Conrad betrayed Yuri on the explicit orders of Shinou, the original king of Shin Makoku. His actions were part of a secret mission designed to locate and ultimately retrieve the powerful forbidden boxes.
The Orchestrated Deception
Conrad's betrayal was a calculated maneuver rather than a true change of allegiance. It served as a strategic deception orchestrated by Shinou to achieve a critical objective: gaining knowledge about the whereabouts of the ancient and formidable forbidden boxes.
His role in this intricate plan involved several key steps:
- Infiltration and Intelligence Gathering: Conrad positioned himself as a defector, allowing him to operate within the opposing side. This provided him with direct access to information and enabled him to discreetly gather intelligence regarding the locations of the hidden boxes.
- Facilitating the Gathering of Boxes: His immediate goal was to ensure that the four forbidden boxes were eventually brought together. By appearing to work against Yuri and Shin Makoku, he could subtly influence events to bring these powerful artifacts into one place.
- The Ultimate Retrieval: The culmination of Conrad's mission was to seize the boxes once they were all gathered. His final directive was to steal them and secure their return to Shin Makoku, ensuring they were back under the control of their rightful kingdom.
This elaborate scheme highlights that Conrad's actions were driven by a profound loyalty to Shinou and Shin Makoku, disguised as betrayal to achieve a greater strategic outcome.
