Among the things he mentioned, Kellen mainly explained the royal family's attitude towards themselves and some of his plans.

He made it clear that they were already in a crisis of life and death, and if they didn't make any changes, their only fate would be destruction.

In light of this, it was extremely important to deploy the Silver Moon Legion to the royal city and achieve a degree of containment through encirclement.

This encirclement had to be kept secret, otherwise it would bring a lot of trouble if it were to be discovered by the royal family and other nobles.

After finishing the letter, Kellen put it into a special envelope and handed it to the butler, Roden.

"As always, have them reply to me immediately after reading it." Kellen looked at Roden solemnly and instructed him.

"Understood, I will inform you as soon as I receive a reply." Roden put the letter into a small blue box and, after confirming everything was correct, he infused magic into the magic array inscribed on the box.

As a special force of spatial power overflowed, the small box shimmered crazily, as if the contents inside were about to burst out of the box.

In this era, using spatial magic arrays to deliver letters was the most convenient method.

However, this method had many restrictions and ordinary households could not use it at all. Even many nobles could only achieve short-range information transmission.

After completing this task, Kellen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, his own strength was too weak, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this.

"Roden, there is one more thing I want you to do." Kellen closed his eyes and massaged his temples while sitting in his chair.

"Young master, just say it. As long as it's something I can do, I don't mind giving it my all, even if it means sacrificing my old bones." Roden wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled kindly.

Only in front of Kellen did he appear like an ordinary elder.

"Well, for the next few days, you should first close down the family's properties in the royal city, leaving only the main store in the center of the city to continue selling. However, replace the magic storage devices sold there with those produced by the Second Prince's subordinates.

The most crucial thing is to ensure the smooth transfer of assets. Anything that can be transferred should be transferred back to our territory.

Of course, the transfer of assets must be done secretly, without letting anyone find out." Kellen didn't mince his words with Roden, as he had to make sure his family's properties wouldn't encounter any problems in order to prevent the Crown Princess from jumping over the wall in a hurry.

In the previous life, the Crown Princess had instructed her people to buy Kellen's family's products, destroy them, and create an explosion of magic storage devices, then let the injured party go to the store and cause trouble.

The subsequent operation went smoothly. The Crown Princess called in her law enforcement team to investigate and determine the nature of the incident, conducting searches on all the shops belonging to the Kait family.

The huge loss was truly devastating for the Kait family. In addition to the money, the more important losses were the damages to their reputation. After all, no one would buy expensive and dangerous products.

As for Kellen finding a scapegoat in the form of the Second Prince, who was the Crown Princess's archenemy, it couldn't be more perfect for shifting the conflict away from himself.

"I have always been grateful to you..." When he reached the door of the secret room, Kellen sincerely thanked Roden.

...

The dinner table became livelier in the evening, with the addition of Carol, Phyllis, and Anna.

It's worth mentioning that Phyllis and Carol sat on either side of Kellen, while Anna sat across from him.

"Eat a little more, otherwise you might faint from lack of energy later at night." Kellen kindly advised Anna, who was looking gloomy.

Anna: "..."

She bit her lip, and her already bad mood became even worse.

She regretted it, regretted trespassing into the library's secret room, regretted signing the slave contract with Kellen.

If she couldn't get anything, she would regret it to the point of despair.

"You promised to show me your family's scrolls, and you also promised to train me well and provide me with the necessary gold for my studies. If you can't fulfill your promises, then you should just send me back to the prison cell!" Anna hysterically said a bunch of words.

Tears shimmered in her eyes, and Kellen knew well that her emotions were on the verge of collapsing.An emotionally unstable person often cannot offer more disgust, so he puts down his utensils and smiles, "Anna, do you underestimate me? Do you think I would deceive you in these small matters? As long as you wholeheartedly do things for me, all the things I just mentioned can satisfy you. Although I deceive girls' bodies, I do not deceive their hearts."

"Is this something to be proud of?" Phils asked, responding to Kellen's shameless remark.

"Eat your food. If you're half as obedient as Karla, I would take you out to play tonight," Kellen said, stuffing an apple into her mouth.

This version of Kellen was only a teenager physically, but mentally he had already experienced countless battles. Under immense pressure, he also needed a way to release.

"No, I don't want to be with other people," Phils said, shaking her head after eating the apple.

As a noble, she despised the disorderly behavior of ordinary noble silver. Choosing Kellen was not only because he was strong enough, but also because of his good lifestyle. From what she knew, Kellen not only did not attend those strange noble parties, but also did not get close to women, which was why she tried to become Kellen's queen.

Kellen continued joking, "What about Karla?"

"I... I... don't know," she whispered, lowering her head.

Kellen rubbed her head and changed the subject, "Then let's do it another time."

He wouldn't make a move until Karla had recovered. Although she had a stunning appearance, her emaciated figure didn't arouse much desire. He preferred someone bigger after all, and what he liked the most was ravaging what was called justice.

"What did you eat?" Anna said, putting down her utensils after just a few bites.

"The biggest room on the third floor is mine. Clean up by yourself," Kellen said, glancing at her and not paying attention to her anymore.

[Anna's favorability -2]

Anna clenched her fists when she was looked at like an object.

"...I understand," she said.

All her anger was condensed into four simple words. Wiping her tears, she stumbled and ran away. Even the "clacking" sound of her shoes on the ground couldn't conceal the sound of her sobbing.

"There's something that I don't understand. You are clearly not an unreasonable person, so why are you so harsh on Anna?" Phils couldn't understand, unable to find the motivation behind Kellen's behavior.

Kellen replied, "Maybe it's because I hate her. At least, the former me hated the former her. And I am a bad person, so it's only natural for me to deceive men and dominate women."

"I see," Phils didn't think much about it.

"Clang!"

Karla's spoon fell into the silver bowl.

She stared at Kellen in a daze, the only one who could feel the overwhelming sadness in his heart.

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?" Kellen asked, looking at Karla with concern. Everything he did for Karla was genuine.

Karla said, "No, it's delicious, it's just..."

"Just what?" Kellen asked.

"...Nothing," Karla felt that some questions should be answered by herself.
