The wagon continued to move forward steadily.
15 minutes later, the wagon stopped in front of White Deer Restaurant in Upper Seventh Ring.
It was the location that Kieran chose.
Silent Night Secret Order chose the time.
Both sides chose the time, it was fair, wasn't it?
"Your Highness, we're here."
The captain of the royal guardians beside the wagon knocked on the window and said.
Monte jumped down from the wagoner and made sure it was safe before he opened the door.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Compared to before, A Close Official was more attentive this time around.
After the conversation with King VI, although the king didn't make any promises, Monte understood what the king meant.
When His Highness succeeded the throne, Monte would become the Minister of Decrees.
Not the only one, just one of them.
But to Monte, it was enough.
It was an identity that he dared not even dream of in the past.
One needed to know that he was just a jester, the kind that everyone knew.
Now, he obtained the title of Minister of Decrees with the identity of a jester. It wasn't just a change in title, it also changed his identity, position, and title.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Monte had to be extra vigilant.
Without a doubt, Monte would take a bullet for Kieran without a second thought.
Likewise, Kieran's enemy was also Monte's enemy.
Therefore, when he saw Horlaika and Horfe representing the Silent Night Secret Order, A Close Official's eyes were vigilant and sizing them up. After the secret agents beside him made sure it was safe, A Close Official quietly retreated behind Kieran.
"Sir Corin."
Horlaika and Horfe bowed to Kieran.
Horlaika was calm and didn't show anything unusual.
Horfe, on the other hand, was a little unnatural.
As a member of the Silent Night Secret Order, other than his own councilmen, Horfe rarely bowed to others. Even if he bowed, it was to the higher-ups of the same organization. Bowing to other organizations?
It was the first time.
It felt very unfamiliar and …
Sh * t!
Although the councilmen did not say anything, Horfe was no fool. He naturally had his own guesses about the situation.
The situation wasn't looking good for Silent Night Secret Order.
I hope everything goes well!
With the prayers from the bottom of his heart, Horfe cursed the few dead companions of his once again.
If it weren't for those three bastards who couldn't tell the situation apart and only knew how to curry favor, how could they be so passive?
Damn it!
After another curse from the bottom of his heart, Horfe turned around and walked side by side with Horlaika into White Deer Restaurant.
The door of the restaurant was a double wooden door. The floor was as clean as the signboard. Obviously, it had been cleaned. Just like the chefs here, they had all changed into new clothes.
However, what caught people's attention was the food on the table.
A large oval table that could seat twenty people was placed in the middle of the restaurant.
The table was covered with food.
Golden bread, fried potatoes, and roasted venison and bear meat were placed together.
The emerald green and bright red fruits were placed aside.
The wine with the palm barrels was placed on the other side.
As the identity of the heir was made known to the higher-ups of Aïtantin Castle, his love for food was also made known.
Kieran didn't hide his love for food.
At least, he didn't think it was necessary to hide it.
First, he loved the taste of food. It was real.
Second, he needed a point of focus that was easier to attract attention.
Instead of waiting for attention in other aspects to come up with a plan, he might as well take the initiative to show it. At least he had a natural advantage when it came to food.
Of course, he wouldn't take the initiative to show it.
Quietly walking into the restaurant, the Old Demon Hunter, who had been waiting for a long time, joined the line behind Kieran in a flash. Monte glanced over the Old Demon Hunter but didn't say anything.
His Highness' special identity would surely attract some special people.
With the Old Demon Hunter around, the safety aspect was more reliable than the royal court guardians.
Monte already knew it in his heart.
However, he didn't let his guard down. A step ahead, Monte went up and started to check the food. The royal court guardians even guarded all the entrances of the restaurant.
Although he had checked the food before, Monte dared not be careless at the moment.
There were too many cases of poisoning the food at the last minute.
Monte didn't want anything bad to happen to his Highness.
Five minutes later, A Close Official turned around to Kieran and signaled that everything was fine.
When A Close Official signaled, Horlaika and Horfe placed crystals on the side of the table.
A moment later …
Wung!
The air vibrated.
Kurtzargert and the 14 southern councilmen's mirage appeared in Kieran's sight.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness Corin."
The moment the mirage appeared, a southern councilman with a kind voice spoke first.
