Chapter 48
"With your insight, you must have a rough idea of what kind of people Juppe and I are. You must have also had Giselle’s advice."
Nikolaos spoke as if setting the stage.
I had my doubts. In the battle for the position of family head, it didn’t seem like Nikolaos would lose to Juppe.
Compared to Juppe, Nikolaos was cold-headed and intelligent. He also had the eloquence to skillfully rally both kin and vassals to his side.
"Please continue."
I crossed my legs as I sat in front of Nikolaos.
"If that bastard Juppe becomes the family head, I’ll probably die."
"Would he really go so far as to risk the danger of killing his own brother after becoming the family head?"
In reality, Arthur, who had fought with Hemillas for the position of family head, was still alive and well. His circumstances were just a little humbler.
"If one side holds overwhelming power, there’s no need to eliminate the competition. But the gap between Juppe and me isn’t that big. No matter who becomes the family head, the other will inevitably become an obstacle to leading the family."
As I listened, I came to understand.
