Chapter 735: 251. Andre’s New Hobby - Add more for "Huo is pretty good" brother [1/20]_2

Perhaps we should reconsider the internal structure of the White Mountain Faction, gaining some wisdom from this failure.

If I were to say what I’ve learned from my time in Transylvania, it’s that simply having ideals doesn’t get things done.

I was too idealistic before.

My dear Vista, we must start from scratch in rebuilding the White Mountain Faction. Murphy’s management style towards the Blood Vulture Clan is worth learning from. Therefore, I have made a decision; I will appoint you as my head of intelligence.

Just like Lady Adel’s position beside Murphy, the transition of duties from Lady Adel will be fully entrusted to you this time."

"I am, of course, willing to serve you, my master."

Vista nodded obediently, but then he went on:

"However, establishing our intelligence network in Transylvania would be quite challenging..."

"No, what I mean is we shouldn’t worry about that for now. We should first integrate ourselves into Murphy’s system, considering ourselves as part of the Transylvanian system and following his orders. Learn first! Then we can discuss growth."

Andrei corrected:

"From now on, we need to let go of our adversarial mindset with him, in the name of resisting the Black Disaster, we integrate with this land."

"But this does nothing to benefit you!"

Vista was taken aback and immediately tried to dissuade him:

"The Wolf Queen Majesty granted you privileges, my lord! As long as Lord Murphy’s rule fails, you can become the master of this land! This is clearly guilt and compensation from your sister. You should not refuse these rewards, it’s already quite decent to not cause trouble for the Blood Vulture Clan, let alone helping to stabilize the situation for your political enemies. This is tantamount to voluntarily giving up this territory, which may disappoint the Wolf Queen Majesty."

"Would you think I was mad if I told you that from the start, I never really thought of getting involved in Transylvania’s political affairs?"

Andrei emptied his cup of hot tea in a single swig.

He leaned back in his chair, looking at the faithful servant who had taken care of him since he was a child.

When he was still a child, a then much younger Vista had already been appointed as his butler. One could argue that compared to his distant sister, Vista felt more like his family and elder.

So in front of this extremely loyal servant, who would walk with him into the dead of night, Andrei would never hide his thoughts too much.

He massages his temples and explains in a confidential whisper:

"Making Transylvania my own fiefdom was never part of my plan. This not only because the land is isolated and barbaric, difficult to manage. Moreover, it is as if cursed by disaster, it is forced to face unending malice from the world. I realized a long time ago that our country could never control Transylvania!"

From Ice Bay to the Kavkhoka plains, this is the furthest that Nordtoff Kingdom’s influence can reach. Vista, our nation is like an aging giant.

It still has an appetite, but its decaying body cannot support it consuming more land."

Actually, my sister agreeing to King Louis’s invitation to send troops was not born of her desire. I once talked to her. Taking advantage of the ten-year war to grab benefits was to appease the Hawk Faction at home."

For my sister, her interest in internal reform far outweighs foreign wars."

She understands that capturing fertile land without effective management would trouble the state as much as a hemorrhaging wound."

Your family has served the royal family for generations. You should be more aware of what state our country is in."

The fertility of the Kavkhoka plains isn’t enough to revive the kingdom. On the contrary, we also have to inherit the hostility and resistance from the people for occupying new territory."

It took less than a month and a half for the Winter Wolf Legion to suppress more than forty rebellions of all sizes in the core regions of the great plains."

That’s horrifying."

Andrei, like a melancholic poet, sighs and says:

"We can’t even hold down the Kavkhoka plains, so what if I take Transylvania? It would just be a nominal victory and will only further consume the precious vitality of the nation that we have left."

Our rigid system is not like that of the Golden Flower Kingdom."

We can’t quickly digest and accumulate power through expansion. So when my sister sent over the agreement with Murphy, I knew what she meant."

She didn’t offer me a chance to become a governor out of guilt. She just hoped that I could get away from the control of the Thorn Clan and our ancestors."

My sister does indeed feel guilty towards me, but not in the way you think."

But I am..."

From my perspective, the chance to train and grow in Transylvania is more important than personal honor and disgrace. It enables me to become a beneficial person to the nation."

My country needs me, and so does my sister."

Vista, I’ve been telling you since I was a kid, I have no interest in the throne, but I’m willing to fulfill my duty for this bloodline."

So, do you understand? What I want to do here is not to compete with Murphy for the dispensable position of governor, but to use this place as a test to make me stronger as soon as possible.

My sister is a queen who is destined to accomplish great things. She could easily give me a fief that is hundreds of times better than Transylvania with a flick of her fingers."
