THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 190: THE STRANGENESS OF GRAND DUKE RAYDE
"Grand Duke Rayde?" said Myro who immediately stopped working on the pile of documents on the table.
No matter whether Grand Duke Rayde invited Myro to an important party or not, Myro had to keep coming.
There are several reasons for this, namely that Grand Duke Rayde has a higher noble title than Myro, who is a royal, in addition they were in the northern region of the Azeroth Kingdom which meant the territory of Myro and Grand Duke Rayde was not too far away.
Another reason is that Myro is quite close to Loir who is the eldest son of the present Grand Duke Rayde and Herfu, the father of Grand Duke Rayde's wife.
Myro stood up from his chair and took the invitation letter in Ren's hands.
The letter was gold with the coat of arms of Grand Duke Rayde indicating how much he was in the kingdom. After all, not all nobles in the kingdom could use the golden-coloured emblem.
Myro opened the letter and began to read the writing there.
2 minutes later, Myro closed the letter again and understood the intention of Grand Duke Rayde's invitation.
Currently Grand Duke Rayde only has 2 children, Loir who is none other than the eldest son and Rilia, the 2nd daughter of the Grand Duke.
The party this time was made because Rilia was going to have her 10th birthday, therefore Myro as a close friend of Loir got an invitation.
Not only that, Myro's influence as a noble and military governor in the Azeroth Kingdom now should not be underestimated at all. Although there were still many people who had more offices and power in the Kingdom of Azeroth than Myro, but Myro's position was also not low so he could get the invitation.
"Why is Grand Duke Rayde now Carla? Isn't Grand Duke Rayde a man? Or is it just her name that's a little like a woman's name?", Myro asked confusedly.
Ren who was beside smiled "Master, you might not know but Grand Duke Rayde had been absent about 5 years ago. With the death of Grand Duke Rayde, Loir should have been the oldest child to continue the position, but at that time Loir was so young that his mother, Carla who sat in the position of Grand Duke Rayde until Loir reached the right age".
"In addition, I heard that Carla is only 25 years old now who is the 2nd wife of Grand Duke Rayde first. As for the 1st wife of the Grand Duke, it had not existed for a long time. So Loir is the son of the 1st wife, Rilia, whose birthday is the son of Carla, Herfu is the father of Carla and Rilia's grandfather. Although Herfu could be said to be Loir's grandfather as well, they were actually not blood related".
Myro slightly smiled knowing the strange circumstances in Grand Duke Rayde's family, he looked at Ren doubtfully "I suddenly thought about it, why was Loir sent to the border to help Herfu by Carla? Is it possible that Carla tried to kill Loir at the border so that he could remain Grand Duke Rayde? After all as long as Loir stays alive, Carla will lose her Grand Duke position as the eldest son is in charge of continuing her father's noble title unless Carla has a son as well. The problem is that Carla only has a daughter, she can't continue to be Grand Duke Rayde".
"There's such a possibility" Ren said, nodding "But if Carla was planning to kill Loir, why would Carla send Loir to the border where her father was a general, Herfu? If Loir was killed on the northern border where Herfu served, everyone would suspect that Carla and Herfu worked together in the first place to kill Loir in order to remain the Grand Duke. If I become Carla and plan to kill Loir, I will definitely send him to another border so that as long as Loir dies, Carla will not be blamed".
Although Carla most likely succeeded Grand Duke Rayde without the rebellion of Grand Duke Rayde's former vassals was due to Herfu's support of her father, Carla herself had to have the ability.
No matter how strong Herfu was, he was old enough that made many people think Herfu like King Azeroth V, could not live too long anymore. Although Herfu was slightly younger than King Azeroth V, he was still older than other nobles and officials.
"It seems like there is an unknown secret in the Grand Duke Rayde Family! Moreover, it was likely that Carla's invitation to me was not just to come to her party, but rather that there was another purpose" Myro said smiling "Ren, tell Yorou to get ready to bring her 100 students. We will go to Rayde City in 2 days, the party starts about 15 days from now so we have plenty of time".
"Well, sir", said Ren who left from this place.
Myro looked towards the window where Loth City which used to look like a dead city became very prosperous, there were a lot of people on the streets of the city.
"From here to Rayde City it takes about 10 days, I think I can get there in time before the party starts" Myro said "Are you there?".
Myro suddenly spoke in an empty room, other than Myro there was absolutely no one in this room.
But suddenly the figure of a person wearing black clothes covering his entire body appeared behind Myro, the figure immediately kneeling "Master, do you need my help?".
Myro was not surprised by the sudden appearance of this figure in the room, rather not only Myro knew but Ren, who was not, Yorou and the Myro higher-ups all knew that Lana always sent at least 5 elite assassins from the base to always guard Myro.
After all according to Lana, only the most suitable killer against the killer. Therefore, the elite assassins of the headquarters were definitely able to protect Myro even though their opponents were from the king's Night Scouts.
Looking at the figure of the man in black clothes, Myro immediately said "Tell Lana, I gave her 2 days to find out as much as possible about the Grand Duke Rayde Family right now. Before I leave for there, the information from the headquarters should already arrive in my hands".
"Understand me, sir!", replied the shadow figure who disappeared back in the corner of the room as if it had never been here.
Myro does not underestimate the Grand Duke Rayde who is now Carla, there is a possibility that the invitation he gave to Myro is a trap because Carla is afraid of Myro who is close to her son. If Myro supported Loir, he could definitely become the Grand Duke replacing Carla. So, there's a chance Carla might try to kill Myro at this party.
Therefore, just in case Myro should know as best as possible regarding Grand Duke Rayde's information before going to their territory.
