Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill Chapter 773:I thought I Would Have A Lovely Vacation

She looked down at the documents again.

"People who might escape the net might harbor ill intentions toward us. They might not be able to harm us, but what about the kids?"

Her voice became more serious when she mentioned the children.

If this had been before, Mira might have rushed forward without thinking too much. She had once been driven by nothing but her hatred for Halcrest. But now she had children and a peaceful life. She had more things to protect, so she could no longer act blindly.

"Instead of finishing them outright, why don't you ask the Emperor to dismantle the head and support others to take up?"

Ethan's eyes lit up.

He had already been pondering about this.

The aristocratic families were huge and had many descendants spread across different places. It was almost certain that some of them would harbour resentment toward their own family. Mira herself was an example of this.

If they could remove the people at the top and support those who were willing to cooperate, they could weaken the families without destroying everyone connected to them.

"Good."

Ethan stood up and walked toward her. He placed both hands on Mira's shoulders and looked at her seriously.

"As expected from my wife."

"Mira, I want you to lead the Halcrest matters. I will also find others to help."

Mira looked at him quietly.

"You don't need to suppress your desire, and you can do what you want. Don't wipe out the hatred hidden inside you for the bigger picture."

A small smile appeared on Mira's face.

She stepped closer and wrapped her arms around Ethan's waist.

"I just want to finish the person I hate, not the entire Halcrest."

Ethan looked down at her and smiled.

"I know."

Mira rested her head against his chest for a moment. The hatred she had carried for so many years had not disappeared, but it was no longer the only thing she had.

Now she has a family.

Mira rested her head against his chest for a moment. The hatred she had carried for so many years had not disappeared, but it was no longer the only thing she had.

Now she has a family.

And she had something much more important to protect.

…. .

Ethan walked out of the room and slowly closed the door behind him. His expression had already become serious again as he looked toward the garden where the children were playing under the watch of the maids. He stood there for a moment, watching them laugh and run around before finally turning away.

"Hall."

His voice was calm, but there was a clear seriousness in it.

The next moment, the air beside him slightly distorted, and a masked man silently appeared beside Ethan. He wore a dark robe that covered most of his body, and his face was hidden behind a plain black mask. He immediately lowered his head.

"My Lord."

Ethan looked at him and folded his arms.

"I have a few instructions for you."

The masked man straightened slightly and waited.

"First, increase the surveillance around the Blank Estate. I don't want anyone getting close without us knowing."

"Understood."

"Second, send people to the Imperial Capital. I want a complete report on the situation there. Don't just watch the main streets. Check the aristocratic families, their forces, the palace and the underground routes."

The masked man nodded and carefully remembered every word.

"Yes, my Lord."

Ethan paused before continuing.

"Third, ask our people to keep an eye on the Crown Princess and Prince Charles. Don't approach them yet. I only want information about their current situation."

"Understood."

"If they are moved from the palace, I want to know immediately."

The masked man gave a firm nod.

"I will make sure the information reaches you as quickly as possible."

Ethan looked at him for a moment before speaking again.

"Fourth, send people to investigate the four aristocratic families. Ambrose, Halcrest, Cravik and Devine."

"See who harbours grievances against them."

The masked man's eyes narrowed slightly behind his mask.

"Do you want information about their leaders?"

"No need. Don't focus on researching individual strength for now. Focus on the numbers."

Ethan's tone became firmer as he continued.

"I want their members, branches, businesses, important allies, military forces and connections with other nobles. I also want to know which members are dissatisfied with their own families."

The masked man understood immediately.

"Especially the ones who might be willing to cooperate."

Ethan folded his arms and nodded.

"Don't start anything yet. We are gathering information, not starting a war."

"Yes, my Lord."

Ethan then looked toward the direction of the study. He remained silent for a moment before remembering another matter.

"One more thing."

"Yes, my Lord."

"If we decide to help the Crown Princess, I want the route through the underground passage prepared. Check whether it is still usable and remove anything that could expose our people."

The masked man lowered his head.

"I will handle it."

Ethan nodded.

There were already too many things happening at once. The aristocratic families were negotiating with the Emperors. The division of Arcadia was still being handled. The Crown Princess wanted to escape, and now he had to decide whether to involve himself in that matter.

Hall suddenly reappeared several steps away.

"My Lord!"

Ethan turned toward him.

Hall hesitated before speaking.

"I think you should ask the Emperors about this."

Ethan nodded without hesitation.

"Naturally. We have to inform them. We can't just do our own wish. I will inform them of the suggestions, and the rest will be left to their wish."

Hall bowed.

"Understood."

Ethan looked at him for a moment before giving a simple command.

"Depart!"

Swoosh!

Hall disappeared swiftly.

The corridor became quiet again.

Ethan rubbed his forehead as the headache returned. He had thought that after returning home, he would finally have some time to rest. Instead, one problem had followed another.

He looked toward the garden again.

The voices of his children reached him from outside, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"I just came home..."

He sighed and shook his head.

"I thought I would have a lovely vacation alas.."

Ethan looked toward the sky with a tired expression before slowly walking toward the garden.
