The King was a little confused, but slowly, he seemed to understand. He looked at Isolde and asked, “Who told you what you said just now?”

Queen Mother coughed. “That’s not the point.”

The King pondered for a long time. “Mother, it’s not that I care about our brotherhood. It’s just that he hasn’t fully revealed his ambitions yet. What pretext do I have to attack? Besides, the generals in the court are exhausted, the soldiers are weary, and our food supplies are insufficient. How can we wage this war of rebellion?”

When Queen Mother heard this, she slowly sat up straight and raised her eyes. “When war begins, there will definitely be trouble. Now that Kamari is still young and has just been defeated by Oliver, any military general will delinitely be able to annihilate his ambition.”

“But, mother… “The King was also a little melancholic. “To be frank with you, I have already discussed this matter with Garrett and Harrison. We all agree that now is not the right time for military action. To mobilize troops, we would need to consult both the morning court and the cabinet. I fear that by then, everyone will object.”

Military power seemed to be concentrated, but it was extremely scattered. This was a huge disadvantage of the empire.

The King could use force to send troops, but only in a situation where there were external forces. As for fighting the vassal kings and traitors, it had to be discussed by the cabinet.

This was also the decree set by the ancestor. The purpose was to prevent sitting kings from being wary of their royal kinsmen and to avoid fratricide.

Now, Kamari was acting covertly. There wasn’t enough evidence, and on top of that, Pablo had just returned from war; the soldiers were exhausted. Waging a full–scale war would certainly be opposed by the cabinet.

If the cabinet opposed it, then they could not wage war internally. Besides, no marshal would dare defy the decree left by our ancestors.

Queen Mother smiled faintly. “Civil war indeed requires consultation with the cabinet. And once there’s any sign of military action, Kamari will definitely find out. Do you really think he doesn’t have any spies in the court?”

“Then, what do you think we should do?” the King asked.

Queen Mother looked at Isolde. “How many troops do you think we need to annihilate Kamari now?”

“Five thousand!” Isolde said.

The King said coldly, “What a fool’s dream!”
