I have to say that magic is really a very magical thing.
Especially structural magic that can create something out of nothing and create existing matter. To a certain extent, it already involves the realm of gods.
With such magic, a mansion as luxurious as a manor, which was completely burned down recently, was rebuilt in less than half a month, and it is exactly the same as before, without any difference. If this is not considered
If it's magical, what counts as magical?
Anyway, after Li Ge and others returned to this villa, they didn't find anything different from before. Even the furniture had been perfectly restored.
As a result, everyone didn't need to adapt at all and quickly settled down.
However, there are still changes, just in some other places.
For example, this time Yuri did not arrange for the accompanying knights to train at the training ground in the royal capital. Instead, she asked Ain and Ian to take them and station them in the villa.
For example, Yuli no longer used the magic protection system set up by the palace magicians. Instead, she designed it herself and worked hard to make major changes to the protection system.
For another example, the servants and maids who were recalled by the Franzel family were subject to a certain degree of surveillance. They were watched by the knights led by Ain and Ian. They were no longer allowed to accept others at will like before.
Something happened with the money given.
These are all changes that occur invisibly, and only people with keen senses will discover the details.
Midiste and Isu didn't notice anything. They looked at the entire villa curiously and started to move around in the villa, as if they were on vacation.
Yuli had no intention of telling her two younger siblings about her and Li Ge, so she asked someone to accompany them to play. However, if she wanted to go out, she had to get her permission first.
Li Ge found that since he and others returned to the royal capital, Franzel's residence seemed to have become more lively than before.
This was not only because there were a hundred knights stationed in the villa, but also because many nobles began to visit one after another.
In the past two days, luxury carriages engraved with the coat of arms of the noble family kept driving into Franzel's house to meet with Yuli.
Li Ge also received many letters from the housekeeper, all of which were sent to him by the major nobles in the royal capital.
Some of them were greetings, as if they wanted to have a good relationship with him.
Some express their intention to meet and discuss things in a subtle way, but what they want to do is very obvious.
After all, Li Ge's reputation in the royal capital is no less than Yuri's. His dual identity as a senior swordsman and tactical magician makes many people think that sooner or later, he will become a great nobleman with status no less than that of himself and others, so no matter
Whether it was for the purpose of building a good relationship, or whether they wanted to win over him, the nobles in the royal capital would definitely take action.
Li Ge even discovered Aguirre's letter.
Aguirre was like meeting a close friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He expressed his joy in and out of his letters. Those who didn't know it really thought that he regarded Lige as a close friend. If he ignored his constant asking when he could meet again,
If he wants to ask Rige for help with something.
Later, Li Ge learned from Yuli that Aguirre seemed to have received a lot of attention in the family because of his own reasons.
Aguirre's father originally intended to make his eldest son his heir, but because Aguirre revealed that he had a certain degree of "family-friend" relationship with Li Ge, his father seemed to hesitate.
Under such circumstances, Aqil knew what he wanted Li Ge to do with his knees.
Li Ge simply ignored him and didn't even intend to send a reply.
What surprised Li Ge was that besides Aguirre, there was actually one person in the small group who used to hang out with the original owner who sent him a letter.
This person is the object of the original owner's admiration - Kaliga Liat.
This is the only eldest lady in the small group whose status and family background are not inferior to Aguirre. She had previously ignored Li Ge and the original owner intentionally or unintentionally, and her attitude towards him was not very enthusiastic, but now she has also sent him a message.
The letter said that if we are free, we can go out for a cup of tea together.
This made Li Ge frown and couldn't help but recall a previous conversation with Yuli.
…………
This was a conversation before arriving at the royal capital of Yerov.
At that time, Li Ge and his party had already disembarked from the ship, got on the carriage, and left Trantia towards the royal capital.
After three days of boating, both Midiste and Isu felt deeply exhausted and fell asleep in Marilyn's arms.
Rige was chatting with Yuli, and Yuli told Rige about the current situation of the kingdom.
"Actually, the current situation of the royal family cannot be said to be very good."
Yuli suddenly said this to Li Ge.
Perhaps because they were approaching the royal capital, or perhaps because they knew that Li Ge would be exposed to these things in the future, Yuri mentioned this matter to Li Ge.
"How to say?"
Li Ge asked rather confusedly.
Under such circumstances, Yuli explained to Li Ge.
"There are generally two factions in the kingdom now."
"One is the royal faction headed by members of the current royal family."
"One is the ducal faction headed by a certain duke."
According to Yuli, the current king of the Kingdom of Jinas and the duke are brothers. The two had a history of competing for the throne after the death of the previous king. As a result, the current king won and got the throne.
