Arjod's mission in Karlstadt was nearing completion, and the royal family sent new officers and soldiers into Karshstadt to get the conquered city back in motion, and most importantly, the reconquest of the proud city of Charles, which boosted the prestige of the royal family.

However, not everyone was happy about this, and Duke Arnulf of Bavaria was extremely angry, and the royal family would receive a large amount of monetary assistance through the conquest of Karlstadt, which would increase both prestige and finances, and many of the tribal dukes who had been allied with Bavaria had already shown signs of indifference to him.

"I must not let Henry be so proud." Duke Arnulf of Bavaria said angrily.

"But now, we can't stop Henry from giving the inheritance to Prince Otto, conquering Karlstadt, not only to get a lot of money, but also to be crowned in the name of Charlemagne, and the foolish nobles and peasants will think that Prince Otto is the heir to Charlemagne's will." The Duke of Bavaria's son, Duke Eberhard, said that the reason why his son was able to become another duke was also the result of a compromise between the king and the Duke of Bavaria, but it obviously failed to really appease the Duke of Bavaria.

"Hmph, although it can't be as I want, but our family may not be the only one who is worried about this matter." The Duke of Bavaria's anger came and went quickly, and when he smashed one of the glasses, he asked his attendant to bring another new one, filled himself with wine, and sipped the sweet Burgundy wine.

"Although some nobles are very ambitious for power, not all dukes are willing to become kings." The Duke of Eberhard touched the beard of his chin with his hand, and what he said was actually very reasonable, the king of the Germans sounded very beautiful, but the dukes of all tribes were unruly people, and the incompetent king could only sit on the iron throne roasted by the fire every day.

"Other dukes may not want to get the throne, but don't Henry's own sons want to? If, according to Carolingian tradition, he should have divided the kingdom equally among each prince like the great Charlemagne, but he gave the throne to his younger son, could the other princes be reconciled? The Duke of Bavaria smiled and said, reaching out and plucking a few grapes from the plate on the wooden table and putting them in his mouth, chewing the juice.

"That makes sense, what are you going to do, father?" The Duke of Eberhard was also interested, and he leaned forward and asked his father, the cunning Duke of Bavaria.

"I will send someone to find Henry's eldest son and his other children, and tell them that I will support them, and that with my support they will definitely have the intention of fighting for the throne." The Duke of Bavaria said with a smile.

"Henry's eldest son, Wichmann, was a reckless man and did not have much prestige among the nobility." But Duke Eberhard tapped his knuckles on the wooden table and said to the Duke of Bavaria.

"That's right, but Prince Otto's half-brother Donkmaar is a very interesting fellow." The Duke of Bavaria narrowed his eyes and said.

At this time, while the Duke of Bavaria was preparing to carry out a conspiracy behind his back, the unsuspecting Prince Otto was making preparations, because his father Henry the Bird Catcher was in deteriorating health, and Prince Otto had to preempt Henry's death so that the dukes could ensure that they promised to support his inheritance.

"Looks like the royal family has been busy for a while!" Count Ron stood in the courtyard of the castle, and he said to Harvey as he watched the envoys of the various principalities and the envoys sent by the royal family move in and out of the castle like flowing water.

"The king is dying, and Prince Otto must divide the treasure he received from Karsstadt as soon as possible, or the dukes will not be loyal to him." Harvey, as the spy leader of Arrod, certainly has much more comprehensive information than Earl Ron.

"What a mighty king, who is now about to be summoned by the Lord, and I wonder where this dynasty will go when Prince Otto ascends the throne?" Count Ron looked in the direction of the King's Hall, because King Henry was sick and sick, so Prince Otto was almost playing the role of regent.

"I'm not worried about the dukes, for all the chiefs of those tribes want is security and good food and wine." Harvey folded his arms and leaned against a cedar tree in the courtyard.

"Oh?" Count Ron looked at Harvey in confusion, he thought that the matter was over, and when Prince Otto ascended the throne, everything was calm again.

"The other sons of the king have been stripped of their inheritance, and now I am afraid that some people will be angry!" Harvey's rosy lips grinned, and she explained to Earl Ron.

