerhardt felt like the face is hidden behind the hood was laughing
”Then what are we going to do?! Should we tell Hodram about it?!”
Gerhardt’s response was one that anyone would naturally co Gerhardt’s current predica back This was so Gerhardt failed to realize
Sudou denied his proposal by shaking his head
”If we do that, it would be useless Rather than doing that, I will make use of it”
”Make use of it? What do you mean?”
”Leave it as it is, and let General Hodraainst Princess lupis”
”Such foolishness! If that were to happen then everything would be over!r!”
Although this side has Princess Ladine as justification, from Princess Lupis perspective, this is only a rebellion and since Gerhardt was the mastermind of such a rebellion, if Princess Lupis were to win the war he would without a doubt be held accountable and take responsibility for his actions thus far
Sudou shook his head once more
”That is fine We can push all responsibility to Hodram”
”What did you say?!”
”After all your leadershi+p has been taken over Thus, let's make the most out of this situation”
Gerhardt felt that a frightening smile appeared on Sudou's face
”But, is that even possible? But, the fact that I had gathered the are”
”No Indeed that is true However, we still can alleviate the responsibility Even Princess Lupis would need to execute someone as the mastermind of the civil war Normally Duke Gerhardt would be the one”
”I see! But right now Hodram is here”
”Exactly If there are two people that can be executed as the otiate for their lifen”
”But Is there so we have that will make Princess Lupis spare my life?”
'There's no way that she would spare the ht
It is probably impossible for Gerhardt to capture Hodram and present it to Princess Lupis either
Sudou keeps insisting despite Gerhardt's suffering
”You do have it no? In that dungeon”
”Dungeon? Dungeon, Dungeon!”
Toward Sudou's words, Gerhardt remembered a certain human
”But still Is it really worth that much?”
As Sudou had said Indeed it can be used as a negotiation tool but Gerhardt was doubting if it really orthy enough to make the Princess spare his life
”What are you saying Don't worry about it Princess Lupis will definitely respond to the negotiation”
Fro and he couldn’t help but nod his head while feeling anxious in the coht noas in a desperate situation and as the big battle approaches, noone would be able to foresee the outcome of it
