"William Ballard?"

Ryan looked at the report in his hand and showed a laughing and crying expression, "Seriously? My dear uncle has been abolished. How can he connect the little nobles to make trouble?"

Alisa rubbed her temples with a headache. "Of course it's not him alone. Heidel Rogner was stirring up behind the scenes. Cluchen State still has aristocrats who are not convinced by Eusses's management."

"Only the second branch of the exercise in Schalrant State is relatively stable. Of course... this most stable territorial also has many other issues to worry about."

"snort!"

Ryan threw the report on the table and turned to look at Earl Ferremont who was responsible for collecting intelligence. "Where is Uncle now, where is that guy Haider?"

Ryan was not very worried about Eusses. He believed that the young lord who was about to officially inherit the position of Duke of Elbarrea could settle the problems in his state.

Earl Ferremont handed over two other information, "Because the Duke opened the door, William Ballard still lived in the happy city of Lackville after being deprived of his title."

"But half a month ago he suddenly entered the town of Aragon Mine and lived in peace with the protection of the Guards in this small town with no entertainment."

"Since then he began to connect with nobles who were dissatisfied with the status quo of the nobles. Most of the superior nobles above the rank of earl were disdainful of his persuasion, but..."

Ryan tapped the table gently with his fingers and nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups. My uncle should have promised a lot of empty checks to these little nobles who are used to being arrogant and blessed, right?"

Earl Ferremont nodded laughingly and cryingly, "Master Kane's wise eyes. Although William Ballard has a very poor character, his oral skills are very good. With his previous decades of business, many little nobles believed his nonsense."

"Ha~" Ryan shook his head helplessly. "Lisha, please run away and ask your father to come to the office to discuss things. If he refuses... you will say it is a family matter."

Lixia nodded, "Okay, I'll go now."

After Lisha opened the door and left, Ryan turned her eyes to Alisa. "And what? What's going on over Haider?"

Alisa gritted her teeth, obviously very tired of this candy that would never give up.

"After the congress of the state, Rognath ordered the detention of Handel to be placed in the Marquis' Mansion for half a year, and he was only free from the Marquis' Mansion at the end of last year."

"When Heidel first came out, he was very honest. He did not cause any trouble every day except to go to major bars to drink and drown his sorrows."

"But when Angelica returned from traveling around the mainland... Heidel seemed to have accepted the instigation of some people and suddenly began to secretly incite the little nobles in Nothia to oppose the new aristocratic policy."

"Well..." Ryan looked at Earl Ferremont with a smile. "In other words, these bastards are layer by layer, and neither Heidel nor Uncle William are decision makers."

"Yes." Earl Ferremont said with deep eyes, "The people behind the scenes have such a deep understanding of the situation of the Empire states, and can promise conditions that are enough to attract people like Haider and William... In fact, their identities are already very obvious."

"Hmph~" Ryan sneered without surprise, "There are only a few possibilities under the Prime Minister, and someone is the most suspicious."

At this time, Lixia had already walked into the office with the confused Croval.

"Reinhardt, you said I need to make an idea for family matters, what's going on?"

Ryan said with a wry smile, "Father, I really have one thing I hope to ask for your opinion... Earl of Ferremont."

"yes."

Earl Ferremont respectfully handed the information to the former Duke Kane "His Excellency Croval, please check it out."

"Um."

Croval calmly took the report, but his calm expression lasted for less than a minute, and soon his face became ugly.

"Uncle...is so ignorant."

Croval gritted his teeth and said, "I have told him that people know that people are the most important. When he colluded with the reformists, I have repeatedly beaten him indirectly. Reinhardt, you have only deprived him of his title, and I didn't expect..."

Ryan rubbed his eyebrows and asked with a headache, "That's why I can't make a decision... After all, he is our elder. Do you really have to take the last step?"

"snort!"

A cold light flashed in Croval's eyes, "Reinhart, now the head of the Kane family is you, I will not say anything to your decision."

Croval said with a look of relief on his face, "You did much better than me after taking office as Duke. Under your management, Lamar State is undergoing positive changes that are almost visible to the naked eye, but..."

A sneer flashed easily at the corner of his mouth, and Croval's voice lowered a little, "Sometimes you must be decisive in killing and decisive. When the dying continues to suffer, don't give the enemy more opportunities to take advantage of because of your inner kindness."

"Huh~"

Ryan frowned and thought for a while, and finally exhaled a heavy breath.

"I understand. Sorry, let my retired father worry about politics again. Sure enough, I still have many immature places."

"Where, as you said, this matter originally involved housework."

Croval regained his smile, "Your growth has far exceeded my expectations, but some places have not been decisive enough and have some lack of experience."

"This time my uncle's second repetition is a big and small lesson. Keep it in mind."

"You are now in control of the safety of nearly ten million people in one state, even the four major territorial states and Crossbell. Don't make decisions that you regret because of your temporary indecision."

"Yes, thank you for your advice."

After seeing off his father, Ryan made up his mind and greeted with a cold light in his eyes, "Lisha, Sherron."

"yes."

"exist."

Looking at the two top assassins, Ryan ordered in a deep voice, "From tomorrow, you go to the town of Aragon Mine and Lurey, and capture William Ballard and Heidel Rogner, and I will conduct a public trial on them at the next month's Territory Conference."

"If it is inconvenient to capture alive... find an opportunity to kill them."

"yes!"

...

Late at night, the moonlight outside the window shone into Lisha's room. Ryan, wearing white pajamas, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the Port of Ordis, which was reflected only by the lighthouse.

The bright moonlight shone into the room. Lixia, who was turning over in a daze, suddenly woke up. The source of warmth that should have been beside her disappeared. Lixia immediately rubbed her eyes and sat up. The thin sheet slipped down from her ivory-colored smooth skin.

"Ryan?"

Hearing his girlfriend's call, Ryan, who was dazed and dazed, turned around and showed a faint doting smile on his face, which was originally blank.

"Sorry, did you wake you up?"

Lixia shook her head gently, wrapped herself in the quilt to cover her convex and convex body, revealing her slender and toned snow-white legs and walked out of the bed.

"Are you still worried about the decision you made before?"

"Haha~" Ryan hugged Lixia's soft shoulders who had walked to her side and said with some emotion, "I have basically figured it out. As my father said, I am still not decisive enough in some things."

Lixia leaned against her boyfriend's warm body and shook her head. "As a decisive person, his heart will easily be tempted by some distorted pleasure of wantonly controlling the life and death of others. As a killer, I know this very well."

"I think it is the most appropriate for you to slowly grow your mind and nature in small setbacks, so that you will not lose yourself in killing."

"Is that true..." Ryan smiled relievedly, and then picked her up with Lixia's soft cry.

"It's still early, why not..."

Lixia gave him a charming look, lowered her head slightly, and a seductive blush appeared on her face and said in a low voice, "Whatever you want... Just don't delay your work tomorrow."
