Chapter 569: Calm Before the Storm

Just like Fiona, Tuzman had made a major decision that affected their family.
One was to join the Prince’s camp, help him succeed the throne, eliminate the dissidents, and revive the efforts of the Laurent family.
The other was to join Silas’s camp and fight for his coup and the revival of the Cook family.
It was also one step to heaven and one step to hell.
It all depended on the outcome of the collision.
After discussing it with Silas that day, Tuzman felt that his silent blood began to boil.
He had a strong motivation.
He started to contact the various families in Mithril City.
Of course, he chose the families that had opposed the succession of Gawain IV with him.
After the death of Gawain IV, these families all had strange thoughts.
When they were invited by Tuzman, they gladly came to visit.
When Tuzman told them the specific plan, they were shocked at first and then agreed.
Because it was in their interests.
Besides these, Tuzman also roped in many small families that didn’t succeed.
After all, cannon fodder and helpers were still needed.
Looking at the results of the recent efforts, Tuzman was very satisfied.
He was now looking forward to the arrival of the wedding day.
Dawn Castle.
The three of them were discussing the details of the plan.
Gawain IV took the latest information about the Cook family and asked the other two.
“What do you think Tuzman is doing recently?”
He was very puzzled about the movements of the Cook family.
“It should be for the wedding later. After all, it’s to invite guests.”
Garen had also seen this information.
Thinking of Fiona and Clare’s wedding not long after, he guessed that this was the reason.
“But hasn’t the invitation already been sent out? There’s no need to go to the trouble of getting in touch with one family after another, right?”
Zhao Xin raised his doubts.
“Maybe Tuzman values Fiona very much, so he wants to confirm the arrival of the guests?”
Garen raised another opinion.
“No, no, Fiona is still in the early stage of the Eternal Realm, not yet in the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm. The weddings of the two sides are not equal, so Tuzman doesn’t need to do that.”
Gawain IV shook his head. He didn’t agree with Garen’s opinion.
“Then why did he do this? Is he bored? He can’t be discussing how to rebel, right? Haha.”
Garen thought of a funny possibility and laughed.
He originally thought that Gawain IV and Zhao Xin would also laugh.
However, he suddenly realized that he was the only one laughing awkwardly, and the other two had heavy faces.
This made Garen feel that something was wrong.
He quickly collected his emotions.
“No way, what I said just now, you guys didn’t take it seriously, right?”
Garen carefully probed.
“You’ll know when you see this.”
Zhao Xin handed over a piece of information.
Seeing the butler’s serious look, Garen hurriedly took it and quickly read through it.
Slowly, his brows furrowed.
The information said that a person who had disguised himself had gone to the Cook family and only came out very late.
The next day, Tuzman started to act and looked for various clans.
“Do you think there’s a connection?”
“That’s right. The time interval is very close, so there’s indeed something very suspicious. However, we don’t know who this person who went to the Cook clan is.”
Gawain IV was having a headache.
As long as he knew the identity of this person, he would be able to clearly understand Tuzman’s purpose.
“Since he’s disguising himself like this, it’s obvious that he’s hiding something. This means that he’s definitely not a good person. He’s most likely connected to Tuzman’s actions.
“I even dare to guess that this person is Silas, who escaped from prison earlier. He found Tuzman because he wanted to cooperate with him and deal with us.
“The proof is that the family that Tuzman is connected to is either the family that opposed Gawain IV’s succession, or a small family that didn’t succeed. All of these reveal their conspiracy.”
Hearing Zhao Xin’s shocking words, Gawain IV and Garen were shocked.
They didn’t expect Zhao Xin to make such a guess.
It was too bold.
But they had to say, it made sense.
“I didn’t expect the other side to be unable to hold back before we made a move.”
Gawain IV sneered.
He believed in Zhao Xin.
As a butler, Zhao Xin had a lot of experience and was very knowledgeable.
Therefore, his judgment had a lot of credibility, not to mention that there was evidence to support it.
Garen gritted his teeth and said, “Although it’s a little hard to believe, we still have to take necessary precautions. If the Cook family really did such a thing, I will not let them off easily.”
Because if this was true, it would definitely implicate the Reigning family. After all, they were relatives.
This was absolutely unacceptable to Garen and the Reigning family.
“I believe you, Garen. They’re not with you.”
Gawain IV comforted his good brother.
“Thank you for understanding.”
It was fine if they didn’t know, but now that they had a guess, the three of them had to be on guard.
They decided to set up corresponding countermeasures to end the wedding.
Laurent family.
Fiona didn’t go to the trial church to rehearse these few days because there was no need.
But Clare came directly to find her.
This made her very annoyed.
So she pretended to be in seclusion to avoid Clare’s pestering.
As the days passed, Fiona could feel the medicine in her body dissipating more and more.
The more energy she had, the more and more powerful she became.
The initial stage of the Eternal Realm was loosening more and more.
She could feel that the time to break through the intermediate stage of the Eternal Realm was coming.
She was also about to truly control her own destiny.
In a hotel near the Laurent family.
Su Han was leisurely chatting with Artoria in his arms.
He was completely not as nervous as Tuzman and the trio.
He did not care about these things at all.
It was not that he was bragging, but there was really not a single person who could fight him.
If it were not for him wanting to deal with those black-robed men, Su Han would have prepared to go to other places in Runeland with Artoria to play.
He would also ask around to see if there was any news about other runes.
“Fiona’s wedding is in a few days. It looks like their dispute is about to happen. Aren’t you worried?”
Artoria looked at Su Han and asked curiously.
“What am I worried about? We’re just tourists here. Besides, with me around, we can help them cover their bases,” Su Han said with a smile.
“But we do have a very important thing to do.”
“What?”
“Buy clothes. The wedding is coming up. We have to wear something grand.”
“Eh?”
Artoria was dumbfounded.
“Go, go, go.. I’ll pay the bill now.”
