Chapter 34: A Conspiracy Against the Marquis
Marquis Ludwig glanced at the angry Count Berto, and he asked expressionlessly, "How many have died?" Count Berto snorted coldly and replied, "Sixteen!"
The Marquis shook his head: "No, it should be fifty-seven!" As soon as these words came out, not only Archduke Otto was puzzled, but even Count Berto and Ram were puzzled, but the Count pondered for a while and asked suddenly: "Those two men and one woman?"
The Marquis sighed and stood up, he quietly looked at Ram, who was already sitting there, and said, "Actually, I should have killed you the most!" As soon as the Marquis's words were finished, Ram felt that the world seemed to have turned dark.

The marquis turned to look at the earl, and the earl said helplessly: "It seems that I provoked you first!" Then he shook his head and said: "Even if there is something wrong with me in this matter, it has always been our Earl's Mansion that suffers, and it seems that your people have not been harmed in any way!"
Grand Duke Otto sighed, he knew he would have to wait to figure it out.
Count Berto sneered and asked, "Your Excellency Marquis, can I ask those people about the relationship with you? You know, it was a few of them who made the first move, and we were just passively on guard!"
The Marquis replied expressionlessly: "That man is the child of my old acquaintance!" Count Berto sneered: "It turns out that it is only your old acquaintance, and I am going to lose fifty-seven loyal subordinates, do you think this is fair?"
The Marquis nodded and replied, "I don't think it's fair!" He smiled and continued, "I don't think I've killed enough people!"
The earl's face instantly turned iron-blue, and he laughed loudly: "It turns out that it is not enough, then please continue to kill, I will see how many people in our family can you kill in the end!"
The Marquis interrupted the Earl with a wave of his hand, he looked at the Count and said, "That man once saved my life, and I have not been able to repay it so far, if you really hurt his child, then I think you will definitely pray to die quickly!"
The Count bit his lip and smiled, he walked out, but Archduke Otto stopped him, Archduke Otto asked the Marquis indifferently: "Your Excellency, Marquis, have you lost your anger? Do you really want Bavaria to be in chaos now?"
Marquis Ludwig glanced at Archduke Otto, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
Grand Duke Otto said solemnly: "Say what you ask!"
Marquis Ludwig looked at the count who was standing aside coldly and said, "Chalongdao, my family's goods are tax-free!"
The earl smiled, shook his head and replied, "Let's go to war!"
Then he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Half tax on goods not more than one million gold coins per year!"
The Marquis was silent for a while: "Including Duke Along!"
The Earl laughed, shook his head and replied, "I can't be the master!"
The Marquis glanced at Viscount Ram, who was sitting there trembling, and asked, "Can you call the shots?"
Viscount Ram glanced at the earl and nodded helplessly, but he hurriedly shouted: "At most, thirty percent will be exempted!"
The marquis nodded at the two, and the earl interjected: "That second butler must die!"
The Marquis muttered for a moment, nodded silently, and then turned to Archduke Otto. Archduke Otto's face was ugly, and he said to the Marquis: "Your request is satisfied, then I would like to ask Your Excellency the Marquis, should you give me an explanation for the use of troops in the city of Twilight?"
The marquis smiled and said, "I'll give you one!"
Grand Duke Otto shook his head and replied: "No, all the cavalry involved must die!"
The Marquis smiled and said, "These cavalrymen have all participated in the war in the Land of Icefields, you are sure to kill them!"
Archduke Otto smirked: "Why not, can all the soldiers who have participated in the Land of the Ice Fields do whatever they want in my territory?"
The Marquis thought for a moment, sighed, and then left the room on his own, the eyes of Archduke Otto behind him becoming colder and colder.
The Count sighed and said to Ram, "Let's go too!" Ram quickly stood up and said to Archduke Otto, "I will go back with my uncle!"
Grand Duke Otto smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I killed five ice field hares at noon, the meat is very fat, let's have a meal together!"
Ram actually wanted to leave quickly, but the Count immediately nodded and agreed to the Grand Duke.
The three of them sat in the beautifully decorated dining room and finished their lunch with their own hearts. Grand Duke Otto didn't say a word when he ate, and only when he finished eating: "This meal is so boring!"
The Count nodded, but did not speak, and Ram was stopped by the Count's fierce gaze as soon as he tried to speak. The earl asked with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency, if you leave me here for dinner, won't you also want to take the opportunity to reduce the road tax!"
Grand Duke Otto replied without anger: "I didn't mean that, your family and the Aron family have supported me, I don't need to make you feel dissatisfied!"
Count Berto and Viscount Ram glanced at each other, and Viscount Berto stood up and saluted Archduke Otto and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I apologize to you for what I just said!"
