Bab 100: Prince Revaz's Plot (2)

"Hence, Your Grace, the enemy's real target is actually you and they're going to use Alice to achieve their goal."

From the enemy's original goal of making Argan the scapegoat and getting rid of Kalliope, an outsider, who posed a great threat to become the duke as the enemy's aim. Leonard Angwin smoothly lied through his teeth without an ounce of doubt.

Perhaps it was his natural slyness or it could be the talent that had been drilled from working in the palace. After all, despite the glorious sight and the temptation of power the golden throne might have, the palace was a notorious ground of wolves and foxes.

Words could be twisted and lies could be composed. In the end, it was a matter of whose status was higher and whose tongue was more eloquent. Leonard Angwin as the second prince's personal attendant was, of course, a man of intelligence. Thus, Prince Revaz had chosen him as the messenger to convince the duke instead of asking another subordinate.
