Valentine had been in the hut for so long, that Albert and Hydra and the others were too relieved to let go, and they hurried over to find out.

The sight before them surprised everyone and stunned them, and the young cardinal was wrestling with an old woman with a slender figure, who was surrounded by a strange glow of 'bright' red and 'color', as if they had been baptized from head to toe with blood.

I heard Valentine repeat the question, "What do you have to do with the Blind Eye Sect?"

"Young man, you have 'meddling' in too many things, and the blind eye sect will never be used by 'yin' careerists like you for no reason.

"Don't you obey the leadership of the old man in white?"

"I don't know how many pounds and taels he has? The whole blind eye sect is not a word of this old man.The leader of the Purple Rose Knights is so domineering.What reason do we have to keep our voices down and be willing to be lackeys." When the old woman said this, she gasped for breath, and it seemed that the years were not forgiving after all, and Valentine was about to gain the upper hand.

Hydra, the 'woman' owner of Thrushcross Cottage, couldn't hold her breath and asked the butler to find a helper, while Albert saw the situation more clearly, and he said with a comforting 'sex' kiss, "Don't worry, Your Excellency Valentine is about to win the final victory."

Sure enough, the old 'woman' gradually became as expected, and was completely left with the ability to parry, but the young cardinal did not seem to want to take advantage of the victory, and when he was sure that he was sure enough, he took the initiative to stop, and said to the old woman: "The Purple Rose Knights cannot represent the Hope Kingdom, let alone our Liberal Arts. In fact, King Richard took great pains to pull out this thorn from his back in order to find an excuse."

"What do you say?" The old woman finally had the possibility of calming down.

"As the saying goes, the Knights of the Purple Rose are more domineering than these four words, especially under the leadership of Captain Maria, they rely on the various preferential conditions given by the previous king, and they almost surpass Richard, and they '' the whole of Hope Island in the palm of their hands.

"What does that have to do with our blind eye teaching, do you have to pull us out as shields and victims?" The old woman, though a little agitated, dimmed the light of the necklace around her neck, at least in Valentine's eyes.

"It's a bit more complicated, old woman, if you can trust me, please give me some time."

"When you had the upper hand just now, you didn't make any further moves, so I'll give you a few days to put things in order." The old woman picked up the needlework on the floor, and returned to its original state, like a gargoyle statue that could be retracted, but she said something coldly. This murder really has nothing to do with me."

"Now the entire Bodi Continent is threatened by the Mind Flayer, and the creatures you worship in the Blind Eye Cult may be able to save the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

With that, Valentine stretched out his arms as hard as he could, pushing Albert and Hydra out of the house.

When approaching the stables again, the young cardinal said, "We have to go to Aston City right now.

Albert didn't know that the Crimson Rose might have something to do with King Richard, because Hydra had appeared at the wrong time, interrupting the arguments that Valentine and Benedict had envisioned.

Considering that the 'female' owner of Thrushcross Cottage had an unusual relationship with King Hope, this matter must be concealed for the time being.

Newlyweds, the hardest parting, Hydra would rather leave the manor in the hands of the butler than let Valentine out of his sight.

Benedict, who still needed to recover, was left on the manor, while Albert and the couple rode on fast horses towards Aston City.

......

'Flowers' bloom in two, one on each branch.

Besides, Foss, the chief staff officer of the Hope Kingdom, has been fighting with the Duke of Borot's military advisor Talen Crawford for 300 rounds at the welcome banquet.

The more he thought about King Richard's decision to take Albert in, the more inappropriate he felt. This down-and-out duke was a hot potato, and anyone who picked it up would get into trouble.

Although the two parties may be able to achieve remarkable success by joining forces, if the other party takes the opportunity to seek to increase their own power, then Richard's efforts will become a wedding dress for others.

To make these down-of-the-box people to my own use, but not to fatten them up, is a very wise business.

He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and asked to see the king in the middle of the night.

It didn't take long for Richard to come almost barefoot to greet him, and he didn't wait for Foss to speak, but warmly welcomed himself: "The military advisor must have something important to discuss.

"Your Majesty......" Foss was flattered, although the two had already formed a tacit understanding between friends, but the scene was still touching at this moment.

"Do you want tea?" Richard asked anxiously as soon as the two of them had settled down.

Foss shook his head and waved his hand, trying to calm his emotions: "Your Majesty, what kind of man do you think Duke Borot is?"

"Honest and honest, and in some respects he seems to be 'quite old-fashioned', and on the whole, he is a qualified heir to the principality." Richard didn't hesitate, it seemed that he already had some fixed opinions of his own.

"Your Majesty, have you ever considered such a question, Duke Borot will never be willing to live under the people for a long time, his ministers and brave generals are like wolves, we Hope Island Temple is small, I am afraid that we may not be able to cover them in the future......"

Richard didn't immediately say it, he looked at the erudite ornament left by his father hanging on his 'chest', and sighed slightly, and said, "I formed a deep friendship with the old Duke Borot in the fight against the De Setter heretics.

"Your Majesty." Fox leaned forward, looking a little anxious. Not to mention that Albert and you are not related to each other, and in the final analysis, the belief must serve the interests of the country.

Richard was silent for a long time again, and only when the atmosphere became a little awkward did he respond: "Then what do you say I should do? I have no turning back from the bow, and I can't ask Duke Borot to leave.

"Your Majesty, I think you can do this, find a way to make Albert fall into a gentle and rich country, and serve him every day with good wine, good meat, and all kinds of beautiful women, so that there will be estrangement and disagreement between him and his subordinates, so that he will not pose any threat to us."

"Albert has a pregnant wife, and with an experienced mother and military advisor on hand to advise, I'm afraid this plan of yours won't be easy to succeed." Richard hesitated.

"We've come up with a good reason to summon Albert into the palace, to get drunk with 'drugged' wine, and then we'll be able to get on and off his hands conveniently." When Fox said this, his eyes were full of expectation, and he hoped that Richard would approve of it at once.

"How can I do such an unrighteous act?" The young king was completely reluctant to accept it.

"Your Majesty, the specific implementation actions can be 'handed over' to me, and you just need to enjoy the fruits of victory."

Richard waved his hand and said, "Stand down first, let me think it over before making a decision."

Foss knew how to be measured, and at such times, it was not the best choice to 'press' step by step, so he 'withdrew' away with the amusement.

The young king let out a long sigh of relief when he was gone, and he and Albert were about the same age. There are also overlapping personalities. I can't always make up my mind about a thing quickly.

He struggles in the triangle of education, fame, power, and so on, trying to find a solution that everyone is happy with. Unfortunately, things in the world are never so good.

One of the things Richard heard his father say the most when he was a child was, "Power and honor may be equivalent, but in the pursuit of power, honor often has to face the fate of abandonment."

His father didn't go too far in the end, and now Richard himself has to face such a brutal challenge.

No matter where you take a step, it means that your life and your kingdom will go through a major turning point, as the strategist Forss said, once you accidentally 'fatten' Albert. As a result, the Hope Kingdom will no longer have the opportunity or excuse to get involved in continental affairs, at least in his generation, because the Duke of Borot is one of the Electors, and it is in an extremely advantageous position, both de jure and otherwise.

Who doesn't want to dominate the world, as the king of a country, this is almost a matter of course, and less baggage, more chips are always a good thing that cannot be sought.

'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
