The king has received a letter from Duke Willy and learned that Werther built a defense tower and borrowed troops from Duke Willy to resist the attack of the vampires.
He was sitting on the throne at the moment, holding an envelope in his hand, his fingers were shaking violently, and his eyes could not help but open wide. His eyes turned around on the letter and read it many times. The servants on the side were frightened by his ugly face.
I dare not speak.
After a long time, he held the letter, leaned on the back of the throne, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and said with emotion: "Witt helped the Notland Kingdom defend the vampires. He actually did so many things in just one month. Maybe.
, he has no intention of rebelling at all, am I too worried?"
The king looked at the servant, who shook his head in panic: "Your Majesty, don't ask me, I don't know either, but judging from the current situation, it is more likely that the eldest prince has no rebellious intentions."
The king nodded, slapped the letter on the table, and almost gritted his teeth and said: "Call Duke Dark here, I want to discuss something with him."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant hurriedly ran to inform the guard at the door.
Soon, Duke Duke came.
"Meet your Majesty." He saluted respectfully, his eyes observing the king's every move all the time.
The king looked at Duke Dark angrily: "You made a wrong judgment before. What Werther said in the letter a month ago was true. Just a few days ago, the vampires really attacked Dawn Town. If you hadn't stopped them
, I have lent troops to Werther a long time ago. Because I did not lend him troops, he went to the distant city of Willy to borrow troops, and we owe Duke Willy another favor."
Duke Dark showed a surprised look on his face: "Your Majesty, how could the vampires suddenly attack Dawn Town?"
"If you don't believe it, see for yourself." The king threw Duke Willy's letter in front of Duke Duke.
After Duke Duke read the letter, he smiled calmly and put the letter respectfully back on the table.
"Your Majesty, are you angry with me?" Duke Duke asked the king cautiously.
"I'm not angry with you. You didn't let me lend troops to Witte before because you were thinking about my safety. It shows that you are a loyal person. What's more, who would have thought that the blood prince would suddenly attack Dawn Town."
"The eldest prince still borrowed troops and successfully defended the vampire clan, didn't he? You should be happy now."
"That makes sense. I should indeed be happy and proud of what Witt did this time."
"So, Your Majesty, what were you angry about just now?"
"I don't know. I'm very upset right now. If the incident with Duke Majik hadn't happened, I would definitely love Werther as his son very much. However, after the incident with Duke Majik happened, I worry every day that Werther will rebel and will
I killed myself to sit on the throne of this king. My feelings towards Werther are very complicated now."
"So that's it." Duke Duke smiled and said, "Do you want to hear my opinion on the eldest prince?"
The king nodded: "Tell me and listen."
"I think that although the eldest prince drove away the vampires this time, it does not mean that he will not rebel. There is no conflict between the fact that he drove away the vampires and the fact that he killed you and then sat on the throne. He drove away the vampires.
Is it also to protect his own Dawn Town? In his current situation, he is still very likely to rebel, so you still have to continue to be wary of him."
After hearing what Duke Duke said, the king thought for a long time, then looked at the ceiling and said slowly: "What you said makes sense. I really can't let down my guard against him just because he has made great achievements."
"That's right, Your Majesty." Duke Dark smiled secretly.
The king suddenly looked at him, and he was so frightened that he immediately adjusted his expression.
"Witt has made such a great contribution this time, am I right?
We should invite him to the palace, hold a banquet specifically for him, and help him find a wife at the banquet."
Duke Dark rolled his eyes and said: "The banquet is fine, after all, the eldest prince drove away the vampires. But, what kind of wife do you want to find for him?"
"Find a virtuous aristocratic woman. Maybe if he gets married, his rebellious thoughts will be reduced."
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's right for you to find a wife for him. Even if he gets married, he will still rebel when it's time to rebel. Why don't you listen to my suggestion and invite him to the palace to hold a banquet this time?
Just do it for a show, and then let him continue to return to Dawn Town to be the lord, and you continue to be wary of him."
"That's it..." The king thought for a while and said, "Well, we won't find a wife for him, and we will just hold a banquet. Let you and the chef handle this matter. Also, do you want to use your power to
Duke Leigh was also invited, after all he was the one who lent troops to Werther."
"Your Majesty should indeed invite Duke Willy, but the distance is far and Duke Willy may not want to come."
"That's true. According to his character, he probably won't come, but I still have to write him an invitation letter. I'll start writing the letter now. You and Si Shan should prepare for the banquet."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Duke Duke turned away and showed an extremely sinister expression when his back was turned to the king.
A month ago, when he had just learned that Witte wanted to borrow troops, he believed that the vampires were going to attack Dawn Town. The reason why he advised the king not to borrow troops was because he wanted Witte to fall into a place of eternal destruction. Unexpectedly,
, just when he thought Werther was going to be in trouble, Duke Willy secretly sent troops to help.
Duke Willy has always remained neutral in the court and never favored anyone, but this time, he actually helped Werther, which was really shocking. Duke Dark was even more resentful about this. He thought to himself, it seems that in the future,
You need to keep an eye on Duke Willie to prevent him from doing anything detrimental to you.
