Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Expanding Your Own Wealth

"Just one skilled Skill user is enough. My flaws were caused by Garen. Do you remember that Garen worshiped the steed? That was a created loyalty. After the training of the members of the technical team, he did the same to them before his own death." Chade shook his head slowly. "You think Regal would be stupid enough to think that the Red Ships would stop after they took over Bynes? They'd want Bucks and Rebben and Hux in the end, so what's left of him?" "There is also the Inland Grand Duchy. This is the only duchy he cares about, and the only duchy he maintains mutual loyalty with. He will have a large piece of land to block all possible invasions by the Red Ships, and he will probably believe in what they want as much as you do. It's not the land, but just want to continue to plunder. The robbers belong to the people on the sea, so they don't go to the inland to bother him. I'm afraid the coastal duchy is too busy to fight against the red ships, and it is unlikely that they have the spare power to deal with Regal."

"If the coasts of the six principalities are lost, and trade and shipping are gone, will the inland dukes be happy?" I shrugged. "I don't know. I don't have an answer, Chade, but that's what I've gathered so far from combining the clues." He stood up and poured the boiling water from the kettle into a large brown teapot. After the boiling water had fully rinsed the inside of the teapot, he poured in the herbs he had just prepared.I watched him pour boiling water over the herbs, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of the garden. Before me was a vision of an old man closing the lid on a teapot and placing the teapot and cups on a tray, and I wrapped up this moment of comfort, innocence and innocence, and kept it in my heart. some corner.Age was taking its toll on Chade more and more, like disease on Shrewd.His original agility was gone, and his bird-like alertness was not as sharp as before. This was an inevitable result, but my heart ached when I realized this.When he put a cup of warm tea in my hand, he frowned at my expression.

"What's the matter?" he asked softly. "Would you like some honey in your tea?" I shook my head and took a sip of the tea, almost burning my tongue.Pleasant palate overlays the pungent taste of elf bark, and in no time I feel refreshed and even the pain I barely noticed subsides. "Much better." I sighed, and saw Chade bow slightly to me, enjoying himself. He leaned over again. "That's too thin. Maybe we're just a self-absorbed prince who likes to entertain his sycophants when the crown prince is away. He ignores coastal defenses because of his short-sightedness, and expects his brother to come back and clean up the mess while looting the treasury And selling horses, cattle and sheep to expand his wealth, no one can stop him anyway."

"Then why did he cast the Duke of Bynes as a traitor? Kettricken as an outsider on purpose? Why spread rumors to mock Verity's mission?" "Jealous. Regal was always his father's favorite, and I don't think he would stand up to Shrewd." Chade's tone made me feel that was something he desperately wanted himself to believe. "I got the herb that Wallace gave Shrewd for his pain." "I don't doubt your herbs, but I think he added something else to it." "What's the point of doing that? Even if Shrewd is dead, Verity is still heir to the throne."

"Unless Verity dies first," I held up my hand when Chade was about to retort, "and it doesn't need to actually happen. If Regal had control of the Skill Team members, he could tell Verity anytime, anywhere. The news of his death, when Emperor Zun becomes the crown prince, he will..." I didn't finish the sentence. Chade let out a long sigh. "Enough. What you say is enough for me, and I will use my own resources to investigate it carefully. Now you should take good care of yourself, Kettricken, and the Fool. If your theory is even remotely true, You will all stand in the way of Regal's goals."

"What about you?" I asked quietly. "Why should we be so careful now?" "There is a room next door, which used to be empty, but now lives in a visitor of Regal, his cousin Ming Liang, who is also Farrow's heir to the title. This man is a light sleeper and often talks to the servants Complaining of hearing rats squeaking in the walls. Also, he woke up last night when the sneaky teapot rattled. Besides, this man was also extremely curious, and asked the servant if there were still ghosts in the buck Walking around the castle. I also heard him knocking on the wall, so I suspect that there is also a room here. We don’t need to worry too much, anyway, I’m sure he’s leaving soon, but it’s always good to be careful.”

I thought something was wrong, but if he didn't want to say it, it was useless to ask, but I still asked one more question. "Chade, will you still see the king every day?" He glanced down at his hands and shook his head slowly. "Regal seems to doubt the existence of me, which I admit to you. He is at least suspicious of something, and he always seems to have some of his men in ambushes, causing me a lot of inconvenience. However, we have to worry Enough has happened, let's figure out how to make it better." Next, Chade started a lengthy discussion based on our superficial understanding of the ancient spirits.We talked about what would happen if Verity was successful, and speculated about what kind of assistance the ancient spirits would offer.Chade's tone expressed great hope and sincerity, even enthusiasm.I tried to share his enthusiasm, but still believed that the Six Duchies had to eradicate their dissidents in order to be redeemed.It wasn't long before he asked me to go back to my room.I went back to my room and lay on the bed, trying to rest for a few minutes before dawn, but fell into a deep sleep instead.

For a while, the storm kept us safe from robbers, and whenever I woke up in the morning and saw the wind and rain beating on the windows, I knew it was a day to cherish.I tried not to be noticed, and even ate three meals in the guardhouse, avoiding Regal.Nor did I go into any of the rooms that Tanning and Zegu would enter.Yuyi also returned here from his Skill post in the Red Tower of Beans, but he seldom stayed with Duanning and Zegu. Instead, he often hung around the table in the hall, often falling asleep with half-lidded eyelids look.His antipathy towards me was not as intense as that of Tanning and Zegu, but I avoided him as much as possible.I told myself it was sensible to do so, but I also felt like a coward.I spend as much time with King Shrewd as I can, but I don't always feel like I get enough time for him.

I was woken one morning by a loud knocking on the door and calling my name, and I had to stagger out of bed and open the door to find a pale stable boy standing by my door . "Shou said go to the stables, go now!" He didn't give me time to respond to his urgent message, instead he ran away as fast as I was being chased by seven demons. I put on yesterday's clothes, and when I went down the middle of the stairs, it occurred to me that I should wash my face with water first and comb my hair back into a braid.I galloped across the courtyard, and presently heard the sound of arguing from the stables.I knew Hands wouldn't come to me for a little squabble between the stable hands, but I couldn't think of anything he'd come to me for.Pushing open the stable door, I squeezed my way through a chattering crowd of stableboys and grooms until I was in the middle of the chaos.
