Chapter 8 You will eventually be crowned king!
Deya could see that his father was somewhat tempted, but he had not made up his mind.

Deya understands this very well.

There was no way that my father could make a decisive decision on such a serious matter as treason just by a few words from me.

Unless you are a born succubus or the reincarnation of a painter, you probably have the eloquence to make people excited with just a few words.

Deya knew very well that what his father was most worried about was the cost of a failed rebellion, which was not something that ordinary people could afford.

That's why Deya mentioned his identity as a teacher.

Although both Deya and Earl Cavendish knew that such a big shot would not help them with such a "small matter" as treason, Deya would not ask the teacher for these things, as that would only make the teacher disappointed in him.

But having such a big shot behind you always makes you feel at ease.

Besides, Deya did not lie to Earl Cavendish in one word, that is, he believed that he would become a powerful wizard in the future.

With the golden finger and the advantage of intelligence, Deya is confident that he can become the 'Lich King'!
Now, as long as his father is moved, Deya can find a way to force his father so that he has no choice but to raise the banner of rebellion.

As for national sentiment, it cannot be said that these feudal nobles do not have it, but at least they do not have much.

These nobles care about their own fiefdoms first, and the kingdom comes second.

His Majesty the King also knows this, so he wants to take back as much power as possible over these lands, centralize power, and strengthen the country.

For the nobles who had fiefs, losing their fiefs meant losing everything, so they would naturally rise up in resistance.

There is no right or wrong in this struggle, just different interests.

"Father, I'm going to cancel the engagement!"

Deya said in a deep voice.

As a time traveler, he had no feelings for the Kingdom of Susaytani, so he had no pressure to rebel.

But through the memory of his original body, Deya guessed why the Cavendish family did not rebel in the game, it was because of this engagement!

"Break off the engagement? You want to break off the engagement with Princess Teresa?"

Lord Cavendish's eyes widened as he looked Deya up and down.

He had thought about many things, but he never thought that Deya would say the word "break off the engagement".

In Earl Cavendish's memory, his son had always been obsessed with his fiancée Princess Theresa, commonly known as a "dog-licker".

The bootlicker actually gave up the goddess. Could it be that being a wizard can change a person so much?
"Yes, father, you heard me right, I have decided to cancel the engagement!"

Deya said this in a firm, even uncompromising tone.

He didn't want his head to be green, as the princess had many lovers.

In the game, the player also receives the task of killing 'Deya' from the princess, which is husbandicide.

Compared to the third princess Theresa, Deya is actually more interested in her sister, the second princess.

"Father, there is no future in being a fence-sitter. Now that I think about it, this was all planned by His Majesty the King.

He arranged a marriage for me when I was very young and brought our Cavendish family together.

Among the border nobles, our Cavendish family is also the most powerful.

This engagement seemed fine at the time, but when the current King is preparing to centralize power, it will make other border nobles distrust us.

His Majesty the King has been planning this for sixteen years!
We are also the target of the king's attack, but the nobles who can stand with us do not trust us and think that we are "royalists". This is the family digging its own grave.

So this engagement must be cancelled. We cannot stand on the king's side, but must stand against the king!"

Sixteen years ago, the king was in a state of not caring about anything, just eating and waiting to die every day. At that time, there was no problem in making a marriage contract with the royal family, and it was even a family honor.

But now, sixteen years later, the king's true colors were revealed, and the Cavendish family's position became awkward.

The Cavendish family must resolutely cut off ties with one of the parties and stand on the side of the other, otherwise they will only be hostile to both parties.

Deya, who had foresight into the future, understood that following the king would lead to death, and the only way to survive was to join the "parliamentary faction". Damn it!
Earl Cavendish looked at Deya with complicated eyes, and suddenly felt that his son had grown up.

As the head of the Cavendish family, he certainly understood the consequences of being a fence-sitter.

But he couldn't bear to cancel the engagement because his second son really liked the princess.

Earl Cavendish is very decisive in dealing with external affairs, but when it comes to his family, he is an indecisive person. He loves his children and wants them to be happy.

In the original world line, the Cavendish family chose the wrong path because of this and eventually ended up being broken up.

Now that his son has grown up and understood the truth, Earl Cavendish is relieved. He is grateful to Master Irving from the bottom of his heart. It is under Master Irving's guidance that Deya has transformed!

Earl Cavendish made a prompt decision and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I will go to His Majesty the King and cancel this marriage!"

Deya shook his head and said, "No, father, you can't go. After all, this is an engagement we made since childhood, and it is an engagement with the royal family.

If you were to say it yourself, it would make people laugh at the Cavendish family and damage the family's honor.

Let me do this. I am still young and a child in the eyes of many people.

If I resolutely cancel the engagement, they can only say that I am being willful, and the rumors will only fall on me. "

Earl Cavendish couldn't help but laugh and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Deya, you have changed so much that I can hardly recognize you."

Deya just smiled and said nothing.

Of course, because I have changed someone...

The Cavendish family was harmonious, and the original 'Deya' also had a good relationship with his father and brother, and loved them deeply.

If the original person knew that his family was destroyed because of him, he would definitely regret his naivety.

In exchange for replacing you, I will help you save your family!
"Among mages, there is a school called the School of Prophecy, and I have also learned some spells from the School of Prophecy.

Although they were just some magic tricks, after learning the spells of the school of prophecy, I had a premonition, as if I could see the future.

The Cavendish family can only survive if they resolutely overthrow the king, otherwise they will inevitably be destroyed, which is why I will persuade my father. "

Deya stood up, with his back to Earl Cavendish, and walked to the window, looking out at the garden and heading northwest, where Cavendish County was located.

He whispered: "I think you must understand what I really mean.

Father, on the day you were born, the Cavendish forest was whispering your name, Ruston Cavendish!

As I was growing up, you were like the embodiment of justice, guiding me in the direction of progress.

You told me once that we would rule our realm with wisdom and strength.

You inspire your people with your powerful strength and wisdom, and you lead us forward with victory after victory.

The people of Cavendish Territory have proven with facts that the Kingdom of Susaitani needs a wise monarch like you!

Father, I believe that one day, His Majesty the King’s life will come to an end, and you will be crowned king!”

Lord Cavendish took a deep breath.

It's burning! It's burning!
It turns out that I am so great and powerful in my son’s eyes!
It doesn’t matter whether I said these words or not.

In order not to disappoint my son, I, as a father, have to work hard!

"Father, I have an appointment with Blauto today, so I can't stay here for long."

Deya had said everything he needed to say, and he also had to give his father some time to recover and think.

Braut is Deya's childhood friend and the son of his uncle Calentine, who is in charge of the kingdom's foreign intelligence agency.

Deya had asked him to investigate the origins of the witch before, and today was the day for the two to meet.

"Well, let's go."

Deya's change and the words he said really made Earl Cavendish need to think carefully.

It is impossible to commit rebellion without any preparation and just roll up your sleeves to do it.

But there was one thing that Earl Cavendish knew he had to do, and that was to unite with the "Parliamentary Party" and bring together the still fragmented "Parliamentary Party".

Deya performed a noble salute and said goodbye.

Earl Cavendish put away the silencing magic device. He came to the window where Deya had just stood and watched Deya's carriage go away.

Walking back to his desk, the count opened the drawer and found the letter he had just received not long ago.

The letter was from his eldest son, Deya's brother.

The content was very simple. The eldest son of the Cavendish family clamored in the letter that if the king dared to violate the constitution, collect taxes from their territory and usurp their power as lords, then they would rebel against him!

Lord Cavendish had a headache.

Why are both of his sons thinking of rebelling?