The Duke lost the opportunity to become a king, was granted the title of Duke, and was given a new surname - Cordelion.
With this, the struggle between the king and the duke began.
"Duke Cordelion has always been unwilling to admit his defeat. He believes that he is no worse than the current king. The reason why he lost is just because the current king was the eldest prince, the eldest son of the royal family, and his succession rights are slightly lower than the other party.
Will be taken advantage of by the opponent."
"The current king also knows that his younger brother is dissatisfied with him. In order to prevent his younger brother from having the opportunity to rebel and usurp the throne, he has been secretly suppressing the development of Duke Cordelion's family and suppressing Duke Cordelion."
"Although the two sides did not engage in any overt fighting, there was always a secret fight."
"Originally, this would not cause the kingdom to split into two factions, because Duke Cordelion has never had the opportunity to develop."
"Until the descendants of both sides begin to grow..."
Yuri told Rigg that Duke Cordelion had a pair of children.
The son's name is St. Nidore Cordelion, and he is 22 years old this year.
The daughter's name is Saint Charia Cordelion, and she is 17 years old this year.
Although Duke Cordelion only has one son and a daughter, and the number of heirs among the many nobles is very small, the achievements of these two sons and daughters are astonishing.
St. Nidore practiced swordsmanship diligently since childhood and showed extraordinary talent and hard work. He received the Order of the Swordsman at the age of 13 and became the youngest Swordsman in the kingdom. Duke Cordelion became an adult when he was 15 years old.
He handed over the knights of the Cordelion family into his hands, and as a result, this knights with only a thousand people was trained by him to become the best knights in the king's territory.
In this knightly order, there are not only many knights at the level of regular swordsmen, but also a swordmaster, who is said to have been recruited by Saint Nidor.
Saint Xalia has shown talent in magic since she was a child. She developed tactical-level magic on her own at the age of 14 and became a tactical-level magician. Like Yuri, she skipped a grade from Spruler Academy early.
's graduated.
This brother and sister are not only extremely talented, but also extremely hard-working. They are perfect in all aspects. Whether it is combat power, achievements, knowledge or character, they are famous in the Kingdom of Jinas and have a very great reputation.
.
"On the other hand, the members of this generation of the royal family are not as good as the Cordelion brothers and sisters."
The king, unlike Duke Cordelion, had many heirs.
However, among these many descendants, only four are relatively famous.
Among the four, one is a princess and is still young, so she is keeping it secret for the time being.
But the other three princes are people who are famous in not very good ways in various senses.
"The eldest prince Kuhart was frail and sick since he was a child. He was unable to practice sword skills and had no talent for magic. He was neglected in the palace. However, he gained considerable knowledge through self-study. Later, he discovered many mistakes in magic.
After it was published, it immediately attracted the attention of Spreler College, and eventually became a professor of modern magic at Spreler College."
"The third prince Sorok has the most outstanding swordsmanship. He received the Order of the Swordsman at the age of 15. However, he is cruel and jealous. He has suppressed many nobles for his own selfish interests. He can be regarded as a
The most notorious person among the royal children."
"Seventh Prince Boel is a rare magician among the royal children. He is also very talented. Although he does not have the talent to become a tactical magician, he has the fourth-level magical aptitude for transformation and manipulation. He was once considered
He had high hopes, but he was timid and cowardly. The king disliked his temper very much and treated him very coldly."
These three princes all have relatively unsightly parts.
"Many nobles in the kingdom believe that the royal children represented by these three princes are not capable of shouldering the responsibility of the next generation of the kingdom, so many nobles choose to side with Duke Cordelion."
As a relative of the king, the Duke himself has the blood of the royal family and also enjoys the right to inherit the throne.
The current duke of the Cordelion family was a member of the royal family before he became a duke. He is a biological brother of the current king. The royal bloodline is very strong, which makes the succession of his children, Saint Nidore and Saint Charlia, very high.
In this way, the nobles of the kingdom were completely divided into two factions, one headed by the current royal family, and the other headed by Duke Cordelion.
Of course, there are also many nobles in the middle who have not chosen anyone, or who have not yet decided on their side.
"For example, the Franzel family has not made a clear stance yet."
Having said this, Yuli looked at Li Ge and said something meaningful.
"It seems like one of your friends is the daughter of the Liat family, right?"
Of course Yuli was referring to Kaliga Liat.
"The Liat family is from the Duke's faction and is a vassal of Duke Cordelion's family."
"Caliga Liat used to be Saint Charia Cordelion's companion at Spliler College. Even though Saint Charia had graduated, she would still report to her from time to time about things in the college and help her.
St. Shalia does things.”
"So, your friend is not a simple person, is he?"
Yuli's half-smiling words made Li Ge frown deeply.
