Chapter 6198

Facing Maria’s praise, Lily replied humbly, “Senior, you’re being too generous. I’m nowhere near capable of a counterattack just yet. I’ve only made some secret preparations. Additionally, my husband had laid out various plans for me before his death and assembled a professional team. If I were alone, I might not have even managed to escape.”

Maria smiled gently and inquired, “Has Mrs. Wade made any significant breakthroughs with the Mirren family?”

Lily responded, “Honestly, senior, there are indeed a few individuals within the Mirren family who feel that they have facilitated Morgana’s wrongdoing over the years. While they have gained numerous material benefits, they also bear severe guilt. However, those wishing to overthrow Morgana aren’t in positions of power. Although they can provide some information, they aren’t likely to be very helpful.”

Maria nodded and suddenly had an insight. She continued eloquently, “Mrs. Wade’s thoughts have inspired me. Although the majority of the Mirren family supports the tyrants, they must surely be anxious about the future. For the last three to four hundred years, they’ve been safeguarded by Morgana, allowing them to live comfortably and enjoy great wealth. However, with Morgana having less than a century left to live, they must be concerned about the drastic changes that will follow her death.”

Lily’s eyes widened, and she looked at Maria, eager for her next words.

Maria elaborated, “While the Mirren family is allied with Morgana, she has no heirs. She doesn’t need to worry about her bloodline after her passing. In contrast, the Mirren family does not possess an elixir for immortality. They depend on generations of reproduction to survive. Therefore, once Morgana’s five-hundred-year lifespan comes to an end, will the descendants of the Mirren family still be able to hold sway over the Three Elders? Will they still control the dead soldiers and cavalry guards? Will they be able to fend off external threats to the Warriors Den? These are likely challenges that the Mirren family will encounter.”

“So, it occurred to me that we could find a way to make the Mirren family aware of this significant risk, prompting them to gradually distance themselves from Morgana. Simultaneously, we can raise Morgana’s suspicions about the Mirren family. Given her naturally distrustful and volatile nature, once she becomes wary of them, conflict between the two sides is inevitable. For Morgana, addressing the Mirren family’s detachment will undoubtedly pose a complex systemic issue.”
