The meeting between Rocco and Garrett lasted for over two hours. While exchanging information, both parties also discussed the next steps of their plan.
"Mr. Rocco. People are watching my every move. So, I won't overstay my welcome. Thank you for your hard work."
"Don't mention it, Your Highness. It's my honor to serve you."
"Then, I will take my leave."
After Garrett departed, Rocco settled into his throne-like seat. He elegantly swirled his wine glass, watching the expensive red liquid twirl inside.
A while later, he heard a sudden knock on the door.
"Master Rocco, Prince Garrett has left."
Rocco stopped swirling the glass and took a sip of his wine.
"All right. I got it. Join me, Lynette. The meal costs a fortune, yet the wasteful princes couldn't appreciate its value."
With that, he picked up the ornate utensils and started eating. After only a few bites, he suddenly stood up.
"You go on without me. Ask Julia to see me in my study later."
Madison, Lynette, Julia, and Giselle were his trusted right-hand women.
After that, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and left the room through a secret passage.
Once he arrived at his study, he immediately took out a pen and paper to list the crucial information about the Bane Family's incident.
He stared at the name 'Roxanne Bane' for a long time with a thoughtful expression.
"Perfect timing, Julia. Send this message to Emsgate." He handed her a note.
"Yes, Master."
After she left the room to proceed with his order, he stretched lazily with a smile. Although his head throbbed with the new information, he enjoyed and reveled in the feeling of having everyone under his control.
Montiria, the princes, and Seraphis are nothing more than tools. They're just chess pieces that stand out more than others.
"My ultimate goal is the sleeping dragon." Rocco looked toward the distant east with a meaningful gaze.
Arabella was right about her intuition. He was indeed skilled at manipulating people and had an insightful mind.
After seeing the scattered papers on the desk, one could only conclude that the forces involved in the scheme would bring chaos to the game.
