The royal capital of Gambis is located in the middle of the kingdom, where the river Blino flows, also known as the city of Blinor, which has a history of more than 600 years.

Originally just a small town, Blinor grew from strength to strength with the rise of the Auguste family. When the Augustian family founded the kingdom, Blinor became the royal capital of Gambis.

As the political, economic, and military center of the Gambis, Blinor is also the kingdom's largest material distribution center. Every year, the lords had to transport the annuity payments to Blinor, and the eleventh tax drawn by the church in the Gambis was also transferred here.

The abundance of supplies attracted a large number of people, with more than 70,000 people in Blinor, and an unrepresented number of free people. In order to accommodate more and more people, Blinore has been continuously renovated and expanded for more than 600 years, and today it has become one of the few heroic cities in the human kingdom.

Blinauer is divided into inner towns, outer towns, and shanty towns. The inner city consisted of vassal districts, noble districts, and royal palaces, covering an area of 32 square kilometers. The outer city is mainly farmland, warehouses, barracks, workshops, residential areas and commercial areas, with a total area of 71 square kilometers. Beyond the walls is a shanty town of freemen, about 40 square kilometers in size.

The northernmost part of the aristocratic district is the royal palace of Gambis, which has been built over the years to form a 10-square-kilometre fortress complex. Because the Auguste family had a kite as their coat of arms, the royal palace was also called the kite.

It was morning, and in a reception room deep in the kiteburg, Williams was meeting with the two leaders of the night owls.

"Viscount Victor Wyn Randall is 20 years old, born in Kell County in the north of the kingdom, and his father is Baron Shatarn Wimbledon, a 56-year-old nobleman. Her biological mother, Eleena Wimbledon, was the daughter of a lord who had no noble blood and died when Victor was 4 years old. Her stepmother, Lelia Wimbledon, 34, was the second daughter of the Behrens family and was once a widow. ”

"Viscount Randall's sibling is Mario Wimbledon, 25 years old, a knight-apprentice, and his teacher is Rudolph, a knight of the Behrens family. The Viscount also has a half-sister named Pesci, who is only 7 years old this year, and the two have never met. In addition, the Viscount's father has two concubines, and none of them have awakened the blood of knights, so there is no need to mention the name."

"Baron Hartain Wimbledon's estate is located on the edge of the mountains in the western part of the county of Kele, with two estates, a village, 20,000 acres of arable land and 120 square kilometers of mountain forest, and a total of 657 registered civilians. The annual income of the fief is around 900 gold soles, and it supports 70 soldiers for the kingdom, and the net income of Baron Chartaun does not exceed 300 gold soles. ”

"That's the family situation of Viscount Randall. ”

It was a tall and good-looking aristocratic woman who spoke. She looked to be in her early 20s, with brown hair, fair and smooth complexion, long eyebrows and eyes, and a cherry nose and mouth, but her eyes were cold and her tone was flat, giving people a cold feeling.

Williams didn't care about the aristocratic woman's arrogant attitude, he knew that Margaria was by nature. As the mistress of the former king, the queen's confidant, and one of the leaders of the night owl, Margaria can personally report to him, which is an attitude in itself.

Since the three golden knights of the kingdom have expressed their positions, Williams has also made compromises on the issue of the throne, and today he summoned Margaria and Varus at the same time, not only to test the queen's attitude, but also to grasp the situation of Victor.

All Silver Knights are the object of royal attention. As a male favorite, Victor is not qualified to be paid attention to by the royal family, but as a popular shooter at the silver level, his background, bloodline, personality, and abilities have all become the content collected by night owls.

Williams smiled at Margaria and asked, "What about Viscount Victor's pedigree?"

Margaria knew what Williams cared about, and she said, "According to our investigation, the Viscount's ancestor is the Sword Saint Draven, a distant cousin. Viscount Victor is not a Juggernaut bloodline. The church's records of descent also testify to this. ”

"Oh, that's a surprise...... Williams frowned and continued, "How is Victor's relationship with his family?"

"Very bad. Margaret paused and added, "You can call it emotionless!"

