Episode 36.11 (1/2)
Nirfut would have stabbed this knight dead with a poisonous needle if he could.
He seriously considered that for a moment.
But he realized what was going on as the council went on and the fact that their mission had already failed. Besides, he understood knight Kaldan's self-destruct was purposely goaded by their enemy. Which means, the end result would have been the same even if Kaldan stayed silent here.
Afterward, Nirfut was utterly powerless to do anything.
Knight Kaldan was restrained and got taken away.
Kusandria, Horkassa and Nirfut were driven out of the council room, back to the guesthouse their lodging. Same with Tendoria.
That Wazrof-related woman likely got named the heiress.
The mission this time was to kill Dopus so Goncourt House would have no successor. Had Zepus who died last year become the family head, they could just manipulate him to raise money, but they never thought Zepus would mess with a depth-walking adventurer and got himself killed.
Hence a new plan to use Kusandria to shake things up and make Don Cospe the heir's guardian.
Additionally, ascertaining Prado's health was another important mission for Nirfut.
Their biggest miscalculation could be said to be Prado's well being. His state was such that he should have died three years ago. But he managed to hang on to dear life, perhaps due to the medic he hired. Then from last year to this year, they found out that he had been receiving that <Healing Hand of Herb Saint>'s Eda's <Recovery>. That <Recovery> is likely
in reality. Due to all those help, Prado is alive even now.
This is the biggest roadblock.
Doesn't matter how well other plans are going, there's no point to them if Prado isn't dead or incapacitated. All those plans hinge on Prado's life being short.
However, that pressure he showed in the council earlier. That tremendous spirit. He's unlikely dying anytime soon. That's bad.
In fact, one of the orders given by Cassandra was to kill Prado if Nirfut deemed it necessary.
Since their Guardian Don Cospe plan has failed and that Norma woman has been named successor, killing Prado here won't do any good in the Goncourt takeover plan either way.
And yet, what's gonna happen if he goes back without killing Prado.
Forget not bringing back results, they've even made a huge blunder of insulting a knight of Wazrof.
When you actually think about it, Goncourt won't actually hand over knight Kaldan to House of Wazrof. But since knight Jinga is undoubtedly authentic, there's a high chance that this will eventually reach Wazrof's ears in some way.
Just what should he do here.
