Chapter 124

"That is indeed a solution. In this way, the Second Prince will no longer dare to interfere in the Southern Territory." Ryan nodded slightly. "I suspect that these attackers were sent by him."

"Right! The unification of the Southern Territory should be done sooner rather than later. Now that I have already driven back the Western Barbarians, as long as our two swords unite, half of the Augustus Empire's territory will be in my hands, hahahahahaha!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, Your Grand Duke, there are still people around!"

"Oh, it's alright, that Saintess can't hear us."

"That's not the point. The point is that if I announce my identity right away, the Old Emperor will definitely take action immediately. The foundation of the Southern Territory is unstable right now. I don't even have a title. Who will obey me then?"

Ryan's idea was to wait until the empire was in chaos, at least until the Old Emperor's situation was exposed and the empire was thrown into turmoil, before making any further moves.

Only when things are in chaos will his claim to 'Vainay' have any meaning.

Otherwise, the effect will be greatly reduced, as no one wants war in times of peace and prosperity.

"Hehe~ That's why I wanted to find you, because I've come up with a brilliant idea!" Magana said smugly.

"Oh? What method? With your intelligence and wisdom, Your Grand Duke, it must be a brilliant and earth-shattering solution, right?"

"Of course." Magana lowered her voice and said, "Didn't you get engaged to that viscount recently? Grand Duke was thinking that once the Southern Territory is unified, you and Grand Duke should get engaged too. Then what's yours and what's mine will all be ours, right? With my reputation as Magana, do you think those nobles in the conquered territories of the Southern Territory would dare to rebel? Caslathdi? She's just an unlucky girl, we don't need to care about her at all. What do you think, isn't my idea brilliant!"

Ryan: "???"

"Anyway, an engagement isn't a marriage. Once I, the Grand Duke, seize the throne, I'll dissolve it then. I'll grant you the title of Duke, second only to the Grand Duke, above all others!"
