Before the strong rise of the Merloway family, there were four grand dukes in the empire. These four dukes were all families that existed in the empire a long time ago. These four dukes include the Duke of Rennes, the Duke of Louyan, and the Duke of Minotier.
, and the Duke of Norbury.
Still, the situation is obviously different now. Among the four great dukes, the Duke of Rennes was executed because of the failed coup, and his position was replaced by the new Duke of Meloway, that is, Garserne. The Duke of Minottier had already launched a rebellion before.
, yes, it was also this year. Not only did he declare independence and break away from the Holy Empire of Yilan, he also received support from the Yetis Empire. For this reason, the two countries also fought a war, and Linton also participated in part, and Garsain was in
This is the time when the army becomes famous.
Perhaps it was because there were so many accidents among the dukes this year that Duke Norbury felt a crisis. The four great dukes in the empire had not had a good relationship with the emperor before. When Wigley first came to the throne, the four great dukes all united to provide him with relief.
Overpressure, accidents are happening one after another, and no matter how you look at it, it seems that the emperor wants to settle accounts with the queen.
There is also a big driving factor here, and that is the rise of the new aristocratic Melowei family. The Melowey family has risen rapidly, and has clearly sided with the emperor in previous coups. Of course, this will
Duke Norbury became even more nervous. Originally, the situation in the empire was that four dukes jointly suppressed the emperor. Now two of them have fallen, and a new duke has emerged to help the emperor. Isn't this a crisis?
The last straw that broke the camel's back was probably the wedding of Linton and Princess Arran. Originally, the Noble family was the only one among the four dukes to marry the royal family, but now the Meloway family has also married. Isn't this right?
A signal from the emperor?
Listening to Princess Jorah's analysis, everyone felt that this was indeed the case. If they were Duke Noble, they would definitely be anxious. After all, it looked like the emperor wanted to take action against them, and
The two dukes have already been dealt with. If we don't take action, won't it be their turn next? No wonder Princess Jorah would wonder if Duke Norbury did this. It does make some sense.
So what did the emperor think? Linton felt that the emperor might not have thought so much. In his opinion, the rebellion of the Duke of Rennes and the Duke of Minottier was basically their own fault. It should not be that of Weig.
Li took the initiative to promote it. After all, the emperor himself was critically ill during the Duke of Rennes' time. Could this have been arranged by himself?
What's more, according to Princess Yalan, Emperor Wigley has not taken any measures to restrict the Dukes in recent years. According to normal thinking, when you ascended the throne, you could not withstand the joint suppression of these four Dukes, and there was no way to compromise.
, but after you ascended the throne and secured the throne, shouldn’t you slowly start to settle accounts? But Wigley didn’t do that. In the past ten years, he basically had no intention of messing with these people. Look at this.
Several dukes have begun to rebel unscrupulously, and this is not something Wigley is used to.
Linton felt that this was because Wigley was too cowardly. He had always avoided things that crossed the line. It was the same with the previous declaration of war. He was always timid. Once the emperor was not tough enough, the powerful officials would come forward one after another. The Duke of Rennes
There is no one who is brave enough to directly cheat the emperor.
Of course, escaping cannot solve the problem. Wigley must also bear a large part of the responsibility for what happened to the Duke of the Empire one after another. If Linton hadn't led the Merrowy family to rise at this time, the empire might have been divided or
The flag has changed.
After what Princess Jorah said, several people also felt that Duke Norbury was probably the mastermind behind this incident. So since they were responsible for the Crown Prince's affairs, they must have also done the same for Princess Fulla's ascension to the throne.
Get ready. Just like what Linton said, once Princess Fula succeeds to the throne, there will definitely be no good fruit for the Meloway family to eat. It's time to think about it.
Originally, Garsain just thought that Linton was looking for trouble for him, but after listening to Princess Jorah's words, Garsain also felt that this matter must be seriously considered, otherwise the consequences waiting for them would definitely be undesirable. After thinking about it,
Thinking about it, Garsain asked: "So you mean that we take action to deal with this Duke of Norbury?"
"The solution must be solved." Linton thought for a while and said, "Now that we have entered the game, there is no reason to sit still and wait for death. However, I still have to ask, do you... do you want to take over?"
"No...why did you come back to this topic again?" Gasein held his forehead.
"If you can take over, this matter will be much simpler." Linton said, "If you don't, it will be difficult to operate. You must seriously consider it, and there may be hidden dangers."
