The Duke of Goran-Elson suddenly raised his head and tried to find the person who spoke before, but the other person has disappeared in the crowd, which made him a little interested-he has been completely tired of these guys' endless discussions these days And complain.
At first, he also expressed hope to these royal parties, hoping that they could overthrow the newly-rising Lord Earl to the ground just like the overthrow of Anlek's rule. But soon he was disappointed. From the beginning to the end of the Second Black Rose War, these people argued endlessly, but they couldn't come up with an idea. Instead, the other party's mistress made a decisive move to get Denel to kill him.
Not as good as a woman.
The Duke of Golan-Elson sneered at these so-called old royal parties, but he immediately became concerned that the strong rise of Tonigel was not just to harm the traditional royal party forces. In fact, it was the place in charge of the kingdom. The chief executive of the Kingdom, which can even be said to be the role of the lord of a party, the dukes of the kingdom felt a more direct threat.
And he is even more so.
The son of the Duke of Lantonilan, Ike, was a staunch supporter of the eldest princess in the Battle of Amperexel, and the Grand Duke Vieiro was the closest relative of the princess. Caraçu’s status is aloof, not to mention the Cardiloso family. There are still inextricably linked connections. Among the various princes in the south, Anlek and Jean Denel have been eliminated. The only "enemy" of the princess is left, and it seems that he is the only one left. .
Moreover, Duke Goran-Elson disagrees with some of the princess's actions, and the threat from the other side is always on his back.
He saw that these royal parties could not succeed. They might represent the interests of some people behind them, but these people seemed to be equally hesitant—on the one hand, they were worried about the reaction of the Highland Knights, and on the other hand, they were afraid of the counterattack of the northern nobles. Duke Goran-Elson knew very well that the two ends of these people's snakes and rats, if the knife hadn't been put on his neck, in fact, he was willing to act as one of these walls.
"These people will never understand the truth of the lips and the teeth." The Duke thought with disappointment.
He did not intend to participate in this regular gathering of the old royal party forces—he knew that the royal party is now divided into two, and core members such as Overwell and Nimesis have abandoned these past comrades. After Woods died, Macaro couldn't escape the world, and the rest of these people were all insignificant guys.
But before today, someone invited him here for special reasons. Thinking of the mysterious guys who have been in contact with him these days, Duke Goran-Elson had vaguely guessed the identity of the other party.
But he didn't dare to confirm, he didn't understand how'those people' would be interested in little Eruin
Because of this, he was forced to sit here patiently, but after a long period of boring and waiting, he seemed to have finally found the shadow of those people in his previous speeches.
He knew in his heart that the short-sighted guys in front of him didn't have the ability to grasp the point like this.
The anger was fermenting in the crowd, and Duke Goran-Elson finally got a bit of energy. He straightened up and focused on observing the reaction of everyone present.
"Never let her play conspiracies and tricks here!" someone shouted, and the Duke glanced in that direction and recognized that he was just a lowly baron with no territory, but behind him were some traditional nobles in the Vieiro area. power.
"We must take action!" Some representatives of the old aristocratic forces in Anlek showed the same repression and anxiety. Since the area was reclassified under the royal family's jurisdiction, the days of the aristocratic forces in these marginal areas have not been as good as each day.
Although they were originally under the oppression of Duke Anlek, life is not better there.
Those who spoke were all useless idiots—Goran-Elson Duke shook his head in confusion. Could it be that the other party asked him to come here to see this
The nobles talked a lot, they were angry, but they could not come up with an idea-Tonigel's power was obvious, and the loyalty to Her Royal Highness Princess was also a powerful force, including the White Lions and the royal fleet. , On the contrary, these people, although they represent the most traditional aristocratic power in the South, they can't put together any decent power.
The earliest core and high-level leaders of the royal party at least still have strength in their hands, at least Lantonilan's army and knights are still loyal to them. But when the royal party splits, the original high-level leaders will either leave or take refuge in the eldest princess, and the remaining people are actually just capitulations in the royal party. Overwell and Macaro may not be able to value these people. , It is naturally impossible for them to hold any power in their hands.
