Chapter 352 - 349: Thwarted Plans

Ksshhhkk!

The sound of glass breaking resounded in the room

"Why now!? Just when our plan is so near to coo through with it despite…" duke Argent Cross said angrily They finally have the warden who's overlooking grand duke Charles' food ration in the prison in their pocket All they have to do noas get rid of the man, pull his son to their side, and start the revolution

"Your grace, please do not be i for this opportunity for 3 decades, what's a feworked for e're so near" Marquess Maurelle Klaus said in a soothing voice In fact, he too was angry Not because of what happened but because of the duke's arrogance If they didn't need the duke's et rid of him first He shook his head The est pillars

"Yes, father, please quell your anger Let us listen to Marquess Klaus' idea first" Christopher said trying to calm his father Honestly, he too was annoyed Why did Geoffrey have to announce his engage to Serena in one of the balls Just a few days ago, it was all over the news, and the royal's popularity to the public again soared

Just teeks ago, the news of the war hero being thrown in prison went out, and the public's opinion about the h to spark a revolution, but surely the untirand duke inside the prison followed by the death of his son would lead to just that Well, they're not really going to kill Charlton as they needed his army on their side, but that would have been the press release that they will make

As the Marquess' brilliant plan was, they would use this chance to blarand duke, try to kill Charlton in a stage set up so that he would blae of their cause, have him lead his men to join their cause too, then bam! Revolution to overthrow the monarch

In fact, initially, it would have been easier to do that if the king sis played out, this was the next plan

Anyway, e in the plan, ill just have to delay it If we persist to do everything now, it won't be very effective The death of the grand duke would only be overshadowed by the royal wedding Charles won't be able to escape, he would still remain in prison for the next 5 years, so we can wait a little Right now, let's leave them with the false sense of security"

"You ht already be feasted on by the vultures by then" Argent exclaimed his eyes wide as saucers

Everyone in the roo iht, another 5 years was not a short ti We just need to have the "

Another reement, "the Marquess is correct Aside frorown It would not be that easy to penetrate his defenses We ht succeed to overthrow the father, but there is still the son"

"That's the problem, now that Lady Serena is to be er Lady Serena is very popular to the public, she would also be a hindrance Maybe we should just…" Another lared How dare this filthy man even utter her name?

Klaus shook his head "Are you daunted by just the addition of a ood How could we lead a revolution with that kind of criree of the crown prince is good for us With him married, he would not be able to dedicate all his ti the moves of everyone in court I sa he looked at her Like a sick puppy in love So, I say that lady Serena would be his weakness instead" Soested

Christopher noticed that too He wanted so much to twist Geoffrey's arm that laid claim to the woman he wanted Serena He has never found any wo However, it seems that she would need to marry Geoffrey first

"Anyho about Charlton's movements in the army? Does he show any form of hatred to the monarchs for the injustice?" Klaus asked

Christopher sighed He has planted spies there, and according to their report, contrary to Charlton being hateful, he was dedicated to finding the rebels and serving the crown instead However, lately, it see the days in daze A bit nonchalant, like he's looking for the hed "No According to reports, he just seeh, maybe because he couldn't make heads or tails of where to start, he seeood Based on his observations, Charlton was a steady person He was acting according to his expectations He would not act unreasonably unless there's no more option or unless his bottom line has been tested That's why he came up with this plan For him to be dedicated to the crown and later find out how they tried to get rid of his family, he was sure that he would then join the hiet hi, everyone agreed to delay their plans a little
