The streets of Silverymoon City had become deserted.
A middle-aged half-elf pressed down on his hat as he hurriedly walked through the streets filled with fallen leaves.
But soon, a group of patrolling guards stopped him.
"Name?"
"Roth."
"What are you doing? Where are you going? "
… …
After a routine inspection and questioning, Roth was allowed to leave.
He walked around the streets for a long time before finally walking into an inconspicuous tavern.
After passing through the noisy main hall, Roth entered the kitchen with great familiarity. He was then led into a hidden basement by a chef.
"Brother, Cathy sent an urgent message from the palace."
Under the dim candlelight, a half-elf in the basement raised his head. It was Sith from the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce.
Sith frowned as he took the small piece of paper from Roth. He said unhappily, "The people from the House of Medea are looking for us. Why would she take the risk to send a message?"
Roth sighed, "It should be very important information. In order to send it out, three of our spies in the palace have been killed. "
Sith's frown deepened, but he still patiently flipped open the piece of paper and took out a book from the bookshelf.
After he finished translating the ciphertext on the note, his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?" Roth asked worriedly when he saw his brother's expression change.
Sith passed the translated piece of paper to his brother and said seriously, "We have to take action. We can't just sit here and wait!"
After reading the report, Roth said hesitantly, "Brother, but Mister Xue …"
"Don't bother about that damned Mister Xue!" Sith said angrily, "The only person we can rely on now is the Duke Of St Hilde!"
"But …" Roth still seemed to have some doubts.
"Brother, it's not like three hundred years ago. Who should we choose between the two of them? Don't tell me you still can't see it clearly?"
After a long while, Roth seemed to have been convinced by his brother. He nodded, "Alright! Then what do you think we should do? "
"Make the arrangements. I want to see the Duke Of Lute!"
— — —
"You actually dare to come and see me?"
The Duke Of Lute looked at Sith and sneered.
Sith's expression was indifferent as he asked, "Duke, don't you dare to meet me at this time as well?"
The Duke Of Lute chuckled, "How do you know that I didn't agree to meet you just to lure you out? You should know that Prince William is looking for you all over the city. "
"Then do you know why His Highness is looking for me?"
"I heard that it's because of tax evasion by the Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce."
"Do you believe this reason?"
"Of course not."
"What do you think is the reason?"
The Duke Of Lute sneered and said confidently, "I think it's because of Queen Aisha."
"Oh?" Sith rolled his eyes, "How much do you know about me and Her Highness Queen Consort?"
"Hehe, in the name of cultivating Blood Roses for the Queen, I'm afraid you've done a lot of things!" The Duke Of Lute revealed a smile that all men understood, "You're really lucky. Queen Aisha, that beautiful rose, actually took a fancy to a lowly commoner like you!"
Sith was stunned.
He originally thought that his secret with Queen Aisha had been seen through by the Duke Of Lute, but he didn't expect …
"Hahaha! Your Excellency the Duke, your eyes are truly sharp! "
The Duke Of Lute had a complacent look as he snorted, "In the palace, there aren't many things that can be hidden from my eyes."
"Right, right, right!" Sith suppressed his laughter, "Then are you going to capture me and bring me to His Majesty?"
"That'll depend on your performance." The Duke Of Lute smiled, "Although your Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce has been seized, I believe that you must have your own little treasury."
"So, you want money?"
"Also …" The Duke Of Lute's eyes flashed with a lustful light, "You've been with Queen Aisha for so long, you must have something on her, right? Give it to me. "
"Then, you can use it to blackmail Queen Aisha and get close to her?" Sith's eyes were a little strange.
The Duke Of Lute snorted, as if silently agreeing.
Sith couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and sighed, "Duke, you misunderstand. Queen Aisha and I don't have that kind of relationship. However, if you really want to get close to her, I might be able to help you. "
The Duke Of Lute felt that Sith was just being stubborn, but when he heard the last part, he couldn't help but ask, "How can you help?"
"I can help you attack the palace. When that happens, all the half-elf beauties in the palace, including Queen Aisha, will be yours. "
The Duke Of Lute glared at him and said angrily, "Are you playing with me?"
"I'm serious, Duke." Sith put his hand on his chest and bowed with a serious face.
"Ha, you lowly commoner, you dare to play with a noble! Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you? "
Faced with the Duke Of Lute's threat, Sith actually laughed, "Duke, I'm not a lowly commoner."
"What did you say?"
"My surname is Savoy."
"Sa, Savoy? Savoy! "The Duke Of Lute stood up from his seat and looked at Sith in disbelief.
Sith also straightened his chest and met the Duke Of Lute's gaze without backing down.
Then, in order to make the Duke Of Lute believe his identity, Sith took out an intricate badge.
"Golden-winged Sparrow!" The moment the Duke Of Lute saw the badge, he finally confirmed Sith's true identity.
He really was the descendant of the previous royal family of the half-elf kingdom, the "Golden-winged Sparrow" Savoy family!
"No wonder Prince William wanted to capture you so badly." The Duke Of Lute suddenly realized.
"Duke, now you know that I wasn't lying when I asked you to attack the palace with me."
"Hmph! Are you crazy? So what if you're from the Savoy family? Do you think that this is three hundred years ago? Do you think that just by revealing your identity, you can make me obey your orders?
Wake up, the current royal family of the half-elves is the House of Medea! "
Sith also laughed, "Duke, if you don't do as I say, do you think that the records of our previous interactions will be sent to His Majesty?"
The Duke Of Lute panicked, but he still tried to act tough, "Will His Majesty believe you?"
"Why not?
Do you know that I have a habit of keeping records? I have a detailed record of every bribe that I have given you in the past.
Not only you, but also your clansmen and your loyal subordinates.
Maybe you don't realize it, but our Hyacinth Chamber of Commerce has already been deeply entangled with your Lute family.
Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but at this sensitive time, do you think His Majesty will believe in your innocence?
Or would he rather kill the wrong person than let you go? "
The Duke Of Lute broke out in cold sweat.
Because he knew his brother-in-law too well.
He was a cold-blooded and merciless political animal!
Once he knew that the relationship between the Lute family and the Savoy family was unclear, the old king would not hesitate to raise his butcher's knife!
After a long while, the Duke Of Lute said bitterly, "What is your plan …"
The corners of Sith's mouth rose slightly, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
