Marquis Youxi stood in the dark and watched in confusion as Brando and Freya left the inner court. "Who is that woman?" "It seems to be a knight of the Royal Princess, sir." "So Yanbao intends to have an affair with the king.
Is the party getting close, or is this a secret move by them?" The Marquis frowned, he believed that Brando was the Earl of Yanbao, and this sudden chess piece made him feel a little threatened.
"It's just Yanbao, why does the Marquis care about it?" At this time, a rough voice came from behind. Marquis Youxi turned around and saw a bearded military attache standing behind him. He recognized this person, it was Wei.
Count Vitokin appeared at the meeting. He is the commander of the Black Blade Legion. He is a soldier and one of the die-hard loyalists of Duke Sifah.
"Marquis Youxi." Next to Count Vitokin stood a young man with red lips and white teeth. He bowed slightly to the king's younger brother. Only then did Marquis Youxi notice this young man. The young man had the aggressive look of a young soldier.
His sharp eyes were astonishingly bright, like a young eagle about to spread its wings.
Marquis You Xi moved his eyebrows, as if he recognized the other party.
However, he did not intend to answer the question of the leader of the Black Blade Army. Naturally, Yan Bao was not worried, but it was different with Archpriest Wood standing behind him. However, Marquis Youxi sneered in his heart and did not intend to reveal this information to this person.
A vulgar country bumpkin. On the contrary, he looked surprised and greeted: "Cecil? I thought you weren't coming. I will never forget the hunting ground of Gray Mountain in my lifetime. The scenery is beautiful and the climate is pleasant. It is better than your Majesty's royal hunting ground."
But it’s much more exciting. What, do you still welcome me to be your guest when you have time?”
Count Vitokin frowned. Cecil was his real name, but nobles often only called their enemies and close friends by their first names. Marquis Youxi was obviously not his close friend, but he couldn't even mention his enemies, and he knew that.
This Lord Marquis has a great reputation, but when the other party mentioned the hunting ground in Gray Mountain, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and change his expression.
It involved an incident that almost brought shame to his family. The last time Auberge VII visited the Vito Gold Territory, the romantic Marquis actually raped his sister. Of course, this was not considered a crime.
It was a big deal, but the bad thing was that the other party's fiancé was also in the castle at the time. Naturally, he did not dare to embarrass His Majesty the King, so he had to let his sister take the responsibility for the matter. The poor woman is still in the monastery.
As a nun, Count Vitokine couldn't help but feel a little angry when he thought about it.
Fortunately, he also knew that it would be useless to get angry at Marquis Youxi - this was a guy who was used to being indulged - Count Vitokin knew that his king's brother had always been retributive and petty-minded, and no one wanted to offend such a person.
Not to mention that the other party now has the support of a big shot. "The Marquis is joking," Count Vitokin forced a smile: "How dare you compare it to His Majesty's hunting ground... But the young man just now should be the Marquis a few days ago.
The one I met."
Marquis Youxi pretended to change his expression, and at the same time secretly cursed the old guy for being so well-informed. "Which one?" He pretended to be puzzled.
"Your Majesty the Marquis, there is no need to hide it. This young man is a rare genius. It is not a shame to be defeated by him." Count Vitokin smiled and touched his chin with his hand. He didn't mind the irritation of his beard. "
However, it is not a good thing to be arrogant in youth. The elves have a proverb - 'The strongest beasts often become the prey of hunters'."
Regarding Count Vitokin's comfort with a gun and a stick, Marquis Youxi was so angry that his face turned green, and he secretly cursed this guy for having bad intentions. But when he turned his eyes, he suddenly saw the young man next to Count Vitokin.
He hurriedly pretended to be angry and said: "It's really unlucky. I originally thought that the other party was just a country bumpkin from somewhere. I don't know what luck happened to win the favor of the officiant. I think ten or twenty years later, this guy will be Eruin's top existence.
"
As soon as he said these words, Count Vitokin and the young man changed their expressions. How could they not know the meaning of this sentence? The current commander of the Black Blade Legion, Count Vitokin himself, had been blessed by the previous chief priest.
, which is why he has his current status. In fact, his own ability is far inferior to Brando, and he knows this. In this way, it is conceivable that Brando's achievements in the future will be far better than him.
He frowned, thinking that You Xi might have something on his mind. He couldn't help but glance at the other person quietly, but found that the Marquis's face was ashen, and he didn't look like he was deliberately provoking. Vitokin was stunned for a moment.
, and then he was relieved. He looked down on the king's younger brother from the bottom of his heart, and naturally he would not doubt that the other party could have such a scheme.
At this time, the young man next to Vitokin smiled: "It is true. In terms of personal strength, I am afraid that Eruin cannot find a more talented person than him at this age. However, aristocratic politics has never been based on personal strength.
I am afraid that the nobles in the north will not give up the benefits they have gained because of a genius. A powerful person such as a sword master can only show off the courage of an ordinary man on the battlefield."
"Really?" Marquis Youxi showed a disgusted expression: "I'm afraid it's not true that I can't find anyone more talented than him in Eruin. I heard that a hero came out of Tonigel, who was only twenty years old.
