"Count... Count Evan..."
Count Brugen's voice was trembling. He finally understood why Count Evan had always hidden his whereabouts.
Turns out, he had secretly returned from the North Territory to White Dew City and probably established a consensus with Duke St. Prowse!
That's why during the meeting at White Dew Fortress, Viscount Fein never mentioned about the possible assassination of Marquis Vincent.
The prompt and decisive actions of Duke St. Prowse could only mean one thing - he had confirmed the death of his eldest son, Marquis Vincent, and determined to support his second son, Count Evan, to succeed the nobility.
Realizing this, Count Brugen's face visibly turned pale, and his eyes slowly filled with despair.
Following a long silence, he finally croaked out:
"Count Evan, have you come to mock us?"
Count Evan slowly shook his head and said somberly: "No, I just want to prevent the Eastern Territory from becoming a joke."
