The news of Audreya's additional troops stationed on the border was deliberately spread by people with good intentions, and the people of the entire Duchy of Hanseasa were talking about it. Especially in the case of the murder of the Hanseatic Grand Duke Morrison and the discontinuation of the heir of the principality, it caused panic in the hearts of the people.

Archduchess Susan fell into grief and fainted several times at the Archduke's funeral, the worst of which was when her maids, frightened by Madame's pale countenance, called Madame's close retainer, Lord Aragon. Lord Aragon looked at Lady Susan with a very strange expression, even shocked. Then he hurriedly had the Grand Duchess help her back to her bedroom, and called for the best physician in the city of Talva to see her. Then, after some treatment, the doctors announced something completely unexpected. ..................

There were only three people in the room, Susan lying on the bed and Celine next to her, while Baroque stood aside with a stiff expression. Susan's face was complicated, and Celine seemed to be a little depressed, looking at Baroque with even anger in her eyes.

Baroque never imagined that Susan would be pregnant, and it had been two months. He made Susan show some sadness at Morrison's funeral, and Susan, who had cried several times, suddenly felt unwell and really fainted, when those doctors repeatedly diagnosed and treated, they came to this conclusion!

Recently, Susan has been busy plotting with Baroque and has not noticed it, and she is really overwhelmed when she suddenly learns the news.

Baroque also had some headaches, and there was no doubt that the child was his. But it is precisely because of him that it has caused certain variables. Because on the continent of Sauron, the offspring born between the two races will not be fused together at all. For example, the children born of humans and orcs are either humans or orcs, and there is no such thing as half-orcs at all, and the bloodline barrier is clear. If Susan's child is born in the future, it would be better to say that it is a human, if it is an orc, then oh my God...... An absolute scandal. It would also frustrate Baroque and Susan's plans completely, and the Hansa would not allow a woman who had tarnished the honor of the Grand Duke's family to continue to rule the principality.

In any case, everything will have to wait until the child is born. Before that, the Baroque people announced the 'good news' to the outside world. Let the people of the entire duchy know that the Archduke Hanseasa has died even if he is tragic. But he left his bloodline!―――――― This is also an unexpected good news, the magpie's nest dove Zhan's plan is complete!

This matter is not over, even though the Archduke of Hanseasa Morrison died, he was perverse while he was alive, and treated his subjects harshly and cruelly. It has already tarnished the reputation of the Grand Duke of Hansea. Even if they know that the Hansa bloodline has been passed down, people are not as happy as they imagined.

This was the time to buy people's hearts, and when the Archduke Hansa died, and he had no other heirs, then the Archduchess Susan became the supreme ruler of the Duchy of Hanseas, both nominally and legally. She needed to run the principality, and people were a little numb and didn't think her governance would improve much.

Susan's performance was astonishing, and she dragged her delicate body to the funeral of Morisson. Then immediately announced to the people of the Principality that the Archduke Morrison had withheld the embezzled pensions, and she would redistribute them all to the families of the soldiers who died in battle. People who have been hurt because of the roughness of the Grand Duke. They will be compensated and an extra sum of money will be given to help those who are destitute.

This move won the favor of the families of the soldiers who died in battle, and they even came to the Grand Duke's Castle to express their heartfelt thanks to Lady Susan. The people of the Principality have also changed their opinion of her.

Since many of the ministers were killed in the annihilation of the Broken Horn Legion, Susan reasonably confiscated most of the property of the nobles, and even if some of the nobles' descendants inherited the inheritance, they were also levied a high inheritance tax. So Susan has a lot of property land in her hands. After solving the problem of pension for the soldiers killed in the war, she announced that a large amount of land would be distributed to the poor, and that they would be exempted from taxes for a period of time, so that they could live a stable life.

Ordinary civilians are naturally grateful. Susan's prestige reached an unprecedented level, but the nobles who had been damaged began to resent. They complained that the foreign woman was hurting and insulting the upper class of the Duchy of Hanseas, arguing that she had no right to do so. At the councils of the principality, many nobles made strict demands. Hopefully, Susan will take back those bad policies.

Susan's plenipotentiary agent, Lord Aragon, the Interim Councillor, did not hesitate to reject their impertinent demands and ordered everyone to obey orders. This act undoubtedly exacerbated the contradictions, and the people who had passed the cheese could not bear it, and the discontent of the nobles became more and more intense, and they even began to collude with each other. Plotting something. There was silence in the Grand Duke's Mansion, and they didn't seem to be aware of the turmoil in the aristocratic circles.

Lord Aragon watched coldly and did not do anything, but the civilians who had just benefited also began to feel uneasy. The land they have been allotted in their hands is not yet hot, and if it is taken back, it will be almost life-threatening, and there is a lot of talk among the people, who are cursing the insatiable nobles, feeling that they are oppressing and bullying the poor widow...... Lady Susan. At the same time, he secretly prayed to Lady Susan to resist the pressure and not give in.

