Baron Webo-Sacco, who was just entering middle age, did not join the rebels after his father was secretly executed, as many people imagine, but followed Pedy Reagan to put down the rebellions of Bell Caeder and then Bane Lockton. After the end of the rebellion, he did not rely on military merits to ask for a higher position, but decisively withdrew from the national political situation and enjoyed a leisure life in this beautiful manor.

However, there are some things that he can't dodge if he wants to.

In a cramped bedroom on the second floor, Webo Sacco leaned back on the bed and enjoyed the servant's breakfast, he liked to smoke a cigar and drink the porridge, but he was only smoking at the moment, and the porridge in the bowl was untouched.

"Baron Sacco, Hannina has dared to change the laws of the kingdom without permission, you should go to Fort Kaval to meet Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible, take back Hanina's title and remove her from all positions. ”

In this cramped room, five or six nobles gathered around Webo-Seck's bedside, making the already cramped room very crowded.

Today, not destined for a good morning, Webo-Sacco glanced at the crowd at his bedside and forced himself to pick up a spoon and take only two sips of porridge, then "let-click" two sips of cigars.

"Your Excellency, you..."

The nobles who were leaning around the bed wanted to continue their speech, but Webo Sacco deliberately interrupted them by pushing the dishes open on the bed with a loud movement. Then, he shouted very unceremoniously: "Get out of here, a group of big men surrounded my bedside, making me feel sick to my stomach." ”

"Sir..."

"I said, get out of here, let me finish my breakfast first!" Wei Bo pointed to the door, "You are now like 'pariahs' in your mouth, without the reserve and composure of the nobility, keep your composure, don't let me see your ugly side again." ”

For the nobles present, the glory and dignity of the nobility were more important than anything else, although most of them had not yet figured out what the glory and dignity of the nobility really were.

Webpo's words succeeded in causing them to shut up immediately, and they exited the room with obvious apologies.

"A bunch of self-righteous guys!" Webpo muttered, and after making sure that the men had really left the hallway completely, he lifted the covers and walked barefoot on the cold floor, asking his personal valet, "Is Curtis awake?"

"He's just outside the door, Baron. ”

"Then let him in, what's the matter!" Wei Bo was not in a good mood at the moment, so he had little patience.

When the manservant walked over and opened the door, Webo looked at the clothes on the hanger and frowned, and instructed the manservant, "I need a set of aristocratic formal clothes today." ”

The manservant nodded "yes" and opened the door, whispering to a young man waiting outside the door, and when the young man entered the room, the manservant consciously exited the room and closed the door.

"What the hell did Baron Hanina do to make them scream like mad dogs. He lifted the curtains and pushed the windows open, letting the fresh air from outside the house flow into the room with the rotten leaves of the yard, and the familiar smell spread through Webpo's chest, and his bad mood was much better.

Curtis Sacco, a young knight, heir to the title of the Sacco family and the eldest son of Baron de Webo. As the heir to the Sako family, he was supposed to serve in the army like his father until the moment he inherited the title, but when he came of age last year, he was placed in the prime minister's government by Webo as a clerk in a small department.

"This is the content of the announcement posted by the police headquarters in various parts of the city this morning. Curtis walked up to his father and took out a piece of sticky note paper that had been prepared, with a row of fine words written in a way that was pleasant to look at.

Wei Bo took it and glanced at it, "Your handwriting is really getting better and better, and it may not be long before you can be transferred to the King's Office." He just liked to shout so indiscriminately, and immediately after he finished yelling, he smiled at the morning rays of the sun and began to read it.

As Webo read, the smile on his face slowly faded.

"Determined by the royal court..."Curtis looked at his father's careful reading, and said with some eagerness: "Of the nobles arrested by the police department for 'conspiracy' some time ago, more than half of them were stripped of their noble titles, one-third were exiled, and the lightest ones were required to pay a fine of five kilograms. ”

"Well... Is there any news from Fort Kawal?" the surprise on Webo's face was only a fleeting moment.

"There was no news coming out of the castle. ”

"Not the slightest bit of news?"

"Yes!"

Wei Bo showed a surprised expression, frowning as he looked at the more and more carriages gathered in the courtyard.

Curtis next to him was not as calm as his father, and he said with some eagerness: "If we don't find a way to stop it, Baron Hannina will settle this matter, and even Her Majesty the Queen will not be able to change the situation at that time." ”

"I've told you many times that you have to try to keep a cool head when you encounter something. Wei Bo was very dissatisfied with the current behavior of his eldest son, "I have already experienced several wars when I was your age, and I will not panic like you are now... Seeing the way you look, I even wonder if it was the right thing to do to send you to the Prime Minister's government. ”

"I'm not afraid of the battlefield either!" Curtis heard his father's words, his neck red and he wanted to argue.

"Don't argue with me about these useless things, the men of the Sacco family don't do things with one mouth. Wei Bo pointed to the note in his hand, "You have been in the Foreign Propaganda Department of the Prime Minister's Government for nearly a year, and you should be familiar with the new laws enacted by His Majesty, what is wrong with this announcement?"

"From the law of the kingdom, there is nothing illegal in the contents of this proclamation. Curtis was prepared, "or... The sentencing scheme in this announcement can hardly find any legal rebuttal points. ”

"Then what are they doing together? Do you want to oppose the laws of the kingdom?" Wei Bo exclaimed with a frown, looking at his eldest son up and down, "What are you doing behind their ass? Do you want to charge for those bastards?"

"Father, 'conspiracy' is just a statement from the police department, and we can use evidence to prove that these people are not collusion, but normal party interactions. ”

"Come on, I don't know what they're doing together?"

