Compared with the second prince Charlie, the eldest prince Wenton is indeed a little inferior, but as the first heir to the throne of Loen, he still has some basic political skills. Although he let Rebel and Lucerne know each other's existence
, but it does not allow the two to cooperate on something, it is more like checking and balancing the two. The trust in the two is actually very limited.
Lucerne has already understood this during the time he spent with him. For example, his mission is to win over some people from MI9, but it cannot be done in the name of Govington. At best, it is just a hint. And the person really responsible for this is Govington.
The butler is also from MI9, but he is a candidate appointed by the royal family and can directly mobilize the personnel of MI9 in the name of the prince. Read the book
Even so, Lucerne is sure to gain more trust from Govington. Through information and interactions, he has confirmed that the prince's biggest shortcoming is that he has character flaws and is a little too arrogant. He originally lost in the East Balam naval battle.
Later, there were signs of reflection and change, but after the truth of the matter was revealed in the form of rumors, the prince no longer believed that it was his mistake.
It is this kind of character that allows Govington to accept people like him who defected after gaining momentum, and he can also accept subordinates of competitors like Rebel. But this is not tolerance and magnanimity, but based on his arrogance.
Arrogant character.
With this premise, coupled with the support of Director Selt, Lucerne is naturally sure to surpass the housekeeper in Govington and win more trust.
Standing in front of a "Knight's Charge Statue", Covington looked at it with interest and said contemptuously:
"This is outdated now. Intis's six-barreled machine gun has completely eliminated the cavalry regiment, and the iron ship's cannon has begun to determine the direction of a war."
As an outstanding graduate of Pulitzer Naval Academy, Govington has never been interested in sword cavalry. He prefers battleships, cannons and war games, especially the latter. He can almost simulate this kind of thing invented by Emperor Russell on the chessboard.
I am very obsessed with the game of war, and I am very talented. I play games with my classmates and teachers, and I get the last laugh almost every time.
It is a pity that as the first heir to Loen, he cannot set foot on the real battlefield. Otherwise, he believes that through the accumulation of practical experience, he will definitely become the naval marshal who dominates the five seas.
"Yes, no matter how fast the horse is, it can't outrun bullets, let alone cannonballs. Just the roar of the cannon is enough to make these little guys just run away in a hurry." Lucerne responded as usual.
Govington laughed loudly, waved his hand and said
"Okay, let's not talk about this... Let's talk about the recent situation of MI9. You just said that Mr. Selt of MI9 and the three major churches jointly launched an operation, and among the targets were those crazy people from the Aurora Society.
?A divine envoy died?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the original target was the Spiritual Religion Group. Those guys from the Southern Continent were preparing a plan that could threaten millions of people in Backlund. They just happened to run into the Aurora Society. Although they had done some things before the action,
I was prepared, but something unexpected happened.”
"Preparation? Accident? Humph, I think there was a loophole in the design plan, right?" Govington snorted coldly, anger welling up, "Also, I remember very clearly that in order to ensure the safety of my sister's wedding, the notice
After passing MI9 and the three major churches, he asked them not to take action against the Aurora Society for the time being. His Majesty also agreed to this matter, and they also agreed. Why do they insist on taking action?"..."Or are we talking about the action against the Spiritual Society?
, has reached the point where Backlund will be destroyed if it is not carried out? If so, why not apply to the royal family, apply to the respective temples, and dispatch a few more demigods to ensure that the plan will not fail! Now this is the situation
, what if the Aurora Madmen launch a suicide attack on my sister’s wedding in retaliation?”
His Royal Highness, who looks exactly like his grandfather William VI the Strong, became increasingly angry as he spoke. He regarded this wedding as the first step towards becoming the Crown Prince and the "Prince of White Rose". If something went wrong,
Then what will the nobles from various countries who attend the wedding think of him?
