"What did you say?" The King of Dawn pushed away the dancer in his arms as he suddenly stood up

The dancer, a beautiful wo more than a pink silk scarf wrapped around her half-covered body, fell to the ground Though she was hurt badly, she did not dare to voice out her pain

The rest of the servants, perforlers also lowered their heads in panic The entire palace abruptly becaulped and said, "Your Prime Minister has rebelled"

"Are you sure he has truly rebelled and isn't just supporting those idiots on the outside?" Appen didn't knohether it was him who hadthe news out of proportion

Of course, he knew about the plans of those traitorous nobles—everyone who had returned alive fro's personal knightage as well as his miserable escape It would have been naive of him to expect them to remain loyal to the royal family

So support and for alliances with the three major families in the royal capital would clearly be their first choice Appen had long been wary about this, but he believed that, going by the characters of the three old veterans, they would most likely play by the rules and lie low behind closed doors After all, the king's city was still in his hands, and any act of defiance was tantamount to suicide

He did not expect that the first to cause a problem would be the Quinn family

The collision with the smaller lords had already violated Appen's bottom line Perhaps the old earl just wanted to leave a way out for himself or make a stand But no matter what the reason was, punishment was absolutely inevitable for such an impertinent act For exa his childhood friend on the spot

But what does 'rebelling' mean?

Earl Quinn is still in the City of Glow, and he has neither subjects nor soldiers here Does he want to rebel with just his dozen or so guards alone? That would be ridiculous Hoould he be able to rebel?

"The earl did contact the other nobles, but not in secret He issued an invitation!" The minister wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "And he publicly invited all the nobles to his mansion to persuade them to support the Quinn family!"

Appen was stunned and almost unable to understand the news he had heard

This move could indeed be perceived as a rebellion, but the way he did it was incredible!

Instead of asking for help fro them to support the Quinn fa?

He had already becoerous vessel that could sink any ti the support of the nobility? This act was undoubtedly going to turn both sides into bitter enerave act of provocation The sheer stupidity of the situation would only make those nobles look down on hiant person in the past?

Appen brooded silently for a long ti, "Pass my orders down Commander Duke Bachov is to lead the patrol tea him in front of me" "Everyone else in his residence is to be temporarily locked up in custody If anyone opposes him, he may kill the to explain this"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After this news, he was no longer in thepleasure He dismissed everyone in the hall and sat paralyzed on the throne

He didn't really want to drown his becaain with the roar of the sky thunder

The war that ended o had left a deep iet

No it was not a war, but a one-sided ht back
