Viscount Norrim hesitated a little, but replied anyway, "The 3rd Guards are my direct jurisdiction. In addition to this, my uncle had a personal guard and the command of the Circle Guard, while the rest of the troops were under the command of my grandfather. Viscount Sutherland himself brought a fleet with him, but, by virtue of his power, there were people here who were willing to listen to him. But don't worry, with me, I will never let people touch a single hair of you! ”

"Hey-" Marquis Lebe sighed, "I have a good relationship with your father, Marquis Laurin, and he is so lucky to have a good son." ”

The Marquis of Leo's words actually have another meaning, everyone in Kilmer knows that the Grand Duke of Leo is scheming, and his grandson is also outstanding, but the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Leo, the Marquis of Laurin, is a typical gentleman, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, cockfighting, lackeys, and almost a representative of ignorance. If it weren't for his inaction, Viscount Norrim's uncle, Marquis Tilnesco, would not have dared to get too close to Viscount Sutherland. The Circumferential Escort is none other than the Marquis of Tiernesco.

"I'll make up my mind, he'll support me! Samuel can't let these people go around any longer. Viscount Norrim nodded heavily as he spoke, using psychological cues to boost his confidence. However, as we all know, this is not something that is absolutely certain.

The road from the airport special area to the Duke's Palace is a bit long, when the high-rise buildings on the side of the road gradually thinned out, a large lake mixed with the rainforest appeared in the sight, everyone knew that the Grand Duke's Palace was about to arrive.

In front of a mountain chestnut forest, everyone got off the car, passed a gravel-paved path, and at the end was an antique pillar out of the gatehouse, and there were four mottled and vigorous big characters on the gatehouse - "clean hands off the mountain". Crossing the gatehouse, the road was much wider, flanked by black brown rock T-shaped walls, and the white flowers of the vines on the wall were blooming dottedly, without fragrance but with a kind of melancholy elegance, an officer ran over.

"Young master, the Grand Duke is in the side hall. Do you need me to let me know? ”

Viscount Norrim hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head: "No need, I'll take them there." ”

"But—" said the officer hesitantly, "but the Marquis of Tiernesco is there, and I think—"

"Humph! Am I going to avoid him?! Let's go. Viscount Norrim snorted coldly and walked away with everyone.

The antique Grand Duke's Palace occupies a wide area, and after bypassing several corridors, everyone saw the kiss ridge on the top of the hill in the side hall, and the two guards saw everyone from a distance at the door. They wanted to come forward and ask, but Viscount Norrim's face made them dare not move. Standing there in a dilemma and not knowing what to do.

"Dilemma is the most appropriate expression for you." Viscount Norrim said mockingly, then pushed open the door to the side hall.

The ancient golden silk door creaked open. The sunlight hit the green bricks of the dark room, and a faint bitter smell evaporated. A shrill voice rang out.

"Oh. My dear nephew, your grandfather needs shade, could you please close the door? ”

"I don't need your reminder." Viscount Norrim waved his hand, and the guards at the door had closed the door, and everyone had entered the small room.

The furnishings of this room are not extravagant, and a few tables and chairs are old. But lovely clean. There was an old man sitting on the chair in the middle, and this should be the Grand Duke Leo. Beside Grand Duke Leo was a thin middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a smiling expression that concealed the secrets of his heart. This should be another powerful figure in Kilmer, the Marquis of Tiernesco.

Viscount Norrim ignored his uncle, he bowed and said to Grand Duke Leo in the middle: "Grandpa, this is someone from Channel 314, a senior officer of the 7th Passage Escort of the Kellaran Star. They have come to meet you. ”

Grand Duke Leo's face showed a kind expression, and he nodded and said, "It's good." I know that they, the former 507 Guards, are said to have surpassed my personal guards in combat effectiveness. ”

The chief of staff of Cenarius stepped forward and gave a very standard military salute: "Grand Duke, I am really happy. We followed your instructions, set out from the planet of Quest, fought all the way, and we lived up to expectations and completed the task you assigned to us. It was supposed to be General Pross today, but I was the only one to report, and I was going to report - we had our mission done! ”

The chief of staff of Cenarius couldn't help but cry after speaking, this time the mission was too difficult for the 507 Guards, and they paid a huge price for completing the task. It was a feeling of embarrassment to be able to come back here alive to report on my work.