He entered the golden realm at the age of 18 and also showed extraordinary talent in the military. What do you think?"
The young man's face turned red, and he actually compared him with a bandit. This was definitely the biggest insult among nobles. If Count Vitokin hadn't reminded him in advance that the other party had always been unscrupulous, and the difference in status between the two
Too far, otherwise the Grand Duke of Sifah would have had a duel within himself today before he could take action against the royal party.
But even so, the young man was still so angry that he couldn't say a word. He couldn't take action against the king's younger brother, but in his heart he secretly hated Brando who had caused this topic. As for Tony Geer in Marquis Youxi's mouth
That 'hero', the young man had not yet stooped to the point of quarreling with a bandit. In his opinion, the difference in identity between the two of them was insignificant and they were not from the same world at all.
At this time, Vitokin finally discovered something was wrong, and couldn't help but secretly cursed You Xi, a guy who failed more than succeeded. However, he did not doubt that he was there, and quickly changed the subject: "Okay, Tony Geer is letting you
What that bastard Denel has to worry about has nothing to do with us, right?"
"Of course." Marquis Youxi shrugged, "I just mentioned it in passing."
Count Vitokin finally couldn't stand it any longer and gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Okay, Lord Marquis, you clearly know that I am here to speak for that big shot. Let's get back to the topic - you have prepared it.
The scapegoat made the big shot very dissatisfied. Anyone with a discerning eye can spot the flaw at a glance. Overwell and Macaro are both shrewd guys. Aren't you afraid that they will see through it and alert you?"
"What's the point of being alert?" Marquis Youxi smiled: "I don't support this in the first place. I don't think my lovely niece can afford to make any trouble, so why don't you just ask her to abdicate in favor of someone better?
Already?"
"She hasn't ascended the throne yet, why should she step down? Besides, it's Haruze's business to step down." Count Vitokin secretly scolded this guy for not being able to spit out ivory from his dog's mouth, but he still reminded him in a low voice: "Do you want the people to stay?"
Do you have the impression that our Eruin nobles gave in under the coercion of the Cruz people?"
"So what, isn't that the truth?" Marquis You Xi smiled slightly: "Do you think I still care about that reputation? In fact, I just want to drag you along. Since you want the throne, then naturally you have to
How about giving something?"
Count Vitokin was so angry that he didn't get angry to death: "You are simply crazy."
"What did you say?" Marquis You Xi looked cold.
Only then did Vitokin remember that he was in front of a guy who was determined to retaliate. He quickly shook his head and replied: "It's nothing, it's just... this is crazy. If the people can leave the Temple of Flame and the Cruz people to influence the Eruin nobles,
The influence of opinions may be detrimental to the rule of the Sifah family, and by then, Eruin will exist in name only. Even for the sake of your nephew's future, you should be more serious, right?"
"What does that have to do with me?" Marquis Youxi sneered: "You want to reap the benefits, but don't want to pay the price, so let me and Anlek take the blame? Bitches are not that easy to blame. Be honest.
He said, although this morning's plan was a bit unexpected, I believe that old guy Anlek was not surprised at all. With just eight gold levels, do you think you can really keep Lea Woods and Her Royal Highness the Princess? You underestimated our royal family.
There are only two ways before you now. One is to use the help of the Cruz people to force my niece to abdicate in favor of someone else, or the other is to return to the north and prepare for war."
"Presumably that old fellow Anlek is waiting for you to choose the second path." Marquis Youxi replied with a smile, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Count Vitokin's face turned red and white, and he couldn't help but compare him to a bitch. His vest was covered in cold sweat. After a while, he raised his head and took a deep look at Marquis Youxi: "
So that’s what you think, is this what you want to say to that big shot? I understand.”
Marquis Youxi shrugged: "Do you think I am as afraid of the Cruz people as you are, like a mouse seeing a cat?"
"That's true. The Marquis is naturally fearless." Count Vitokin said a word bitterly, and then left the inner court in embarrassment. As soon as he turned around, the smiling look on Marquis Youxi's face changed.
After cooling down, he rubbed his slender fingers, the murderous intent in his eyes unreserved.
"My Lord Marquis, do you know that young man?" At this time, the attendant beside him asked in a low voice.
"That should be the designated successor of Vitokin. I happen to know him. He fought several beautiful battles with the Toquinin Lion. He is perfect and he is also a genius. If nothing happens, he will be under the command of the Black Blade Legion in the future.
I'm afraid he will be the commander of the army. He is such a lucky man." The Marquis smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens."
…
The black tea in the white porcelain tea cup has completely cooled down and solidified into the color of agate. There are only a few people in the magnificently decorated study room. Soft light spills into the carpet from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are distant mountains outside; the light will
The people in the room were divided into two sides, one side was Brando and Freya, and the other side was Her Royal Highness the Princess, who looked quiet. Next to her stood Nimesis, Li Woods, Macaro and Overwell, and a cloth
Lando couldn't name a middle-aged nobleman who was slightly bald.
