The reality is so cruel.

When you're strong, everybody will slap you.

When you're weak, it's people who want to eat a piece of meat from you.

Now not only the neighbors of the Kingsley family are ready to move, but even the old politicians of Valesta are sitting on the ground one by one, and the benefits sent by Archduke Buck are receiving, but there are few who really do things.

Archduke Buck had now given up wasting money and energy on them, and was focused on the Princess Regent, knowing that everyone wanted to see the Carthusian Legion shattered so that they could use its corpse to strengthen themselves, but the Lancelot royal family couldn't.

"Are you going to sit idly by like this?" Arnold frowned, "Although the Kingsley family has always been ambitious, it cannot be denied his importance to the Byron Alliance and the Broken Blood Fortress, once the Carthusian military leader falls into violent turmoil, it will have a great impact on our expansion plan, the tiger in the northwest has become more and more powerful in recent years, we can't sit back and watch him unify the entire Odin grassland, in this case, we must not have greater turmoil within us." ”

Sophia spread her hands and said a little helplessly: "I naturally understand this truth, but I can't completely decide this matter, it depends on Baron Sean's meaning, I can only try my best to deal with them, my people have gone to negotiate with them, and before the accurate news comes back, I can only avoid it, because I can't promise anything." ”

"What do you mean by Baron Sean?" Arnold raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile, "On the way to the royal capital, I heard a lot of interesting rumors, and I have a heartfelt word to my uncle, what is the relationship between you?"

"It's just the others, why does Uncle Arnold make fun of this?" Sophilia showed a rare little daughter gesture, after all, she was in front of her own blood relatives, "Don't listen to outsiders, it's just a simple alliance, both sides take what they need, if they can maintain the current momentum of development, it is not impossible to become the ninth Grand Duke's family of the Byron Alliance, it is a new boost for us." ”

"So powerful?" Arnold opened his mouth a little in shock, the news was even more shocking than the ruin of a grand duke's family.

After all, the area of Ashaan is so large, many territories are almost saturated, and the rise of one often represents the decline of another, but the pattern of the alliance of the eight dukes' families has not changed much, and now it is unbelievable that it is going to jump out of the ninth duke's family.

"Although he doesn't have the name of a duke now, he will soon have the reality of a duke, otherwise why do you think I care so much about his attitude?" Sophia said with a flickering of her eyes, "Compared to those duke families that have been corrupted to the bone, this new force has its own uniqueness in many aspects, and Uncle Arnold must meet this young baron when you have time, I believe you can gain a lot of unique things from him." ”

"I must see my niece who makes such an evaluation from the top of my eyes. The smile on Arnold's face grew even stronger, "I'll have to see if this kid is qualified to be worthy of the most delicate rose of our Strachage family." ”

"Uncle Arnold, what are you talking nonsense again? I've told you everything, it's a shadowless thing. ”

"Anything is possible, the most important thing is man-made, you can't go without marrying for the rest of your life, Laurie is about to have a coming-of-age ceremony, it's time to let go of some things and give yourself more time to pursue your own happiness. Arnold said meaningfully, but he was born with a bit of prodigal cynicism, and no matter how serious the topic was, it was always not serious to him.

"Before discussing this issue, Uncle Arnold will take care of himself and solve his own personal problems, and his grandfather will have one less serious heartache. Princess Regent Sophia said angrily.

This uncle is good at everything, just a bit of an eight wife, since she turned sixteen, every time we meet, I will get to the bottom of her life's events, but before you care about others, you first care about yourself.

"It's not possible, if I get married, a lot of people will be sad. Arnold looked solemn, as if to say a truth, "How can you make your uncle give up a forest for the sake of a tree?"

"This kind of crooked reasoning, you should keep it and argue with your grandfather. "Princess Regent Sophilia doesn't want to get entangled with Arnold on this issue at all, and every time she comes up with it, she doesn't have a straight face.

Every time he was forced by Archduke Cedric, he would take a small number of elite horses deep into the Odin steppe to avoid the limelight, and this time he ran to himself, I don't know if it was to avoid the disaster.

"How was the effect of the war beast sent over last time?" said Sophia, changing the subject.

