The Plan to Leave the Capital City

Hearing this, Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be honest, he was unhappy with this now, anyway. No matter how much flattery the other party was using, his behavior was no different from being on the fence. Even… If he had been stuck at St. Peter's Cathedral back then, Duke Collin and the nobles would directly fall on the Church's side, and might even take credit for this.

The nobles did not care who won or lost. They only wanted to gain an advantage when both parties fought.

He could understand such a move, but from Benjamin's perspective, he no longer considered Duke Collin as one of his own. Perhaps Elizabeth did not know everything that went on here, or maybe she did, but… Whatever it was, it was unnecessary for Benjamin to spare Duke Collin's feelings anymore.

Since the nobles wanted to use him, then let it be vice versa.
