Chapter 10: I've Given You a Chance
After agreeing on the next plan with Count Lem, Casio returned to his room in the evening, and after some struggle, prepared to lie down and rest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Not long after he lay down, the voice of Marcus, who was dutifully guarding the door, rang out: "Your Royal Highness, Viscount Rosa is visiting. ”
Casio's face suddenly sank, and he muttered, "These people are very idle, they don't sleep at night?"
Saying that, Casio got up and straightened his pajamas and replied, "Please come in, Lord Viscount." ”
Viscount Rosa, who came to Casio's residence at night, was like a thief, and his whole body was shrouded in a black cloak.
Removing his hood, Viscount Rosa showed his signature gentle smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"It's okay, do you have anything urgent?" Casio asked as he sat Rosa down.
Rosa pondered his words for a moment before he spoke: "Your Royal Highness, did the Earl talk to you this afternoon?"
"Can you be a little new?"
Casio complained frantically in his heart, and said as bluntly as he said to Count Lyme this afternoon: "Yes, he came to me to ask about your visit to me. At the same time, we have agreed with me on how to deal with you next. ”
"Huh?!"
Viscount Rosa's usual decent smile suddenly froze on his face, and he looked at Casio in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Viscount Rosa is also a figure who has been baptized in politics for a long time, and which conversation is not a conversation between the two sides, you go back and forth, and it takes a long time to get a little useful information.
However, a person as "upright" as Casio, Viscount Rosa really saw it for the first time in his life.
"This ......" Casio's straightforward words made Viscount Rosa look a little unsure of how to continue.
"Don't worry, if I promised him, would I still tell you?" Casio said with an uncertain smile as he looked at Viscount Rosa's embarrassment.
Hearing this, Viscount Rosa slowly stabilized and regained his initial calmness.
"Then can Your Highness tell me the specific process of your exchange? With Viscount Rosa's cheekiness, he was a little embarrassed to ask this at this time, and felt very weird.
"Of course. ”
Casio didn't care, and immediately explained every detail of the discussion with Count Lem.
However, Casio didn't say anything about Count Leme's reason for asking him to help, and it was rare to write nonsense and prevaricate Rosa.
After listening to Casio's plan with Count Lyme, Viscount Rosa was silent for a long time before he said: "Sure enough, you can't underestimate Lord Earl, I didn't expect him to have such determination to fight with us and break the net." ”
Speaking of this, Rosa remembered that Casio was still there, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Casio: "But this is also thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise we would really have to suffer a big loss." ”
"You're welcome, we're allies after all. ”
Casio's answer made Rosa feel more reassured, and he praised Casio's trustworthiness and noble morality again and again, saying that Casio was a little embarrassed, and he wanted to give up the idea of pitting them.
Of course, it's just a matter of thinking.
"Lord Viscount, in addition to your gratitude, I think the cooperation between us needs to be reconfirmed. ”
"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Prince, please speak. Rosa is not an ignorant person, and naturally understands that Casio did not "give up" on them, and brought them such precious news, which must not be given in vain.
Casio was very satisfied with Rosa's sensibility: "For Sisko's ransom, I'm afraid you have to double it, and at the same time, you take four layers of profits from the mining area, how about it?"
Rosa hesitated to think about it, even though he was the representative of Lem's own rival nobles, it didn't mean that he would be able to decide the matter.
Therefore, Rosa looked at Casio apologetically: "Your Royal Highness, this matter is not something that I can decide alone. So allow me to go back and consult with the others. ”
Casio nodded in understanding.
"By the way, I will continue to communicate with Count Lime, and as your internal response, we should always keep the flow of news between us. ”
Rosa was overjoyed when Casio took the initiative to propose this matter, and he was thinking about how to get Casio to cooperate with him and others, but he didn't expect Casio to bring it up himself.
Faced with this kind of thing, Rosa certainly did not refuse.
At that moment, after briefly determining the contact method and the plan for dealing with Count Lyme with Rosa, Casio stood up and made a gesture of sending off the guest: "Please!"
In the face of Casio's neat movements, Rosa smiled slightly bitterly, just now the two were obviously communicating happily like old acquaintances, and they were about to blow themselves away when they turned their heads.
Naturally, Rosa would not leave alone, so he stood up and said goodbye and left.
After Rosa left, Agaret came out of the shadows as a personal bodyguard and asked Casio in doubt: "Your Royal Highness, you have to cooperate with both sides like this, and both tell the other side the plan, what is this going to do?"
Agaret and the others only had a general idea that Casio would go to Lime City to solve the problem of a potential threat to Lime City, but they did not know the specific plan.
What's more, Casio has always rarely informed them of his specific plans.
It's not to blame Casio for not trusting them or anything, because when Casio makes plans, he always determines what he wants to achieve, and then starts with a head.
As for the process of intermediate implementation, he is at most to make some key deployments. For the specific implementation, he is handed over to the people involved in the plan to play and complete.
For example, the last time he dealt with Sisko, he just started to make Sisko believe that he could help them, and the purpose was naturally to leave the camp.
As for the hand-to-hand pit of Sisko, it is a corresponding change made according to the development of the situation.
And this time to deal with the potential threat of Lime City, Casio's ultimate goal is naturally to consume the strength of Lime City, so that they, like Ultras City, will not be able to target Greenwater Town again and give Greenwater Town a breathing time.
As for the beginning, it is to provoke the conflict between the Count of Lyme and Rosa, and do everything in their power to muddy the waters.
Now that the two sides are unreservedly told each other's purpose and plan, it is natural that they are also aiming for this ultimate goal.
This time, however, Casio used a conspiracy between the two sides, both of them saying to each other that they were on the other's force field, and telling the other side about the other side's plan.
Even if there are spies on both sides who find out about Casio's actions, they will only think that Casio is a double agent to help him.
Fiction and reality are unpredictable, and in the end they can only choose to believe!
Faced with Agaret's doubts, Casio chuckled, "Give them both a chance to see through my fundamental purpose." Otherwise, if they lose, don't blame me for cheating!"
Casio's strange answer is better than not answering, at least because of this answer, Agarret, who is not politically conscious, was stunned and didn't sleep all night, but finally didn't understand.
