Chapter 32: Blood and Flowers

There are five major families in Noxus, and they are all deeply rooted in Noxus in the Valoran continent, among which General Burnham, who currently holds the power of Noxus, is the illegitimate son of the Darkwell family, one of the five families.

Bastards are not uncommon in the aristocratic world, and they can be called an ordinary thing. Looking through the history of the ancient family, in fact, many important people in the family and even the family have despicable and indecent births, and finally after becoming famous, they are favored by the family and become the core of Noxian power.

If you ask the Darkwell family, what is the most regrettable voice in the past 100 years? Almost all the members of the Darkwell family will say in unison: The Darkwell family has lost a great member, and the reason for the loss is ridiculous is because of two women.

Recently, Burnham's handing over power to Kiris has caused a sensation in the Darkwell family, and most of them have maintained the usual calm silence of the nobles, but there are always some short-sighted family members who say something that disgraces the family, and once a noble son who belongs to the direct bloodline of the Darkwell family once said: Is this General Burnham old and confused? Didn't he know that he had the blood of the Darkwell family?

The result? Before this sentence spread in the aristocratic world, Kiris brought a group of brave knights to the Darkwell family, and asked for the Darkwell family member who dared to criticize General Burnham, and several heavyweights of the Darkwell family begged to stop it, but Jun was blocked by Qilisi's words: General Burnham has been tolerant enough to your Darkwell family, do you really think that General Burnham will not dare to deal with the Rotonchild family and the Constantine family, Will you be famous from the five major families? Therefore, members of the Darkwell family, I hope that you will cooperate with my actions. ”

The bloody history has forged Burnham's unstoppable and domineering reputation, and the former Rotonchild family and the Constantine family were greatly damaged because of two women. This matter has always been a warning to the aristocratic world: no matter who you offend, you must not anger Burnham, especially Burnham's taboos.

After that, the members of the Darkwell family did not say any pleading words, but unusually cooperated to push the two members who discussed Burnham's rights and wrongs in front of Qilis, and when they left, Qilisi said calmly: I will beg General Burnham to give them a good ending!

On the third day, two members of the Darkwell family who criticized Burnham's decision were brought back to the Darkwell family. But they are only two completed bodies.

In this regard, the Darkwell family did not say anything and silently accepted this punishment.

Chiriss Stuart entered the halls of the aristocratic world in a fierce and blood-stained way, not only in the footsteps of the noble princess in the Darkwell family, but also in the footsteps of the other four imperial princesses: the Bacons, the Constantine, the Rotonchilds, and the Du-Quekao.

In addition to the unclear relationship between the Bacons, Du Quekao, and Kiris Stuart, the Darkwell family has regarded Kiris Stuart as their greatest enemies on the political road, while the Rotonchild and Constantine families can be regarded as allies of Kiris Stuart.

Especially for the family of Constantine, it is hard to imagine that this family of ancient mystical wisdom has a very deep intersection with Chillis Stuart, who has never appeared at a noble banquet. Riven, who was the head of the Constantine family and was the deputy head of a knight order in Noxus, turned out to be one of the few good friends of Princess Kiris.

It's only been three months since Kiris appeared in the Noxus Power Center, but it's just three months. This princess of the Noxian Empire has super luxurious power in her hands, but no one dares to take it lightly.

The current Noxian Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is, the head of the Bacon family, Comodoro, once said in public that the Noxian Empire may be about to usher in an empress.

Commodoro has always been a man of few words, but even General Burnham has shown respect for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who occupies a very heavy weight in the power class of the Noxus Empire, not to mention that apart from Commodoro himself, the Chancellor of the Exchequer stands behind the Bacon, one of the five major families in Noxus and the richest family.

――――

"Your Excellency Svein, in three days it will be the day when General Burnham will announce his succession, and what are you not prepared to do with you, the man with the best hope of obtaining the scepter of General Burnham?" Commodoro, who has always been cautious in public, is a very talkative person in private. Or even some innocuous jokes with other nobles who are equal to themselves.

