"Mother, haven't you been in contact with Anna Habbs?
You used her to remind the Grand Duke of the North that as for the church's assassins, they are all gone.
I don't think there is any need to say more."
Athena's last words were to test Lorne's purpose, but she actually saw something.
Lorne deliberately did not mention the assassins of the church.
It was obvious that Baron Fast was also waiting for the return of the Northern Archduke.
Judging from the man's recent behavior of constantly mobilizing the army, Athena couldn't lie to herself that Lorne Fast was a loyal minister even if she couldn't believe it.
Coupled with Celine's initial words, Athena also comes to a terrifying conclusion.
This war is likely to have an unknown relationship with Lorne.
And even if the man didn't directly instigate it, Lorne definitely encouraged Keira.
What is a traitor?
Athena always thought that it only appeared in the dark ages.
Unexpectedly, reality taught her a lesson.
Such an ambitious bastard who would not hesitate to split the empire to satisfy his own desires actually existed.
She secretly sighed that she had really underestimated Lorne before, but now it was too late for Athena to regret not cutting off the beast's head with a sword.
She was not great enough to disregard her daughter's life for the sake of justice.
She could only gather her mind and listened carefully to Celine and Lorne's arrangements.
Through the conversation between the two, she could learn more about the inside story of the Fast family.
For example, how many troops does the Fast family have?
What kind of allies does Lorne have?
But as the dirty mother and son talked more and more, Athena's mood became more complicated.
Regardless of anything else, the fact that Lorne still had contact with Castoff made the eldest lady angry.
She felt that she had been tricked by Lorn from the beginning, and when she heard Lorn say that he also had power on the Heretic Island, the eldest lady no longer knew how she should feel.
For such a complete rebel, Athena wanted to know when Lorne planned this big conspiracy.
But it was a pity that Athena couldn't get the important thing at all.
When talking about how to use troops, the man kicked her out as a matter of course.
Unfortunately, there was no chance that the things the two of them had discussed all night would be used.
Although most of the predictions have been very successful, after Prince Bruce and his gang once again received news of defeat, Sofia and Keira's statement to sever their relationship was issued almost at the same time as the Grand Duke of the North's declaration to bring order to the chaos.
But before Luo En gave the dead soldiers in the imperial capital any further direction of action, an unexpected piece of news shocked him to the core.
It was still Hayden who sent the message, and Lorne was used to Earl Harrison's behavior of running to him whenever he had something to do.
Just when he heard what the Earl was doing, Baron Fast wanted to strangle this middle-aged man to death.
And even though Hayden comforted him repeatedly, Lorne still showed his emotions on his face, and his words were not so polite.
"Your Majesty, you are not kidding me.
The Guardian Legion has only been established for half a year.
Our goal is to defend against the orcs.
What is the situation with this order to go south?
Are you going to let us fight the Stuart family?"
Lorne's face was full of displeasure, but actually the expression on Hayden's face wasn't that good either.
He spent a lot of effort on the new legion, but before he could meet the orcs, he was about to be dragged into a civil war.
If there was prestige and fame to be earned, Hayden might not be so upset.
The key is that this time the Grand Duke of the North personally leads the team, and he can only act as an assistant at most.
Hearing that the Stuart family was victorious, although Hayden did not think that the northern army would lose to the Southerners, losses were certainly unavoidable.
Naturally, Earl Harrison felt the same as Lorne in this kind of battle where he would suffer big losses if he lost and gain nothing if he won.
But Hayden is Lorne's senior after all.
As a veteran family in the north, he cannot complain like Lorne.

He even had to pretend to think about the overall situation as he tried to persuade Lorne.
"Most of the troops in the north will be left to guard against the orcs, and we are the only ones who have not yet formally appointed us.
But our Guardian Legion is not the only one to attack this time.
The four marquis and the Habs family all have their troops heading south.
A conservative estimate is that our army this time will number 100,000 people.
And they are all elites from each family.
I think this time it is just a show.
After seeing our army in the north, the Stuart family will definitely surrender.
The Baron goes south with us."
"What?"
As if he heard something incredible, Lorne interrupted Hayden rudely, "When did I say I would go south by myself?"
Keira must have known that he was not dead.
She could avoid the wrath of His Majesty the Pope by hiding in the grassland.
If he goes south with the Duke of the North, wouldn't he stick his head out and let Keira chop it off?
If His Majesty the Pope really wants to use assassination as a means of assassination, the target will definitely not mind taking him along except the Grand Duke of the North.
And if there is a personal vendetta, Keira will definitely hate him more than anyone in the North.
The reason?
Of course it was him, a beast, who ruined his carefully cultivated niece.
Just a dozen days ago, Fanny gave birth to a big fat boy for him.
Of course, Lorne didn't expect Keira to show mercy to him for the sake of the child, and the Purcell family wouldn't recognize him as their son-in-law.
But Hayden didn't know about this, and he was a little unhappy when he saw Lorne's big reaction.
"Baron, you must know that you are a member of the North.
Now that the Habs family has issued a summons, are you going to disobey it?"
The stern Earl Harrison was indeed a bit majestic, but if it weren't for the fact that the Earl brought many soldiers, Lorne might have slapped him.
But now, Baron Fast is naturally a part of the North, and this guy's reasons are very good.
"The mission of the people of the North is to stop the invasion of the orcs and turn their weapons on their compatriots.
Please explain to the Grand Duke on my behalf.
Just say that I am not feeling well."
To actually tell such an unfounded lie in front of him, if Hayden really followed Lorne's instructions and reported to the Grand Duke of the North.
Don't tell me anything happened to Lorne, he will definitely not be easy either.
"The unwell Baron will not forget his current sensitive identity."
He reminded Lorne that he still has the identity of a church lackey, but it would not be good for Hayden to offend Lorne to death in one go, so Lorne thought for a moment.
After thinking it through, Hayden continued.
"Bishop Sophia has publicly proven herself, and you need to take action.
If you do nothing, you will inevitably not be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions.
You must know that even among our northern nobles, there are always some people who don't know the importance