Hearing this question, Arnold was suddenly shocked, and said like a river: "The main ability of the armored war bear is to break the formation and break the armor, which has a miraculous effect against the infantry, and it is a little overstretched against the grassland cavalry, and the effect is not great, but the tiger mount is an out-and-out grassland cavalry nemesis, a tiger roar, let them mess up the formation, it is really easy to use, and they are all about to become fine, the one assigned to me, steal my wine every day." ”

"But for us, the most practical is still the Kolei Beast and the Benlei Horse, the Kolei Beast needless to say, that is, the natural camel beast, with a large load and strong survivability, thrown into the grassland, no one cares, and one by one is fat and strong. ”

"But the most valuable thing is the Thunder Horse, which is a rare good thing, not only has a good physique, strong endurance, speed, and human nature, but most importantly, it does not have the pampered habits of ordinary war horses, and its appetite is better than that of a wild bull, and it can eat anything, if there are two such mares, it can support a ranger to crisscross the grassland for a month or two. ”

At first, Arnold was full of praise, but at the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "But the problem is, the ten thousand miles of thunder horses you sent are all geldings, tell me, who did this lack of morality?"

"Guess. Princess Regent Sophia asked with a wry smile.

I have a deeper understanding of the cautious nature of my ally, even if I think about the gift, I think of all aspects, and even the hidden interests are thought of, which directly blocks the opportunity for them to use them as stallion breeding.

"It can't be your little boyfriend, right?" Arnold asked, a little surprised.

Sophia was a little speechless and said, "Uncle, what do you usually pay attention to? Now that you have heard about those unreliable lace news, you should be clear about the movements made by Baron Sean when he first came to Valesta, could it be that your news is all from those scumbags?"

Arnold's eyes flickered, and he said haha: "Don't care about these details, since these good things are from your little boyfriend, can you get more?" ”

Sophia's suspicion deepened, "Uncle, what are you doing with your official business in the royal capital this time? Wouldn't it be that you caused some trouble over there in the Blood Castle and came here to avoid the disaster?"

"Haha...... My dearest niece, is that what you think of your dearest uncle?I can't come to Valesta without official business?Can't I come to visit my dear niece?Don't you know the virtues in the Blood Castle, what kind of trouble can I cause over there?" Arnold's words flickered, and the righteousness in his words was basically gone, which was his essence.

"Whether it is or not, it won't take two days to know, among the mountain eagles I released just now, three of them flew straight to the Broken Blood Castle, I hope that my grandfather did not give you a bloody pursuit order. Sophia knows her little uncle well, with whom she grew up.

On the battlefield, he is a resourceful commander, an invincible general, and a madman who fights and does not want to die, but in daily life, he is a swinger who can't last three minutes.

At the beginning, he was not less affected by the military law of his grandfather, Archduke Cedric, but he didn't know how many times his ass was pumped, and that kind of temperament still couldn't be corrected.

I don't know who he is like, but Archduke Cedric is a standard unsmiling character, even as his favorite granddaughter Sophilia has seen a smile on his face only a handful of times.

Grandma is a standard aristocratic lady, the kind who does not go out of the door, and has been revolving around her grandfather and her small family all her life.

Arnold's face darkened, and he muttered in a low voice: "Little girl, it's getting worse and worse, don't you feel uneasy about your conscience when you treat your dear uncle like this?"

"Nope. Princess Regent Sophia replied cleanly, she didn't want to carry the black pot in a daze, and then face her grandfather's darker face.

Just when the uncle and nephew's fairly serious conversation was about to turn into a family comedy.

A messenger came in and reported: "Your Highness, Lord Amelia's mountain eagle has been examined correctly. ”

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to fight with her uncle anymore, so she couldn't wait to take a look, the reason why they appeared here was not only because the geographical location was convenient for them to observe Archduke Buck's every move, but also because this was the exclusive location of Princess Regent's Eagle's Nest.

Sophia has been waiting for Amelia's reply, and only when she understands the bottom line of her ally can she formulate a corresponding strategy.

"Good, good, good!" After reading the mountain eagle biography, Sophia smiled and said three good words in a row, and her bright face showed a satisfied smile.

In the biography of the mountain eagle that has just returned, there are not only Amelia's handwritten letters, but also Baron Sean's.

Just as Sean was satisfied with Sophia's reaction, Sophia was also satisfied with Sean's reaction.

This means that it is not that she unilaterally values the alliance between the two sides, but that Sean's side also attaches equal importance to it.

This time, as before, Sean not only weighed the interests of his military leader, but also fully considered the princess regent.

