In the Garelian Fort Lounge, Rien and Olibat sit opposite each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the coffee table between the two men were two special issues, one with a portrait of Lane and a wanted poster, and the other with a statement from Emperor Yukent III.

Li En raised his fingers, picked up the wanted notice printed on dark yellow copperplate cloth paper, and sighed:

"It's only 10 million Mira, do you think Kane is too petty."

"Be content." Olibat dragged the wanted warrant in Lane's hand, "In the more than a thousand years since the establishment of the empire, only four people have a bounty of more than 10 million, and you are the fifth. ”

"I should be honored if you say that, right?" Rien asked with a smile.

"No, you should feel sad, those four people are all the worst criminals, and none of them will end well." Olibart shook his head slowly.

"I#$#!" Li En stood up, "Damn Kane, you actually cursed me in this way, I have to kill you." ”

"Calm, calm." Oliebat waved his hand, "What he issued is not an official bounty, and when the civil war is over, it will naturally be invalid." ”

"No, I'm still upset." Rien slammed the wanted warrant down the coffee table, "I thought about any other way to disgust him." ”

"Don't think about it. No matter what method you use, it will not hurt him more than this statement. Olibart said, gesturing to another special issue on the coffee table.

"Alas~ too." Rien sat back on the couch like a deflated ball.

Oliebat smiled and took the two special issues in his hand together: "My friend, what do you think of this kind of brain, and you can also think of this method?" It's also a shame that my father is willing to cooperate with you. ”

"Because that's the truth."

"What did you say?" This time it was Oliebat's turn to get excited, "The facts? How is this possible? Where did you hear that? Is there any evidence? ”

"Calm, calm." Dawn replied to Olibat in the same way, "Of course it's a fact, it's not a fact, how could Your Majesty agree to sign and seal at the end of this statement?" As for the evidence, how can such a thing leave evidence? ”

"And how do you know?"

"Secret."

"Don't sell it, say it quickly, I promise not to tell others."

"Well, let me tell you, I once saw the future, and the future Kane himself said that he was a 'descendant of the Puppet Emperor', dreaming of the unfinished business of his ancestors."

"Hey, hey, you have to cheat like a little bit."

"Why is it that no one believes me when I tell the truth?"

"It's strange to believe you!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the same time, among the fortresses of Olox.

Helmut Elbare laughed disregarded by the aristocracy.

On his desk were three papers, two of which were special issues that had been sent this morning, and the other of which he had just arranged for someone to send out a letter of interrogation.

"Kane, you have today, too! Hmph, descendants of the puppet emperor, descendant of the puppet emperor, what a descendant of the puppet emperor! ”

"Your Excellency." Arnold, the grand butler standing on the side, spoke, "Is His Excellency Duke Kane really a descendant of the Puppet Emperor?" ”

"Maybe it is, or maybe it isn't, does it matter? The important thing is that His Majesty made such a statement that Kane was, then he was, wasn't he too, understand? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Arnold bowed and said, "So what should we do now?" ”

"The people who contacted us, ready to build momentum for Lufas. Contact the Haines and Rogner families to enlist their support. Contact Lufas and get him ready to take command of the League of Nobles. My El Barea family is the best person to lead the League of Nobles! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. What to do on the regular side, if—" Arnold stopped talking.

"Indeed." "If we can't hold it, the El Bare family, who have lost their territory, will not be qualified to be the commander-in-chief." Send an envoy to the regular army, no matter what the cost, you have to fight for half a month. Although he was unwilling, he could only bow to them at this time. ”

"Your Excellency, Arnold has a suggestion, it's just..."

"What's wrong with you today, half of the words are left for half, let's say it."

"Yes, if you want to buy time, you might as well contact Master Jusis."

"The rebel who disgraced the family? What's the use of contacting him? ”

"Young Master Jusis can't speak, there is a person who can."

"Who?"

"Dawn Schwarzer. Li En's rescue of His Majesty this time has made a great contribution, and his words will definitely work. And Ryne's special trip to Balihat to pick up Young Master Jusis shows that he values Young Master Jusis quite much. If Master Jusis is willing to help us, I think there will be a better chance of success. ”

"Well," Helmut thought for a moment, then nodded, "you have a point, so do it." ”

"Then please write a letter to Master Jusis."

"You—" Helmut raised his hand and immediately put it down, "you, just spoil him." ”

Arnold bowed again, the faithful old butler had been using his own way to resolve the conflict between father and son. He hoped that one day, the relationship between Jussis and Helmut would be as harmonious as that of Lufas.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A similar scene took place in the old capital, Saint-Teach, at the Marquis of Haines.

The Marquis of Haines, the mildest of the four nobles, looked at the photo in the wanted warrant and said, "Is it this young man who took His Majesty away from Duke Kane?" ”

"Yes, father." A young man with a temperament and appearance that is five or six points similar to the Marquis of Haines Ying Dao, he is the eldest son of the Haines family and the first heir of the Marquis family.

Marquis of Haines swept to the name below the photo: "Dawn Schwarzer, the adopted son of the Schwartzer family, if memory serves, he is in the same school as Patrick?" ”

"Yes." The young man smiled, "I heard from Serestan that the third brother has always cared about this. ”

"Hehe, it's normal to care. That kid has been excellent since he was a child, and he hasn't met anyone stronger than him, so he must have been hit. "The Marquis of Haines was not surprised, knowing his son as his father.

"I think so too. For more than ten days, I could hear the news of Li En's activity almost every day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most outstanding talent among the young people. ”

"Like Lufas is the most outstanding of you?" The Marquis of Haines smiled rather than a smile.

