Chapter 152: Unexpected Help
The old man stood up and circled the room in a large circle, which Stannis could tell was a sign of unease.
"Have you forgotten? If the slightest mistake goes wrong in the agreement between us, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
It turned out that he was still looking for himself for the duke's business, and it was really haunting, and he couldn't think of the duke or not!So Stannis began to get serious.
"You haven't written to me since you returned to the realm, yes, I am not mistaken, you are able to hold your breath, as your father did. Xiao Enbin said with satisfaction, if it was such a big thing for other lords, it would be difficult to sleep and eat a long time ago, and he would have to write a dozen letters every day to ask for comfort to feel at ease.
"......" Stannis didn't expect that he would leave this image in the envoy's mind, in fact, he was just a simple lazy cancer......
"Have you ever told anyone else about this?"
Stannis immediately shook his head, "Except for the three of me, I've been tight-lipped about this matter. β
Although the traverser was only a naΓ―ve little white-collar worker before engaging in the high-risk profession of lord, he still knew that the most important thing to engage in conspiracy was secrecy, otherwise the conspiracy would become a conspiracy, and his head would have to move.
Sean Bin nodded, "Right now, the matter of electing you as a duke should be accelerated, because there has been an undercurrent in the principality recently, and I originally wanted to make you a duke in ten years, but now I am afraid that it will have to be greatly advanced." β
Putting yourself on the throne of a duke in a year?
Stannis stared at his titular uncle, the Imperial Envoy Sean Bin, and felt that this matter had become more and more outrageous, and it was a bit ridiculous that the two of them were discussing a plot to overthrow the rule of the Garcia family.
How can two people in the world get rid of a duke's business!
He decided not to be at the mercy of others, but to take the initiative and at least take advantage of it.
"Uncle Sean Bing, you see that of course I really want to be a duke, but you also know that I am so weak now, I have neither anyone nor money, do you see if you can give some assistance, after all, to achieve great things is not only to depend on personal struggle, but also to consider the course of history!"
The envoy smiled knowingly, as if he knew he would say this, "Of course, of course, it is hard work to make you a duke, and of course I will help you. β
With that, he knocked on the table.
"You can come out. β
The inner room was opened again, only this time a woman of remarkable grace stepped out of it.
Stanis's habit of starting with the chest first, but he can also open that familiar chest shape, he quickly looked up, and found that it was the Imperial Commander - Charachi!
Why did you come here, there are acquaintances everywhere, will this plot be arranged too tightly?
Stannis was about to complain, but found that the beautiful mature woman was walking towards him, with a serious face, as meticulous as a real soldier.
This is the same as the stupid big sister I met last time.
"Your Excellency, I have followed your instructions to meet Sir Stan. The woman didn't even look at the man sitting in the seat.
"Hello, Major Charachi!" Stannis took to stand up and salute her, and he genuinely had a crush on the woman.
"You know me!"
Surprisingly, the woman asked Stannis this question.
"......" Stannis was speechless for a moment, he really underestimated the degree of confusion of this woman.
"Is there any mistake! I was 'invited' to the barracks by you only a month and a half ago, and locked me in a small dark room for half a day!" Stannis protested angrily, he was about to turn this into a diplomatic incident.
The woman's expression immediately changed from curiosity to sudden realization, and then continued to become shy, and she used her signature trick of selling cuteness, that is, she spit out the tip of her pink tongue.
"I said how did I look at you so familiar when I first came in, it turns out that you are Sir Justine, when the Bernard envoy told me to meet an acquaintance named Stan, I was still strange and didn't know it~~"
Stannis has nothing to say, this woman is so stupid that she can't even tell the last name, isn't she really deliberately selling cuteness here!
But judging from the helpless expression of the old man next to him, confusion is the nature of this woman.
"Haha, I'm really sorry, I was overlooked, please don't complain about me to the Empire......" Charaki realized that the Imperial envoy was next to her halfway through speaking, and hurriedly touched her long hair in embarrassment Haha.
"Uncle, you don't want her to assist me, do you?" Stannis's tone was full of disgust, and he was quite unhappy to let this big beauty serve him.
Sean Bin changed his normal behavior, his expression that had been calm and relaxed disappeared, and he stood up a little nervously, with a pleading tone like selling goods that could not be shaken off, "My nephew, don't you refuse so quickly! Although Sharachi may be a little less careful, she has a real imperial army of more than 1,000 people in her hands, which can be of great help in an emergency! Please consider it!"
"Hehe!" Charaki was also very broad-hearted, she was so disgusted, and she looked at Stannis happily, not caring at all.
If I can trick her into bed, I will accept her! Of course, Stannis would not say this, he thought about it seriously, indeed, if he could have 1,000 regular troops to support him, of course he could do whatever he wanted.
"Will you be completely at my disposal?" asked Stannis with his hands behind his back, and it would be fun to train this beautiful woman.
But Charaki stood up straight and shook his head decisively, "I only obey the orders of the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!"
"What is this!" Stannis turned his head to Sean Bing, hoping that he would come out and scold the woman twice.
However, the envoy changed his flattering appearance just now, and said solemnly, "Although I have sent Major Charaki to you, you can only mobilize him in the most critical situation, otherwise the rest of the principality will be suspicious, and I don't think you want to do that!"
Stannis felt very bored, it turned out that she and the army could only be used as reinforcements, not at will, his interest was greatly reduced, and he even felt like he was on a thief ship.
"Well, it's better to have something than nothing. So what do I do next?"
But Sean Bin was not in a hurry, he made a gesture to ask back, "My nephew, don't be in such a hurry, you just need to go back and silently strengthen your strength now, and when the time comes, I will inform you of the next evolution." β
Stannis stood up unhappily, and he began to feel that even if he became a duke, he would only be a puppet, at the mercy of the old man and the people behind him.
