Nedis was calm as she continued, ”We came to you, naturally it is from your brother’s instructions Do you knohy your brother wants us to kidnap you but not kill you?”
Yukinari shook his head and replied, ”I do not know”
Rody laughed bitterly in his heart ‘It is not just you I also do not know!’
Nedis' eyes flickered isdom as she said, ”Your brother wants us to kidnap you and pretend to be your follower After that, ill assassinate your father, the Shogun”
”Huh?” Yukinari and the old sorcerer exclaimed
When the old sorcerer exclaimed, he immediately and instinctively covered his lared at Sith She then casually looked back at Yukinari
Yukinari had an angry expression and did not notice the old sorcerer losing control of his! Is he not afraid? Does he think he can escape froe?”
Nedis showed a co master You still have not understood it! We are ordered to pretend as your followers! After killing the Shogun, ould naturally run away Who do you think would take the bla hier compete for the inheritance then” She then purposely looked at hihtful eyes
Yukinari broke out in cold sweat He was silent for so, ”Too despicable! Too shalared at Nedis His eyes seemed to say, ”You are also despicable and shameless”
Nedis quickly shot Rody a disdainful look She looked at the distracted Yukinari and asked, ”What are you going to do next?”
Yukinari suddenly stood up forgetting he was inside a carriage His head sla hirasped his head and sat down He then angrily said, ”I want to immediately return to the capital and tell my father! I want to expose my brother’s trick Hmph! He is not my brother He is just a bastard!”
Nedis shook her head She sighed and said, ”Your thoughts are too si time What makes you think you can just report it? Think for a moment He would deny it, and you have no evidence!”
Yukinari looked into Nedis’ eyes She immediately said, ”We obviously cannot testify for you! Even if ent, he can conorance At that tis clearly when he accuses you of defah he does not believe it, Nedis rolled his eyes and coldly said, ”You don’t believe ht Then let me ask you Do you know about the war in the South?”
”I know” Yukinari replied, ”I went to the River Ho that Yukinari did not need to continue She coldly asked, ”The Roland Continent has not fought against the Hakone Kingdom for many years Do you knohy they chose to attack now?”
Nedis deliberately stared at Yukinari Without waiting for him to reply, she said, ”The Roland army has invaded the territory and now they have easily conquered the South Do you knohy?”
Yukinari’s expression changed a few times He then asked, ”What does this have to do with runted and then said, ”I aain in this war? Is he assigned with military powers?”
”Yes” Yukinari nodded ”My father has appointed hiain stopped Yukinari She then quickly said, ”During peacetiive the ins, even if he has to give away military power, he would prioritize his son! That is the only way he could be assured! So, letto do with your brother?”
Yukinari’s mouth opened wide He took a deep breath and asked, ”Could it be thatwith the enemy?”
”Yes!” Nedis nodded and also looked at Yukinari with eyes of syht in front of you…” The wo conclusive evidence ”Your brother gains thethis opportunity to obtain ht now is unfavorable to you as your brother sold the ence Let me tell you In a few days, your brother will ask to take the initiative and lead on the frontlines! At that tireement and withdraw the troops! As a result, your brother would not only obtain e At that time, no matter what your father does, he would already be the successor!”
Yukinari became dejected and became weak in his chair His dispiritedly and helplessly said, ”Then…I have no way left?”
Nedis i bad wolf looking at a little rabbit She said, ”Young Master Yukinari, since I have told you about this, it naturally means that I have decided to help you I also think that your brother’s way of doing things is too ruthless Working with him makes me feel worried…We work for profit I can see you are not so bad which is why I told you about this If you want to challenge your brother, we must first see how you are superior to your brother”
Without batting an eyelid, Nedis said ‘we’ and thus had made themselves the same side as Yukinari's
Yukinari was not a co for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, ”Yes My brother is more superior than unate The commanders all like him! With their support, he is definitely very influential in theskills are also superior!”
When Nedis saw Yukinari beco even more depressed, she quickly waved and hurriedly said, ”We already know about this It is better to think about places where you have an advantage”
Yukinari became more spirited and quickly said, ”This? My mother is still alive Because of this, my brother rarely appears at home and as a result, he is not too close to Father Father likes me more!”
”Hm What else?” Nedis continued to ask
”There is even more…I…” His face suddenly turned red as he said, ”My relationshi+p with the Iunate is independent of the Iood relationshi+p with theant so his relationshi+p with the Ihter is lanced at Rody and immediately asked, ”The Imperial Family? This is a very favorable condition! Do you know hed and closed his eyes He had an expression as if he recalled so childhood We have strong feelings for each other In fact, un, half of it is because of her!”
Yukinari sighed again He opened his eyes and gave a wry smile as he said, ”I know un material My ability is far worse than un, he would be ht against him!” Yukinari clenched his fist and hatefully said, ”I heard e with the Ireement with His Majesty to hter! If my brother becomes the successor, then he…”
Nedis showed a rare expression of sincerity in her eyes She now felt bad for cheating hiainst your brother for this? With your current situation, is the Ehter to you?”
Yukinari shook his head and said, ”At first he illing His Majesty seeant He was once rude to the Eh he was later scolded by my father, his relationshi+p with the Imperial Family did not improve I believe that if we really cohed in his heart With a Shogun, the seat of Emperor is just an empty position His support would not have meantyou support As opposed to having a strong Shogun, the Royal Faun so that they would have an easier time
”But…” Yukinari suddenly frowned and his eyebrorinkled ”His Majesty’s attitude became weird Initially, he consented to my relationshi+p with the princess That was until last month…”
At first, Rody and the others had no interest in Yukinari’s private life But his next words suddenly made their ears perk up
”Last month, I secretly met up with the princess Our private place was a very secret place Ah, it was truly hard for her to follow me for the past few years There was a forbidden place in the palace where nobody is allowed to approach However, nobody knew that we rendezvous near that place! Following His Majesty’s orders, nobody is allowed to go there and so that place has very little visitors That here we could meet…”
Nedis’ heart seemed to jump She could not help but ask, ”A forbidden place? You all went in?”
”Of course not!” Yukinari shook his head ”Even if ant to go in, ould not be able to It is a cave with a lot of warriors guarding the entrance There are even royal o in there I and the princess only dared to stroll around the back of the nearby uarded but because His Majesty did not allow anyone to approach, there was nobody even around the neighborhood It was a good spot for us to have secret rendezvous…sigh” Yukinari sighed again ”Unfortunately, His Majesty found out last er allowed us to ret The other three could no longer listen anymore Nedis was pleased with herself and looked at Rody She seeet that inforh the word used 将军 jiangjun is general, they also have 将领 jiangling, which stands for high ranking uns are the ‘true’ s are the equivalent of Generalissieneral) Meanwhile, the jiangling here seeot sacked As the dwarves are obviously japanese, the jiangjun referring to dwarves are Shoguns while the jiangling are just generals The reason why these ‘generals’ are not Daiiven provinces or not ‘elite warriors’ in a literal sense
