Marquis Farshid never paid attention to his father's arrangements. If he had obeyed everything, he would have died long ago. That very human father always thought that everyone had the same rights as him.
Reckless capital. As a son, I feel very tired.
He shook the small bell on the desk. The clear sound of the bell, under the influence of magic, resonated with another bell in the waiting room outside the study. The deacons waiting here knew that their young master had summoned them, so they
Just push the door open and enter without any notice.
"Call the groom in charge of the stables. We want all three of them."
After hearing the instructions from Marquis Farshid, the deacons looked solemn and immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. They all bowed and made arrangements without waiting for more instructions, leaving only the two closest people in the study.
Inside.
After a while, the three unkempt grooms were called into the study. Their original awkward and timid appearance disappeared as soon as the door of the study was closed. Instead, the three men's six eyes were shining brightly.
He looked at the middle-aged nobleman in front of him with a look of gentleness and elegance, but actually possessed violent power.
"A group of horses will be sent to the imperial capital from the family's territory. There are not only high-quality stallions in them, but also excellent horses after the Duke's guard reduced the number of horses. After arriving in the imperial capital, they can be used as gifts and to supplement the Duke's army.
This is very important, so the three of you are required to return to the territory together to receive these horses. There will be guard knights accompanying you to escort these horses to the imperial capital, and everything will be subject to their arrangements. Your task is
Take good care of those horses."
Beginning with these words, Marquis Farhid explained various matters in detail, as well as instructing the remaining deacons on whom to give gifts to. At first glance, the conversation sounded like a qualified heir to a family.
, after the head of the family made the decision, he filled in the missing pieces, helped his father manage the relationship with other nobles, and tried to win over people.
But in fact, as soon as the three grooms entered the study and closed the door, the two deacons began to take off the clothes of Marquis Farshed. At the same time, two grooms took off the clothes of the third groom and exchanged them neatly.
He took off the clothes of the marquis and the groom, and then dressed the marquis in the clothes of a servant, equally unkempt.
After the original groom was groomed and carefully taken care of by two deacons, he looked like an aristocrat. Even his appearance was 70% similar to Marquis Farshid. If he were not someone close to him and kept an eye on him all the time.
, I am afraid it will be difficult to notice that this Marquis has changed.
When the other two grooms grabbed a handful of dust from their bags and slapped it on the Marquis's face like a powder puff, the exchange of identities between master and servant finally came to an end.
They were sure that the sound in the study would be monitored, so the two people who had exchanged identities did not dare to shout loudly. They gave each other a hug, and Marquis Farshid, dressed as a groom, whispered in the stand-in's ear: "Brother, what's next
I leave everything to you."
"Needless to say, the most important thing is that you come back alive. The old man is too impulsive. Someone has to take on the role of calmness." The former groom who was hugged also whispered.
The substitute whom the Marquis calls his eldest brother is actually the illegitimate son of the old Duke. The two have lived together since childhood, received the same education, and received the same treatment. Only after they reached adulthood, one became the Grand Duke's second son because of their different mothers' identities.
One heir, the other can only stay in the stable, becoming a substitute who will be needed at some point.
This kind of situation is not uncommon in the families of great nobles. In order to protect the important people in the family, substitutes will be selected from their brothers and sisters, and they will hide their identities in the name of dying of illness. In addition to serving as substitutes to confuse the enemy,
At the extreme end, after a family important person is unfortunately assassinated, he will become a substitute and step in to maintain the stability of the family and attack the enemy.
Sometimes the identity and status between the substitute and the real person are reversed, but this situation is rarely known to outsiders. After all, they are all family blood, and it is natural for the better person to rise to the top. This will also put pressure on the real person, knowing that he is not
Naturally, an indispensable family member cannot be reduced to an uneducated playboy.
But one is in the light, the other is in the dark, and the relationship between the avatar and the original body is not entirely harmonious. Some families also have civil strife because of this. But in the Kawei family, it may be that the old man is too uneasy, and he
The relationship between the children is very harmonious. After all, if they don't stick together, they may be tricked to death by the old man. This is such an example right now.
Because of the unexpected actions of the family leader, both the avatar and the main body are in danger. So it is the best choice to find a way to protect the main body and escape in a direction where there seems to be a way to survive.
The two exchanged identities, giving the Marquis a chance to escape. This was also an escape route that had been prepared for a long time. Now that it is in use, all the arrangements seem very reasonable. Except in the eyes of others, the Marquis did not realize that he was in danger.
Leave everything as usual.
Marquis Farshid, who was dressed as a groom, also led by two other people, returned to the servant's residence and packed his luggage. It was just past noon, and the servants followed the order and it was not conspicuous to go out from the Duke's Palace. Farshid
Marquis Sid and the other two protectors, who were also dressed as grooms, simply packed a few things and left together calmly.
They also knew that they could not deceive them for long with such a disguise. But as long as they left the city gate of the imperial capital first, there would naturally be other pick-up points in the manors or villages outside, where they could switch to fast horses and leave quickly. But now they could only pretend to be a
A dedicated servant walks quickly on two legs to handle the instructions from the family.
The three people walking on the road didn't get much attention. In fact, in the capital of this huge empire, there are countless people at the bottom who are making a living.
But in fact, when they left the Duke's Palace, they found several hidden sentries. Who arranged it was not clear. Fortunately, no one followed. It seems that the disguised deception tactic was successful. So the three of them did not
You may be proud of your place, but you may leave quickly with your head down.
At the same time, a report was delivered to the emperor's personal guards. The red envelope represented an emergency, or news that the emperor was concerned about and needed to be reported back in time. Hidden in the palace, the extraordinary person who had served several emperors was like a
Like the new recruits in the Guards Corps, the red envelope report was respectfully sent to the emperor's study, and was handed over to the emperor by another personal attendant, who was also his senior.
The old emperor, whose energy was no longer what he used to be, rubbed his dim eyes before opening the report. He never doubted that the old dog's teeth were quite strong and could tear off a piece of flesh from anyone he bit.
.But this time it was the prime minister of the empire who was bitten, and he actually showed off the blood flag, which made the old emperor want to bite the old dog!
But after he read the report, everything on the emperor's imperial desk was in close contact with the walls or floors. No matter whether the items were precious or were things he cherished based on his own habits, there were only a few items that could remain intact.
The table was swept away and clean.
The old man had not roared loudly for a long time. The last time there was this sound that spread throughout the palace, countless heads fell to the ground. Now when he heard this sound again, everyone in the palace, whether they were in front of the emperor or not, all prostrate themselves on the ground and trembled.
