Chapter Ninety-Eight: Secret Fight
Another person who reported Leo was a little strange, was the current housekeeper of the Kovinas family, Brown Strelch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Duke Solo said with a frown.
"How could the housekeeper of the Covinus family report Leo Covenas? Isn't this an obvious betrayal, and he is not afraid that he will be stained for the rest of his life?" asked an old man who didn't know much about Leo.
"Hehe, you don't know, that Leo was not actually born to Viscount Covenas, he was driven away by Frank Covinas when Viscount Covinas died, and he can be regarded as self-reliant, so the butler who reported him is not considered a betrayal. "Nathaniel is worthy of being the senator in charge of managing the internal affairs of the nobles, and he has a certain understanding of the affairs of the Covinus family.
"Hiss~, so it's very likely that Frank Govinas was instructed by Frank Covenus behind that housekeeper and wanted to crucify Leo to death completely?" Several old men looked at each other, and their faces all looked like this, after all, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the inheritance struggle of some big families.
"No, you're wrong, it's not like that. Duke Solo raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, straightened out his words and continued: "Although Frank Covinus inherited the family, after being demoted by the Senate and recovering part of his fief, he returned to the Academy of Magic to study magic, which Dean Roman should know. ”
When Duke Solo said this, one of the old men nodded and agreed to prove that he was none other than the Roman Dean of the Varu Imperial Academy of Magic.
"The affairs of the Covinas family are all handled by the butler Brown Streich, so it is clear that this matter is Brown's own idea. When Duke Solo said this, several old men frowned.
"It looks like it's really that Brown backstabbing!" Dean Roman snapped, after all, Frank was his student, and if such an undishonorable thing happened to the Covinus family, it would definitely be a major blow to Frank, and he didn't want to see a magical genius distracted by such a thing.
"That's right, that Brown butler didn't just use Frank's trust to control all the affairs of the Covinus family. In fact, after a detailed investigation, my men discovered that there was a conspiracy of the Strachrich family hidden in it!" Duke Solo aroused the interest of the old men as if he were telling a story.
"Streich has been in the service of the Covenus family for generations, but since Brown's father, Norman Streich, he has taken advantage of Viscount Covenas's trust in him to quietly erode the Covenus family's fortune. After the mysterious death of Norman Stritch, Brown continued to serve as a butler, and also took over his father's secret plan, and now I am afraid that the Covinus family is about to be wiped out, and all that remains is to get rid of the only two remaining stumbling blocks of the Covenus family, so that Streich can turn into a natural and legal receiver of the Covinus family. ”
This story made everyone present shudder, this is simply a parasite lying in the family body, and it is about to kill its master. This is also the public enemy of all nobles, no matter which family will not want such a thing to happen to their own family.
"This kind of thing will never be tolerated!" said Dean Roman as he slammed up from his seat and said angrily.
"Of course, but if we strike Brown now, will someone deliberately distort it to fight the whistleblower for Leo and the crown prince?"
"Then make this completely public, Martin's incitement, Brown's betrayal are all public, as long as we can come up with real evidence, we will make the people of the empire believe it!" Dean Roman is not only worried about the crown prince, but also involves a genius magician from his own academy, of course he can't sit idly by.
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
An old man who was hidden in the center of the empire, with high power or control of one side, agreed with Dean Roman's proposal that those arrogant post-party parties should no longer be allowed to slander the crown prince, otherwise it would hit the majesty of the royal family.
"Everyone, everyone, please calm down, if you tear your face so roughly, it will upset the balance and prompt those rear parties to take more drastic measures, and then it will bring an even greater blow to our already weakened empire!" Duke Solo hurriedly dissuaded.
"For the sake of the Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, we have endured a lot, but, they are aggressive, and now they are also hitting the crown prince, this is absolutely intolerable, we must cut off their black hands and guard the last hope of our imperial family!" Dean Roman retorted righteously.
With the support of many old men, Dean Roman's proposal was forcibly passed. When the participants left one by one, Nathaniel gently patted his old friend on the shoulder: "Don't worry, since everyone has agreed to make a move, let's try our best to control the impact of the matter in our hands!"
Duke Solo raised his head and said with a sad face: "I'm afraid that things will backfire, our queen can hold the entire court in her hands, how can she be such an easy person? The empire can't stand the toss!"
"No matter what you say, you can't let those rear parties wantonly smear the reputation of the crown prince, otherwise it will bring a bigger blow to the imperial family!" Nathaniel obviously understood that this was a dilemma, no matter how he was chosen, those rear parties would not give up.
Just as Duke Solo was worried, after learning that several of his subordinates who spread rumors had disappeared inexplicably, Marquis Roy knew that it must be the Imperial Supervision Department that had quietly intervened, but now that the rumors have become increasingly noisy and spreading, Marquis Roy simply ordered those subordinates to all lurk and not show up again.
Within a few days, the Marquis of Roy was shocked to find that the rumors circulating in the market had unconsciously changed their flavor and turned into a discussion of the identities of the two whistleblowers.
When the heels and intentions of the two whistleblowers were fully discovered, people woke up in the after-dinner chatter, and both reports seemed to be deliberately aimed at Baron Leo and Crown Prince Raymond. Especially after Brown's betrayal behavior was revealed, it caused an uproar in the upper aristocratic circles, and the vigilant nobles examined their own slaves, and after several nobles really found out that they had a similar situation, it was a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the angry nobles wrote to the Imperial Senate one after another, strongly demanding that the initiators behind it be severely punished.
