“The Reformist Party is done for.” Rhode read the final line of the intelligence report and muttered under his breath.
It was yesterday when the core figure of the Reformist Party, also known as the Chairman of the Southern Parliament, committed suicide by consuming poison. This news caused an uproar in the entire Reformist Party and their internal department had broken out into complete chaos with some of them considering whether they should raise a white flag to the King’s Party. However, some of them insisted to hang on because the King’s Party army hadn’t engaged in any large-scale attacks yet, apart from putting up a show. Those who insisted hoped to drag it out as long as possible.
Rhode understood the reasons for such thoughts. The Royal Fleet had sealed off the Strait of Light and cut the Southern Parliament’s final lifeline. There were no doubts that they would be hung up on the gibbet by Lydia if they surrendered. Since the King’s Party didn’t attack, it meant that they still had some glimmer of hope. Although most of the parliament members had agreed to surrender, Rhode knew that they couldn’t influence the decision-making of the Reformist Party. This was because they were mainly external figures and if Lydia wished to settle scores at a later date, they wouldn’t be punished as severely. However, the consequences were different for the Southern Parliament. Once they surrendered, every single member in the Southern Parliament would be slaughtered and used to nourish the Golden City’s forest as fertilizers. Therefore, they definitely wouldn’t raise the white flag. They tried searching for a way of retreat, even though they had no choices left.
Rhode wasn’t worried that the Southern Parliament would be driven into desperate actions because there weren’t any more actions left. In the game, the Munn Royal Family was pestered beyond endurance by the South as they were bent on facing the threat from the Country of Darkness. But now, the border regions of the Country of Darkness was peaceful and the King’s Party could mobilize their trump card, the Royal Fleet, to block off the entire Strait of Light. Under such a situation, the Reformist Party would be blasted to bits if they tried to escape via ship. The other choice they had was to escape to the border regions and associate themselves with the Barbarians. However, Rhode couldn’t imagine these prideful ‘lords’ tolerating the banishment. Instead of suffering in those places, they were better off dying honorably.
“The problems that you’ve been worried about has finally come to an end.” A sweet voice sounded behind Rhode.
He turned back and Canary’s adorable face came into view. The young lady leaned on the chair armrest beside him and read the report in his hand with her usual smile.
“That’s right, Canary. The Reformist Party is done for. There shouldn’t be anything serious happening in Munn anytime soon.” Rhode let out a long sigh.
Although Rhode appeared calm and unaffected, he was actually really nervous deep down. Even though his arrival in this world had foiled several attempts of the Light Parliament in the Munn Kingdom and changed their fate and future, Rhode was still concerned. Although his familiarity with the game allowed him to have a unique and wide field of view of this continent, history, after all, had been altered and what presented before him now was a brand new, unknown start. Would the situation develop in the direction he had hoped for, or would the fixed story missions stay the same as the game? No matter which he chose, would it still end in the same way?
Such worries had been bugging his mind and he finally let them go now. He didn’t need to worry about the leader-less Reformist Party anymore. Lydia wasn’t facing any foreign aggression, and it seemed that she had clear ideas and goals in dealing with internal problems. The only possible way for the Reformist Party to turn over the tide was if they fled to the Deepest Labyrinth, awakened the Void Dragon, surrendered at its feet, and led the Void Dragon’s army back to the continent.
Up until this moment, the stimulation that Canary had been pumping on reached its climax.
“Mm…!” Rhode groaned and clutched the young lady’s head deep down, gushing out a burst of lust in full.
After a few moments, Rhode released his grip and Canary licked the remains at the corner of her lips gently, adding a few seductive charms to the pure, innocent-looking young lady. Then, she got up on her feet and sat on Rhode’s thighs with her legs spread apart. “Don’t tell me this is all, Rhode?”
“Of course not. This is just the start,” Rhode said evilly and thrust forward mercilessly.
“Ah…!” Canary moaned uncontrollably and embraced the man before her. She enjoyed the pleasurable pounding. “Haa…”
Lize ambled along the corridor with a rather gloomy expression. Mr. Rhode didn’t look too great and yet, he wasn’t willing to let me help… Could it be that Mr Rhode hates me? If not, why didn’t he allow me to check on his condition? Isn’t now the best time for a Cleric like me to come into good use?
A glint flashed in Lize’s eyes.
That’s right. I received a snack from before that can relieve fatigue. With this snack…
Lize walked back to the study room and when she was about to knock, she hesitated. Mr. Rhode might be asleep by now. Maybe I shouldn’t disturb him. I might as well take a peek and if Mr. Rhode is asleep, I will leave him alone.
The young lady opened a slight gap in the door.
