318 The Controversy of the Electors (7)
"The King's Bearer!" Wennataner, who was sitting on the ground, overheard the old servant's words, his eyes bulged out, and his face turned pale and pointed at the fat man, the Wenner family had spent a lot of money to investigate the information about the true red light of the Duai family. Stumbled upon information about the King's Ring. The matter of the eldest lady of the family back then caused a stir within the family, and naturally it was not hidden from the eyes of the Wenner family, and it was natural to speculate some of the secrets in cooperation with the news that he got secretly
The fat man winked like Hukochi, "Flutter." A bloody arrow poured out from the neck of the suspicious Wennataner, and he finished dealing with it. Hukochili dragged the two bodies out of the hall, and the two pools of bright red blood seemed to tell the sorrow of their master,
The old duke stood there, like a soulless puppet, looking thoughtfully into the fat man's eyes. seemed to want to see something, and after half a sound, he sat down helplessly, his haggard face hung down, and only there was a trace of brilliance in his eyes
"Allensteen, you go down first". The old duke waved his hand to his granddaughter beside him, the question behind it was too cruel, the old man didn't want Allensteen to come into contact with these shady things, Allensteen should live in the sun, she didn't belong to the darkness. The hall was silent, but something unseen and untouchable lingered, and the oppressors were breathless.
"You killed him?". The old duke's voice was low, almost like it had been squeezed out of his throat, and the old voice echoed in the hall, a pair of fiery eyes staring at the fat man, his eyes flashing with hesitation, pain, struggle, and his fingers clenched on the wooden bench. There was a slight creak
The atmosphere in the hall was strange, and the old servant seemed to hear something from the strange words of the old master. His body shook slightly, and his eyes stared at the fat man with cold eyes
The fat man was silent, obviously he heard what the old duke meant, the fat man wanted to admit it, but in front of a father to admit that he killed his son with his own hands, what kind of cruel thing was that, even the fat man, a murderous character, felt a heavy pressure like a mountain,
The old duke seemed to see the struggle in the fat man's heart, and asked in a low voice, "He is very strong, not only me, but even most of the nobles in Kyoto think that he will become the new King of Vecchia, but he falls from the sky like a meteor in your hands! Was he defeated by something in the end? Even if it was a request from a father who had lost his son!"
"He was defeated by the Samour infantry crossbow!" The fat man finally nodded hesitantly, and said in a deep voice, "He is very strong, but unfortunately his fate is destined to be impossible to become a king! It is not me who defeats him, but this era, everyone has their own fate, it is not me who defeats him, but his fate, his era!"
"Era?" the old duke frowned slightly, chewing hard at the fat man's novel explanation, his eyes suddenly burst out with a divine light, looking at the fat man, "Although this explanation is very far-fetched, it is the best explanation! What about you? What is your era?" The old duke's heavy face was slightly raised, and his eyes were like stars in the night, and it was hard to believe that such a pair of godly eyes would be a dying old man
"My time is the entire continent of Irenya!" the fat man said in a high voice, "I want to make Vekia the most powerful kingdom on the continent, and maybe one day, I will also go with my own time." But I don't regret it, at least I tried. I have fought and carved my own mark on this era with my own efforts!"
The fat man's voice paused, and he said, "But before that, I want to ask the Duke for a favor! As long as the Duke is willing to agree to my request, I can guarantee that the Duai family will be even more brilliant than it is now!"
"Oh. The old Duke Duai's face was surprised, and his voice raised a little, he didn't expect the young man in front of him to have such great ambitions, his bright eyes paused on the fat man's face, and the corners of his mouth smiled, "My grandson, the honorable Falcon Marquis Dustan, now except for the title of duke that may be taken away by the royal family at any time, the Duai family should have nothing that can arouse your interest."
"Lord Duke is really wise!" the fat man's eyes showed surprise, but he didn't expect that he had already guessed his intention before he could speak. couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but Duke Duai on the other side didn't answer, but waved his hand to the fat man, and said solemnly, "I need some time to think about this matter, and I will call you back within three days at the latest!"
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll wait for news from Lord Duke" The fat man saw that Duke Duai did not directly refuse, and his heart finally let go. Standing up and walking out, he was suddenly shouted by the Duke of Duai
"I heard that the Jones family of the North is married to you. The Duke of Duai asked nonchalantly. The fat man nodded disappreciatively and responded, "Yes, the marriage was made in Kyoto last November."
"Last November?" The old duke's face was a little ugly, which made the fat man's heart rise again, and he secretly scolded himself for being confused, wasn't it a war with the nobles' private army in November last year, and mentioning it at this time was tantamount to sprinkling salt on the wound, making the relationship that had just eased tense again,
"Don't go back yet!, it's too loud. The old duke finally spoke again, "Recently, there have always been people who like to trouble the Duai family, although Allensteen is the heir of the family. But now there is no one, there is no escort knight, you can take this responsibility first!" The old duke looked at the fat man with a stern look in his eyes and said, "This year's hunting season is Allenstin's sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, if Allensteen has any accidents during this period, our cooperation will be canceled!"
"Lord Duke agreed?" The fat man heard the taste in Duke Duai's tone, and nodded with a happy face, "Please rest assured Lord Duke, I have brought hundreds of guards this time." No matter who it is, as long as someone threatens Miss Allenstin's safety, they will not hesitate to cut him!" "Don't always slash and kill!" Duke Duai said with a soothing face, "You are in other places, I can't control it, but during this time in Kyoto, as the heir of my Duai family, the necessary etiquette and basic aristocratic interactions are still required, otherwise other families will laugh at us!"
"Oh" the fat man replied miserably on his face, aristocratic banquets and etiquette are the things that the fat man hates the most, as long as he thinks of the cumbersome etiquette upbringing, the fat man feels big.
The fat man walked out of the hall of the mansion, and the old servant followed from behind, and took the fat man to the backyard of the mansion, and the accompanying Samar Guards cavalry were placed in the knightly quarters of the family
The shadow of the street outside the residence of the Duke of Duai. A carriage stopped silently. A pair of fierce eyes stared at the Duke of Duai's mansion.
When Tyrnalant saw the fat man enter the Duai family mansion, his eyes almost burst into flames, but the hundreds of guards at the door made him not dare to get too close, so he could only watch from a distance, and after a while, Tirnaran ordered to the coachman with a gloomy face, "Let's go, go to Lord Wenner's mansion!"
