Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 86: Anna's Cry
The Cliffords had many enemies, especially among the nobles themselves.that's the information I got from Charles based on the observations of the agents working in the field, within the Duke Conrad Faction itself, they did not lack any enemies at all.
there were many reasons why Earl Clifford had many enemies among the nobles, but the main cause was jealousy. the Cliffords and their cronies were often given priority in filling important posts in the palace as well as in the royal military structure. the only reason why they could get that was because they were good sycophants.
Clifford did not hesitate at all to kiss the shoes of those who had strength and power. In fact this was the nature of other Nobles as well.no, no, I think it would be more appropriate to say that this is the nature of a human being, perhaps.but Clifford is the worst embodiment of that nature so I think they are the most perfect human beings to destroy.
we immediately classified the nobles hostile to Clifford into three categories: the first is yellow, the second is orange, and the last is red.
the Yellows were a noble family hostile to Clifford but had no intention of destroying them. The group considered that although Clifford was a great sycophant, but they were still needed in the Conrad Faction.
The Orange were a noble family that considered Clifford a threat but did not consider that getting rid of them was a top priority for them.
the latter, the Reds, were the most extreme.they considered that Clifford was their main threat and hence, destroying the Clifford family was an urgent need for them.
I will leave this task to Charles and his staff. After categorizing these three things, there is still a task they have to do. make the yellow and orange categories into Red categories. I don't really care even if the methods they use are dirty methods though.
this categorization will make it easier for us to determine who we should embrace in destroying the Clifford family. I'm sure they'll do just that too when the offer to destroy the Clifford family comes from me.
as always, there are no eternal friends and opponents in politics.
I'm sure after this Charles will definitely take his headache medication and stomach ache. This kind of work is not easy because it takes a strong coordination between the office and the field agent. but I trust him that he can take it easy, Charles, you will definitely get a bonus at the end of the month, as well as your staff and other field agents.
ah right also, Charles has recruited many agents from all over the region.they have even entered into the heart of the family of nobles.Some work as servants, gardeners, gardeners, even their personal army.as expected of Charles, he was really hardworking!
meanwhile, I made another assignment for Nimitz. Now I made him focus on managing the La-Sa guild so he was not preoccupied with VIESTA. Since the Adonia development project is underway, we need a lot of manpower.I asked him to prioritize the residents of Clifford Region as a workforce.
I hope that most of them, especially those of productive age, exodus to Adonijah, working there, or even settling down. their greatest income comes from the taxes paid from its inhabitants, as well as the peasants who work for them. The loss of population means the loss of income.
Nimitz nodded and he didn't mind.he said he would rely on them for expansion and other projects.Thank you Nimitz, just like Charles, there will be a bonus waiting for you at the end of the month.
I also ordered him to cooperate with the field agents as well as the agents who are in the Office.It's a difficult job so I have prepared gifts for them.
meanwhile, there was no special duty for Hudson, but there was a possibility that there would be some clashes of fellow nobles so I asked him to alert the troops.
after walking for almost five hours, the meeting was over. This was the first time I faced the noble family seriously.I did not expect my plan to go smoothly but at the very least, it was, I will continue to watch my opponents' moves and continue ten steps ahead of them. With Clifford's destruction, I hope that the internal divisions of the Conrad faction will expand and that the position of Duke Conrad and Prince Lewis will weaken with the loss of one of their most important supports.

at the same time, when Issac was in a meeting with his subordinates, in a room that used to be a gathering place for noble children, chaos was brewing. Gustave Conrad was furious and blamed the failure to kill Issac on his own fiance, Anna Sera.
and as a result, now Anna was sprawled in the corner of the room because it was made a living samsak by Gustave when he vented his frustration.His face and all his limbs were bruised by being beaten all out by his own fiancee. of course her brother, Louis Sera, was at that place, but she did not even help Anna at all.
Anna did not resist.this was because she was enchanted as a naive, innocent, and submissive girl so that if she put up a sudden resistance, it would be too conspicuous.she did not think about her body, she did not think about her, but his heart hurts.
at the bottom of his heart, he blames Issac.that doesn't mean he hates him.not at all. he just thinks why doesn't Issac come at times like this to help him? didn't he say that he could release Anna from Gustave's clutches? when is he going to do that?
naturally, this was not the first time he had become a lively samsak. already more than ten times he was treated like this. Every emotion Gustave burst out, he did not hesitate to point his hands and feet at Anna. all this time Anna was always patient and did not fight.she also did not say anything to Issac because she thought it would make things difficult for Issac.
but he had reached his limit.the cry in silence became evident about it. This was not because of the physical.if the matter was he easily healed him himself.His heart had been shaken. he never showed his cry to anyone, this was the first time.
after Gustave was satisfied, he was expelled not by Gustave, but by his own brother.Her tears that came out of his beautiful eyes increasingly swift.
with a shunt step he came out. he wanted to sleep.that was the easiest way to forget the sick pepper he was suffering.he did not know what kind of face he would show to Issac. he just wants to sleep.
on the way out of the building, he meets Bernard.he often helps Anna. at least hold Gustave to not overdo Anna. Bernard looked at Anna with a face of pity knowing what she was going through but that was it.
yes, tonight, he wants to sleep if he can dream beautiful and do not need to wake up again for good.
