What is the relationship with Baron Carter?
Lorne's purpose is very clear to Sophia.
Before Baron Fast could continue his slander, she interrupted the man's shameless remarks and gestured to everyone with the envelope in her hand.
"Here is a letter written by the Duke of Stuart to Baron Fast.
I have checked the seal.
It is indeed the private seal of the Duke of Stuart.
I believe you can recognize the handwriting of the Duke of the Sea."
This sentence has already confirmed the source of the letter, and further confirmed Lorne's suspicion.
But fortunately, before his threatening words came out, Sophia turned the gun and looked at John.
"It's just that this letter is not evidence found from the Fast family.
Baron Carter, can you explain where you got this private letter from Duke Stuart and why you gave it to me?"
Just now everyone thought that Sophia was going to give Lorne some trouble, but they didn't expect that the bishop would betray John at the critical moment.
When they heard that the letter was given to Sophia by Baron Carter, most people already understood something.
However, they were a little confused as to why Sophia abandoned John and instead helped Lorne.
Not to mention that outsiders like them couldn't figure it out, John himself didn't understand what went wrong.
Sophia belongs to Keira, the future Grand Duke of the North whom Keira supports.
Logically speaking, he and Sophia should be on the same team.
He even knew many things through Sophia.
And when he handed the letter to Sophia, the bishop affirmed that he knew how to do it.
But the way the bishop was questioning him now, this was definitely not the result John wanted.
Sophia's rebellious attitude also made John confused whether this was Kayla's intention or the bishop's personal behavior.
Speaking of business, John asked himself that he was already very cooperative with Kayla.
There is no lord in the entire North who is more cooperative than him.
If you give up on him, who is His Majesty the Pope going to replace him with?
Is it Anna?
He remembered Anna's identity as Kayla's godson, but soon, John dismissed this possibility.
Because in private, Anna doesn't respect church personnel very much.
As long as Keira wasn't blind, she wouldn't be able to put in the effort to please a little girl.
He had the upper hand in both public and private matters, and Sophia's behavior was completely inexplicable.
John, who was confident of winning, was completely confused by Sophia's sudden defection.
He who was so eloquent just now didn't know what to say.
And how could Lorne miss the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog?
Although he himself was almost scared to death by Sophia, it turned out that Sophia just needed training.
Baron Fast, who had restored the situation, did not think about how to deal with the disobedient bishop for the time being.
In order to make Sophia cooperate with him, he even used honorifics obediently.
"Your Majesty, according to your wishes, this letter from the Duke of Stuart was given to you by Baron Carter to frame me."
Under Sophia's questioning, this was already obvious.
With Sophia's help, John has no way to escape.
As long as Sophia is sure, Lorne can immediately ask someone to take down John, who is secretly colluding with Duke Stuart.
Victory beckoned to Lorne, eliminating John as his opponent.
If he takes care of the orphans and widows in Tallinn City, then the position of the Grand Duke of the North will be in his pocket.
So smoothly, the northern territory can be taken into his own hands without going through a war.
The smile on the corner of his mouth exposed Baron Fast's ambition.
John, who also has the conspiracy to rule the North, is very familiar with Lorne's smile.
Whenever he looks in the mirror and thinks about how he will rule the North in the future, he has the same expression.

Does he really want to use Anna to achieve his goal of ruling the North?
Discovering that he had been framed seemed to be a fact, but unfortunately, even so, John could not find a chance to fight back.
The betrayal of the Lord Bishop is his most fatal part.
Before Sophia could confirm his crime, John was already thinking about ways to escape.
If they were really convicted of colluding with the Stuart family, he didn't think he would have a chance to survive.
But just when John was about to violently kidnap Anna, a loud voice interrupted everyone's attention.
"Sir, the Stuart family's army is approaching us.
They are expected to arrive here before noon."
Due to the huge defeat and the loss of the Grand Duke's life, the morale in the camp was unprecedentedly low.
The scope of the scouts responsible for the security of the camp was much smaller than usual.
The report from the visitor made the big shots who were busy watching Lorne and John bite each other take out their pocket watches at the same time.
Although the Stuart family was rebellious, the things they produced were still treasures sought after by the northern nobles.
It's just that the exquisite pocket watch they usually use to admire cannot make them feel happy this time.
Because the scout said it was noon, the hour hand on the pocket watch was already pointing at nine o'clock.
In other words, in three hours at most, the Stuart family's army will come to the door.
And the most troublesome thing is that in such a short period of time, it is obviously impossible to figure out who is the traitor between John and Lorne.
Put aside your grudges and deal with the Stuart family together Without knowing who the traitor was, the morale of the entire troops going south had long been shattered.
And without the central control of the Grand Duke of the North, who would be willing to go up and fight at this time?
No one even stepped forward to take command.
Marquis Marco took the lead in putting down his burden.
As an ally of the Baker family, he needed to return to Tallinn City as soon as possible to explain today's events clearly to the Grand Duchess.
John is naturally the target of their suppression, but Anna, who fell into Lorne's trap, doesn't need to be on guard.
But as soon as the Marquis left quietly, the remaining people were even less interested in dealing with John and Lorne.
According to the usual relationship, the big nobles and the small lords who were willing to follow them began to prepare their luggage.
Obviously, none of these guys are willing to stay and resist.
But if he were to run away like this, he would be caught up and killed by the Stuart family's cavalry.
This face is a bit embarrassing.
What is annoying is that Marquis Clark and others actually handed over the task of blocking the enemy to Lorne and John.
Maybe in their opinion, one of Lorne and John must have collaborated with the enemy.
Instead of letting them go back to the north to cause trouble, they might as well just stay here.
Almost forcing Lorne, these shameless old guys made Lorne and John prove themselves by cutting off the back.
Without even waiting for Lorne to agree, they each returned to their campsite and started packing their things to run away.
Apart from Lorne and John, the only ones left there were Anna, who wanted revenge, and Bishop Sophia, who volunteered to stay
