Chapter 143: ...The Road Forward Will Be Tedious

 "Hmm... how can I get rid of him without being exposed." 

 "If you'd care about my opinion, your majesty, you would have to wait longer." Regnier who was in a black suit, contrary to the white robes he would often wear in Resin empire said.

 "And your reasons are?" The Emperor asked.

 "From what I heard, the Maxnor house is one of the founding members of the empire, his peerage was not obtained by merit. So you don't have the power to take it away or else he has committed a grave sin, such as treachery." 

 "hm, looks like someone did their homework." 

 "You flatter me, your highness." 

 "If you are asking me to wait, do you have a plan?" The emperor asked, tilting his head sideways. 

 "You are the master of traps, I'm sure with your wisdom we can prepare something for him to feast on." 

 "You seem to be underestimating him too much, that man has sharp wits." The Emperor affirmed.
