Section 81 Betty's strong rise to power in Hwaseong

Just when Mozart stayed in Dragon City to curry favor with Prince Railton and give Carter all his strength, the news that Hwaseong was attacked by bandits, and Betty defended Hwaseong and defeated the thieves to absorb Barugel.

Mozart was stunned by this bombshell news, he didn't expect that the bandits in the territory would be so rampant, and they would dare to take advantage of his absence in the territory to gather people to attack Hwaseong. Fortunately, Betty lived up to her expectations and ushered in comprehensive good news for the Duke's Palace of Hwaseong, which made Mozart smile happily.

In the Duke of Longcheng's Palace, after hearing the news, Mozart couldn't wait to return to the territory to take care of the aftermath, and Thatcher said with a smile: "Lord Duke Mozart, this most dangerous thing has been handled by Betty, and the current Huacheng is no more than before, with Simon from Reesburg and the skilled Baruger assisting Betty." You don't have to worry about anything, why don't you stay for a few more days and discuss the Winter Knight Tournament with His Royal Highness." ”

Of course, Mozart was in a hurry, although Hwaseong was safe at the moment, he always felt that Barougel was born a thief, and he was afraid that Betty would get into his way and cause some trouble.

Mozart said with a smile: "We have more Lord Simon in the Duke's Mansion of Hwaseong, and there is another Baruger, as the master, I should go back to visit them as soon as possible." The matter of this knight competition is all decided by His Royal Highness Prince Railton and Lord Thatcher, and it is the same whether I am here or not, and we in Hwaseong will definitely fully support His Royal Highness's arrangement. ”

Railton smiled slightly after hearing this, and he changed the topic and asked, "By the way, Duke Mozart, I heard that Betty in Huacheng is amazingly beautiful, how old is your precious daughter this year?" ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince showed a strong interest in Betty, Mozart replied confidently: "Oh, we Betty are only eleven years old this year, and we are still young. ”

Eleven years old, this age makes Railton a little shocked, it is such a little girl that makes the entire Knight now focus on the Hwaseong territory. If this were him, Railton really didn't know how to deal with the army of 10,000 bandits, and Railton suddenly felt that he was very useless, not even as good as an eleven-year-old Betty.

Mozart was anxious to return home, and he again pleaded with the prince, saying, "I still have to rush back to take care of it, and when I have arranged all the affairs of the territory, I will come to accompany His Royal Highness the prince and Lord Thatcher." ”

Railton still bowed his head and frowned, he didn't seem to listen to Mozart's words carefully, only Thatcher got up and said: "Okay, there is such a big thing in the territory, I want to go back and take a look." ”

Seeing that the prince still had no reaction, Mozart had to get up and say goodbye, turned around and left the Duke of Dragon City with Charles.

On the way back to the territory, Charles asked very puzzled: "Father, why don't you choose to stay with His Royal Highness the Prince, isn't Betty watching the affairs of the territory, what are you doing in such a hurry to go back?" ”

Mozart said coldly: "Forget it, look at that prince, I am also a duke anyway, and I didn't even say a word when I left, in his eyes, there was only Dragon City and Thatcher, how can we have the location of Huacheng." Instead of serving such a person, I might as well go back and see what is going on, if we follow Betty's approach, if we want to become famous in Hwaseong, we may not have to rely on this Railton who does not understand the world. ”

Charles nodded and said: "That is, my Huacheng is also a big territory, and I want money and people, but I lack a few effective helpers." Now that Lord Simon from Risburg has joined, and that powerful Baruger, we won't be too bad on our own, and we can't afford to whisper to them. ”

Mozart glanced at Charles and coldly reprimanded: "What do you know, of course we have to pay attention to the major affairs of the kingdom, and if we don't take the right step, we will suffer a big loss in the future." That Carter is indeed a character, not only has he got a great character like Arcel, but even Dimiss of Reesburg is loyal to him. These two men are incredible, much more powerful than Simon and Baruger. We don't need to compare with Carter, having Simon is already good for my Duke's Mansion in Hwaseong. We'll have to keep a close relationship with Carter for now, and we'll talk about that later. You should also pay attention in the future, and don't talk about some things casually, understand? ”

"Got it, Father!"

