Chapter 7: The Aristocrats (I)

“...... You're just guessing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Loren pretended to turn his head: "I'm happy with my life now. ”

"Dear Loren, whatever you may say, don't forget our relationship now. Asriel smiled helplessly, like an old child: "As long as you nod your head slightly, I can help you at any time - knowledge, honor, money, power, ......"

"No matter how difficult it is to realize the wish, no matter how difficult it is to fill the ravine, as long as we join forces, it is not as difficult to realize it as it seems. In a soft and low voice, the pupils of the handsome young man exuded a seductive luster: "If you want not to be imposed by others? ”

"It's complete sophistry. ”

A chuckling Asrael shook his head slightly, and by the time Loren looked back again, he was gone.

Breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the palms that had been sweated. Loren had to admit that he did have a little bit of a heart, but fortunately reason prevailed.

Asrael's offer is tempting, but it certainly comes at a great price. As long as he loosens up a little, he will definitely use various reasons to blackmail.

After "getting along" with this guy for so long, Loren has more or less summed up some rules - no matter when, he must not take the initiative to ask him for anything, but let him help him voluntarily.

It's very difficult to do, but at least it's safe, and you won't have to put your life on the line to kill a vampire because you saved your own life.

Turning away from the stairs, Loren found his room along the cloister of the castle. Even if he doesn't admit it, his body is indeed very tired after a few days of traveling, and he needs a good rest.

When he pushed the door and walked into the room, Loren was very sure that someone behind him was staring at him, so he pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, closed the door and locked it.

............, "Have they all slept?" asked Barry Senna, who was standing behind the foot of the wall, with his old back straight, lowering his voice.

"They're all asleep, Lord Mari. The servant who came over quickly nodded and swore solemnly, "I saw the wizard close the door with my own eyes, and he didn't notice me." ”

"It's better to be like that. Mari glared at him in disbelief, and looked at Loren's door in horror - he didn't expect that the heir of the House of Fried had brought a wizard with him.

Although he despises these eccentric inferior people, he must also admit that this group of guys does have some means, and if he finds out something, it will be difficult to clean up.

The more he thought about it, the more worried the old man snatched the candlestick from the servant and sent him away. He cautiously left the stairs and went to a room below the castle.

In the dimly lit room, only the candles on the table flickered slightly, and several middle-aged people with different faces looked at the door that was pushed open with anxiety, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was the old man who came in.

"Gentlemen, we are in big trouble. ”

Marie Senna, who had entered the house, sighed before sitting down: "This little cub from the Fried family is not a brainless fool at all, but a hungry wolf like his father!"

Several nobles hiding in the shadow of the candle flame were also related, and they all saw the Baron Puck who was dragged out directly at the banquet, and they still can't let go.

Even such a person who has been the military governor for more than ten years is dismissed when he says that he will be dismissed - more importantly, this Baron Puck is one of the most loyal vassals of the Senna family, otherwise how could he climb to the position of military governor?

The people who can sit in this room are all close associates of the Senna family, and once the Senna family completely loses power, their former power and wealth will also disappear.

But the current count was Ruben Fried, and it was needless to think that he would surely use his own cronies, and the traitors who would go out of their way to lick his boots.

"When this young master got the title of earl, we were expecting him to be a gentleman and get rid of him with a little trick, but now it seems that he really wants to be the earl of Shenlimburg. Marie Senna said hatefully: "They must not be allowed to succeed!"

"But he is now an earl, and is he going to rebel?" a somewhat apprehensive fellow asked, "Duke Fried will certainly not spare the man who rebelled against his son, he will hang us all!"

Several people around also nodded yes, making Marie Senna want to strangle these cowards directly, isn't there less time that Shenlimburg has rebelled against the principality?!

However, he also knew that these people had been beaten by the Duke, and he could not disobey the opinion of the majority: "Of course we can't do it in such an obvious way, that would only give the Fleetd family a reason to destroy us." ”

"Whatever means are used, we must act in secrecy - it is impossible for a single county in the Deepwoods to fight against the entire duchy, not to mention that there are so many traitors ready to betray us!"

Speaking of this, even the few people who were still terrified just now showed resentful expressions, and they despised some of the bastards who betrayed the Deep Wood Castle and the Senna family.

Of course, this is also because those nobles have been excluded by them all the year round, and they can only make a living, but the people sitting here will not think of this. Since they are all nobles of the Deep Forest, they should be loyal to the Senna family whenever and wherever they are!

"Why don't we find an opportunity to poison him?" said a man hiding behind the crowd in a gloomy voice, "Find an opportunity to drug his wine glass, or on the dishes, I know that there are a lot of poisons that I can't taste very well." ”

"As long as Levin is dead, the Duke will have no reason to take the Deep Forest Fort - if he is ready to come hard, then the nobles of the entire county will unite around the Senna family to resist, and the other lords will have sympathy for us, even if they don't support us, they won't support the Duke!"

This idea has been endorsed by many people, anyway, there is no need to dirty their hands, and when the time comes, just push a dead ghost out.

"You can't do that!"

Seeing the stupid look of this group of people, the old man Marie Senna almost spit out the wine he had drunk: "You are so naïve, do you really think that the Duke will watch his son being poisoned and give up?!"

"When the time comes, no matter who did it, he will hang the charge on our heads, and he will definitely not stop if he doesn't kill all the nobles of the entire Deep Forest Castle!"

Although the old man said this, the other nobles were obviously not convinced - even if they were really to blame, it was only the Senna family who would suffer, how could they be implicated?

"What's more, there's a wizard by his side!" Marie Senna glared at the guy fiercely, "What kind of poison do you think this wizard will not notice at all?!"

"We must not poison us, or the Duke will slaughter us all!" Marie Senna sighed, he sighed a lot today, "We have to make him give up the title of Count himself, or die in an accident!"

"What does it take to get an earl lord to give up his title?"

"Quite simply, not everyone can be a good earl, especially in Deepwood. Marie Senna smiled meaningfully, "There are so many trivial things here, and there are aristocrats who like to fight, untouchables who make trouble, and elves, ogres, and trolls, and we have a lot of things to do!"

"As long as he can be completely annoyed, he will obediently go back on his own, or leave it to us to manage—and the Deep Wood Castle will be back in the hands of the Senna family!"

"But even so, Levin is still an earl, and as long as the Senna family does not have a suitable heir, Deepwoodburg will still fall into the hands of the Fried family!"

"Who said we don't have a suitable heir?" the old man smiled mysteriously.

"We've got Will Senna - as soon as Ruben Fried dies, he's the rightful heir!"