As the manager of Aïtantin Castle, Kurtzargert, kept quiet.
"Councilman Eindefern?"
Kieran confirmed the councilman's identity.
"The intelligence agents of the royal court are much more capable than you think.
Of course … "
"It might also be Snake School."
The councilman's laughter came from under his hood.
Monte frowned slightly at the laughter.
A Close Official sharply noticed that Councilman Eindefern was testing Snake School and the Aïtantin royal court. In other words, he was trying to sow discord between them.
Once the royal court and Snake School had anything dirty to do with each other, it would add fuel to the fire.
If there wasn't?
It wouldn't matter.
Many a little makes a mickle, quantity inciting qualitative change was also possible.
A Close Official was certain that Eindefern was planning to do so.
Eindefern said he was here for a discussion, yet he harbored malicious intentions …
A Close Official started to think.
Almost instinctively, he looked at Kurtzargert who had been silent all this while.
As the manager of Aïtantin Castle, Kurtzargert's silence was strange.
Could it be …
A Close Official immediately thought of something.
A Close Official's eyes shone right away.
A Close Official subtly signaled Kieran with his eyes, and with a nod from Kieran, he slowly walked out.
"Greetings, Sir Eindefern."
As the representative of the heir to the kingdom, Monte didn't lack manners. He bowed before saying slowly, "Your Highness, as the heir to the kingdom, at the same time the heir to Snake School, what does it matter where the information comes from?"
It was obvious that the Silent Night Secret Order didn't have any information about Corin being the heir to Snake School.
Therefore, when Monte spoke, all the southern councilmen were stunned.
However, Kurtzargert wasn't moved.
The sharp contrast made A Close Official even more confident.
Kurtzargert and the southern councilmen weren't of the same mind.
This would be easy to deal with!
An iron plate was hard to break.
But with a gap?
Hehehehe.
A Close Official smirked in his heart.
This was what he was best at.
"What? Didn't Sir Eindefern know?
I thought Sir Kurtzargert would have told you. "
A Close Official said exaggeratedly.
Eindefern glanced over Kurtzargert.
Even with the hood covering his face, one could feel the coldness in his gaze.
Eindefern knew it would allow A Close Official to know more about the Silent Night Secret Order.
However, he was angry at Kurtzargert for hiding the truth.
How could he hide such important information?
The other 13 southern councilmen shared the same thought, all of them glared at Kurtzargert.
As the heir to the kingdom, Corin being a member of Snake School and being the heir to Snake School were two different concepts.
The former was considered a closer collaboration.
As for the latter?
Both of them could be considered as a single entity!
Based on that, would there be other members of Snake School in the Aïtantin royal court?
Would there be other members of Snake School hiding in the military?
What about the secret agents, servants, maids!
Or even …
Was Snake School born from the Aïtantin royal court?
Or was the Aïtantin royal court born from Snake School?
Otherwise, why was Snake School so quiet and had no records of its existence?
There had to be a bigger organization covering it up.
Aside from Wolf Sect, who else was more suitable than the Aïtantin royal court?
Thinking about the unreasonable behavior of the Aïtantin royal court at certain times …
All of a sudden, everyone's face changed, their gazes at Kieran became strange.
It was obvious that Snake School and the Aïtantin royal court had reached a consensus to promote a common heir.
When the heir took over, the situation in the Northern Lands and the South would change.
They could not allow such an heir to appear!
Instinctively, the 14 southern councilmen thought of the same thing.
However, at the next moment, they thought of their current situation.
That unknown existence!
That demigod or a God hiding in the dark!
And the Mist who stood in the light!
Damn it!
Since when did the situation in Aïtantin Castle become so complicated?
The southern councilmen didn't have any doubts about the existence hiding in the dark.
To be able to change a believer's faith, it must be that kind of existence.
As for why the existence wasn't well-known before?
Look at the Mist!
Before the war broke out in Sicar, no one knew the name of the Mist.
It was obvious that the existence was like the Mist, quietly developing its own forces, waiting for the day to shock the world with a single brilliant feat.
But …
They ruined the plan.
Eindefern could almost imagine the rage of the existence.
They couldn't kill the existence!
It wasn't time yet!
