Royd brought Gu Shengyin to the Duke’s mansion.
A person dressed as an Oracle, and a very beautiful woman at that, rode on the legendary Divine Beast, the Nine-Colored Deer.
She was brought into the Duke’s mansion by Duke Royd, who had never shown interest in won.
Either one alone was enough to attract countless people’s attention.
But when combined, this information was enough to pique the curiosity of all the citizens of Saint Veit City.
"Your identity is not ordinary; I will introduce you to His Majesty. You must understand, the path you will walk is not suited for close entanglents with n," Royd said to Gu Shengyin with a serious expression.
His status was extrely prominent, being the younger brother of the Lotte Empire’s Emperor and the Grand Duke who governed a vast territory in the southern part of the Lotte Empire.
In the eyes of outsiders, Royd was infinitely illustrious, but few could see the peril of his situation.
His elder brother, the Emperor of the Lotte Empire, was a lewd and incompetent man who took great interest in won, but knew nothing of state affairs.
He had governed the entire Lotte Empire into chaos, with his favored ministers controlling the court, while the talents of truly knowledgeable individuals were buried, causing the Empire’s national strength to decline in recent years.
The Emperor’s few sons were all talentless and fought fiercely for their own power, without sparing any thought for governing the country.
The Emperor had no opinion about this, but was very wary of Royd, his only brother.
His throne had not been obtained through just ans, so in his heart, he always felt that this brother was still clinging to the idea of claiming the throne and would one day bring his territory’s army to take back what was rightfully his.
Over the years, Royd had been cautious, not leaving a single loophole for the Emperor to exploit.
He was, of course, unhappy in his heart.
If his brother were truly a capable person, he could tolerate it.
But the other was a fool who knew nothing outside of pleasure and won, and this fool even constantly sought his life.
How could he endure!
He was an ambitious man, naturally having a great desire for power.
With so many layers of Seduction, what Royd wanted was perfectly clear.
The highest status in the Lotte Empire.
But in this country, the imperial power was very strong, and the people were very loyal to it.
Not to ntion that his territory’s army might not be able to match the Empire’s forces, even if he won, the citizens of the Empire might not accept him as a "usurping rebel" ruler.
So he needed soone, soone who could capture people’s hearts and turn all the unfavorable aspects into his help.
Then Gu Shengyin appeared.
Faith, more often than not, is the best tool to control thoughts.
...
Gu Shengyin listened to Royd’s words, froze for a mont. What did that an?
Seeing Royd’s cold expression with no intention of explaining, she frowned for a mont before realizing he was referring to Louis Wise.
Glancing at Royd, Gu Shengyin looked helpless.
"Rest assured, I have no other thoughts about that devout Believer, just admire his steadfast faith."
Royd raised an eyebrow, thinking you may not an anything, but obviously, he doesn’t think so.
Also, what does ’little friend’ an?
He glanced at Gu Shengyin’s young and beautiful face, moved his lips slightly, but said nothing.
