Duke Golan-Elsen suddenly raised his head and tried to find the person who had spoken before, but the other person had already disappeared into the crowd, which aroused his interest. Over the past few days, he was completely tired of these guys' endless discussions and discussions.
complain.
At first, he had hopes for these royal gangs, hoping that they could overthrow the newly rising Earl to the ground just like they overthrew the rule of Anlek. But he soon became disappointed. From the beginning of the Second Black Rose War
By the end of the day, these people were arguing endlessly, but they couldn't come up with an idea. In the end, the other party's mistress took a decisive action, and Denel killed everyone.
Worse than a woman.
Duke Golan-Elsen scorned these so-called old royal parties, but he immediately felt worried. The strong rise of Tonigel not only hurt the traditional royal party forces, but in fact, as the kingdom in charge of the place
The chief executive can even be said to have a role like the lord of a party, and the dukes of the kingdom feel a more direct threat.
And he is even more so.
Eco, the son of Duke Lantonilan, was a staunch supporter of the eldest princess during the Battle of Ampelser, and Grand Duke Viero was the closest relative of the princess. Karasu's status was transcendent, not to mention the relationship with the Cadilloso family.
There are still countless connections. Among the various princes in the south, Anleke and Jean Denel are now dead. It seems that he is the only 'enemy' left to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
.
Moreover, Duke Golan-Elsen disagreed with some of the eldest princess's actions, and the threat from the other party always loomed over his back.
He saw that it was impossible for these royal parties to succeed. They might represent the interests of some people behind them, but these people seemed to be equally hesitant. On the one hand, they were worried about the reaction of the Highland knights, and on the other hand, they were afraid of the counterattack of the northern nobles. Golan -
Duke Elson knew very well how good these people were. If the knife had not been placed on his neck, he would actually be willing to be one of these people.
"These people will never understand the meaning of death." The Duke thought with some disappointment.
He had not planned to attend this routine gathering of the old royal party forces. He knew that the royal party had now been divided into two, and core members such as Overwell and Nymesis had abandoned their former companions. Since Leawoods
After his death, Macaro could not escape from the world. And these remaining people are all incompetent guys.
But before today, someone invited him here for a special reason. Thinking of the mysterious guys who had been in contact with him in the past few days, Duke Golan-Elsen had a vague guess about the identity of the other party.
But he didn't dare to confirm. He didn't understand why 'those people' were interested in little Eruin?
That's why he sat here with patience, but after a long period of boredom and waiting, he finally seemed to find the shadows of those people in his previous speeches.
He knew in his heart that these short-sighted guys in front of him did not have the ability to grasp the key points.
Angry emotions fermented in the crowd, and Duke Golan-Elsen finally cheered up. He straightened up and concentrated on observing the reactions of everyone present.
"She must not be allowed to play tricks here!" someone shouted. The Duke glanced in that direction and recognized that he was just a lowly baron with no territory, but behind him were some traditional nobles from the Viero region.
power.
"We must take action!" Some representatives of the old aristocratic forces in Anlek showed the same depression and uneasiness. Since the area was re-assigned to the jurisdiction of the royal family, the lives of the aristocratic forces in these marginal areas have become worse day by day.
Although they were originally under the oppression of Duke Anlek, their lives were not much better.
The people present were all useless fools. Duke Golan-Elsen shook his head slightly in confusion. Could it be that the other party asked him to come here just to see this?
The nobles were talking a lot and were angry, but they couldn't come up with an idea. The power of Tonigel was obvious, and the people loyal to Her Royal Highness the Princess were also a powerful force, including the White Lion Army and the royal family's fleet.
On the contrary, although they represent the most traditional aristocratic power in the South, they cannot put together any decent power.
At least the earliest core and senior officials of the royal party still had strength in their hands, and at least Lantonilan's army and knights were still loyal to them. But when the royal party split, the original senior leaders either left or took refuge with the eldest princess, and the remaining
In fact, these people were originally just surrender factions in the royal party. Overwell and Macaro may not think highly of these people, and naturally they cannot hold any power in their hands.
