At the same time, on the 30th night of Gauldos's study of array technology, Gaudus initially mastered the array technology, and in the country of Savoy, a new undercurrent also surged at the same time.

First Viscount's House.

Matthew. Titus was reading, and he was still reading the History of the Empire of Acacia, which he had read at least 10 times, and yesterday, he had received bad news.

Belea, the most beautiful little princess of Savoy, is also reading this book.

It's just a small thing, but Matthew, as a seasoned politician, sees a lot in it.

Reading can make people reasonable, and it was from the book "History of the Empire of Acacia" that Matthew had a preliminary understanding of the cruelty of political struggle. And Belea, she is not only beautiful, but also intelligent, although she is still young, but since she can read this book, it proves ...

It proves that she may learn some power struggles through this book, learn some basic political knowledge, and even further speculate that the reason why she was killed was by no means accidental, but for a reason.

She may even guess that the mastermind behind her murder is Matthew himself.

The beautiful Princess of Savoy was not just a child, she was loved throughout the country. It was not only her beauty that conquered all of Savoy, but more importantly... Almost everyone regards her as their own daughter, sister, and sister.

She can be said to be the relative of almost all Savoys, she is the national princess.

What's even more terrifying is that compared to the two brothers, she and Caesar have a deeper relationship.

The old earl is old, and sooner or later he will die of illness, and when he dies of illness, it is when he stands in line. Everyone, including McGinn, including Belia, had a choice to make.

Is it on your side, or is it on Caesar's side?

McQueen doesn't know, but Belea... Hehe, if she deduces that she is the one behind the murder of her, how can she be on her side?

She will definitely stand on Caesar's side, and with her position in the hearts of the people, with her appeal, once she makes a voice, then there may be more and more people who oppose her in the future.

Not possible, inevitable! Hell, the last volume of the History of the Empire of Acacia describes the destruction of the Empire, and the people who destroy the Empire are the damned opponents and rebels like Hanako!

So even if the old count is dead, how can I still sit on the throne of Count Savoy?

That Matthew... What a rubbish!

Just as he was feeling worried, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

Matthew put down the book, calmed his mind, smiled gracefully, and opened the door.

Outside the door was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, who looked a little scary, but when Matthew saw him, he smiled with satisfaction.

He finally welcomed the return of his chief staff, Adams.

Adams's face was full of wind and frost, his skin was darkened a lot, and it became a lot rougher, the autumn wind was cold, and the weather was getting colder.

"Come, let's have a hot mountain tea." Matthew's smile was as warm as a spring breeze, and he not only helped Adams to his seat, but also poured a cup of hot camellia and served it on the table beside Adams.

Adams looked at the steaming camellia, but he didn't even touch it, but got up, bowed slightly to Matthew, and said, "My earl, this time I went to the Marquis of Duolun, and the mission was not very satisfactory, maybe... It may disappoint you. ”

Listening to this unfavorable news, Matthew still maintained a smile on his face, and he asked, "Why, this trip, nothing was found?" ”

"No, there's still something to gain, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just..."Adams organized his words a little and continued, "You should know that the Princes of Doren are quite divided internally, and their main power is held by three major families, which are... The Medis, Hesse, and Allens. ”

Matthew nodded and said, "I know this, let's talk about the point." ”

"Yes, Lord Count. The point is that in order to gain their support, I negotiated with the patriarchs of these three major families separately, and in addition to ceding the land, they also offered more conditions, and I weighed it again and again, and chose one of them with the lowest and highest asking price..."

Matthew was puzzled: "The lowest asking price and the highest?" What do you mean? ”

Adams took a deep breath and said, "I chose the Medis family, and they gave only one additional condition, and that is... Marriage. ”

"Marriage? Who is the object of the marriage? ”

"It's you, Lord Earl."

Matthew smiled indifferently and said, "Ten years ago, I deposed my wife, just in time for the renewal. Who is the woman? ”

Adams was silent for a long time before he said, "The second daughter of the patriarch... Maria. Medis. ”

When he heard this condition, Matthew's smile instantly froze.

