Western Court‧Cold Brother (7-8)

Chapter 7

After a few gentle knocks, the study door was pushed open.

The man who was deep in thought raised his head and glanced at the visitor: 「Edward, you're here.」

The gray-haired middle-aged man bowed down humbly: 「Good morning, Master César.」

「I said that we don't need to be so formal.」 César waved his hand, motioning for Edward to sit on the chair below him, 「I want you to kill someone for me.」

Edward's expression did not change, and there was still a smile on his lips: 「As my lord command.」

César stretched out his hand, holding a piece of paper between his slender fingers: 「Go kill Rey and do it cleanly.」

Edward was startled: 「You mean...」

「That's right, I'm talking about the crown prince of the Kingdom of Alinanan.」 César frowned involuntarily at the mention of this name.

「But... he is Her Majesty's fiancé.」 Edward suddenly froze, 「Master, you...」

César interrupted him in a cold voice: 「Do you think that the Emerald Kingdom still needs to marry to maintain the peace of the border? Her Majesty's marriage contract is a last resort.

Besides, the Emerald Kingdom and Arinanan will eventually have a battle. Why waste a chance to marry? The Emerald Kingdom needs a more suitable prince.」

Yes, this is my reason, César thought silently in his heart.

The reason why he sent someone to assassinate Rey was definitely not because he didn't want his sister to marry that man.

From a political point of view, this engagement is indeed inappropriate.

When Margaery was fourteen, Queen Aurelian concluded this engagement for her.

At that time, the Emerald Kingdom was in the midst of internal and external troubles. The noble lords in the north were in rebellion, and neighboring countries were eyeing the border.

To borrow Arinanan's soldiers, Aurelian had to push her daughter out.

Margaery is the Queen's only heir. Unless she dies, she will definitely become the ruler of the Emerald Kingdom.

After she marries Rey, the heir she gives birth to will also inherit the throne.

That is the heir with the blood of Arinanan. After a hundred years, the Emerald Kingdom will belong to Arinanan.

Aurelien naturally knew what King Arinanan was planning, but she really had no other choice but to make such a tiger-wolf agreement.

After that, the coalition forces of the two countries moved northward, ending the three-year rebellion in one fell swoop.

It was in that battle that César, who had just joined the army, shined and became a rising star in the Emerald Kingdom at the age of twenty.

After the war, the relationship between the Emerald Kingdom and Arinanan became increasingly tense.

The two countries were originally of equal strength, and each had the intention of annexing the other. As early as a few years ago, there were constant wars and small battles.

The marriage contract between Margaery and Rey just turned these fights from the open to the dark.

Poor Rey, that naive fool, has unrealistic dreams all day long, and his vicious father wants Margaery to marry him, give birth to an heir, and die immediately.
