Chapter 42: Checks and Balances

Johnny, who relied on the protection of Duke Borot, finally couldn't bear it anymore.In Aston City, due to the unexpected escape of the snake 'chicken' beast.Now every household has become panicked.Although this little thing will not take the initiative to attack humans.But in case of bad luck.If they meet on a narrow road.Out of the instinct of self-preservation.The innocent person is still likely to be petrified by the snake 'chicken' beast.

Albert took advantage of this persuasion and said, "Stay in the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood, King Richard, for the sake of strict law, he will definitely come and send someone to arrest you, and nothing will happen to your Jenny, after all, his brother Jacob is such a good young man."

"Duke, you have been good to me, I will always remember it, but you don't have to hide the truth from me, I know that she has been in the palace for the past few days, although there is nothing particularly wrong with her, but I have a vague hunch, the king, he is very likely to have a crush on Jenny, oh, what a beautiful girl she is, everyone who sees her will be involuntarily moved, the king, he uses his power, if he is determined to capture Jenny's heart, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to compete with her, I must take Jeanne away, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life.”

Albert shook his head with a smile and said, "The monarchs of the Hope Kingdom have always married the 'daughters' of the famous 'family'. I, as a foreigner, know this tradition very well.Why do you have to worry about it in such a way.Richard thinks you're a murder suspect.Then he's going to find a way to keep Jenny safe.Of course.I'm telling you this from his point of view.As far as I know.For the past few days.Maria, the Grand Master of the Purple Rose Order, has been acting as a chaperone.I've been chatting with Jenny's sister. If you do something stupid on impulse now, not only will you have no chance of turning over, but you will also implicate Jenny, so that she will not be able to make the right choice, will you want to watch her live in exile like a fugitive with you, will you want your future children to carry a stain of unknown origin. I am here to assure you, even if you are far away from the sea of horrors to any corner of the Bodi continent, the news of Jenny's sister will be delivered to you on time, once the situation is stable, I will return to my hometown after all, and when the time comes, I will escort your Jenny by the way.”

Johnny is reluctant in every way, but now that is the case, I'm afraid there is only one way to go, it's easy to talk about it, it's easy to put together a 'sex' life to send it, but if he is happy with Jenny, he can only return to the right path.

As it happens, several merchants sent by the Antonio family in Solo City have also contacted the dwarf who has made contacts.Johnny set off with them while there is chaos in Aston City.The last thing he said to Albert when he parted was: "Duke, I will not forget your kindness, I hope you and Jacob will take care of Jenny."

Seeing that the nail had finally been 'gotten' away, the advisor Tarun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At last, there is no major mistake.

"Counselor, should we try to lean on Bojiao as much as possible? King Richard relies on them very much, and the people of Hope are also very devout to God.

Tarun waved his hand for the two 'squires' to withdraw, and then lowered his voice, "You finally thought of the erudition, but the reality now is exactly the opposite of what is 'exposed' on the surface. Richard was once praised as a star of hope by the people on the Bodie continent who did not know the truth, but as far as I can now observe firsthand, he was just as good as Emperor Diliot at holding a banner to suppress dissentAnd he didn't care about the country or the throne, he could have held us firmly in his hands, but now the opportunity has been lost, and the future of Hope Island is not up to us, but it is basically our participation."

"Strategist, but you still haven't explained why you can't get close to Bojiao now." Albert could understand the fur, but could not decipher the texture.

"In the tournament, the reason why the Knights of the Purple Rose lost face and dignity was basically because of the efforts of the Liberal Sect. Pontifical Dammasus, Cardinal Benedict and Valentine were all idle people. Taron looked at the map of Hope Island on Albert's desk, wondering what was going on.

"At that time, my father and Richard fought side by side, and finally recaptured the holy city of Roma, and the whole Holy See also migrated due to the emperor's invisible 'force', and came to Hope Island with the young king. Although Valentine often did things out of the ordinary, his courage was admired by anyone, and if Richard really had a grudge against them, wouldn't that give us the best opportunity.

"There is absolutely a big difference between the Duke and the Duke when viewed individually and when viewed in a tight organization. Tarun knew a little about cause and effect, and the reason why he dared to say it to his face was to better convince Albert. How did Valentine behave in the Danse Forest.How did he behave after he came to Hope Island.Love is a tool in him.Call and go as soon as he is called.I don't approve of this practice.But there will never be a shortage of people who are good at using this method.Richard and the Pontifical See may be able to do New Year's 'friendship' and sympathy when they are in the holy city of Roma.Unfortunately, as the saying goes.This time and that time are also.People will change with the changes in the external environment.Not to mention being in a high position, A young and promising king who always wants to show his ambition with a heavy army in his hands."

"The military advisor means that Richard's strength is stronger than that of Bojiao, and we can only follow him." Albert suddenly remembered what Catherine had said to him the previous night: The Duchess, who had just become a mother, felt that her child should return to the mainland, and that this little island was both a material cage and a spiritual shackle.

Tarun replied with a smile: "None of us need to help.Just sit on the Diaoyu Tai.Just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.The more fierce they are.The better it will be for us.Duke If you rush to take sides now, you will immediately lose potential allies on the other side.And the confrontation between Richard and Bojiao.It's almost impossible to see who can win and who will lose.As the saying goes.Gun shoots the first bird.We just annoyed Richard about Johnny.It's time to 'provoke' him again. When the time comes, these two parties will naturally send the 'door' to us to help us, and when the time comes, we will have the initiative in hand, and we will be able to judge the situation and make a choice according to the actual situation."

Albert hesitated for a moment, and then said with a hint of his heart: "Benedict can be said to be my second father, and Valentine and I have become very good friends, correcting many of my misunderstandings about magic. Both of them are Bojiao, I can only help Bojiao, and it is absolutely impossible to hurt Bojiao, because then it would be tantamount to breaking with them."

Tarun knew the Duke's thoughts, and he also understood the feelings of Mrs. Charlotte. The strong dragon can't fight the snake of the land.Richard is also the well-known king of Hope Island.If he loses.We may only need a little effort to balance the situation.And if Bojiao is at a disadvantage.Then our side may have to use all our strength to save it.On the premise of ensuring the interests of the Duchy of Borot, we can help both.Or even defeat both.But Boism is always our first choice.After all, King Richard can call the wind and rain here.If we want to sit firmly in the VIP seat, we can't let him stay on the throne too safely.”

As the two of them talked, they didn't realize that it was the middle of the night, and one of Mrs. Charlotte's 'maids' stood outside the 'door' and said, "Your Excellency, it's getting late, so let's rest early."

"The old lady is in a hurry." Tarun took the opportunity to change the subject and teased. George, he can't see his own father's face all day."

Albert also smiled happily.Humane happiness is the best antidote in the world.

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