Since the beginning of last year, the number of people requesting to join the Brotherhood has surged.

It's difficult for the Brotherhood whether they agree or refuse.

If they agree, it means a large influx of irrelevant personnel into the Brotherhood.

The contradictions between the upper and lower levels of the Brotherhood, which could previously be balanced, will become increasingly difficult to control due to the surge in personnel.

If they refuse, it means the Brotherhood will no longer represent the populace, and its foundation in Tunisia will be directly undermined.

Neither choice is right or wrong.

It's a matter of choosing, and if there's a correct answer, just select it.

The real torment is that both choices are wrong; it depends on which consequences of the wrong choice you are willing to bear.

Clearly, the Brotherhood has chosen to absorb the personnel.

Thus, the Duke Prime Minister finds himself in an awkward position.

Being roasted is not only the Brotherhood but also himself.

However, even the nobles who disagree with the Duke Prime Minister's political views are not pleased.

They wish to see order and stability.

While the Duke has become unlucky, the problems that were finally eased over the past two years have begun to re-emerge one after another.

Fortunately, about the end of last year, Beatrice the Regent Princess from the Ense Empire visited Tunisia.

Both sides communicated regarding the exchange of high-end talent in the mage industry and reached a cooperative intention.

Not long after, it seems that the Ense Empire swept away a batch of senior intelligence personnel.

They don't quite know the specifics, but the Tunisian nobility knows that during this time, the Elf King of the High Forest looks as if he's lost his mother.

Although Tunisia has greater conflicts with the Secret Forest, it doesn't stop them from laughing at the High Forest, which has the same sacred origins.

But they soon couldn't laugh.

Because at the end of last year, with the surge in Brotherhood personnel, and increased dissatisfaction with the upper levels, an internal upheaval suddenly erupted.

On a certain night, members of the Tunisian Brotherhood launched a New Year offensive.

This group of crazy fiends, stirred up by some batch, directly attacked the Royal Knight Academy.

Had someone not noticed something amiss and forcibly stopped it, it wouldn't have been a conflict issue but a question of how many people would bleed.

Public opinion was in an uproar for a time.

Various rumors circulated among the populace.

It was still the Duke who previously went to the Brotherhood, leveraging the prestige accumulated among Brotherhood members over the years, to deal with those who needed dealing with.

Then he went to the Noble Council to have a good heart-to-heart with those nobles who had many children studying at the Royal Knight Academy.

Finally, he even accompanied the head to the academy to quell the students' fears.

After this rotation, the new year arrived.

From the populace to the Brotherhood, then to the Noble Council, everyone was satisfied with this handling.

The only one whose interests were harmed was the Duke who personally stepped in.

After all, when you go to seek favors and succeed, you inevitably damage the Duke's reputation.

Especially since the Brotherhood surprisingly targeted students, it significantly lowered their prestige not only among the upper nobility but also among ordinary citizens.

There's no surprise that those troublemakers came from the Brotherhood newcomers who joined last year.

No need to guess, it's certain that some forces stirred them behind the scenes.

After all, the Brotherhood is mostly a loose group.

Attempting to unite and assault the National Royal Knight Academy without someone organizing behind the scenes is impossible.

But that night was truly chaotic, no one knew how many people quietly died and ultimately nothing was discovered upon inspection.

Fortunately, in the new year, this situation was alleviated.

Because their good counterpart, Ense, sent them warming news during this chilling winter.

It was a letter from Beatrice the Regent Princess.

The letter outlined the general problems Ense encountered during this period.

It particularly emphasized the existence of the Abyssal Church, Love God's dark side, and the Rudelson Organization.

It subtly mocked the spies from the High Forest.

Moreover, they provided extremely powerful intelligence, indicating they've noticed large-scale activities of the Abyssal Church and Rudelson Organization in Tunisia.

The letter firmly stated that Ense discovered this matter after tracking extreme evil organizations.

But the Noble Council knew that, damn it, this was the news collected by those enële scoundrels' operatives in their country.

——But they had no choice but to accept this favor from Ense.

Early this year, after some investigation, they confirmed Ense's claims.

The frequency of Abyssal Church activities in Tunisia indeed increased significantly in recent years.

After the next intelligence officer ran out, Tunisia and Ense jointly announced they would further collaborate on the Abyssal Church, Love God's dark side, and Rudelson Organization.

To combat evil forces and maintain continental order.

——Yes, regardless of the true cause of the turmoil caused by Brotherhood, throw the blame on these organizations first.

Ironically, amidst the joint strike, they truly discovered traces of Abyssal Church involvement behind it.

So deflect the blame onto the actual culprits!

The Abyssal Church's Tunisian branch never dreamed that, due to the neighboring branch causing trouble, while they were hiding well, they'd be directly caught.

On that night at the gallows, old nobles, the Brotherhood, and the populace rarely sat together with smiles on their faces.
