Like Frederick, Braischroeder believed in individual will and elitism, he did not wait for opportunities, he only toiled to create them, and then waited for the luck to fly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now, the central bank, which had grown strong during the Seven Years' War, is poised to take off, the royal family, struggling with internal and external troubles, has succumbed, and its old enemy, Frederick, is in the midst of a scandal and cannot get out. The golden time has come for Braischroeder.

Success or failure, honor and disgrace, fight here.

――――――――――――――――――――

The indictment of Frederick is proceeding at a rapid pace. Although this is a secret accusation, Wiener still spreads, and Frederick has a scandal about the lawsuit caused by the peachy news. The well-informed aristocrats had already deduced the sentence after dinner. It was unsettling for young people who were concerned about the case to hear from their elders that Frederick was facing a prison sentence of three to five years.

Great danger befell her, and in the last few days, Felia suddenly vanished. She was locked up in the castle by her father and forbidden to go out. Admiral Farina is determined to defend his daughter's reputation and is determined to sever Filia's relationship with the scandal.

While Braischroedt was entertaining the commissioners in Paris and London, Frederick received a summons from the Royal Supreme Court and was told that he had been jointly indicted by fifteen parliamentarians, and that the trial would begin three days later.

"You are charged with intentional injury and sexual assault. We have to restrict your personal liberty before the trial. "The gendarmes showed Frederick a summons issued by Justice Francis.

"What crime?" Frederick didn't hear clearly, for the crime looked like a train.

"It's the most decent charge we can come up with, please don't ask again. The gendarmes carried out the order helplessly: "Please come with us." ”

Frederick remembered the day of his mad love, and Felia writhed in his arms and said, "I'll tell you ...... you if you're going to prison like this."

This sentence only made him more excited and interesting at the time, but it turned out to be a big truth. Frederick thought about it now, and still found it exciting, thinking that Filia's telling the truth was the most unbearable.

Then he held out his hands: "I will not embarrass you. Let's go. ”

The gendarmes handcuffed him with respect and took him away.

Otto went to Bafaria to be the governor, and only his sister was left in charge of the mansion. Ophelia chased him outside the mansion without saying a word, and watched Frederick be escorted into the car by the gendarmes. When Frederick stepped into the carriage with one foot, he turned to his sister and said, "Don't worry about me. Continue to plan loans, and in my name, to help the devastated peasants and angry workers; ”

The gendarmes stood on the sidelines and waited for the brothers and sisters to say goodbye.

Ophelia trotted over, rubbed her brother's hand with her bow, and told Frederick, "I will only allow you to go to jail for one year, no matter what the judge says." ”

Frederick suspects that Nizi is trying to storm the Royal Prison. As Ophelia took the helm of the bank, she became more and more resolute in her execution, and gradually established a tenacious prestige that she would follow through on what she decided.

"Underestimate your brother. I was in jail for half a year at most. Frederick grinned toothily and boarded the carriage with his head held high.

Ophelia let go of his hand, and there was a throbbing of her heart.

Because of his pure blood and good military records, Frederick had a good reputation in military circles, and the gendarmes were very polite to him, and they gave him generous hospitality when he was placed under house arrest.

Griffith soon came to visit Frederick, and after he had repelled the gendarmes, he pulled out a stack of reports from his bag, spread them on the coffee table, and said straight to the point: "This information should not have been shown to you, but my father instructed me to divulge some of it to you." This is the report of the investigation on the scene of the gendarmerie headquarters, this is the transcript of the complaint of the prosecution and this is the preliminary analysis given at the internal meeting. Take a look. ”

Frederick picked up the information and read it quickly at a glance. These internal documents corroborate each other and make the facts of the case very clear: there were signs of violence at the scene, stimulants were detected in the drinks, and it was initially assumed that the drugs were artificially administered. After several interrogations, the on-site investigation team ruled out the suspicion of poisoning the rest of the personnel one by one, and proved with a finger-thick alibi and subpoena confession that the suspects who put the drugs could only be Frederick, Fillia and the Countess.

Griffith, who was too distraught to sit down, stood in front of the bed, turned his back to Frederick, and said, "The military department has visited the Countess and obtained valid testimony that the Countess is willing to prove that her drink was safe and sound during your meeting, and agrees to prove that you have not poisoned the wine." ”

Frederick put down the classified papers, carefully protecting them from getting dirty and wet, and then said in frustration: "She would have given testimony in my favor." ”

"Yes. Griffith said bitterly, "That countess is protecting you." In this way, the only person who puts the medicine in the cup is Filia. Frederick, I don't believe that Felia would do such a shameful thing. I also don't want the public to think that my sister is a man who is drugged with men. ”

"It wasn't Filia who did it. Frederick looked up.

"Then you admit that you did it. Take your responsibilities like a brave German. It is your duty to protect Philia, and since you like her, fulfill your duty to me. Griffith turned and turned into a silhouette in the sunlight, so that Frederick could not see his expression clearly: "Didn't you apologize to my father? What we need is responsibility, and we need you to step up and save Filia's reputation. If the public had heard half a word suggesting 'Filia seduced the First Earl with drugs,' she would have been ashamed to take poison in her bedroom. ”

Frederick frowned and thought that it was only Countess Xiaoqian who was drugged. But Xiao Qian was very clever to come forward to protect Frederick, and to a certain extent, he deceived the public's sympathy and trust, and if Frederick turned his face and accused Xiao Qian, his credibility would be greatly reduced.

