Because Nathaniel was dead, Marcus would soon be finished as well. By then, Callum would be the first in line to inherit the throne.

These people, too, would get to share in the rewards.

Callum was in disguise, sitting in the carriage at this moment. He did not appear as himself, but as a middle–aged man of about forty, sporting a goatee.

He wore very ordinary robes.

Rather than a noble, he looked more like a wealthy merchant.

After listening, he allowed a faint smile to appear at the corner of his mouth, exhaled in relief, and said, “It was only to be expected.”

After a moment, he added, “It’s bitterly cold; delivering messages is no easy task.

“But our intelligence cannot lag behind, so when you return this time, use the falcons we’ve trained.

“At today’s Glowsend Princess’s recognition banquet, if our people succeed, send word to me immediately. At the same time, instruct those at the Hadley family’s burial ground to act and send my second brother Avery to his grave as well.”

If that happened, everything would be simple.

Callum was filled with anticipation.

But that was only the best outcome; a backup plan was still needed. If it failed, the matter must continue. He was truly worried that Isander or the Southcroft Empire spy would discover something about him.

But with insufficient manpower at present, he could not spare attention for Isander.

“If things don’t work out with the Eames family, notify those in the palace to prepare and send in the explosives. As he spoke, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He lifted the carriage curtain, gazed out at the vast whiteness, and suddenly said something unrelated, “Only twenty days left until the New Year!

“Truly ruthless. He was referring to the King.

He felt that the King was cruel for confining him, preventing him from being involved in matters related to the Royal Examinations, and not allowing him to celebrate the New Year properly.

Yet he did not consider himself cruel for committing patricide.

After a brief silence, the carriage moved forward a little.

Only then did he speak, “On New Year’s Eve, Father will host a grand banquet for the ministers and the scholars who passed this year’s examinations.”

His lips curled upward, and he suddenly let out a cold laugh, “If I am not allowed to participate, then I will send them all to the afterlife together.”

His soft voice now carried a sinister undertone.

The guard asked upon hearing this, “What about the Star of Fortune?… After all, she is the Star of Fortune.”

Callum said, “Yes, she is indeed the Star of Fortune. Whether true or false, she can always deceive those below and keep them happy.”

Callum laughed, not taking Margaery seriously.

He said. “She is somewhat clever, but a woman’s cleverness is only useful for petty jealousy and rivalry in the women’s quarters.

“If she encounters anything else, she won’t be able to handle it.

“If she behaves herself, after I ascend the throne, I will give her a position, place her there as a decorative vase. One more or one less makes no difference.

“If she does not behave,” a trace of murderous intent flashed in Callum’s eyes as he snorted, “then she will die with the rest.

However, Callum never expected that his greatest enemy was not the reserved Dashnell, nor the feared Morales’s estate, Simon, the Eames family, or the Carey family.

It was Margaery.

At this moment, he was still full of anticipation, looking toward the direction of Yanzy City and saying, “My father may seem clever, but he cannot be thorough in everything.

“He only knows that there is a problem with the city defense forces, but he does not realize that this is a trap I have set for him

At this point, he became quite pleased with himself.

“He only knows to throw General Griffith into prison, but he does not realize that once General Griffith is gone, our people can take his place.

“He only knows to protect the Star of Fortune and has called Wilbur back to celebrate the New Year, but he does not realize that once Wilbur leaves, Yanzy City will become ours.”

His eyes were filled with confidence.

The guard also became cheerful upon hearing this. “Speaking of which, I just remembered another matter.

“Just as we left the city, I received new information: apparently, there’s sudden unrest in the Northern Desert, and the local commander can no longer keep order.

“With no one available in court, the King had no choice but to send Wilbur over.

“Wilbur didn’t even attend Glowsend Princess’s recognition banquet and went straight to the Northern Desert

Callum laughed outright when he heard this. “This is even better, hahaha!”

It was as if Yanzy City was already in his grasp.

‘Go back and report promptly. Callum snorted and ordered the guard to return.

He took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and optimistic about the future.

At this moment, it was already close to noon.

Chester had waited outside the palace for a very long time before finally meeting the person he wanted to see, a young eunuch dressed in blue.

After coming out, the two of them furtively hid in a dark alley.

“Well? Is there any news of my father?”

Chester was so anxious that his lips were covered in blisters.

The young eunuch shook his head in distress. “The palace has been tightly controlled lately, and not a single piece of news has come out of the Imperial Study. I only vaguely heard that Lord Seamus had met with the King.

He then asked in surprise, “But that was two days ago. Has he still not returned?”

Chester broke out in a cold sweat and finally shook his head, saying, “Not only has my father not returned, but Dominic has also gone missing.

“This is truly strange.”

Strange, yet not entirely unexpected.

He remembered the night Nathaniel was attacked.

After a family discussion, they unanimously decided that if necessary, Dominic, the abandoned son, would be sacrificed.

So now, had he been sacrificed? Or has something else happened? If he was sacrificed, why hadn’t his father returned? Was he implicated as well?

Chester was filled with dread, while the young eunuch also looked troubled. “Her Highness is not in the palace, and with no one to shield us, it’s difficult to take a single step. Now we’re practically blind, not knowing what to do.”

As he spoke, the topic shifted. “However, I heard that the King suddenly ordered Lady Freda to go pray, for a whole month.”

“It’s very strange.”
