The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 81: Decisions made in the dark.

Lord Benwick moved towards the table with the map, it was a magic aided map, capable of showing every physical feature vividly. It functioned like a mobile screen touch screen, you could zoom in and out.

He zoomed in on the Windrider and Silberuss estates, "Is there a possibility that these two families are working together? It seems like most prominent families have been secretly searching for the shards under the nose of the royal family. The one who wields the sword, will rule the world, it could not be more clear what their intentions are.

However, can we trust in whispers coming from the camp of the crown princess, she owns the restaurant so all the information that goes in and out is likely to be filtered by her.

If we are not careful, we might be used as Sigrid’s sword to eliminate all the families that are threats to the Thorin’s. The only way to balance power is to have many strong noble houses, while they check and tear each other apart, the royal family remains strong."

King Raff moved slowly and stood next to Romilda. "The Thorin’s have halved their military power and are avoiding the limelight. For now, we don’t need to worry about them, our immediate concern is my granduncle Karlton. He has a strong enough claim to the throne and possibly a map showing the location of a shard of the Eclipsion sword."

Romilda stuck a knife in the side of the table, "There is no time to ponder deeply on this matter, we must make a decision now on how we plan to proceed. We must strike from the shadows, brother. We shall make it appear as if grand uncle’s family is conspiring with our enemies.

Plant evidence of their treachery, find a trusted noble or scholar to report the matter in court. He should be injured and bloody, looking as if he has just escaped the jaws of hell and he turns in the evidence. It will not take much for the nobles to turn on the Silberuss family."

Lord Benwick nodded, he expected nothing less from Romilda, if she had a plan then it was already in action, the dominoes simply needed to start falling. "It is a good plan but a dangerous one, if we fail, Romilda, the consequences will be dire. We will have given the Silberuss family a reason to rebel."

Romilda smiled cunningly, "Don’t you know better than to doubt my plans by now Benwick? Even though I plan to plant fake evidence of treason, it is true that Silberuss family has been in contact with Nemorian royalty. After Roland married Sigrid instead of Livia, they started looking around for other options.