Just as Duke Goran-Elson began to feel bored, a note was suddenly passed to him by his subordinates. The Lord duke was startled slightly, he put the note under the table, opened it and glanced at it, his face immediately became serious.
He took one last look at these incompetent guys, shook his head, turned his head and made a gesture to his servant, and the two quietly left the seat.
Someone on the scene noticed the movements of the Lord Duke, but not many people cared. It was an accident that Lord Duke was willing to appear in this venue these days, and his departure early was also something that had long been expected.
However, Duke Goran-Elson did not leave the venue through the back door as usual, and returned to his mansion in a carriage there. Instead, under the leadership of his subordinates, he came to a relatively remote room in the venue.
When he opened the door, the guests in the door had been there waiting for him for a long time.
The Duke of Golan-Elson stopped suddenly, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the three people who got up to pay tribute to him.
…
Werner Ognarden Silva looked a little gloomy.
The master of Vieiro, the chief executive of Valentenburg, the grandfather of the current HRH Princess Eruin, and the Duke of Vieiro have many troubles, but the most exhausting thing is that he is the most troublesome. The antagonism between my daughter and myself.
He did not expect that Eunice would actually like a petty officer of insignificant origin during an envoy, even if the opponent is the confidant of Earl Yanilasu, besides in the kingdom, he may not be worthy of the'royal captain', the other party personally He may not be willing to come to marry his daughter, let alone a subordinate.
This daughter of his has always been smart, strong, and mature. He originally intended to use this daughter to maintain the relationship between the Vieiro family and the emerging kingdom official, the new Earl Jean De Nell. The Duke of Vieiro is a smart man. He is very optimistic about Brando’s future. This highland knight-born kingdom political star is by no means without foundations. On the contrary, he is from a prominent family and is not only the eldest son of the Cardiloso family. It was recognized by the Highland Knights. If you can marry such an outstanding young man, it is what the Duke of Vieiro would like to see.
But the development of the matter was a little beyond his expectation. He deeply hated that he hadn't made it clear with his daughter beforehand. He thought that Eunice could understand this, because some things said too clearly would be too utilitarian. He knew that Count Tonigel was a clever man, and he would definitely see his intentions.
However, this time Euni’s reaction was unexpectedly tough. She was unwilling to give up the relationship and protested by hunger strike. She told him that she admired the young earl very much, but this affection was only in admiration, and it was impossible to go further.
More than one dispute between the father and daughter created a deep rift between the two, which made him complain about Brando. Before this, Eunice was not like this. She always obeyed herself in everything. This father's arrangement. However, after her mission, she became a different person, becoming assertive and stubborn a lot.
From the bottom of his heart, the Duke of Vieiro believed that it was not his fault, he thought it must be Brando who broke his daughter.
Routinely questioned Euni’s maid. After learning that his daughter had been on a hunger strike for three days, the Duke of Vieiro was both heartbroken and a little tired. He sighed deeply and felt that the world had begun to separate from him. Control.
He was originally Vieiro’s supreme ruler, and no one dared to defy his words. His grandson and granddaughter are the masters of this kingdom—but now, he feels more and more pressure from his granddaughter. .
And the failure of the marriage forced the Duke to face a more serious fact-the royal family is creating a distance from the old aristocratic powers. Although the princess still treats his grandfather as respectful in her letter, he can clearly I feel that they are walking on a completely different path between the two.
People like himself will finally become a stumbling block to the royal family one day. Although Duke Vieiro doesn't know what centralization is, as a smart man, he has vaguely felt that the sword hanging above his head is about to fall.
Thinking of this, Duke Vieiro seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and he waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, let her go, she is my daughter after all."
"My Lord Duke?" The maid's eyes widened, and she looked at the ruler of this land somewhat inconceivably.
"Why?" Duke Vieiro roared: "You are not going to listen to me? Waiting to stay and watch my joke? Get out!"
The maids immediately retreated tremblingly in fright.
The Duke of Vieiro was panting heavily, like a wounded beast. He held his desk and looked around with red eyes, his expression changing for a while.