"Yes-" Grand Duke Leo's face also showed a trace of unbearable expression, he nodded and said, "General Pross, he is an excellent commander, I really feel sorry for this. This mission was too important, so I sent him. However, I didn't expect it to end like this. His death is also an important blow to me, and this kind of accident is a great loss for the Clan! ”

"Nope! Not an accident?! Facing the former old boss, the chief of staff of Cenarius had a rare gaffe, he couldn't control his emotions a little, he choked up and said: "Lord Duke, General Pross was forced, he had no choice, he did this to protect our entire army!" He did not die at the hands of the enemy, nor did he commit suicide, he was a victim of political struggle! He didn't deserve to die!! ”

"Chief of Staff Cenarius, watch your words!" A shrill voice interrupted the cry of Chief of Staff of Cenarius, and the smile of the Marquis of Tilnesco disappeared, and he stood up and said sternly: "If you say so, so is the death of Co-Chairman Murphyline?" They died of a mechanical failure, and the Clan's high-level investigative committee has reached a conclusion, is it rare that you still have to overturn this conclusion? At this critical juncture, we should all focus on the overall situation. ”

"Mechanical failure? Ha Lu Ha ......" The Chief of Staff of Cenarius laughed angrily, he looked at the Marquis of Tilnesco, and did not hide his disgust: "Lord Marquis, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard. In fact, everyone knows what caused it, but no one dares to stand up and point out this fact. This is what you call a political maneuver! The so-called big picture! On this premise, everything is sacrificial, including the one who sacrificed for his beliefs. ”

These words did not impress the Marquis of Tilnesco, he stepped forward, his eyes were full of disdain, and said disdainfully: "Chief of Staff of Cenarius, you have lost your temper. Come, take him down to rest, he is not fit to be here today. ”

"Wait!" Viscount Norrim couldn't stand it anymore, he drank the guards back, looked directly at his uncle and said: "I know that in your eyes, a mere waterway escort is nothing, even a guard is a pawn that can be sacrificed. However, these are the most valiant warriors, they are loyal to the Clan, they do not deserve to be treated like this, it is not fair! ”

"Fair? Dear nephew, do you also question the conclusions of the military? Moreover, the Duke also signed the report of the Commission of Inquiry, do you think he is also wrong? ”

"Nope! Grandpa, he doesn't know the truth, he is deceived by some people! ”

"Blinded? For us in Samuel, this is the best outcome. Moreover, we also compensate them for the self-control of the five administrative stars, which is unprecedented tolerance. Isn't that enough? The interests of the clan are important, but what about the interests of our province of Samus? ”

"Interests?! Hmph - all I know is that they were almost attacked. And the people of our circumnavigation convoy are your people. Do you dare to say that those people have nothing to do with you? ”

Viscount Norrim was relieved, he forced his uncle to look at him, and the latter was not moved at all, and said lightly

"I don't know there's such a thing in the road, and besides, aren't they very safe now? My dear nephew, the truth is always hidden behind countless veils, and my loyalty to our family is also obvious to all, after all, you are my own nephew, and anyone who wants to divide us is my enemy, you must firmly believe this, no matter what, I will be on your side, and the interests of the family and the clan alliance are the most important. ”

"I'm afraid it's in your interest, right? The promise of the Viscount of Sutherland was impressive, as was the seat in the House of Commons. My dear brother is only 15 years old, but in a few years he will be the youngest member of Parliament and have a bright future. ”

"That's also the glory of our family, he's your brother after all."

"Really? It seems that my aunt doesn't see it that way, she used to say that only what is snatched is good. ”

"Humph! Fabrication, nonsense. ”

“……”

The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and finally, the silent Grand Duke Leo spoke, his prestige was still there, and he waved his hand and neither of them spoke. Grand Duke Leo glanced at the people in the room, and then said slowly:

"There's no need to quarrel over a trivial matter, everyone here is loyal, it's just a different starting point. Moreover, Cenarius they are also tired, take them down to rest. In our province of Samus, they are safe, I can assure you. So, those worries are not necessary, so let's stop there. ”

A conflict was simply quelled, and no one could guess what the ruler was thinking, and perhaps for Archduke Léo, it was a commonplace thing that was not worth making a fuss about.

Chu Ming and his party returned to the apartment, Viscount Norrim was young and vigorous, and he left after a complaint, it seemed that he was going to find trouble with his uncle.

After Viscount Norrim left, everyone fell silent. The chief of staff of Cenarius was still sentimental, and he could not restrain his emotions; Draenor had very few words, he was a templar and a warrior, and he obeyed orders; Viscount Sembay and Marquis de l'Le Bey sat together, both of them understanding politics, so they were more worried; Miss Chu Chu sat on Miss Glenya's lap, I don't know how Miss Glenya did it, Miss Chu Chu is very well-behaved today.

Chu Ming smoked cigarettes one after another, as if he was bored, but he was the first to speak, and he asked an irrelevant question.
