Viscount Biraldo, who was in the living room, was already restless at this time, his face full of chagrin.

If the mood when he waited just now was anxious and apprehensive, then now the Viscount's heart is only filled with fear and regret.

Thinking back to his performance just now, Viscount Bilardo really wanted to slap himself in the face.

Too anxious, too breathless!

As soon as the question came out, Viscount Bilardo knew it was going to be bad. Looking at the young man's face named Anthony, and then at the reaction of the guards who looked like idiots, the viscount immediately realized that he was wrong, and probably very wrong.

Anthony is the celebrity in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and if she offends him, the rest of her life will be bad.

Viscount Biraldo is having a hard time right now, and it can even be said that he is facing a major crisis. This is also the fundamental reason why he behaves so impatiently.

The glorious empire is now in turmoil, and the laws and rules are much less binding than usual. If the rival family relies on its own strong strength to do something out of the ordinary, no one may be willing to take action to stop it. Even after the incident, the Grand Duke's Court may not be willing to spend manpower and energy to strictly track it down.

It can be said that the situation faced by Viscount Bilardo is even more severe than that of the glorious empire. He desperately needed to find a strong backer, a thick and powerful thigh.

But the power structure at the top of the Hannover province is basically solid, and no one wants to fight his opponents for him. Besides, all the nobles' minds were on the question of standing between the two empires, who had time to take care of his small viscount family.

Just when he could only close his eyes and wait for death, God finally left him a ray of hope.

Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is here!

This is his best chance and the only turning point for things, and he has to seize it.

When Her Royal Highness the Princess visited the various families, Viscount Biraldo had already expressed his wishes urgently. Princess Arlina gladly accepted his allegiance.

Things are off to a good start, but not enough. The Viscount was well aware that the relationship was not solid.

He had to do something to make Her Highness the Princess see what he was capable of in order to increase his weight in His Highness's heart.

This time he came in a hurry, and Viscount Bilardo brought very important information and had the idea of asking the eldest princess for credit. Unexpectedly, he didn't even see the face of the princess. I was anxious, I couldn't control it for a while, and I lost my temper.

The viscount was indeed closed to the news, and his mind was so focused on the safety of his family that he didn't even know Anthony.

Anyone with a little bit of energy in his eyes knows that Anthony personally came forward to receive him, and he may not be as good as Princess Arlina in terms of specifications, but this is the posture of really talking about things, and it is a manifestation of attention. If Princess Arina comes forward alone, no matter what is discussed, I am afraid that there will not be a definite result in the end. Because she still has to discuss it with Anthony to confirm.

And with Anthony's martial arts cultivation comparable to a golden fighter, his influence may not be worse than that of the eldest princess, and no one will think that he is despised because of this-except for Viscount Bilardo, who is stunned and unclear about the situation.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the Viscount almost jumped up like an electric shock.

The eldest princess of Arlina took the lead, followed by Anthony who was returning and returning on one side, and Caton the other side of the "Azure Sword Master".

Viscount Biraldo put aside other thoughts for the time being, and hurriedly stood up to salute Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

But a deep voice interrupted his movements.

"You're Viscount Bilardo?"

Viscount Bilardo was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted that it was the Caton Sword Saint who was asking, and quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Sword Saint." ”

The "Azure Sword Saint" is a veteran powerhouse who has been an adult for many years, and the viscount is not so closed that he doesn't even know about it.

"Tut~" The Caton Sword Master looked at him carefully from top to bottom, from left to right, with a scrutinizing eye, as if he wanted to find out some secret from him. I nodded as I watched.

"Not bad, not bad."

Viscount Bilardo didn't know why, and he didn't know what the Caton Sword Saint meant by being good, so he could only carefully accompany the smiling face. Anthony smiled helplessly on the side.

Princess Arina took the lead in taking a seat at the round table and waved casually to the Viscount.

"Sit down!"

The voice was cold, completely different from the gentle enthusiasm of the two parties when they met for the first time.

Viscount Bilardo was stunned again.

was interrupted by the Caton Sword Saint like this, and he hadn't even saluted Her Royal Highness the princess!

Anthony sat down beside Arlina and reached out and tapped her hand twice on the back of her hand.

Of course he understands that the girl is angry with herself!

Viscount Biraldo leaned over and sat down slowly, and the corners of his eyes swept the rather intimate movements of the two, as if he understood something, and his heart couldn't help but feel bitter.

Alina calmed down the anger in her heart a little, and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible, "Viscount Biraldo came to visit late at night, and I don't know what happened?" ”

The voice was still flat, but it was a little less cold than it had been before.

Viscount Bilardo didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't go around in circles anymore, and explained his intentions directly to the point.

"Tell Your Highness, I have found out an important piece of news, which is about Your Highness's preparation to send troops to exterminate the bandits in the western mountains and forests. Because the stakes are so important and there are many local forces involved, I don't dare to delay, nor do I dare to reveal it to anyone casually, so I hurried to report to His Highness. ”

This viscount is not really stupid, and his words not only point out the main idea, but also implicitly show his merits, and explain that because of "the stakes are very important and the involvement is wide", he must report to Princess Arlina in person, and he does not look down on Anthony, who received him.

