Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1135 - 297: Kael’s Panic and a Conspiracy Hidden for 6 Years (10K)_6

To be honest, the first impression after meeting Marquis Gransham was a kind of contrast.

In Kael's memory, for a long time, he had demonized Marquis Gransham, picturing him as a beast with a terrifying appearance, difficult to look directly at.

But in reality, after truly meeting him, the expression on his face made it hard for Kael to see him as a guy attempting to harm the entire Federation.

At that time, the outbreak involving Marquis Gransham had begun after he joined the side of Sacred Briania, leading to intense conflicts during Frostfall.

Under such circumstances, even though he knew that Marquis Gransham would betray the Federation in the future, from the surface, it was truly hard to see Gransham Marquis as a traitor.

The saying "expression is born from the heart" holds some truth. A girl who loves to laugh and has dimples can convey a sense of a subtle smile, even when not smiling, leaving traces of long-term laughter, a difficult-to-eliminate micro-expression.

Even when rationalizing with oneself, using micro-expressions to deceive others is quite challenging.

Yet at that time, Kael never considered this question and unilaterally designated Marquis Gransham as the enemy.

But the situation now doesn't seem the way he imagined it.

Marquis Gransham is not only not a traitor, but also a warrior who valiantly chose to sacrifice himself for the Yibel Federation.

Such a person receiving that kind of evaluation from Lord Bartlett meant Marquis Gransham had long been identified by the Yibel Federation's senior management as a comrade on the secret front line.

"Has Marquis Gransham always been fighting at the heart of the enemy?"

"Yes, in order to infiltrate the Sacred Briania, Marquis Gransham had, many years ago, under the support of the governors, established connections with them. He is one of our strategically placed agents."

Upon hearing this, Kael softly murmured, "He's our friend~ He's our friend?"

While speaking, his expression became worse and worse, finally shouting angrily: "Lord Bartlett, are there any missions to complete here at the Floating City?

If not, I need your assistance in opening the Great Space Gate; I must urgently proceed to the underground crime scene of the myriad cities."

"So urgent?"

Lord Bartlett paused for a moment.

"Very urgent, extremely urgent, cannot wait a minute longer."

After hearing this from Kael, Lord Bartlett eventually nodded, beginning to utilize his spell constructs to build the Great Space Gate, then said: "Seeing you so eager, it must be urgent; go quickly, leave the rest to me."

Kael nodded, not saying a word, and then left the Floating City.

...

[Location: Yibel Federation, Duchy of Enguilance, Royal Capital]

Accompanied by a spatial rift's appearance, Kael illegally entered the border of the Duchy of Enguilance. Soon, members of the Lion Heart Battle Group noticed the commotion here and rushed over to investigate.

Upon seeing it was Kael who had arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before Kael could slightly recover from the nausea caused by forcefully crossing the Great Space Gate, he gritted his teeth, raised his head, and shouted:

"If you don't want problems to arise, then immediately start assembling members of the Lion Heart Battle Group; we're going to the Charles family!"

Kael's face was as dark as water, an unprecedentedly absurd emotion filled his heart.

Finally, he understood the source of his strong unease.

According to his understanding of game characters, it was evident that someone he used to see as his mortal enemy and the Federation's enemy should not have been Rezhe.D.Charles, the head of the Charles family.

Instead, it should have been the mastermind behind the scenes, Marquis Gransham, and Earl Campbell, who for the Duke's position eliminated opponents (the one who once dueled Kael, and the character controlling Count Bernard and the new Nobles group behind the scenes).

After all, after the Charles family was searched and exterminated, Kael, once a member of the Charles family, was very dissatisfied with both's attitudes.

In his mind, Marquis Gransham equaled villain, Earl Campbell equaled traitor, they were the ones who led to his early life of unease after crossing.

Moreover, from Kael's observations, Earl Campbell truly wasn't a good person; many of his actions were exceedingly unscrupulous.

Perhaps due to his disdain for Earl Campbell's nature, he never doubted the "setting" that Marquis Gransham was the big villain.

After all, given Earl Campbell's character, jealousy driving him to become Gransham's traitor was a real possibility.

But now, there's a gigantic loophole in this.

If Marquis Gransham was not a sly enemy collaborating individual but a brave warrior fighting in the enemy's heart.

And Earl Campbell, as Kael learned, upon knowing he might get outside help to remove opposition and gain a turnaround opportunity, would likely become a traitor.

Under these two prerequisites, Earl Campbell has reasons to use outsiders to eliminate competitors.

But... Why would Marquis Gransham want to kill off the entire Charles family?

Eliminate all impossibilities, then the truth is only one...

Earl Campbell is unaware of the full situation, a disposable rag used by Marquis Gransham.

But Count Rezhe.D.Charles himself has significant issues, forcing Marquis Gransham, the rear intelligence personnel, to risk exposure, borrowing Earl Campbell's stupidity to eliminate Charles family members ahead of schedule.

Then, after hiding the Charles family's situation, Marquis Gransham can feign conflict with Lion Heart Dukedom and later willingly give half of Gransham Territory's land to Sacred Briania.

After all... Such a person who offended the Federation's top level could only gain more significant trust in Sacred Briania.

It's a ploy-of-ploys, gaming the circumstances to make Marquis Gransham further gain Briania's trust.

After all... He's someone daring to wipe out a Federal Count's household, offend the Lion Heart, and even give up half his territory—what a madman!

At that moment, Kael finally understood the source of his fear.

"Within the Charles family, something significant must have happened! Must prevent anything from causing havoc at a critical moment!"
