Chapter 255: Persuasion and Inducement

Listening to Ophelina's words, Cecil's face changed, Lord Count belongs to Prince Rex's faction, because of his special relationship with Duke Fatam, Count Cassikud's position is almost impossible to choose, Duke Fatam is the teacher of the eldest prince, he himself is too deeply bound with Prince Rex, and it is almost impossible to choose a camp, so he can only go all the way to the dark, if Rex fails to compete for the throne, Duke Fatam will almost undoubtedly get a very tragic end.

"What are you talking all this for?" Cecil said.

"It's not that my father hasn't considered changing the court, but my eldest brother is already the successor of Duke Fatam's family, so it's basically difficult for our family to jump into the other party's camp, and even if we skip it, we won't be taken seriously at all, but Cecil, you are different, you and my father are just subordinate to each other, and there are no deep bonds, if you want to change camps, I think there are many dukes and counts in Prince Lucas's camp who are willing to promote you, and it can be said that the money is immeasurable." As she spoke, Ophelina was a little sad.

"What do you mean by that? Let me pick a car? Go to the camp of the second prince? Isn't that a betrayal of your father? Cecil looked at Ophelina strangely, not knowing what she wanted.

"Don't forget, I'm a good sister of Princess Freya of the Temple of Life, and she supports her second brother, so after Prince Lucas succeeds to the throne, if I have merit, my status in the Temple of Life will be improved, and even among the nobles, I can fan my sleeves." Ophelina said proudly. "As for my father, he already thinks that things are a little bad, so not only does he not mind me associating with Princess Freya, but even encourages me, after all, if the eldest prince loses, my father will have to rely on me if he wants to connect with the second prince." As Ophelina spoke, the look on her face became more and more interesting.

"It seems that Count Cassikud is also a very cunning figure, since his eldest son can only follow the eldest prince on the side of Duke Fatam, he will let his daughter buy a lot of money by the side of the second prince, so that no matter who wins, he has people on both sides, and he can also laugh at the situation. In fact, there are many people in history who have such wisdom, but unfortunately few people have such opportunities. The Count is able to do this, and he is not a simple character.

So what to do yourself? Join the second prince? Cecil didn't think about it, although the eldest prince is temporarily weak, but it is not completely without opportunities, and the weaker the eldest prince, the more valuable his refuge may be, the second prince has a big chance of winning, and there are many people who can take refuge, but he will not pay much attention to himself, and his chances of getting ahead by the second prince's side will be much less.

As for what to do if you lose? Cecil didn't think about this problem, he may be sad if he loses, but no matter how sad he is, it is not more difficult for him to break into the abyss alone, if he succeeds in breaking into the abyss alone in ten days, then his relationship with the God of Dawn will naturally go to the next level, so even if the second prince succeeds to the throne, he is not afraid of his too deep harm, if he can escape from the hands of the abyss lord, then how can he still be afraid of a human prince and king? If you die in the abyss ten days later, then you don't need to say anything, everyone is dead, what's the use of saying anything else?

Thinking of this, Cecil smiled and said to Ophelina: "Thank you for your kindness, but in the end, I am your father's subordinate, not your subordinate, your father's position is my position, even if you are his daughter, you can't make me turn my back on him, so if he is on the side of the eldest prince Rex, I will never stand on the side of Prince Lucas and be hostile to him." ”

Ophelina looked at Cecil in disbelief: "I was a little surprised by this choice of Lord Baron, I thought you would join Prince Lucas's team without hesitation, because since I met you, I have always thought that you are a calm and rational person, I didn't expect you to make this choice, it really surprised me." Ophelina looked a little surprised, and it was clear that Cecil's choice was not what he expected.

Cecil looked at Ophelina's surprised look and felt a secret in his heart, but he didn't care too much, and replied to her: "For a lord, calmness and reason are important, but sometimes if you dare to take risks and fight to the death, it is very likely that you will get a huge gain, Prince Rex's strength is indeed weaker, but relatively speaking, if he can win, it is obvious that I will get more, and sometimes, I am willing to gamble." ”

"A bet? I don't know if you have considered the odds of winning, Lord Baron, if you don't have a chance of winning, no matter how much you return, it will be a flash in the pan, and it will not make any sense. Ophelina looked at Cecil with a little discomfort and interrupted him.

"Although the eldest prince has a disadvantage now, he is not necessarily losing, and some things are not until the end, I am afraid that no one will know what the outcome will be. If you have a good chance of winning, many things don't need to fight at all, as long as you take out the strength of the book to compare, the card is smaller than the other party to die? Whether you win or lose, no one can know until the moment you win or lose. Cecil ignored Ophelina's question and continued.

"You might as well listen to the conditions given to you by the second prince first, as long as the second prince can inherit the throne, your title and territory will increase, this condition is difficult to give you even if the eldest prince wins, because what the second prince gives you is a province." Ophelina continued, looking at Cecil in anticipation of his reply.

Cecil's heart jumped when he heard this reward, because this reward is really not small, Ophelina is right, even if Rex succeeds to the throne, this is all he can give himself, Cecil said: "Prince Lucas thinks so highly of me? Because of what? ”

"It was I who recommended you, Prince Lucas didn't know about you at all, the promise was made by Princess Freya, but don't worry, this princess has a very high status in her brother's camp, and what she says, the second prince will definitely obey." Ophelina looked at Cecil triumphantly.

"Then I have to congratulate you, no wonder you took the risk of opposing your father to help Prince Lucas, it turns out that you already have such an important place in Princess Freya's heart, and she can make such a big move to win me over, but unfortunately, your reward is very good, but it is not what I want. No amount of land or title will change my loyalty to Lord Earl, so don't waste your efforts, Cecil said firmly.
