Chapter 139: Targaryen (7)
Because of the family's appeal and psychological closeness, Naina Brando became quite close to the Earl of Targaryen during this time.
Finally, when invited for the second time to visit his residence, Kaki Lord's Fort, the nobleman casually revealed that he had a foothold in all the countries of the continent, and that he hoped to have the same place in the northern countries, and wanted to obtain a fief.
This is the opportunity.
Naina seized on his words and went down the drain, telling the nobleman frankly that the Brandows were engaged in a protracted war with the tyrannical Archduke Lane, and that although victory was now becoming clear, they were unable to drive the Rhine army out of the Kaki lands due to logistical difficulties.
He took out the map and showed it to the Targaryens, the Kaki land in this guy's mouth already occupies half of the entire Rhine country, and everyone knows that there is a lot of tricks in it, but this guy insists that the Brando family is only on the defensive side.
Naina said that if the Count of Targaryen could fund the aid, the Brandans would not forget the friendship of their friends, and if the war was won, he would be asked to sketch the territory on the map at will, and the Count of Brando would promise him.
And yet—
"Oh? It turns out that your Excellency is not the lord of Kaki, and the disposal is in your father's hands? Targaryen seemed to have found the wrong focus, and his undisguised flirtatious words pierced Naina's heart deeply.
The eldest son of the earl was secretly annoyed, he really did not expect the other party to say such a thing, this way of expression, which was neither tactful nor dignified, it was hard to believe that it came from the mouth of a nobleman of noble birth.
But the words were rough, but it was true, and he couldn't refute it.
"It must be those lowly and vulgar foreigners, who have been dealing with them for a long time, and even the noble and elegant human beings will become rude."
Naina cursed in exasperation in her heart, and at the same time showed a smile, and said, "You are right, my father is still strong and quick-witted, and I am a beginner and ignorant, and I still have a lot to learn, so naturally I can't take over Kaki's affairs." ”
There is a thorn in the language, such a remark is actually a satire on the newcomer of Targaryen, who is ignorant of the etiquette of the nobles of the Northland, and his words are sharp.
But as soon as the words came out, Naina regretted it, he was inferior to the other party in terms of status, not to mention that now he has a request for others, how can he speak ill of each other.
"Be sensible, Naina."
He said to himself: "You are now not a condescending nobleman, but a sincere seeker. ”
The eldest son of the Earl knew better than Roy, and he knew that his words might offend the nobleman, but now he was in dire need of help, so Naina waited for the other party's next rebuke, and if he could, he was willing to apologize and repent loudly like a nun.
"For Brando."
Naina reassured himself that if he could get the nobleman's help, he would be punished by nibbling on sawdust-like black bread or even drinking the got-gat broth from flies, and begging for another bowl.
Fortunately, the Earl of Targaryen did not seem to notice the subtext of his words, and did not take his words, but took two steps forward and looked at a mural hanging in the main hall of the castle.
It was three men dressed in typical Northland aristocratic attire, two young men on the left and one on the right, with a middle-aged nobleman with gray hair and high spirits.
He recognized the two young men as Naina and Roy, so that the middle-aged man in the portrait was undoubtedly Count Brando himself.
This was the first time Caesar had seen the supporters behind Roy, staring at each other across time and space, the other party was an iconic Northland aristocrat full of power, with thick eyebrows and a dark beard, and the gray hair cut into a soldier's short hair exuded a strong heroic taste, looking less like a nobleman, but more like a general.
It's just that the countenance of Count Brando looks ordinary, but his eyes and thick eyebrows are full of a gloom that cannot be dissolved, which was vividly copied by the painter, which made Caesar a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Naina walking forward with a solemn expression, Caesar asked knowingly, "Is this the real Lord Kaki?" ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Naina smiled and introduced: "This is my father: Count Brando. ”
"He has been stationed at the border for the Rhine all his life and has never left the fiefdom for half a step, but for the sake of ambition and greed, the Grand Duke of Lane has wantonly spread rumors and waged wars whether it is right or wrong, intending to recover the fief that the Brando family has entrenched thousands of years ago, and in order to survive, we have to rise up and resist."
"I take your word for it, Your Excellency."
Caesar nodded solemnly after hearing this, and the ridicule and ridicule in his words were feared that only the gods could understand: "Please believe me, I want to help my friends in danger from the bottom of my heart, but ......"
"But?"
"But I would like to go and visit Count Brando, and we can meet and talk. You know, it's not that I don't distrust you, but only by meeting the lord can I understand the situation and provide full assistance to the Brando, right? ”
"It's-"
Naina did not immediately agree to Targaryen's request.
It may seem like an understatement and a reasonable proposal, but in reality it is not the case at all, as Branda is in open war with Ryan, and as Commander Kaki, Count Brandor and Roy must watch out for countless intrigues and traps for all possible assassinations and raids.
Their whereabouts must not be easily revealed.
Back then, the Green Dragon's assassination of the Northland Alliance Legion Commander was a lesson from the past, and no one knows about it so far, and this matter was planned by the Brande family, and they are naturally more impressed than others, and they are extremely vigilant against this.
In the current situation, Naina is the one who has been pushed to the forefront, and he is fully responsible for everything that needs to be handled by Brando, while Count Brando and Roy are completely hidden behind the scenes.
"You know, there is a war going on on the front line right now, Count Brando is leading his army to resist the attack from the Rhine, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and I can't put the friends of the Branda family in danger."
Naina bowed her head: "For your safety, please forgive me for not being able to facilitate this meeting." ”
"Really?" Count Targaryen sighed and ended the topic: "I have to say, it's a shame. ”
He saw Naina's eagerness, and also saw Naina's vigilance, at this time, there was no need to press step by step, just stop at the point, too much, too eager may show his feet.
Caesar had prepared well in advance to find out about the current situation of the Brando family. Now, Grand Duke Lane has turned from offensive to defensive, and if it drags on like this, when the reinforcements from other countries of the Northland Alliance arrive, there is no need to take action by himself, and the Blanch family will be destroyed.
Therefore, they now urgently need foreign assistance to clear the Rhine as soon as possible, swallow the entire principality, and stabilize the situation before making peace with other countries.
It's a pity that the green dragon is dead.
The green capital has become a nest of black wings, this thigh is completely gone, and without aid the war is powerless, the Blands are dead.
And the sudden appearance of the Earl of Targaryen at this time will be his last straw, and although the overwhelming pressure will not make them lose their minds, it will also make people willing to take risks.
Caesar only needs to start talking, and in a few days, Naina will probably take the initiative to come to the door and take him to a meeting with Count Brando.
After preparing for so long and for such a little time, Caesar could afford to wait.
