"Your Excellency, why should we summon those former ministers of the royal family of Lorraine? that kind of nobles corrupted by power are not enough to accomplish anything, and maybe they will cause us some trouble!" Just after Count Mason left, a dark archon could not hold back the doubts in his heart and asked the Dark Speaker.

Of course, I know that those old royal forces can't make it, but although these guys can't do much business, they are very good at messing with things that drag their feet. What I need is for them to try to disrupt the Kingdom of Pritz as much as possible so that we can do things more conveniently. ”

The Dark Speaker will not be naïve enough to believe that those rotten nobles can bring him any help, but even waste has a little bit of use, and what these nobles are best at is not to cause chaos? As long as they make a mess for the Pritz Kingdom, so that the Pridz Kingdom does not have the energy to pay attention to the movements of the Dark Council.

In fact, just as the Dark Speaker had hoped, Mason left and headed straight back to King Lorraine, first visiting General Lawrence. As the former commander of the Janissaries of the Royal City, General Lawrence had no choice but to retire after losing the trust of King Fairman and being stripped of his command. But after all, he was also an old man who had been with King Fairman for many years, and after General Lawrence retired, he did not resent King Fairman, because he knew that Leo was the devil who caused everything, and if it weren't for him, King Fairman would not have been so unkind to depose himself and appoint that Michel Ney as the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

With the connections and resources accumulated by the Lawrence family for several generations, General Lawrence had a good time in the royal city, but the next series of sudden changes made the old general unable to understand. First, King Fairman returned to heaven, Prince Peake inherited the throne, and then King Peake and Prince Nick both died in an unknown way, but that damned Leo forcibly annexed the Kingdom of Lorraine with a small Principality of Pritz.

General Lawrence wanted to rally the old army and those nobles loyal to the royal family of Lorraine to rebel against Pritz's rule, but unfortunately Master Merlin and the Tang Legion that followed made General Lawrence completely dispel this idea.

Mage Merlin's movements were as swift as thunder, and almost all the nobles who dared to show their heads against Pritz were killed or imprisoned, especially after seeing the elite and incomparable ranks of soldiers of the Tang Legion, the slightest flame of resistance in General Lawrence's heart was completely extinguished.

Such an elite legion was simply not something that the weak soldiers of Lorraine could defeat, and the mages who were proud of the Kingdom of Lorraine switched sides and threw themselves into the arms of the Kingdom of Pritz under the guidance of Master Merlin. The magicians who pursued the truth and the mysteries of magic did not care as much about who would rule the country as much as the nobles and the soldiers. Only the esoteric theories explained by Master Merlin, as well as the materials for magical experiments that Pritz City constantly provided, really attracted the magicians.

Although Mason knew that General Lawrence had always been timid and that it would be difficult to cooperate with him, there was no better choice now. The princes and nobles who were able to wield one side and the big families with strong roots were almost all purged by Master Merlin, and only those like General Lawrence, who were not taken seriously by Master Merlin, survived.

"Lord Lawrence, there's Earl Mason of the Clayton family asking to see you outside the door!" an old-fashioned old butler entered Lawrence's room and bowed down to report to Lawrence, who was teasing the flowers and birds.

"Well, Mason Clayton, that poor little fellow of Fort Rose, I can't believe that he survived the Prytzian purge, what a blessing!" Hearing the familiar surname of Clayton gave General Lawrence a look of remembrance in his eyes.

"Please let him in, since they are all old people from the old country, if you can remember to come and see me, an inconspicuous guy, he will have a heart. ”

The butler bowed again, and invited Count Mason, who was waiting at the door, into the drawing-room room of the Lawrence house. It was only after General Lawrence had dressed up and put on his old military uniform and civilian clothes that he came out to meet Count Mason.

"Good day, Dear Uncle Lawrence!" Mason immediately stood up at the sight of General Lawrence and greeted him politely.

"Haha, little Mason, the little naughty bastard back then has now become such a handsome and good young man, I believe your father will be very pleased in the kingdom of God!" General Lawrence's words made Mason's eyes red involuntarily.

When he followed his father, the old Earl of Clayton, into the royal city, and the scene of meeting King Fairman returned to Mason's mind as if it were yesterday, and those deliberately forgotten memories were turned over again, and Mason's heart was immediately filled with boundless grief and sorrow, and he was stunned there for a while.

Looking at Mason's distracted appearance, as well as the complicated emotions in his eyes, General Lawrence sighed, he had experienced Mason's emotions before. It's a pity that the first king has passed away, and all kinds of the old country have only appeared in a dream.

Mason, who had been standing in the living room for a long time, finally broke free from his grief and apologized to General Lawrence: "I'm very sorry, Uncle Lawrence, I couldn't help but wander when I thought of my father, Rose Castle and our Kingdom of Lorraine. ”

"Well, that's all in the past, little Mason, and don't think much about the past. Did you come to me for something?" asked General Lawrence, changing the subject.

"Yes, Uncle Lawrence!" Mason said to General Lawrence, "I have come here for an important matter that needs your help. ”

"Oh, is there anything I can do to help you? You know, Uncle Lawrence is not the commander of the Praetorian Guard now, and now I'm just a bad old man!" General Lawrence subconsciously wanted to avoid the question.

After a long time in officialdom, he subconsciously knew that Mason would definitely not come to visit him without incident, but what could these noble children have to do with him back then? No matter what it was, I am afraid it would bring trouble to Lawrence.

Mason didn't hear the rejection in Lawrence's words, or even if he did, he had to pretend not to understand, anyway, now there is enough prestige in Lorraine to gather the old nobles, I'm afraid it must be General Lawrence. In order to fulfill the agreement with the Dark Speaker, Mason is imperative.
