Chương 94: Filial Piety

More experienced in court intrigues, Wolfgang was the first to realize Konrad's ploy.

"This is undoubtedly an efficient way to shift the wind and get rid of the emperor's pressure. But I have two concerns.

If we cannot show ironclad proof that the crown prince is behind the assassinations, this will at best delay the inevitable.

Unless of course, you're confident in subjugating the empire in this three-year timeframe?"

Wolfgang showed valid concern. After all, as the heir to the throne, the crown prince's status was below one and above the rest. Attempting to frame him without ironclad evidence was a pipedream.

"Indeed. Although at first, we might manage to get all the fingers aimed at him, without ironclad evidence. Three years is more than enough for the imperial family to suppress all rumors. Even if we can get testimonies from the assassins, the court will overrule it as someone attempting to smear the crown prince's reputation."
