Chapter 121: Great Tyrant

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Alex’s people found him.”

When the old butler heard this name, he was subconsciously stunned.

—Who’s Alex?

As the butler of the Vidal family, his memory was extraordinary. The names, birthdays, and even preferences of the important figures who interacted with the family were all stored in his mind.

He could not think of who Alex was immediately.

However, in the next moment, he thought of something.

—It was the Eldest Prince!

The eldest son of the Emperor and one of the most powerful successors to the throne.

He stood in the Empire’s politics as a gentle and bold politician. He was benevolent to civilians and tough to foreign countries. Such a person was very likable. The people’s expectations were not small and the commotion was huge.

However, recently, the perfect Eldest Prince had been in trouble and had fallen into a scandal of privately trading with the elves.

He advocated not to move and sit back and watch the elves invade Goethe. He even reached a secret agreement with the elves and instructed the Goode family to ambush the Goethe diplomatic mission, almost wiping them out.

Although the rumors were groundless and without names, that was only for the commoners. Those who were slightly more well-informed knew that Princess Tina from Goethe had almost thrown a mountain of accusations on the Eldest Prince’s head and body. It was dirty and smelly.

Moreover, this princess who was famous for her beauty and talent had displayed extremely experienced methods and shrewdness in this long-planned revenge operation. She took every step carefully and took an unorthodox path.

By the time the Eldest Prince and his advisors discovered that something was wrong, the rumors had already intensified and could not be stopped at all. This was because the partners that Tina had secretly roped in were helping to add fuel to the fire, and the Eldest Prince’s political enemies were also secretly adding fuel to the fire. After all, the opportunity to attack him was not present every day.

In short, the Eldest Prince had been very passive these few days.

There was nothing he could do to Tina.

He could not refute or remain silent. There was only one way to completely clear his name—to actively push the Empire to send troops to fight the elves and interfere in the war of Goethe.

However, how could he be willing to do this?

Therefore, this became a dead end.

What could he do if he did not plan well? He did not expect a foolproof plan to inexplicably make a mistake because of a Cathayan. He did not expect the usually weak Princess Tina to be so decisive and ruthless.

Now, his enemies were not only Tina.

There was also the changing political situation of the Empire, those brothers who dreamed of making him fall completely, and the nobles and ministers who stood on their own sides…

“Kang De is not dead yet. The happiest person to know this is undoubtedly Tina, and the second happiest…” Leona said firmly, “is undoubtedly Alex!”

In the tent, she paced back and forth with the secret report.

The news was very reliable. The Vidal family had operated locally for a long time and was deeply rooted with a high status. Moreover, after obtaining the news about Kang De, Leona sent people to focus on keeping an eye on him.

“Alex’s dog is out…”

Leona cursed, “You didn’t go to the brothel at night and instead came out to snatch feces to eat. How f*cking incredible.”

The old butler’s expression turned serious, “The Eldest Prince wants to capture the Cathayan?”

“Of course!”

Leona first nodded, then shook her head. “No, the news doesn’t spread so quickly. It should be his dog taking matters into his own hands. Now, Alex and even the Empire are in a very sorry state because of Tina’s actions. If they interfere in the explanation, they’ll be guilty and pretend not to know, let alone feel guilty… Under such circumstances, if Tina’s lover appears, they must be in high spirits.”

“If he captures Kang De, he might be able to threaten Tina. Although I don’t know the effect, trying does no harm. D*mn, I can even think of what they plan to do with my butt.”

Leona looked at the information and list in her hand. Which one of the dogs of the Eldest Prince was in Vidal City and even the surrounding area? The Vidal family knew very well that the information described the lineup.

She thought for a moment and said, “This Cathayan is in danger…”

Although the other party had a record of flattening the Glory Sand Viscounty, that was only a viscount’s territory. That was not the result of a frontal attack. Relying on tactics, methods, items, temperament, and other killing methods, it was still different from pure strength… This pursuit force would not underestimate him.

The silver-haired girl said decisively, “We have to…”

“…Miss!”

At some point, the old butler straightened his back.

He said seriously, “If you want to lead a group to save the Cathayan under such circumstances, please allow me to be rude and offend you. I have to veto your orders and will.”

“Just as Master once said, investing and taking sides are two different things. He and Young Master will turn a blind eye to your betting on Princess Tina, and it won’t prevent you from sympathizing with Goethe. In fact, they won’t say anything about you planning to meet the Cathayan today.”

“But…”

The old butler said seriously, “This is fundamentally different from directly starting a war. Once you lead the combat members of the Vidal family to intercept the Eldest Prince’s people, this behavior will have nothing to do with business. This means that the Vidal family has to choose and take sides. This is the territory of the Empire, not Goethe. You’re the rational and intelligent successor. Now, please answer my question. Are you determined to interfere?”

