Three days before the time had returned, Baron Ludwig's castle was in another courtyard.
Brando was accompanied by Nimesis and Charles to this other courtyard. This other courtyard is located in the courtyard behind the castle. The entire courtyard is shaded by the shade of a huge oak tree, under the oak tree. The woman with black hair and shawl sits in a wheelchair, and the sun shines dappled light on her through the branches. The woman is motionless, beside her, there is another lady with extremely tall silver hair standing. The silver-haired lady is Ms. Misril, the silver dragon, and the woman in the wheelchair can be seen from the figure as a stunning beauty, but the naked|exposed skin and face are extremely horrible, covered with burn marks, a piece A piece of necrotic brown skin is molting, and the new red skin left after molting is extremely disproportionate to the white skin elsewhere.
If any other woman suffered such a blow, she might go crazy because the blow was too big, but Delphine, the daughter of the prime minister, was sitting quietly in a wheelchair. She was blind in one eye, and only left The eye sockets shrank into a ball, but the other eye was calm as usual, and a deep light was hidden deep in the purple eyes, as if this huge disaster did not happen to her, and it had no effect on her.
When Brando saw the prime minister’s daughter again, he couldn’t help but was stunned. The first time he saw this woman in the ring of trade winds, she was indeed like this, but when he saw her again later , The prime minister's daughter had become an unreasonable shrew, he couldn't help feeling a little astonished for a while, wondering which one was the real her. However, this prime minister's daughter is quite famous in history, and is a famous genius of the empire. The female knight near Brando, Nimesis, was relatively calm. Seeing Brando didn't speak, she spoke for him: "Delphine, do you want to see us?"
The prime minister's daughter looked up at her and Brando and nodded: "I want to negotiate terms with you."
"condition?"
Delphine did not mention the previous events. Brando knew that this woman was famous for wisdom in history. If she no longer mentions it, it means that she has figured it out. She disdains to mention the past things, because knowing that it won’t help. , Can neither change anything nor recover the loss, it is a waste of time. Such a woman is terribly calm, so Brando also became serious and cheered up a bit, wanting to hear what the conditions were in her mouth.
Different from the way ordinary people speak, Delphine didn’t intend to talk about the origins of the story. He skipped the beginning and said: “I can come here through a mercenary called Solinz. This mercenary is near the imperial capital. Quite famous, he also has a nickname called Owl. He has a subordinate called Pori Fire felt, who is a dwarf, but I now suspect that these two are not the same at all. I can leave the imperial capital and go to Yongyinhe Finding you nearby is all thanks to the "blessings" of these mercenaries. They were able to escape from the men my father sent to chase me, and bypassed the encirclement of Qiao Gendigang's army, and found your small envoy. , I originally thought these people were quite capable."
Before Brando could react, Nimesis coldly replied: "There is no such a superb mercenary in this world. In other words, you can find them because someone wants you to find us." After hearing this, Lando couldn't help but glanced at Nimesis in surprise, and felt that Nimesis said this in a tone that resembled the senior sister he was familiar with.
"It's not someone. Her Majesty wanted me to come to you. Later I learned that they had a boss called Rodney. This person is the Count of the Empire. You must have known it, sir—"
"Your Majesty? Why?"
Delphine didn't even have any extra points on the expression on his face, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with her: "I am also very curious why, you are a little Eruin, why is your Majesty the Queen twice. Trouble finding you."
"Twice, twice?" Nimesis asked.
"And last time at Tonigel." Brando reacted this time.
The words of the prime minister's daughter immediately planted the seeds of doubt in his heart. Yes, if it was after the explosion in the center of the Dead Frost Forest, Constance came to trouble him, or it could be said that it was because of the Azure Spear to test him, but before that, he and this Her Majesty the Queen does not have any intersection at all. Although he suffered a lot from the Temple of Flame in Ampersel, everyone knows that the Temple of Flame is the Temple of Flame, and the empire is an empire. To say that the Queen of Silver should also thank him. It is impossible to trouble him. The enmity between Delphine and him was forged during the trade winds. This kind of thing should seem to be a trivial matter to a person of Constance's level, but she not only noticed this little matter, but also I have taken the trouble to use it, it is not like what an empire supremacy should do, unless she is idle enough to pay attention to the daily activities of the nobles in her surrounding small country.
It is possible to say that there were several emperors in the history of the empire who were overhead by the temple, but the Silver Queen is definitely not such a person. Now it seems that she not only has the government affairs of the empire to deal with, but also has a lot of things to do in private. Prepare.
How can she find time to pay attention to such a trivial existence
This is obviously premeditated.
But the question that puzzles Brando is how the Silver Queen knew about her existence. She obviously had only one reason for her, and that was that she had known that he had the inheritance of the dark dragon. How did you learn it? Or is it the secret feeling between the inheritors of the dragon of darkness? But this is obviously nonsense. Why does Her Majesty have feelings for him, but he has no feelings for Her Majesty at all. And if it is because he is the grandson of Darus, it is unlikely that the gray gemstone in her grandfather's hand was obviously absorbed by Constance herself. If she pays attention to her deceased person, it is also impossible. It should be out of the mentality of repaying gratitude.
