Chapter 193 The Real Grand Duke
Just when Long Aotian set off with his younger brother to join the executive team, they were thousands of miles away in the Lord's Castle in Eagle City, the capital of the Principality of Kasmi.
There were weak magic lights on both sides of the dim hall. Rows of knights wearing white sheep armor were arranged in two rows, as neatly arranged as the stone pillars next to them. They were wearing laurel wreaths. A boy in rich clothes was sitting on top of it very uncomfortably. On the eagle-headed chair, he was twisting and turning restlessly, as if he was not used to such a hard stone chair.
There is a lady in robes sitting on the left. Although the wrinkles around the corners of her eyes are somewhat clear, she still cannot block her charming face. It is obvious that this woman must have been a beauty when she was young. Unlike this lady, standing on the right Instead, he is a man in sharp and gorgeous Aries armor, with strands of long red hair peeking out from under his helmet. Alfred, or should he be called, Regent Prime Minister Count White Orchid, Alfred, the leader of the Aries Knights. Gardenia
Of course, it doesn’t take much. The child sitting next to him in the first seat is the only son of the Grand Duke Victoria, but that noble lady is the wife of the Grand Duke. The sister of the Marquis of Nageland of the Engelland Empire can clearly see that the only son of the Grand Duke, who is still young, has no He didn't like the work of politics. He was not happy at all when he inherited the title of Duke at a young age.
His legs that could not reach the ground were swinging back and forth, and his immature face was full of boredom. All he wanted was to continue the unfinished game with some noble children from yesterday: "Depp, you are a Duke now, this The ruler of this country, you should pay attention to your words and deeds. Have you forgotten the etiquette your mother taught you yesterday?"
The mother next to her stared at her eyes and immediately lowered her voice to reprimand, but it had little effect. Instead, the young ruler pouted and looked aggrieved: "Mother, when will father come back? I don't want to play the lord game anymore. I want to go back and paint." There is no way this noble lady would tell a child under the age of ten that the Grand Duke was killed in battle. She just used nice words to deceive this guy. The Grand Duke has gone to the empire and will not come back for a long, long time.
Just when the lady was suppressing the grief of her husband's death in battle and wanted to teach her precious son a lesson, an old voice suddenly came from the gate, immediately shutting up the possibly quarreling mother and son: "Dear Grand Duke, I am here to say Warmest regards”
Alfred turned around and saw Kalech, who was wearing white sheep armor. He took off his helmet, crossed his chest and glanced at Alfred secretly. Then he lowered his head and said, "Finance Minister Frederikka The Marquis of Meng took away a large amount of treasury wealth, totaling 100,000 gold coins, and fled the principality with 3,000 private soldiers."
"What? One hundred thousand gold coins? Frederick is not such a person. He has always admired the Grand Duke and was a person whom the Grand Duke trusted during his lifetime. There is no way he would do such a thing." The lady immediately stood up to argue excitedly, but she stood up Alfred, who was on the side, suddenly laughed faintly, and suddenly interrupted the noble lady: "It was precisely because the Grand Duke died in the battle that Frederick betrayed him completely regardless of the supremacy of his father Najones. Honor has trampled on the glory of his Lion family for generations." "Alfred, shut up."
The lady next to her who heard Alfred's behavior immediately reprimanded her, but the Depp boy who heard these words suddenly widened his eyes with tears lingering in his eyes and helplessly stretched out his hand to hold his mother's hand. Skirt, asked pitifully: "Mom, what did you just say? Father died in the war?" "Um, kid, this is a misunderstanding."
The noble lady suddenly realized that she had missed something and was about to make up for it when Alfred next to her said softly with a cruel smile: "Yes, my lord, your father died in the battle." "How did he die?" Did he die in battle as bravely and fearlessly as a knight, as the book says?"
Depp immediately turned around sadly and looked at Alfred as if praying. At the same time, Alfred also saw the angry look from the lady but turned a deaf ear and said with a sinister smile. : "No, no, no, my lord, Grand Duke Victoria, died without any chivalry. I witnessed it with my own eyes. He knelt on the ground begging, looking at the devil like a frightened lamb, and was smashed into pulp." "You, you lied" "Alfred, I warn you, the person you are asking about is your lord, the lord you swore allegiance to"
Alfred glanced at the sad and angry mother and son with disdain, turned around, and ordered Kalech in the audience like a king: "Take away the honor of the Frederick Camon family and cancel it." The legality of his heraldry took back all the wealth and territory under the name of the Camon family. All members of the Camon family took away their aristocratic power and were reduced to untouchables. Frederick's family all took off their clothes and hung them with ropes in the city. On the door, if Frederick does not come back and confess his crime in ten days, all his family members will be sent to see Enos."
"Alfred, you can't do this." The lady immediately stood up and protested angrily, but Alfred looked at Kalech unmoved and said slowly: "Of course, these are all our Grand Duke, De Pu means" "Yes, respected Grand Duke, I will go back and do it."
Kalechi immediately suppressed a proud smile and answered like this, only for Depp, who was sitting on the side, to shout innocently: "It's not my order, it's Alfred's life." "Kid, no more."
The noble lady suddenly covered her child's mouth. All the original anger seemed to be stuffed into her chest at this moment. She could only see the flash of anger from those eyes. She finally understood. After a long time, this Alfred... It is obvious that he wanted to maintain the power of this principality and eliminate dissidents. It is not difficult to imagine that Frederick must have known that the disaster was coming and fled the so-called 100,000 gold coins. Otherwise, he would be swallowed by this Alfred secretly.
"By the way, Grand Duke, there is one more thing to report. At the outpost near the Warcraft Forest, some resurrected corpses were recently discovered attacking civilians. The local lords hope that the Grand Duke will send troops to support them. More than twenty soldiers have died there. The subordinates of his dead companions" "Undead? Does the Night Owl Black Wizard?"
As soon as he heard the news, Alfred immediately narrowed his eyes. The Night Owl Black Wizards were basically a puppet organization formed by Paladin. He didn't remember controlling the puppets and practicing the magic of resurrecting the dead. There was only one possibility, and that was some people hiding in the dark. The real dark wizards found out about the Night Owl Black Wizards and came here to harm civilians, hoping to attract people from the Black Wizards to join them.
Alfred, who was deep in thought, suddenly saw Kalechi and continued: "After the Holy See learned the news, it has sent a large number of tribunal executives to eliminate the dark wizards. I believe they will be able to arrive in the principality in less than a month." Oh?" Alfred Weiwei thought in his mind that these obstructive dark wizards should be eradicated as soon as possible. It would not be fun if the Inquisition was led to find the main body. Soxìng immediately said: "Send the Eagle City Infantry Regiment and Aries. There are a total of five hundred knights supporting you." "Yes, Grand Duke."
Alfred nodded obediently, his rebellious intentions clearly revealed. The noble lady couldn't stand it anymore, so she yanked her child and turned around to leave. The child didn't forget to shout: "Let's break up, I'm sleepy."
But what's funny is that when the real Grand Duke spoke, all the knights and lords below remained motionless. The lady who felt strange looked at this and knew that Alfred took a gentle breath, waved his hand and said: "Let's go." The knight and lord bowed respectfully and said, "Yes." The angry lady, whose face turned purple, stared directly at the scornful Alfred, grabbed the child's hand and left without looking back (to be completed) Continued)
