After giving the book to them, Count Leinberd hurriedly made two copies of the book. They were for the Supreme Devil Organization and the Royal Family.
Meanwhile, he was planning to hold one of them for himself to use as leverage.
Count Leinberd didn't realize that he had completely fallen into Noel's traps. The book in his possession was already a fake or a lie. And with him tweaking the information, it had become a lie of a lie.
It soon became a vicious cycle where the lies overwhelmed the truth to the point no one could see the truth anymore.
There were currently two teams with the books. The first team was Marquis Walford's team.
Since they were going to send the book directly to the marquis, the group didn't hesitate to leave the city as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, the second group was Count Leinberd's elite team.
They were heading straight to the royal capital. Since the marquis team had left, they didn't know that Count Leinberd was scheming something.
Hence, it was supposed to be a peaceful trip.
However, Count Leinberd didn't know that he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.
During their trip, the entire group was annihilated.
And there was one man standing on top of their corpses. It was the Third Prince.
He was unleashing his anger by killing all of them. It seemed that the masked man wasn't the only subordinate he had with him. A middle-aged man came to him and politely handed the books. "I believe these are the books."
The Third Prince looked at him coldly before grabbing the book, looking at the content. After seeing some similarity to what he had learned from observing Noel and the Spirit Enchantment, he thought this was the real book.
"Good. It seems that we have received what we came for. Still, why is he sending the marquis' people away with another book…" The Third Prince looked down, misunderstanding Count Leinberd's intention. "It seems that Count Leinberd plans to spread the books to gain massive influence from multiple nobles. Judging from the direction where this group is going… They must be trying to contact the royal family…
"I see. This Count Leinberd is trying to bite off more than he can chew." The Third Prince looked at this book. "This book might be a fake as well."
"Sir…" The middle-aged man's body became tense, knowing what it meant to give a fake thing to the Royal Family.
"Yeah. There is also a rumor about them cooperating with the Supreme Devil Organization. It seems that I have to visit both of them personally."
"I'm ready to accompany you." The middle-aged man politely bowed. His expression darkened as if he was angry about something.
"You should know that the one who killed your disciple was not me, but Count Leinberd and Marquis Walford. Let's visit them and demand their explanation. But before that, I want you to investigate their behaviors first. I don't know who has the real book, so we're not going to alarm them before getting the real book first."
"Understood." The middle-aged man disappeared. He was a far stronger expert than the masked man since he was a Spirit Grandmaster. And it seemed that this Spirit Grandmaster had set his eyes upon Count Leinberd and Marquis Walford.
Little did everyone know, the brothel had begun their move as well.
Noel also shared some secrets about the book. So, the brothel was the first to spread the rumor about the knowledge in Count Leinberd's territory. Obviously, they planned to do the same thing after Marquis Walford received the book.
Countess Christina had also sent a few people to help spread the knowledge. They had to be the real knowledge since she had agreed to Noel's condition.
This information eventually reached both the Count's ears and the Third Prince's ears. They were angry about two different things.
The Third Prince was angry because he wanted to monopolize the knowledge to gain supreme power. So, this information made him want to butcher the Count.
On the other hand, the Count was angry because he didn't mean to have this knowledge spread. After all, it would just lessen the importance of the book. He wanted to reap all the benefits, so he immediately tried to lock down the city, blocking all kinds of information from going out.
But it didn't stop there. The Marquis ended up receiving the book before the knowledge began to spread, making him think that the people who brought the book were the ones leaking the information.
And at that time, the Third Prince thought the Count and the Marquis were in cahoots, trying to manipulate him.
In the end, he moved the schedule for their execution. As soon as he got the information about the two cities, he ordered his subordinates to assemble the assassins to kill both Count Leinberd and Marquis Walford.
Obviously, Anna and the Eternal Flower Brothel couldn't miss this opportunity. Anna and Illia immediately used the confusion to infiltrate the marquis' city to get all the information regarding the Supreme Devil Organization. Meanwhile, the team that Harley dispatched to help Anna would help them handle the Count.
The entire problem would soon become a bloodbath. And this would create a lot of chaos, not only in the kingdom but also outside the kingdom.
…
As for the one who planned all this mess, Noel… he was actually standing on top of a mountain with a huge smile on his face.
He took a deep breath, inhaling the fresh and cool air that soothed his body. He stretched his hands, waking up his muscles.
"Mhm…" Noel let out a small moan before looking at the beautiful sunrise from the top of the mountain. "Ha… I love this mountain. It's quite cool up here and I can see everything in our surroundings. I guess there's a reason why the firebird lives near! Then again, it's a firebird, so it's weird, I guess. Hahaha!"
He completely enjoyed his time here, not thinking about the entire mess he had created.