"How do you say it specifically?" Garsain asked seriously this time, because he felt that Linton was not making fun of him.
"Does the son of Princess Fula and Duke Norbury have any heirs?" Linton asked.
"Yes, yes." Princess Yalan next to her nodded and said, "Dilas, my nephew, is 4 years old this year. Miranda, my niece, is 1 year old this year."
"If we cause trouble for Duke Norbury, even if we defeat him, have you considered what we will do next?" Linton turned to Garsain and asked, "After all, we are nobles in the empire and can be considered our own. We always
We can't kill, burn, and plunder. Why fight a war that has no benefit? If we want to fight, then what we need is his territory, but it is impossible for us to get his territory. We need a right to claim it. If you take it
If you use this plate, it will be convenient."
After a pause, Linton continued: "Look, after you take over, Princess Fulla will be your wife, and of course her son will also be your son. This four-year-old child named Dilas is the eldest grandson of the current Duke of Noble.
He has the right to inherit the dukedom, right? Then as his stepfather, there is no problem in helping him manage the land until he reaches adulthood. Do we have a reason to take over? Furthermore, if Princess Fulla wants to inherit the throne
, as the emperor’s husband, it’s okay for you to help run the country. Will our family rise to the top in one fell swoop? Controlling two duchies, and having the emperor’s wife as a backing.”
"Uh..." Garsain was really confused. After saying this, he really took this offer for the sake of his family.
"And my wife said that she really wants to stay with his eldest sister." Linton added.
"Oh? Did I say that?" Princess Yalan next to her was stunned for a moment.
"Why don't you have a tacit understanding? You are my wife now, okay? Now you have to help me smooth things over, understand?" Linton said.
"Oh, that's what I said." Princess Yalan nodded.
"I said so." Princess Jorah next to her raised her hand and said.
"You are not my wife, why are you joining in the fun?" Linton said.
"But I really want to see the eldest sister, but the current situation is obviously impossible." Princess Jorah said. Yes, she does miss the eldest sister. Her relationship with Princess Fulla is similar to Yalan's relationship, although
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, but their relationship has not faded.
It's just that under the current situation, it is impossible for Princess Jorah to see him. After all, Princess Fulla still doesn't know if he is one of her own. It is not good to expose her current situation to her without telling her in advance, but to expose it to Duke Norbury.
Otherwise, the Linton and Meroway families would definitely be killed. Although Princess Jorah really wanted to see Fulla, she certainly wouldn't do it now.
"Do you really want to do this?" Garsain didn't worry about Linton's reasons. He was used to it anyway, and he still considered it from the family's perspective. "If we really want to do it, how do we do it?"
"Just find any reason to start a war with them and kill them," Linton said.
"Just looking for a reason? That's not possible. What if His Majesty the Emperor intervenes?" Gaseon asked.
"He's so cowardly that he can cause trouble for us?" Linton said, "If Wigley hadn't been too weak, would this have turned out like this?"
"But what if he did intervene?" Garsain asked.
"What can intervention do? It can't help Duke Norbury over there." Linton said, "Don't think too much about this matter. You see, Wigley's foresight led to this situation. You still want to leave?"
If his route fails, take action directly when you see the opportunity."
"Hmm..." Garsain nodded slightly. Although he still had some doubts, he also knew that although Linton often made trouble for him, he generally would not really harm him or his family, so there should be no problem.
"So you decided to take over?" Linton asked.
"Didn't you ask me to do this?" Garsain shouted.
"That's indeed a good thing. Princess Fula is also very beautiful, and she gave away a son and a daughter for free. She is happy to be a father..."
"I..." Garsain took a deep breath. It was Linton who asked him to do this. Now it is Linton who is trying to persuade him by saying this. Is this doing personnel matters? But after all, it is not the first time.
Garsain was already used to being tricked, so he thought about it and said, "If that's the case, when will we take action?"
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait a while." Linton said, "After all, the crown prince is not dead yet. If it is just the territory of Duke Norbury, it will not be attractive."
A piece of duchy was not attractive either, and Linton had a really big appetite. Gasan held his forehead, indicating that he had a headache.
"Anyway, Princess Yalan and I will go to the palace to see the situation first. Over there..." Before Linton could finish his words, a soldier came in and knocked on the door and shouted: "Your Excellency, someone from the palace is coming, saying there is something urgent.
Let the Third Princess and Lord Sword Master go to the palace immediately to meet with His Majesty."
Linton and others looked at each other directly, thinking that something might have happened.
