Chapter 7 My Sins Are Too Numerous to List
Earl Cavendish's expression was slightly moved. He understood what Deya meant and said with a complicated expression: "Deya, you want to start a rebellion."

"It's not rebellion, father. The Prime Minister used sweet words to deceive His Majesty the King and did many things in the name of His Majesty that angered God and the people.

We just want His Majesty to see the Prime Minister's true face. We are clearing out the emperor's side!"

Deya said firmly.

How can it be a rebellion? Rebellion sounds so bad. Our slogan is to purge the court of corrupt officials, father!

As for what to clear after clearing out the emperor's side, we will talk about it when the time comes.

People can only decide when a war begins, but cannot decide when it ends.

What Deya needs to do is to start this war first!
Earl Cavendish leaned back in his chair, as if discussing something with Deya, and said, "Do you think we can succeed?"

Deya said calmly: "The possibility of success is very high. We, the border lords, have been fighting against the Kingdom of England for many years. In order to protect our own territory, our soldiers have rich combat experience.

But it is different for the grand dukes. Their soldiers are poorly trained and lack combat effectiveness. If they can unite all the border lords, together with those other small nobles who are threatened.

In terms of military strength, our power is above the king's!"

Lord Cavendish said calmly, “But we have no money, Deya.

You also know that we have to face the pressure from the Kingdom of Inglob and need to prepare our military. Taxes from our territory alone are not enough and we need financial assistance from the kingdom.

If the king cuts off this funding, we will be very hard-pressed.”

Deya picked up a cup on the table and asked Earl Cavendish, "Father, how much does this cup cost?"

The Earl took a look at the ordinary cup and said, "How can I know the exact cost, but it will definitely not exceed 0.1 loti."

Deya smiled and said, “Let’s assume that its cost is 0.1 loti and our army needs to buy a cup for each soldier.

Father, you are the Minister of Finance. You must be able to use the kingdom's money to purchase it from our territory. By then, you can raise the purchase price to 1000 loti, and the extra money will be ours.

Of course, we must know how to share. We can also purchase supplies from other lords. We can fill in 1000 loti in the form, but sell 200 loti to other lords, and the remaining 800 still belongs to us.

They make money, and we make even more, isn't it a win-win situation? All this can be used to build up our military strength. It would be even better if you, father, have the ability to empty the kingdom's treasury.

The figures I mentioned may be exaggerated, but you are the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I believe you must have a better way to do the accounting."

Earl Cavendish was speechless. Aren’t you asking me to embezzle the kingdom’s assets?

“If you feel you need an excuse to get the kingdom to spend money on support, this is an easy one.

Uncle Calendin is in charge of the kingdom's external intelligence department. You and Uncle Calendin are good brothers who grew up together.

As long as we let Uncle Calendin spread false information and say that there are signs of a large-scale invasion from the Kingdom of England, the king will have to support us with more funds.

If the king is still unwilling, then incite the people. Gustave Le Bon once said in his book that in a group, the individual's humanity will be submerged, the ability to think independently will be lost, and the spirit of the group will replace the spirit of the individual.

Therefore, the public is the easiest to incite. They will always blindly follow the will of the group. As long as we mobilize the media, we will be the leader of the group's will!"

Just as Count Cavendish was thinking about which master Gustave Le Bon was, Deya said again: "If the voice of the people is not enough, then go to the church. The Kingdom of Anglo-Germany is a country where politics and religion are combined. They believe in the same goddess as us, but they have always believed that our beliefs are not orthodox.

Father, you must know that heretics are always more hateful than pagans, and the Pope hates the Kingdom of England even more. If the Pope and the people speak out at the same time, even the king will have to compromise, unless he doesn't want to be king anymore!"

Earl Cavendish let out a breath and admitted that he was moved by what Deya said.

The Earl was feeling complicated at this moment. What exactly did Master Irving teach Deya? Why did he suddenly change from a weak character to a warmongerer?

Everything he said and did indicated that he wanted to start a war!
"Such a huge amount of greed... well, it's easy to be discovered if you move funds."

Earl Cavendish didn't realize that he was following Deya's pace.

"It doesn't matter. Who is qualified to supervise you? We can threaten him with his life, or the lives of his entire family, to make him behave himself.

Although exposure in the end is an inevitable result, as long as the funds are transferred out, it will be a success. Anyway, as long as the war breaks out, it will have nothing to do with us, and those bad debts will be automatically "settled".

You have to make up your mind, father. His Majesty the King is boiling a frog in warm water. He thinks we are a bunch of rabble and cannot unite. That's why he is so bold. Since we will die anyway, why not give it a try! "

Deya waved his fists and tried to persuade his father with an expression of disappointment.

We want war, we want Tata Kai!

"Then have you ever thought about what will happen to the Cavendish family if you fail?"

Lord Cavendish pointed out the most serious problem.

Deya looked serious and said, “Of course I have thought about it.

The good news is that we in the Cavendish family are small, and if it really comes to that, we can leave Susaitani and join the Empire.

Don't speak yet, father, you may not know that my teacher, Master Irwin, is the master of the Nine Rings Tower! "

As soon as Deya finished speaking, Count Cavendish's expression changed, and his voice unconsciously became louder, and he said in a trembling voice: "Say it again, Master Irwin is the master of the Nine Rings Tower?"

He felt genuinely incredulous. Although Earl Cavendish guessed that the lich was an extremely powerful wizard, his strength was still beyond his expectations.

The Nine Rings Tower is the most powerful and mysterious wizard organization, and even the emperor of the empire has to show high respect to the master of the Nine Rings Tower.

He can be said to be the most powerful wizard in the world, possessing the power to destroy the world!
"Yes, father, I will not lie to you on this point. You must believe that your son, I will definitely become a wizard of the Nine Rings Tower and a great wizard in the future.

I will let the ancestors bear witness!

You should know that a great wizard will be highly valued no matter which country he is in.

The Empire has been eyeing Susetani and England. If it really comes to that, I will work hard to improve my ring count until I am reused by the Empire. Then I can use the Empire's power to counterattack!
Our Cavendish family has a strong foundation in Susaitani and is very familiar with this place. Under our leadership, with the help of the Empire's military power, we will definitely be able to take back everything that belongs to us!"

Deya said in an excited tone.

He was prepared to imprison young girls, start wars, incite the people, plot rebellion, mislead the church, embezzle the kingdom's property, execute the king's entire family, and even surrender to the empire and become a guide after failure.

Deya suddenly realized that his sins were so numerous that they were difficult to describe!
Earl Cavendish also felt that his son was too extreme!