Just as Mozart and his son were returning to their territory, Simon and Baruger also led the knights out of Hwaseong.

The two said goodbye by the river on the west side, Simon said to Baruger: "You stinky boy, you are not from Hwaseong for a long time, what kind of grandson do you say, I am not allowed to duel with you that day, you are clearly bullying Hwaseong There is only one little Betty in Hwaseong, right?" ”

Barugel said disappreciatively: "My purpose is to do everything possible to get some food for my brothers, I know that you Simon is a ruthless character, don't I also want to take the opportunity to reduce some obstacles." Besides, I've been coming to Hwaseong for several years, so there's nothing wrong with saying I'm from Hwaseong. You've just arrived in Hwaseong, and I'm different from you. ”

After hearing this, Simon sneered a few times, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't go around in circles for me." Don't forget your duty now, and don't forget the oath you made that day. If you take the knights and enter the mountains again to become a bandit, I tell you Barugar, and next time I will lead the army to level your bandits' camp. ”

Barugel smiled after hearing this, he stretched out his hand and gestured to the knights, then turned back to Simon and said: "Don't worry, you don't have this opportunity, I, Baruger, am not blowing, I can sweep all the bandits in the territory of Qinghua City in a month, and make Huacheng the only territory on this continent that does not have bandits." ”

Simon sneered after hearing this: "Hehe, let's start blowing it now, let's talk about it when you do things well, how big it is, look at the beauty of you." ”

"Okay, we'll see you in Hwaseong in a month, and see who completes the task assigned by Lord Betty first." After saying that, Barugel spurred his horse and quickly departed with the entire knight in the direction of the south side.

Like Duke Mozart, Simon was still not very comfortable with this Barougel, and he frowned as they departed, and his whole body fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Simon didn't move for a long time, the chief knight rode his horse and approached, and asked Simon, "Lord Simon, you said that this improvised knight order was originally just to deal with those bandit armies, and now you let Barugel, who was born of bandits, take it to exterminate the bandits in the mountains and forests on the south side, is this safe?" Will they be able to handle the bandits? ”

Simon shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, with Baruger's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem." After saying that, Simon gave the order, and the team immediately set off and rushed to the north of the most problematic territory.

When Mozart and Charles rushed back to Huacheng, Simon and Baruger were long gone, which made Mozart pounce.

Soon Betty was summoned into the hall by Mozart, and without saying a word, Mozart immediately asked Betty and said, "Betty, I heard that you have appointed Barugel to lead people to suppress the bandits, is this true or false?" ”

Betty replied respectfully, "Of course it's true, Father." ”

Mozart's face was full of unhappiness, and he immediately complained: "I said what's the matter with you, Betty, why don't you wait for me to come back and discuss such a big matter?" ”

Mozart glanced at Charles angrily, and continued to ask Betty: "You say, Betty, why do you do this, do you think that my father is too incompetent, so you don't need to ask me, just make your own decisions?" ”

Betty bowed her head and replied in a low voice, "No, Father. ”

Annoyed, Mozart got up and walked over to Betty's chair, leaned close to her face and asked, "Then why are you?" How can you hand over so many people to one bandit? ”

Betty slowly raised her head, but there was no trace of fear in her eyes, but she got up and replied sternly: "Father, a character like Baruger, we can't find a second person in Hwaseong with a lamp lit. Now that Baruger has sworn allegiance to our Hwaseong Duke's Mansion, then we have to fully trust him, and I hope you don't call Baruger that way in the future, otherwise it will be difficult for my Hwaseong Duke's Mansion to keep him. ”

Mozart was not an unreasonable person, and although Betty's confrontation surprised him, he felt that Betty also had some truth in what he said. With his hands behind his back, Mozart paced back and forth in the hall, his mind beginning to think.

