Apocalypse After

Lower Current Turmoil

Meanwhile, in one of the rooms in the castle.

The figure of the man with a slightly vampire-like appearance in the legends, was also slightly similar to Alvonso but younger paced around with an anxious expression. His performance was slightly younger compared to Alvonso, but he was slightly taller and more stocky. Unlike her slightly thin sister.

The man was one of the future heirs to the throne, Albefort Rosewald.

“When can you convince your whole family, Zeph?!” albefort asked impatiently.

Not far from him, there appeared a thin man with hair as disheveled as the wind. His face was a bit pale, his eyes were a little faint, and his eyelids were a little black. From the looks of it, he was akin to a sleep-deprived lethargic man. However, the brilliance of his eyes betrayed his appearance.

That person is Zephyr Nigruzem, or who is often called the people closest to him by the call of Zeph.

“I just took over the Nigruzen Family. There are some people who are still unsure, even though my own father also believes in me. So, I think it will take a while to clear things up,” replied Zeph.

“We are running out of time! That guy has already acted! I can no longer let her act as she pleases!” albefort shouted dissatisfied.

“I've already executed the plan faster. I managed to master the Nigruzen Family, in contrast to some of your less competent followers and could not complete the task of winning over the family. As a leader, you also have to do your job well.

Don't make me mad, Alby. If it wasn't for you being my friend, I wouldn't have been willing to help and stand by your side.”

Hearing Zeph's words, Albefort finally came to his senses. He flopped down onto the chair then let out a long sigh with a depressed expression on his face. Although the man was a candidate for the new ruler, he knew that he was still lacking compared to Alvonso.

The reason why Albefort did not care about the formalities and allowed Zeph to act a bit wild was because that person was his close friend. Zeph is also the man he can rely on the most. Even if he could be elected, the man wanted to ask Zeph to be his advisor.

“I'm sorry Zeph. I really have too many thoughts. I have absolutely no intention of blaming you,” he said with a bitter smile on his face.

“It's okay. I know you're under pressure.” Zeph shook his head.

“What should I do now, Zeph?” ask Albefort.

“People from the other three families are still useful to you. Although they are only a minority and the majority support Alvonso, but they can still increase the strength of our stronghold. In addition, there are important things you can do,” said Zeph with a serious expression on his face.

“What is it?” Albefort looked curious.

“Gather the people oppressed by Alvonso. Even if they choose that person ..”

Zeph's expression turned increasingly cold.

“Not mean they won't rebel.”

Meanwhile, where Alvonso is.

“Have you failed to invite those two guests?”

Alvonso's expression didn't look too good. In the beginning, other than gathering the strength of Shelter 1. He also asked his men to follow the two previous guests, Kaiser and the mysterious swordsman who went with him.

If the two of them were willing to lend a hand to support him, it would not be impossible for him to ascend the throne calmly. After all, they possessed extremely extraordinary abilities and could be considered a walking disaster. However, it seemed that those people were completely unwilling to accept his offer.

Not only did he not accept her offer, but even looked at her one eye and sent a letter to humiliate her.

Roughly, the content of his writings is a mockery that depicts the new rulers, people who consider themselves Kings are only fools with narrow minds. There was also the threat that the Kaiser would come to destroy the castle and the king's candidates if they tried to stage it.

“Forget! I'm just trying. From the beginning I knew that this would fail, even the possibility of succeeding was very small.” Alvonso took a deep breath.

“Then what is your order, Mister?” ask the soldier kneeling in front of Alvonso.

“Is Annie still coming out of the castle often?” Alvonso asked back.

“Miss Annie sometimes comes out looking for some fresh air, sir. After all, her body has been unwell since she was a child. Plus being locked up every day in the castle. It is only natural that the lady has a rebellious soul and seeks to pursue freedom,” the knight replied.

“You think ... is the idea of matching Annie with a man from the Ervens Family good? The man already has a wife, but the most powerful candidate and will soon be appointed the next head of the family. If Annie marries him, then the position of the Ervens Family must be solid behind me, being a loyal follower.” Alvonso stroking chin.

“...”

The knight did not reply, but clearly thought inwardly that Alvonso was exaggerating. After all, not only did he sacrifice the happiness of others, he even sacrificed the happiness of his own sister. A sickly little sister who just wants to spend the rest of her life happily.

“Forget. Giving Annie to someone else was a bad choice. Despite looking sickly, Annie still had the blood of the Rosewald Family with high purity. Even so, she was also a woman and could give birth.

Rather than just letting her die, how about I let her give birth to my offspring? With two purer bloods, wouldn't a born child likely have pure blood? Next ruler candidate?”

Listening to Alvonso's crazy idea, the knight simply lowered his head. Subduing his head with a pale expression and his body slightly trembled because ...

He simply did not expect that the man had such an insane idea!

Meanwhile, at Nine Gates headquarters.

“Is the preparation ready, May?”

Annie asked with a gentle smile on her face. In response, Mei nodded lightly without explaining much.

Just then, Yona who was sitting in the same room as them complained.

“Do you really plan to visit those messengers, Chairman? What if they disagree with your idea? I mean, wouldn't inviting them expose you, could even be targeted by Alvonso and Albefort?” yona said with a worried expression.

“Everyone has a risk, Yona. You have to understand it. Even small things have their own risks. So, I think it's still worth doing because it's going to be a big help for us. Besides, I can escape even if it fails. Just like you .. hiding and becoming a family fugitive yourself,” Annie replied with a friendly smile and a slightly joking tone.

“That's not funny at all, Chief! Those people are crazy! How could they ask me to marry that old man from the Rubruzen Family?!

Good. Forget about his ugly, fat appearance. We can also rule out his less intelligent brain. However, asking me to marry a man who already has two wives and many children is too much!”

Yona kicked the table with an angry expression, completely like a cat stepped on its tail. Annie just laughed, saying nothing. But he himself had a plan. Plus help Claude and Melissa ...

The woman was confident enough to win the support of the envoys!
