Chapter 48 Politics and Calculation

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Vlad was silent for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Tell me why Sybil is involved!"

As the words fell, the light in the entire hall dimmed instantly, and an eerie and terrifying atmosphere filled the hall.

At some point, a tall and plump woman in a black dress suddenly appeared in the council hall.

Looking around, it was the black witch Famke.

"Your Highness, this is not our work."

Famke slowly raised his head and looked upwards. When he found that the coldness in Vlad's eyes had disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief carefully.

Although Vlad did not show much expression, but at that moment, Famke clearly felt that he was not wearing any clothes.

It was like falling naked into ice and snow, and a chilling chill instantly invaded the body.

As he finished saying this, the inexplicable chill instantly faded away.

This made Famke, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, slowly let go of his heart.

"Okay, look up. I know you didn't do this. Do you know the specific circumstances?"

Famke stood up straight, looked at Vlad, nodded and said:

“Your Highness, our original plan was to start with the Earl of Grantham’s eldest daughter and son-in-law. We wanted them to disappear for a few days, so as to make the Earl of Grantham suspicious of the Vatican.

When the time is right, we will deliberately let them go and put the blame on the Church, causing a rift between Grantham and the Church. In this way, the Earl of Grantham will definitely remain silent about our establishment of a wizard academy."

"What we didn't expect was that this happened before we could even start our plan."

"So, you took advantage of the situation and deliberately made a big fuss about this matter, letting the whole city know about it, making it impossible for Grantham to suppress the matter, and thus taking your anger out on the Vatican!?"

Before Famke could finish, Vlad interrupted with a slightly gloomy tone.

Famke's rosy lips opened and closed several times, and finally, with a flickering look in her eyes and a slightly uneasy expression, she nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

For a moment, the entire council hall fell into silence.

After a long while, Vlad said, "Forget it. You can't be blamed for this."

Then, Vlad changed the subject again: "Where is the escaped priest, Solomon? Have you found any trace of him?"

Famke immediately responded: "He is in the monastery on the top of the mountain."

"The Kosia Monastery?" Vlad closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Dumitru."

As the words fell, a sound of armor colliding suddenly sounded, and a man walked in from outside the hall, bowed his head, saluted like a knight, and said, "Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

"I remember that Father Solomon has two daughters. You go to the Kosia Monastery and bring them back."

Then he turned to Famke and said, "You should know what to do next. Control him and get him into the Vatican."

Looking at Famke and the captain of the royal guards who were leaving, Dumitru, who had just been transformed into a vampire by him, pinched his eyebrows helplessly and sighed.

Day 3, Council Chamber.

Looking at Chief Minister Gramsom who left angrily, Vlad was silent for a moment.

Suddenly he turned to look at his uncle, the Minister of Finance, Count Lander:
"Lord Rand, we can start working on the wizard academy. Let's put it in the Kosia Monastery on the top of the mountain. It's a good place and suitable for wizards to practice."

Count Lander asked in surprise: "Kosia Monastery!?" "Don't worry, they will agree." Vlad smiled mysteriously.

Then he turned his head and looked at the chief of the imperial guards beside him: "Dumitru, order the whole city to search for the escaped clergyman. Since Deacon Lucian of St. Ann's Cathedral cannot give us a satisfactory answer, then we will do it ourselves."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Viscount John, the Duchy's military preparations cannot be relaxed. Although the old Sultan has promised not to recruit our children, we cannot always pin our hopes on their kindness.

Sooner or later they will come, and I don’t want us to not even have the power to say “no” by then.”

Hearing these words, Viscount John's body was shocked. When he looked at Vlad, his eyes were burning, and he said firmly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will not let you down."

Looking at the words of the Minister of War, Viscount John, who were clearly trying to get closer to him, Vlad nodded with satisfaction.

Because according to what Vlad knew, John's first son was forcibly taken away last time when he was within the sign age, and died on the battlefield.

If we don't want the tragedy to happen again, Viscount John will definitely give his full support.

Walking in the wide castle corridor that was like a maze, a figure appeared beside Vlad at some point.

"The clergyman has been cleaned out." Vlad said without turning his head.

"Yes, Your Highness, he will never appear in this world again."

"Well, as long as we can prove the fact that Lucian escaped, Grantham will not be an obstacle to us in the future."

"After all, Grantham is a very capable person, and his family is also powerful. It would be a pity to abolish him."

Vlad stopped and looked at Famke seriously.

"Continue to deepen their conflict, but be careful. I don't want similar incidents to happen again. Understand."

Famke's eyes were filled with awe and he nodded in response.

Then Famke said, "Your Highness, Solomon has agreed to become our man, but considering that our blood race is inside the church and is easily exposed, we only signed a magic contract to restrict him.

The price is to ensure her daughter's safety and to transform him into a vampire afterwards."

Vlad nodded in agreement. "Send his two daughters to the wizard academy. You will also take up a position there. At the same time, we will set up a wizard development promotion committee. You will be the chairman and recruit all witches to come."

Famke's expression brightened when he heard that, and he could no longer conceal the passion in Vlad's eyes.

Seeing this, Fred raised the corner of his mouth and said with a bit of disdain: "Why~ still want to eat me? As long as you can do what I ask you to do, it's not impossible. I'll give you a chance."

Fred forced Famke's slightly plump chin up and spoke ambiguously.

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the castle bedroom, leaving Famke standing there in a daze, his heart beating wildly.

"Whoo~"

"This Famke is getting more and more outrageous."

Vlad said this without any hint of disgust, because he was the one who was taking advantage.

Of course, maybe Famke felt that he had gotten a great advantage. After all, the imagination of these Westerners is sometimes difficult for even Vlad to understand.
