In the end, Barn decided that it would be better to start from both ends.

It's still a little better to bet on both sides.

In the end, it just depends on who gives a higher price.

They'll help whichever side they want.

Although it's annoying to do so.

Those people won't really work with them.

However, the empire does not matter in the first place.

What about the Empire.

As long as they can be obedient.

Now they are selling at a price, even if they don't like them on the other side, there is nothing they can do.

Because it is impossible for them to push themselves against their enemies.

That's what Barnes is all about.

Even if you have an opinion, what else can you do?

It's just that the plan is progressing more slowly than Barn thought.

The Queen of Casti didn't know if she didn't want to see him or what.

The royal housekeeper actually said she wasn't in Huttonmar.

Didn't she know where she came from?

But he has already asked his subordinates to identify themselves.

Or did the woman think she would help her?

Is that so sure?

Barn didn't believe she couldn't see the situation yet.

How could such a shrewd woman not see this clearly.

There was no way she could control the situation.

Or is it that what she wants is not this at all.

That's exactly what she wants.

Or, it could be argued that she deliberately connived at the outcome.

I have to say that there is such a possibility.

So, what exactly is she trying to do?

You know, she's now the queen of the Duchy of Belmar.

Nominally, the whole country belongs to her.

So, what else did she want?

Can't think of it.

After all, the Empire still has very little information about the Duchy of Belmar.

It would be difficult for them to buy off a high-ranking person in the principality of Belmar.

Those who came from civilian backgrounds were basically supported by the nobility of the Duchy of Belmar.

Used to represent their interests.

It is of no use to the empire to plot against these people.

As for the nobles of the Duchy of Belmar, they really look down on the little things in the Delos Empire.

After all, in the Duchy of Belmar, they can still be noble lords who are good and powerful.

If they arrived in the Delos Empire, they would only be citizens of an empire.

There are certainly privileges.

But the severity of the law.

No, because these people are nobles, they will be open to them.

Therefore, it is difficult for the policy of the empire to attract these people.

So they can only try to win over some people from ordinary backgrounds.

However, even with the support of the Empire.

It is also difficult for them to enter the upper reaches of the Duchy of Belmar.

So, for the upper echelons of the Duchy of Belmar there are some hidden things.

The empire doesn't know much.

Or rather, it's too late to know.

However, Barn did not think that he had to hang himself from a tree.

He's not alone.

Or the same Prince Ortiz who was trapped in his mansion by his sister-in-law.

This Prince Ortiz, he has always been in good shape.

Since that failed battle for the throne.

He had been trapped in his mansion all the time.

Basically, it never came out again.

He was imprisoned by his sister-in-law in the name of "protection".

At that time, they thought that the prince of Ortiz would die in an inexplicable way without knowing when.

What he didn't expect was that his sister-in-law had kept him in order to take care of her reputation.

And they also treat each other with good food and drink.

It's a bit unexpected.

However, it was not so easy for their people to get in touch with this Prince Ortiz.

You must know that this Prince Ortiz is in captivity.

There is a strict control over who enters and exits.

How is it possible to casually put strangers in it.

If you do.

So what's the point of captivity.

Now, it's just a few of Prince Ortiz's subordinates in charge of procurement and his butlers can come and go freely.

After all, there should be something to have.

Although, the situation in the Duchy of Belmar was stable in these years.

For this Prince Ortiz, there is also some relaxation.

But that's just the people below getting lazy.

Believing this Skadi queen, she still keeps an eye on her brother-in-law.

So, talk about the idea of contacting this palace steward directly.

Barn didn't even think about it.

The target is too big and can easily attract the attention of others.

Then it's hard to think to yourself and do something.

That Prince Ortiz will also be stared at again.

Therefore, the best way is to approach those who often come out to procure.

He knew that most of these people were old men who had followed Prince Ortiz before he was imprisoned.

There must be his henchmen in this.

That's how they get the message in.

However, it should be noted that

There must be people who have been arranged by other forces to get in.

Or someone who has been bought by other forces.

Be sure to investigate clearly.

No one else can be allowed to pull the wool of the Empire.

Prince Ortiz didn't know that his greatest help was about to come.

And all he had to do was make a few promises.

Sign your name on a sacred covenant.

The Delos Empire could help him claim the throne he had been dreaming about for years.

His heart has calmed down a lot.

The other day, those nobles snuck in the words.

It really made Ortiz a little moved.

To know the location.

He almost sat down.

But it's just a little bit worse.

Ortiz has not been out of this mansion for more than twenty years.

However, he quickly calmed down.

What's going on outside.

Ortiz is not very clear.

All he knew was what the nobles had told him.

Actually, what exactly is the situation in the Duchy of Belmar now.

Ortiz: He doesn't know.

He didn't know if those people were trying to use him for something or what.

Although, Ortiz calmed down.

But he still had a little bit of his own thoughts.

Let your henchmen take advantage of the procurement time.

Go and ask as much as you can about these things.

I hope I can give myself the initiative in this matter.

After all, now the news of him and those people is completely unequal.

If it weren't for those people coming to him.

Ortiz: He didn't even know what was going on outside.

Such an asymmetry, how could he agree to those old guys.

As for what those people said were loyal to the Skadi family, in fact, they had been trying to make mistakes, and some even said that they were deceived by others.

Ortiz wouldn't believe a word.