"MI9 must give me an explanation for this matter!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Lucerne nodded in agreement without hesitation. He knew that Govington wanted to put pressure on MI9 and secretly spread the news internally instead of actually telling Selt. This was done by the butler.
Do.
This is the only thing Covington can gain from this accident. The three major churches will not pay attention to his appeal.
Seeing Rebel walking in the distance holding a document bag, Govington waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go."
"yes."
Lucerne turned and left, his eyes swept over the document bag held by Rebel not far away, and left with his head lowered.
"Your Highness." Rebel, who had a determined look on her brows, saluted and handed over the document bag.
After taking the document bag, Govington's eyes struggled out of the billows under the black and white maid uniform. He didn't open it directly. He just took it in his hand and turned around to walk towards the garden in the distance. Rebel followed silently.
behind.
To be honest, Rebel is not a particularly beautiful person, much worse than his wife Mary, but Govington is indeed very interested in her almost completely opposite personality in bed and off.
…
The back garden of Edmund Robert's house in Cherwood.
Having already played two games with Edmund, winning one and losing one, Rawls frowned and looked at the black and white chessboard in front of him. While his "Black King" was being chased by the "White Queen", the situation changed.
Gradually unfavorable.
After a few minutes, he surrendered and shook his head helplessly:
"I lost again. I made a mistake every step of the way."
"Huh, you're still far away..." Edmund held the tea cup, hummed slightly, and showed a proud smile, "Okay, let's talk about it."
"What's the matter?" Rawls pretended to be confused.
"Then let's go!" Edmund motioned to Scaroline to see off the guests, but the latter just stood there and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Don't bother Ms. Scaroline, I still have something to say." Rawls quickly stopped. He finally lost two games, but he couldn't let it go to waste.
"I knew you were busy, otherwise you wouldn't play chess with me!" Edmund sneered.
After retirement, his temper has become more and more like that of a child... Rawls complained secretly, forced a smile and said:
"That's right, don't I have territory in Sisen County? Why don't you help me go check it out?"
"What? What happened there?"
Edmund put down his tea cup and looked serious. His father was a baron. Although he did not inherit the title as the youngest son, he still had a certain understanding of this aspect... The power of the nobles in the territory now is basically the same as it was hundreds of years ago.
It cannot be compared, there have always been many problems, especially since Rawls's fiefdom was not purchased by himself, there will only be more problems. Although a team of lawyers has been dispatched to take charge of these problems, many things are not limited to the law.
"Yes, there is a small problem, so I still need your help."
"Which problem is it? The royal family or the Negan family?"
Rawls's fiefdom has two parts, one part comes from the king's reward, and the other part comes from the Negan family. No matter which party it is, it is a big trouble.
"That's not true. Isn't it almost June?"
Edmund glanced at Rawls in confusion. Does he need to deal with things like harvesting in June? But this seems to be the first harvest after the territory changes its owner, so it is indeed more important.
"Okay, then I'll go take a look."
"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Robert." Rawls touched his head, as if he thought of something, "By the way, on June 5th, Princess Delina and Crown Prince Maxi will get married. Do you want to go and take a look?
, I also received the invitation, but I just don’t have time. Sisson County is only a three-hour steam train ride from Winston.”
"What am I going to do? See a prince who looks a bit like you and has the same name as you get married? You might as well work hard!" Edmund picked up the teacup again and rolled his eyes at Rawls.
When Rawls was still the boss of Adrian Law Firm, Edmund repeatedly urged him to get married as soon as possible. On the contrary, after he became Viscount Adrian, he rarely did so.
"Actually, I want you to help me talk about cooperation with Ma Xi. After all, my territory borders Ma Xi..." Rawls also gave the reason he had prepared long ago.
"Humph, this is the real purpose of why you asked me to go to Sisson County, right?" Edmund raised the corner of his mouth and put the chess pieces back into place, "Play a few games with me, and I will help you this time."
"Okay." Rawls agreed without hesitation.