At this time, Charles opened his mouth and reprimanded Betty on behalf of Mozart: "Betty, why do you talk to your father like this, and are there any rules?" ”

Betty looked sideways at Charles after hearing this, and retorted angrily: "I don't have rules? You, Charles, are twenty years old this year, two years older than Lord Simon. Simon began assisting the Duke of Illit in the administration of Reesburg two years ago, and is now well-known. What about you? After you walk out of our Hwaseong, will anyone know your name? ”

After hearing this, Charles scolded angrily: "Betty, why are you getting bigger and smaller, I'm your eldest brother, do you talk like this?" ”

"Shut up!" , Mozart turned his head and yelled at Charles: "Who made you so rude to your sister?" Say what's wrong with you? Isn't that what you're all about? How much better do you think you're than Salas? Apologize, you apologize to Betty right away! ”

Under Mozart's reprimand, Charles lowered his head, bowed deeply to Betty and said, "I'm sorry sister, big brother is wrong." ”

Betty ignored it, turned around and said to Mozart: "Father, do you know why there are so many bandits in our Hwaseong?" ”

Mozart was stunned when asked, and asked very puzzled: "Why?" ”

Betty replied coldly: "That's because of your connivance with those nobles, so that they made the lives of the people in our territory worse than death, so many of them went to the mountains to become bandits." ”

Unexpectedly, Betty even blamed herself, he turned his head and looked at Betty in surprise, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Betty continued: "Barugel is most familiar with the situation of the bandits, and it is only fitting that he should be put in charge of the bandits, and since you have taken him in, you have to trust him, and there is nothing wrong with it. Lord Simon has already led people down to the towns of the territory, and is responsible for implementing the rules of taxation in the Duke's Palace. If we don't punish these greedy nobles, we won't have a stable life for the people of Hwaseong in the future. ”

Mozart was so shocked that he turned his head to look at Charles, and saw that Charles had his head down and did not respond, so he had to slowly walk back to his seat and sit down.

After thinking for a while, Mozart asked suspiciously: "Betty, aren't you doing this to offend all the nobles in the territory, how will you let your father stand among the nobles in the future?" ”

Betty sneered: "Joke, as a nobleman in my Huacheng territory, I naturally have to obey the control of our Duke's Palace. If all of them are not honest, how can the majesty of the father exist? Doesn't my father understand this? ”

No one has ever dared to reprimand himself like this, but Mozart never showed face in front of his daughter, and only Betty was the only one to be trusted by him. After all, Betty is her dearest person, and no matter what she does, it is all for herself, and Mozart's mind is very clear in this regard.

Seeing that her father was contemplative and did not speak, Betty continued: "Anyway, I have appointed Simon as the highest civil officer of our Huacheng Duke's Palace, and in the future, all the affairs of the territory will be handled according to the rules he has set. I also entrusted all the large and small teams of Hwaseong to Barugel to overtake, and the affairs of city defense and territorial security should also be handled according to his rules. Whether my father agrees or disagrees, the matter is settled, and it is impossible to change it. ”

Mozart looked at Betty in a daze, as if Hwaseong was no longer in charge of his own words, he frowned and asked, "Betty, are you not afraid that our Duke's Mansion will be vacated by the two of them?" ”

Betty smiled slightly, and said with a stern expression: "Anyway, father, don't worry about it, I will take full responsibility for our affairs in Huacheng in the future." I also have a task to ask my father to do, and without further ado, I have to get to work on it right away. ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Mozart became a little energetic, and he asked curiously: "It turns out that your father is not useless to me, let's say, what is the matter?" ”

Betty said righteously: "Even the thieves dare to come and shout at my Huacheng, it is nothing more than seeing that I have no regular knights in Huacheng, and thinking that our Huacheng is the best to bully." If Hwaseong wants to have its own place in Knight, the Knights of the Territory must prepare. We lack nothing, but horses. My father is most familiar with the details of the traders in the territory, and I hope that my father will use the power of the traders to do everything possible to sell horses to the sunny waters of Cologne. The number is not much, 6,000 war horses are enough for our Huacheng territory to become famous. ”

Mozart listened enthusiastically, and for many years he had dreamed of forming his own Knights of the Territory, but unfortunately he had never had a good helper. Now that Betty said this, he thought of the powerful Simon and Baruger, who were just in time to be the leaders of the two major knights.

Mozart immediately patted his thigh and said, "Okay, no problem." My Duke's Mansion of Hwaseong has a lot of financial and material resources, so I am waiting for this day. ”
