Chapter 64: The Chess Piece

After entering the castle, Bériurand arranged a quiet and comfortable room for the Count of Noamun, summoned him the best physician in the city, and then arranged a lodging for Julian's retinue.

During this period, Dick wanted to come up and get close to Berryron, but Berryron didn't seem to like Dick, his face was displeased, and his already overly serious face tightened even more, and he responded to Dick's warm greeting with cold eyes and wordless contempt. Dick, who was bored with himself, smiled and bowed, and walked away.

Bérilang admonished Julian, "Stay away from him, man Hendington. ”

"Why?" Julian asked puzzled, now that Dick is already his henchman, it is obviously impossible for Julian to alienate Dick now, because Dick is his eyes and ears in Fury Wave City, and a bridge to dialogue with many nobles, even if he knows Dick's greedy appetite, but Julian thinks he has the ability to control and shackle this hungry wolf.

Although Bériurand often spoke disrespectfully, it was limited to those whom he despised and spurned, and in Julian's memory, Dick and Bériurand did not seem to have anything to do with each other, and Dirk's deceased father had a very good relationship with Bérieland, and there were not many people who could have a long conversation with Bériurand at the court at that time, and Dirk's father was one, so why did Bériurand speak ill of the son of the old man? Bérienand's disgust for Dick's face made Julian a little interested, and maybe he could find out a little bit about the secret that he did not know.

"Hmph. "Bérieland's contempt and disgust for Dick have no hidden meaning," when Hengyanton was studying in the imperial capital, he met a noble lady named Victorina Laforgard, this noble lady went out of the house, extremely rich, and very beautiful, although his father, the Marquis of Laforgard, although not a territorial nobleman, but held the position of finance minister in the imperial palace, and was favored by the emperor, and was quite powerful, so there were many suitors, and Hengyanton was one of them. ”

Berry Lang paused, and continued: "Hendynton is quite handsome, and very learned, and has stood out among many suitors, and has won the attention of that Miss Laforgard. Speaking of this, Berry Lang's tone became more and more disdainful and contemptuous.

"And then?" asked Julian with interest, for Dick had never told such an interesting story about his time in the Imperial Capital, and he had not brought back Miss LaForge from the Imperial Capital to wonder what had happened in the meantime.

"You know, women are vain and fickle by nature, and their natural pride led Miss Laforgard to reject Hendynton's proposal to marry Viscount Renelet of the West, a true territorial nobleman. It is said that Viscount Renélé was in his forties, a little older than the Marquis de La Forgard, and that he was bloated, ugly, shallow, pretentious, utter fool, and sadistic"

When Bériuron told the story, there was a chilling contempt and disdain in his words, which were controlled appropriately at first, but as he went on, the more his voice gradually rose and the more bitter his words became, as if he were stating a disgusting filth, and Julian thought to himself, even a fly on cow dung would not be so disgusted.

It's a sad story, but that's all, it doesn't mean anything, and Hendynton is the saddest victim of this story. Julian said.

"I'm not done yet, and when I'm done with this story you'll know what a weak, heartless fellow Dick Hendington is. ”

"At the time when the dog man and woman were about to get married. At this time, Bérilang had not embellished the hypocrisy of the aristocracy, "Matthew, Hendynton's father is seriously ill and is about to die. Anyone who had a shred of flesh and respect for his father and family would have hurried back with all his might, and Hendynton, a shameless waste, chose to go to his bitch's wedding first, and when he hurried back, Matthew was already dead, and even the funeral had already been held. ”

"You say!, how can a man be in the company of such unsympathetic brutes?!" said Bérilang viciously.

"There's such a past. Julian groaned thoughtfully.

"I advised your father to strip Dick Henyanton of his title and to drive him out of the court, but I don't know why your father disagreed, and I don't know what your father thinks. Berry Lang said dissatisfiedly.

"yes, my father is confused. Julian shook his head and said, although he agreed with Berryron's words on the surface, but in fact, Julian didn't think so, no matter how much mud was stained on a chess piece on the chessboard, or a missing corner and a broken head. However, its authority as a chess piece itself has not been lost in the slightest, and if it is used well, it can still be used to kill the opponent's king chess.

And now, Dick is an excellent pawn of Julian's game with many nobles, as long as he can win for Julian, then what if this pawn is once stuck in a pit, and it stinks? As long as it can bring victory, then all flaws are acceptable. And Julian considered himself not perfect, after all, he sold the entire empire with his own hands, and Dick's moral flaws were nothing compared to them.