"Yes." The young man admitted calmly, "I think the third brother must have encountered the same situation as when I stepped into the social world, no, maybe it is more serious." ”

The world is like this, you are the best in a certain circle, but when you jump out of that circle, you may meet people who are better than you.

Patrick meets Rien, and Patrick's eldest brother meets Lufas, the benchmark of the aristocratic youth.

The difference is that Lufas back then was far less wicked than Lane today. Although Lufas was excellent at that time, he did not exceed the boundaries of age and seniority, and Lane had already crossed this threshold, and no one dared to underestimate this young man under the age of eighteen in the whole of Semria.

"No, he's in a much better situation than you were back then." Marquis of Haines had a different opinion, "The gap is not big, you will be unwilling, you will catch up, and if you can't catch up, you will be hit." If the gap is too big, so big that it makes people desperate, then there will be no comparison at all. Patrick, let's fight with Jusis of the Elbarians. ”

"It's still your father, you can see it thoroughly." The young man was convinced, "So what should we do next?" Will they agree to the request of the El Barea family and help push Lufas to the throne, or will they continue to support Duke Kane, or will they not help each other? ”

"One word - wait. Whether it's Duke Kane who wants to hold his position, Duke Elbarea who wants to take the position of commander-in-chief of the League of Nobles, or Marquis Rogner, who is a little cute, they are all much more anxious than us. The more anxious they are, the less we can rush to see the situation clearly and then make a decision. Our Haynes family has always been the most patient family in "The Four Famous Families", haven't we? ”

"Father was right, but... In the unlikely event that the regular army launches a large-scale counteroffensive ...

"No, it won't." Marquis of Haines, who had been in a comfortable posture all along, shook his head slightly, "The person who persuaded His Majesty to make this statement should know very well that the best thing to do at this time is to stand still and wait for the "Alliance of Nobles" to fall into infighting and chaos on its own. If an all-out counteroffensive is launched at this time, it will only force us in the "League of Nobles" to unite against the regular army. ”

"I see," the young man said, "Father... Do we really do nothing, and watch the advantages that we have accumulated little by little lose little by little? ”

"If I could, of course I would do it, but now it's futile to do anything." Marquis of Haynes sighed, "This is a conspiracy of the regular army, the general trend of the regular army has been established, all we can do is to do our best to preserve ourselves - the era of the nobility is coming to an end." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Compared with the Duke of El Barea and the Marquis of Haines, the face of the Marquis of Rogner is much more ugly.

"Kane, this bastard thing, he dares, he dares to do such a thing!" In a fit of rage, the Marquis of Rogner smashed the coffee table in front of him with a punch.

"Brother, calm down, don't be fooled by the false news released by the enemy." Haider hurriedly grabbed his brother. has been a brother for so many years, and he knows his brother's temper very well, so he rushed from Lulei to "Black Dragon Pass" as soon as he received the news, just because he was afraid that his brother would lose his mind.

"Confused? Will His Majesty's statement in his dual capacity as Emperor and Head of the Arnor Family be false? Or do you think that pure soldiers like Craig and Varta would do things like Kane? The Marquis of Rogner stared at his brother with burning eyes, and the latter's scalp tingled.

Haider stubbornly said: "This is not good, people's hearts are unpredictable, and Your Majesty may also be deceived by traitors, such as Osborne." ”

"You!" Marquis Rogner waved his hand hatefully, "You let me say what you are good about." ”

"Brother, maybe it's a bit of a stretch for me to say this, but I'm also for you and for the good of our Rogner family." Heider argued, "Assuming that everything in the statement is true, what would you do, brother?" ”

"Needless to say, directly lead the army to crusade against the traitor Kane." Marquis Rogner said as a matter of course.

"What about "Black Dragon Pass"? What to do with Luray? What about Nodia? The 'One-Eyed' Third Mecha Division is still eyeing him outside the gate, who are you not going to stop him?" Do I know nothing about military affairs? In front of his brother, Haider was rarely stiff for a while.

"So what do you say? Watching that rebel arrogant? The Marquis of Rogner was still angry.

"Brother, don't rush to conclusions, let's contact Duke Kane first and see how he explains."

"What if he can't explain it?"

"That's easy." Haider smiled slightly, "It's not just your brother who is loyal to Your Majesty, the 'One-Eyed' family who is from the royal family guarding the Fandel family must be very concerned about this matter - we can negotiate terms with him and jointly crusade." ”

"......" Marquis Rogner was silent for a minute, and finally agreed, "Good proposal, just do as you say, and the matter of contacting the imperial capital will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes, brother."

"Also, contact the El Barea family and the Haines family, I need to know their attitudes."

"Yes."

"Heidel... Thanks to you this time. ”

"What do you say, brother, we are brothers."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Only a few hundred minutes away from "Black Dragon Pass", on the bottom floor of "Black Silver Steel Capital" Lulei, in a nondescript house, a group of young people sit around a shabby wooden table.

Sitting on the throne and giving orders is a heroic short-haired woman, who is none other than the eldest lady of the Rogner family who ran away from home not long ago, and the famous Lily sister Angelica Rogner.

"Hmph, Lane and they are really active, thanks to him, we have to hurry up here. Guys, three days, three days later, we'll move. ”

"I don't have a problem with hurrying up, but it won't be too urgent to only have three days." A young man in military uniform said, "After all, it takes time to rally our comrades. ”

"I know, but there's really no time. His Majesty made this statement, and it is very likely that Lieutenant General Sykes will launch an attack, and if he can't 'convince' Dad before the 3rd Mecha Division breaks through the Black Dragon Pass, it will be too late. So, I'm sorry for everything. Angelica bowed her head deeply.

A group of young people all responded with a military salute.

"It's time to sober up my stubborn daddy, in our way."

“yesma\'am!” (To be continued.) )
