Chapter 109
Soon after, Marquis Schmidt’s mind leaned towards telling the Emperor about Louisa’s information. After all, he was currently loyal to August. The sun of this country was still August. The Emperor had been considering the Lartman and Hamelsvoort families as thorns in his side lately, so why not inform him that Liv Lartman had sided with the Princess and make the Emperor even angrier?
The benefit Marquis Schmidt could gain when the Emperor was angry was simple. The Emperor would trust him even more because of this.
[To His Majesty the Emperor, the sun of the Empire.
This is your loyal servant, Marquis Schmidt. I write this letter because I feel I must inform Your Majesty of important news.
Two days from now, some nobles have decided to hold a meeting at the Wünschen Salon. Nobles who oppose Your Majesty will attend that gathering.
I leave the handling of the remaining matters to Your Majesty’s choice, but my blood boils at the thought of nobles who dare oppose Your Majesty walking around with their backs straight.
—Yours faithfully,
Marquis Schmidt]
“Duke Lartman, I’m sorry it’s come to this.”
Recalling a day when they had conversed intimately when Duke Lartman was younger, Marquis Schmidt put the letter into an envelope.
