"Father, this guy is also one of the second sons chosen by Bernard. He has a strong opinion on Nalant. He wanted to curry favor with me and the eldest prince last time, but I didn't take notice at that time."
"Now that he comes so late, there must be something going on, so I'm going to meet him!" Tony explained immediately.
"Well, you meet me then. I'll go to the compartment first!" Lakoff nodded after hearing this. He was also curious about what the Tulip vassal was doing, so he walked into the small compartment in the tent.
Soon, Billy was brought in by a servant.
"I've met Master Tony!"
"You're welcome Sir Billy, come and have a seat!" Although he was frustrated by Nalant every time, as the heir to the earl, Tony was not really a fool.
At this moment, Billy was greeted very warmly and sat on the sofa nearby.
"A cup of honey tea for Sir Billy!"
After Billy sat down, Tony immediately gave instructions to the servants.
The tea was good and Billy felt enough heat before Tony continued: "Sir Billy, after our last meeting, I originally wanted to send someone to find you to have a drink and chat with you, but I was too busy with the war so I didn't have time.
I didn’t expect you to come here on your own initiative today, what’s the matter?”
"Master Tony is so polite. I actually came here this time to tell Master Tony some news."
As the second son of a minor nobleman, Billy had never received such enthusiasm from an earl's heir.
Although he knew that most of this enthusiasm was definitely false, it was enough to make him feel a little elated, and he immediately spoke directly to explain his purpose.
"Oh? What news?"
"Master Tony, isn't His Majesty the King planning to send teams to station everywhere this time? The candidates our Tulip family is planning to send are Miss Stella, Nalant, and two young barons, Rael and Boris!"
"Narant is among them?" Hearing the word Narant, Tony clenched his fist unconsciously.
"Yes, Master Tony, what our Lord Earl means is that Nalant has a reward from His Majesty the King, which will allow him to garrison the passage and gain great benefits!" Tony's reaction was clear to Billy, and he felt more reassured.
"Well, thank you Sir Billy for sending me this news, but Sir Billy, I don't know what your intention is in passing the news to me?" Tony put away his uncontrollable emotions and continued to ask.
"Master Tony, I know that you and Nalant have a big grudge, so I won't hide it anymore!"
"Nalant is now highly regarded by the Earl. Even Miss Stella treats him differently. And I, the second son who also participated in the competition, has been completely outclassed by him!"
"So, I want to help Master Tony deal with Nalant!"
Billy was also straightforward and made no secret of his purpose.
Of course, if Nalant's advantage hadn't almost left the younger sons far behind, he wouldn't have dared to go to such an extreme.
"Help me deal with Narant?" Tony smiled half-heartedly.
After sizing up Billy for a few seconds, Tony continued: "Then what do you think is the best way to deal with Nalant?"
"Sir Tony, I can secretly send someone to follow Narant and report their whereabouts to you this time!"
"Report your whereabouts? Do you want to assassinate Nalant? Billy, this is a big deal, and it is not easy to succeed, because he is accompanied by the heir of your earl, the Tulip Flower!"
Billy had just finished speaking, and before Tony could say anything, a deep voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
"Who?" Billy was startled. He was planning to assassinate a fellow vassal, and he would be in trouble if it was leaked out.
"Sir Billy, don't worry, this is my father!" Tony immediately reassured.
After hearing this, Billy looked over and saw clearly that it was Lakoff, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meet Count Rackoff!"
"Well, sit down!" Lakoff nodded to Billy, and then sat in the front seat again.
"You want to deal with Nalant, but you are too hasty. If you kill him immediately, you will definitely attract the attention of Bernard and even the king." After sitting down, Rakov said calmly.
"Master Lakoff's teaching is correct! I was reckless!" Billy immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
"Well, however, that boy Narant bullied Tony over and over again, and was also domineering and arrogant. He must be taught a lesson. I have thought of a good way here."
"Count Rakov, I don't know what to do!" Rakov said, which made Billy even happier.
"The benefits of this garrison are huge. As long as Oak City is breached, the number of people who can escape must be tens of thousands. Bernard asked Narant to garrison. This is completely partial."
"Perhaps after this battle, Nalant will rise quickly in the future. It will be even harder for you second sons to win the competition!"
"So, if you want to teach Narant a lesson, you must block his possibility of rising this time."
Upon hearing this, Billy nodded immediately, agreeing very much with Lakoff's statement, and then continued to wait for Lakoff to continue speaking with glaring eyes.
Lakov did not let him wait any longer, "I have a plan here, which is to change Narant's stationed position to a farther location. By then he will not receive any benefits, and then there will be no chance for him to rise.
Already."
"Changing the location? Count Krakoff, hasn't His Majesty the King already decided?" Billy was a little confused.
"Although Your Majesty has made the decision, the map has not yet been sent out!" Lakoff smiled slightly.
"And among the people sent by your Tulip family this time, both Stella and Nalant are coming to the Northern Principality for the first time, so they must not know the route!"
"As for the other two young barons I just mentioned, I have never heard of them. This shows that they were not Bernard's capable vassals before, and they must be equally unclear about the route of the Northern Principality!"
"In this way, this opportunity is very rare. As long as we return the map to them, the matter will be successful!"
"This..." Although Billy felt it was very reasonable after hearing this, wouldn't it also damage the interests of the Tulip family?
He had the courage to deal with Nalant, but he did not have the courage to harm Bernard's interests, because the consequences were simply not something that a young knight like him could bear.
"Count Rakov, this matter will definitely be discovered in the future, and the earl and the king will definitely investigate it by then."
"Besides, we don't have the map in our hands, how can we exchange it?" Although he already had the intention of shrinking back, Billy couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, Billy boy, you don't have to worry about the risks. After listening to my plan, you will understand!" How could the old fox Lakhu not know what Billy was thinking. "Haha, Billy boy, you don't have to worry about the risks.
, after listening to my plan, you will understand!" What is Billy thinking? How could Lakoff, an old fox, not know.
"The map is not a problem. The eldest prince also hates that boy Nalant. I will ask Tony to explain the situation to the eldest prince later. Then I will ask the eldest prince which herald will be sent by His Majesty the King.
Go to the Tulip family to deliver the map."
"Once the person who sent the map is confirmed, you only need to find a way to delay him on the way, and Billy will replace the map, so that Narant can be smoothly sent to a farther garrison location."
