Madelyn was lost in thought.
After a while, she said, “Sir, what did the upper-ups says about your survival?”
“They didn’t say much, except that I could live if I found a way to survive.”
Madelyn nodded and said, “If that’s the case, we’ll stir up the situation. As long as it doesn’t affect the progress of the Mount Thunder Conference, we can buy as much time as possible. The conference is only less than a month away.”
Yaroslav asked, “Is there anything I can do?”
Madelyn said thoughtfully, “There’s a way. James must’ve gotten the King’s permission to kill you. However, the King fears that the situation will get out of control after you die. This is the only reason he hasn’t touched you all these years. Since he’s allowed James to kill you, he won’t be providing him any help. Judging by how Maxine was expelled to help James, the people supporting James are the Cadens.
“That cunning man, Tobias, knows the severity of the situation and doesn’t dare to act rashly. Thus, their plan was to get Maxine to advise James.
“Some time ago, the paintings of the other three families were stolen, and the biggest suspect was the Cadens. The Ancient Four’s relationship collapsed, which is why the holding of the Mount Thunder Conference was suggested.
“Now that the Cadens are trying to make a move, we could ask the other three families for help.
“Under the circumstances that the King doesn’t give James any help and Tobias refuses to make big moves, we could try to win over the other three families. We can’t expect complete protection, but we can at least take measures to ensure that James won’t act recklessly. It shouldn’t be difficult to stay alive until the Mount Thunder Conference.”
Yaroslav's eyes lit up after hearing Madelyn’s plan.
“You’re right! As long as we win over the other three families, James won’t be able to act recklessly. Then, I’ll be able to survive. At the same time, I won’t be sabotaging the leader’s plan. I’ll be able to regain my power after the Mount Thunder Conference.”
“Exactly. It’s just that the Ancient Four isn’t going to pick sides easily, so it’s not going to be easy to win them over. However, it’s still worth a try. We don’t have to make them pick a side. We just need them to stand against the Cadens,” Madelyn replied.
Madelyn gave Yaroslav a plan. They did not need the three families to stand on their side but against the Cadens.
