"Marquis Dawson, I hope I didn't disturb your rest?"
As soon as he entered, Marquis Menam greeted him with a smile.
Behind him was Count Anca.
Marquis Dawson smiled as usual and said, "Of course not."
After inviting the two of them to take a seat, Marquis Dawson ordered his guards to serve tea. He wasn't in a hurry as he quietly sipped his tea while waiting for Marquis Menham to explain his intentions.
Before long, Marquis Menham said, "Marquis Dawson, I'm sure you know that Anca has just returned from Chilly Winter City."
Marquis Dawson glanced at Count Anca and laughed as he asked, "How was the diplomatic mission? Did the House of Saint Hilde agree to the peace talks? "
"The House of Saint Hilde's attitude is worse than we expected!" Marquis Menham sighed.
Count Anca interrupted and said, "I discovered that the House of Saint Hilde already knows about Mister Xing's death. This is beyond my expectations!
Moreover, this makes the peace talks extremely difficult! "
Marquis Menham's expression was gloomy as he said coldly, "I reckon that someone on our side secretly leaked the information to the city. Otherwise, the House of Saint Hilde wouldn't have known about Mister Xing's death so quickly."
Although Marquis Dawson was cursing his idiotic son in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He even took the initiative to change the topic.
He even changed the topic and said, "So, the House of Saint Hilde doesn't agree to the peace talks?"
Marquis Menham didn't expect that the good son of his ally had leaked the secret, so he didn't harp on this topic.
He shook his head and said, "No. The House of Saint Hilde is willing to negotiate. However, they raised an excessive condition. "
Marquis Dawson's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the information that his son had just brought back.
He smiled and asked, "What condition?"
Marquis Menham stared intently into Marquis Dawson's eyes and said word by word, "The House of Saint Hilde wants me to hand you over!"
Marquis Dawson's expression changed, and his gaze became dangerous. He said in a deep voice, "Then, Marquis Menham, do you intend to accept this condition?"
Marquis Menham stared intently into Marquis Dawson's eyes and didn't immediately reply.
Marquis Dawson naturally stared back without giving in.
The two of them were like wild beasts meeting on a narrow path as they engaged in a battle of life and death.
The atmosphere in the tent became stagnant, and the air became suffocating.
Count Anca instantly became restless and broke out in cold sweat. At the same time, he was extremely puzzled by his father's actions.
Why did he purposely provoke Was?
Was he in the enemy's camp?
Was he not afraid of being Menham's Menham's?

"Marquis Dawson, do you think I will accept this condition?" Marquis Menham asked with a relaxed expression.
Marquis Dawson's face was full of smiles, as if he was welcoming his closest friend. "Of course not! The Dawson family and the Menham family have a friendship that has lasted for a thousand years. We are both the hope for the revival of the dwarves!
Why would we kill each other? "
"That's right!" Marquis Menham clapped his hands and said loudly, "That Viscount Angley thinks he can use this kind of agreement to sow discord between us. He is too naive!"
"Haha, since you are so honest, then I won't hide it. I have just received a letter from Archbishop Adjani. The letter warned me that the Menham family is prepared to betray the Dawson family! "
"Oh?" Marquis Menham's eyes turned, and he laughed. "Looks like Archbishop Ajani's relationship with you is very good. She actually helped you pass on the message."
Marquis Dawson waved his hands. "Sigh, I feel that this woman has bad intentions. She probably wants to use our Dawson family to do things for her."
"Indeed!" Marquis Menham nodded. "I don't even dare to get too close to that bewitching priestess for fear of being bewitched by her. You choosing to stay away from her is a very wise decision! "
Count Anca finally came back to his senses, and he immediately flattered with a smile. "Yes, humans are too cunning. We dwarves should unite and fight against foreign enemies!"
Marquis Menham smiled and nodded, agreeing with his son's words. Then, he saw the letter in Marquis Dawson's hand from the corner of his eye, and he asked, "Is this the letter that Ajani sent?"
"Yes. It's full of old tricks. She's too naive to think that she can trick me. " Marquis Dawson magnanimously handed the letter to Marquis Menham and said, "Do you want to take a look?"
"Okay." Marquis Menham did not stand on ceremony and immediately took the letter.
But then he frowned and asked, "Why are there so many places that have been altered?"
Marquis Dawson did not mind and said, "Oh, that's the original I received. Haha, maybe the Archbishop was hesitant about the wording when she wrote the letter. "
Marquis Menham suspiciously glanced at Marquis Dawson, but he did not say anything. Instead, he carefully read the contents of the letter.
After a while, he raised his head again and returned the letter to Marquis Dawson. He said, "It seems that the situation in Winter City is not stable."
Marquis Dawson nodded and said, "That's right. There are definitely people in Lion's Roar Castle who do not want to see Vera inherit the title of Duke. Moreover, if Mr. Cheng's information is correct, the Oman family also has a blood feud with the Angele family.
The hidden resistance in the city cannot be underestimated. Perhaps, we can make use of it. "
Marquis Menham rubbed his chin and seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he nodded and said, "This is indeed a feasible method, but how do we contact the people in the city?"
Marquis Dawson coughed awkwardly and said, "I have a way to contact Archbishop Ajani, but I don't think she is trustworthy."
Marquis Menham smiled and said, "Then you don't have to trust her. We and the church are just using each other. You can pretend to agree to her request first and see what she has in mind for you. "
Marquis Dawson seemed to be moved. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can think of a way to contact the people in the city and see if we can win over those who are dissatisfied with Vera."
"Good! Thank you for your hard work! "
"You are welcome!"
Marquis Menham immediately stood up and said goodbye to Marquis Dawson.
It was late at night outside the tent. There was no moon in the sky, only a little bit of starlight.
Marquis Menham and his son walked quietly. When they returned to their own camp, Marquis Menham suddenly asked.
"Do you think Marquis Dawson lied?"
"Huh?" Earl Anca was stunned. "I don't think so."
"Haha." Marquis Menham sneered and said, "Did you see the letter? It is full of traces of alteration. Marquis Dawson said that it was originally like this, but I think that he deliberately altered the important information after receiving the letter! "
Earl Anca thought for a while and nodded. "That is indeed possible …"
Marquis Menham continued, "Also, did you notice the handwriting on the letter?"
Earl Anca suddenly felt a little awkward because he did not notice the handwriting.
"Don't you feel that it is familiar?" Marquis Menham asked.
Earl Anca thought carefully and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He took out the peace negotiation agreement and said in surprise, "The handwriting on the letter is the same as the handwriting on the agreement!"
Marquis Menham nodded and asked, "I remember you saying that this agreement was written by Viscount Angley on the spot?"
"That's right! I saw him write it with my own eyes! " Earl Anca finally understood. "So, that letter was not written by Ajani to Marquis Dawson, but by Viscount Angley!"
"Yes, Marquis Dawson must be lying." Marquis Menham's face was gloomy as he said, "Moreover, this is not the first lie that he has told."
"He is hiding other things?" Earl Anca was shocked.
"Do you remember his reaction when I told him that someone in the camp leaked the news of Mister Dusk's death to Winter City?"
Earl Anca thought for a while and said in shock, "He did not react. Instead, he changed the topic!"
"Yes." Marquis Menham sneered. "Don't you think it is strange that he is not concerned about something as important as a spy in the camp?"
Count Anca immediately said, "Unless he was the one who arranged for the traitor!"
"Yes." Marquis Menham sighed and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned back to look in the direction of the Dawson Family's camp.
"Faran Dawson, how do you expect me to trust you?"