Over the years, he has not grown a little.

At least let yourself be less impatient, and your temperament has become stable.

I've figured out a lot of things before.

At that time, I couldn't see these problems at all.

Only know your own enjoyment.

Although with a little cleverness.

However, for some things, I haven't seen my big brother clearly.

Spend the day loitering around Huttonmar with a group of fox friends.

So although his eldest brother was not in good health, he made his father angry for that woman.

The throne is still in the hands of the eldest brother.

Because, compared to him, he is really much worse.

It's a pity that it's my big brother.

It's been less than a year since I took over that position.

He left this world with his father.

This is really something that many people can't think of.

At that time, Ortiz was completely unaware that his opportunity had come.

He thought it was just a serious joke played by his friend.

At that time, he had to beat his friends.

How could he make such a joke on himself.

It's just that later it was all true.

He realized that they weren't lying to him.

At that time, Ortiz didn't think much about it either.

After all, his eldest brother has no heirs.

In any case, he is the first heir of the Duchy of Belmar.

The rest of the time.

You just have to wait honestly.

However, the end result.

Forget it, don't talk about it.

It's been so long anyway.

At that time, I was really not suitable to take over that position.

It's superfluous to say so much now.

However, Ortiz can't think of his sister-in-law who can't see this?

How could someone as shrewd as she could not see?

Or rather, she did it all on purpose.

What the hell is she trying to do?

Could it be that she is not satisfied with sitting in that position?

It's just that the Queen of Skady won't come to give him an answer.

Everything, no one knows.

Even now many people don't know where the Queen of Skadi is.

There are a lot of people who want to go to her.

This is the case in the Principality of Belmar.

The wise Queen Skadi didn't stand up and say a word.

Instead, there has been silence.

People also seem to have forgotten the existence of the Skadi Queen.

Ortiz put her book back on the shelf.

I brushed my clothes again.

He was in his thirties.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you earn that position or not.

But what about his own son.

He was born here.

I haven't even gone out to see the outside world.

How can this work.

If you don't work hard for yourself and for your son.

。。。。。。

Barn was in the room looking at the information his men had brought up.

He saw something even more interesting.

That's the Dark Order, and they're here.

He is also said to be the mentor of a faction of the Dark Order.

This is a big shot in the Dark Order.

If he's not mistaken.

The Empire didn't even notify the Dark Order.

They should be doing those horrible experiments in their own place right now.

And not to run here.

And they haven't come here to let themselves know yet.

Barn didn't believe they didn't know they were here.

You know, it's no secret within the empire that you went to the Duchy of Belmar.

But they didn't come to themselves.

It seems that there are some people in the Dark Order who are also dishonest.

It's not like Barn is putting on a score.

Rather, it's a procedure that the empire has to go.

For people like Barn, who are bound by the system.

The actions of the Dark Order this time can be said to be excessive.

Anyway, these things will not come to fruition for a while.

Barn was going to visit the Dark Order in a few days.

He wanted to see what the Dark Order people thought.

They also dare to meddle in such a thing.

It looks like he's really bold.

Although, he doesn't care much about the Dark Order.

However, it's time to wake up or to wake up.

After all, the role of the Elwin Line is for the Empire.

No less than five divisions.

You can't let the people of the Dark Order ruin the Empire's affairs at that time.

Otherwise, don't say that His Majesty the Emperor, Barn himself will not forgive himself.

Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious.

And the Dark Order is a destabilizing factor.

It was necessary for him to go over and knock the other party.

Let those people know what can be done now? What can't be done?

Otherwise, the time will be wrong for the great affairs of the empire.

No one can afford it.

At this time, Rhonda naturally didn't know that Barn, who was the "Four Sword Saints", was going to beat him.

If anyone is here.

At a glance, he could tell that Rhonda was drawing the floor plan of Capella, the second cathedral of the Church.

This kind of thing is not very secret at all.

Because most of the Capella Church is open.

Just send a few people disguised as painters and paint those things and bring them to him.

After all, he doesn't want to be so detailed.

Just to make an optimal route when the time comes, when the time comes, to evacuate.

No one can be sure.

That thing, it's in the council.

After all, the relict had been stored in the Capella church from the beginning.

It's also possible that this is a smoke bomb that will be released.

Therefore, Rhonda had to prepare for both.

In case something is not in the council.

Or, the one in the council is a fake.

Then they had to go to the Capella church to get it.

Even though he didn't want to do that.

However, this was the first task that the adult had for himself.

If it fails.

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

And I'm not either, not prepared at all.

The lord left himself two hole cards.

One of them was a powerful power that would allow him to possess more than fifty levels of Awakened in an hour.

However, this side effect is also very large.

When the strength is over, he will fall into a long period of weakness.

There may only be more than twenty levels of strength.

But that's enough.

An hour can do a lot of things for him.

And I have another hole card.

That's what he relies on.

As long as you can find a way to hold back the upper echelons of the church.

Or lead them to another place.

So that the church cannot support it quickly.

Just by the ordinary clergy.

How can they stop themselves.

So, it's not impossible to succeed.

However, errands must not only be done, but also done well.

The hole cards that the lord gave himself.

Rhonda doesn't plan to use them all.

This was the test that the Lord gave himself.

Rhonda wanted to show Nabi what he was capable of.

In this way, he will always reuse himself.
