Chapter 101: Absurdity and Reality
Even if they knew the purpose of the Baroque, Morrisson had no hope! The only bloodline, the two sons had died in the rebellion, and the Hanseatic family was completely cut off. The young man in front of him will become like him and control the Duchy of Hansea, and the most elite Broken Horn Buck will be wiped out, and with the support of the army of the highland barbarians, even if the Hansa people find any clues in the future, they will not be able to pose a threat to him. Susan's woman wasn't crazy, all her goals had been achieved!
Morrison was not killed immediately, after all, it would take some time to pretend to be the Grand Duke of Hansea, and Baroque still needed to know as much as he could from him. Perhaps knowing that death was inevitable, Morrisson's courage and bloodiness, which had been lost for many years, returned, and he kept his mouth shut and mocked, but he did not speak again.
In terms of the knowledge and understanding of the soul, no one on the continent can compare with the shaman of the orcs, especially the Baroque who has an invincible purple power. He only changed a little, and when the shamanic power poured into Morrisson's soul sea, it became vicious and violent, and the pain caused was unbearable and deep in the bone marrow. Morrison had already dared to face death calmly, but he really couldn't stand the pain of tearing his soul apart, and finally opened his mouth ......!
When Baroque secretly gave Morrison death, he also gave almost everything Baroque needed to know. Grand Duke Hansa looked relaxed and relieved............ Compared to the pain caused by the Baroque, it is indeed a relief.
The Broken Horn Legion was ambushed by the forces of the Highlanders and Old Jean, and news of the capture of Archduke Morrison of Hansa soon spread. Not only were the people of the Duchy of Hanseasa panicked, but even Audria's envoy plenipotentiary here was taken aback!
At the beginning of the division of the kingdom of Paddington, due to the haste of the old Jean's side, he was pressed and beaten by Schaumberg, which was supported by the Samoan Empire, and fell into an extreme disadvantage. The Adria Empire, for balancing reasons, had to send the Golden Horn Legion to his aid again.
Although the Golden Horn Legion was only assembled in the border areas and did not set foot in the territory of the Kingdom of Paddington, the attitude of the Audrian Empire was already very obvious. This was beyond Schaumberg's control, and he had to seek support from the Samoan Empire. When the two empires came into contact and held negotiations, an agreement was finally reached. Also because of this agreement. The kingdom of Paddington was truly divided into two parts, east and west.
Neither Schomberg nor Old Jean could go against the will of the empire behind them, so although they were constantly fighting, they always kept a controllable situation. The two empires retreated when the situation eased, sending an envoy plenipotentiary to handle all affairs here.
Count Calvin was the plenipotentiary envoy of the Audrian Empire. He was a trusted servant of the emperor and had great authority. In the territorial affairs of the countries in this direction, whether it is the old Jean side of Paddington, or the vassal Duchy of Hanseasa and the Duchy of Dalintan, he has the right to intervene...... and even interfere in their internal affairs. His envoy's office was located in a small town on the border with the Duchy of Hanseas, so he soon received bad news from the Duchy of Hanseas. Taken aback, he immediately sent his men to the Duchy of Hanseasa and Old Jean respectively to inquire about the truth of the matter.
Calvin's task is to maintain the balance of the situation, not to let either side sit on the throne, and not allow either side to suffer too much damage. If what happened is true. He had a headache.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he prayed to the God of Light, he couldn't change the facts, and when his men rushed back to report to him, Calvin's heart sank. Queen Susan, who has been missing for more than a year, suddenly appears, and gains the allegiance of more than 100,000 Highlanders in the Northern Highlands, and with the support of her father Jean Sr., she ambushes the Brokenhorn Stag Legion of the Duchy of Hanseas, and the reason she uses is to avenge her three princes!
The original attack that killed the three princes of Paddington could not be concealed, in fact, Calvin had known about it for a long time. At the time, he even thought that the missing Queen Susan had been kidnapped by some robbers - after all, Queen Susan's fame was so famous that it was difficult for a man to resist her charm.
I didn't expect her to suddenly appear after a year and make such a big move. This completely upsets the balance around the perimeter.
The report that the Archduke Hansa had been captured by Susan's loyalists was perhaps the only good news. Calvin knew that he could not delay any longer, and that he had to get Susan out of Susan before he killed the Archduke of Hanseas, Morrison, or else the Duchy of Hansa and the people of East Paddington would have a blood feud. At that time, even the Odria Empire could not prevent them from attacking each other. Once the situation erodes, it is equivalent to cheapening the lively Samoan Empire next to it. There is no doubt that His Majesty Anthony would not like this kind of ending, and as the plenipotentiary envoy in this regard, Calvin is undoubtedly the most suitable punching bag for the emperor to vent his anger.
