Chapter 8: Someone Visits

Looking out the window at the snow that was already beginning to melt, Casio knew that spring was just around the corner. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although Count Lyme placed the group under house arrest, he did not do anything extraneous and allowed them to operate within a certain area of the manor.

This house arrest lasted for two days, during which he did not even see Casio again.

Casio also held his breath, as if nothing had happened, and he ate and drank as much as he wanted.

Because he understands that the wrestling between Count Lyme and him has actually officially begun.

It's true that Count Leme is facing layers of external pressure right now, but Casio isn't necessarily better than him. Perhaps in his absence, Earl Cavin will make a comeback.

Even if it won't be for a short time, what about Count Lyme putting him under house arrest here for a month, two months, or even half a year?

The fact that there is no Casio in Greenwater will definitely reach the ears of Count Cavin, and it is difficult to say what Count Cavin will do when the time comes.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't seem to be worried at all. "Agaret is not very good at political struggles, so he doesn't know much about the current situation.

But he at least knows what will happen without Casio in Greenwater during this special period.

Faced with Agaret's question, Casio smiled and was leisurely: "There is food and drink here, leisurely, I have nothing to worry about." ”

Agaret pursed his lips slightly, and wanted to reply with something like "yes, there is food and drink here, but you can't go out". However, as a subordinate, he still rationally chose to shut up.

While Casio was leisurely admiring the scenery outside the window, Marcus came to say, "Your Royal Highness, someone has asked to see you." ”

Casio raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had expected someone to come, and nodded.

"Ask him to come in. ”

Then I saw a middle-aged man with a shrewd face, dressed in a well-cut black aristocratic robe, with a gentle smile on his face, came to Casio.

"It is an honor to meet you, His Royal Highness the Prince of the Principality of Dolan. Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Viscount Rosa of Lyme City. "Viscount Rosa's manners were impeccable, and his tone was very humble.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Viscount Rosa. But I never thought that Count Lyme would be willing to let you come to me. Casio smiled, a look of meaning in his eyes.

Casio had done his homework before coming to Lyme City.

Whether it is the distribution of power in Lyme City, or the environment in which Count Lyme is located because of the loss of Sisko, they have a relatively deep understanding.

Count Lyme is not like Count Carvin, who firmly controls the operation and initiative of the city. Because Count Lyme has no direct heirs, Lyme City has never been completely under the control of Count Lyme.

Some other nobles have always been eyeing the position of Count Lyme.

It is precisely because of this that he will deliberately spread the news so that other people who are hostile to Count Lyme will see the opportunity.

And since Count Lyme is under house arrest for Casio, it is naturally impossible for Casio to move at will, and at the same time, he will not let anyone come into contact with Casio.

Now Viscount Rosa has blatantly come to visit Casio, but Casio is surprised.

Rosa smiled gently, not caring about this question at all: "Lord Earl has something to deal with in the city today, so I think that we are all masters of Lyme City, and it is necessary to come and meet your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Casio showed an insincere smile, not believing Viscount Rosa's nonsense at all.

Viscount Rosa is one of the few representatives of the enemy of Count Lyme, and now that he has come here with great fanfare, you can imagine how difficult the environment Count Lyme is in now.

Even his own interior has been infiltrated by the enemy!

"Are you here for Sisko's business?" Casio didn't talk nonsense with Viscount Rosa and went straight to the point.

In the face of Casio's straightforward opening remarks, Viscount Rosa was still calm and calm, but did not answer Casio's question: "I heard that last night, the conversation between His Royal Highness the Prince and the Earl did not seem to be pleasant. ”

Casio's eyes turned slightly, and he nodded: "Lord Count thinks that there are some contradictions in the cooperation between us. ”

With a slight groan, Viscount Rosa also got straight to the point: "Then His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know if you have considered changing your partner?"

Casio smiled faintly and looked directly at Viscount Rosa: "Could it be that Lord Viscount are you interested?"

"It is a great honour for your Royal Highness the Prince, if you wish to do so. Viscount Rosa didn't shy away from it in the slightest.

Casio sat down on the chair, motioned for Viscount Rosa to sit too, and tapped his index finger lightly on the table, and then said, "It seems that Count Lyme can be in charge of Lyme City, right?"

"Of course. Viscount Rosa showed respect for Count Lyme on his face, "But Count Lyme is old after all, and he has no direct descendants. I think he must have been thinking about which nobleman should hand over the control of Lyme City to recently. ”

Casio couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Count Lyme, since Count Lyme City was named after Count Lyme's family, it is conceivable that this city once came from.

Time has passed, and now the Lyme family is no longer the Lyme family it once was, and the surrounding nobles are even more eyeing it, and they will be like a hungry wolf at any time, pounce on it and bite away a piece of meat from the Lyme family.

However, none of this has anything to do with Casio.

"How do you want to cooperate?" asked Casio, who deliberately pretended to be moved.

The smile on Viscount Rosa's face was even bigger: "We are willing to share the profits of the mine equally with what Your Royal Highness the Prince said, and fulfill our duties to each other. At the same time, we are willing to pay you a thousand gold coins as a ransom for Sisko. ”

Hearing this, Casio was a little surprised: "You want to take Sisko and them?"

Casio couldn't help but ask like this, even if Sisko and he didn't have a long-term hostile relationship, he used the best soft policy he could think of, and he didn't subdue them all.

As Viscount Rosa, who has always been Count Lem's opponent, do they still want Sisko and the others to be loyal to them?

Viscount Rosa's next words answered Casio's doubts: "No, His Royal Highness the Prince. We are willing to pay these thousand gold coins in the hope that you can dispose of Sisko and them as you please, and we don't want to see them again in Lyme City!"

Casio raised his eyebrows, it turned out that the thousand gold coins were equivalent to hush money and the like, so as to ensure that Casio would not hand over Sisko to Count Lem.

However, this was exactly what Casio wanted, and he immediately smiled and nodded.

Seeing that the matter had been negotiated, Viscount Rosa did not delay, and directly got up and said, "Your Royal Highness, it is really a pleasant thing to talk to you. But I still have business to do, so allow me to go first. ”

Casio understood that Viscount Rosa was going to relay the results of their conversation back to the other nobles of Lyme.

"See you next time. Casio also stood up to see him off, smiling.

"By the way, I'm afraid that Your Royal Highness will have to stay with Count Lyme for a while during this time. Trust me though, we'll be giving you a tour of the sights of Lime soon. ”

Before leaving, Viscount Rosa pointed out to Casio.

Casio nodded, an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.