Grand Duke Otto smiled and waved his hand to put the matter over, and at this time, the imposing guard walked in, and this time he directly pulled a chair and sat opposite the Grand Duke, and then said: "The Marquis has left and returned to his own territory!"
Grand Duke Otto nodded, not pursuing the guard's disrespect in the slightest, and he slowly spoke: "Only when the Marquis really leaves, can I say something from my heart!" After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly, but both Ram and the Count felt that his laughter was extremely sad.
Count Berto took a deep breath, and he tentatively asked, "Archduke, do you think this matter is too much?"
Archduke Otto's face twitched, and he smiled and replied, "What can I do? I can't go to war with the Marquis, if that happens, Bavaria will be finished!"
After he said this, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and Archduke Otto continued in a hoarse voice: "Your Excellency Marquis is not only warning you this time, but also warning me!"
Viscount Ram finally couldn't hold it back, and he said angrily: "Grand Duke, you can't let him do whatever he wants!"
Archduke Otto smiled and asked, "What can I do? I just said that I can't go to war with him, so what can I do?"
Count Berto was stunned and asked, "The reason why you don't go to war is because you're afraid that you won't be able to defeat the Marquis?"
As soon as he spoke, the guards opposite Archduke Otto burst out with a strong murderous aura, and Viscount Ram also frowned and looked at his uncle, he wondered if his uncle had made the marquis confused, and he dared to say such things!
Archduke Otto's face was also very ugly, he stared at the count and asked, "Please don't underestimate me, I just don't want my anger to prevail over my reason!"
Count Berto glanced at the murderous guards on the side, and asked with a hint of doubt: "You should be the shadow of the legend, I have always been curious, why are you standing in the sun now?"
The guard, called Shadow, did not answer, but Archduke Otto, who was beside him, replied on his behalf: "This is not his will, but my request!"
Count Berto nodded and continued, "I ask for one thing, please arrange for us to go to a safe place, I don't want others to hear our conversation!"
Grand Duke Otto gave Shadow a look, and Shadow nodded and left his seat and walked out of the room, and after a while, he came in and sat down again, nodding again at Grand Duke Otto.
Grand Duke Otto smiled and said to the count, "It's already possible!"
Marquis Berto pondered for a while and said: "King Collins is old, and the third prince has no heirs now, and he wanted Viscount Ram to succeed him some time ago and become his heir!"
After hearing this, Archduke Otto nodded and said to Viscount Ram: "Then congratulations, it seems that you will have the hope of becoming the heir of Reilman!"
Ram nodded excitedly, but before he could speak, the earl said: "The third prince is now the second heir, and my father-in-law hopes to use the power of His Excellency Shadow to help the third prince become the first heir!"
Grand Duke Otto didn't speak, just looked at the shadow sitting opposite, the shadow guard was silent for a while, and then asked, "How many Holy Steps?"
Count Berto shook his head and replied, "There are no Holy Ranks, but there are three or four Heavenly Rank High Ranks!"
After hearing this, the shadow pondered for a while, and replied, "There are two more high-ranking heavenly rank to cooperate with me, and it is foolproof!"
Count Berto nodded, glanced at Archduke Otto and said, "I asked my father-in-law to arrange 5,000 cavalry, and I will also send 10,000 troops to cooperate with your actions!"
Grand Duke Otto shook his head, and he replied: "Not enough, I hope to be able to double!"
Count Berto frowned, and after a while replied, "I'll do my best!"
Viscount Ram next to him agreed: "I'll go and say from my grandfather's side, there is no problem with 10,000 cavalry!"
Count Berto asked, "How are you going to get Duke Aron's cavalry here?"
Archduke Otto laughed: "I will invite a cardinal archbishop to come to Dunnei, and Duke Aron will send someone to escort me!"
Count Berto also laughed: "In terms of scheming, it seems that you are much more powerful than the old duke!" He still didn't say something in his heart, that is, you are much more ruthless than the old duke!
Grand Duke Otto stood up: "I swear by my ancestor Maxim, I will definitely support Viscount Ram when the matter is completed!" After speaking, he stretched out his right hand. Count Berto also stretched out his right hand, Viscount Ram also stretched out his right hand, and the three of them looked at the shadow guard together, but he still didn't move, until Archduke Otto looked at him with sincere eyes, he sighed slightly, and also stretched out his right hand, and the four hands were tightly clasped together, as if holding the heart of the Marquis of Ludwig!
Count Berto said calmly, "Then, I will wait for your order!" After he finished speaking, he saluted Archduke Otto, and left the Grand Duke's palace with Viscount Ram.