Just when Duke Golan-Elsen began to feel bored, a note was suddenly passed to him by his servant. The Duke was slightly startled, and he put the note under the table and opened it.
Then after taking a quick glance, his expression immediately became serious.
He took one last look at these useless guys. He shook his head, turned around and gestured to his servants, and the two quietly left the table.
Some people present noticed the Duke's actions, but not many people paid attention to it. It was unexpected that the Duke would appear at this venue these days, and his early departure was also expected.
However, Duke Golan-Elsen did not leave the venue through the back door as usual and take a carriage back to his mansion. Instead, he was led by his servants to a relatively remote room in the venue.
When he opened the door, the guests inside had been waiting for him for a long time.
Duke Golan-Elsen suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the three people who stood up to salute him.
…
Werner Ognaden Silva's face looked a little gloomy.
The master of Viero, the supreme administrator of Wallentenburg, the grandfather of the current Princess Eruin, and the Duke of Viero had many things to worry about, but the one that made him feel most exhausted was his most recent
The confrontation between the daughter whom I value and myself.
He didn't expect that Oni would actually fall in love with a noncommissioned officer from a humble background during a mission, even if the other person was a confidant of Count Yanilasu. Besides, in the kingdom, he might not think highly of the 'royal captain', and the other party personally
He may not even be willing to marry his daughter, let alone a subordinate.
His daughter has always been smart, strong, and mature. He originally wanted to use this daughter to maintain the relationship between the Viero family and the newly appointed Count Gendenelle, the emerging powerful official in the kingdom. Duke Viero is a
A smart man, he is very optimistic about Brando's future. This new political star in the kingdom who was born in a Highland knight is by no means without foundation. On the contrary, the other party comes from a prominent family. He is not only the eldest son of the Cadilloso family, but also has obtained the Highlands.
The recognition of the knight. If he can marry such an outstanding young man, it is what the Duke of Viero would like to see.
But the development of things was a bit beyond his expectation. He deeply regretted that he had not made it clear to his daughter beforehand. He thought Ouni could understand this, because some things would appear too utilitarian if they were explained too clearly. He understood that
Count Tonigel is a smart man and will definitely see through his intentions.
However, this time Ouni's reaction was unexpectedly tough. She was unwilling to give up this relationship and went on a hunger strike to protest. She told him that she admired the young earl, but this feeling was no more than reverence.
, it is absolutely impossible to go further.
More than one dispute between father and daughter created a deep rift between the two, which made him couldn't help but complain about Brando. Before this, Ouni was not like this. She always obeyed him in everything.
This was her father's arrangement. However, after she went on the mission, she changed into a different person, becoming much more independent-minded and stubborn.
From the bottom of his heart, Duke Viero believed that this was not his fault. He believed that Brando must have led his daughter away.
After routinely asking Ernie's maid, Duke Viero was heartbroken and a little tired after learning that his daughter had been on a hunger strike for three days. He sighed deeply, feeling that the world had begun to leave him.
control.
He was originally the supreme ruler of Viero, and no one dared to disobey him. His grandson and granddaughter were the masters of the kingdom. But now, he felt more and more pressure from his granddaughter.
The failure of the marriage forced the Duke to face an even heavier fact: the distance between the royal family and the old aristocratic forces was growing. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was still very deferential to his grandfather in her letter, he could clearly feel that
Yes, the two are on a completely different path.
People like him will eventually become a stumbling block for the royal family one day. Although Duke Viero does not understand what centralization is, as a smart man, he has vaguely felt that the sharp sword hanging above his head is about to fall.
Thinking of this, Duke Viero seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He waved his hand feebly: "Forget it, let her go. She is my daughter after all."
"Your Majesty the Duke?" The maid's eyes widened and she looked at the ruler of this land in disbelief.
"What?" Duke Viero roared: "Are you planning not to listen to me? Are you waiting to stay and watch my jokes? Get out now!"
The maids were immediately frightened and retreated tremblingly.
Duke Viero was breathing heavily, like a wounded beast. He was holding on to his desk, looking around with red eyes, and his expression changed continuously for a while.
