There was a visibly empty region in this circular room.

Those were the seats of the northeast region�s nobles who were not here.

None of the northeast region nobles had shown up at the Grand Nobles Meeting.

However, the noble talking to Marquis Ailan was not fazed by this.

�Do not worry about it, Marquis Ailan. I was able to speak to the northeast region�s nobles associated with our faction earlier today. They said that they still wish to be a part of our faction.�

The corners of the noble�s mouth twitched.

�They should all appear soon, and they will take our side. I�m sure that they want to take control as well.�

Nobles lived for power in the end.

�They will pick our side if they want to live a long and peaceful life even after the war. I am certain of it.�

�Of course. Even if the Henituse household looks strong right now, they are just like a castle built on top of the sand. Since they are a newly rising power, they have no stable foundation. Why would anyone choose to stick to such a side?�

The nobles discussed all sorts of things.

At that moment, Marquis Ailan�s gaze headed toward the nobles of his faction for the first time. He asked with a stoic expression.

�Are you certain of it?�

��Excuse me?�

It was at that moment.

Screeeech!

The doors to the hall opened.

�Huh?�

The noble who was looking at the Marquis turned toward the door before his eyes opened wide.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sounds of many people walking could be heard.

These people walked in with serious expressions on their faces.

They were all walking in while following behind a single person.

That person was Deruth Henituse. JrNovels.com