And Filia's reputation is what he cherishes the most, and it is also what Admiral Farina and Griffith try to protect at all costs. No matter how bold and careful Frederick was, no matter how good he was at speculation, he didn't want to gamble with Filia's reputation.

The simplest and most powerful way is for Frederick to respond to the audience's conjecture by admitting that it was the men, not the women, who put the stimulants into the cups. In this way, the public will buy it 100%, and Filia will become a victim, bathed in the sympathy of society, and barely escape the turmoil.

Wanting Frederick to confess was Farina's intention to leak internal documents, and it was also the intention of Griffith's visit to prison. The tension and anticipation in this, Frederick understood in two seconds.

And Braischroed's arrangement also took advantage of Farina's love for his daughter, so that he could endure the pain of sacrificing Frederick, only in this way could Frederick not be able to enjoy the protection of the military department, and only in this way could Braischroeder accurately drop firepower on Frederick alone. After all, only Frederick would get in the way of the signing of the loan, only Frederick had insight into the ambitions of the bankers, and only Frederick was the enemy of the central bank.

Probably only Breschroeder, who was coldly watching the situation, could skillfully avoid the cobweb-like protective relationship and plan such a precise targeted strike. Except for Frederick, no one else was offended.

After five minutes of silent thought, Frederick suddenly said, "Breschroeder is an opponent to be taken seriously." ”

"You've liked Filia for a long time, and I'm not against you being together. I'm also willing to assume, suppose you're framed. But others don't think so, and out of the three suspects, only the two of you are messing around. Xiao Qian had no motive at all, and her suspicion had long been ruled out internally. Griffith softened, sat down on the couch opposite, and began to plead, "You coveted the beauty of the knight, and you did something stupid. This kind of thing is the script that the audience wants to believe. And after you admit it, the military department will intervene in the sentencing and sentence you to up to three years in prison. Your father will also help you meet the conditions for a reduced sentence, and you will be released from prison in about a year. As long as you admit it, it was you who did the excesses, and Filia is the poor victim. ”

Frederick didn't speak, he was still deducing, assuming that Xiao Qian was Breschroed's pawn, then what was the purpose of Breschroeder's exhaustion in laying such a big trap?

Seeing that Frederick didn't speak, Griffith couldn't help but make an offer: "My father and I are willing to put aside the truth, as long as you agree to confess, we will not only be not guilty of the past, but will also ensure that you are transferred to any department you want to go to......"

Frederick came back from his musings and saw Griffith's anxious gaze. He calmly explained: "I was thinking about something else just now, and I wasn't waiting for a price, you probably misunderstood." I liked Filia very much, and would do anything for her, and I was afraid that she would be pointed at by a thousand husbands, and I regretted that I had involved her. I read the documents you gave me carefully, and since you can't prove that it was done by Vickers and Braeschroder, then there is no point in me making a fuss, so I will confess my guilt for the time being, and carry the black pot for a while, so that Filia will be less tormented. I'll put this debt on Breschroeder's head, and I'll settle accounts with him, and you don't have to make any price or say thank you, it's something I really want to do. ”

"Are you really willing to carry the cauldron?" said Griffith, uneasy, to repeat it.

"It's not a black cauldron," Frederick patted his brother on the shoulder, laughing and comforting him, "I coveted Filia's beauty. ”

Griffith didn't know what to answer, and if he had heard the phrase "I had coveted Philia's beauty" a few days ago, he would have immediately carried out the tenets of Philia's cult and burned the men who had blasphemed Philia, but the situation was so delicate that he couldn't lose his temper.

"I've come to believe that you'll always be good to her. Griffith was cold for a long time before he stood up and reached out to shake it: "If you are willing to protect her forever, I will love the house and Udi to protect you a little." ”

"I'll also love the house and Udi and respect you a little. Frederick shook hands with his brother and sneered at each other.

Griffith couldn't hold back his face, for the first time he couldn't maintain a rigid military posture, Wan Er smiled, he nodded happily, bent down to pack up the classified documents, and asked succinctly and neatly before leaving: "You are so down, why are you still in the mood to joke?"

"Have you ever skied?" replied Frederick, bowing his head and tidying up the coffee table, "stepping on the sled, flying down from a great height, falling in the wind, cutting his face, but having gathered strength, he was able to rush up another slope with great strength." ”

Then Frederick looked up at Griffith: "It's the same with life. Ups and downs are the norm, and all are beneficial. ”

Griffith's heart was thrilled with power, as if he had seen a glimpse of a great ambition. He didn't open his mouth to compliment, but nodded away, and walked down the prison corridor, only the monotonous sound of leather shoes echoed, but he was buzzing and thinking:

"Obviously in the stormy seas, he is calm and steady, like a giant ship. Even if this kind of person goes into the wilderness, he is strategizing, and once he goes out of the mountain, he will definitely be shocked. I was mistaken - Filia wasn't on a shipwreck, she was on an ark. (To be continued.) )