Eruin's future little king, the young man named Haruze, was standing next to this middle-aged noble.
For the first time after Brando came to this world, he had time to look at the princess carefully. After the mysterious aura in his impression faded, the beauty of this half-elf girl became clearer. Fortunately, he saw
There have been many beauties in his life, and he has gained a little bit of resistance. When he compared his memories, he suddenly found that in his impression of the princess in the previous life, besides being strong, unyielding, and having that shining faith, he did not
It didn't leave much of an impression, but seemed like a beautiful symbol.
But the one in front of me is obviously much more real and kind.
If Brando were to give an evaluation, then she is just a beautiful half-elf girl. Her silver curly hair shines in the afternoon sun, and her slender shoulders seem to be wrapped in a soft halo. It’s just between the other person’s eyebrows.
Hidden with a hint of unnoticeable distress, this girl who should have been in her prime is obviously burdened with too many things.
At least Brando, as half of the modern soul, cannot understand how a girl of her age can understand the dirtiest and darkest side of political struggle and voluntarily join in it. Brando has read some analyzed topics on the forum
, including the memoirs about Her Royal Highness the Princess. She regarded herself as a commodity and accepted the lofty honor of Princess Eruin - it was an honor in the eyes of others, but it was a responsibility in her eyes.
He had never had close contact with this princess in his previous life. His senior sister once said that she was a stupid child - Brando couldn't help but look at this shrewd girl with some curiosity. Is she really stupid?
In reality, Brando has always stayed away from such people.
But here, he felt an inexplicable attraction, as if attracting him like a moth to the flame. Fortunately, after experiencing so many things, Brando's temperament was no longer the same as before, and he watched this scene silently.
Her Royal Highness the Princess withdrew her sight for a moment. In fact, Brando did not think that the royal party, including the current Princess, made the right choice.
But it is true that there is no one more suitable for this position than her in Eruin now. Brando is a lazy person. When he thinks about it, as long as he helps Eruin get through this difficulty and not repeat the mistakes of history,
Presumably there should be no problem for this country to continue for another hundred or two hundred years.
As for going further, he has never considered it. There has never been an eternal dynasty in the world. He just wants to make up for his regrets. In fact, his greater interest is to explore the world outside the wilderness.
"First of all, thank you for your help at the meeting, Mr. Brando." The silence in the study was first broken by the princess, who thanked her personally - her voice was soft and pleasant, "but I really can't say thank you, Wang."
The Party and you have never met, but you have given us a lot of help. Every time I have not had the chance to thank you, it is extremely rude to say it - "
"Your Highness the Princess." Brando said habitually.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he noticed that Griffin's eyes lit up across from him, and most of the others' expressions also changed. Brando was slightly startled, and then he remembered that he had made a mistake - the eldest princess was the king's sister.
This title was only given to Griffith after Haruze's coronation and after he obtained the position of Princess Regent. He said it by mistake, which was really considered treason.
Fortunately, the royal party did not think there was anything wrong. In their view, Brando recognized Haruze's status by saying this, which was an act of taking sides. In politics, it is most taboo to not know who is taking sides, so Brando said it from the beginning.
After showing his attitude, he won the favor of everyone including Leigh Woods and Macaro. Even the old court mage who had always been prejudiced against Brando couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
This young man is smart and steady, and he can actually come up with such a way to stand in line. He is worthy of being a descendant of a big family. This is what everyone thinks.
Brando naturally didn't know that his slip of the tongue caused so many misunderstandings. He smiled bitterly and could only continue: "What happened in Tonigel was actually because I took advantage of Her Royal Highness. Her Royal Highness does not need to apologize."
.”
"Really?" Griffith was in a good mood, and she smiled slightly and said: "But having said that, we haven't really met Mr. Brando yet. And there are rumors outside that you are a Highland Knight. Can I ask if this is true?
?”
Brando nodded.

(ps In yesterday’s chapter, I made a few mistakes out of my wits. The first skill I added was to add the Crown of Thorns and Blood of the Sun, which were originally only added to level 5, to level 10. I had a brainwave and included the conflict aura. Conflict
The halo was increased to level 10 in Chapter 274. In addition, the unlocking level of mid-level skills was level 30 instead of level 25. This has now been changed.
The second mistake was that with a shake of his hand, Qiao Sen almost died at the hands of the Corpse Witch. Qiao Sen ended up dead at the hands of the Corpse Witch. Damn it, I could never have dreamed that Qiao Sen came to me with blood on his face and told me that I
It was such a miserable death... I immediately knelt down before Mr. Qiao Sen.
In addition, there is a premise about killing people and gaining experience. That is, these people are pretending to be cultists. In fact, you can know from the previous chapters that cultists who believe in chaos, such as the Black Fire Cultists, are regarded as monsters, and so on.
experienced.
All in all, then, just treat them as if they are not human beings. If you stay in the order camp and go to the Dragon of Dusk, you are doing your own evil. Is that right? It must be a strange thing.
Regarding the compensation for yesterday’s mistake...this...can you roll around and be cute?)