After Duke Duke left the palace hall, he did not immediately go to the chef to discuss how to hold a banquet. Instead, he went to the residence of the second prince Ren Claude. Duke Duke wanted to provoke a relationship between him and Werther.
, let him do something at the banquet to embarrass Werther.
Lehn is the biological son of the current queen and the biological grandson of Duke Dak. Like his sister, the third princess, he is favored by the king, and both of them are the most likely candidates to inherit the throne.
Lern's character is very similar to that of the Queen. He is arrogant and domineering, and neither of them likes Werther. The only difference is that Lern is still childish and a little reckless in his actions. It is precisely because of this that it is perfect for Lern to deal with Werther.
.Duke Duke laughed loudly as he thought.
"Grandpa, what are you laughing at?" Len's voice came from behind Duke Dark.
Duke Dark was stunned for a moment, then adjusted his expression, turned around, and looked at Lern with a smile.
Lern had just finished practicing swordsmanship in the yard. At this time, he was handing over the ruby-encrusted sword to his entourage, and a male servant was wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. He had the same temperament as Werther.
Brown hair, brown eyes, and facial features are somewhat similar to Werther's. It's just that their temperaments are very different. Lern looks evil and innocent at the same time.
"Lern, I'm just going to find you." Duke Dark showed a mysterious look, "There are some things I need to discuss with you."
"Grandpa, if you have anything to do, go to my room and tell me." Ain took off his cloak, threw it to the valet beside him, and led Duke Dark towards where he lived.
They arrived at a luxurious door, and the valet carefully opened the door. Len walked straight in, and Duke Dark followed.
Lehn said to the attendants and footmen: "You wait outside first. I will call you in after I finish talking to my grandfather."
"Yes, Your Highness." The attendants and footmen said respectfully.
Len closed the door and walked towards Duke Dark.
"Grandpa, sit on the chair." He stretched out his hand to a large and luxurious chair next to him.
Duke Duke smiled and said, "You can sit down too."
After the two of them sat down at the same time, Lern put his arms on the table next to him and rested his head on his hands, looking a little tired.
"Lern, what's wrong with you?" Duke Dark asked with concern. He deliberately frowned to make his expression look more worried.
"I went out to practice swordsmanship for half a minute just now, and I'm very tired."
"It's only half a minute..." Duke Dark twitched his lips in surprise.
Lehn's abilities in other aspects are pretty good, and even his riding skills are superb, but his swordsmanship is terrible. And the royal family of Notland attaches great importance to the skill of swordsmanship. If Lehn is good in this aspect,
The long-term lack of progress will inevitably affect his status in the king's heart. For this reason, the queen also had a headache, and specifically told Lern's followers to watch him practice swordsmanship every day.
Len's expression gradually turned depressed: "Does even my grandfather look down on me? In terms of swordsmanship, I am indeed not as good as those cousins and cousins, nor as good as my own sister, but I can make up for it in other aspects.
.What's more, I do practice swordsmanship every day. Although I only practice for half a minute each time, I practice it twice a day."
"Twice...then you only practice for one minute every day." Duke Dark twitched his mouth in surprise again.
"Grandpa, why did you come to see me?" Len asked impatiently.
Duke Dark immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this matter will be a little tricky for you. You don't know that the eldest prince has been lucky recently and accidentally successfully resisted the attack of the vampires. He was immediately
After achieving great success, the king's attitude towards him changed a lot. The king even planned to prepare a banquet specially for him.
I'm worried that this will affect your status in the king's heart, so I want to remind you to make some preparations before the eldest prince comes to the palace for the banquet, and don't let him steal your limelight again."
After hearing this, Lern was shocked: "You mean that stupid Werther actually drove away the vampires? Werther is such an incompetent person, I don't even regard him as my biological brother! He suddenly made a contribution, this
What do you want me to do?”
"There are two possibilities for why this kind of thing happened. One is that the eldest prince hides his secrets, and his previous incompetence was all pretended; the other is that he is really lucky. But no matter what, you can't let him stand in the way.
You cannot let the king trust or value him before you."
"Then what should I do?"
"You can think of a strategy to make Werther embarrassed on the day of the banquet, so that he loses face and makes the king completely lose hope in him."
"What you said makes sense. I should think about how to deal with Werther. This idiot Werther, I must not let him gain the upper hand." Lern lowered his head slightly and thought carefully.
"I'm going to tell you this today, Len. You should think about how to deal with the eldest prince first. I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you for now." Duke Dark stood up and said.
"Grandpa, please go first. I will think of a plan to deal with Werther."
"I hope you can successfully teach the eldest prince a lesson so that he will not dare to step into Frank City again."
"I will. After you go out, remember to help me call my followers and servants in."
"knew."
Duke Dark left Lern's residence and went to find the chef again.
The two whispered to each other for a while. After Si Shan learned everything, he asked: "What do you want me to do, uncle?"
Duke Dark smiled sinisterly: "Just be responsible for manipulating his food. Do you still remember what food he was most afraid of when he was a child?"
Si Shan also smiled sinisterly and said: "Remember, I know how to do it."
