Chapter 313: It’s Easy to Blame One’s Misfortune on Others
According to Lucille’s father, judging from the Dark Emperor’s former activities, he would not stop with just Lahar. He might attack the neighboring kingdoms too and use this chance, with his fury as an excuse, to expand Valeria even further.
As members of the Council, Obrusca and other nations had to help Lahar.
After all, it was also a member of the Council. It was in the provisions that they were supposed to help a member nation from attacks from non-member nations.
If they neglect a member country in times of war, trust in the Council would wane and their influence could greatly diminish.
But how would they win or at least minimize losses against Valeria? It was akin to sending their soldiers to death.
Lucille’s father had sleepless nights because of it and he discussed it every day with his subjects and military advisors. Messenger birds from Medeus and other nations came every single day.
Thankfully, one day, they learned that Arabella was back in Lobelius. Her parents were able to find her.
Lobelius and Lahar tried to keep everything a secret but royals had spies here and there. It was normal for every royal family. Even Lucille knew about it since she was old enough to be a part of some of the discussions.
Arabella’s marriage with the Dark Emperor was set to push through.
Lucille rejoiced at the news. They didn’t need to go to war and she finally had a chance to be with Andrew.
She sent letters trying to console him but not a single reply came. And one day, a piece of terrible news came.
