Way of Overlord-Chapter 488: Seeking Audience With Her Husband

Now, is her position still stable? Will Aeryon forget old merits?

She doesn’t know.

Because she doesn’t know what Aeryon is really thinking

If she is just tehd daughter of a maid, or a daughter of a slave and is taken to the Kan tent to be his lover, she could only accept the fate that is bestowed upon her.

But she still has an army.

She still has two brothers. There is still a force to ensure her survival.

There is still leverage and there is still a use for her

The woman of the Steppe has always been brave. And that has not changed from ancient times to today.

"I need to prepare" her eyes turns sharp.

She needs to know the attitude of Aeryon. That is still an uncertainty. Will he still treat her well? And if he did not, what moves should she make?

"Then, there is that person" And Ayera clenches her hand into a fist.

When she first heard the death of her father, the first one she blames is not her husband. Not even once she blamed her husband. It is not because love conquers everything or that she likes him so much that she did not blame him

It is because the blame does not lie on him. He did not stage a coup nor did he kill her father.

Judging from what he had done Aeryon sincerely try to save her father. And for Aeryon anyway, Garron living is a better deal for him.

And from what she understood of his father relationship with Aeryon, these two seems to appreciate each other

Personally, and publicly, Aeryon has no reason of wanting Garron to die. Since that is the case, what blame does her husband shoulder?

None.

But there is a person who could be blame for this matter.

Aeryon did not have to send an army to try to save her father.

But he did anyway.

That shows whatever his feeling for her father, he at least had the attitude of wanting to help

And that alone is enough.

If the attitude is shown, then his brother would not be able to kill her father.

As long as Aeryon could reach Utgard before it is too late, before the situation is decided, then Aeryon army and his attitude is enough to make her brother cautious.

And the reason why she believe Aeryon is sincere in wanting to help her father is precisely because someone try to stop Aeryon from knowing the matter

The more that someone try to block it, the more that Ayera is confident that Aeryon is really sincere in helping her father.

Because if Aeryon was not the kind of person that is sincerely wanting to help her father, then there is no need to block him.

If the decision was always to reject her help and not to help her father, all the obstacle placed in front of Aeryon is just a waste of time

It is because that person knows that Aeryon would send soldiers that he set up all kinds of obstacles, create all kinds of delaying measure....because he did not want the Kan to help her father

Yes, the one she blames the most is Mayeux.

The grudge is formed.

So, she also wonders what would Mayeux do? Will he try to oust her position?

Poison her?

Alienate her with the Kan?

Or if she bears Aeryon a son one day, he would try to install another heir for Aeryon?

Maybe sent some women to Aeryon tent so that he would have other sons and daughters?

There is all kinds of method Mayeux could do to push her aside.

Since the grudge is formed, how could Mayeux not know that while she did not have power now, if she bore Aeryon a son, and if that son is the eldest son, as long as that son did not have any defects, did not make any big mistake in the future, that son of hers could sit on the same seat of his father

Then what would happen then?

She the mother of the new Kan would not avenge her father? Even if she said that she would not, would Mayeux believe it?

That is a man who believes in himself and would rather rely on himself than rely on the kindness of others.

And even if Mayeux said he would no longer scheme and plot against her, would Ayera believe him. He did it once, he could do it again

Both of them could not trust each other because this is about survival. It is not easy to trust someone even if in the book of sages, it is said that with trust, great things could be accomplished

But the human heart is the most unpredictable. So, how could one easily trust one another.

This is actually the most taboo thing for an advisor especially a strategist like Mayeux. The ruler is important but what about the Queen?

Is she not important?

Now, she is not important.

But one day, if Ayera bore Aeryon a son, and if that son is the eldest son and inherit the throne, then this would be a very delicate situation.

This case would be like the Empress Dowager having her son on the throne.

Then what kind of fate would befall Mayeux at that time? Will the grudge at that time dissipate into the long years? Or will it be the time for his liquidation?

Mayeux , could he have not seen it?

Mayeux he did see it...but he did it anyway.

Because he is loyal to Aeryon.

Loyal to their vision

But he had harmed her and harmed her family. Every grudge has its cause and effect and the cause and effect of this matter is clear.

Ayera clenched her hand and her eyes is red.

The anger in her heart could not be extinguished easily this time

But she knew, now is not the time. She did not have the power to change anything at this moment.

She is angry and her mind could not be clearer right now.

She got up from her tent and wipes her tears again. It is almost like her tears could not stop

Her eyes is swollen but she already knows what she needs to do.

"My father still have many loyalist and they would help me" She thought to herself.

There is already a plan that is forming in her head. Now, she first need to survive.

The day before and the day now is different

Ayera herself also has her network of contacts in Utgard.

She needs to gather information of Ogura movement and intention, allies and enemies.

But that could be done later.

The most important thing right now is to ascertain the intention of that one

Ayera rush out from her tent.

And she called upon her confidant.

The confidant whispers some words to her and she nodded as she excuses her confidant away. Her eyes narrowed

And then she walk toward a different direction than the palace.

She is heading toward Aeryon war tent.

Yes, since Aeryon did not want to see her, she has to meet him.

She already knows what to do and she already has plans on what to do.

But all of this must rely on one fact

And that is the Kan still needed her.

And that the Kan feeling did not change.

That the promise that he promised her still stands.

Only after knowing the intention and desire of the Kan, could she do all the other things she wanted to do

She walk in a rush.

The more rushed she appears the better.

She might not learn the true method of assassination in Naraka Griha but she does learn on how to do politics.

If not, how could she , a woman born in the Great Steppe knows so much about court politics.

If she was a normal woman, she could not even think of blaming Mayeux because she would not even notice that there is plots and intrigue on the matter.

She learns politics and because of that she knows sometimes to kill people you don’t have to use your own knife and your own strength.

Sometimes, you borrow the power of heaven and earth.

Heaven refers to the phenomenon of the world and earth refers to people.

Borrow the phenomenon of the sky and borrow the power of the people.

And now she is rushing almost like a crazy woman, running toward the Kan war tent, what is it if not for her wanting to evoke the Kan feeling of pity towards her. So, she run and the more tired she could be, the better it is for her.

And in just a few minutes she arrives at the Kan war tent. Outside the war tent, there is Burchu. Burchu saw her

And he was about to help her, but Ayera shakes her head

"I want to see the Kan"

Burchu did not answer. He looks at the messy appearance of Ayera and he could guess why Ayera wanted to meet Aeryon.

It is not hard to guess at this moment in time. Burchu was about to report this to Aeryon but a voice comes out of the tent

"Let her in"