Of course, Brando doesn't expect the Queen to remember his grandfather's favor to her in the past, as long as the other party doesn't trouble him, he will thank God. He shook his head, and suddenly remembered what Delphine had said before. The prime minister's daughter said that she wanted to negotiate terms with them, presumably she had some thoughts on the ins and outs of the whole matter.
This is her condition.
When Delphine saw Brando's gaze return to her, he knew that he had already figured it out clearly, and said bluntly: "This is my condition."
"What do you want?" Brando thought that what the prime minister's daughter wanted was freedom. After this time, the enmity between her and him was extremely deep, but she obviously couldn't take revenge here, she had to think The way to return to the imperial capital, or at least to escape from this guarded environment. But what Brando couldn't think of was that Delphine replied: "I heard that you have an assistant in Eruin. I saw that lady once in your territory. She is an outstanding nobleman. I believe You can also manage your territory in an orderly manner. But this kind of ability can only be regarded as an excellent female officer at best. As an assistant, it is far from qualified."
When Brando heard this sentence, he didn't react for a while. When he finally understood the true meaning of this sentence, he was stunned and stared at the prime minister's daughter in amazement.
"What do you mean by that...?"
"What I mean is obvious, but you don't want to believe it. There is a best candidate in front of you. It depends on whether you are willing to accept it." Delphine replied flatly, her voice a little hoarse , I don’t know if it was because of my vocal cord burn before: "I am very confident in myself. I believe that in the entire empire, there is no better candidate than me."
"But..." Brando was a little dizzy for a while. The prime minister's daughter became like this today. Although he is not the direct cause, if he wants to anger, he will definitely not escape, let alone'killed' before. Her fiance—at least he knew that Delphine had absolutely thought so before. Putting himself in the position and thinking about it, Brando felt that if he was replaced by himself, he would definitely want to stab his enemy to death. But the young lady's thoughts in front of her were obviously different from those of ordinary people. Brando originally thought that the idea of a traverser was very unique in this world, but compared with this lady, it was simply too vulgar.
"Why are you doing this, motive?" Nimesis on the side calmly asked the question he wanted to ask the most at the moment.
"I thought for a moment. Her Majesty the Queen prompted me to leave the imperial capital for two reasons." Delphine still said the same way: "The first is to send a letter -"
"Signaling?"
Delphine explained carefully: "I obviously can't really cause you any trouble. Although I thought it was okay before, but at that time, I didn't realize your strength clearly. I would not deceive myself. At least from today, my thoughts at that time were quite naive. Since I can see this today, Her Majesty must have known it a long time ago, then she asked me to come to you, is it just to make you sick I think Her Majesty the Queen does not have this leisurely mind, so there is only one possibility. She let me appear by your side for other purposes. I carefully recalled the whole process of my actions. In the process of my actions, it seems that it did not cause you Any trouble, so Either Her Majesty’s plan failed, otherwise she must have achieved her goal through some means that I could not imagine in advance."
"Lord Lord," she changed her name inadvertently: "You know, reality is not a bedside story. In reality, the more complicated a plan is, the more likely it will fail. Since Her Majesty has bothered to arrange me like this A chess piece is obviously not going to fail. Therefore, after careful argumentation, I came to a conclusion that in your Majesty's plan, as long as I appear in front of you, her plan will succeed."
Brando was like a book, and it took him a long time to straighten out the logical relationship in this passage: "You mean, when you appeared by my side, you have already conveyed a certain message." Before he finished speaking, suddenly He frowned. If Delphine's words were not aimless or deliberately deceiving, then there is a problem in it. What message did Constance send and to whom
This means that there is likely to be someone placed by the Silver Queen beside him.
He immediately remembered what Delphine had said before. If Constance had an eyeliner by his side in the morning, then her subsequent actions would make sense. Why would she be so like to a small person in this remote area? Interested, and troubled him again and again, it was obvious that the other party knew of his existence early on. Brando suddenly reacted. It has been nearly 20 years since the Silver Queen got the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. Compared to him, she obviously knew more about everything about the Dark Dragon. He got the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. In such a short period of time, witches have come to him, so there is no reason why there are no witch followers on Constance's side.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Silver Queen had put an eyeliner in the witch early in the morning. When Barbasa announced the appearance of his successor to the Dark Dragon, she had already entered the vision of the Queen. The more Brando thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. Recently, he faintly felt that someone behind Fattan harbor was agitating the nobles to make trouble, but he has not found the culprit until today.
Brando was silent for a while, frowning, and there was a spy around him, but it was not clear who the spy was. Because there are so many possibilities, it may be a mercenary, it may be an adventurer, or it may be a witch. The strength of the firing collar is too complicated, but there is no way, except for the card of the travel wizard. In addition, in the early days of Tonigel's development, he did not have his own people to use.
Seeing Brando’s expression, Delphine knew that he had already figured out the cause and effect. She remained silent until Brando continued to ask: "Miss Delphine, what do you think Her Majesty wants you to convey? What is it?"
