Faced with Princess Sophia's self-deprecation and gaze, the Falcon Duke unnaturally turned his head and hid half of his face in the shadows.

After a long silence, Princess Sophia was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"I don't understand why the White Rose Family, which you disguise on the surface, is related to the Falcon Family, and how did you get in touch with those Black Mages?", Princess Sophia asked.

"That's fate. The Duke of Falcon replied, "The family that was defeated in the Hundred Years' War has no place in the whole kingdom of St. Teresa. No matter where you hide, you will definitely be wiped out by the Violet family. However, in the past few years, several branches of the originally huge family have been slaughtered, and only the main vein relies on a little bit of family heritage to hide in Tibet, and it is impossible to live in fear. After about ten years, after almost being discovered by the Violet family's eagle dogs several times, the head of the family finally decided to take refuge in a place where the forces of the fugitive kingdom were out of reach. His words were full of hatred that could not be concealed.

"At that time, the choice was nothing more than three places: the snowy fields in the west, the Silver Moon Forest in the south, and the 100,000 mountains in the north. The natural environment of the snow field is extremely harsh, and there are ferocious orcs entrenched, and it can be said that settling there is lifeless, so naturally it cannot be considered. And the Forest of the Silver Moon has long been closed by the elves, and no one else can enter except for a few humans who are recognized by them. Therefore, the only option is the 100,000 Mountains, which are inhabited by dark elves and dwarves, but the 100,000 Mountains are so vast that you may be lucky enough to find a place to settle. It was really with this tragic idea that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and the ancestors at that time went through a lot of hardships and sacrifices, and finally entered the underground of the 100,000 mountains from somewhere. ”

And it was there that they met the dark magicians who had been hiding there for hundreds of years. ”

"I see, the black magicians who were exterminated by the Hero King back then turned out to be hiding in the 100,000 mountains, no wonder hundreds of years have passed, and there has been no news of them. The world thought that black magic had been cut off. Princess Sophia suddenly realized.

"Once you want to live, you can always burst into amazing potential. No matter what kind of environment you are in, or what kind of crazy things you do. ", said the Falcon Duke in a low voice.

So the original version still has a certain remnant of power in the kingdom, and the Blood Rose family, who is dead but not stiff, hit it off with the black magicians who have been trapped in the 100,000 mountains for many years, with insufficient population and lack of materials, and reached a cooperation. We provide the supplies, the population, and the Dark Mages are responsible for training talents, and after hundreds of years of this partnership, the Blood Rose family and the Dark Mages have long been closely linked, you have me, I have you, they are inseparable. ”

"However, it is impossible for a man to willingly pretend to be a mouse in the ground all his life. Driven by our shared desire to return to the surface and see the light again, we formed the Council of the Night, vowing to take revenge on the kingdom of St. Teresa, and on the people on the surface who live in the sun. ”

"And this council is led by our Blood Rose family. ”

"Hmph, those dark magicians who can only devote themselves to the study of the dossier and the study of magic are all elm heads, how can they be the opponents of you filthy nobles. It's a partnership, but in the end, it's not the dictatorship of the Blood Rose family. Although the Duke of Falcon was vague and did not recount this history in detail. But Princess Sophia guessed all at once.

"Even if it's a lost dog hiding underground, it still can't change the disgusting aristocratic nature. ", she sarcastically said.

"What else can we do? To get along with the tyrannical and cruel Dark Mages who do not treat people as human beings at all, we must be more tyrannical, more cruel, more insidious and cunning than them, in order to survive in the darkness of the earth. ", the Falcon Duke discerned.

"Those dark magicians have been underground for so many years, and they are not vegetarians. They worked hard and under the banner of mages, they finally managed to run a small force in the north, which was the predecessor of the White Rose Trading Company. With the addition of our family, this firm has become one of the largest trading houses in the North, and through years of continuous efforts, it has become a distant relative of the Reinhardt family. ”

"Sophia, don't underestimate those dark mages. As the saying goes, hundred-legged insects die but do not stiffen, and no matter how weak they are, they can still cause great destruction with the help of black magic and alchemy. ”

"As far as I know, the Tulip family left behind by the Hero King was poisoned by this group of dark magicians, and finally ended up with no heirs. Suddenly, the Duke of Falcon revealed a secret of the day.

"What? Could it be that the Violet Family and the Blood Rose Family have been fighting for the throne for a hundred years, and they are the culprits!", Princess Sophia said in surprise.

"That's right, if you think about it, the ultimate wish of the dark mages is to rule human society again and return to the supremacy of that mage. However, as long as the kingdom of St. Teresa remains united and humanity united, they will not have the slightest chance. For this reason, they did everything they could to cut off the inheritance of the Tulip family. This is not only revenge on the Hero King, but also to provoke the cannibalism of all forces in the kingdom, so that they can fish in troubled waters and have a chance to make a comeback. ”

"But the Tulip family was the royal family of the Saint-Teresa Kingdom at that time, and it should have been under strict protection, and there was also the supervision of the Holy Sect at that time, how did the black magicians find the opportunity to attack?", Princess Sophia asked again.

"Time has passed, and it's impossible to know exactly what they used. However, judging from the words handed down by the black magicians, they should have received the secret help of some nobles at that time, so they succeeded. ", replied the Duke of Falcon.

"It's really not changed for hundreds of years, and it's disgusting in the past, present, and future. ", Princess Sophia asked disdainfully.

"However, don't forget, whether it is you or me, we all have the blood of nobility in our bodies, and we have inherited the instincts of nobility in our bones. You hate the nobles so much, didn't you also use the means of the nobles to complete revenge in the end?"

This is the original sin we were born with, and we should not be ashamed of it, but we should be proud of it. It is because of this that we can dwell in this palace and stand above all people. ", said the Duke of Falcon disapprovingly.

Princess Sophia shook her head, "This is your ambition, not mine. Last question, how did you gain the trust of the Duke of Reinhardt to choose you as his heir?"

"You promised me that you would be able to do it, but I don't know what you used. ”
