Chapter 146: Refusal

"Actually, it doesn't matter what the title is. Ogden's words changed: "I'm sorry for you, you must know that this family business is your mother's hard work, if it weren't for your mother's family's strong support, the eldest brother wouldn't be able to do the position of barony, so only you are eligible to inherit the title, Sophia, that slut, what did she pay?"

Barrick was indignant by Ogden's words, yes, this is his mother's property, why was it taken away by Sophia for nothing? But, how can he deal with Sophia? Barrick's eyes suddenly lit up, although his mother has died, but his mother's people are still there, if he goes to them, he should not be refused.

Barrick happily told Ogden what he thought, and after Ogden heard it, he pondered for a long time before he said to Barrick: "In this case, you contact that side first, and then what you should do, I will talk to them." But don't talk about it, once Sophia's slut knows, you won't have a chance. ”

When Barrick saw that his idea was approved, he was overjoyed, and thought that he had thought of a brilliant idea, so he rushed out to arrange for men.

Ogden watched Barrick leave, leaned heavily in his chair, and exhaled a long breath, in fact, he deliberately guided Barrick to think in this direction, because at this moment things were clearly out of his control, Don suddenly changed his style for some reason, and began to become high-profile, unabashedly biased in favor of Sophia.

In this way, Ogden's attempt to get rid of Sophia with his own strength has become an impossible thing, and Federes alone can make Ogden have nothing to do. In desperation, Ogden could only unite other forces, although the benefits would be much less, but it was much better than nothing at all.

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the situation in the central castle seems to be very calm, Sophia has to get up before dawn every day to deal with some chores, but she is not as diligent as before, at most she is busy for half a day, and the rest of the time has to accompany Dio to walk around, she wants Dio to get familiar with the environment as soon as possible.

For most lords, there are no more than two kinds of power, one is the command of the army, and the other is the right to approve and approve the finances, and the barony's guard has always been controlled by Barrick, and Sophia holds the financial power of the barony, and the two of them have a lot of disputes.

With power coming out of the barrel of a gun, it seems that Barrick's power is greater than that of Sophia, but that sentence refers to troubled times, Baron Don is still alive, and Barrick cannot command the guards to do transgressions, so he has been in a very passive situation.

Sophia also understands the future crisis, so she not only forms her own guard, but also forms an armed merchant group, and in terms of force, she must have the upper hand in order to ensure her own safety. Of course, these were all old thoughts, and after a heart-to-heart conversation with Baron Donne, those ideas seemed more or less comical.

This is Donn's barony, and he's the real master!

Knowing that Barrick and Ogden have been running to Baron Donne's side these days, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Sophia tried not to see Baron Donn, but on this day, Baron Don sent a samurai to inform them and go to the restaurant for dinner together.

Dio and Sophia didn't care, but when they pushed open the door to the dining room, they couldn't help but be stunned to see Barrick and Ogden sitting side by side of the table.

"What are you still standing? Sit. Baron Donn gestured to the seat on the other side.

Dio and Sophia walked to their seats and sat down slowly, Ogden on the other side was able to control his emotions, while Barrick had been staring at Sophia with a cold gaze.

As if he hadn't noticed anything, Baron Don slowly cut the steak on the plate with a knife, and said with a smile: "I haven't held such a lively family banquet for a long time, Dio, you are also a member of the family, you are welcome, feel free." ”

"Thank you. Theo said.

"Why don't you eat it?" Baron Don turned his gaze to Barrick and Ogden.

"Father, I can't eat anymore. Barrick slammed the cutlery on the table.

"Young man, you should eat more and work more, why can't you eat?" asked Baron Donne.

"Father, you're talking about the farmer. Barrick barely made a not-so-funny joke: "Recently...... I'm not in good health. ”

"Not well?" Baron Donn slowly put down the knife and pondered for a moment: "Blame me too, I just want you to mature quickly, and I always keep pressing the burden on you, but I forgot that your body has been weak and sick since you were a child, huh...... Well, Barrick, would you like to go out and rest for a while?"

"Rest?" Barrick was stunned: "Father, where do you let me rest?"

