After the explanation, Master Albert took Loren to another palace to receive a formal appointment—although it was only a royal retinue, it was impossible to just hastily do it and have a complete set of rules and ceremonies.

By the time all the process was complete, Loren had returned to the Summer Twilight Courtyard in the early morning of the next day, and the little wizard had been dragged along by Isaac, who was in high spirits, to serve as a temporary mentor at the Royal Wizarding Academy;

Although Isaac's personality has been changing subtly since leaving the Vimpal Academy, the Dragonlord Tower may really be the one that has changed him the most.

If he had been asked to teach a group of "potatoes" in the past, this megalomaniac would definitely scoff at it, and then sarcastically mock the other party in a tone that can drive them crazy and honest, and then tell them very regretfully that with their understanding and intelligence level, it is impossible to understand what they are saying.

Although Isaac still seems to be like this now, and it has become even worse......

As for the little wizard who was originally not interested in becoming a temporary mentor, the only reason she was willing to agree was the advanced alchemy level of the Royal Wizarding Academy, the most cutting-edge research, the best equipment, and the almost endless resources...... What could be more exciting for an alchemist?

Of course, according to Loren's understanding, Ain may have another more important purpose for this trip, that is, to watch Isaac's every move and prevent him from continuing to cause trouble.

The black-haired wizard is pessimistic about this......

"So, from the very beginning, Connad's 'recommendation' was just a cover, in fact, the person who arranged the whole plan from the beginning, and even asked me to go to the Broken Boundary Mountain to die, was actually my eternal bright, great, and correct 'father' His Majesty?"

Brandon, who was holding his head in his hands, curled the corners of his mouth, his bright smile looked inexplicably sarcastic, and his eyes stared at the Heavenly Dome Palace on the Golovin Hill outside the window:

"Uh......h It's really surprising that he can't wait to kill his own son!"

"Perhaps. The tired black-haired wizard leaned back in his chair and lazily picked up the mint tea in his hand: "After all, this is just the words of the Albert master, and it is really difficult to judge whether it is really ...... or not."

"And thanks to your recommendation, I have a deep understanding of what kind of people these 'cabinet ministers' really are!"

Recalling the scene of that moment, whether it was Albert's kindness or Siscott's disdain... It's really hard to believe they're looking at a person, a living person.

"How do you feel? You know, you're probably going to be dealing with these people a lot in the future. Turning his face sideways, Brandon picked up a piece of peach shortbread on his plate and hung it in his mouth:

"It's not a wealthy family that has been entrenched in the imperial capital for hundreds of years and has many strong connections, or a fox with extraordinary ability and cunning... Dealing with them may be even more exciting than your adventure in Niederhogg!"

"Not necessarily, right?" a sly smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Loren's mouth:

"For example, what if we are no longer in the imperial capital?"

"Huh?"

Brandon was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly: "I see... Looks like you've known for a long time. ”

"It should be half of the Golovin nobles who already knew about it. The black-haired wizard couldn't help but roll his eyes and tugged at the corners of his mouth:

"Almost... Tell me who that young lady that day really is, right?"

"My Wizard Advisor, you're in such a hurry!"

For some reason, Brandon's childlike smile became more and more empty in Loren's eyes, and his eyes kept rolling: "Oh yes, speaking of... She's still your relative!"

My relatives?

This time, the stunned person was replaced by a black-haired wizard, and he thought for a second before he reacted: "The Turin family?!"

"Duchess of Byrne, current head of the House of Turin, Countess of the Red Blood Castle, Charlotte Turin. His Royal Highness smiled very happily:

"If you are really Leonardo's grandson, she should be your cousin or cousin according to her seniority... Isn't it exciting to suddenly have a cousin?"

Even if it is, what's your ecstatic expression?

Loren, who really couldn't understand Brandon's weird brain circuit, shrugged his shoulders and resisted the urge to roll his eyes again: "So, she is your marriage partner, the future princess?"

"Hmm... Not necessarily. ”

Brandon shook his head, his expression a little playful: "Indeed... Because of the 'Black Duke' a hundred years ago, not only the Duchy of Byrne, but even the Turin family was also at a low point, and only a fief of the Red Blood Castle remained. ”

"The Duchy of Byrne is now entirely under the authority of the Empire's appointed governor, and is jointly governed by a 'Council of Nobles'... Despite this, although the House of Turin has declined, it still has a certain amount of support and prestige, and there are many voices in the principality that support the return of the House of Turin to power. ”

"Isn't that just right?" Loren cupped his chin and frowned slightly: "As long as you marry this countess and rebuild Byrne with the help of these forces, you can use this countess's title and your heir to rule a principality!"

"It's not that easy to ......"

Spreading his hands helplessly, Brandon breathed a long sigh of relief: "You should still remember how His Majesty Eckhart I's 'Great Conquest' made the Duchy of Byrne bow down, right?"

Loren frowned: "It seems that he helped the Duchy of Boi defend itself against the Centaur invasion, and by the way, let the Duchy of Byrne join the empire?"

"That's right!" Brandon raised his head, his eyes flickering: "Strictly speaking, the empire back then, except for the dragon, did not have the strength to make Byrne willing to bow his head, and the powerful Duchy of Byrne was also one of the strongest in the empire. ”

"Now the decline is only because of the 'black duke' back then, and the dismemberment was only caused by the dismemberment later... Such a proud and powerful principality, even if Charlotte has this will for the unity of the principality, the rest of the counts of the principality will never let an 'outsider' rule them!"

"Not to mention the descendants of the 'Mad Dragon Emperor' who personally banned the title of the principality and made Byrne collapse... From this point of view, they are almost a blood feud with us de Salion. ”

"Coupled with the power of Brother Connord in the Imperial Capital, if they know about this matter, they will definitely try their best to obstruct it... The odds of success are slim to none, and there's a risk of capsizing!"

The black-haired wizard bowed slightly, squinting thoughtfully.

"Still, there is a need to give it a try. Shrugging his shoulders and looking indifferent, Brandon whispered, "The last time you met, the two of us were trying to discuss this... Although she was quite dismissive of me, as if it were a sacrifice to marry me!"

"In the Summer Twilight Courtyard?" Loren raised his eyebrows: "There are eyeliners of the nobles of the imperial capital everywhere here, and once or twice it happens to be reasonable... You'll definitely notice it if you come back again, right?"

"That's right, so we're going to meet Countess Charlotte in the open!"

"Above board?"

A sly smile suddenly appeared on Brandon's face: "Ten days later, the Royal Wizarding Academy will hold a banquet with the purpose of attracting the various guilds and nobles in the various imperial capitals;

"There will definitely be a lot of nobles here at that time, and there are still a lot of guys who want to make friends with wizards, not to mention that they want to show favor to us now, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a few invitations!"

"With the help of the banquet and the Academy, it will not be difficult to negotiate with the countess in private. Loren bowed slightly, feeling that this plan was still a little feasible:

"So... I'll cover for you then, and you're going to discuss your next plan with Countess Charlotte?"

"No, it's the opposite. ”

"Huh?"

"Dear Wizard Advisor, I have already failed once, and I don't intend to be humiliated twice by her. Brandon sighed, but with a completely "gloating" expression, he patted the black-haired wizard on the shoulder:

"So this time I'm covering for you, and then it's up to you to discuss the next plan with your 'dear' cousin, how about it?"