"Baron Chartain can only be at the bottom of the list of court nobles, his family has not had a knight for three generations, and the estates managed by the family are shrinking. Baron Chartain's financial situation was so poor that he could not afford the education of his two sisters-in-law. When Viscount Victor showed the characteristics of the Moon Elves, Baron Shatarn made the most common decision. ”

"Shatarn first contacted the Behrens family. The Behrens family arranged for the widowed Lelia to marry Shatarn, who became Victor's stepmother and was responsible for teaching him court etiquette, and Baron Shatarn began to deliberately alienate Victor. Speaking of this, the corners of Margaria's mouth turned up slightly, and she mocked: "The Behrens family and Baron Chartain want to train Victor into a qualified male pet and sell it to the Seuss royal family at a high price. But how can their actions be hidden from our night owls?"

"When Viscount Victor was 12 years old, under the arrangement of Her Majesty the Queen, Marquis Sophia took out 100,000 gold soles and 20 lotions of washing potion to obtain the custody of Victor. Victor lived in the palace for 3 years, and at the age of 15 he married Sophia. ”

"I've been to their wedding receptions...... You trained Victor well, he looked like a little vase at the time. Williams glanced at Margaret lightly and sighed, "Who would have thought that the little vase would shoot a big knight and a knight with his own hands." Now, the Knights of the Rose have a fearsome Archer in the Wind. ”

"Maybe it's more than that!" Varus said, "Viscount Ternes has been to the Centaur Hills, and he has found Viscount Victor holding his grounds. My guess is that Victor may have shot the Silver Ant-Man leader, otherwise Lady Sylvia wouldn't have let him leave Black Castle. ”

"Even if Viscount Victor hadn't shot the Ant-Man Leader, Lady Sylvia would have thought that the Ant-Man Leader was no threat to the Viscount. Varus added.

Williams took a deep breath, knocked on the table, and asked suspiciously, "When did Victor awaken his talent for popularity?

"No!" said Margaria surely.

"In other words, in less than three years, Viscount Victor has not only awakened the Wind Talent, but also embodied the Wind Element?!No wonder Lady Sylvia thinks so highly of him!" Varus shook his head and sighed.

Williams leaned back in his chair and asked with some chagrin, "What kind of character do you think Victor is now?"

"Victor used to have a lot of respect for Her Majesty the Queen, but now he has really changed his temperament. "In the beginning, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we instilled in Victor the idea that Baron Shatarn had betrayed him. He was then given to Lady Sylvia as a gift. These two betrayals had a great impact on Victor, and because of this, he became angry with Her Majesty the Queen, and he directly signed the agreement on the exchange of the territory. ”

"In the Centaur Hills, Victor has shown extraordinary talent. He co-opted the mercenary group, created a division of work system, and first gained a firm foothold. He then invented purple cane wine, jaggery sugar, snow sugar, and coffee, and held a pre-divine notarization with the Duke of York, which won the support of the York family, but he refused to become a vassal of the York family. This shows that Victor wants to be independent, and of course this is also his naïve side. ”

"That makes sense. Victor was talented, gifted, eager to prove himself, but somewhat immature, so he didn't hesitate to kill Austin...... He had no idea that the kingdom forbade the Great Knights to duel. You did teach him well, and perhaps read him many epic poems in praise of knightly duels. Williams's tone was mocking.

Margaria was silent for a while, and then said, "It was His Highness Roland who read it to him. ”

"I knew ......," Williams rubbed his forehead.

"Lady Sylvia connived at it, too. Margaria said coldly.

"What do you mean?!"

"Your Highness, didn't you notice that Lady Sylvia had a strange relationship with Viscount Victor?" Margaret said to herself again, "Victor and Phinex have an ambiguous relationship, and as a result, Lady Sylvia sent Phinex to him. In addition, Lady Sylvia has always defended the independence of Viscount Victor, which we can see as a pampering, or that the House of York needs Viscount Victor to be their spokesperson. Strangely, why didn't Lady Sylvia teach Viscount Victor that it was not in the interest of the House of York to shoot Austen. In other cases, the other lords will inevitably use Judy's mother and son to force Austin to compromise. This shows that Lady Sylvia has not taught Victor how to be a lord, nor has she arranged a butler for him!"

