Chapter 311: Undercurrent
"I did some research and got a rough idea of the other party's situation. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Claude recounted bluntly: "That red-eyed boy is called Aaron, he is the same as Miss Angeli, both of them were born in the Kingdom of Chino, of course, the Kingdom of Chino no longer exists, it was annexed by the Clan of Callas..........."
"Pick the point. ”
Prince Led interrupted Claude's narration: "I want to hear the details of how he and Angel got to know!"
Claude glanced at the prince of Liede, bowed his head and said respectfully:
"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”
Although Led Finland is the less favored of the seven princes among the many heirs of His Majesty Arthur, the other party is a direct prince of the Finnish royal family after all, and he is by no means an object that Claude can snub about.
In addition, the port of Kovo was nominally part of the Finnish Empire.
Originally, when Duke Charles was alive, the Finnish Empire had a 'free-range' attitude towards the port of Kovo. However, after the death of Duke Charles, the attitude of the Finnish Empire towards the port of Kovo began to become 'ambiguous'........
To put it simply, the Finnish Empire wanted to swallow up the port of Kłož and reintegrate it into its own system.
It was for this reason that the Finnish Empire sent the Seventh Prince, Led, to try to befriend the nobles of the port of Kovo in order to gain the support of some of the native nobles.
Eventually, Ledt used this part of the nobility to take the port of Covo from the Bakers.
After the loss of Duke Charles Baker, the Baker family was left with only one daughter of Charles and an ordinary aristocratic son-in-law, who did not have enough political power to compete with Prince Lied, who represented the Finnish royal family.
The gap in political strength between the two sides is too great.
This is fully reflected in every time the nobles have a large ball, as long as the prince is present, many nobles at the ball are like flies smelling the cake, and they swarmed around the prince.
Under this circumstance, it will not take long for the prince to gather most of the local nobles and complete the centralization of political power. At that time, it only took one political action by Prince Led, and the enthusiastic response of most of the native nobles, to easily overthrow the rule of the Baker family and become the true master of the port of Kovo.
At that time, Claude, as a 'loyal' subordinate who had always followed Prince Lead, naturally rose in status. Therefore, Claude showed his loyalty to the future master of the port of Covo in front of him.
"That Aaron, originally a fairly ordinary city guard in the territory of Leo in the Kingdom of Chino, his adoptive father was a squad leader, and that adoptive father later disappeared on the eve of the invasion of the Kalas Empire. ”
Later, Aaron's squad was attacked by the Culles Empire's army, and it was unknown what happened to them, only Aaron and another soldier survived and managed to escape back to Leo Castle. ”
Claude carefully recounted, following the other man's thoughts: "Later, Aaron escaped from the castle with Viscount Steve Leo, and organized a group of men to flee the territory together—and Miss Angelie was among them at the time. ”
"From what I've heard, that Aaron was a powerful knight at the time, and he seems to be on good terms with Miss Angelie............"
Hearing this, Lie had to clench the teacup in his hand and said coldly: "How good is their relationship?"
"I heard ........"
Claude lowered his head even deeper: "I heard that the two of them lived in the same carriage every night on the way to escape the war. ”
Bang!!!
Lie pinched the porcelain teacup in his hand stiffly, and his eyes almost erupted with fire.
"Keep talking!"
Claude poured the beans and poured it all out: "That Aaron came to the port of Corvo with Miss Angeli, and then, under the arrangement of the Duke of Charles, he went to sea in the name of his studies—three years ago. ”
"Go to sea?study?three years ago?!"
Prince Led couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, temporarily suppressing the anger in his heart: "Could it be that Aaron is a mystery? If he is really a mystery, this matter will become tricky........"
As he spoke, Prince Led suddenly thought of a key point, and immediately refuted his own speculation:
"No! It's about a week before the ship returns, and it's been like this in previous years, and there have never been exceptions—"
"Because before the "low tide" appears, it is impossible for anyone to cross the fog around the sea!"
Prince Led turned his head to look at the old butler: "Claude, I remember that there is a record book about the time of the return of the mysterious ship, right?"
When Claude heard this, he immediately got up, found a thin booklet from the shelf, and handed it to Prince Led.
Prince Led took the booklet and flipped through it, and sneered: "Sure enough, it is only three years before the last return of the mysterious ship, and it seems that the spaceship has not returned, and that Aaron is not a mystic - he is just a knight who has returned from study." ”
"Even if the spaceship does return early, the leader wizard will definitely find the person in charge of the port......... Claude, have there been any suspicious people in the Baker family lately?"
Claude shook his head and denied: "Your Highness, the Baker family's entry and exit personnel are normal, except for Miss Angeli who brought that Aaron into her manor, no other strangers have entered the Baker family's manor. ”
"Your Highness, Duke Charles is a mystery after all, will the Aaron who arranged for him to go to sea be ............?"
"Hmph, you don't want to tell me that Aaron is the lead wizard, right?"
Prince Led shook his head, and directly denied this speculation in his heart - no kidding, what a leading wizard is, how could that Aaron grow into an official wizard in only three years?
It's just a ridiculous joke!
What's more, the spaceship of the Wizard Continent has not yet returned, and that Aaron is obviously not a mystery, at most a powerful knight.
Even if the other party went to another place and became a wandering mystic, three years would make him a low-level mystic at most.
A low-level mystic, not even as a powerful knight, the prince is not afraid of this kind of goods.
Of course, Prince Led maintained the usual caution of the royal family, and asked cautiously: "That Aaron, is there any information about his knightly realm?"
As a result, Claude reported the information on the surface of the year: "According to what I heard from the Leo family, that Aaron was suspected to be an official knight when he left Hong Kong to study. ”
"Formal knight?"
Prince Liede couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Ha, then he is not even as strong as Angelie?"
At the beginning, Angel helped Aaron deliberately conceal the information of the 'Knight of Will', causing Steve, Joanna and others to mistakenly think that Aaron was just an official knight.
Later, Aaron's help with Angeli's 'seeding' was also not revealed to others, and others thought that Angelie had reached the "quasi-subversive" realm with her own talent, and called Angelie a 'once-in-a-millennium' girl genius.
Therefore, except for Angeli, no one else knew the true situation of Aaron back then.
As for the witches who got off the cloud elephant whale ship, they were in a hurry to return to their hometowns one by one, and they had already quietly left the port of Kovo, and the intelligence network of ordinary people could not catch them at all.
"Your Highness, what do you mean .........."
Claude saw Led's hideous expression, and immediately understood the other party's thoughts, and asked a routine question.
Prince Lyd bowed his head slightly: "I mean, I think you understand, tonight is the birthday of the heiress of the Baker family, and we have to prepare a 'congratulatory gift' to send-"
"You tell Kelly that they're ready. ”
As he spoke, there was a hint of coldness in Prince Liede's eyes:
"In the name of arresting the 'spies'!"
....................
meanwhile
A luxurious and spacious aristocratic manor,
in a guest room
Angel took off her iron armor and changed into a dark black aristocratic dress, sitting opposite Aaron, and told the story of what had happened during this time.
"I see. ”
Aaron nodded lightly: "After the unfortunate death of Duke Charles due to physical reasons, the situation in the port of Covo has become what it is now, and for this reason, you are also ........."
Aaron looked at Angeli, who looked at Angel with a calm face, and couldn't help sighing:
"You and Steve broke off their relationship. ”