But on equal footing? In Noxus, there are probably few people who can match the status of this person who controls the finances of the Noxus Empire and is the head of the Bacon family.

"Scepter? Old friend, are you making fun of me? Now everyone in Noxus knows that this scepter and crown can only belong to our great Princess Kiris. And our group of people are nothing more than the flowers and blood of General Burnham on the road to the glory of Princess Kiris, whether as a wise politician or a smart nobleman, he should choose to avoid being someone else's flowers and blood. Staring at Komodoro, Svein smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Kiris? Hehe, I never thought that this canary, fed by General Burnham, could become Burnham's successor. But now I'm so dizzy that I can't read Burnham for the rest of my life. I couldn't understand General Burnham even when he was dying, and this is probably the biggest regret of my life! Comodoro took off his glasses and wiped them gently, sighing.

Commodoro, recognized as the wisest man in Noxus, but he still can't read Burnham!

"No one understands the teacher. No one dares to cross the teacher's forbidden area to explore the teacher's inner world. In the teacher's heart, power and glory are things that can be discarded at will, but what really attracts his attention is something that we can't think of if we want to. ”

"I agree with that!"

Svein and Commodoro, two politicians who have always maintained very different views on politics, have expressed the same views on this regard. In fact, after Svein still said a sentence that was not said, perhaps even if Svein said it, the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer may not be clear or even confused, this sentence is: This is probably why General Burnham attaches so much importance to Augustus, who was born a commoner, because the things they really care about are things that are despised by others.

Long before Chillis and a group of knights broke into the Darkwell family to establish a great reputation in the aristocratic world, Svein had already abandoned the Second Knight of the United Empire and his long-standing friend General Du Kekao to fight for the crown and scepter of the Noxian Emperor.

Few people know what the reason for Svein's real abandonment is, and perhaps only Du Kekao and Darius, who have a very good relationship with Svein, know.

Regardless, Svein has officially launched gladiatorial fighting.

In addition to Svein, how many people in Noxus can compete with Kiris, who is supported by Burnham's general Azon?

Ceris, who has really obtained the two families of Rotonchild and Constantine, is equivalent to having really got the crown of Noxus the Great in his hands.

――――

The Du Quecao family, the study of General Du Quecao.

In the study, there are huge portraits of the ancestors of the Du Qucao family. Someone who has studied the history of the Duquecao family has come up with a very surprising answer, and the famous family leaders of the Dukecao family are all generals who have galloped all their lives, just like Duquecao is now.

Almost all of these huge images have a very obvious sign that they are wearing knightly armor, except for one image that is a noble attire.

Many people have forgotten that Du Kecao, a family of brave and powerful generals who frequently appear, once appeared a politician who caused a sensation on the Valoran continent, and it was precisely because of the appearance of this politician that the powerful Titan Empire that confronted Noxus was not only weakened, but finally completely became the territory of the Noxian Empire in the battle of the Imperial God of War, Sackdoro.

Norwen!

A simple name, but it signifies the splendor of the Du Qucao family.

General Du Quecao had a habit that few people knew about, and he would come to his study almost whenever he could, and do nothing to look at the huge portraits that hung around the walls of his study, remembering the pride of each of the Du Quecao's family.

And the ancestor most revered by the Noxian military soul of this lifelong horse is not Feno, who had a great record of slaying dragons, but the fifth-generation family of the great politician Nowen, who had outstanding real talent but died young.

"There are two things to do before you play a poker card, one, don't let your opponent know what the poker card you have in your hand? Second, make your opponent mistakenly think that you have a poker in your hand! The former is the basis of being a politician, while the latter is the instinct to be an outstanding politician! "Although the Du Kekao family did not leave a word to their children and grandchildren before the death of each family head, as did the case of the family members, some of them left a few words when they died.

This sentence is not a statement made by the genius politician Norwen when he was dying, in fact, the genius politician died in the belly of a maid who had hidden the toxin in her body for six years, and did not leave any words before he died.

This is a casual remark made by the politician to a member of the family at a small family banquet after the successful battle for the Titan Empire. But this sentence goes to the essence of a politician. (To be continued.) )
