In the study room, the Duke of St. Pros raised his head and glanced at the eldest son opposite, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Marquis Vincent showed disappointment undisguised on his face, as well as a trace of loss and unhappiness just right. He sighed and said:
"Father, you also said that you have no partiality. At the beginning, my younger brother concluded that I had been assassinated in Silvermoon City based on some rumors, and you believed him almost immediately.
But now, one piece of irrefutable fact is in front of you, but you still refuse to believe me. "
The Duke of St. Pross still didn't speak, just placed the crystal chess piece in his hand on a position on the chessboard, and then looked at his son quietly, as if saying—
It's your turn.
Marquis Vincent threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, disrupting the chess game.
The Duke of St. Pros frowned, and was about to reprimand when he heard his son say:
"Father, don't you understand yet
Evan has been staring at the position of the Duke of the East Region from the very beginning. For this reason, he insisted that I had been killed in Silvermoon City in vain, regardless of his brotherhood.
In the end, in order to help him rise to the throne, you forced Earl Hall against you!
Also, when he gathered the lord's army in Tinder City to encircle Colin Angelet, didn't he know that the Blood Cavalry Army in Linshui City had only 3,000 people at that time
Where is the main force of the real blood cavalry army, just think about it a little bit and you will know!
But Evan knew that Colin Angelet was using himself as a bait, but he still ignored the real threat. Instead, he concentrated on gathering an army to march towards Linshui City.
This kind of behavior is simply harboring evil intentions!
He might even secretly wish that Bailu City would be broken by the main force of the Blood Cavalry Army, and it would be best if you and I were buried in the hands of the Blood Cavalry Army together, then wouldn't he become the first heir to the Duke of the Eastern Realm!
If Colin Angelet is caught again, hehe, Evan will be the hero of the East that everyone expects! "
After quietly listening to his son's heartbroken complaint, the Duke of St. Pros just said with a blank expression:
"Evan summoned the lord's coalition forces to encircle Colin Angelet with my approval."
"You allowed it?" Marquis Vincent trembled inwardly.
"Yes." The Duke of St. Pros continued, "After I guessed Colin Angelet's plan, I immediately sent a letter to Tinder City, asking Evan and Earl Bruckan to ignore the safety of Bailu City and arrest them. Going to Colin Angle as a top priority."
Marquis Vincent suddenly didn't know what to say.
But then, the Duke of St. Pros said again: "However, judging from the time when the lord's army dispatched troops later, Evan had already asked the lords to cooperate with him in encircling Colin Angelet before receiving my order. gone."
Marquis Vincent looked happy, and immediately said: "Father, I'm right! Evan never considered the safety of Bailu City from the beginning. In his eyes, you are not as good as Colin Angelet important… "
"If he can catch Colin Angelet, I don't actually blame him for his self-assertion."
"What?" Marquis Vincent was stunned for a moment before realizing what the Duke of St. Pross meant. "Could it be that he let Colin Angelet slip away?"
The Duke of St. Pross sneered, and finally showed uncontrollable anger in his tone: "Slip away? Hehe, I just received the news that the Blood Cavalry Army broke out to the south and encountered the Tinder Army. After a big battle... the Tinder Army was completely wiped out !"
"The whole... The whole army was wiped out?!" Marquis Vincent opened his mouth wide in surprise, "The blood cavalry army north of the Althias Mountains is only 3,000 people?"
"That's right." The Duke of St. Pros's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, "Do you know how the Tinder Army was defeated?"
"Isn't it Evan, a guy who doesn't understand military affairs, who is smart enough to command blindly?" Marquis Vincent guessed.
"No. It was his guardian knight, Fletcher, who cut off Earl Bruggen's head!"
"What? Is he crazy?" Marquis Vincent couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Originally, he thought that he would never be able to regain his father's trust, but he didn't expect that his younger brother would come up with such a slapstick operation...
But immediately, Marquis Vincent realized that this must be Colin's arrangement.
Thinking of this, Marquis Vincent couldn't help lowering his head, quietly hiding the glint in his eyes.
"To be honest, I can only think that Evan, or his knights are crazy." The Duke of St. Pros sighed, suddenly feeling tired.
Marquis Vincent immediately said: "Father, don't you understand? Evan may have colluded with the northern border!"
"Collude with the Northern Territory?" The Duke of St. Pros twitched his lips. "His surname is St. Pross! How could he collude with the Northern Territory? What can Colin Angelet promise him?"
"For example, the position of Duke of the East?"
"Hehe, even though you still occupy the position of Marquis of the Eastern Realm, you must know that I have made up my mind to list Evan as the first heir. In the future, the entire Eastern Realm will belong to him. Why would he do anything extra?"
A flash of anger flashed in Marquis Vincent's eyes, but he shook his head and said, "Father, this is a promise you made before the fiasco in Clover City. Maybe Evan knew that he had caused a catastrophe and was worried that you would change his mind again. …”
"Then he won't be so stupid as to destroy the Tinder Army!" The Duke of St. Pros said angrily, "He is already engaged to the daughter of Earl Bruggen, and the Tinder Army is his solid backing. Without the Tinder Army, he even prayed I have no right to forgive!"
Marquis Vincent spread his hands and said, "Father, after all this, you still don't want to believe that Evan has betrayed me, so I can't help it."
The Duke of St. Pros stared at his eldest son for a while, and finally spoke again:
"No, now I really don't trust Evan anymore..."
Marquis Vincent's expression brightened, but immediately, he heard the Duke of St. Pros continue to say coldly: "But I also can't trust you. If it wasn't for Anna who went somewhere, I would have made a new will a long time ago. Make her the number one heir!"
"Father!" Marquis Vincent couldn't help but patted the table, "Why do you still refuse to trust me?"
The Duke of St. Pros looked directly into the eyes of his eldest son, and asked in a deep voice, "Then explain to me why Colin Angelet let you back?"
"Didn't I already tell you? It was you who used half of the Tianma Navy warships to redeem me..."
The Duke of St. Pros interrupted coldly without waiting for the Marquis Vincent to finish speaking: "If you continue to use this kind of lies to try to get away with it, hehe, you will never be able to gain my trust!"
Marquis Vincent's expression froze, but he recovered immediately, and still argued: "But father, this is the truth!"
The Duke of St. Pross sneered: "It's been so long, don't you think I can't find out what happened in Clover City that day?"
"Father, what did you find out?"
"I found out..." The Duke of St. Pross tightly clenched the crystal chess piece in his hand, almost crushing it into powder, "It was you who helped Colin Angelet persuade Earl Hall to suddenly ask St. The attack launched by a series of warships of the Ross family!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the study.