That mysterious existence on the other side was the most important matter!
"Colipo's death and Ludus' disappearance exhausted Kurtzargert, it's normal for him to forget some things."
Eindefern looked at Kurtzargert again.
His gaze was as clear as day.
Cooperate with him.
Or fall out with him.
Eindefern wasn't worried about it.
If Kurtzargert wanted to fall out with him, he wouldn't have waited until now.
As expected, a moment later, Kurtzargert nodded.
"Mm."
Numb and expressionless, Kurtzargert nodded.
Everyone at the scene could tell how fake it was.
However, none of them exposed it.
They chose to turn a blind eye to it, tacitly acknowledging it.
Including A Close Official who spoke on behalf of Kieran.
Now wasn't the right time to pursue the matter.
What they needed now was compensation!
A Close Official, who got the hint from Kieran, cleared his throat and spoke again.
"Sir Eindefern, it's not our place to interfere with your family affairs.
But I think we have to talk about the unwarranted invasion of your men. "
A Close Official said.
"Of course.
"That's what we're here for."
After all, now isn't the right time for internal strife. "
After Eindefern finished, he didn't give A Close Official the chance to interrupt. He looked at Kieran and said, "280 pieces of real magical equipment and items, we will use them in exchange for your forgiveness as the heir of Snake School and Aïtantin."
280 pieces of magical equipment and items?!
When he heard what Eindefern said, Monte, who was about to speak, was stunned.
As a jester …
Monte was quite wealthy.
He wasn't as wealthy as those inherited families, but compared to the common Knight, he was a dozen times wealthier.
Even so, with his net worth, he could only buy 3 to 5 pieces of magical equipment and items.
Therefore, it was natural for Monte to be stunned.
The other person who was stunned was …
Old Demon Hunter!
Edersen wasn't a person who hadn't seen the world, but that was 280 pieces of magical equipment and items!
And they were real, not the so-called magic tricks!
If he used them properly, he wouldn't need the full compensation, just a small part of it. After a year or two of training, he would be able to make Wolf Sect reappear.
Old Demon Hunter, who was a little reluctant to attend the meeting, instantly lost his resistance. Instead, he started to think about how he should ask for the compensation from the heir of Snake School.
His throwing knife technique and teaching it to others.
What else could he use as a bargaining chip?
Even the heir, the stingy Old Demon Hunter, frowned hard.
"Sure."
Kieran spoke.
He agreed right away.
He didn't even try to bargain.
It made Monte, who just came back to his senses, anxious.
Since Kieran offered such a bargaining chip, he must have more. All he needed was a simple trick and he would get more!
'Damn it!
I really deserve to die!
How could I let His Highness suffer such a loss! '
As the future minister, A Close Official, who was playing the role, really wanted to slap himself.
But it was too late to say anything now.
'Damn it!
A bunch of bastards who bullied His Highness for being honest, pure, and honest! '
A Close Official glared at the southern councilmen and added the 14 of them to his blacklist.
Eindefern and the other 14 councilmen felt the gaze.
However, they didn't care.
They were more concerned about Kieran's straightforwardness.
They wouldn't believe that Kieran agreed just because he was young.
They wouldn't believe that Kieran was blinded by the huge compensation.
As for Kieran knowing their bottom line from the start?
It was even more impossible.
Unless there was a traitor among them.
Although there was a conflict between the councilmen, it was an internal conflict within Silent Night Secret Order, not even Kurtzargert would involve an outsider.
Therefore, there was only one possibility left!
They weren't the only ones who noticed the unknown existence.
Snake School noticed it too.
With that thought in mind, the southern councilmen looked at each other.
Then, they looked at Kieran at the same time.
"The compensation is done.
"I don't think we can cooperate more deeply."
"Your Highness Corin, what do you think?"
Eindefern tried to test the waters.
"Sure."
Kieran waved his hand as he spoke.
Right away, other than Old Demon Hunter and A Close Official, everyone else walked out.
Eindefern also signaled Horlaika, Horfe, and the others to leave.
Soon, the whole White Deer Restaurant was left with Kieran, Old Demon Hunter, A Close Official, and 15 phantoms.
After some thought, Kieran said.
"You guys noticed him too?"