"I said earlier that Her Majesty the Queen prompted me to leave the emperor for two reasons. The second reason is to let me leave my father and my grandfather. In fact, this is a private secret. The current Dutch family has always been I’m at the helm, my grandfather is very old, and my father is far from his ability. In addition, I am extremely important in my grandfather’s mind. If I leave the imperial capital, it is equivalent to fall into the control of your majesty. Then threaten it..." Delphine paused: "I haven't heard from the outside for many days, but I think the lord should know what is going on in the imperial capital."
Brando could not help but turn up the stormy waves after hearing her words. The fate of Niedervan, the largest aristocratic family in the empire, was in the hands of this young girl who was not yet twenty years old, and she knew she knew herself. He even dared to leave the imperial capital to find revenge for himself. If you say that this is reckless, it is indeed reckless. He himself has even personally experienced such recklessness. She tried to find revenge for herself over and over again. Caused a lot of trouble for myself.
But to say that this woman has no brains, all this has now proved that even if Brando has no brains, this Miss Delphine will definitely not have no brains. This can only explain one problem. The guy named Viscount Elman who died in the ring of trade wind is so important in this woman's heart. He couldn't help being a little jealous for a while, so that he could make such a heavenly prodigy. The girl is in love, and that guy is really lucky.
He was silent for a moment before nodding: "Your grandfather and father are under house arrest. Like other nobles who oppose Her Majesty the Queen, now the entire emperor is under the control of the Silver Queen, and there is no second voice."
Delphine was not surprised by this. She nodded: "This is my motive. I am a member of the Niederven family. I can't just watch it fall, although it does have my fault to this step. Inside, but now that I have calmed down, I won’t go my own way anymore."
Brando was silent.
Delphine has good reasons and motives, but this woman is really too smart, how can he guarantee that all of what she said is true, instead of gaining his trust and waiting for an opportunity to give him a fatal blow Woolen cloth? In the final analysis, compared to Delphine, he can only be regarded as a mortal. He wondered that he could not let go of his hatred so freely, especially looking at the criss-cross scars on this lady's face, keeping her by his side, it was absolutely It's a time bomb, and it's the most terrifying kind.
He thought for a while and replied: "You can join me temporarily, but you actually have a better candidate besides me."
"You mean the prince's eldest son?" Delphine shook his head: "I am more optimistic about you than him. The prince's eldest son has Ludwig's military aristocrats who support him. The Niederven family cannot help him at this time. What's busy? Even if I was on his side, it would only benefit me alone. This is not what I wanted. On the contrary, you, Lord Earl, although you are a foreigner, you are now considered to be an important part of the empire. I hope that as long as you are strong enough in the future, Lord Lord, you can guarantee the influence of the Niederven family in the empire. In turn, the Niederven family can maintain its influence at the top of the empire, and the same can be done. Consolidate your position in Eruin, Lord Earl, this is a win-win alliance."
"Do you also know about the prince's eldest son?" Brando was shocked and almost thought that there was another rape around him. He didn't even tell the witch about this, and only the closest relatives around him knew about it. .
"It's not difficult to guess. I walked with Lord Lord from Ruen Port and watched Lord Lord come to this point. It was considered a desperate situation. There was almost no way to break the situation. But Lord Lord still has no fear, obviously it is early. With the hole cards, I have summarized the recent events, and can only conclude that the eldest son of the emperor is still in your hands." Delphine replied quietly.
As soon as she said this, Brando and Nimesse frowned, but Delphine seemed to have known what they were worried about, and said: "Lord Lord, please rest assured, I'm also following you all the way. Guessing this, the Silver Queen thinks that she has planted a hand by your side, taking advantage of you step by step, and may not have expected you to have a second hand."
"But, didn't you say that she had eyeliner by my side?"
The daughter of the prime minister smiled: "Presumably the lord takes care of her lord very closely, and the eyeliner placed by Her Majesty the Queen can't pass information to her ears all the time, otherwise she would not arrange such a plan for me to come. Sending information, it can be seen that this eyeliner is just a dark move that she pre-arranged for Lord Lord, and this dark move has not yet come into play."
Brando also thinks about it, his territory is very different from that of other nobles. There are so many mages under him. It is really not an easy task to quietly pass on the news from the firs through spells. . Thinking about it this way, the Silver Queen puts her eyeliner beside her, she probably really knows that she exists by herself, but there are probably not too many secrets to master her.
He nodded, and the question went back to the original one.
"But," Brando asked: "How can you prove that what you are saying is true? I am a layman. I really don't worry about putting an enemy by my side. I might let you go, but as Staff... You know, apart from enmity, we have no other relationship."
"I have no way to prove it." Delphine replied quietly, her remaining eye shining brightly: "But I have what you want. The Silver Queen has obviously decided to use it. The dark chess next to you, she is secretly targeting you, Lord Lord, but Lord Lord, you don’t seem to have the idea to deal with—"
Brando took a deep breath.
