Chapter Ninety-Six

A few days later, news spread through Keane's territory. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that Crick Keane has contacted some of the suitors whom he felt were relatively weak and would not pose much of a threat to the Keanes, and was going to hold a drinking party for them to meet with Miss Anna Keane and talk to each other in order to finalize the marriage.

This thing is just a rumor, but it has a nose and eyes, and it is very true. Many suitors who got the news hurriedly sent people to investigate, and then found a lot of clues.

So, these people who were sent out to investigate hurried back to report, and the suitors who got the news contacted each other, and each other's news corroborated each other, which proved the matter even more.

So, the suitors couldn't hold back and discussed how to deal with it.

In a makeshift tent outside Keane, Connor Griffin from the Duchy of Griffons listened to his subordinates' report, his face turned cold, and the good mood he had just vented was gone.

He sat on a chair made of tranquilizing incense wood, and his body was hung with the precious ice tear pearl from the deep sea, but the combination of the two calming treasures could not suppress the anger and tyranny that rose from the bottom of his heart.

With a slight force on his feet, the sound of bones shattering came from the woman he used as a footpad. This woman was the fruit of his hunt this morning, and he wanted to save it for the evening, but now he can't.

Perhaps for this woman, it is a happier thing to be able to die so easily, but Connor's mood is getting worse and worse, and his eyes are becoming more and more tyrannical.

"That one named Crick dared not send me an invitation?" he asked coldly, "Who gave him the guts?"

No one answered, and his subordinates all knew the temper of this uncle, and if he answered at this time, it would be easy for him to vent his anger.

Life is so precious, no one wants to die here in a daze.

Connor Griffin was the most prominent of the suitors, the younger brother of the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Griffon, who had four sons, but was one of the de jure heirs of a nation anyway. With his identity, to marry a mere baroness is really enough to give face.

In reality, however, Connor did not even send an official note, and according to Keane's official records, the tent belonged to a merchant named William.

The main reason for coming so stealthily is that Connor's reputation is too bad.

The prince of the Duchy of Griffons has a series of vicious nicknames such as "Griffon's Beast", "Evil Wolf", "Man-eater", and ...... If it weren't for his esteemed status, these nicknames would have been even more ugly.

His mother was a spy from the Orc Empire, a half-orc of werewolf blood, who was caught by the previous griffon Grand Duke when she infiltrated the court disguised as a handmaiden. Supposedly, the spy should have been put to death, but the previous Grand Duke of Griffon, who was tired of playing with human women, was interested in exotic werewolves, so he made an exception and left her dead.

After a few months that were not suitable for discussion, the woman became pregnant. But instead of giving in, she kept resisting. Later, the previous archduke of griffons made her completely incapable of resisting, so she cursed, and kept cursing, cursing the previous archduke of griffons, and also cursing the child.

In the end, in order to make the child born smoothly, the former griffon archduke cut open the body of the female werewolf who had been tired of playing, and let the evil mage who majored in necromancy use an eerie spell to instill all of the woman's life force into the baby who was less than a month old, so that the child could survive, and gave him the name Connor.

Connor's talent in martial arts is good, he is now nearly forty years old, he is already a high-level warrior, and he has also achieved a little in magic, and has advanced to become a rare magic swordsman. It's just that his character is tyrannical and vicious, and he often gets angry over trivial things and commits all kinds of brutal acts.

At first, the former Grand Duke of Griffons studied the child's behavior with great interest, but when he focused on his independence, he lost interest in Connor. After his death, he was succeeded by his eldest son, the contemporary Grand Duke of Griffon, who had no affection for this cruel and tyrannical brother, and was so busy with government affairs that he simply ignored Connor and left him to fend for himself.

If this continues, Connor will probably become a marginal figure in the royal family for the rest of his life, with money and status, but no actual power, and probably no fiefdom. Unless he can break through to the legendary realm, this life will be like this.

Connor certainly didn't want to go on like this, so when he heard that Barony Keane, the "Pearl of Thunder", was seeking a marriage, he was moved.

With his status and status, marrying a mere baron, of course, is no problem at all. No matter how bad his reputation is, it will not affect his status as the prince of the Duchy of Griffon. But Connor knew that his reputation was ridiculously bad, and if he proposed to him seriously, he would probably try to turn it down. So he decided to hide his identity first, and then wait until the critical moment to suddenly reveal his identity in public, and directly coerce Anna Keane to marry him.

As for when the "critical moment" was, and whether it would be smooth at that time? These questions were a bit too profound for him, and he didn't want to pay attention to them, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

But this definitely does not mean that he is a fool, Crick Keane concealed most of the suitors, secretly contacted those suitors who had no background background to hold a drinking party, obviously trying to take advantage of the fact that everyone had not yet discussed it, and directly set things down, so as not to have too many dreams at night - of course, it could also be that the sick ghost was already dying, and had to hurry up to get the big things done.

Connor didn't bother to think carefully about Crick Keane's thoughts, and he was now thinking about how to determine the time and place of the reception.

As long as the time and place of the drinking party are determined, he will break in directly at that time, what can a barony do to him?

If that Crick Keane knew each other, if he didn't know each other, he would just snatch the little girl named Anna away, and wait until he gave birth to a child and then come back to inherit the title, simple and clear!

This is the method that the "fierce beast" came up with.

On the other hand, Duruk Ritchie from the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce remained silent when he heard the news, and the son of the big businessman was still smiling and eating, and he didn't even tremble in his hand holding the knife and fork.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being able to come back alive from the battlefield of 'The Day the Sun Goes Out', and he can really see clearly and make a decision!" After eating, he slowly wiped his mouth, washed his face and hands, refreshing and refreshing, and drank after-dinner tea with an elegant temperament that was diametrically opposed to his bloated appearance.

He appreciated Crick's decision, but he couldn't accept it.

The simple reason is that he was not invited.

Although he knew that he would definitely not be invited—because he would definitely take over the Keane family when he got married, and even that he was ready to kill Anna when she gave birth, which was in fact the plan that the Richie family had pre-designed—he was still upset when it came to pass.

"Go and check carefully, when and where the party will be held, and don't care about the cost. He said to some of his right-hand men, "After finding out, let it be announced to me, so that everyone who comes to propose will know." ”

He paused, smiling and looking north of the city, the tent that no one in the know wanted to approach.

"Especially over there. (To be continued.) )
