"That's right, Annie," the old man said calmly, stroking a huge ring on his hand, "The people who did what you said...are members of our family.

"Royal power is not just a sword, it is also an umbrella. And what it covers is not only its own people...but more importantly, these nobles in the center of the umbrella. When the umbrella falls

, they are the ones who bear the brunt.”

"I noticed something very subtle."

Aiwass smiled relaxedly when he heard this.

He pointed out the detail: "Those nobles who disobey the king's orders are often the most unpopular. They are the guys who deliberately cause poverty and famine in order to cause trouble for the Swan King."

Although this seems to be a coincidence, it is subtly reasonable.

——A person who dares to resist even the king’s orders must have so much courage! If a person dares to bully even the king, won’t he bully the people below him?

"Yes," the old Duke nodded, "This is exactly retribution."

"Now it can be proven that everyone is innocent...Isn't it great?"

Anne was very puzzled.

"It's very simple..."

Aiwass then spoke up and revealed the inner thoughts of the old Duke: "Because what my grandfather was thinking about was actually a war. A 'war to cleanse everything' to solve all the backlogged problems of Iris. That's why he was desperately trying.
