”Clear blueeven in the night…”

While he felt the shaking of the carriage, Earl Zeref looked up out the

It was a beautiful s It was a perfect full moon without any cloud in the sky

Looking at such a beautiful scenery, the thing that floated inside Zeref'shis brother-in-law to abandon the Queen and flee…

However, Zeref didn't have tie in such sentiment

”After we pass thiswill be over, but the problem is Elena's aim…”

The future plan was alreadygenerally settled at Bergston's house

A them, Elena's movement as stationed on the western border was the key

In the preparation of Ortomea Edohly co ht thousand troops in total

This was the biggest force in the Rozeria Kingdom when it comes to quantity and quality

The reatly influence the future

Elena herself had various options to take Will she choose to support Lupis just like the oath of the knights should be, or will she support Gerhardt under the banner of getting rid of the foolish ruler ?

There was also an option of staying silent and watching the situation evolve

The existence of such Elena cast a shadow to Earl Bergston

(It would be great if she cooperates with us… But for now, this should be enough The story won't proceed unless we grasp each other's intentions properly The problem is…)

Although he didn't say it to Bergston, Zeref was 70 sure that his measures would turn successful

It was true that the tiarding the moment made by Gerhardt and the nobles from the vicinity

(We should have had a little bit time before the co things, or…)

Zeref knew that this rebellion was intentionally awakened by someone He also knew that the person in question had manipulated the nobles faction

But he didn't know the identity and aim of that existence

Of course, that existence being an Ortomea spy would be the most likely answer

For Ortomea Empire who tried to conquer the eastern part of the continent, dividing the Rozeria Kingdom was never a bad plan

It can even be said that everything was Orto

However, this assumption could only happen under the premise that Gerhardt had a relationshi+p with the Ortomea Empire

(Whether or not he made such a decision… Or rather, he was not a stupid person, so I guess, he ht've opened a cooperation with Orto…)

The reedy and selfish ardless of one's standing

It would depend on what kind of interest was presented, but Zeref could not iine that Gerhardt would sell the country to the Ortomea Empire It would beGerhardt

(Or was this all Gerhardt's plan ? No, that can't be…)

Next was the possibility that Gerhardt wanted the throne at all cost, but Earl Zeref thought that possibility to be low

Right now, under Lupis na the coh reasons to overthrown Lupis and set up a new dynasty, but if he failed to quell the rebellion or have another country invade, even if he gains the throne, only devastated land would be on his hand

(And no matter how much Gerhardt want to sit on the throne, he would still be viewed as usurping the throne, despite using the justification of overthrowing a foolish ruler Will he choose to bear the stigma of the usurper, a traitor to the country, or not… That would be the question… It would be a more natural course for him to take the priurehead But still, I can't deny the possibility that all this was part of his strategy… Well, in any case, it didn't answer the question of why the rebellion happened now…)

If Orto for the rebellion at the saan Since there was the possibility of military suppression if a rebellion broke out too early

And as far as Zeref analyzed it, Ortodom won't happen at least until another year

Fear that as if he was looking at the depth of abyss, total darkness, wells up inside Zeref's heart

(I would like some allies… A friend that could help me…)

It was no doubt that Bergston, his brother-in-laas a reliable ent man, when it comes to the military and political field

However, if Zeref were to be asked whether or not his brother-in-laas perfect, he would shake his head subtly

Although he had the disposition of being a wise ston was sometimes too naive and had little experience when it coence

Of course, he was a million times better than the stupid aristocrats, but one cannot say he was perfect

And right nohat Zeref need was a perfect talent

(I wonder, will that man work ?)

Floating in his ure of a man that kept silence in the far remote area in the north

The man as a commoner, an adventurer, who had the chance to becadom A man who helped Lupis take the throne despite innues

Even in the eyes of Zeref as good when it comes to sche scary

(Well, fine… Soon enough I will find out…)