After Austin was shot, Lady Sylvia stepped in to take the lead, and then she arranged for Victor to be two personal maids. ”

"What do you want to say?" Williams asked in a deep voice.

Margaret said coldly: "Lady Sylvia has indulged Viscount Victor to a point of loss of control!"

Williams wanted to laugh, but couldn't. Each nobleman could only have four legal partners, and Victor already had a wife and a valet for him, and Sylvia arranged for him two more valet maids, which meant that Victor could no longer marry other families. Marriages between lords were common, but it was unreasonable for Sylvia to arrange a partner for her lover. If Sylvia is trying to tighten her grip on Victor, then this in itself is a sign of loss of control!

Thinking of this, Williams asked Varus, "Who would dare to risk offending Sylvia to marry Victor?"

Varus thought for a moment and said, "We!"

"Why are we doing this?" asked Margaria this time.

"That's what I want to figure out, too!" said Margaria lightly.

"No!" Varus interjected, "If Viscount Victor is important to Lady Sylvia, how could she let Viscount come to the royal capital?"

"Prince Edward has already gone to the Centaur Hills, and Victor has come to the royal capital, what's so strange?" said Margaria coldly.

"Even if we don't send knights to protect us, what about the other forces?" Lady Sylvia is so sure that we can keep the Viscount safe?" asked Varus rhetorically.

Margaria was speechless, but she had another card: "There's a lot of puzzling things about the House of York. For example, they don't have enough stones, but they choose to guard the hills. ”

Williams and Varus looked at each other for a moment, and Varus understood and said with a smile: "Lady Sylvia led the Knights of the Rose north, and we learned that there are many stone mines in the north of the Centaur Hill, where the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of Dordor. If the House of York wants to seize the quarry, they need our support. ”

"Your Highness, it is a fact that the Yorks have a strange attitude towards Victor. We should find out why. Margaria was silent for a moment, then continued: "When the ant plague broke out, one of our dead soldiers risked his life to deliver important information, and he was killed by Bishop Pero in Red Leaf Town. The Yorks took the opportunity to purge the Night Stalkers' spies. At present, we have lost a lot of manpower in the Centaur Hills, and we need to redevelop the shadows. I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide 100,000 gold soles to fund the rebuilding of the intelligence network. If you agree, I'll send someone to infiltrate Randall's territory and find out the secrets. ”

After going around for a long time, I came to ask for money!

Williams was a little crying and laughing, and while he was silent, Varus said beside him: "Your Highness, I also need 200,000 gold soles to monitor the movements of the Neville people." You promised me......" said Varus and Margaria, their eyes intertwined as if sparks were splashing.

It is necessary for the kingdom to control the dynamics of the various lieges, but it is also crucial to understand the changes in the kingdom of Neville. However, the Gambis's finances are very tight, and there is no way to take care of the construction of internal and external intelligence networks at the same time. How to choose between them made Williams a little difficult.

Deep down, Williams now just wants to sit in the regent position and realize his political ambitions. Until the dust settled, he did not want the situation at home to change, especially the attitude of the House of York.

"Margaria, in two years Edward will be able to inherit the throne. I am sure that Queen Catherine did not want anything to happen. Do you say?" Williams stared into Margaria's eyes and said slowly, "Our biggest crisis right now is for the Dordor and the Nevilles to unite. So, for two years, the night stalkers should not infiltrate Randall's collar. In two years, I will support your actions!"

Margaria silently saluted Williams, and when she turned to leave, she was stopped again.

"Victor is there now?"

"By this evening at the latest, the Viscount will be able to arrive in the royal capital. Margaria turned and said.

"Some have instructed Victor in court etiquette...... Please stay away from Viscount Victor!" Williams said with a smirk.

Margaria nodded and left the reception room.

Williams let out a long breath, stood up, walked to the crystal window, looked at the snowy scenery outside the window, and said, "Varus, there is one thing I want to know most right now. ”

"Your Highness, what do you want to know?"

"A guy with such an awkward personality, where will he stay tonight?" Williams laughed, "Marquis Sophia's mansion, the York's manor, or the Buryatia's villa?

Varus thought about it and couldn't help but laugh too
