Chapter 78 Chapter 78
Nate POV
Moments later, only Adrain and I sat on the dining still. Natalia had already left for school while Brian was gone to do his daily mission. "Are you sure that high lord Marco was in support of Valentine's act?" I asked Adrain who scoffed. "Have you ever seen an event this big that that man wasn't aware of? He must be casting his eyes on Rich assets as he is aware that the many years of accumulation of that wealth is enough to upgrade someone into a medium lord. He is trying to expand his people so that he can beat the other two high lords. If my guess is right his original target was Natalia. But because we are already her lover and even though he is a high-high lord while we are medium high lord he didn't dare still target Natalia as it will cause us to retaliate causing an unrest in the domain world which will alert the other two high level lords" Adrain paused.
"The last thing that Marco wants is for the other two to know of his plans. He doesn't know that even though he is strong, he has already lost to the other two because he has started looking for other lords as backups while the two disdain it. Even if he, by luck, ends up winning, he will lose the support of everyone," Adrain added.
"But why will he still put his eyes on Grace knowing quite well that the heir is Natalia?" I asked, and Adrain chuckled. "Why is your brain suddenly empty today? Or are you so horny that you can't think at all? He is targeting Grace because he thinks that through Grace, he will still get eighty per cent of the wealth because of how much Natalia loves her mom," he said, and I chuckled. What a scheming guy. "I won't doubt if I heard that he achieved his position through scheming", I said, and Adrain rolled his eyes as if I was saying the obvious whilst doubting it at the same time.
"That is the reason why we don't only need to make Natalia inherit her father's wealth but also to ascend to the level of the medium lord. We can't let what belongs to her be used by a nasty guy to achieve his dirty goal," Adrain said. "But what about her training? We both knew that Rich was already strong, he only died because it was a helpless accident. If it was a gang up he would have slaughtered all of them and left unscathed" I asked. "We can bring out our time to train her afterwards. But as of now, we need to hurry with our plans. If we succeed, our power will increase by large, and we will both ascend to the high-level high lord in a full sweep. Then we will not only have the power to protect Natalia and her possessions, but we will also have the power to save Grace from Marco without breaking a sweat," he said, and silence descended in the room.
"Kane is already suspicious," I said. "And that is why we will never allow a third party to know of our plan because the whole domain world will never allow us to succeed. Even the other two that always act high and mighty will be compelled to take action. They can't bear another person sitting on that high throne with the three of them, not to even mention the fact that there will be two more thrones and not one," He said.
"It's clear that many are already suspicious of us keeping a low profile for months now, what we rarely do,", I said and chuckled. "I couldn't believe the fact that that dormant domain of high lord Charm was actually controlled by Kane. I never thought that lord charm would have a son. He is really smart. Now that I have seen Kane, there is no doubt that the charm domain will become dominant amongst the medium-high lords once more. Amongst the nine medium-high lords, the charm was ranked second previously, directly under that man's family. But after the death of Charm, the domain became dormant, making it rank last, and when we became medium lords, the seats of medium lords became ten, and we ranked first amongst them, that family ranking second. Something that has never happened before, which made them hate us so much that they can be said to be the lead domain who can't wait for our downfall. With our plans succeeding and Charm domain coming back to the world, that family will suffer another blow once more, especially if we help Charm replace them. They might even scream our name in their dreams" I chuckled, and Adrain did, too.
"Don't forget so soon who he is to us now brother. He is practically our stepbrother. I can't believe how all these are turning out," Adrain said, standing up. "And he wants to join in in the picture", I added, and he kept quiet.
I know that if Kane suggested that when we are in the domain world, he would properly be dead before we would even know that he was our stepbrother. Currently, we are torn between giving up on becoming a high lord and having her all to ourselves, or bearing with it for the time being and achieving our goal, which will benefit all of us and still have her to ourselves at the end of the day. We all knew she had a boyfriend before which means she is no stranger to another man, but how can we share our treasure?
As if on cue, a pretty male with a well-defined frame stepped into the dining. "I wonder what you guys have been discussing to make you still be here for so long, but it's not like it's any of my business," he said and I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes, if not for the fact that we will definitely catch him if he dared to eavesdrop on us he will already be learning next to the dining wall on the hallway with his ears glued on the wall.
