Ordinary farmers and townspeople could never understand the thoughts of the nobles, and they even thought that the heads of the nobles were completely different from the heads of ordinary people. Just ambushed, two sons were killed, the elite Broken Horn Bucks Legion lost most of their combat strength, only a few thousand remnants were left to return, and even the Archduke Morrison, who was captured by others, actually proposed to his enemy, Susan, the former queen of Paddington! And what is even more incredible is that Queen Susan actually agreed to Morrison's proposal, and a grand wedding will be held in a few days! Not to mention ordinary city citizens, even those nobles in Talwa feel that they do not understand Archduke Morisson's thoughts.

However, the Grand Duke Morrison appeared a little fanatical and impatient, and he was anxious for the greatest wedding possible, but the Duchy's finances were clearly unable to support his idea. The treasurer told him very clearly...... Because there were too many soldiers killed in the battle, especially the nobles who followed Morrisson's side, most of the money had to be used to support the families of the deceased, and there was no money left.

Morrison brutally ordered the treasurer to embezzle the pension, declaring that the Grand Duke's wedding was the most important thing, and that the people of Hansa should be obliged to give to the Grand Duke.

This almost caused a riot, and the soldiers who died were young men, the pillars of almost every family, and their deaths left behind countless relatives who were in trouble. They were counting on that pension to get by, but now the Grand Duke Morrison was going to embezzle it, which was tantamount to starving them to death. Many people gathered around the Grand Duke's castle and begged the Grand Duke to take back his orders.

The encirclement of hundreds of people angered the 'Grand Duke Morrison', who declared them rebellious and sent his own henchmen to drive them away. The two high-ranking magicians, Pahomi and Savatzi, carried out the Grand Duke's orders, and they led the guards to disperse the crowd, and the movements were so violent that they finally caused casualties - at least a dozen old and infirm old men and young children were trampled to death.

The poor have always been oppressed and exploited by the aristocracy, they have long accepted their fate, and in the face of the ruthlessness of the Grand Duke, their hearts are full of resentment, but they have no choice but to be forced to leave.

The money that was left behind was finally used for the wedding. As if that weren't enough, Morrison levied an additional tax on all the nobles and wealthy merchants of the city, and continued to prepare for the grand wedding in extreme luxury. But he did not find that the whole duchy was plunged into resentment, and both the nobles and the poor longed for his death.

The Earl of Calvin warned Archduke Morrison and Susan several times. Let them give up their ridiculously dangerous moves. But this pair of men and women seem to have iron hearts, a widower and a widow actually fell in love. Even a few days ago, Susan openly came to Talva, the capital of Hanseas, and lived in the Grand Duke's Castle of Morisson...... They're just one wedding away!

On the pretext of the wedding, 'Morrison and Susan' turned the entire duchy upside down. Many nobles were punished and deposed for not paying enough 'rite taxes'. Countless officials have been removed from their posts because of unfavorable preparations for weddings. In their place were the people re-selected by the 'Grand Duke of Morrison'. In just over half a month, all the towns of the Duchy of Hanseasa were turned upside down.

It's not that no one thought of resisting, although most of the Principality's most elite Broken Horn Bucks were lost, Susan came with an army of highland warriors of 10,000 people. The savages in animal skins and feathers on their heads were so fierce and powerful that the people who were about to move could only endure and comfort themselves: the wedding will always pass, and everything will be fine!

Several warnings from Earl Calvin were ignored by Morrison and Susan. The matter had to be reported to the Imperial Court, but he lost hope in the first place. Because at this time, the Adria Empire was also busy with the 30th anniversary celebration of the emperor and his wife in two months, who would care about the bad things of a surrounding vassal country? ―――――― Calvin didn't know that even if Emperor Anthony or Prime Minister Severus saw the unfavorable situation that would be caused by Morrison and Susan's marriage, they didn't have the heart to care. Because of the insidious scheme of some orc, the suspicion of the Emperor and the Prime Minister has risen to a dangerous level, and they are all preoccupied with scheming things and preparing for the big showdown at the anniversary celebration. Naturally, Calvin's escalation was ignored.

A month later, when the Grand Duke's castle was almost completely renovated and renovated inside and out, Morrison and Susan's wedding finally arrived!

Even if the whole country is full of complaints. Even if Calvin longed for the dog man and woman to die, there was still etiquette. Nobles and foreign envoys, as well as invited guests, all came to the most splendid hall of the Grand Duke's Castle to witness their wedding.

Celine watched her cousin and the man walk together with a happy smile on their faces, and her heart was indescribably sour. Others thought Susan was having a wedding with Morrisson, but she knew that the man was the hateful Orc Baroque!

Baroque promised to give her a big wedding. But now it was his cousin Susan who was the first to unite with him, how could she not make Celine resentful?

As if in his heart, Morrison's gaze glanced at Celine, his mouth moving, and he seemed to make several lip shapes to Celine. Celine turned her head slightly, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she understood the Baroque language, he was saying 'I love Celine the most'. yes, it's just a play, a play for those people.

