The order from the queen shocked the entire court.
All of them knew what it meant to send the royal army to the north. The ruler of the north was definitely Noel Ardagan. Sending the marshall as his subordinate would mean Noel could actually launch a coup d'etat with the troops the queen lent him.
In other words, he didn't have to dirty his own hands to become a king.
The meaning was different for Wendy.
This was a gamble. A gamble Wendy needed to figure out Noel's intention. And it was also a scheme that worked for her.
She knew that the Muivell Kingdom had been divided. Thanks to her, she managed to control the central and the west. Due to the defeat of the third prince, his influence had retreated, and the east would soon be captured by her sooner or later.
However, it was impossible to control the north. As long as Noel Ardagan was there, no one could touch the north.
Hence, he sent the marshall to the north. Instead of complete control, she sought cooperation.
