�No, I think the plan is passable. I am just wondering how we can deal with Marquis Stan and Venion Stan.�

Raon started to frown after hearing that his plan was passable. Cale didn�t know that Raon was contemplating new ideas about how to make this more dramatic as he started to speak.

�The newly recovered Taylor Stan is currently increasing his influence in the Stan territory.�

Taylor Stan, who had recovered the use of his legs through the help of the crown prince, was increasing his influence at a scary rate. The crown prince�s assistance played a big part in this, however, Taylor�s own skills and new health played important roles as well.

And Taylor had done something Venion would never even think about. Taylor had pointed his blade at the current lord of the Stan territory, Marquis Stan as well.

�His influence is not only inside his family.�

�Some of the Northwest nobles have chosen to trust him?�

Choi Han really was a smart person. Cale nodded at Choi Han, who quickly understood what he meant.

�Even the number of subordinate families who prefer Taylor Stan has increased as well.�

They probably felt like they could live at least a slightly easier life under Taylor.

In the past, Taylor�s weak body made them feel like he would bring down the glory of the Stan territory, however, that weakness had disappeared, and Taylor had also pulled in the crown prince. That was why people were slowly starting to trust that Taylor could be the next Marquis.

Of course, Cale didn�t know too much of the details. He had not contacted the crazy priestess Cage nor Taylor for a while. He just asked the crown prince for a general overview of the situation.

�The Marquis is just allowing that to happen?�

�He would no longer be the lord of the territory if he stopped Taylor.�

Choi Han became confused. Cale started to explain how the Marquis�s family was able to become known as cruel and cold but efficient.

�The Stan family�s motto is pretty much, �survival of the fittest.� They believe the successor has to be the strongest child. Once they officially become the successor, they must kill their own siblings.�

For the Stan family, strength did not mean physical strength nor intelligence. The strongest was the one who survived. The Marquis had not done anything, even when Venion had destroyed his brother�s legs.

�The Marquis killing that strong candidate simply because he is strong when Taylor Stan has not done anything publicly to kill him?�

The Marquis could only sit back and observe as he increased his own influence. Of course, he would still stealthily help Venion, however, he could not do too much, as doing so would go against the family�s rules.

��It is difficult to understand.�

�Then don�t.�

There was no need to understand that. Cale continued to speak to Choi Han, who was looking at him.

�We just have to do what we have to do.�
