Chapter 395: Entering the sect (1/2)
GDK 395 – Entering the sect
“Agreed? What did she agree to?” Han Shuo stared blankly and asked suspiciously.
“Naturally it’s agreeing to our matter!” Emily explained cheerfully, “I told Phoebe everything regarding our relationship, emphasizing that due to my identity,we can’t reveal our relationship. I also shared how my husband had suddenly died on the battlefield soon after I entered Betteridge Family. After hearing me out, Phoebe even advised me for quite a while!”
Han Shuo was amazed, suddenly feeling that Phoebe was really fair and reasonable. On the other hand, Emily was also extremely intelligent to be able to be apart of Dark Mantle for so long. Making Phoebe approve of her identity with a few words was enough to prove that Emily’s ability.
Hearing Emily’s words, Han Shuo finally relaxed. He smiled as he gave her a light kiss before saying, “Emily, you are really capable.”
“Alright, alright. Enough of your honeyed words.” Emily happily pushed Han Shuo before saying, “It’s already quite late, you shouldn’t stay here. I still need to go over and send my regards to Father.”
Hearing Emily mention the Betteridge Family head Mister Hahn, Han Shuo thought for a moment before asking, “Which prince does Mister Hahn support?”
“I don’t know, perhaps it is because Father has retired from the military for too long. When the empire was in turmoil, Father was not part of the empire’s government and neither has he mentioned the matters between the princes to me.” Hearing Han Shuo bring up official matters, Emily knitted her brows as she answered. Being silent for a moment, Han Shuo then replied, “If Mister Hahn mentions this matter, or has plans to support a certain prince, you should urge him to not act impulsively this few days, so as to not lead the Betteridge Family down the wrong path.”
Emily was shocked, asking astoundedly, “Why would you say this?”
“Everyone doesn’t think highly of Lawrence. However, if nothing unexpected happens, the next king would be Lawrence. These few days, you should quietly observe from the side. I reckon that His Majesty would make major decisions very soon.” After discussing terms with King Uhtred, he understood that Lawrence’s situation would change drastically. Hence, he reminded Emily.
“Are you sure your information is accurate?” Emily clearly understood the gravity of this information, having a serious expression as she asked Han Shuo.
Han Shuo nodded his head affirmatively and said, “I went to the palace today and heard this from the king himself. It’s definitely true.”
“In that case, I must share this news with my father and brother immediately. In addition, there are a few other friends who are still observing the situation, I must remind them before it’s too late.” Upon hearing Han Shuo’s words, Emily already started wearing her clothes, carrying a worried expression.
As this matter concerned all nobles of Lancelot Empire, every noble must take a side in this matter. If they chose the wrong side, their family might suffer a decline. Therefore, they must act with caution.
Han Shuo could understand Emily’s anxiety. He stood up and gently helped her put on her silk dress, helped her straighten her disheveled hair and even applied rouge amidst her blissful smile before saying, “Alright, be careful on your way.”
Emily obediently waited for Han Shuo to finish helping her before happily giving him a kiss. She said with a smile, “I know, you shouldn’t stay here for too long. We are in the Betteridge Family residence.”
“I will leave now.” Han Shuo smiled. After sorting his clothes and watching Emily leave to find Hahns, he left silently as well.
Upon entering his residence, Han Shuo felt the heavy killing intent from Bollands. With a glance, he saw Bollands hiding in the shadows.
“Lord Marquis!” Han Shuo hadn’t even entered his room when Bollands suddenly shouted in a low voice and walked out from the shadows.
There were no strong guards within Han Shuo’s residence. Apart from Han Shuo, there was no one else within the residence that he would be worried about. Therefore he did not lay down any formations. After all, an expert like Bollands would not be seen by normal people.
Bollands was dressed long gray robes, had a malevolent face and was shrouded with dense killing intent. Any normal person who saw him would definitely be filled with fear. “Let’s talk inside!” Han Shuo glanced at Bollands, smiling before entering his room with Bollands following behind.
Inside the room, Han Shuo surveyed the area through his mystical demons. He saw that there were no suspicious individuals in the surroundings. Phoebe had also returned to Boozt Merchant Guild after being unable to meet Han Shuo.
Sitting down, Han Shuo smiled at Bollands and asked, “So what is your decision?”
Bollands had an excited expression as he nodded his head and answered, “I would like to learn your martial technique. Lord Karel has already agreed, but he wants to meet you in person.”
Han Shuo wasn’t shocked. In this world, only Han Shuo could give Bollands what he needed, with Bollands’ degree of obsession with this martial technique, he would definitely agree. What Han Shuo did not understand was why Karel Ascot would want to see him.
Staring blankly for a moment, Han Shuo frowned as he asked, “Why does Mister Karel want to see me?”
Bollands answered while shaking his head, “I’m not sure.”
“I see.” Han Shuo muttered to himself before asking, “When does he want to see me? Where should I look for him?”
“If you have the time, my Lord wants me to bring you to see him.” Bollands respectfully answered.