"Go to the county. Baron Donn smiled and said, "Just do a few things for me, and then stay there for a few more days, there are many young people like you in the county, don't rush back, make a few more friends, it will be very good for your future." ”

"Oh. Barrick didn't doubt him, and answered.

Ogden was in a hurry and secretly kicked Barrick under the table.

Barrick came to his senses, looked at Ogden secretly, and asked, "Father, what about ...... What about the Barony?"

"What's going on here?" Donn thought for a moment, "You're talking about the Guards, ......right?" Isn't Dio here? Now that we are not as short of talents as before, let Dio be the commander of the guard, or else...... So can Fedeers. ”

"What?" Barrick snapped and stood up abruptly, "Father, why? Why should I hand over my guard to them?"

"Miswording. Don's face was still very gentle, and he said slowly, "You have to figure it out, it's not your guard, it's ...... Everything in this central castle, every set of cutlery on the table, the chair you sit on, is all mine, and nothing will be yours as long as I live, as long as I don't nod my head for a day. ”

Although Donn's tone was gentle, it clearly gave people a cold feeling, and Barrick barely mustered up the courage to exclaim, "Father, I definitely didn't mean to offend you, but ...... But I can't figure it out, I've put so much effort into the Guard, how can you suddenly let me hand over the Guard to someone else?!"

"You're wrong again. Baron Don said lightly: "First, Dio is no one else, and second, I took into account that you are not in good health, so I let you take a vacation and rest." ”

"Father, I'm in good health!" exclaimed Barrick.

"Is it good?" Baron Don looked at Barrick quietly for a long, long time, and just when Barrick felt panicked, he nodded slowly: "Then sit down and eat more." ”

Barrick sat down in anger, then gulped something into his mouth.

"That's right......" Baron Don smiled: "Actually, you shouldn't talk when eating, it's not good for your health, but I'm very happy to see everyone sitting together, I can't control myself, I just want to talk, hehe...... Later...... I don't think there's a chance to hold such a lively family dinner. ”

"Since the eldest brother likes it, we can come and accompany you every day. Ogdenlang laughed.

"Forget it, your belly, I'm afraid you'll make me poor in a few days. Baron Don couldn't help but laugh.

"Big brother, you're a barony, why are you still as stingy as before?"

"You......" Baron Donn shook his head and smiled, "How generous do I have to be to satisfy you?"

"Hehe......" Ogden laughed dryly, he couldn't take it anymore.

Dio's heart sank a little, Baron Don's words were almost full of murderous intentions, and it seemed that a bloody storm was inevitable.

Barrick was better, but Ogden's heart was full of turmoil, and what Baron Donn said today was always so strange, it seemed to be full of hostility, and it seemed to be just unintentional words.

"By the way, there was some unusual movement on Baron Keith's side. Baron Donn whispered, "You ...... Did you hear any wind?"

"Nope. Ogden immediately shook his head.

"......No," Barrick replied, somewhat alarmed.

"By blood, Keith is your uncle, but ...... Keith was my invincible enemy, he almost killed me, and I took one of his eyes. Baron Don said slowly, "Barrick, I don't want you to get involved with him, understand? ”

"Understood, father. Barrick bowed his head.

"It's good to understand. Baron Don said, "When you are full, you can go and get busy, and Sophia and Dio will accompany me." ”

Ogden and Barrick, who were already restless, heard this, and as if they had been pardoned, they immediately got up to say goodbye to Baron Donn, and as they left, Barrick gave Sophia a vicious look, apparently thinking that Sophia wanted to take his power.

When the figures of Ogden and Barrick disappeared at the door of the restaurant, Sophia couldn't hold back any longer, and she whispered, "Father, what do you want to ......"

"I warned Baron Keith that if he or his men dared to step into my territory, then there was only one man between me and him who could continue to live. Baron Don slowly picked up the napkin and carefully wiped his mouth: "Now...... It's time for me to fulfill my promise. ”

Sophia was stunned, although she had a premonition that a violent conflict might break out, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

"As for Barrick...... For Kelly's sake, I gave him a way to live, but he refused. Don stood up: "Dio, you two should go to bed early today, starting tomorrow, it is estimated that we will all be very busy." ”
