Chapter 519 Chaos
After Angus and Vega left in a hurry, Alan stood silent behind the door without saying a word.

"Uh-huh? Uncle Allen, what's wrong?"

Behind him, a girl in a fluffy white gauze poked her head out suspiciously: "Aren't you going to find Grandpa Weijia?"

"Something suddenly occurred to me."

Allen turned around, looked directly into Lily's eyes, and nodded slightly: "I want to go out now. You stay at home and wait for me or your father to come back. If you don't know what to do, go and find the place in my study. Read this book of Commandments.”

"Uh... well..."

Hearing this, Lily let out a cute cry, shook her body, and dropped her arms feebly: "I obviously want to go and play with Grandpa Vega..."

"I'll take you there when I get back." Allen hesitated slightly and responded seriously.

"Huh? It's done!"

Lily's eyes suddenly lit up.

Seeing this, the corner of Alan's mouth subconsciously raised slightly, but before he could fully reveal his smile, he withdrew his expression and nodded: "Naturally. Do what you say, this is the tradition of the Ketugeya family."

"Then, I'll wait for your return."

Lily lowered her head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Allen and answered seriously.

At that moment, Allen seemed to have hallucinations in front of his eyes, and the figure of his dead wife seemed to overlap with Lily at that moment, showing a gentle smile at him.

"Li..."

Allen's words stopped abruptly.His eyes trembled violently, and he opened his mouth wide like a suffocated fish. The depths of his throat slowly rolled, and he let out an inaudible scream.

"Huh?" Lily tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"...No, it's fine."

Allen paused, replied half a sentence in a hoarse voice, then opened the door abruptly as if fleeing for his life, left the Viscount's mansion in a hurry, walked around to an empty corner, and took out the treasure from his pocket heavily. A black crystal board was produced, and a complicated symbol was drawn on it with some blunt movements.

After waiting for a while, the black transparent crystal plate suddenly lit up.The voice of the Marquis of Lyria came from inside: "Allen? Is there any news?"

"Everything is in your plan."

"So, who was that man they were looking for?"

"It's Viscount Oakleyford."

"Viscount Oaklifford..."

Marquis Leria was silent for a while and chuckled: "It is indeed him."

"Then, should we contact the security team to arrest him directly?"

Allen asked softly, with no emotion in his eyes: "I'm worried that his words will affect my brother's judgment of you."

"It's okay, Alan," the Marquis said directly, vetoing his proposal, "Angus is far smarter than he shows. As long as he talks to Viscount Oakleford, he will understand that there is something wrong with this man. .”

"...Is it so obvious already?"

Hearing this, Allen showed a surprised look on the contrary: "Then why didn't you arrest him earlier?"

"It's simple."

After a slight pause, the Marquis of Lyria replied casually: "Because Viscount Oaklifford belongs to Prince Robert...and if nothing else happens, Prince Robert will become the next Emperor Titan. "

"But since you said that, there must have been an accident?"

"Of course!"

The Marquis couldn't help laughing out loud: "An emperor who swears that he will never believe in any god or accept the favor of any god? Don't be kidding, in today's generation, Robert will never be the emperor of Titan!"

Hearing this, Allen suddenly realized.

Never believing in any gods, this is undoubtedly a great advantage of Robert.

——Yes, you read that right, this is an advantage.And it's a huge advantage.

Titan is a country of the gods, with countless temples, and almost every citizen has their own beliefs.And with belief there is bias, and arrogance and prejudice are born.

There is no doubt that faith has no side effects for mortals.But an emperor who always looked at problems in a biased way would never be supported by everyone.And a king without any faith can at least guarantee justice.He doesn't favor anyone and instead makes it easier for people to accept his decisions regardless of his personal stance.

Even the old king believed in the god of rule and torture.When people make any judgments about him, they will take his beliefs into account and then make subtle adjustments to their evaluations.And when the God of Domination and Torture was criticized, he had to stand up and defend his beliefs.

And Robert doesn't have faith, which means he won't get support from the temple.But at the same time, he will not be blocked by hostile temples.

Those gods who see no hope for the throne can only make Robert the emperor.After all, Robert's position here is a just one. It is better to let him become the emperor than to let the prince supported by other gods become the ruler of Titan.

The former is no loss and no profit, while the latter is losing money. You can know at a glance how to choose.

However, up to now, all false gods have lost their authority, and now that the only faith has become Saint Laurent, Robert, who once vowed never to entrust his faith to others, is in a very embarrassing situation.

——But even so, he is still a prince.The authority of the royal family cannot be questioned.

But just now when everyone was preparing to downplay Robert's existence, he was still actively developing his presence.This sense of dislocation is disturbing.

It's as if he has absolute confidence that he can win the emperor's seat in the end.

...but how is it possible?

Not only others don't understand why, but even Allen himself doesn't understand.

But he only knew one thing, and that was that after Robert got involved, the matter gradually became more complicated.

Is Viscount Oaklifford the Ashbringer?What was the relationship between him and Robert?Why does the Marquis of Lyria look like he has the chance to win?What exactly are they trying to do?What do they want?
All this, as the entanglement between the two parties deepened, the situation began to become more and more chaotic.

Thinking of this, Allen sighed secretly, said a few more words casually, and hung up the communication.

He has already done everything he can do, and the next thing he has to do is to quietly wait for the final result.After that, Allen felt an inexplicable relief instead.

Thinking of Lily, Allen couldn't help but put on a gentle smile, and his steps back home became a little tighter.

It was also because he was a little anxious that he didn't notice the man in black robe who passed by him, and the silver-white hair exposed under his hood.
