Shelley explained: "That's different. First, when they got married, Orlando was just an ordinary captain of the Royal Knights. He later became the highest military commander of the imperial capital, so he couldn't be the first to take office. The first thing is to leave his wife, right? Secondly, don't look at how much Orlando takes care of Luke now. Even during the competition, in order for Farasi's team not to be disturbed, he even took the initiative to send people to Luke's house to maintain order. . But believe it or not, as long as Luke behaves disgracefully to His Majesty, you will see Orlando personally tie Luke to His Majesty the Emperor the next day!"
Bailey asked, "Are you so sure?"
A kind smile appeared on Shellis's face. She looked at her son Bailey's doubtful face and said with a smile: "My child, you don't know enough about the Holy Knights. Before they become Holy Knights, they must learn about themselves." They swore an oath in front of the main god, and only a few people knew that oath. If they violated the oath, they would lose the power given by the main god! What's more, how could a position like the head of the Royal Knights be given to an emperor who could not trust him? Where is the person? Let me tell you, when Orlando swore before the Lord God, Archbishop Ibel personally baptized him, and the witness was the late father of His Majesty the King Fernando XIII, Fernando XII! "
"So that's it!" The doubtful look disappeared from Bailey's face, and he murmured: "So that's it, I finally understand."
Shelley sneered and said: "Otherwise, how could he stand out among the many knights back then? It was just because he was lucky and met the blessing of the God of War! Every leader of the Royal Knights must be a believer of the God of War, otherwise he will have the same hatred and the same enemy." There’s no way to use it.”
Shelley pointed at Bailey and said: "Don't think about these personal affairs between men and women now. The top priority is to win the championship in this competitive competition! His Majesty the Emperor has not been in power for long, so he just takes advantage of this opportunity to discover new people. Such a good thing You must seize the opportunity! In addition, try to establish an open-minded and energetic image. This will help your future career."
Bailey had a determined look on his face. He nodded seriously at Shelley and said, "I understand, mother."
Shelley nodded with satisfaction and said: "This is my Mary's child. You must always remember that the momentary love between a man and a woman will soon turn into a passing cloud, and only power can make you stand at the top forever and look down. Earth.”

Ivan hurried out of the Dream Bar and shouted loudly to Letoz in front of him: "Letoz, wait for me!"
Letoz, who was walking in front, stopped and turned around to look at Ivan coldly.
Ivan quickly walked up to Letoz and whispered, "You are a little too impatient today!"
Letoz looked Ivan up and down and said, "Oh, so I have affected your plan?"
Ivan heard Letoz's dissatisfaction, and he explained in a low voice: "Letoz, I understand your mood. Please remember that although I am very smooth in doing things and even like to take advantage of it, but My body is filled with the blood inherited from an ancestor like yours, and I will always stand by your side no matter what!"
When Letoz heard what Ivan said, his face gradually softened, and he said meaningfully to Ivan: "I hope you agree with me!"
Ivan shrugged his shoulders and said: "Time will prove everything. This sentence was said by our great ancestors. Oh, by the way, who said it?"
Letoz shook his head and said to Ivan: "It's Lord Ignatz-Patrick, the prophet who established a huge empire with our common ancestors!"
Ivan scratched his head and said mockingly: "Hey, why can't I always remember who said those great words?" Ivan changed his voice and said to Letoz: "Actually, you are a little impatient today. , you should know that several large caravans doing business with our Silent Seventeen Tribes all belong to the chamber of commerce under the name of Bailey's mother, Shellis, and Bailey's father is the Imperial Minister of State, very powerful. Power.”
Letoz shook his head and said: "I don't care about his origins. To me, this Bailey is very arrogant, and there is no need to cooperate with such a person. Today, in order to get a little benefit, we will pay a big price, and wait until he When we can control our destiny, we will pay more. Ivan, you should still remember that the prophet Ignatz Patrick was just an ordinary hunter back then. It was precisely because of the brutal rule of the empire at that time , he had to go deep into the Silent Forest to obtain more prey to pay those endless taxes. However, the Prophet unexpectedly received the blessing of the forest goddess in the depths of the Silent Forest and gained powerful abilities. ! Then the ancestors who did not succumb to the brutal rule began to resist!"
Ivan nodded and said, "Of course I know, but even if you don't plan to cooperate with that guy, there's no need to fall out in person!"
Letoz looked at Ivan with a half-smile and said, "Do you really think so?"
There was a sly smile in Ivan's eyes, and he said: "If I guess correctly, you may have two plans in mind when you listen to my arrangement to meet this Bailey this time. If we can cooperate, there is no need to say more; and If he is just a greedy guy, he just takes this opportunity to fall out and publicize the news. Now is the period of the Royal Athletic Competition, and we are a pretty good team, which will definitely attract the attention of others. , maybe it can attract more caravans to our side."
Letoz nodded and said: "Yes. Why do we have to be squeezed by these guys? The largest chamber of commerce in the empire, the Dorok Business Alliance, headquartered in Yignas City, has enough gold coins to fight against a country; and Sea Breeze The group of pirates in the city like and are good at smuggling... Many people have long been covetous of the trade in our Silent Forest area that is monopolized by Shellis's Chamber of Commerce. In the past, due to some reasons, they were unwilling to pay a certain price. Come to seize the trading rights here, and now we just take this opportunity to tell them; we need a lot of daily necessities, and we are willing to pay the corresponding gold coins. Although it is a little troublesome, it can solve the problem that has always restricted the development of our seventeen tribes. The price is worth paying!”
"Aren't you afraid that those guys will be warned by the upper echelons of the empire and not dare to get involved?"
"When the interests reach a very high level, it will make people crazy, even if they are facing the gallows and a decapitating axe." Letoz opened his mouth slightly and said a few words: "The great Prophet, your words are so correct, not much has changed on this continent in a thousand years!"
