White Mist City, Earl's Court.

The invitation to the Spring Hunt from the Guardian of the North has been sent to Peel.

Peel couldn't leave White Mist City, and today summoned Albert to the Executive Hall for him to replace.

Peel didn't know much about Albert as a person. In the past, when he was a merchant, he only dealt with the people in the earl's court, and the rest of the nobles had little contact.

From recent observations, he found that Albert was biased in his own decision, both in favor of the Holy See's taxation and Ravenwood's policies, which pleased him that it was always advantageous to have a helper.

"What does the Earl command? "Albert came to the Executive Hall, in fact, he already knew through the grapevine that there was such a thing.

"The Spring Hunt of the Guardian of the North, this time you will participate, I don't know if you want to?" Peel asked pretendingly, and the other party would force him to go if he didn't agree.

"I certainly won't miss such a great opportunity. Albert agreed.

The Spring Hunt brings together all the lords of the North, and in addition to enjoying the pleasure of hunting, strengthening the ties and relationships between all parties is also an important factor, and it is an honor for him to be able to participate in place of the Earl.

"Good. Peel had a satisfied smile on his face.

A guard came in from outside the door: "My lord, those from the Chamber of Commerce are here again." ”

"Nope. Peel told the guards to send them away.

Ever since he removed Silas as president, that position had been vacant and had not been appointed by the Earl, and the Chamber of Commerce was unable to elect a new president.

So someone organized and begged the Count to let Silas reinstate, much to Peel's disgust from the bottom of his heart, and he never saw these people.

"The Chamber of Commerce is an important institution in White Mist City, and the position of president cannot be vacant forever, do you have a candidate in mind?" Albert feared that it would cause irreparable damage to business in the long run.

"I'll make a decision as soon as possible. "Peel certainly has the ideal candidate.

His own body was occupied by the Count, and naturally it was impossible to release it. He wants his son to sit on it, but unfortunately he is not qualified enough in business, and his sudden ascension to the throne will cause strong opposition from everyone, so he has to wait for an opportunity.

Albert said no more.

After that, we talked about some recent events.

"I heard that you tore up the trade agreement you just signed halfway?" Albert had just learned of this news in the morning, and he didn't know if it was true or not.

"Fury, that bastard, don't want to get the benefit of White Mist City. At the mention of this, Pilton became angry.

Originally, he asked him to send the robbers to Ravenwood, so that he could take the opportunity to send troops into the town and force Leon to see the situation clearly.

Unexpectedly, Fury just went back to suppress the bandits, and the elimination of the robbers spread quickly in the north, and even the guardian of the north personally issued a message to express his appreciation. Losing this great opportunity has put him at a point where he has nothing to do with Ravenwood.

What's even infuriating is that Fury cheated a sum of money from himself, which was given by a private person.

The money was not given for nothing, with ulterior conditions attached, so it seems that there is no way to get the money back, but to tear up the trade agreement and prevent Harrim County from getting more benefits.

"If you do this, it will make my uncle unhappy. Albert reminded.

As an earl, everything you do represents the position of the family, so you need to hold a family meeting before making a big decision.

Peel's tearing up of the agreement was a personal act of self-determination without consulting anyone, and the word spread that affected the credibility of White Mist City.

As the leader of the older generation of the family, Hucanofy naturally did not like Peel's approach, and when this matter spread, the Earl's Court would definitely set off a storm.

"I have good enough reasons to do that. Peel quibbled.

"Can your uncle accept it?" Albert didn't believe it.

"That's his problem. Peel didn't bother so much for a moment.

The condition mentioned to Fury is equivalent to the collusion between White Mist City and the bandits, which he will hide, and now that the bandits are dead, Fury stands up and explains that no one will fully believe it.

As long as he insists that this agreement is not good for White Mist City, what others think is their business.

After all, the previous agreement lasted for many years, allowing White Mist City to earn quite a lot of benefits, and the changed agreement was obviously a loss. In order to protect his own interests, he believed that those in the council would be on his side.

"Actually, if you want to deal with Fury, why do it yourself, there are many people who want to make him uneasy. Albert looked around left and right, then stepped forward and whispered.

"Oh?" said Peel was interested to know.

Based on the covert investigation, Albert came to his own conclusions.

Twenty years ago, the kingdom was unstable, with wars and wars between the realms from time to time.

Kharkov's former wife, Fury's mother, was killed during that war, and her killer was Hampshire.

Later, the kingdom returned to peace, and in the war, all sides suffered losses, and the lords tacitly agreed not to mention the past, and anyone who wanted to provoke a war would be punished by the kingdom.

The counties of Herrim and Hampshire are living smoothly.

Who knew that after all these years, Kharkov married a young wife, and that woman was the granddaughter of the lord of Hampshire.

Seeing the enemy's granddaughter become his stepmother, Fury was furious, and it was not surprising that he would secretly launch a rebellion.

"Is there such a thing?" Peel was completely stunned, thinking that it was just a simple seizure of power, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret behind it.

"Now that Fury is in power, and the woman and baby are imprisoned, how anxious must the Lord of Hampshire be?" asked Albert.

"You're suggesting we join forces with Hampshire to deal with Fury?" Peel seemed to understand his thoughts, taking advantage of the contradictions between the two places to put pressure on Fury.

He shook his head.

There is a gap between Hampshire and Herrimshire, it is normal for conflicts to break out between the two sides, and White Mist City cannot directly intervene as an outsider, which will expose his purpose too obviously, and he can only secretly add fuel to the fire, and give Hampshire some help when needed.

Of course, when you can suppress Herrim on the surface, you must completely suppress it, and finally get rid of Fury with Hampshire's hand, which will achieve your goal without leaving a handle.

This time for the spring hunt, there was just the opportunity to contact the Lord of Hampshire.

"Haha, Albert, you've done me a great favor. Peel trusted him a little more.

"It was only in the planning phase, and when Fury actually fell, I helped out. Albert was more cautious, it wasn't a moment to be happy and no one knew if something would go wrong.

"I'll leave this matter entirely to you. "Peel can't go out, a lot of the time it's restricted, and now it's a lot easier to have someone you can trust.

"Be sure to live up to your expectations. ”