Curtis was excited at the moment, "But as long as Her Majesty the Queen believes our evidence, that police station announcement will be waste paper, and then... The prestige of the police department, which has been so hard established, will also be lost!"

"Why is Her Majesty on our side?" questioned Webo.

"We can adduce ample evidence that more than half of the nobles of Crewe City are on our side, and Her Majesty the Queen has no choice. ”

"That's your plan?" said Webpo, laughing angrily.

"Do you really want to see the police station finished?" Wei Bo immediately turned his head when he heard this, and looked up and down his eldest son with hope very seriously, "The police station is finished, is there any benefit to the Sacco family?"

"Do you know what you're doing?" Wei Bo really wanted to slap his eldest son twice at this time, but he resisted the impulse, "You are doing this is equivalent to persecuting Her Majesty the Queen, that is, persecuting Her Majesty, do you know the consequences of doing it?"

"Father, as soon as the police station is finished, the Council of Nobles will reopen, and with your position in the Council of Nobles, we..."

"You're so stupid that you don't look like my son at all. Curtis crumpled the note in his hand and threw it in the eldest son's face.

"Father, don't you want the name of the Sacco family to echo in the halls of Fort Kaval again?" Curtis blushed, "and now the opportunity is in front of us. ”

"Do you think that people like you and me can do something like this, and even if they can, why should I do it?" Wei Bo's tone slowed slowly, he didn't want to argue with his son early in the morning, "What is Your Majesty doing now?He is working on unifying the Suke Plains, unifying our human world, and he is fighting against the undead legion ahead!"

"Many nobles talk about 'honor' every day, but they forget their oath of allegiance to His Majesty, what qualifications do these people have to proclaim honor?" Wei Bo looked into his son's eyes, "Where did the prosperity of Crewe City come from? Where did our present rich and convenient life come from, and where did the mighty Kingdom of Creuria come from?"

"It all comes from our Majesty, who led the Crewe to become the most brilliant presence on the continent of Alan. Wei Bo grabbed his son's shoulders with both hands, "There are some people who not only do not help His Majesty to complete his cause, but obstruct His Majesty's great cause because of their selfish ideas, and you..." He waited for the eldest son with a close gaze, "Do you want to be one of these people too?"

"I didn't think about it that much..."

"Yes, a lot of people can't think too much because they only see themselves. Wei Bo let go of his eldest son, "In the eyes of many nobles, His Majesty is a tyrant, a dictator... That's because some of His Majesty's decisions have hurt their interests, and they see the privileges that are gradually decreasing in their hands, but they do not see that the kingdom is gradually becoming stronger under His Majesty's series of decisions. ”

"Just like the current city of Crewe, they don't see the true meaning of the war ahead of their majesty, they just desperately want to reclaim their privileges, even if they destroy the war to unify the Suk Plains in the process. Webo leaned against the window and tightened his sleepy neckline, "You want to be one of these people too, to be the oath breaker you spit on before?"

"Father, I am not a greedy person. Curtis hurriedly said, "It's just—" He wanted to bring up the matter of his grandfather, but the words came to his lips and he swallowed back in his stomach.

Webo had a tired look on his face, he was tired of his stupidity, "I wouldn't work with these oathbreakers, especially if they were doing the wrong thing. ”

"Are you asking me to turn away guests in the hall?"

"If you don't have a pair of Saco skins, I don't even suspect you're my son!" cursed Webpo, "Go to the hall and greet our guests, and don't let them think we're deliberately snubbing them." ”

Curtis was stunned and stayed where he was, already confused by his father's words.

"The nobility of Crewe is a community, and we cannot live independently from this group, but there are many who forget that it is the king who we depend on, not what they call the 'council of nobles'. Wei Bo saw the eldest son's doubts, "We can't break away from the 'nobility' group, but we can't go against the king's will... Because our power comes from the king, but we depend on the group of 'nobles' to survive. ”

"But more people think that His Majesty will revoke everyone's titles of nobility in the future, and let his royal power be above everyone. Curtis didn't really understand his father's words, and he said what he was worried about.

"Perhaps, but so what?" said Webpo, shrugging, "What's the difference between us and stripping us of our titles? A lot of people are saying that the age of nobility is over, and I think only the stupidest people would say that... Look at this country, it is still us who are really in charge of the ruling power, in fact, what His Majesty wants is not to take back our power, but to make us change our attitude. ”

"Your grandfather once died tragically in the stinking ditch because he didn't understand this truth. The fear and palpitations in Wei Bo's eyes were evident when he spoke of his father's death, "In less than two years, they have forgotten His Majesty's raised butcher's knife and the blood that was all over the ground under the butcher's knife. ”

"Father, you..."

"Alright, let's go see our guests. "Wei Bo is not going to explain to his eldest son again.

The young Curtis walked out of the room without saying a word, and the older Webo looked at the eldest son's performance at the moment with some disappointment, and when the other party walked to the door, he spoke again: "It was a wrong decision to let you enter the Prime Minister's Government, and it seems that Sir Bipp's Prime Minister will not last long... Within ten days, you resign from the Prime Minister's government and go to the front to report. ”

...

In the living room of the Sacco family's manor house, Webo leaned back on a large sofa with the open smile of his master, and on his left hand side was Merothe-Terretus, an old man who had long since lost his former demeanor at the meeting of the nobles, who had been exiled because of the amnesty issued by the King's Office when El Luk was annexed to the kingdom some time ago.

To the right of Webo is Viscount Weiz Burst, who represents Daisily Pombo.

Wei Bo would never have imagined that the three people who were originally on the same page at the aristocratic meeting would sit at a table and drink tea, and they would have a good conversation.

"Baron Sacco, have you read all the announcements made by the police station this morning?" Weisz-Burst, seeing that the small talk was almost complete, went straight to the point.