"Deprive others of their inheritance rights? This was not a Carolingian tradition. Count Ron frowned, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

"Yes, but Arold once told me that this is called centralization, and it is said to be a very effective method of governance." Harvey shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Ha, Lord Duke always has some whimsical ideas, otherwise people wouldn't have given him the nickname Zhiduoxing." Count Ron laughed too, but then he looked at Harvey with a strange gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Harvey's brow furrowed, as the spy leader of Arrod, she was doing almost all the dirty work for Arold, Duke of Mecklenburg, assassination, kidnapping, and blackmail, which made most of the nobles of the Duchy of Mecklenburg afraid of her.

"You seem to have gained weight lately?" Count Ron looked Harvey up and down with his eyes and said to her.

"yes, the food here is good, why do you have an opinion?" Harvey lowered his arms and straightened up, looking a little embarrassed, but he still kept his composure and said.

"Ah, no, I think the food is good, too." Count Ron hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"I've got to go, and I've changed my name." Harvey said to Count Ron as he turned to leave the courtyard.

"Change your name?" Count Ron asked in surprise.

Ron also knew that Harvey's name was because when she was the president of the Rogue Guild, she changed her name to such a masculine name in order not to let other men despise her, which also made Harvey's name very famous in the underground world.

"Harvey, Na. Havina, call me by that name in the future. Harvey turned to Earl Ron.

"Havena?" Ron muttered to himself as he listened to the feminine name.

Arold even got Harvey's name change before Ron, because he would receive news from his intelligence network every once in a while, most of which Harvey sent from Quedlinburg, as a duke, Arold wanted to control every move of the royal family, which is why he wanted to keep Harvey in Quedlinburg.

"Prince Otto has been summoning envoys from various principalities frequently lately." Arold sat in the mansion of a nobleman in Karlstatt, which had become his temporary residence, and was guarded by soldiers on three floors on the perimeter of the mansion.

Arold translated the Arabic numerals on the small slip of paper into a pamphlet he carried, looked at the information on it and nodded, but his gaze fell on the end, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Havena, what's going on? Is it because of willfulness? Looking at the translated name, Arold said with a smile.

"Arrod, there is a royal team at the city gate." At this time, Yves strode in, and Arold was sitting in the dark room of this aristocratic mansion, the so-called dark room is a relatively secret house in the house, and the nobles often use this place as a place for some secret meetings or plans, and there are cabinets for storing documents in the dark room of this noble mansion.

"The royal team, oh, must have come to take over the city!" Arold nodded, he already knew about the royal family's decision.

"Yes, it's infuriating." Yves said with some indignation.

"Oh, why?" Arold burned the note from Harvey and asked Iveh.

"This city is obviously fought by our blood and sweat, why should we give it to a stinky boy?" Yves said angrily.

"Milky kid?" Arold was stunned for a moment, although he knew that the royal family would send someone to accept Karstta, but he didn't know who to send?

"You'll find out for yourself." Yves was actually just whining, and he was also aware of Arrod's dealings with the royal family.

When Arold held a banquet at the former mayor's residence in Karlstadt, he met the nobleman who had come to receive Karstadt, a young man who looked to be in his teens, wearing the red robes of a Frankish nobleman with a silver cross pendant around his neck.

"Lord Duke, this is the younger brother of His Royal Highness Prince Otto, little Henry." Beside the little prince stood a fat man with a double chin and a red court priest's soft hat, who introduced Arrode.

"Oh, Your Highness." Arold led his courtiers and generals and hurriedly saluted the royal family.

"Hello Lord Duke of Mecklenburg, I have often heard my brother, His Royal Highness Prince Otto, speak of you as his best friend." Little Henry's complexion was wheat-colored, with some freckles between the bridge of his nose, and he looked like a young man who was constantly exercising, and he was very confident when he spoke.

"It's my pleasure." Arold hurriedly saluted little Henry again.

"These are my courtiers, my court priests, and a few of my friends." Little Henry smiled slightly, and gestured to his side, in addition to the court priest, there were several knights who looked very spirited.
