Chapter 456 - 308: Catherine Wants to Offer Everything (5)
"Right, Rose Vesper, I heard that within the Holy Court, not everyone is entirely loyal to Augustus," Catherine said mysteriously. "It’s said that Douglas of the Heresy Court has always been at odds with Augustus."
Rose Vesper scoffed privately, Douglas had long been a loyal subordinate of hers, there was no need for Catherine to tell her that.
"You could try to win over Douglas, as well as Gabriel, the Vice Captain of the Holy Knight Order, who has also been quite critical of some of Augustus’s arrangements. He has always felt that he is the one truly deserving to be the Captain of the Holy Knight Order, and that the current Captain only secured his position because of his close relationship with Augustus. Moreover, he is eager to see his son become the Saint Heir. If you could win Gabriel over..."
Gabriel?
This was news to Rose Vesper.
On the surface, this man always seemed cheerful, as though he didn’t take things to heart, and she had never sensed any displeasure towards Augustus from him.
How could Catherine know about the inner workings of the Holy Court so clearly when she herself did not?
Catherine, noticing the confusion on Rose Vesper’s face, scratched her head somewhat awkwardly, "I like to drink, and one time I got drunk in a tavern. Gabriel was there too, not daring to get drunk in the Noble District; he snuck into the Civilian District. After getting drunk, he did complain about his dissatisfaction with Augustus."
Who would have thought that this drunkard could actually be of some use?
