In the Hauteville family, it was well known that Robert and William had a difficult relationship.
The reason is that they are half-brothers, and their relationship is neither close nor far, nor far.
Far away, at least farther than his biological brothers. So William will not be wary of his biological brothers' descendants, but he will be wary of Robert's possible "stealing for power."
In the near future, if William accidentally dies in the war, Robert, with his status as a demigod and his brother's bloodline, is the candidate with the highest probability of seizing his remaining position.
Therefore, William's attitude is also very clear. The foundation I have laid must be left to my descendants. You can go to Italy to expand your territory.
In the end, Robert only conquered the Calabria region, which could be regarded as barely establishing a foothold.
Of course, Calabria itself is mountainous and the environment is too barren, so on the one hand Robert needs to continue to expand to the northeast, preferably to the Apulia region, on the other hand he can only continue with Sicily.
Maintain relationships.
After learning that Robert had his own territory, William's attitude towards him softened slightly. After all, both of them were now lords, so William could no longer treat him like a beggar.
The superficial harmony did not resolve the private discord. William was jealous of Robert, and Robert was resentful of William. This was something that everyone did not say, but they knew it well.
The Hauteville family obviously has the configuration of two demigods, but there is a hidden danger of splitting because of this kind of thing. It must be said that it is also a very troublesome matter.
At this time, Roger's proposal to Hilda Lifa just revealed this undisclosed matter:
He wanted to use his status as William's heir and Hilda Lifa's status as Robert's daughter to reunite the two demigods of the Hauteville family, who seemed to be inseparable, by establishing this marriage relationship.
People who have a little idea of the key can't help but look at Roger with admiration. This guy... At this time, he is not thinking about how to seize military power to gain prestige and consolidate his position as heir. Instead, he focuses on
On the basis of longer-term demigod connections.
It is conceivable that if one day Roger inherits the Hauteville family, then William will be his direct demigod elder and Robert will be his father-in-law, which means that the family will have two demigods at his disposal in a real sense.
The Kingdom of Sicily will definitely be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability as a result... Such a strategic vision is so far-term!
Robert also wanted to understand this in an instant. While he was completely impressed by this nephew, his original thoughts were also shaken. If according to what Roger said, then as long as Hidley and Roger gave birth to an heir, it would be equivalent to saying that he
His bloodline successfully inherited the Hauteville family.
As a demigod, Robert himself, like William, will withdraw from worldly affairs at some point in the future and concentrate on resisting his tendency to lose control.
The reason why he had wanted to break up with William before was that, in addition to being resentful that the other party initially underestimated him, he also believed that as a member of the Hauteville family, he was excluded from the family by William, so
You just want to take what is rightfully yours.
Roger's request at this time reminded Robert that even if he seizes power, it can "evolve peacefully".
There is no need for him to risk his life and fight to the death with William in order to gain the status and recognition of the Hauteville family.
Instead, through marriage, one of Robert's descendants will naturally inherit the Hauteville family. Of course, this person is also a descendant of William, so the bloodlines of both sides will be merged in the future. Anyway, for demigods, time is not at all
not a problem.
good!
Awesome!
Wonderful!
With a sudden change of heart, Robert completely abandoned Medea's plan.
"About Sidrifa's marriage." The demigod replied, "I actually have no objection. After all, the blood of the Hauteville family flows in your bodies."
"However, we still have to wait until William comes back. After all, he is your true 'father'."
"Of course, uncle." Roger replied.
At the same time, in the hotel in Catania, the faces of the two girls had completely changed.
Played off.
"Why... why did the black swan suddenly come?" Medea gritted her silver teeth, "Proposal? Robert's scumbag father actually agreed? What the hell is this, a malicious joke of fate?"
"I did not observe this line before." Mi'er said with a solemn expression, "Obviously, this idea was not proposed by Roger after careful consideration, but more likely it was proposed on a whim, which just hit the mark of your plan.
Loophole."
The so-called loophole is, of course, that as a woman, Sidleyfa can be "traded" by Robert for marriage.
Medea was furious when she heard this. If the team lost Hidrifa, it would not only severely damage Asker's trust in her, but also have a serious negative impact on her own future strategy.
Therefore, it is no longer time to analyze the cause of the accident, but it is time to quickly decide how to remedy it.
"What's the next future?" Medea asked in a deep voice.
"Robert will inform her of the news when Sidrifa comes back." Mier replied quickly, her eyes lighting up with the unique symbol of fate, "The demigod William agreed on the spot, but Sidrifa was unyielding.
reject."
"So Robert used the law to restrain him, and then forced him to marry Roger within a few days. Of course, this was when we did nothing. In other words, Robert had completely abandoned his cooperation plan with us.
.”
"Okay." Medea decided immediately, "All plans are temporarily suspended. If we want to rescue Sidrifa, at what point should we take action?"
"When they arrive at the port of Palermo." Mier replied, "In addition, the risk of this matter is very high."
"How big is it?" Medea asked.
"On our side, we dispatched two demigods, Derek and Shirley, and they were able to restrain each other with the two demigods from the Otwell family, preventing them from interfering in the battlefield." Mi'er replied, "The really tricky thing is the Northern Horn.
Army, under the siege of hundreds of extraordinary beings, it will be difficult for the two of us to rescue Sidrifa intact... It can even be said that there is a risk of death."
"What about the rest of the Blue Sword team?" Medea asked anxiously.
"Excluding the group leader, even if the remaining five people join the battle together, the overall risk will not be reduced much," Mi'er said.
"That means you have to tell Ask, right?" Medea frowned and thought hard, then sighed for a long time and said slowly:
"Then, what about the group leader?"
"Uh..." Mi'er didn't answer immediately, but quickly looked at more future lines.
After about two or three minutes, the half-elf girl replied speechlessly:
"If the leader takes action, there is basically no risk."
Medea:………………
"Phew." She sat on the sofa next to her with relief, "Then the answer is obvious."
"Although we don't want to admit it, our plan has completely failed. Now we can only use the last ultimate insurance, Mi'er."
"Oh, yes." Mi'er also sighed, her tone a little sad.
