Andy Knight felt his authority was offended.
Of course, to be more precise, it should be the authority of His Majesty Reinhardt.
But in his opinion, since he came to Bailu City with His Majesty Reinhardt's war order, there should be no more internal fighting in any form, but he should immediately start preparing to send troops to support the Western Territory.
However, there were still fighting sounds in Bailu City.
It seems that His Majesty Reinhardt's war order is just a piece of waste paper.
"Your Highness Harrison, it's time for you to stand up and let the people of the Eastern Realm experience the majesty of the royal family! Otherwise, we don't know how this farce will end!"
Knight Andy stood in front of Prince Harrison and encouraged him.
Prince Harrison hesitated, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Cousin Andy, you are the envoy appointed by your father to come to the East. Under the circumstances, shouldn't you show the majesty of the royal family?"
Andy Knight suffocated suddenly.
He actually tried to "show the majesty of the royal family" to the people of the East just now, but unfortunately, the people of the East didn't take him seriously at all. On the surface, they kept saying that they would definitely exercise restraint and would never violate Reinhardt. The emperor's war order provoked disputes again, but in fact, the fight turned around and became fierce again.
So in desperation, Knight Andy came to Prince Harrison for help.
"Your Highness Harrison, after all, I am not a direct descendant of the San Lorenzo family, and those hateful people from the East do not take me seriously.
But you are different!
You are the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, the first heir to the imperial throne.
As long as you show up, the people of the East will not dare to mess around again! "
Seeing that Prince Harrison was still hesitating, Knight Andy said again: "Your Highness, don't you want to find out the truth about the assassination of your teacher, Count Angelet?"
This time, Prince Harrison finally had some emotion and asked, "Cousin Andy, what do you think I should do?"
Knight Andy finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and at the same time had an understanding of Earl Angelet's position in Prince Harrison's heart.
Therefore, he couldn't help thinking with jealousy and regret that if the Earl Angelet hadn't been assassinated, with Prince Harrison's respect and trust in him, his future would surely be limitless.
Pity.
To get rid of these useless thoughts, Andy Knight quickly suggested:
"Your Highness Harrison, I think the current chaotic situation in Bailu City is due to the lack of a strong leader!
After the death of the Duke of St. Pros, although the Duchess became the hostess of the city on the surface, she obviously couldn't control the scene, and... I'm afraid she had ulterior motives.
After all, the Duchess is the Archbishop of the Eastern Realm, and she is hostile to the royal family. Maybe she is playing tricks secretly, and she wants to deliberately resist His Majesty's war order.
Therefore, we must find a new owner of the East Territory who can replace the Duchess, and use him to stabilize the current situation, integrate the power of the East Territory, and respond to His Majesty's war order. "
Prince Harrison nodded again and again, and asked again: "Then who do you think is more suitable?"
"If Marquis Vincent is safe and sound, he is naturally the first choice, but now he is seriously injured in bed, and I don't know if he can survive...so it can't be him.
As for the other son and daughter of the Duke of St. Pros, they are not in Bailu Castle, so they are not considered.
Among the remaining St. Pros, I think Ivan Knight is the most suitable.
Because he is the younger brother of Consul Imerson, he also has good prestige and contacts in the St. Pross family, and he is old and prudent, and he also has a good impression of the royal family... "
"Wait." Prince Harrison interrupted, "The succession of the Duke of the Eastern Realm is not up to Knight Ivan, right?"
Knight Andy smiled and explained: "Your Highness, we are not helping the Duke of the East to choose an heir, we just need a temporary leader who can stabilize the current situation.
As for the new Duke of the Eastern Territory, hehe, if he wants to be formally conferred by His Majesty, he may have to wait until after the orc invasion is repelled. "
Prince Harrison pondered for a while, finally nodded and said, "Okay, do you know where Knight Ivan is? I want to meet him first."
Knight Andy looked happy, and hurriedly said: "I met him on the road just now, I'll help you take a look."
After speaking, he left in a hurry.
After a while, I saw Knight Andy and Knight Ivan coming hand in hand.
Prince Harrison narrowed his eyes immediately.
Although he is young and immature, he is not stupid after all, and he grew up in the royal family since he was a child. He has seen many politicians with different thoughts, and he has been exposed to many conspiracies around Colin. How could he still not understand at this moment——
Andy Knight and Ivan Knight have long colluded!
Of course, Prince Harrison was not angry.
He remembered that his mother once said—don't expect the people below to have no small thoughts, all you need to do is to use their small thoughts to make them serve your purpose.
"His Royal Highness Prince Harrison! Please allow me to express my sincerest apologies to you on behalf of the St. Pros family! The current situation in Bailu City... hey! It's really too bad!"
"So here we need a strong leader to stand up, stabilize people's hearts, and quell the turmoil!" Prince Harrison straightened his back, imitating his father, and said in a deep voice.
Knight Ivan lifted his spirits, and instantly understood Prince Harrison's meaning, and quickly bowed and said:
"Your Highness, you are so right! If you don't dislike my stupidity, I will do my best to help you stabilize the current situation!"
Prince Harrison didn't nod immediately, but asked, "Knight Ivan, are you sure?"
"Your Highness, I want you to know that among the five commanders of the Pegasus Legion, one is the son-in-law of my brother Imerson Consul, and the other is, um, my useless son." Knight Ivan said with pride Said in a tone of voice, but then immediately showed a humble smile, saying,
"As for the other three commanders, as long as you come forward, Your Highness, I believe you will be able to make them understand that the overall situation is the most important thing!"
Prince Harrison took a deep look at Ivan Knight, then nodded and said:
"Okay, if you can stabilize the situation in Bailu City and help me find the murderer who killed Earl Angelet, I can represent my father and agree that you will be temporarily in charge of the East Territory!"
Knight Ivan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, knelt down on one knee solemnly, and said loudly:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust in me!"
Afterwards, Knight Ivan said immediately: "Your Highness Harrison, our top priority is to control the situation in White Dew Castle first.
The key person among them is Knight Warren, the captain of the Bailu Castle Guards. This person is the guard knight of the Duchess and also a fanatic of the church. I am afraid it will be more troublesome...
I suggest you meet with him first, if this person is stubborn, then we must not be relentless! "
Looking at the murderous Ivan Knight, Prince Harrison's heart shuddered. Only then did he realize that what he was about to participate in was destined to be bloody and bloody, and there was no room for kindness or hesitation.
He took a deep breath, and just as he was about to ask carefully, he saw a guard running over in a panic and reported to Knight Ivan:
"Master Ivan, it's not good! Mrs. Beatrice went crazy and killed the Marquis and Duchess of Vincent!"
Knight Ivan was taken aback for a moment, and then he was not surprised but delighted, and immediately said to Prince Harrison:
"Your Highness, this is a god-sent opportunity!"
Prince Harrison was also trembling all over. After recovering, he immediately said:
"Okay! Then act!"