Leona’s eyes widened.

However, she hesitated.

This was because the old butler was right.

She could not refute it.

This meant that she could not mobilize the loyal and powerful private army.

She slowly sighed, “I understand the logic, but sometimes, if we throw the rules aside and be bolder, we might be able to obtain a huge return. It’s precisely at such a time that our help seems more precious, right?”

The old butler said calmly, “With the foundation and strength of the Vidal family, there’s no longer a need to break the rules. We should become members of the law and benefit from it.”

He said, “Moreover, with all due respect, that Cathayan is not worth us taking such a risk to help… He’s not as important as you think.”

Leona said nothing.

She was silent.

There was a long pause.

The girl slowly said, “No, I think if we don’t take this opportunity to help him and win his friendship and trust, if we want to build the same trust in the future, the energy and price we spend might exceed our imagination…”

She sighed helplessly. “But this is only my intuition, so I can’t convince you. Butler, you’re doing your duty, but I feel that the Vidal family will lose something.”

The old butler bowed to her.

“Thank you for your understanding. This is only my duty. For the safety and glory of Vidal, I want to ensure that everything is done according to the rules. This is my duty.”

“However, my other duty is to share Master’s worries so that my little master won’t be too disappointed in the cold reality. It’s also a mission that the butler has to fulfill.”

A smile appeared on his lips.

“If you believe in the potential of the Cathayan and desire to build a good relationship with him and don’t want him to fall into the hands of the Eldest Prince, but you can’t take action because of your family’s stand…”

The old butler said, “Then I have a feasible suggestion. Although it can’t have the effect of helping you in your hour of need and can’t immediately establish a mutual trust connection with the Cathayan, it will at least maintain a bridge of communication. It can be considered a way to help.”

Leona said in surprise, “What is it? Hurry up and tell me!”

The old butler restrained his smile and did not keep her in suspense. He directly said, “Mercenaries.”

The girl was stunned for a moment, then said in dissatisfaction, “I thought you had some wonderful move. What’s the use of mercenaries? How can they defeat Alex’s dog? They will be captured alive and tortured. They will confess everything and implicate Vidal. I might as well send my own people.”

“Don’t be anxious, Missy. You seem to have forgotten something…”

The old butler smiled and said, “Recently, a group of mercenaries with special identities has arrived in the Vidal family. Their brains are not very good and they’re stubborn…”

Leona’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Those green-skinned people!”

She was excited for a moment, then frowned and said, “I know these orcs, but they’re not here to be mercenaries. Instead, they’re here to find something and say what the prophecy was…”

“It’s the Great Tyrant.”

The old butler said, “I’ve asked around. Some prophet of that orc tribe made a prophecy. He said that the Great Tyrant that has not appeared in thousands of years has already descended into this world. He will unite the green-skinned people of the world and bring unprecedented explosions and waaargh to the cubs of the tribe. Therefore, the orcs of that tribe went south to search…”

Leona looked confused. “What waaargh? What nonsense is that?”

“That’s what they said. After all, the customs and cultures of the orcs are very different from humans. We don’t know what those things are in their culture.”

The old butler said, “But this doesn’t stop us from using those green skins…”

Leona’s expression changed slightly. “—How can we use them?”

“Aren’t they looking for a big shot?”

The old butler’s smile became even more meaningful, “We can provide them with information and clues. We can say that we’ve recently discovered a very ‘wow’ mechanical tank. It’s very loud and looks very terrifying. The driver is a very ferocious and violent man who kills without batting an eyelid and is extremely bloodthirsty and violent. We feel that this might be the Great Tyrant in the orc’s prophecy, but another wave of ugly and despicable humans don’t seem to want the orc to find him, so they’ve already gone hunting him down…”

Leona nodded repeatedly, then remembered something. “But Kang De… is a fake, right?”

“As for whether it’s true or not, let the green-skinned people determine.”

The old butler said, “We’ll bring people to guard outside and let the green-skinned fight them. If they discover that Kang De is not and want to kill him, we’ll come out and deal with them. Then, we’ll be on good terms with him, kill the enemy, and silence him. All three things will be completed. It’ll be completely perfect.”

Leona smiled in satisfaction.

The older, the wiser.

The old butler also felt that this plan was perfect.

It was just that the pitiful orcs would be used very badly, but they were green-skinned.

Moreover, it was not a lie.

The butler thought of Kang De’s alchemical chariot.

That spray pattern, the decoration on the outside, and the colorful enchantment.

Even the old butler had to admit that that carriage was really cool and beastly.
