Chapter 32 Loopholes
In the Outville family, Robert and William were known to not have a good relationship.
The reason is that they are half-brothers, and this relationship is neither close nor far.
Far away, at least farther than brothers. Therefore, William will not be wary of his own brother's descendants, but he will be wary of Robert's possible "snatching power".
In the near future, if William is accidentally killed in the war, Robert, with his demigod status and brotherly blood, is the person with the greatest probability of grabbing his remaining position.
Therefore, William's attitude is also very clear, the foundation I have laid will be left to my children and grandchildren, and you can go to Italy to build more territory yourself.
In the end, Robert only landed in Calabria, and he barely had a foothold.
Of course, Calabria itself is mountainous and the environment is too barren, so Robert needs to continue to expand to the northeast, preferably to the Apulia, and on the other hand, he can only maintain relations with Sicily.
After learning that Robert had his own territory, William's attitude towards him was also slightly softened. After all, both of them were lords at this time, and of course William would not be able to treat him like a messenger called Hanako.
The harmony on the surface did not solve the discord in private. William is jealous of Robert, and Robert has a grudge against William, which is something that everyone does not say, but they both know each other.
The Outville family, obviously with the configuration of two demigods, has the hidden danger of splitting because of this kind of thing, and I have to say that it is also a very troublesome matter.
At this time, Roger's proposal to Sidlifa happened to reveal this untold thing:
He wanted to use his status as William's heir and Sidlifa's status as Robert's daughter to reunite the two demigods of the Outville family by forging this in-law relationship.
People who have figured out the trick of it can't help but admire Roger's gaze. This guy ...... At this time, he did not think about how to seize military power and consolidate his position as an heir, but focused on the long-term demigod connections.
It is conceivable that if Roger inherits the Ottwell family one day, then William is his direct demigod elder and Robert is his father-in-law, which means that the family has two demigods who can be deployed in the true sense.
The Kingdom of Sicily will inevitably be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time...... Such a strategic vision, how long-term!
Robert also figured this out in an instant, and while he was completely impressed by this nephew, his original mind was shaken. If according to Roger, then as long as Sidlifa and Roger have children, it is equivalent to saying that his bloodline will successfully inherit the Ottwell family.
Robert himself, as a demigod, like William, will at some point in the future withdraw from worldly affairs and concentrate on resisting his own tendency to get out of control.
The reason why he wanted to break with William before, in addition to his resentment that the other party initially underestimated him, was also that he thought that as a member of the Ottwell family, he was excluded from the family by William, so he just wanted to take what belonged to him.
At this time, Roger's request just reminded Robert that even if he seized power, he could "evolve peacefully".
There is no need for him to risk his life to fight William to the death to fight for the status and recognition of the Outville family.
Rather, through marriage, one of Robert's descendants will naturally inherit the Ottwell family. Of course, this person is also a descendant of William, so that the bloodlines of the two sides will merge in the future. Anyway, for the demigods, time is not an issue at all.
Good!
Awesome!
Wonderful!
In a hurry, Robert abandoned Medea's plan completely.
"About Sidlifa's marriage." The demigod replied, "I don't really have a problem, after all, you all have the blood of the Outwer family in your veins. ”
"However, you still have to wait for William to come back, after all, he is your real 'father'."
"Of course, uncle." Roger replied.
At the same time, in the inn in Catania, the two girls had completely changed their faces.
Played off.
"This ...... Why did the black swan suddenly come? Medea gritted her silver teeth and gurgled, "Proposal? Robert's scumbag father actually agreed? What the hell is this, a malicious joke of fate? ”
"I really didn't observe this line before." Mi'er said with a solemn expression, "Obviously, this idea was not proposed by Roger after careful consideration, but more likely to come up on a spur of the moment, which happened to poke at the loophole in your plan." ”
The so-called loophole, of course, is that Sidlifa, as a woman, can be "traded" by Robert for marriage.
Medea was half furious when she heard this. If the team loses Sidlifa, it will not only severely damage Asker's trust in her, but also have a serious negative impact on her own future strategy.
Therefore, now is not the time to analyze the causes of the accident, but to quickly decide how to remedy it.
"What's next?" Medea asked in a deep voice.
"When Sidlifa returns, Robert will let her know the news." Mi'er replied quickly, her eyes lit up with the unique symbol of fate, "Demigod William agreed on the spot, but Sidlifa forcefully refused. ”
So Robert restrained him by the law, and then forced him to marry Roger within a few days – of course, if we did nothing. In other words, Robert has completely abandoned his plan to work with us. ”
"That's good." Medea immediately decided, "All plans have been suspended for the time being, if we want to rescue Sidlifa, at what point should we start?" ”
"When they arrive at the port of Palermo." Mi'er replied, "Besides, it's very risky. ”
"How big?" Medea asked.
"On our side, the two demigods of Derek and Shirley can barely contain each other with the two demigods of the Outville family, so that they cannot meddle in the battlefield." Mi'er replied, "The real tricky is the Northern Horn Army, and with hundreds of transcendents besieging us, it's hard for the two of us to rescue Sidlifa intact...... It can even be said that there is a risk of death. ”
"What about the rest of the Azure Sword team?" Medea asked anxiously.
"If you don't count the regiment commander, even if the remaining five people participate in the battle together, the overall risk will not be reduced much." Mi'er said.
"In other words, you have to tell Asker, right?" Medea frowned and pondered, and then sighed for a long time and said slowly:
"So, what about counting the regimental commander?"
"Uh......" Mi'er didn't answer immediately, just quickly flipped through more future lines.
After about two or three minutes, the half-elf girl replied a little speechlessly:
"If the head of the regiment makes a move, then there is basically no risk."
Medea: ..................
"Whew." She sat down on the couch next to her with a sigh of relief, "Then the answer is obvious." ”
"I don't want to admit it, but our plan has completely failed, and now we can only use the last ultimate insurance, Mi'er."
"Alas, yes." Mi'er also sighed for a long time, and her tone was a little sad.
