Except for the staff lady who softly uttered the short syllable "Ah" and the business lady who looked around.
Princess Griffin stared at her brother as if she were staring at an object. The look on her face was so cold that people dared not speak easily. Brando even secretly grasped the hilt of the sword under his coat with one hand.
Watching every move of the two brothers and sisters, he suspected that His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the King, was insane because of the heavy blow. But no matter what the situation, he could guarantee that as long as the other party dared to have any evil intentions, he would
Before that, send the black blade of the Earth Sword into the opponent's heart.
As for the identity of the eldest son of the king, does this kind of thing have any significance in Brando's eyes?
But the eldest son Wang didn't make any move. He stood calmly in the center of everyone's gaze, with his long hair hanging down naturally, his eyes closed, and there was no trace of tension in his expression - as if he had been playing a normal game before.
You can no longer say 'good afternoon' in a normal way, instead of saying 'please give me the throne'.
"Give me a reason, brother." Finally, like the ethereal sound of water drops falling into the bottom of a well, the princess said in a voice that broke the deathly silence.
However, her face seemed to be covered with ice.
"The reason is very simple, Griffin," the eldest son of the king said calmly, "because you need time to unify the southern border. South of Ampelssel, you can find many supporters, Mr. Brando, the Earl of Tonigel.
Sir, maybe you will be able to replace Count Jeandenelle soon. There are also the Grand Dukes of Lantonilan and Viero who are not so power-hungry, and the Highland Knights will also be on your side because of Mr. Brando.
, with a unified southern border, then the north will no longer be your resistance."
"What about you," Princess Griffin asked, "will you become the King of the North?"
"You need someone to help you break your promise without damaging the majesty of the royal family. Not only that, the nobles in the north are more likely to accept me than you, because the Sifah family has natural leadership over them. Except for that, the nobles in the north are more likely to accept me than you are.
In addition, Griffith, there is still a war waiting for us in the north, and I can serve as your natural barrier. A unified south and a war-torn north, who wins and who loses is already for you
It’s clear at a glance.”
Brando's heart moved slightly.
He couldn't help but raise his head, as if he wanted to look at the eldest son of Eruin again. Her Royal Highness the Princess was doing the same action as her, and she raised her head and asked seriously: "If this is a lie...
It’s too clumsy, brother.”
"There will eventually be a war between the north and the south, but it depends on when it happens. You and I both know very well, Griffin, that even if the north now has an incomplete Black Blade Army and a not-so-obedient White Lion Army,
It is actually impossible to defeat the South."
Levin replied calmly, and then he listened carefully, as if to confirm that Priest Wood had gone away. "Will the Temple of Fire allow Eruin to have a civil war under such circumstances?"
"Won't."
"They hope that you can make such a compromise with the North, preferably that Eruin can maintain the status quo, just like everything that happened after the Year of the Astrologer."
"but--"
"What if you have the absolute power to sweep across the north? Before they have time to protest—"
Dead silence is like the dust settling in the courtyard. All other sounds lie motionless on the ground.
"With all due respect," Brando finally couldn't help but speak. He asked as if he had been thinking about it for a long time: "Your Highness, although the Queen and Grand Duke Sifah regard you as a puppet, as far as I know you are actually there.
Are you involved in this 'game' behind the scenes?"
Levin suddenly turned around and faced the direction of the sound.
His sword-like eyebrows suddenly converged, and his whole person seemed to suddenly become taller: "You are better than I thought, Mr. Brando. I am glad that I don't have to be your enemy. Can you tell me
How did you come to this conclusion? Is it guesswork or intuition?"
None. It's just that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. The historical records of this prince in the past life are only a few words, and no one can even tell his whereabouts clearly. But players who are naturally curious are very good at it.
There are not a few articles analyzing the character and life experience of Levin Ornessen Sifach.
Some are made out of thin air. Some are guesses, and some are rumors. But as long as you connect this information with the real person in front of you, His Royal Highness, the eldest son, it is very simple to draw conclusions.
"Because of ambition, an ambitious person will not be willing to just become a pawn." Brando felt that he had never been so rational for a moment, as if he was blessed in his soul. Everything he had seen in the past about His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king,
Speculations have become the basis for his speech at this moment.
As if he was standing on the shoulders of giants, he raised his head and said calmly: "Since you can find Priest Wood to struggle for a life in such a desperate situation, how could you really let others manipulate you in the first place?"
"It's wonderful, but it's true." The eldest son Wang sighed: "I have prevented some things, within the scope of my ability. There are some actions of the Queen Mother that I am happy to see, but I don't necessarily agree with the methods."
"Besides, everyone has selfish interests at heart. I don't think this is a sin." He replied.
Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to speak, but she suddenly stopped. She glanced at Brando and motioned for him to continue. Brando understood this kind of trust, and he asked: "Then what are your personal interests?"
, which side are you on?"