"Oh."

Princess Arina replied in a flat tone, and then said nothing.

Lord Viscount looked at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess with a blank look, not knowing whether to continue. The scene in front of him was completely different from what he expected.

Anthony shook his head helplessly.

Once a woman has a temper, it is really not so easy to completely calm down. Even for an innocent and lovely girl like Yalina, it's the same.

"Can the viscount be more detailed?"

There was no way, Anthony had to take the initiative to pick up the conversation.

Viscount Bilardo's eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Anthony, which could be regarded as repaying his grievances with virtue. Don't hesitate to put everything out at the moment.

"That's right, the so-called tough bandits in the western mountains and forests are actually all fiction, and they are deceptive tricks made up by some nobles with ulterior motives. My family has lived in Hanover for generations, but we have never heard of such a strong bandit. Knowing that Her Royal Highness the princess was going to suppress the bandits, I was puzzled in my heart, and I deliberately paid attention to inquire. Finally, I found out that it was several big families in Hanover who had joined forces, pretending to be bandits with the family's private soldiers, and planned to plot against Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

He is very eloquent and has a talent for being a storyteller. The intrigues and sinister intentions of several major families, and the thrilling experience of his investigation of the news, are vividly displayed in the colorful description.

Anthony was a competent listener and listened attentively throughout the whole process. From time to time, let out a compliment or two, or a just right question, so that he will not be boring to perform a one-man show.

Her Royal Highness the princess held her cheeks in both hands, and her eyes looked straight out of the door, looking like she was too empty. Viscount Bilardo's words showed an extremely obvious "I'm not interested" attitude.

Not to mention, the Caton Sword Master even closed his eyes. I don't know if I'm cultivating or dozing off.

In contrast, Anthony's attitude is too commendable.

Viscount Biraldo was ashamed, but also unexpectedly discovered something.

The teenager's questions were not just for fun. Because he asked the point in every question, and even some places that he hadn't noticed before, under his questioning, he suddenly realized that he had overlooked some very important points.

For example, which nobles are involved, the number of troops they dispatch, the composition of the troops, which generals are in command, the generals' abilities, personality traits, and so on.

You must know that the Viscount has put a lot of effort into the news of the investigation in order to invite merit. Not only did he use all the resources and connections he could use to the limit, but he also owed a lot of personal debts. After summing it up, I pondered it for a long time, went through all the information content in my mind countless times, and confirmed that every part and link was clear and clear, and I could answer all questions, and then I set off.

Where did I think that Anthony had only listened to his dictation once, and he had already grasped the context of the whole thing, and even found some important points that he had missed.

With this kind of reaction speed, this ability to summarize, Viscount Bilardo can only sigh to himself, and bow to the wind.

It seems that at the beginning, Anthony came forward to receive him, not because Her Royal Highness the eldest princess put on a show or looked down on herself, but because this young man was solely responsible for this matter.

Let's see, Princess Arlina and Caton Juggernaut are the backdrop for the whole process, and the matter is mainly discussed by Anthony - depending on their attitude towards themselves, they may not be willing to be this setback, I'm afraid it is Anthony's intercession.

I knew this was the case, why did I come here just now! Left and right also negotiated with Anthony, and in addition to this, he also offended everyone in vain.

"Well, we already understand the situation. Is there anything else you would like to add, Lord Viscount? ”

One is prepared, the other is quick-witted, and the conversation is done with great efficiency. Anthony waited for Viscount Bilardo to finish speaking, and finally made a confirmation.

Viscount Biraldo bowed his head and groaned, and after a moment finally shook his head. Everything that needs to be said has been said, and even some side details that I didn't notice were all taken out under Anthony's questioning and reminder. As for the can't answer, there's no way, but there's nothing to add.

"Thank you, Viscount."

Anthony smiled and nodded, picking up the teacup in front of him.

This is the meaning of serving tea to send guests.

Viscount Biraldo was naturally interested, and hurriedly got up to leave. Under Anthony's warm send-off, he walked away with mixed feelings.

As soon as Anthony turned around, he saw that Arina yawned without an image, and her movements were natural and cute.

"Heh~ finally gone."

Anthony sat back at the table and shook his head helplessly.

"Anyway, people are enthusiastic."

Yalina has a lively personality and a very gentle temper, and rarely gets angry with anyone, let alone when talking about business. He deliberately gave Viscount Bilardo such a look on his face, just because he felt very resentful that the other party despised him. Anthony knew the girl's mind very well, and there was a slight touch in his heart.

The Azure Sword Saint also interjected: "He didn't know about our plan, otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to report the news with such great interest." But not only did you kid listen to his nonsense all night, but he was still so cooperative, and it was difficult for you to have this patience. ”

Anthony laughed: "How can it be said to be nonsense, the same thing, from different angles, you can always see a little different." Wouldn't it be nice if we could pick up the gaps and make the plan even better. ”

The Azure Sword Saint waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I won't tell you, you are always justified anyway." ”

Arlina snickered as she ate.
