"The cause the imperial family put forward was the safety of the heads of state. There is no place as safe as the Imperial Palace when it comes to dealing with demons."

"Isn't Lake Eslon where the demons appeared?"

Edwin laughed.

"It is said that the emperor gave the royal palace rooms directly to the heads of state. Are you sure about the Imperial Palace barrier?"

"Are you going to use the treason of Crawford to hold the leash of each noble family?"

Edwin snorted.

"It's not going to be an easy fight."

The Archduke sighed softly.

The emperor has no intention of letting go of the lords until he has captured Crawford.

As long as Duke Peyton is being held hostage, Evelynn will have no choice but to follow the will of the imperial family.

'At the end of the day, we have to point our swords at each other.'

I felt uncomfortable.

"This is not the end."

Huey's face suddenly darkened and her heart raced uneasy.

"The Emperor has begun cutting off supplies to the West."

"... ... !"

I stiffened, forgetting to breathe.

I thought the imperial family was going to press Crawford, but this is over the line.

"What nonsense. You mean to starve the people of the West?"

Beryl banged the table hard and jumped up from his seat. My heart was pounding loudly because I couldn't get rid of my anger.

"How can a person be the emperor of a country... ... ."

The archduke's tight jaw tightened.

"Currently, two-thirds of the transport routes to the west are blocked, and all of the upper-tiers that trade with the west are withdrawing under pressure from the imperial family."

"The Kingdom of Zephyrus?"

Zephyrus was a kingdom that bordered the West and traded with the Empire through the West.

"It is said that the kingdom has been asked to ban trade with the West and to detour through the trade route using the South. At this rate, all supplies will be cut off within two weeks at the latest."

"You're making a fuss."

Edwin leaned against the backrest and twisted his lips.

A dagger shining with a sharp edge twirled over his right hand.

"There are two tops based in the North, and they both follow me."

The Archduke, who had been pensive with his arms resting on the table, slowly opened his mouth.

"It may not be enough to handle the volume of the West, but can we still breathe?"

"If the emperor finds out about the truth, he won't let them go."

"As long as I am the head of the North, the North cannot follow the same path as the Emperor."

The archduke's green eyes sank deeply.

From the moment the emperor killed Isabelle, or even the moment Empress Seon poisoned the archduke's mother, the path between the emperor and the archduke may have been decided.

"I will never forget the goodwill of the North."

Edwin bowed slightly towards the Archduke.

"Even if the top of the North can help, transportation is a problem. The imperial family is blocking them all."