Edmund Robert had watched him grow up and played the role of a father in his life. He wanted to let him attend his wedding no matter what.
…
In the garden of the "Night Song" Manor, Govington, who was naked to the upper body, sat up from the grass and stretched. The afternoon sun shone on the mottled and messy lip prints and blood stains on his body, and he had already changed his clothes.
, there was no trace of the madness on her face. Rebel was kneeling next to her with a warm towel, wiping away the traces of madness.
The comfortable feeling made Govington groan. While closing his eyes and enjoying the last tenderness, he recalled the exchange before the madness:
"Audrey is already an extraordinary person?"
"It's just a guess, but the possibility should be very high."
"No wonder she wasn't as excited about the opportunity given to Charlie to become an Extraordinary last year. It's a pity that Charlie didn't know the news until his death!" Govington chuckled.
Charlie sent Rebel to East Chester County to contact Audrey, but this happened to allow her to escape disaster and gave him all her years of accumulation. This made Govington feel only sincere joy and a trace of joy.
Fortunately. If Charlie succeeds, it will be impossible for Earl Hall to unite with other nobles to put pressure on the royal family. Without this new party supporter, his father may not bow his head... It's just a pity that I am already married, otherwise
How could it not be Charlie's turn to pursue this gem of the Hall family!
When Govington reached the age of marriage, the daughters of several noble families were either underage or already married. He could only choose a wife according to his mother's wishes and win his mother's support through his wife Martha.
"Now that you have a connection with Audrey, get closer to her. If she needs any formulas, materials or sealed items, she can provide appropriate help. Earl Hall dotes on his little daughter."
"Yes. Your Highness."
In fact, now, without the competition from Charles, Govington has enough confidence in becoming the crown prince, and is not too eager to gain the support of the great nobles. Instead, as Lucerne said, he wants to stabilize his current power.
military spirit, especially those of his marginalized classmates after the failure to rescue the East Balam coast.
And now, because the three major churches have sent personnel to the military, the original factional conflicts in the military have continued, making the situation even more chaotic, making it more suitable for them to expand their influence. The upcoming war is an excellent opportunity to save those classmates of theirs who went to school.
The reputation of their defeat due to Charlie's betrayal truly proved their ability.
The information provided by Rebel gave Govington the opportunity to reach out to the Royal Army who was close to Charlie. Thinking of this, his heart became even more heated, and he grabbed the arm that was still wiping his body with his backhand and fell backwards.
…
Daqiao South District, Rose Flower Street.
Wearing the priestly robe of the Church of the Mother Earth, Emlyn White stood at the door of the Harvest Church. After nodding with a smile and greeting a believer, he walked towards No. 59, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
The last time he reported the news was verified by Count Mistral and proved to be a premeditated trap. Although there was no loss and he received the goodwill of the three major churches, the arrogant Em was still disappointed.
Lin found it hard to accept it, especially the look in that guy's eyes when Casimi gave him the reward.
After ringing the doorbell, Maric, still wearing a white shirt and black vest, opened the door and stepped out of the way.
Emlyn walked in and waited until Maric closed the door before saying:
"The information you provided last time was a trap!"
Listening to Emlyn's obviously angry words, Maric narrowed his eyes, as if this could stop the madness accumulated in them from gushing out.
"trap?"
"You went with us for verification last time! If there is a trap, we won't be able to come back!"
"Then you should already know what happened in St. George District? Isn't that a trap?"
The last conflict that broke out between the Blood Clan and the three major churches was caused by him. If Count Mistral really took action this time, the impact would be unimaginable to Emlyn.
He started a war with humans! Although he was full of pride in his identity and the vampires, he also knew that they were no match for humans.
Once the war starts, it would be good for him not to say he becomes the savior of the vampire clan, but not to be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the vampire clan.
Every time he thought about it, Emlyn felt as if he was walking on the edge of death.
"That's not our problem."
Sharon's illusory and ethereal voice sounded, stopping the possible quarrel.