The nobles felt good, perhaps they thought that in Talva, the capital of the principality, they could do whatever they wanted. Lady Susan's silence emboldened them. The first was a young nobleman who had lost his father, who inherited his father's title, only to have nearly half of his family's land property repossessed by the Grand Duke's Mansion and distributed it among the impoverished commoners. This kind of thing is simply an insult to him. The young nobleman was also one of the most vociferous of the group, and after enduring it for a while, and finding that Susan was too weak to speak out, he thought it was time to go further.

Soon, he gathered his servants and guards, openly beat and drove away the civilians who had been allocated land, and reclaimed his property. In between, his men wounded more than a dozen people, and the guards forcibly dragged the young daughter of a civilian to a dark place and raped her, and the girl died of her injuries, and the guards threatened to kill all his family members if he dared to make a big deal out of it.

The commoner did not choose to give in, but he knew that he could not do anything to the powerful nobles, and their grievances could only go to the benevolent Grand Duchess Susan. He came to the castle of the Grand Duke and knelt there weeping and pleading.

According to the Archduce's guards, it was when Lady Susan learned the news. Almost fainted with rage, and immediately ordered Lord Aragon to deal with the matter. The brave and fearless Lord Aragon immediately led the guards of the Grand Duke's Mansion to surround the mansion of the young nobleman, and arrested all the dozen or so guards who participated in the evil. Then openly hanged in the square of the city of Talva. and ordered the nobleman to return the land to the commoners at once, or else he would be severely punished. When Aragorn announced the decision, the crowd of civilians in the square erupted in enthusiastic cheers, and they chanted "Long live the merciful Lady Susan", and at that moment Susan's prestige reached its peak.

The aristocrats felt that they could not stand it anymore. If this continues, they will be robbed of all their possessions by that vicious woman. Then some kind of disobedience naturally germinated, and they secretly began to collude with each other, and sent representatives to meet Calvin, the plenipotentiary of the Adria Empire, hoping to get his help.

Calvin, who was about to rush to the imperial capital of Duron, was overjoyed, and he pondered for a long time, thinking that this was a perfect opportunity. If the nobles of the Duchy of Hanseasa can be used to overthrow and drive out Lady Susan, then the Duchy of Hanseas, which is gradually getting out of control, will be back on track, and when the time comes, anyone will be assigned to rule the Duchy of Hanseas, and they will obey the Odria Empire, which is in the interests of the empire. And there is no need to alarm His Majesty Anthony. Kill two birds with one stone.

Calvin then agreed to the pleas of the Hanseatic nobles, providing them with financial and material resources to support their rebellion.

It's a pity that all this is a conspiracy made up by some cunning orc, luring everyone into the trap step by step. When Calvin and the Hansa nobles were successfully carrying out their plan and thought that they were about to succeed, they did not know that the baroque butcher's knife had been raised behind their backs!

There are only a few thousand remnants left in the Broken Horn Bucks Legion, and because of the recent turmoil, they have not had time to replenish the source of troops, and their strength has fallen to a low point at this time, and they are all arranged to train outside the city. As for the ten thousand troops of the highlanders. Stationed dozens of miles away from Talva City, besides, those barbarians are okay in the field, and if they want to attack the city, they are completely outsiders. At this time, there were less than a hundred guards in the Grand Duke's castle, and it was extremely empty.

The nobles' plan is ready. More than a thousand guards were gathered, armed with the weapons provided by Count Calvin, and even Calvin mobilized an elite of Audria to quietly enter the territory of the Duchy of Hansea, and he himself had secretly come to Talva City in advance, and when the nobles succeeded, he would come out and announce the attitude of the Odria Empire. and support the newly chosen puppet to inherit the Duchy of Hansea.

The armies of the nobles poured out of the mansion and rushed towards the Grand Duke's castle. Seeing that things were not going well, the guards in the Grand Duke's palace immediately closed the gates of the castle and sounded the alarm of an enemy attack. The rebels surrounded the castle, slandering that the child in Susan's womb was not of the blood of the Archduke Hansasa, declaring that they would not recognize Lady Susan's right to rule the Duchy of Hanseas, and clamoring for her to get out. The castle was closed, and no one paid attention to them.

At the same time, the nobles sent troops to occupy the city of Talva, closing the gates in case the highlanders' army knew the news and attacked. As long as they hold out for a while, they can break the siege when Adria reinforcements arrive.

The nobles' ultimatum went unanswered, and they immediately launched a storm on the castle without hesitation. Just as the rebel soldiers pushed the crash car and tried to crash open the castle gates. The gate suddenly opened, and two magicians led dozens of fierce orcs, all dressed in armor and holding giant axes, walked out with a sinister smile, and behind them, there were thousands of people following the army of the highlanders.

How could it be? The rabble of noble rebels was stunned! When did the spies they secretly send out to hide in the Grand Duke's castle when they saw that the armies of the highlanders were all outside the city?

It's too late to think about it, how can the mighty Highlander army be the opponent of the rabble of rebels?After the two magicians, Pahomi and Savati, unleashed their advanced magic dragon magic and burned dozens of people to death, the Highlander warriors smirked and pounced on the rebels' ......!

In the mansion of a nobleman, Count Calvin was quietly waiting for the outcome of the rebellion, when a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Count Calvin, what are you waiting for?" (To be continued.) )
