The ultimate goal of all this is to force Roland to speak up at the Snow Peak Conference, to make a collective voice for them and pry open the fortress of power tightly controlled by Louis.
"What we need is just a 'starting point,'" Brooke said earlier, "As long as Lord Roland speaks, the other nobles can effortlessly go along with it."
In their eyes, Roland wasn't a senator or a senior, but a stone.
They worked together to push it down the mountain, letting it crash open the doors to power. Whether it would be smashed to pieces was not their concern.
Now that "stone" has finally loosened.
Roland looked at the document on the table, his throat choked.
He knew that once this letter was sent, it would not only challenge the authority of the Red Tide but also anger the young and decisive lord.
But worse still, if he didn't send it, these "allies" sitting in the room would see him as a coward hindering the restoration of power, isolating him from the noble group.
