Chapter 261: Duel (I)

Crape Myrtle Star.

Above the vast expanse of crape myrtle star, Robin, Huggins? Greg, Soloon? Clarence and Jean? Gustav, the four young men representing the future of the Empire, aboard a flying machine, find an island in the middle of the sea far from the imperial city in the middle of the ocean.

"How's that there? The area is open enough, and there is nothing for us to break. Robin asked casually, pointing to the island below the cabin.

"I'm okay with that." Huggins sat in the cockpit with his arms crossed, and along the way, he watched the look on Robin's face almost every moment, trying to guess what was really going on in Robin's heart.

After all, in his opinion, under the current situation that the overall situation has been decided, there is no need for this duel at all. Looking at Robin's past style, he definitely doesn't believe that Robin is a willful person, he carefully plans every step and never does meaningless things. Therefore, he thinks that Robin's insistence on this duel must be an attempt.

What exactly does he want to do? Now that the statements of Duke Clarence and I have shaken the determination of the knightly nobles to resist the New Deal, and depending on the situation, Duke Gustav, the Lord of the Storm, has no intention of being an enemy of Hoffman the Great, then in the future, Robin and Hoffman the Great are sure enough to concentrate all the forces of the empire in a short period of time and sweep the entire galaxy. His attempt has been accomplished, so why risk a duel with me?

Huggins was puzzled, he couldn't figure out why Robin did this.

Don't......

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Huggins's mind, and he observed Solomon, who looked relaxed on the surface, but was nervous between his eyebrows? Clarence, as if he had come to his senses.

That's right, me and Solomon? Will Clarence marry Leslie separately? Hoffman and Sarah? Hoffman is his wife. According to the new definition of royalty in the New Deal, in the future, our sons will be able to compete for the throne, and now, Robin, as the crown prince, does not have any children.

Hum...... To deprive the nobility of their right to inheritance, the royal family must first set an example. Robin and Hoffmann the Great announced that the scope of the imperial succession should only be to confuse the eyes of the nobles, and in this way to counteract the resistance of the nobles to the New Deal, so that more state rights can be smoothly controlled into their own hands through the implementation of the New Deal. But they should not have thought of me, Solomon and I? Clarence will threaten him with a marriage as a condition, so that in the future, as long as I and Solomon and I? Either of Clarence has a brilliant son, and he will have the ability and conditions to challenge for the throne in the future. Hoffmann the Great hinted that I could not accept a duel, but that was because the future would be my son or Solomon? Clarence's son inherited the throne, and the blood of the Hoffman family flowed in his body. Robin, on the other hand, is the biggest threat to him if he wants to hold the throne firmly for his son. He's trying to use this duel as an excuse to get rid of me, so Sarah? Hoffman wouldn't marry me, he wanted to clear the way for his family to continue to hold the throne in the future.

Despicable fellow, he keeps saying that he will not think about the status of the next generation, but in fact he has already calculated everything. He brought Solomon? Clarence and Jean? Gustav also had ulterior motives, and they were ready for the trio to join forces to get rid of me, and only then could he explain why he defined this duel as a private, non-public duel. As long as they kill me, then they can completely use the duel as an excuse to cover everything, and the marriage partner with the Hoffman family will become Jean? Gustav. Yes, this is the only way to explain why he insisted on doing so, and now that the smooth implementation of the New Deal is irreversible, and he also knows what my father is secretly planning. After getting rid of me, he tried to provoke my father into an early rebellion, so that he would have a reason to put down the rebellion and wipe out the entire Greg family before his father could join Dante.

“……”

As this huge conspiracy gradually became coherent in Huggins's mind, a chill from his heart suddenly made him unable to hide the horror on his face.

In his opinion, this is indeed a poisonous plan that is most in the interests of Robin, and it is also completely in line with Robin's consistent style. If Solomon and Jean were really the thugs who were moved by what he said, then no matter how strong they were, they would never be able to defeat the three of them, which also explains why Robin is so confident. And if he is really killed, then there is a good chance that the situation will develop according to his vision.

No, we can't let it turn out like this. Since they're going to get rid of me in secret, why don't I make it all public and really have a completely public duel with him. If it had been one-on-one, he would never have beaten me, and his plan would not have succeeded. And if I beat him......

Gradually, a wave of hot blood began to boil in Huggins's body. He could almost imagine that if he became the winner of this duel, there was no doubt that his popularity would reach new heights. Although, to some extent, this is a disobedience to his father's will, and even affects his treasonous plan to secretly drain the national strength of the Immortal Spiral Arm, but it is still much better than the almost certain death situation that he just guessed. And if you can kill Robin in a duel......

Hum...... Robin is the only prince of Hoffmann the Great, and the current prestige of the royal family is completely built up by Robin, a guy who suddenly appeared. And if he was killed openly by himself in a duel, then even Hoffmann the Great would have nothing to say. The royal family lost Robin, and with it lost the only person qualified to inherit the throne. At that point, it will no longer matter whether the new policy can be implemented smoothly, and everything will go back to the way it was, and the situation will be the era of the triumvirate struggle again.

Suddenly, Huggins's eyes were full of light, and the originally restrained momentum also exploded at this moment.

"Your Highness Robin, I agree to a duel with you, but since it is a duel, it should be completely public, and I don't think there is a need to hide a sacred duel! ～”

Huggins, who believed that Robin had an intention, said this suddenly, and at the same time, he watched Solomon and Jean with extreme vigilance, always on the lookout for their sudden attack.

"What do you mean...... Public? Robin glanced back at Huggins in surprise, he already knew the negotiation between Huggins and his father, Duke Greg, and he was very aware of the impact that Huggins would have on Duke Greg in the Perseus Spiral Arm countries if Huggs lost in an open duel.

In Robin's original plan, he wanted to use the testimony of Solomon and Jean to gradually disclose the results of the duel in a small circle, and slowly affect the Perseus Spiral Arm where Duke Greg is located, and influence the countries in the Perseus Spiral Arm as much as possible, so as to limit the large-scale transfer of Duke Greg's national power to various countries. He never imagined that Huggins would suddenly ask for the duel to be made public, which was undoubtedly a surprise for him.

In fact, Robin's intentions were not as sinister as Huggins had imagined, and he had no ability to say that Solomon and Jean would reach a joint agreement with him, after all, the main target of the royal family's suppression at present was the Big Three, and the Big Three were bitter between each other, and there was only one in 10,000 chance of achieving the kind Huggins envisioned. Huggins, on the other hand, decided that there was a one-in-a-10,000 chance that the royal family had reached some kind of agreement with the Clarence family and the Gustav family.

"Public...... There's nothing wrong with that......" Robin looked back ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
