Da da da…
Cathy walked into the restaurant lightly, refilled the glasses for the two people who were talking, and then left lightly.
After the hall was closed again, Bachelor Dawn said surprisingly: "Master Viscount, in fact, between Miss Vera and Young Master Joyce, Emperor Reinhardt will definitely lean towards Miss Vera."
"Oh? Why?" Ke Lin's heart moved, and he asked quickly.
Maester Dawn took a sip of coffee and said calmly:
"Master Viscount, do you know why the San Lorenzo family tolerated the Santheon family's usurpation of the northern border? They even secretly ordered the Menam family to send troops to attack the Golden Lion Army?"
"It should be to split the northern border." Colin said in an uncertain tone.
"The Menam family and the Dawson family really want to establish a dwarf kingdom. This move will split the northern border, but do you really think that because of this, the San Lorenzo family will ignore the relationship with the San Hilde family? , to help the San Theon family, who has an old enemy with me, to seize the northern border?"
"The Saint Theon family should have given other conditions."
"Yes. I also guessed this way before, but the death of the Duke immediately made me realize what the conditions given by the Saint Sean family are."
"What is it?" Colin was immediately aroused by the other party's curiosity.
Bachelor Dawn did not answer immediately, but asked, "Master Viscount, what do you think killed the Duke?"
"It should be some kind of forbidden curse."
"I think so too, and, I guess, this forbidden spell should be the masterpiece of that Mr. Xie from the Saint Theon family, but I don't know what price he paid for it."
Hearing this, Ke Lin couldn't help but think of Falling Eagle City in the raging fire, and Mr. Zhe who was surrounded by green smoke.
He wanted to tell Dawn about the Fallen Eagle City, but he stopped when he got to his mouth.
The incident of Falling Eagle City has just passed one day. With the communication speed of this world, it is impossible for Colin to learn the news so quickly.
In order not to reveal his biggest secret, Ke Lin can't let anyone know now. He knows the situation of Falling Eagle City, and he will have to wait at least a few days before talking about it.
"Master Viscount, do you know Prince Leahy?" Bachelor Dawn of course couldn't guess what Colin was thinking, and asked again.
"Well, I know, the only paladin in the royal family who is still alive."
"Yes. Prince Lexi is a good paladin, but he was born in a collateral branch of the San Lorenzo family. Before he was promoted to the sanctuary, he was not taken seriously. He even suffered a lot of grievances because of the competition for training resources.
This also caused this person to be domineering after becoming a paladin, with a strong desire for power, and he was not respectful to the direct line of San Lorenzo.
Therefore, Emperor Reinhard both relies heavily on and fears this person, and I think the latter is even more important.
But the strength of Prince Lehi is destined to be invincible, and Emperor Reinhard can only swallow his anger in front of him.
Therefore, when I saw the Duke of St. Hilde die under some unknown curse, I understood exactly what the conditions of the St. Sean family used in exchange for the emperor's support. "
Colin also understood at this time: "You mean, the Saint Theon family used this curse that can kill paladins in exchange for the support of Emperor Reinhardt?"
Bachelor Dawn nodded: "Yes, Emperor Reinhard is afraid of Prince Lexi's force, if at this time the Saint Theon family sends a curse that can kill paladins, hehe, Emperor Reinhard will definitely Will be tempted."
Colin nodded involuntarily, agreeing with this guess.
But then he wondered again: "Then what does this have to do with Emperor Reinhard's support for Vera becoming the Duke of the North?"
Bachelor Dawn smiled and continued to explain:
"I don't think Emperor Reinhard actually wanted to kill Prince Lehi.
The San Lorenzo family needs such a flag, and also needs a paladin to deter all directions, but the emperor certainly does not want this sharp sword to cut himself, so he needs something that can check and balance the paladin, that is, San Theon The forbidden curse of the family.
But in order to release this forbidden spell, Emperor Reinhardt needs the help of a mage.
However, the enmity between the nobles of the empire and the council of mages is too deep, and Emperor Reinhardt dared not openly win over Yevil, so he needs a partner of mages... "
When Colin heard this, he immediately reacted.
Mr. Xi is such a partner, but Vera can also be this partner!
She is both a descendant of the paladin family and a mage.
He is even more suitable to be the target of Emperor Reinhardt than Mr. Zhe!
Therefore, if Joyce and Vera were to be chosen to become the Duke of the North, Vera would definitely be the first choice in Emperor Reinhardt's heart.
Colin was excited. He was worried that it would be difficult for Vera to inherit the title of Duke of the North, but after the thorough analysis of Bachelor Dawn, he suddenly realized—
It turns out that Vera has an absolute chance of winning compared to Joyce!
Thinking of this, Colin's eyes on Maester Dawn became more and more fiery.
This is indeed a rare talent!
Talented, well-connected, and well-versed in the empire's dignitaries.
With the help of Maester Dawn, Colin will be even more powerful.
Although he was eager to solicit, Colin was not in a hurry.
Bachelor Dawn is a retainer of the St. Hilde family. As long as Vera successfully inherits the duke position, he will naturally become Colin's helper.
Of course, the premise of all this is to defeat the San Theon family.
If that gentleman is allowed to become the Duke of the North, then Vera and Joyce will stop arguing and go play with mud.
However, according to Bachelor Dawn's previous analysis, as long as the Golden Lions hold on to Cold Winter City and bring the battle to a stalemate, and divide the vassal forces of the San Theon family one by one, the chaos in the northern border will naturally subside.
"Very good, Bachelor Dawn. When I get my army in order, I will personally escort Vera to the Golden Lion Army camp as soon as possible, and persuade them to return to Winter City!"
Upon hearing this, Bachelor Dawn smiled happily and said, "Master Viscount, you have made the wisest choice! However, the army of the Menam family is approaching the Golden Lion Legion, and you must race against time before the opponent cuts off the Golden Lion Legion's retreat Arrive at camp."
"Okay, I'll start tomorrow morning."
"yes."
After that, the two chatted for a while, and Maester Dawn got up to leave.
Colin was the only one left in the restaurant. He drank the cold coffee alone, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, Cathy came in to pack her things and asked, "Sir, do you need anything else?"
Colin shook his head and ordered: "No need, I'm full. Let Aemon come to see me."
"yes."
Not long after, the butler Imon hurried into the restaurant: "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Well, I remember that Bachelor Dawn is not a commoner, right? What's his last name?"
"My lord, the maester's full name is Dawn White."
"White..." Colin suddenly went blind again, "Is this the Northern Family?"
Fortunately, Aemon knew a little about this family, so he quickly explained: "My lord, the White family is a vassal of the imperial family. The title of the family is Viscount, and the territory is in the Crimson Flame Territory. However, this Bachelor Dawn is not the eldest son of the family. To inherit the title."
"A vassal of the royal family?" Ke Lin's eyes flashed, and he was greatly surprised.
There must be some reason why a bachelor who came from a family of royal vassals was regarded by the Duke of St. Hilde as a confidant.
After a while, he spoke again and ordered: "You send someone to investigate this White family, I need more detailed information."
"Yes, sir."
"In addition, inform the Logue knights to summon a thousand black cavalry troops and follow me to the expedition tomorrow morning."
"yes."