Calvin immediately took his own escort and traveled day and night to the Northern Highlands to meet Susan. The beautiful woman received him very politely. When Calvin asked his most pressing question, he was relieved to receive the answers. It's good that the Grand Duke Morrison hasn't been killed yet, and there is still room for everything to turn around.
Calvin used his authority to pressure Susan to release Archduke Morrison. Susan was very 'angry', refused several times, and repeatedly clamored to kill Morrison with her own hands to avenge the tragic death of her three princes. Calvin had to argue for Morrison: although the three Paddington princes were killed by soldiers of the Severed Horn Bucks, they were good at making claims, and the Grand Duke Morrison did not know about it at the time, and even Morrison punished all the murderers afterwards. It can be seen that Archduke Morrison was implicated, and Susan has destroyed the entire Broken Horn Bucks Army, her revenge has been avenged, and the innocent Archduke Morrison has also lost his only two sons, and this poor father can no longer bear too much price!
Perhaps Calvin's eloquence played a role, or perhaps it was Susan's kindness that the grieving woman, although she kept crying, finally agreed with Calvin's justification and stopped mentioning the killing of Archduke Hansa.
Calvin hoped that Susan would be able to release Archduke Morrisson, preferably with him. Susan was silent for a long time before nodding with difficulty, and after a while, the Highlanders pressed the 'Grand Duke Morrisson' to come.
'Morisson' was not abused, he was just much more emaciated and had a decadent expression. After meeting the Odria Imperial Plenipotentiary Envoy, he did not show any particular excitement. Even when Calvin was about to take him away, Morrison was a little reluctant, and his eyes were almost obsessed with the elegant and beautiful woman. What happened next left Calvin jaw-dropping............!
The Grand Duke of Morrison actually threw himself at Susan's feet and proposed to her with affection on his face............ Calvin had survived the initial shock and absurdity, but he also knew that for the lustful Morrison, the beautiful and mature Susan was irresistible, and it was completely unreasonable to be surprised to do such a thing. But Morrison can marry any woman, but he can't marry Susan, the former queen of Paddington. Because that would make the Duchy of Hanseasa and East Paddington, controlled by the elder Jean, close to each other, almost one. This kind of thing is not in the interests of the Odria Empire and will never be allowed.
Calvin wasn't worried, in his opinion, they had a blood feud between them, and Susan would definitely not agree. What drove him crazy was ...... Queen Susan did refuse very outright at first, even angry. But Archduke Morrison made a promise to change Susan's attitude, and he begged Susan to marry him, promising that their future children would be heirs to the Duchy of Hanseas. Even Morrison promised that in the future, if their children inherited the two countries of East Paddington and the Duchy of Hansea, he was willing to permanently cancel the title of the Duchy of Hansea, let East Paddington and Hansa merge, and allow their children to choose the surname Paddington. You must know that after the death of Morrison's two sons, his Hansa family has been cut off. Once the future child chooses the surname [Paddington] again, it is equivalent to the complete elimination of the Hansa family. For the aristocracy, who value their families and surnames, this is already the most serious price, and it is no wonder that Susan is tempted.
However, Calvin did not want to see this happen, and he strongly disagreed and even became angry. Unexpectedly, it aroused Susan's disgust and rebellion, and she immediately agreed to the marriage proposal of the Grand Duke Morrison! The surprised Morrison completely ignored Calvin's existence, and immediately said goodbye to Susan, preparing to rush back to Talva, the capital of Hanssa, to prepare for the wedding. Susan also had the Highlanders release the thousands of Brokenhorn Buck soldiers who had been captured, returning their mounts and weapons to them. Archduke Morrison led the remnants of the army and soon left. He didn't look at Calvin again the whole time!
Calvin's face was so blue that he almost went mad, ignoring Queen Susan's retention, and led his guards away. As his figure disappeared into the distance, Susan smiled. Celine walked up from behind the tent and said, "Sister, will Baroque's plan succeed?" ”
"Don't worry, don't you know the cunning and shrewdness of the Baroque? The remnants of the Baroque army were also cleansed, and apart from the ordinary soldiers, there was not a single nobleman or nobleman, and they had little contact with the high Archduke Morisson, so that no one would see through it. Besides, this scene will only last for a short time, even if some people are suspicious, but when our other plan is launched, the 'Grand Duke of Hansasa' will really die, and who will know the truth then?" Susan comforted Celine very confidently.
After the revenge, she fell into a brief confusion, not knowing what to do next. It wasn't until Baroque told her the whole plan that Susan picked up her spirits. She is the former queen of Paddington and has tasted power. Baroque wants to give her the rights of the Duchy of Hanseas, and let her find her direction again! )