"I said, we stand together. I want to be the king of the north, and you need me to be your barrier in the north." The eldest son Wang's expression was calm.
But Brando carefully observed the changes in his expression, and he had an intuition that the prince had not revealed all his true feelings. He subconsciously looked to the side, and happened to see the maid next to Levin Onessen frowning slightly.
He frowned.
She seemed to want to say something, but the eldest son Wang put out his hand to stop her.
"It's all just in vain. You know your outcome very well. Is it worth sacrificing your life just to be the King of the North for a year and a half?"
"Brother." Princess Griffin finally couldn't help but speak.
The eldest son of the king laughed and replied: "Griffin, have you ever experienced the feeling of not being able to control your own destiny? I swear, one day I will control my own path, even if it is just for a minute or a second -
Remember what I told you during the winter hunt?"
"...Eruin is a black forest. You said that if you were that wolf, your choice would be the same as it..." Princess Griffin thought of the clip stuck in the snow and the red dye.
Bloodstains covered the vision.
In the year of the astrologer, the scenery when the biting cold wind blew across the plateau still makes people feel a chill on their bodies.
"Even if I bite off my own leg, I still want to be free, because the wilderness is my destination," Levin replied with his white teeth exposed: "Besides, I may not necessarily fail. Although the north is full of difficulties, it will always be
There is still a glimmer of hope. Looking for a chance to survive in a desperate situation is what I am best at."
"Griffin, if you can't defeat me, I will defeat you mercilessly. Like you, I will never allow Amperesel to be divided for a long time, not even for a day." A cold voice echoed in the vestibule.
.
Even the business lady was startled. She turned around and looked at this madman with wide eyes.
The eldest son Wang did seem to be crazy, but at least he was an elegant lunatic. He bowed to his sister, and no one could find anything wrong with him.
Her Royal Highness the Princess thought coldly for a while before calling him out: "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
"yes."
"...but I will not agree to your request."
"Then what?" Wang eldest son was not surprised and asked with a smile.
Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at him quietly.
…
Two carriages filed out of the manor, and many people were waiting in the courtyard to board the carriages.
"He didn't tell the truth." When Antitina got in the car, she reminded her lord in a low voice: "At least he didn't tell the complete truth."
"I know, what part are you talking about?" Brando helped his staff member onto the carriage as always. This move made him look different from ordinary people. However, Brando turned a blind eye to the strange looks cast by the servants.
, but raised his head and asked.
"I don't know, but I think he's hiding something, hunch."
"intuition?"
"Intuition is also a kind of experience, Lord." Antitina replied seriously.
Brando thought about it and felt that it made sense. He turned around and looked at another carriage. The emblem on the carriage was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the color. He also had the same doubt in his heart. His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king, was definitely the one who traveled through time.
The calmest person I have ever seen. It is unlikely that such a person will tell the truth completely.
But the key lies in what exactly he is hiding.
He turned back again and pinched the tip of Roman's nose, which was sticking out his head, causing the latter to fall back with an "ouch". Then he got on the carriage and said hello to the little prince and the cold-faced princess.
Then he sat down next to Roman.
Princess Griffin frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.
Probably only Brando here understood what she was thinking. But he didn't say much. He just lifted the curtain and looked out the window. The scenery of Ampelser outside the window was gradually falling into dusk.
From today on, Levon Ornesson Sifach, her brother, is no longer the crown prince of the Corcova family. Under the joint appointment of the princess and the temple - he will have a legal
, a brand new title, the new head of the Sifah family.
The new Grand Duke will be appointed to prepare the north for the war with the Lion's Mane, but in fact he is promised to become the King of the North, and everyone will know it.
Although this has not been finalized yet, Brando can already guess what Her Royal Highness's answer will be.
This looks like a royalist compromise.
But only a few people understand the truth.
Some people may think that Her Royal Highness the Princess should be tougher, but others may think that this is a more mature political approach. But what really puzzles Griffin is that his brother seems confident.
No one knows if this was a wrong choice.
But in Brando's view, the result is actually pretty good. What Eruin needs is not the reputation of justice, but just time. As long as he is given a little more time, he will be able to save the kingdom.
And now what the eldest son of the king has given them is exactly what he has dreamed of. As long as the nobles in the north are no longer eager to make trouble, the princess will be free to clean up the mess in the south.
More importantly, after three years of peace, the enemies that Eruin can face will no longer be limited to these chickens and dogs.
The eldest son of Wang has his own plans, so why not Brando himself?
Valhalla was the cornerstone of all this, and he was extremely convinced of this.
He took one last look at the golden sunset outside the window. In that direction was a glimmer of the seashore, as if he could see the spectacular scenery of the Ring of Trade Winds through the golden clouds. Then he lowered the curtain and stopped thinking about these things.
As for what the eldest son Wang really wants, let’s leave this history to the future to judge.
At least for Brando.
