Plop! Plop!
Marquis Vincent's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
For a while, even he himself couldn't tell what kind of mentality he felt when he heard that his aunt was going to kill Colin Angelet.
Beatrice didn't notice the strangeness of Marquis Vincent, and explained to herself:
"Colin Angelet is too dangerous and terrifying. With him, even if the Eastern Territory manages to get rid of the church's control, it can only curl up in his shadow.
Therefore, this person must die!
And once he died, the Blood Cavalry Army would be finished.
As long as you can become the Duke of the Eastern Region, it will not be difficult to persuade Earl Hall to change his mind. As long as the Northern Region cannot cross the River of Nushui, then there is nothing to worry about.
What's more, once Colin Angelet died, the northern border would inevitably fall into turmoil. Even if it didn't fall into turmoil, it would definitely be powerless to get involved in the eastern border.
Marquis Garcia is old, and the Battle of Shadow Canyon has broken his heart, and now he has no ability to rebuild a black cavalry.
In this way, you can calmly reorganize the Eastern Territory and completely wipe out the remnants of the Church.
You also don't have to worry about the Church's interference, because the royal family will not stand by.
The nomination certificate of an Eastern archbishop is enough to convince the royal family of the determination of the St. Pross family to serve. "
Seeing Marquis Vincent struggling, Beatrice mistakenly thought he was still worried about the church's revenge, so she laughed and joked:
"Even if the church wants to take revenge, it will come to me first. I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Marquis Vincent didn't dare to confess his inner struggle to Beatrice, so he put on a worried look and said, "Auntie, are you really not worried about the church's revenge?"
Beatrice smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? The worst is to hide my name and wander the world. Anyway, I have wanted to do this a long time ago. I was stopped by your father before. Now that he is dead, I just happen to be free.
People who don't believe in the church can really hunt me down to the ends of the earth. "
Marquis Vincent was silent.
Beatrice thought he was still worried about herself, so she patted Marquis Vincent's hand with a smile and said:
"Okay, don't put on such a weak look again, I don't want to see the future Duke of the Eastern Region look like this.
What's more, as a knight of the St. Pros family, how could I be afraid of sacrifice
I only hope that my sacrifice is meaningful, so what you should do is to rule the East and make it shine again.
In addition, out of personal selfishness, I also hope that you can take care of the Finn family more, and don't anger them because of Evan's affairs.
And Evan... I really hope you show enough kindness.
You can deprive him of his title, take back his territory, and cut off his support, but at least keep him alive.
Because one day you will find that the only ones who can truly stand up and dedicate everything to protect the Eastern Territory in a critical moment are the members of the St. Pros family.
Just like your father, who doted on Kate so much back then, but when the critical moment came, wouldn't it be up to my sister to stand up and clean up the situation
No matter how good other people are, they may not be reliable, and no matter how bad Evan is, at least his surname is San Pros... "
Listening to his aunt talking about the "funeral affairs", Marquis Vincent suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In a daze, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was formally canonized by his father as the Marquis of the Eastern Realm twenty years ago. That was the first time he felt a heavy responsibility and an unparalleled sense of sacred mission.
"...Vincent St. Pross, today, in the name of the Lord of the East, I canonize you as the Marquis of the East. From then on, you will shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people and vassals of the East, and take this as your Glory, until the day your life ends!"
His father's words that day were firmly engraved in Marquis Vincent's heart, but as time went by, these words seemed to be eroded and obliterated...
Especially after the fiasco in Silvermoon City, Marquis Vincent felt that his status had plummeted, but his younger brother Evan gradually got more attention from his father.
And when he suffered another failure in Silvermoon City and became a prisoner, what his father and younger brother did was Chi Luoli's betrayal!
It was precisely because of this kind of betrayal that Marquis Vincent thrust the dagger into his father's chest without any psychological barriers!
But now, looking at his aunt Beatrice who was sitting next to him with a firm and calm expression, Marquis Vincent suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
The pride of St. Pros, the glory of St. Pros, the perseverance of St. Pros...
Marquis Vincent felt that what he had done was simply desecrating the name St. Pros.
"... I, Vincent St. Pross, swear in this sacred place under the watchful eye of the Supreme Lord. From then on, no matter what kind of dangers I encounter, I will shoulder the responsibility of protecting the East and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the East. Take up the responsibility of protecting the glory of the San Pros family until the end of my life!"
The old oath echoed in his ears, and Marquis Vincent's eyes gradually became firmer.
"Aunt, how do you plan to kill Colin Angelet?"
Of course, Beatrice knew nothing about the psychological changes of Marquis Vincent, so she said immediately after hearing the words:
"As long as I kill Kate, I will naturally be able to gain the trust of Colin Angelet. When the time comes to take advantage of his unpreparedness and assassinate him, I still have great confidence that I will succeed."
Seeing Marquis Vincent frowning, Beatrice mistakenly thought that the other party was worried about the consequences of assassinating an earl, so she spoke again:
"You don't have to worry about the consequences of doing this. Anyway, I already bear the notoriety of killing an Eastern archbishop, so I am naturally not afraid of taking another notoriety of assassinating the count of the empire.
At that time, you can just announce that I will be expelled from the St. Pros family. It is better to be deported from the East Territory again, and I will just start my escape career. "
Looking at the aunt who was pretending to be relaxed, Marquis Vincent felt his throat was blocked, but he still took a deep breath, got rid of these useless hypocrisy, and said in a deep voice:
"Aunt, when you assassinate Colin Angelet, please remember to cut off his head!"
Beatrice smiled slightly, and said: "No problem. I actually like to chop off the enemy's head very much, it's like getting a commemorative medal..."
"Auntie!" Marquis Vincent grabbed Beatrice's hand tightly and repeated solemnly, "Please remember to cut off Colin Angelet's head!"
Only then did Beatrice realize something was wrong, and asked with a frown, "Why do you pay so much attention to Colin Angelet's head?"
Marquis Vincent's face changed for a while, but he did not reveal the deepest secret in his heart after all, but emphasized:
"Auntie, if you believe me, do as I tell you."
Beatrice stared into the eyes of Marquis Vincent, nodded after a while and said:
"good."
