Clyfford narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.During the day, the instructions from the general's mansion were sent to Black Desert. The instructions were brief, essentially ordering the northern troops to return to the capital. No other details were disclosed.Clyfford felt that something was wrong because during the day, Eldorado had asked him and Talbot to leave first and had stayed behind alone with Giffard.So in the afternoon, Clyfford sent his trusted aide into the palace to gather information.However, Clyfford never expected that Eldorado would have such an idea."Lord Regent, if Isaac becomes the major general and marries the Princess, he would truly be second only to the ruler and above everyone else."When the time comes..."Clyfford's gaze grew increasingly menacing; he naturally understood the reasoning his confidant was presenting.The deep-seated hatred between him and Isaac could only end with one of them dead.If Isaac became a major general and married the P
Inside the carriage, the fragrance emanating from Skylar filled the confined space."Isaac, what exactly do you mean? Making me eat at the same table with you, and ride in the same carriage… If word gets out, how do you think people will see me?" Skylar looked at Isaac with a cold expression.Ever since he got on the carriage, he has been holding the Skyrend Sword, closing his eyes and concentrating without saying a single word."Right now you could clearly return to the Kingdom of Vriweth with the main forces. So why are you choosing to go to the Kingdom of Northwing alone?"Skylar's words were clear; Isaac had achieved such great merit, so even if he returned, Eldorado would not impose any punishment on him.Skylar managed to complete her own tasks successfully, but now Isaac was causing trouble again."If you were to die, my mother would be in danger. Besides, I didn't sleep with you, so what could people say? This answers your first question."Going to the Kingdom of Northwi
Isaac waved his hand and quickly walked inside.Skyler, Lucifer, and three attendants also walked into the mansion.The past few days had been free of snow, and the sun had been shining warmly. In the backyard's small pavilion, Evie was wearing a cinched floral dress and holding embroidery work as she sat on a stone bench and carefully stitching by hand.Hearing footsteps, Evie turned her head and locked eyes with Isaac as he walked in.Evie paused for a moment, then a happy smile spread across her face."You're back!" Evie stood up and walked out.Isaac nodded, and the two of them hugged each other outside the pavilion.Seeing this scene, Skylar, who was behind, was slightly taken aback and looked away.The three attendants looked at Isaac and Evie with different expressions."Haha, Evie! Pretty, do you remember me?" Lucifer suddenly burst into laughter, startling everyone.Evie was startled and, upon seeing Lucifer, raised her hand in surprise and pointed toward him."You…
After Mackie finished speaking, the man in front of him removed his hood, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.Isaac's eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively took a step back. The spiritual energy within him surged instantly!Eldorado?The bishop of the Black Rose Sect noticed Isaac's expression and smiled. "This isn't the place to have a conversation, Isaac. Won't you invite us in?"This person resembled Eldorado, but his voice was a bit different; it was not as deep as Eldorado's.Isaac frowned, glanced inside, and said, "It's not convenient here. There's a pub next door; let's go there."He was not worried about the intentions of the two people in front of him, but Elon was still in the front yard, and the less he knew, the better.Moreover, Isaac wasn't worried about Elon doing anything reckless, since the 370,000-strong army was still under the control of people like Madd and others.In the room at the pub, Mackie and the bishop removed their hoods and sat at the
Matthias's eyes turned cold, but after a few moments of silence, he stood up and lowered Mackie's longsword with his hand. He then said with a smile, "You are indeed Gael's son; your temperament is quite similar to his."Since that's the case, I won't pressure you any further. But Isaac, you need to promise me one thing!"Isaac breathed a small sigh of relief and nodded. "Please, Bishop, go ahead.""Before the regime changes, do not enter the Royal City. I will arrange for someone to watch over your mother," Matthias said in a serious tone.Isaac had a puzzled look on his face. Suddenly, his eyes widened as he looked at Matthias. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to say anything and just nodded."Good then, we're off." As Matthias finished speaking, he disappeared from Isaac's sight in a flash.What did he mean when he said, "Before the regime changes?"Isaac had some vague suspicions about certain matters, but he couldn't be sure. He would just have to wait and see.
Isaac hesitated for a moment, a look of suspicion immediately appearing in his eyes.Next to him, Skylar was utterly shocked. Eldorado wanted to appoint Isaac as the major general, put him in charge of the twelve cities, and even wanted her to marry him!Evie nodded slightly as she looked at Isaac’s back, but she didn't say anything.The room suddenly fell into an unusual silence. Giffard sidestepped and sat down on a chair, his eyes slightly narrowed and a smile on his face, as if he was certain that Isaac would agree.After all, such an honor has not been granted since Eldorado came to power."But, I already have a wife," Isaac suddenly said with a smile, turning his head to look at Evie.When Sklyar heard that, her heart suddenly sank. For some reason, she suddenly felt a hint of sadness.Giffard cheerfully said, "That's not an issue. You just need to make the Princess the main wife."Isaac laughed. Giffard was taken aback for a moment, but then he laughed heartily as well.
Giffard sat beside Eldorado in fear for nearly two hours.Isaac's responses had all been conveyed to Eldorado, but he still hadn't spoken.Eldorado closed the last document and turned to Giffard, asking softly, "Giffard, this idea was yours. Now that Isaac disagrees, how do you plan to handle this?"Clyfford hasn't seemed to be in a good mood lately."Giffard furrowed his brows and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Isaac is indifferent to power and prestige. He just wants to live a carefree and leisurely life."The Kingdom of Vriweth is vast and boundless, and it can definitely accommodate a wanderer like him."Eldorado frowned slightly and asked, "Wanderer?""I mean that the general's mansion should let Isaac's mother go. When the Princess returns, it will be up to her to decide what to do."In the long run, it is more meaningful to maintain a good relationship with this person than to be on bad terms with him."Giffard's words left Eldorado silent for a long while. Finally,
Whether it were Talbot or Clyfford, their ability to secure a position just below the top but above millions in the Kingdom of Vriweth relied on more than just their skills.As soon as Clyfford spoke, Talbot immediately sensed that something was off.Eldorado had given Giffard a royal decree, which he could not reject and change.Clyfford, being a Regent, could not possibly be unaware of this directive from Eldorado.When someone asked a question they clearly knew the answer to, there must be something fishy going on!"The Chief Minister has already passed on His Majesty's orders to me. There isn't anyone in the world who dares to defy His Majesty's commands, right? Oh wait, Isaac is an exception!" Talbot said with a light laugh, his eyes fixed on Clyfford."I'm not sure what instructions Lord Hackworth has for me. Could you please let me know so that I can follow them accordingly?"Clyfford heard this and burst into laughter. Pointing at Talbot, he said, "You're way smarter tha
