Viscount Gullah raised his thick eyebrows. He had no intention of trusting Antonio in the first place. He just planned to ask the new lord not to interfere in his own affairs during this negotiation. After meeting Xavier, he vaguely felt this
The idea will fail.
So Goller decided to try his best to let the Lovrey family get the maximum benefit from this negotiation, and... Goller thought for a long time, maybe following Lord Xavier is a good choice? But after all, this is related to the family, Goller
Le couldn't make up his mind for a while. You know, it was said that this lord came to Noli in a similar "exile". His family was also oppressed by the Holy Religion, and now there are almost only a few followers left.
However, no matter what, Gullah never imagined that Antonio, who had always despised the new lord, would be the first to surrender! According to his arrogance, he would actually say such a thing!
"The Du Guaclin family is in charge of the port of Norway and is the largest family in the merchant shipping trade. Lord, I believe that due to Du Guaclin's influence in Norway..."
"When the rebels attacked the port, almost all the Dugueclin defenders were killed, right?" Viscount Herb interrupted Antonio. He was a little annoyed now, and he also understood that he had been tricked. Probably Antonio started from the beginning.
From the beginning, it was planned to make the Dugueclin family, which had the greatest impact and suffered the heaviest casualties in the war, attach itself to the Rose Lord.
From the beginning, a few people discussed oppressing the new lord, and he was also preventing the other three from taking the lead. After all, when this lord first arrived in Noli, the first family willing to follow him would definitely gain the greatest benefits. Originally, Noli
The first Dugueclan has fallen into the disaster caused by the war, and relying on the Rose family, which is also in crisis but still has good strength, is their best choice.
After all, this Lord Xavier has the identity of the head of the Rose Family. Even if he is expelled, the heritage of the Millennium Duke Family contained in him is enough for him to gain a foothold in Noli.
As for the coming of the extreme cold storm, the new lord was destined to be unprepared. Antonio smiled, and he should be in power at this time. As long as he became a vassal of the new lord, the financial crisis Du Guiclin was in could be solved.
Great relief.
Those fifth-rate families who are eager to move against Du Guaclan should seize Du Guaclan's sea control under the instructions of Guler, Herb and others. However, if they have the support of Lord Rose, they will never dare to move Du Guaclan.
Every bit of Gueklan's territory.
"Not only that, Dugueclin, where most of the family business is in the port, also suffered a devastating blow. The last funds we raised a few days ago were used for maritime trade and there is still no news." Antonio smiled bitterly, he was helpless.
He held his forehead.
Was it the sea storm in the Silver Strait? Xavier nodded slightly. Indeed, if it hadn't been for him, Erro's ship would probably have sunk in that sea storm.
?Gele opened his mouth. He really didn't expect that Antonio would tell his family's financial situation so honestly. He was also surprised, although he knew that Du Guaclin had fallen from the throne of the first family.
, but I didn’t expect to fall into such a crisis.
But with Du Guiclan like this, is he planning to ask Lord Rose to make him his vassal? No, Guerle and Herb looked at each other. Years of family games have made them extremely jealous of the other three.
Antonio is definitely not this kind of person, so... is he planning to use the Rose family's economy to help Du Guéclin and intervene in the Norwegian-Lebanese shipping trade?
Then it will be difficult for Du Guaclin to have Antonio as the leader, and he will completely become a subsidiary family of the Rose family. Everything will be reported to the Rose family, headed by the head of the Rose family. Du Guaclin is still surnamed Du Guaclin, but it is no longer
Du Guerlain.
As expected of Antonio, an old fox, he had already settled all this, so he did this. He planned to become a vassal of the Rose Family from the beginning, which means that the elders of Du Guaclan also agreed to this.
The heads of the family, and the entire Dugueclin, all agreed to this decision that could change the family.
"Dugueclin is willing to obey Lord Xavier and the Rose Family. I, Antonio Dugueclin, hereby swear to the God of Contract that Dugueclin is willing to become a subsidiary family of the Rose Family!"
Antonio took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee, and handed his trembling hands to Xavier. He completely ignored the surprised looks of the three viscounts behind him. This was a ceremony to become a vassal of a certain noble, and usually both parties
It will only appear under confirmed circumstances, but this time, it was Antonio Dugueclin's own action.
Will he be rejected? But this is his last chance. Du Guaclan cannot be destroyed. Even if it becomes a vassal of other families, when Du Guaclan rises again, no one can order this name!
For some reason, a girl and a woman suddenly appeared in Antonio's eyes, and he clenched his fists vigorously. For the sake of the entire Dugueclin, he had to accept it no matter how humiliating it was.
Next to Xavier, Arthur and Naples both widened their eyes. They had always thought that the head of the Du Guaclin family was really here to cause trouble... But he was indeed here to cause trouble. However, he really
Are you willing to become Rose's vassal? Naples narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
To be honest, what I know about Antonio is probably a velvet snow-white fox, while Gullah and Herb are about ferrets and toothed tigers, and the tall and powerful Viscount Flo is a northern bear. Naples shook his head, he
Viscount Herb prefers to do things openly and honestly. Tiger's arrogance makes him disdain to play tricks at all.
What would the young master think? Naples looked at Xavier, who frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking too.
However, Xavier's contemplation did not last long. He quietly looked into the eyes of the Du Guaclin family, his long eyebrows and drooped eyelids unable to block the ice blue eyes.
Antonio felt like he was frozen, as if someone was calling him, and there was that terrifying suffocating sound. Was it the devil? Or... Chris...
"good."
It was like ten thousand years had passed. When Antonio woke up again, he could feel the cold sweat dripping from behind him, and the suffocating cold feeling had disappeared. But for some reason, his eyes were slightly moist, and several viscounts were
Frowning, Antonio's expression of extreme pain and fear at that moment made them wonder what he saw.
"I accept Du Guaclin as the head of the Rose Family." Xavier put his palm on Antonio's hand, and he smiled slightly.
"Then, thank you, Your Highness. It's time for us to take our leave." Antonio lowered his head and kissed the family crest ring that belonged to the glory of the rose on Xavier's hand. He stood up and bowed deeply.
"Your Highness must be lacking a good secretary, right? The Noble Mechanical College of Nobles will invite His Highness there, and my little girl will become a good guide for His Highness."
