Chapter 643
West Sacrament, Imperial Capital Golovin, Sky Dome.
Hanging high in the sky in the scorching summer, amid the leisurely bells of the cathedral, a group of tired nobles are filed out from the steps in front of the gate of the Vault of Heaven, walking still not forgetting After whispering and discussing something in a low voice, all faces were nervous, excited, or wild ambition.
Everything looks the same as the one at the end of the Celestial Palace Imperial Front Council once a week... But only the attendees really know that everything will be very different after today's meeting.
Especially some people who are in control of the "insider"...
On the balcony somewhere in the palace, on the side of the "shameful prince" Brandon Desalion. Playing chess with Princess Zhang, while looking at the noble congressmen who filed out below, with unruly smiles on their lips.
The left hand that lifts the chess piece hangs above the chessboard, and the right hand holding the letterhead is behind him, and it is stamped with the letter of a certain "wizard consultant".
"Hey, it's time for you to go." The expressionless Dame reminded him "kindly".
"Don't worry, don't worry, Sister-in-law should take a closer look...After the chess game, you can no longer regret it." Brandon grinned and kept playing with the war chess in his hand.
Playing chess with Ms. Fitroni... is a very special feeling for Brandon.
Although the sword is superb and has the ability to see through other people's thoughts at a glance, the chess skill of Her Highness the Princess... is unexpectedly bad, and after many years of practice, nothing has changed. It has always been straightforward. , "Naive and simple" is like a four-five-year-old child.
Therefore, playing chess with Fitronay has become an untiring entertainment for Brandon-from the very beginning to easily defeat my sister, to deliberately release water, and finally win if you want to win. If you want to lose, you will lose, even the innocent sister-in-law on the chessboard, staged a variety of "Danger Land counter-kills"... has become a daily routine for the two of them recently.
The corner of my eyes glanced at the meditating sister-in-law Fitlowney, the corner of Brandon's mouth became a bit deeper, and at a moderate pace, the war chess was sent to the front of sister-in-law's Knight.
Within three moves, my sister-in-law will definitely take the chess piece; after five moves, she will attack... After twenty moves, her king chess will take the initiative to send to her, and wait I didn't even notice it being eaten.
Aiya, it's really hesitant; should I eat it right away, or should I tease her for a while? If you continue to play like this, there seems to be a risk of being noticed...
"Your saliva is about to drip onto the board."
"en? Are there any?!"
The "humiliated prince" turned pale in fright hurriedly, rubbed a few hands on his face, and found nothing except the stiff dimples that he almost laughed.
"I mean...'Hurry' dropped on the chessboard." Her voice was calm and indifferent, full of quiet power without any waves: "Looking at you smiling so happy, what's the fun? Is it something?"
"Happy? no no no …As a member of the Imperial Father's Imperial Cabinet and the host of the House of Nobles, I am very sad!"
Brandon sighed pretentiously, laughing so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the back of his teeth. People are so worried."
"Oh, is it?" Fitronay gave him a sarcastically, "Some people really have empires in their hearts, and they don't take pleasure in other people's misfortune at all." "
"Of course, after all, I am also the second heir to the empire. It is a matter of considering the future of the empire as it should be by rights." Brandon immediately showed his seriousness. Expression:
"As a symbol of the Empire in Byrne, it is also the great nobleman of Western Sacrament, and the Governor of Byrne, His Excellency Gaspar Wien, who represents the authority of the Vault of Heaven. He is a heretic who secretly believes in Evil God!"
"Not only that, he also instigated the nobles in the Scarlet Blood Fort, and secretly formed a large-scale heretical sect centered on Governor Byrne’s Mansion. The Scarlet Blood Castle counts, killing and persecuting local civilians and churches, doing evil, but also not forgetting to block intelligence, relying on Byrne and Imperial Capital's remoteness, I think no one can know what he did."
Brandon's contemptuous shook the head, with a worried look: "If there is still room for redemption by this step, then the raid by the heretical sect on Byrne Cathedral is really fixed!"
"The cathedral was destroyed, Archbishop himself was brutally murdered at the altar, and more than three-digit church members were tortured to death... This is irreparable and devastating damage to the majestic reputation of the empire and the Vault of Heaven!"
"As the son of the Imperial Father, I must stand up to restore the credibility of the empire at this time, at least not to let the nobles of Byrne be completely disappointed in the empire." Leaning forward, opening the mouth and said "righteously and strictly":
"Miss Fitronay, it is time to test whether we are united enough!"
The expressionless long Her Highness the Princess glances slightly, saying that he doesn't want to bother him at all .
"I'm serious, really." Brandon shrugged lazily, feeling helpless to the remaining unmoved Princess Zhang: "And the tongue I said is almost dry, so my sister planned Why look at it?"
"Yes, see how long a triumphant guy can be proud."
Fitlownay stopped the game with no expression on his face. Bo Lan looked up: "I guess these all are your wizard advisers told you, did he even deal with the Imperial Cabinet and the Imperial Brother...your father told you?"
"On the contrary! In addition to complaining continuously, I just threw everything left to me." Brandon rolled the eyes, and his expression on the corners of his mouth was very annoyed:
"I let him go to the blood Fort solves the trouble for me, not to cause more trouble for me!"
Fitlownet's still staring at him intently: "So?"
"So The troubles of Scarlet Blood Castle and Byrne Duchy must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the princes will ask the Heavenly Vault to give them an explanation-at the moment we only need to deal with a violent female count, not six ready to gang up and attack. Duchy!"
"Really, but how much does this matter have to do with you?"
"No one is an island, no one can live alone, so don’t ask the death knell Who speaks... These are the original words of my dear wizard advisor, although I think he should have copied it from somewhere, because it is not like what he would say."
lightly snorted cloth Langdon sighed: "If I'm going to stay out of the way, this death knell will sound for me!"
Fitlownet's eyes flickered slightly, and his eyes seemed to have seen through Brandon's thoughts.
"Are you going to intervene in Byrne's affairs?"
"Yes, I've been ready a long time ago." Crossing his hands and fingers, the embarrassing prince showed an abrupt smile on his face: "Although I don't know who did the good thing, it did give me a great opportunity."
"As everyone knows, Gaspar Wien is a faithful henchman of Connold Imperial Brother. , His loss in Byrne means that the Imperial Brother’s reputation has been greatly damaged. The most important thing is that because of this incident, I am afraid that the empire has no way to plant another governor to Byrne. The counts will surely come together and attack. "
"At this time, the most important thing is to stabilize the situation in Byrne, so that Duchy counts can restore confidence in the empire as soon as possible, and at the same time choose a duke who is loyal and trustworthy to the empire. To ensure that there will be no rebellion and terrifying civil war!"
Brandon smiled brilliantly: "There is no doubt that people who can solve this matter need enough prestige and identity-Imperial Father is absolutely not allowed to come forward, because he wants to let His Majesty the Emperor take responsibility; and the Imperial Brother is even worse, because as everyone knows Gaspar is his person."
"So at this time, Who else can solve this kind of trouble in the Sky Vault and the Empire? Who else can raise one's arms and let Byrne Duchy rise again and become the loyal help of the Empire?"
"That’s what you have. Confidence, the Imperial Cabinet will choose you?" Fitronay looked at him contemptuously.
"It's not that they have confidence, but they didn't have a choice; in contrast, wouldn't it be a good choice to make me the savior of the empire?" Brandon smiled triumphantly and took it away. Picked up his own Knight and tapped it lightly on the chessboard:
"General——!"
