127 The Dust Settles(1/2)

Earl of Lant.

Many people showed a bit of confusion on their faces. After all, relatively speaking, although Count Lant was extremely suitable in terms of status, his temper was really a bit irritable.

Giving Count Lant the position of Kingdom Envoy, everyone was worried about whether it might have some unexpected consequences.

At this time, Earl Lant tried his best to appear calm and calm, seeming to explain to everyone that he was no longer the Earl of Lant, and now he was also a nobleman with a graceful manner and etiquette.

Of course, most people know that this Earl of Lant is indeed very irritable. No matter how gentle he behaves at this time, it is difficult for everyone to believe that he is the same on the surface. The impression accumulated over time cannot be eliminated in a moment.

of.

"It seems..." King Ulric also frowned slightly. He was also a little worried about Earl Lant. Earl Lant's temper was as violent as his own. Perhaps for the lord, this

It's not a bad character.

But... as an envoy of the kingdom, especially an envoy who goes to make friends and appease other countries, Count Lant's character is very worrying, but there really is no other candidate.

“But I heard that Count Lant seems to have had quite a conflict with Lord Mousse of the Brown Principality recently.

Lord Mousse is a powerful nobleman of the Brown Principality. It seems that you are not very suitable to go to the Brown Principality as an envoy." At this time, an old noble from the Noble Court came out tremblingly and said to Count Lant.

Damn old thing!

Count Lant's face instinctively changed, with a hint of red appearing. He kept saying "suck it up" in his heart, and at the same time squeezed out a smile, "I think there may be some errors in Lord Galt's news.

It is understandable that some merchants in two different territories have conflicts with each other, but this does not mean that there will be conflicts between me and Lord Mousse. This is just that the merchants in the territory have some conflicts.

As the lord of the Earldom of Lant, I will try my best to handle the disputes caused by this issue and will never cause conflicts between the two countries." Earl Lant said with a smile.

It is obvious that Earl Lant also expected this situation to happen. He had already thought of the rhetoric and minimized the big issue. If the conflict between two powerful lords was enough to affect the relationship between the two countries, but the merchants in the lord's territory

If a dispute arises, this matter is too trivial.

What a young little fox.

Many nobles and ministers of the kingdom are also sighing in their hearts. Although Earl Lant has a bad temper, he is still very smart. The only issue that may threaten him has already thought of the excuse. Business disputes?

Who among you here would take that into consideration?

It seems that it must be Earl Lant.

The nobles and ministers also had vague speculations, and the few questions were gone. A suitable candidate like Earl Lant is indeed the most likely to become the kingdom's envoy, but it really makes many people a little worried.

.

At this time, a red waiter walked in quickly, with a very hurried expression, and handed a letter to King Ulrik. Someone recognized that this was Huth, the king's closest servant.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they all became serious.

This is the highest-level meeting in the kingdom, and such a letter will be handed over. It is obvious that the things in the letter are extraordinary.

"Count Lant," King Ulric's expression darkened, "I just received some news. Some people said that your second son Raf led the guards in the castle to kill Lord Mous' nephew Volt.

He was arrested and put under house arrest in the castle.

As far as I know, Mous is extremely fond of his nephews, and this caravan is also the caravan of the Mous family. Your behavior is somewhat inappropriate!"

What?

this……

The expressions of many nobles and ministers changed again. This matter has become such a big deal that even His Majesty the King knows about it. Now, it may be mysterious that Earl Lant is determined to win the position of envoy.

"What!" Earl Lant was furious when he heard the news, his face turned red, "This damn traitor, I will definitely beat him to death when I go back!

Your Majesty, this doesn't matter, after all, he is just Mousse's nephew, not Mousse himself, and Mousse is only a powerful official of the Brown Dukedom, not Grand Duke Romy, this does not affect it." Count Lant said seriously.

"Okay, I said you can't do it," King Ulric waved his hand impatiently. He really couldn't stand Earl Lant as an envoy, but he didn't have a suitable candidate for the time being.

"Well, there is another important thing," King Ulric frowned again, "The envoy of Gregory IV once again set off from the capital of Crowland to the Principality of Brown. This is the third time.

Already.

And this time, it is the moody Earl Arnold who is going to the Principality of Brown. This is a matter worthy of attention."

Count Arnoldus...

Many nobles and ministers frowned. This was a very powerful earl in the Kingdom of Crowland. Because of his own prestige and the favor he received from the Dragon Knights, his team was filled with a large number of

dragon warrior.

This is an extremely powerful combat profession. It is the civilian combat profession of the Dragon Knight. Its combat effectiveness is quite terrifying. Earl Arnolds himself is also one of the most powerful Earls in the Kingdom of Crowland.

No wonder His Majesty the King can't make up his mind. Apart from Earl Lant, there is nothing worth sending. Even Earl Lant's prestige is much lower than that of Earl Arnolds, let alone the other earls.

It's a pity that something happened to the Marquis of Herlius, otherwise he would be the most suitable candidate. Although the Marquis is not ranked high among the many marquis, he is still a great nobleman, and Earl Arnolds is also shorter than him.