He took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth, and coughed twice until the blood he coughed up soaked the handkerchief, which stopped the terrible cough.

Matthew finally understood why Adams would say that the Medis family's offer was "the lowest and highest asking price".

There are all kinds of men in this world, and there are also all kinds of women, such as Matthew, who can poison his father for power, murder his own sister, such as Joan of Arc, from life to death, a heroic soul all his life, and defend his hometown.

Maria. Edith, too, is a maverick woman.

As the most famous beauty of the Duolun Marquis, she has a well-known name in Duolun, that is, "the most beautiful flower on the Duolun Plain".

She is a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city, whether it is her figure or face, she is the most tempting and bewitching type, and ordinary men, as long as they look at her, they will have a physiological reaction.

Such a beauty, famous, is naturally the goddess of all men's dreams, and indeed, with a cheerful, energetic and strong desire, she has also realized the dreams of many men, and used her body to let them say goodbye to the virgin identity and taste the "taste" of the goddess's ecstasy.

The most beautiful flower on the Duolun Plain is called "Attracting Bees and Butterflies", because its appearance is extremely gorgeous and gorgeous, and exudes a seductive aroma full of temptation, attracting countless bees, butterflies and even flies and moths to come to pick, so it has such a beautiful name as "Attracting Bees and Attracting Butterflies". And Maria is the same, her guests and ministers under the skirt are countless, from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns.

It is precisely because of her characteristic of "attracting bees and butterflies" that she has such a wonderful name: the most beautiful flower in the Duolun Plain.

But today, the flowers are still beautiful, but they are not so fresh anymore.

She is already a 43-year-old lady, has a son and a daughter, and has been divorced seventeen times, sixteen more than Matthew, who abandoned his wife, although the charm still exists, and even more seductive, but the figure is a little fat, the skin begins to sag, and it is no longer the charm and enchantment of youth.

As long as you get married, you can get the support of the Medice family, which is indeed a very light price, but if the object of the marriage is a "bee and butterfly" that can be picked by people, then this price is indeed heavy.

Adams looked at the silent Matthew quietly and sighed, the reason why he dared to agree to such a harsh condition was because he believed that Matthew's desire for the position of earl far exceeded his disgust for Maria.

The taste of power, like a deadly addiction, can never be forgotten once tasted!

Matthew was silent for a long time, and asked with illusions: "What conditions did the other two offer?" ”

Adams replied, "The conditions of the Hesses are... Proton, moreover, must be your eldest son. ”

Proton?

Proton?!

Want to pinn me down with my wonderful son, my future heir to the earl?

Hehe.

Matthew smiled coldly and asked again, "So, what about the conditions of the Allen family?" ”

"The conditions of the Alan family are also marriage, and the object of the marriage is also you, but they demand that after the matter is completed, you... into the redundancy. ”

Money?

Have one's head in the clouds!

Matthew said calmly, "Tell the patriarch of the Medis family that I... Accept... Marriage. ”

When the word acceptance was spoken, he closed his eyes with some pain.

It was a painful decision.

Adams looked at Matthew, who seemed to be 8 years older for a moment, and sighed slightly. He knew that the reason why Matthew closed his eyes was not because he was really tired, but because, he really didn't want to see himself again... A man who indirectly helped him put on a green hat.

He bowed deeply and said, "I'll go to the Medis family to resume my life." ”

After saying that, he didn't dare to stop for a second, and pushed the door out.

Matthew sat quietly for a while, then grabbed the teacup and slammed it on the ground!

"Politics! Politics! Brothers! Brothers! Power! Power! Woman! Woman! ”

When he shouted these words, he laughed hysterically again.

He should have thought that he would be where he is today.

When he was ruthless and abandoned his wife for the sake of power, for the earldom, and for the victory in this life-and-death power struggle, he should have thought that there would be today.