After the wedding, Susan became the hostess of the Duchy of Hanseas, both legally and logically, and the grand carnival feast followed. The nobles who had been tossed for more than a month were finally treated with a smile on the faces of the Grand Duke Morrison, and they sincerely hoped that the couple would not change their ways to toss and exploit again, otherwise there would really be a riot in the Duchy of Hansea. ........................

Fortunately, perhaps the God of Light heard their plea, and for some time to come, Grand Duke Morrison and Grand Duchess Susan were tired of being together all day, and did not even take a step at the door of the Grand Duke's mansion. The Duchy of Hanseasa was restored to peace, and people breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced with each other, and at this moment, something big happened like a thunderbolt in the clear sky―――――― Archduke Morrison was assassinated!

The people were incredulous and thought that someone was joking, but when the Broken Horn Stag and the elite soldiers of the Highlanders sealed off the city of Talva and began to check the houses one by one, they felt that something great had indeed happened! A few days later, the Grand Duke's Palace officially announced the sad news -- the venerable Grand Duke Morrison had been poisoned! Lady Susan wept to death and vowed to find the murderer and avenge her husband.

The maid who poisoned Morrison's wine has been found, and she has hanged herself in her room, and the clue seems to be broken. But it was soon discovered that this maid was a newcomer who had only recently been recruited today, and the butler who had brought her into the Grand Duke's Mansion was nowhere to be found. It's the butler who's searching!

This kind of big event naturally alarmed many people, and Earl Calvin deserved it even if he sneered in his heart. I also had to come to mourn in person, asking all the details of the Grand Duke's murder and the clues to the investigation. The grieving Lady Susan was so touching that Calvin was so moved that he scolded Morrison for his good fortune...... I'm afraid that most of the ingredients that die on the belly of this sexy woman.

Calvin's good mood only lasted a short time. After his condolences were finished, he took his leave and left, preparing to hurry back to the imperial capital and report the matter here to the emperor. After all, it was the Grand Duke of the vassal state who was killed, and he always needed to let the emperor know. In Calvin's view, Morrison's death was likely due to the exploitation and suppression of his subjects some time ago. The victim's relatives held a grudge and eventually took revenge.

He was still wrong, and when he was halfway to a small town for the night, he was surrounded by a large army chasing after him. They are savage Highlanders, and their leader is a young adventurer named Aragon. They claimed that the murderer of the Grand Duke Morrison was hiding in the ranks of Earl Calvin and needed to be searched.

Before Calvin could get angry, the Highlanders swarmed up and surrounded dozens of his convoys. As soon as Aragon ripped the armor off one of the guards' heads, the others around him immediately let out a cry of surprise - it wasn't their companion, they didn't know this guy!

"Your Excellency Lord Calvin. Why is our Grand Duke's butler in your escort, and wearing the armor of your escort?" asked Aragorn with a sarcastic face.

"Trap, it's a trap!" Calvin was smart, and he immediately thought of this: "Someone is framing me, and I have no reason to kill Archduke Morrison." ”

"But our Lady Susan has said more than once that you have tried to prevent the marriage of the Grand Duke Morrison and her, and have even openly threatened the Grand Duke. Why should I not doubt you?"

Calvin was also a treacherous man, and he always speculated on the darkest side of things. At this moment, a thought came to my mind, and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Who is the murderer? I'm afraid the venerable Grand Duchess Susan knows best, right? Hmph, Aragorn? Go back and tell Lady Susan that her ruse will never succeed." The Audria Empire would never allow an outsider woman to control the Duchy of Hanseas. ”

"Count Calvin, although you are the plenipotentiary envoy of the Adria Empire, please be careful with your words, are you slandering our lady's reputation? Remember, slandering a noble Grand Duchess, even in the presence of His Majesty Antony, will make you ridiculed and disgusted by all the nobles. Aragorn sneered, "We'll go back and find out everything and reserve the right to revenge." ”

He said no more, and ordered the Highlander soldiers to escort the steward back. Then he walked away, leaving Calvin with a cloudy face. ..................

I don't know who leaked the news, and soon the people of the Duchy knew that a certain butler of the Grand Duke's Mansion was searched from the side of Count Calvin, Audreya's plenipotentiary envoy, and the mastermind behind it was revealed!

Morrisson, of course, was not a good monarch, but he was the Grand Duke of the Hansa after all. When the Odrians assassinated him, the Hanseatic people still felt a sense of anger and emotion! Someone was deliberately channeling this commotion and resentment towards the Adritic Empire! They claimed that the Odrians had killed Archduke Morrison in order to cut off the Hanseatic family and then annex the principality.

Hatred was ignited like a spark falling on dry wood, and the whole duchy was so hostile to Audria that Count Calvin had to send additional troops on the border in case some of the hot-headed Hanseasa made irrational moves. He was ready to rush to the Dulong Imperial Capital immediately to report to the Emperor what had happened here. (To be continued.) )
