208 Episode 16: Seizing power (1/2)

Carmine and Hoamel came to their senses as the crowd screamed.

In the midst of the chaos, they both shouted together.

”Carmine, you've got to be kidding me!

And they were both surprised to hear the same voice.

Carmine thought that Sonia was planning to assassinate King Hilderic II by linking up with Hoamel, while Hoamel thought that Carmine was using Sonia as an assassin to usurp the throne.

However, from the looks of his opponent, it seemed that he was not plotting against him.

”Hey, Sonia!　What did you just do to yourself, ......?

Don't move unless you want to waste your life. Sir.

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the most effective way to get the most out of your wedding ceremony.

”You can't think this is allowed to happen .......

Hoamel was also confronted with a sword by another member of the team.

The next thing you know, the 20 Red Wolves in the hall have drawn their swords and are holding the attendees in check.

...... No, it wasn't just the members of the Red Wolves.

There are also a number of other warbeast nobles, at least a dozen or more, who have drawn their swords and are threatening the other nobles.

Sonia and her party had completely taken over the venue.

”Father, if you don't want to die, please listen to me.

”You foolish ...... man, temporary occupation of this place will not save you from your own destruction .......

Carmine said with a pale face.

There are many soldiers of House Gethereia in King's Landing whom I have brought with me!　They'll hear what's going on.

”Yes, I know. Yes, I know. Your father exaggeratedly brought more than five hundred ...... soldiers with him.

This was for protection and ......

It was also to show the military power of the Geyseria family to the other families.

They were all fully armed, heavily armored, and elite.

”My Lord!

In the meantime, an armed knight entered the hall.

On his armor was the family crest of the House of Geyseria.

He came from a family of vassals of the Geyseria family and was an excellent Knight Commander.

Relief spread among the attendees: ......

However, only Carmine noticed something strange.

For some reason, there was blood on the knights' armor.

And that's not all.

For some reason, he bypassed Sonia's group and walked straight to Sonia and Carmine.

And he ......

He got down on one knee to Sonia.

I've got the castle under control, my lord. Also, there are already 500 soldiers from House Geyseria and 500 soldiers from our allied noble families, for a total of 10,000 on their way.

”Good.

Sonia had a big smile on her face.

Then she threw over Hilderic II's head.

”You can put this away for now.

”Yes, sir.

He grabbed Hilderick II's head roughly.

He is about to leave.

At his back, Carmine shouted at him.

”You!　What the hell do you think you're doing?

”Is this the Lord of ......? I'm sorry, but I must now fulfill the orders of my new lord, Master Sonia, so if you'll excuse me.

With that, he walked out of the hall.

At the same time, knights wearing the family crest of the House of Gethseria on their armor arrived in droves and took the attendees away.

”My former lord, please obey me.

”Obey me!　You have betrayed us!

Carmine tried to shake off the knights who were trying to take him by force.

But Sonia said coldly to her father.

It was your father who betrayed you.

What are you talking about? ......

The knights who serve our family have sacrificed much. But you have not paid attention to your vassals, and have spent your time fighting politics in King's Landing. ...... It was very easy for me to take control of the territory while you were away.

”What? ......

If Sonia was right, all of the Geyseria's territories and soldiers would have been taken by now.

It's not just that. It's not only that, but a number of noblemen have agreed with me. See?

Sonia said, and some of the attendees nodded.

Half of them were from Carmine's faction, and the other half were from ...... Hoamel's faction.

Not only Carmine, but also Joamel had been ”eaten” by Sonia's faction.

”My soldiers and allied nobles are already on their way to conquer the capital. Let me tell you, my comrades are not the only ones here. Rather, it is those who are unable to attend the ...... wedding who should bear in mind that there are many of them.
