Chapter 308: Civil Strife in the Palace (Part I)
Outside the main hall, Prince Philip was stunned.
It's so adventurous!
The Earl had some audacity in choosing to provoke the other party directly, no wonder Frelia admired him so much...... As one of the retainers left behind in her father's area, Frelia's character has been known to Philip since she was a child.
There are not many people who can make that girl fall in love, and she really has some skills.
"What do you think?" asked Philip as he turned his head to look at Ai Xiu behind him.
"He is indeed a smart person who knows how to provoke the other party in exchange for conditions...... Now the other party has really decreased a lot, but it is a little reckless. In Ai Xiu's opinion, although Sean's approach is slightly capable, it is more like being clever.
Completely ignoring the other party's emotions, a collision of brains, if you meet someone with a slightly worse temper, you will probably be ready to do it on the spot!
"But at least I've gotten some benefit for the Southern Earl, isn't it. Prince Philip said.
"Grandpa, is that Count Vegel very powerful?"
At this time, the five children who were still standing at the feet of the two asked.
Squatted down and looked along the little princess......
"He's a very smart man...... Because he is a smart person, he always does something unexpected. ”
"Then it means that he has made meritorious contributions, and I heard that there is no longer so much money in the south. The little princess was still talking.
"Shh~ You can't talk nonsense about this, do you hear that?"
Prince Philip made a booing gesture before slowly letting him go.
"Hmm~" The little girl nodded vigorously.
"Leonor is so good!"
Pat each other's little heads and let the five children go back first...... After all, the palace hall is not a place for children to play, not to mention that there are so many lords in it today.
However, this matter went so smoothly, which surprised many people, including Philip......
This Count of Vegel does have some abilities, and he underestimated him a little at the beginning.
Philip looked at Ai Xiu beside him, and estimated that the other party should think the same as himself at the moment.
It's just not certain which side this young earl is!
Old aristocrats?
Or the royal family.
........................
Count Vigel has earned the Southern Lords a relief of two million gold coins, which is great news.
It's just that you have to compare yourself with one of the guards sent by the other party...... Compared to the news that can be reduced, it is the most exciting.
Many of the lords began to thank Sean and give him advice on how to compete in the future.
Some people say that they will simply admit defeat if they go up, anyway, it is impossible for them to regret what they promised, and the competition does not mean that they can't admit defeat if they don't say in a duel. Of course, some lords are even more curious, and actually propose to try other projects at that time, such as riding and shooting, target shooting and other projects that will not be injured.
Of course, Sean agreed with a smile one by one, as for the real situation, he can only talk about it then, and it has nothing to do with these gossip earls.
They just need to get a waiver!
Today all the counts were allowed to stay in the palace for a while, but King Simon did not appear at dinner, supposedly to entertain Melsusa and her family...... In place of those who came to attend, only high-ranking people such as the Grand Duke and several ministers attended.
Of course, there was a lot of praise for Sean, but there was not much movement.
After all, Melsusa and the others also live in the palace, so they can't just start celebrating!
A dinner party was held simply under the pretext of receiving the southern lords...... During the banquet, Sean drank several times more, and then left the dinner hall early on the grounds of dizziness.
In the luxurious room of the palace, Sean had just collapsed on the bed when there was an urgent knock at the door.
"Who?"
Before she could respond, Igonia opened the door and came in.
The door of the palace is unlocked, probably to prevent someone from assassinating the royal family, as long as it is not locked, any guard can rush in as soon as possible!
"Why is Nya here? Sean got out of bed.
I'm not drunk, but I'm a little dizzy.
"I begged the mentor to bring me in!Are you stupid~ How can you agree to fight that kind of person, how can you beat others. didn't give Sean time to speak, and directly slashed his head and covered his face, and scolded angrily.
"How do you know I can't beat it. ”
"That's the Sun King's elite troops. ”
Looking at Igonia's blushing face......
I guess I came running.
Sit on the bed and wave to her.
"What?!" pouted and refused to pass.
"Come and sit ......"
"You think she's really going to fight me?" said a slightly drunken look on his face, but his head was clear.
"I've heard that you made that commander angry in the main hall, and then she herself said that she would fight you in a duel, even at the expense of the southern lord...... You're helping the southern part of the empire, but why put yourself in it. "It's fine for anyone to go in, but Igonia is just not happy when she hears it's Sean.
"It's just her going down the stairs I gave her, no problem. ”
In fact, Sean was not sure at the time, although he was able to grasp the changes in everyone's mood, but with the dialogue and exchange, the state of the characters will also change...... Some can be grasped well, but once they touch the other party's red line, it is difficult to take it back.
So every time he talked, Sean subconsciously tried first, and then went deeper and deeper......
The female commander really didn't understand the economy, but she should have the intention to reduce some returns, she saw the situation in the north but the south didn't know. The reason why I started asking for so much was just that I was worried that King Simon would not tell the truth.
And when the Southern Earl appeared collectively, she should have believed in the current situation, otherwise she would not have come over today, you must know that the Southern Earl has been in the imperial capital for several days, and there is no reason why the other party does not know.
In a place like the imperial capital, there may really be no secrets to speak of!
However, the Earl of the South is here, and it is definitely not possible to simply ask her to lower her demand, unless she can be convinced.
And Sean didn't convince the other party, just made the other party angry, and then Mel Susa said those words in this temper, so she should have had the idea of lowering her expectations from the beginning, but no one could touch her point.
In contrast, Sean's vision of being able to see the character's mood changes helped him......
"So the commander already has the idea of asking for less money, so why is he still talking about you? ”
"I'm the one who defeated the Desert Golden Order, and I don't know how the Golden Order angered the people of their country, but she's actually doing it for me, don't you see the ministers who came to compliment me today? At least she made me show my face among so many officials and nobles. ”
“...... After the fight, you just have to release the water. Sean said.
Of course, this is your best plan, if the other party really doesn't like you, and you want to ask someone to beat you, there's no way.
But as long as the opponent is not that woman, Sean feels that he should not lose too badly......
"Is that so?"
Igonia [surprised!] looked at Sean, but she didn't expect that it was just a simple plea, and there were so many plans.
Are these people all conspirators, and they have to calculate so much every step they take!
But......
Afterglow looked at Sean again.
The other party has always been the kind of person who can do everything well in his mind, which is amazing!
Smell~
"Press ~ Sean. You're drinking again!" sniffed a little closer, and immediately pinched his nose.
"How many officials come to drink, how can I not drink a little. Sean said.
That's when ......
Outside the window outside the room.
A few flickering lights lit up the night sky.
"What's that?"
Igonia trotted over to open the window, and heard a guard shouting outside.
"There are assassins, the little prince has been assassinated!!"
