Capítulo 204: Unexpected Betrayal[2]

Carl said, "Yes, Adrian has something to do. And you can talk comfortably."

"… … ."

He told her she could talk freely, but Camilla didn't respond.

"Do you want to know what Adrian's role is?"

"… Are you going to tell me…?"

Camilla hesitated and tried to speak calmly, but her words ended up trembling.

"Yes, because you are mine."

"… ."

"Adrian must lead those who follow him and kill Aric."

Camilla didn't answer, but Carl spoke coolly. He said he would kill Aric, who had done so much for him and had Lilly placed in the imperial tomb.

"So I must give myself a reason to draw my sword. After I cut off Adrian's head, I will eliminate Adrian's followers, and while the divided nobles are fighting and weakening their power, I will sit on the throne and seize absolute power."

"The nobles won't just sit back and watch… right?"

At Camilla's rebuttal, Carl smiled. Camilla averted her eyes at that truly angelic smile.
