Aarons' strategy quickly produced huge results.

After the third prince publicly announced that "the Kingdom of Cadia is preparing for war and is about to invade the border territories of the Empire", the Empire, shocked by the news, immediately sent a diplomatic note to Cadia.

After all, the war between the two countries ended less than twenty years ago, and the people of the Empire still remember what happened back then - so at this time, no one dared to say something like "Cadia and the Empire are friendly neighbors so there will be no war."

After receiving the diplomatic note, Cardia not only immediately denied the claim, but also decided to send an envoy to visit the empire in an effort to clarify this false rumor to all the people of the empire.

[The Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that the Empire will send a delegation to hold a formal meeting with the Cadian envoys, and the meeting place will be set at the western border territory that is rumored to be invaded.]

The Empire specifically chose places where the Cadians might invade to meet with the Cadian envoys. This was actually a small strategy to appease the people and suppress the opponent.

——Of course, the Empire will not give up its territory to others easily. Since you, the Cadians, say you don’t want to go to war with the Empire, then prove your point on this land that you want most.

"As expected, they are here... Who are the members of the imperial delegation?"

"The delegation is led by the Grand Prince Quinlan Armand and Duke Scott, accompanied by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and several officials... Marquis, it seems that our enemy is one of these people."

Obviously, Duke Scott is the most suspicious - as one of the three dukes, he may indeed have unpredictable ambitions.

As for the eldest prince Kunlan...it is very likely that he was just brought by the Duke as a smokescreen.

"Let's wait until they come over before testing them. Also, I don't know much about Duke Scott, Teacher Jiangyue, do you know anything?"

"The current Duke Scott is a fifth-level magician and the agent of the Magician Guild in the empire. His territory does not have any special products, but there are a lot of magicians."

Magicians are less in number than fighting warriors, and they can also be used to drive specific magic devices, so they can also be considered a strategic resource.

But magicians are human beings after all. If they are not treated properly, they will most likely choose to leave their original place.

"But I have met Duke Scott several times before. The old man is a scholar who has spent almost his entire life in magic. He doesn't seem like the type of person who would betray his country for a little profit."

"Maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse... Anyway, let's just assume he's the one causing the trouble."

Even if Duke Scott was not the traitor, he was one of the great nobles that Aarons wanted to exclude.

In order to protect their own interests, these nobles not only murdered Marquis Moti, but also forced the princess to submit to their rules.

So whether for revenge or to protect his family, he would not let these people continue to exist.

"My Lord, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has written you a letter."

Due to the fear that their spiritual conversations might be eavesdropped on, the communication between Aarons and the third prince has now completely changed to the primitive letter mode.

However, with Mo Qianyun who can use flying wings, it only takes less than half an hour to send a letter back and forth.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me see... Did the eldest prince contact him privately and say he wanted to have a private meeting with me?"

This matter is quite interesting.

Because of Klia's past disfigurement, Aarons originally planned to eliminate the eldest prince and the second prince together.

But now it seems that I might be able to take advantage of the conflict between them and the great nobles.

In fact, most people in the empire knew that although the empire was nominally ruled by the royal family, in reality most of the royal power had long been hollowed out by the fiefdom nobles.

The country's strategic resources were controlled by the great nobles, domestic trade was controlled for a long time, and even the new nobles appointed by the royal family would be secretly liquidated - the princes in the royal family must have been dominated by the great nobles long ago.

If the eldest prince had any backbone, he would definitely not be willing to inherit such a humiliating throne.

"Qianyun, please go again and tell Luo Lan that I can go to see the Crown Prince...but I have to choose the location."

The eldest prince must want to use this opportunity to completely break away from Duke Scott's control, and Aarons also wants to use this opportunity to eliminate Duke Scott.

"Teacher Jiangyue, what kind of person is the eldest prince on the surface?"

"You should have heard that the eldest prince has always been known by people from all walks of life in the empire as a friendly prince who loves the people like his own children. He often uses his own money to help the poor, so he has a high support rate among the people."

If this guy hadn't murdered his sister before, Aarons might really think he was a good man.

However, Aarons was also very clear that he created such a character specifically to lay the foundation for breaking free from the control of the nobles.

If he could really gain the support of the majority of the people, then the great nobles would not be able to attack him easily.

"Hmph, I want to see what's under his skin."

……

The Cadia delegation soon arrived at the border of the empire.

Since the Battle of Zhengrong was still going on and the honorary nobles were still fighting for territory, the meeting place was naturally set in the neutral city of Moti.

In order to prevent the Cadians from finding an excuse to start a war, the Fourth Legion specially dispatched three elite squadrons to escort the Cadian delegation into the city of Moti.

Many of the free mercenaries roaming around the border territory were also cleared out.

[The envoys from Kadia have already entered Moti City, and the delegation led by His Royal Highness the Grand Prince will also arrive in Moti City in the afternoon.]

For a meeting of this level, the empire's media will of course follow the entire process. Although the media is not allowed to broadcast live at the meeting, they will still report as quickly as possible after obtaining first-hand information.

[The Cadians, who had long fought with the Empire for this territory, set foot on this land again today—but the Marquis Moti, who had defeated them, is no longer here.]

Although most people yearn for peace, this talk will certainly not have any practical significance.

The Cadians would approach the traitors and make a false peace agreement - which would then be torn up immediately when the need arose.

"I can't stop this war...but I will at least find out the damn traitor."

Aarons sometimes wonders - if he can let go of all his worries, will his life be easier?

But he couldn't do it... This kind of character and this kind of code of conduct are proof of who he is.

If he loses these things, he will no longer be himself.

"My Lord, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has informed you that the First Prince will come to the Marquis's Mansion to see you in three hours."

"Then let's go. My safety is in your hands, Qianyun... and Yalu."

"Brother, it'll be okay."

——But when facing the enemy, I will not show any mercy.