On the one hand, although the moody earl's combat power and private soldiers are extremely terrifying.

That……

"Fabrier, do you have anything to say?" King Ulric looked at a middle-aged man in the noble team who seemed to be hesitant, and couldn't help but frowned, Faber Klein, Queen Calvin

·Kline’s younger brother.

Is it possible that Marquis Klein plans to take action personally?

However, Marquis Klein is a bit old and not in good health. He can basically avoid things in the kingdom. Can he travel long distances?

"Dear Your Majesty the King, among the earls of the Kingdom, there are very few who are qualified to serve as the Kingdom's envoys," Fabrel said hesitantly.

nonsense……

Many people shook their heads secretly, wondering how the queen's brother was so stupid. Of course, many nobles secretly cheered up. It was obvious that Fabreal usually had no sense of existence, but this time he suddenly

If I stand up, I'm afraid that behind my back...it's the queen's intention.

"So what you mean is to invite a certain marquis to serve as the kingdom's envoy to the Principality of Brown?" King Ulric frowned and said helplessly, and many nobles and ministers were also speechless.

Kingdom envoys are quite attractive to people at the earl level. After all, going to the Brown Principality can broaden your network of contacts, and there is no danger. You can also live a comfortable life, and you can also get a large number of people.

of additional income.

But...for the Marquis?

How can a noble at this level take that mere income seriously? Moreover, each marquis is responsible for the security of the kingdom, and there are so many things in the territory, how can he think about traveling far away?

Oh... Marquis Herlius, that was his request, but His Majesty the King wants to order the Marquis of the Kingdom to go on a mission?

I am afraid that the Marquis will also find a way to refuse. This is really not a wise choice, and may even cause conflicts between the kingdom and the Marquis.

"So Fabre, do you have any suggestions?" King Ulric obviously did not despise Fabre in front of him. Although he is not smart, he grew up in the Klein family and is still very clear about the ways of the nobility.

of.

Now that I have opened this mouth, I am afraid there is another mystery.

“Could it be the Marquis of Brand?” Someone whispered, “His territory seems to be the closest to the Principality of Brown.

And I heard that Marquis Brande is interested in broadening the trade channels in the eastern part of the kingdom, but he is worried about causing the displeasure of the Duke of Alama." Some people speculated that after all, there are only so many people in the territories guarded by the major marquises, so they can be thoughtful.

There are only a handful of them that move.

"I think that since the Kingdom of Crowland sent Count Arnoldus this time, it is necessary for us to invite someone with more authority to meet with Count Arnoldus for a while to avoid losing face in front of the Brown Kingdom.

Therefore, I recommend Marquis Leo Archimonde." Fabrear finally told his grandfather's instructions.

Leo Archimonde?

The nobles and ministers looked at each other, and they all saw their doubts. It was impossible for Faber to think of Leo out of thin air and recommend him. Could it be the intention of the young marquis?

Of course, in terms of status, status and prestige, Leo has far exceeded his needs, but is this necessary? Anti-aircraft guns are like swatting mosquitoes.

The more critical point is whether Marquis Leo Archimonde has this intention. After all, if he is not willing, the king will never force this great nobleman in the kingdom.

"The Marquis of Archimonde is naturally a very suitable candidate." Mirin Hulton said, "I had exchanged letters with the Marquis of Archimonde before, and he said that he would be happy to serve the Kingdom as an envoy to the Duke of Brown."

this……

King Ulric squinted his eyes, his eyes drifting away from Jungle Huton and Fabrell. He was now convinced that it was really Leo who wanted to go. After all, it had been obvious to the queen's family at the kingdom's trial meeting before.

I have a deep friendship with the Archimonde family.

And the old guy Mirin Hughton had offended Leo before, but in the end everything was fine. He had obviously reached some kind of contact with Leo. This time, both parties suggested to Marquis Leo. It was obviously not Faber's sudden inclination.

, but it was Leo’s instruction behind it.

Just that little guy, why is he so keen on being a kingdom messenger? Although a kingdom messenger is majestic, compared to the great nobles at his level, he doesn't have much blessing at all.

As for the extra income that can be earned? For ordinary nobles, that may be a huge amount of wealth, so huge that the earls would be tempted by it, but for the marquis...especially Leo, who is famous for his wealth, that little bit of money can be earned

, should not be taken seriously by him at all?

For a moment, King Ulric felt very confused, but he was also considering this matter carefully. After all, this was the opinion released by Leo.

Of course, King Ulric was not dissatisfied with this opinion. In the Pendor continent, there was no monarchy or centralized power. It was normal for the nobles to have friendship with each other, and alliances and teams.

For example, the previous Earl of Lant, Marquis of Herlius, etc. were all like this. They relied on their strong connections to seek the position of envoy. The same was true for Leo. King Ulric was not unhappy because of this.

.

But...he was really curious, why would Leo be interested in this position?

"What's your opinion?" Although King Ulric was tyrannical, he also wanted to ask everyone. In other words, his attitude was playful and obviously dispensable.
