Chapter 182: Decisive Spade (1)
Even when he was only a Crown Prince, it was necessary for Spade to study the history of the noble houses that would soon be under his rule. And that was not included in knowing the history of the empire itself or the world’s current or past situation.
It was for him to know their allies and competitions; even the Empire, which was said to hold the hegemony in the world, needed balance for the world, or they needed it the most.
The House of Ford was a Marquis noble house that was also one of the most important noble houses in the Empire. And as it was also part of the Royal Faction, it was investigated through and through. However, noting that a traitor was revealed among their ranks, Spade recalled their history to see if he could gather some clues.
And instantly, he thought of something, and his eyes flickered. Was that it? Yes, he was sure. There was this event in the history of the House of Ford. It was a tradition among the nobles to appoint an alpha as their heir, and during that time, there was only an omega from their direct descendant.
As much as possible, the current Marquis didn’t want to take a descendant from a side branch to be an heir. As a result, for the first time, an omega became an heir. This was based on different considerations and compromises.
And the then omega Marquis married an alpha of commoner origin, but their son carried the noble name. It was a huge spectacle among nobles before, but it soon became forgotten, and throughout the years, as they produced alpha heirs, no one really thought of that even from decades ago anymore.
He felt like he wanted to laugh. Was this fate joking at them? That was too simple to even catch the eye of anyone. At a glance, it wasn’t even suspicious in Spade’s eyes, so how could the rulers then think that something like this would happen in the future?
To think that someone really sneaked in at that time and bided their time was truly scary. Just how much insanity and desire did one need for it to be passed down from generation to generation?
Was it from their glory of the past? It didn’t make sense for him. Spade stared at Ivo; he was thinking of something else. Even now that he knew who the leader was, he couldn’t be too hasty.
