THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 208: WHO IS TRAPPED AND WHO IS TRAPPED?
Now the Grand Duke Rayde Palace is at its weakest because all the guards are busy guarding the walls of Rayde City. At first some of the guards suggested that they stay, but Loir refused.
After all tens of thousands of soldiers were fighting on the front lines, how could Loir only attach importance to his own life.
Therefore, Loir sent all the soldiers to the front line.
Loir is currently in the palace hall while observing the earliest photograph of Grand Duke Rayde, the figure who accompanied King Azeroth I to build the kingdom.
As Loir was busy observing the image, the sound of footsteps approaching him sounded.
Loir turned towards that collection of footsteps, the figure of dozens of people appearing from the front door of the palace "My sister, how did you get here? Good thing you're healthy, I'm so worried every day because you got Torte".
The one who came was none other than a young lady around 10 years old with a cute face, but now her face was extremely cold and there were dozens of elite-looking warriors following behind her.
The young lady who came was none other than Carla's daughter, Rilia "My esteemed sister, I don't think you're that stupid as to not understand what's going on right?".
The friendly smile on Loir's face disappeared very quickly, his face that was staring at Rilia also became cold "My sister, at least let me confirm 1 thing. Are you the one that Torte captured, the emergence of the 5th division and the murder of mom your plan?".
"Sister is indeed great, I am the one who did all that" Rilia said without the slightest guilt "At first I only heard about the Torte rebellion, so I immediately thought of this plan. Considering we're still a family, I don't mind telling you about everything that's happened. I persuaded my mother to let me go to another city for a walk, and then I acted as if I were coincidentally in a town near the territory of General Torte. I acted like a fool who knew nothing of rebellion, and then as I thought, General Torte ate the bait I gave him".
"I was captured by him so he dared to attack Rayde City and the mother became worried, however, the sister knew for herself about the nature of the mother who cares deeply for the family. General Torte definitely didn't dare hurt me because I was a bargaining chip with mom, so I didn't have to worry about getting arrested".
"When I heard about Torte's plan, I knew it wasn't enough to beat Mom. Even though mom cares too much about family, I know very well about how intelligent a mother who would not lose to a fool like Torte".
"Since you know that Torte is unable to defeat mother, you seek help from the 7th prince and the 5th division?", Loir asked without panicking in the slightest.
"Sister is right, but there is something wrong that from the beginning before the Torte rebellion began, I had agreed to go to the 7th prince camp as his support" Rilia said.
Loir looked at the sister who made him feel like he didn't know her anymore "Why is the 7th prince helping you? What's your cooperation?".
"Our cooperation is that he will help me become Grand Duke Rayde, instead I will give his full support through my territory as Grand Duke. Besides the one who freed me from Torte's hands is the 7th prince, isn't he a husband who cares deeply for his wife?" said Rilia.
"According to the news, the 7th prince was a suspicious person, why would he trust you?", asked Loir again.
Loir's face is now not cold anymore but replaced the sadness of "Jawab 1 last question, why are you doing this? Did mom and I ever do anything bad to you?".
"No, you guys are very kind to me" Rilia said shaking her head "But I am interested in being a Grand Duke, the problem is that as long as mother and sister remain then I have no chance at all of becoming a Grand Duke. Brother, I don't know why you keep asking, are you trying to buy time? Let me tell you, all your plans are useless! Kartaz or Grandpa Tarka on our wall must have been unaware of my arrival here and tried to kill you".
"Was the one who helped you come to Rayde City the Giro the traitor?", asked Loir.
"Frankly, from the beginning the Giro was the 7th prince's accomplice that I put next to mother. As I said, my mother is strong and intelligent, but she has a weakness that is her concern for the family. All righty! Our conversation is over, all of you, kill my brother! The sooner we kill him, the sooner victory is in our hands" Rilia said waving her hand.
The Giro along with dozens of people behind him stepped forward while pulling their weapons, ready to kill Loir.
Looking at all that, Loir sighed "Mother, as you said, I can't bring back my sister! At first I thought there might be a misunderstanding here, but it turns out that what you're saying is true. No matter whether you plan to kill Rilia or arrest her, I will not help Rilia again or try to stop you".
Hearing Loir's words, Rilia smiled mocking "Sister, are you crazy for fear of death? How could mother-".
Before finishing her words, Rilia's face froze as she saw Carla walking beside Loir "Didn't mother have told you, Rilia is thirsty for power! If you plan to become a Grand Duke in the future, you must lower him down first so that he has no chance against you. Not everyone like you cares about your family until you're ready to sacrifice their lives, there are some people who care so much about power that they're ready to sacrifice important people around them".
"Mom-Mom! How are you even here? Wait, Giro, what's going on here? Didn't you kill him?", shouted Rilia furiously.
Giro looked at Rilia unconcernedly then walked to Loir's side "Sorry princess, but I no longer support the 7th prince. Moreover, I did manage to stab Miss Carla in the heart, the problem is that I also knew Miss Carla was wearing armor before that incident. Not only that, I'm withholding my powers from harming Miss Carla".
Without waiting for Rilia to speak even more, Carla raised her hand "My son, what are you going to do now? Since the beginning we have known your plans and made appropriate acting, how? Do you feel mother's concern for you?".
Along with Carla's words, hundreds of Grand Duke Rayde's troops sprung from the halls of the palace.
They were all led by Kartaz. No more precisely Kartaz gave the post of defense leader of Rayde City to Tarka not because he believed in Tarka, but he knew his purpose in helping Carla capture Rilia.
Therefore, he gave his leadership position so that people do not realize Kartaz who disappeared from the walls of Rayde City.
From the very beginning, all the movements of Rilia and Torte were in Carla's hands.
