Chapter 1815: Chess Pieces
On the other end of the crystal of the call, there was an instant silence.
In the middle of the night, Carter Houghton's cold voice came: "Are you threatening me?" ”
"Hmm," I snorted, "I'm just threatening you." ”
After another moment of silence, Carter Horton said in a deep voice, "Call Carter Nelson here, I'm going to talk to him." ”
"Carter Nelson?" After a moment of confusion, I suddenly said, "Oh, it's your eldest son, I'm sorry, I don't know where he is at the moment, but I'm sure he released the news that he wants to see my fiancée." ”
After a pause, I said: "Actually, if it is not your son who says this, but the children of other royal families and nobles, I probably won't be so troublesome, and directly order someone to tie them up and throw them into the sea to feed the monsters, but after all, we have dealt with each other, I can't bear to see you lose your son when you are old, so I take time out of my busy schedule to make suggestions to you, discipline your son well, don't be overly sloppy all day long, maybe when, they will provoke people who shouldn't be messed with, and at that time, don't say it's you, it's you and Simmons Locke together, I can't save him, and maybe it will bring disaster to your two families. ”
My words are not alarmist.
Don't think that if you are the prince of a country, you can do whatever you want.
He is the king of a kingdom, and when it is time for him to fall, he will not live.
The Fairy Emperor of the year was awesome, ruling the entire Zephyr Continent, and whoever dared to resist the emperor's will would have completely ceased to exist.
However, after the death of Fred Rupert, the next goblin emperor was overthrown by a group of people who rose up, and finally the country was destroyed.
After death, even the whereabouts of the body are unknown.
Therefore, in this world, no one can always do whatever they want, once one day, the person who wiped your ass is gone, wait, you will die a miserable death.
It was because Carter Horton knew this truth that he suppressed his anger as much as possible, and instead of hanging up or scolding me, he asked Carter Nelson to answer the call.
Of course, most of the reason he asked me to call Carter Nelson over to talk was that he thought I had tied up the eldest son of the Carter family.
But this time, he misunderstood me, and I really didn't do it, because I didn't have a reason to do it, so I didn't bother to do it.
Carter Houghton was so silent that I even thought he had hung up at one point.
After a while, I felt a little bored, so I said, "That's all I want to express, that's all, I hope you can do it yourself." ”
Anyway, regardless of the sound coming from the other end of the crystal, he hung up the call directly.
......
......
Carter Horton didn't call again, maybe he didn't have anything to say, or maybe he didn't feel the need to say more.
On the way to farm monsters the next day, Boss Wren's subordinates quietly stuffed a ball of paper into my pocket.
During the lunch break, the paper ball was unfolded, and it was written that the eldest son of the Carter family had been urgently recalled to China, and only the Simmons family sister-in-law and his new wife were left in Moonlight City to continue their honeymoon trip.
After reading it, he tore the note into pieces and scattered it all over the ground, and asked Yura to burn the confetti into ashes with a small fireball, and then smiled slightly and said to himself: "What a father who loves his children." ”
I really didn't expect Carter Horton to really call his eldest son back, you know, the honeymoon trip is a whole month, only enjoyed for more than a week and was forced to recall, this is a great insult and destruction for the two who are enjoying the honeymoon trip, and for Carter Nelson, it is a missed opportunity to meet the most beautiful goddess of the Zephyr Continent.
But for Carter Houghton, it was the only chance to save his eldest son's life.
As Carter Horton expected, I've ordered the layout, ready to let Carter Nelson, and the little widow who married the Simmons family, disappear together.
As for the Simmons family's men and daughters, I decided to protect them and return them safely to Yorkhan.
This is a discord plan, and I even prepared for the anger and blame from Carter Horton, but all of this was forced to abort because of Carter Horton's emergency recall order.
It's a pity.
In the following days, I ordered my subordinates to accompany the newlyweds of the Simmons family as tour guides, around some of the most beautiful attractions in Moonlight City, and won the favor of the two with a respectful tone and a flattering attitude.
I wanted to find out if the Simmons son-in-law had been married in the past, and if the two had ever been in love.
In terms of the pride of the Simmons family, the first marriage partner of his children must also be the first marriage.
Even if it is a political marriage, they will not easily marry a girl who is married for the second time.
If the Simmons family's sister-in-law has ever been married, then that's fine, but if he is the first marriage, but the marriage partner is a second marriage, and he and the marriage partner have never had an affair before marriage, then the meaning of this is somewhat intriguing.
Perhaps, as the Elven Empress said, Simmons Locke is not a person to control, and his ambitions are big.
......
......
Two days later, I received a reply.
The Simmons family was indeed married for the first time, and he and his new wife did not know each other before marriage.
Not only that, but during a drink by the river, he expressed his feelings—he didn't like this mediocre woman who was married for the second time, but his unkind father forced him to do so, otherwise he would be deprived of all his personal possessions and he would not even have money to spend.
Among the royal family, there are many gentlemen, and there are not a few who don't learn all day long, and there are not a few who only know how to be big.
Obviously, this descendant who was forced to marry a woman he didn't like belonged to the latter category.
Once he loses the Simmons family, he is nothing, but lives on the streets, starving to death.
But in most cases, these people don't end up in such a miserable situation, because they have other uses, such as being hostages, such as marriage.
Straight to the point.
Since Simmons Locke is willing to let his son marry a second-married girl who has never met and has a mediocre appearance, he must have made some unknown calculations.
Judging from my understanding of him, this calculation is mostly at the level of stealing the country.
If that's the case, it couldn't be better.
Carter Horton is well versed in intrigue and Simmons Locke is not a guy to mess with, and if the two join forces, they will be the toughest bone to gnaw.
But now, although the two families are allied and married, they only look glorious on the surface, but in fact, secretly, Simmons Locke is ready to sacrifice his son.
...... No, I'm afraid it's not just that, the daughter who was given to the eldest son of the Carter family as his wife is probably also a disposable pawn that he arranged for him to enter Eri City.
