Chapter 272 Grand Chancellor Wizard

Inside the royal palace, Chancellor Cavendish Houston frowned, presenting King Barry with ten suggestions.

After reading them, King Barry burst into laughter.

Chancellor Cavendish Houston seemed somewhat displeased and said, "Your Majesty, I don't understand why you're laughing so loudly.

Is there something wrong with my suggestions?"

King 'Barry' supported his youthful face with his right hand, sitting on the throne, looking down at Chancellor Cavendish Houston, and then he continued to laugh and say, "Cavendish, you're always too serious.

Why not relax a little? How about a glass of wine?"

Chancellor Cavendish Houston said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of drinking wine."

"Your Majesty, the situation is truly critical right now.

Even if you are the chosen divine being of the Storm God, you should… take the current situation seriously…"

"I suggest you revoke all the royal decrees you issued after returning from the Bulgars, and respect the nobles and the church.

As for the commoners… that doesn't matter."

The smile on King Barry's face disappeared.

He stood up, walked to the candle, and lit the paper written by Cavendish Houston.

"Any other questions, Cavendish? If you don't have any, then leave."

"I've organized a team of one hundred Storm Lord maidens, who will serve me later."

"You see, Cavendish, your Storm nobles brag all day long about being nobles and possessing a noble spirit, but in the end… it turns out that when faced with power, you're just as lowly as the commoners."

Cavendish immediately raised his eyes and straightened his back.

"Your Majesty, firstly, why say 'your' Storm Lords? Isn't Your Majesty the greatest Storm Lord?! Secondly, Your Majesty, you shouldn't have had any contact with commoner women before."

Cavendish sensed something was wrong from Barry's words.

King Barry's expression immediately turned gloomy.

Cavendish saw the two Storm Knight guards beside Barry with unkind expressions and immediately said, "Oh, of course."

"You are the King, you can do whatever you want."

"It's just that you, the King, enjoy those things alone, while I, the Grand Chancellor of the kingdom, haven't received a single share."

Only then did the gloom on King Barry's face disappear, and he chuckled.

"Cavendish, so you're not a block of wood after all.

That's right, life is about enjoying yourself in time."

"I've always had a maxim, unchanging through the ages: The meaning of life lies in enjoyment!"

"Alright, I didn't consider it thoroughly before.

Tonight, I'll give you five noble ladies, you should be satisfied now, right?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chancellor Cavendish Houston bowed and then left, leaving King 'Barry' staring at his back with a thoughtful expression.

Just after leaving the palace, a servant knocked on Cavendish's carriage, handing him a piece of paper.

As the Grand Chancellor of the empire, he naturally had his own intelligence network.

Cavendish opened the piece of paper in his hand, which read that Earl Peter had been ordered by the royal family to be arrested on charges of being a wizard, but Archbishop Morcilini personally intervened to stop it and was invited by the Storm Church headquarters to stay in Storm Keep for an extended period.

Inside the carriage, Cavendish showed a hint of a smile.

"This is the first time King Barry has gone crazy in Storm Keep and failed."

"Sunan Peter, you're actually the first noble to successfully defy the King."

A magical glint flashed in Cavendish's pupils.

"If you weren't a real wizard, you would almost certainly be imprisoned in the face of this accusation.

Only because you are a real wizard could you have planned ahead."

"It seems that I'm not fighting alone within this Storm Keep."

Cavendish fell into deep thought.

Their Power Lullaby School was deeply tied to the Storm Kingdom.

Their magical path was deeply bound to power, and it couldn't be separated from the Storm Kingdom.

More than two thousand years ago, when other magic schools couldn't cast even the lowest-level magic because there was no magic tide, their Power Lullaby School retained the most basic spellcasting abilities and maintained the most basic school structure by taking root in royal power.

Cavendish had long noticed something was wrong with King Barry.

Today was his last test, and he confirmed that King Barry was indeed likely not himself, or was… possessed.

Cavendish deliberated.

"I must contact Sunan Peter.

But I need to consider the method of contact, too direct will be observed by everyone."

"And I don't know if he's a friend or foe."

The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

Especially wizards, who are full of individuality.

Cavendish thought about it.

He had also planted many spies in the palace, naturally noticing the personnel changes in the palace, the imprisonment of the three queens, and… that the new queen would be poisoned to death in a day.

He also knew about this matter.

It's just that he wouldn't waste his limited administrative resources to save an insignificant new bride who had only become queen for a few months.

What he needed to consider was why those beings occupying the palace wanted to poison the queen.

…

When Sunan learned of the new queen's death and that King Barry was going to choose a new queen again, Sunan was visiting the Rost family.

This was an art salon held by the Rost family, inviting many well-known artists in Storm Keep, as well as noble socialites.

This time, it wasn't that the Rost family had any special purpose.

For nobles, holding salons was as common as eating and drinking.

Sitting in front of Sunan were two beautiful women and an artist, all painters in Storm Keep.

As an earl, Sunan naturally easily attracted frequent contact from these artists.

The two beautiful painters couldn't help but sigh when they heard of the new queen's tragic death.

Because the new queen died unclearly, her death left people with too much room for imagination.

"Men are indeed fickle.

The queen cried day and night because the king was captured and prayed to the gods in the church.

As a result, the poor queen died as soon as he came back."

"Men, ah.

But tragic love is the source of art.

I have inspiration again!"

Sunan looked at Earl Rost, who seemed to have the intention of continuing to befriend him.

Especially since he had directly violated the royal decree in Storm Keep before, and nothing happened, which was completely different from the Granville family, where the whole family was imprisoned and became fugitives.

Therefore, after Earl Rost investigated Sunan's hobbies and found that Sunan loved ancient and strange things.

He told Sunan that his family's salon had a portrait that magically moved under certain circumstances, inviting Sunan to watch it together.

After Sunan saw it, he immediately noticed something strange.

The portrait in front of him was a full family portrait of an ancient noble, but the problem was the books on the noble family's desk… were all magic books.

That is, a wizard had sealed magic books in the noble's family portrait.

Sunan's eyes became serious when he saw the name of one of the magic books.

He thought, 'This seems to be the magical inheritance of the Bronze School that the Shadow Wizard mentioned.'
