"Let's assassinate Amaya Skyfall."
Gibson spoke with a worried look on his face.
After hearing Raguel's story, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand what that woman was thinking.
There were too many things that simply doesn't make any sense.
And since he couldn't think what she was thinking, he decided it was better to just eliminate that cursed bitch.
"I would gladly get rid of that bitch if I can, but why right now? Shouldn't we deal with Lovis first?"
Raguel questioned.
Gibson, however, shook his head,
"Amaya is a lot scarier than that little boy.
Look, we have no clue why she helped you in the first place, that must be where she started her manipulation.
The information she provided you was empty, she only told you about Duke Vestalis and Duke Merula, she didn't talk about Duke Centho at all."
"Is it possible that she did not know ab-"
"Trust me, if she was interested in the Dukes, there is no way she would not know about something like that.
She hid that information from you for a reason, as for what that reason is, I do not know."
After a little pause, Gibson continued.
"Raguel, I believe that you were only a little pawn in her actual. Her actual goal was to reach Thornton through you."
"Reach me? Why?"
Thornton questioned.
"Isn't it obvious? She wants to Kill the King for some reason, that is why she manipulated you through Raguel. You almost did what she wanted, didn't you?"
Gibson replied, Thornton frowned,
"But I don't understand, what does Duke Centho has to do with all this? Why leave him out?"
Gibson shook his head,
"As I said, I do not know, however, if she did that, she must have a reason. I guess there must be some connection between the two of them."
"Should we search for it?"
Duke questioned.
"You think you would find something? Thornton, you are dealing with Amaya Skyfall, the leader of Thousand Information Chamber, you would never find what she wants to hide from the World.
Trust me, if you find something that can actually be used against her, then you must have found it because she wanted you to find it."
Gibson spoke with a solemn look on his face.
"Aren't you mystifying her a little too much?
I don't think she is as terrifying as you make her out to be."
Raguel couldn't help but comment.
"Heh."
Gibson just chuckled at his statement.
Seeing that he was underestimating him, Raguel frowned and after thinking for a while, a smile appeared on his face.
"Didn't you say she wants to kill the King? Why do you say that?"
"Didn't she say that to you? She was the one who planted the seed of a coup inside your head. I am sure about this, she wants to Kill the King."
"Then why don't we just tell father about it, I am sure he will believe me and get rid of her. If there is one thing I know about father is that he is a coward, if someone threatens him, he would get rid of him or her as soon as possible."
A winning smile appeared on Raguel's face.
'Heh, it's not that hard to deal with that bitch, we just need to think a little.'
However, despite his seemingly perfect plan, Gibson wasn't impressed. Actually, he looked even more disappointed.
"See? I told you right? You shouldn't have talked with her."
"Huh?"
Raguel frowned.
"Look, Amaya is a lot scarier than you think she is. She is not strong, however, the way she plays with people makes her a big threat. Do you think she would reveal her motive to you so easily?
She would never do it unless she is sure that you cannot reveal it to anyone who could threaten her."
"What do you mean?"
Raguel frowned.
"Why do you think Lovis hasn't revealed that he has 3 Dukes supporting him until now?"
"Where did that come from?"
Raguel tilted his head in confusion.
"Just answer the question.
"Well… I don't know."
"He did that to protect himself. If the fact he is a man backed by the 3 Dukes is revealed, then he would be in danger since there would be people that would try to assassinate him in order to create chaos."
Raguel frowned.
"It would be revealed sooner or later, what's the problem?"
"Raguel, 'The Crown Prince is backed by 3 Dukes' is very than 'The Third Prince is backed by 3 Dukes' remember that."
"Then why not just reveal it to the King and become the Crown Prince?"
"That would mean that he is too scared and desperate for the King's Protection. Making him a bad heir."
"..."
Raguel thought about it a little and understood, however, he still couldn't understand one thing.
"What does it have to do with that Amaya?"
"Well, if you tell the King about Amaya, he would surely investigate and in one way or another, he would investigate the link between you and her, and soon, he would find out about the Dukes supporting Lovis.
Of course, that is the last thing we want and that is what Amaya is betting on."
Gibson answered.
"…"
Raguel turned silent.
He didn't know if Amaya had thought that far or not, however, he certainly can't tell the King about her right now.
No one can know about the fact that Lovis is backed by 3 Dukes, especially the King.
However, he had to do something…
"So what should we do?"
He questioned.
"Look, Amaya tried to manipulate us, we can't let her get away from this. Also, we don't know what she is planning however, we do know that it is certainly not good for us. Therefore, getting rid of Amaya is the best-case scenario in this situation."
"And you think that the all-knowing Amaya wouldn't have considered this?"
Raguel questioned and hearing those words, a cruel smile appeared on Gibson's face.
"She must have and I am sure she is depending on the Palace's security right now, however, what she doesn't know is that Palace's security is at all time low right now."
"Huh? It is?"
Thornton frowned.
He didn't have any information about this.
"It is a top secret. The King is busy with something else, most of his men are working on it and only the Four Minsters know about this. Even Amaya won't know about this. This is a perfect opportunity."
Gibson's eyes shined in delight.
"Alright, it is decided, we will get rid of Amaya Skyfall the day after tomorrow."
Gibson declared.
"How about we add Lovis into the Equation as well?"
Thornton questioned.
Gibson frowned a little and after thinking about it, he nodded.
It was a little risky, but it was worth it.
"Add that bitch Evane as well."
Raguel spoke.
If he was going to eliminate the competition, he was going to do it thoroughly.
He wouldn't let anyone become the King.
No one but him.
