Chapter 432 B-But that Amaya told me to g- …shit.
“So… you two plan to kill the King?”
Gibson Fulvanius, one of the four Ministers working directly under the King and older brother of Duke Thornton Fulvanius, questioned with a strange expression on his face.
Seeing his expression, Duke Thornton and Raguel frowned, this wasn’t the reaction they were expecting.
They thought that Gibson would have a cruel and cunning smile on his face and would start giving different ideas on how to Kill the King in the cruelest ways possible. Well, if not this, then he might start dreaming about being the King’s Grandfather and gaining an influence stronger than ever before, or maybe he would have some other reactions, however,
They never expected he would act so… calmly… even looking at them with a doubtful look on his face.
However, even after all that, Thornton didn’t back down and nodded with a determined look on his face.
“Yes, we do plan to Kill the King.”
“Haahh…”
Hearing that answer, a big sigh escaped Gibson’s mouth.
He glanced at Thornton with a disappointed look on his face and spoke.
“So let me get this straight, the Third Prince somehow has 3 Dukes supporting him, and the Odds that Raguel becomes the next King is close to zero.
Therefore, as a solution to this problem, you guys came up with a plan to get rid of the King before he crowns the Crown Prince and once that happens, Raguel, the oldest and the strongest would become the next King.
Correct?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
Thornton nodded again.
Gibson glanced at the two people sitting in front of him with an expression that looked like he was looking at the dumbest people in the entire world.
Seeing that reaction, Thornton’s frown deepened.
What happened? Why was his brother acting like that?
He tilted his head in confusion.
Gibson, who realized that his brother still did not understand what was wrong shook his head in disappointment.
“Thornton, I gave up on the Duke’s position because I believed that you would become an amazing leader, now I realized that father was right, you do not deserve to be the Duke.
I was wrong.”
Hearing those words, Thornton’s face turned cold.
“Don’t take that man’s name.”
He warned.
The person he hated the most in his life was his father.
A father who always underestimated him, a father who never valued him and always favored his older brother.
He was sick of his father.
He wanted nothing more than the death of his father.
Actually, if he had the chance, he would have stabbed his father on his own.
However, his father was not someone who could be fooled very easily, he would never show his back to him.
Never.
‘I will get that bastard someday.’
Thornton cursed inwardly.
“You must be thinking about getting rid of the father now, correct?”
Gibson guessed and Thronton’s eyes widened in surprise.
Gibson sighed again,
“Thornton, can you get any more foolish? Father is the only King Stage Cultivator backing us up, our house will be destroyed if something happened to him before the next King Stage Cultivator joins in.
You fool, when will you ever think about the consequences of your actions?
You want to Kill the King? Have you ever thought about the consequences?
What if the King survives, then what?
What if Lady Astaria returns and comes after us?
What will you do then?
You haven’t thought about it, have you?”
This time, Thornton couldn’t control himself and rebutted in rage.
“So what other option do we have!? There is no way Raguel would become the King if I don’t do anything! What? Should I just back down and let that Lovis become the next King!? Or do you have any better plan!?”
Gibson, however, didn’t lose control over his emotions and replied calmly.
“I do have a better plan.”
“Oh? Why don’t you enlighten us, brother?”
Thornton spoke sarcastically.
“Kill Lovis.”
Gibson answered without any change in his expression.
“!!!”
“!!!”
Hearing those words, Thornton’s and Raguel’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I do not understand, why would you go as far as contacting other Kingdom, lure Lady Astaria away, and then try to Kill the King? That bastard can only live for 30 more years, why not be patient?
Why not calm down and directly eliminate the source of all the problems?”
“…”
“…”
Thronton and Raguel turned silent.
Gibson continued.
“You two are worried about the King choosing Lovis as the next King and are willing to Kill the King before he does that. What kind of bullshit thinking is that? Why not just eliminate the man the King wishes to choose?”
Raguel and Thornton realized how thoughtless their plan actually was. Raguel, however, wasn’t planning to hear an hour-long lecture and tried to retort,
“But… but…
But that Amaya told me to g- …shit.”
However, he stopped midsentence.
He finally realized what happened.
Gibson heard his words as well.
“What were you saying? Amaya what? Are you talking about Consort Amaya?”
“…”
Raguel didn’t answer.
“I asked you a question!”
Gibson raised his voice.
This was the first time he had done that ever since he came here.
“Raguel, tell me what you were saying. Amaya what?”
He questioned again, this time, his tone was a lot heavier than before, he wasn’t requesting.
He was ordering.
His theory was clear, anything related to Amaya must be done with extreme caution.
If that woman is somehow involved, then something is definitely wrong with this situation.
Feeling overwhelmed by his Aura, Raguel gave in and answered,
“I had a talk with Consort Amaya a few days ago…”
Hearing those words, Gibson’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Why would you do something like that!? Didn’t I tell you not to go near that woman!?”
“I-I wanted to confirm something…”
Raguel lowered his head.
Gibson took a deep breath.
This was definitely bad.
Amaya was definitely involved with whatever is happening here. He was doubtful about how his little brother came up with such a ridiculous idea of going against the King, however, now he was sure.
It was that Bitch.
She must be manipulating him somehow.
Gibson shivered.
Going against that bitch… was the last thing he wanted to do…
However, he had to solve this mess.
That woman must have done it with thorough planning.
He needed to deal with this situation layer by layer.
“Tell me, Raguel, tell me everything from the start, and don’t you dare leave a single thing out.”
He spoke with a solemn expression.