Sean's idea of eating the Kingsley family's expedition to the East is not strong, provided that the Kingsley family can pay a sufficient price.

As long as the benefits can be maximized, the Eternal Night Leader doesn't mind cooperating with Sophia in a show.

With this assurance, she can be bold enough to do it.

"What about General Arnold?" Turning her head, Sophilia realized that she had lost her uncle's shadow.

The surrounding guards looked at each other, and knelt down to plead guiltily: "Your Highness, we didn't notice when General Arnold left just now. ”

Before Sophia asked, they thought Arnold had been there.

"What kind of mess did this guy make over there in the Blood Castle? and scared him away with a deception?" Sophia smiled bitterly in her heart, originally she was just scaring Arnold, but now it seems that it is really necessary to ventilate with her grandfather to see how much trouble her precious uncle has caused, and he is scared everywhere?

"Get up, get the word out, all the sentinels keep an eye on General Arnold, but don't disturb him. Sophia ordered.

She didn't worry much about Arnold's safety, the title of the spear of the god of war was not called in vain, he was the sharpest spear in the broken blood horse, since the day he could pick up the sword and ride the war horse, he had already begun to follow the army in and out of the Odin steppe, and now it was as simple as drinking cold boiled water.

One man and two riders, he dared to go deep into the Odin steppe to hunt, of course, he hunted not cattle and sheep, but those Odin warriors.

In Arnold's own words, he is best at two things in his life, the first is to soak women, and the second is to kill people.

Instead of worrying about him dying under someone else's sword, it is better to worry about him dying on the belly of an unknown woman one day.

It is impossible for ordinary people to catch him back, so leave this matter to his grandfather, he has more important things to do.

"Let the chief of the Biluo guard bring His Excellency Grand Duke Buck to the meeting room. Sophia said to the valet beside her.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

The valet galloped all the way to the head of the guard, Biluo and Grand Duke Buck, who were still pestering.

Biluo, who got the new order, showed a smile of understanding, and secretly said in his heart that it was time to come.

The attitude of the chief of the female guard changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and she said with a smile: "Your Excellency, your luck is really good, I just got the news that His Royal Highness has finished his retreat and is on his way back to the palace. ”

"That's for the best. "Grand Duke Barker's expression is still gloomy, and it hasn't changed much.

Although he didn't know the reason for the change in Princess Regent's attitude, one thing was certain, that is, the other party would never be moved by his persistence.

Although Sophia is not very old, she is no less ruthless than his old politician.

He is more confident that the other side has reached an internal agreement.

This was by no means good news for him and the Kingsley family.

To do a play, you have to do a full set.

Although the princess regent never left the palace, her double actually retreated in the convent of the Virgin Mary.

After the stand-in who received the news rushed back to the palace, Sophia bathed and changed her clothes, and Shi Shiran appeared in front of Archduke Buck.

Although Sophia and Sean don't see each other much, there are many similarities between the two of them.

All respect the details and determine success or failure.

Even these small details are as well prepared as possible, so as not to give Grand Duke Buck a chance to grasp the handle.

"If Your Excellency the Grand Duke can inform me in advance, I will let Laurie stay in the palace and wait for your arrival. Sophia apologized sincerely.

Prince Laurie's biological mother is the biological sister of Grand Duke Barker.

Grand Duke Buck snorted and said meaningfully: "Life is originally made up of all kinds of accidents, and we can't predict all kinds of accidents, but I have encountered a lot of accidents in my life recently. ”

Prince Laurie's going out to inspect the territory at such a time is not so much an accident as a man-made arrangement.

In order to prevent Grand Duke Buck from using his nephew to play the emotional card, although the relationship between the two parties is not very close, but the blood relationship is there, Prince Laurie's cultivation is not yet home, once he is dragged into the game, it will have a great impact on Sophie.

Rather than this, it is better to get rid of this unstable factor in the first place.

Sophia didn't seem to hear Archduke Buck's words at all, and nodded approvingly: "Yes, life is indeed full of all kinds of accidents, and the results on the other side of the Swamp of Despair are also surprising, and the reason why Your Excellency the Grand Duke came to know very well is that the reason why I avoided it before was because I had no bottom in my heart and couldn't promise anything, and the result of the meeting would only make both sides ugly." ”

Sophia's evasive explanation pushed away the embarrassment that she had avoided before.
