The news of Arold becoming a vassal of the East Farak Kingdom soon spread to various places through the King's Road, especially in the palaces of the tribal dukes, most of the dukes did not take this seriously, after all, it was normal for a tribe from the frontier to pledge allegiance to the king and seek asylum, and the Baltic Sea coast where Mecklenburg was located was too far away from them, and their interests were not involved.

"The king orders us to hand over a part of the people of the tribe to the Duchy of Mecklenburg?" However, there was one thing that made the dukes slightly dissatisfied in the process of the royal attendants' orders, that is, King Henry ordered the dukes to forcibly relocate the people of their domains to the Duchy of Mecklenburg.

"Yes, His Majesty the King decreed so, this is to ward off the pagans of the East, to defend the Church and to spread the Gospel of the Lord." The royal herald conveyed such an order to the dukes.

"It makes no sense." The Duke of Bavaria said angrily, but King Henry issued it in the form of a royal order, and if he did not obey the king's order, he would be accused of being a traitor, not to mention that this time it was also involved in the church.

"We were careless about the Duke, but we didn't expect the little cub of the Wendell family to become a duke." Beside the Duke of Bavaria, Brother Robert, who had a red birthmark on his face, said gloomily.

"Hmph, even so, what would a wild boy from a poor country dare to do to me?" The Duke of Bavaria sat on his throne, drank a sweet wine, and said disdainfully.

"But don't just let it go, don't forget that his father, Baron Wendell, died in our plans." Brother Robert walked into the Duke and whispered to the Duke.

"Just a baron, what do you want?" The Duke of Bavaria pouted, leaving him with a heavy sense of frustration after the setback of his march into Italy.

In this era, the Duke of Bavaria was already very old. However, his ambitions became more and more intense as he grew older, so he did not hesitate to attack Hugue in Italy, trying to seize a throne for his son, but he went bankrupt.

"Tsk." Brother Robert's brow furrowed, and now Arold had leaned on the king's tree, and had his own territory, the Baltic coast. At the same time, there was Duke Mason as a relative, and Brother Robert's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

"What do you think of?" The Duke of Bavaria looked at Brother Robert and asked curiously.

"Now that the royal family and the Duchy of Mecklenburg are on their side, Arjode's wife, Princess Josie's maiden family, the Duchy of Mason, must be eradicated."

"Why?" The Duke of Bavaria took a sip of wine, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

"If the royal family, Mecklenburg and Mason form an iron triangle, wouldn't the Duke be too dangerous for you? You and your family will lose the throne forever. "Brother Robert was well aware of the weakness of the Duke of Bavaria, and he knew that the Duke was eager to expand his family's power, and to at least raise his son to become a prominent Duke while he was alive.

"Mason? But I'm already planning to take the Duchy of Franconia? "The Duke of Bavaria really regards Brother Robert as his confidant now, and he said to Brother Robert without any scruples.

"Mason has been run by the Herman family for many years, and it is very close to the Duchy of Mecklenburg. Taking the Duchy of Mason will allow us to gain a large amount of land, and at the same time, we will be able to force the surveillance of Arrod. Brother Robert encouraged his incorruptible tongue and persuaded the Duke of Bavaria.

"Whew." The Duke of Bavaria touched his chin with a greedy look in his eyes, and in his hand he happened to have an ancient text brought by Brother Robert, which proved that he was entitled to half of the land of the Duchy of Mason.

"I'm against it." Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside the door, and then a majestic Germanic nobleman walked in, and he said loudly.

"Eberhard, my son." The Duke of Bavaria looked up. The frowning brow loosened, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Lord Eberhard." Brother Robert hurriedly bent down. He bowed to Eberhard, but Eberhard didn't even look at him, and stood in front of the Duke of Bavaria.

"Father." Eberhard bent down, took the Duke of Bavaria's right hand, and kissed the emerald ring on the duke's hand.

"My son, Brother Robert's Tiyì, I think it's appropriate. Don't you want to be Duke Mason? The Duke of Bavaria said kindly to his son.

"It is too despicable to use a fake article to seize someone else's land, and if every nobleman does this, then we will never be at peace." Eberhard said to the Duke of Bavaria in a sonorous voice.

"That's not a fake text, it's a real and valid text." Brother Robert hurriedly explained to Eberhard.

"Trickery. Mean, phew. But Eberhard glared at Brother Robert with contempt, disgusted with the ghost, and thought it was an evil monk whom God had marked on his face.

"Eberhard is mindful of your actions, Brother Robert is a faithful advisor, and we have many things to rely on him." The Duke of Bavaria frowned at his son's actions, and he rebuked Eberhard loudly.

"I~~~." Eberhard was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but the Duke of Bavaria held out his left hand, stopped Eberhard and continued.

"My son, I understand what you mean, since you don't want to, I won't force you, anyway, the Duke of Franconia is seriously ill and will not live long, he has no heirs, you are his distant relative, I will make sure that you legally obtain a duke title, so that you are satisfied?" The Duke of Bavaria said to his son.

"Legitimate inheritance is God's will, and I will submit to this sacred duty." Eberhard said with an obedient bow to his father.

"Yes, that's good." The Duke of Bavaria stood up with a smile, put his hands on his son's shoulders, and hugged him warmly.

"Then father, I still have something to do, so I'll retire first." Eberhard said contentedly after hugging his father.

"Go, go, go hunting and relax." The Duke of Bavaria looked at his energetic son, as if he had seen the prosperity of his family, and said to Eberhard fondly.

"Lord Duke, do you really intend to listen to Lord Eberhard?" Brother Robert said anxiously to the Duke of Bavaria when he saw Eberhard leave like a whirlwind.

"Yes." The Duke of Bavaria still had a smile on his face, and he leaned over to Brother Robert, his eyes full of banter.

"Lord Duke?" Brother Robert asked curiously.

"Eberhard, my son, is a truly good nobleman, but that doesn't give him power. Go, and invite Duke Mason to come to Bavaria to discuss marriage. The Duke of Bavaria said grimly. (To be continued......)
