6. A story (I don't ask for recommendation votes, you won't give it, right?,I have to let this cute girl open a single chapter!!)
"It's an honor to meet you, Jenn...... Sir, get to know me, you can call me Isaac. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info please sit, don't be so restrained. Isaac sat cross-legged on the couch and paused as he called his name, as if to consider the title, and then motioned for him to sit across from him.
Jenn did feel very nervous, as a commoner, the nobles he had the pleasure of seeing were nothing more than small nobles like the barons of Ximu Town, while the big nobles like Isaac and Sasha who stood at the top of the ruler were difficult to access, after all, the information in this world is not so developed, and the average range of activities of ordinary people is about fifty square kilometers.
"Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I'll stand. β
Jenn sat trembling, knowing that no less than dozens of people were hanged by the Baron of Creek for offending the majesty of the nobility every year, and he didn't want to be frozen to a dry corpse hanging on the outer wall of the castle.
"How have the past few days?" Isaac asked.
"Honestly...... Somewhat uneasy. β
Glancing at Jenn with his head down, Isaac suddenly realized that this guy was still a child, and although he looked more mature than his peers, would he not be able to hold up just sending him into the gladiatorial arena of power?
"Why are you upset? Is it because of the girls outside?" Isaac continued.
"No, no, I think they're good, but I don't feel like I belong here. β
"Hehe, do you know why I'm leaving you here?"
"That's why I came to you for an answer. β
As we talked, struggling, with the crisp sound of heels tapping against the wooden floor, Olivia pushed open the door and walked in with a plate of snacks and drinks, and Jenn was unconsciously amazed by a beautiful monk dressed in costume. She was no longer the woman as holy as the moonlight, but like a blooming flower, she exuded a fierce fragrance.
"Thank you. Isaac watched Olivia put the contents of the tray one by one, took a sip of the brown drink she handed over, nodded and exclaimed: "It's just right, I really didn't expect to be able to drink such an authentic bourbon, it has to be shipped from the far south!"
"Yes, master, I tried to have Mr. Dott look for it in several ports, and someone really brought some from the south. It's a pity that it's not much, just a few dozen kilograms, and it does have a strange aroma after baking according to your recipe, and those crew members actually fed such a good thing to the pigs!" Olivia was as indignant as a little girl.
"Haha, just ask Salman, I remember he had a ship that would go south in February when the weather turned and the warm routes thawed to bring some herbs to the north to sell, and he could take this route. Isaac asked Olivia to pour Jenn a glass as well: "Try it, I just don't know if you like this bittersweet feeling." β
Jenn didn't refuse, because the aroma of the hot drink was so tempting.
"That's good!"
"Uh-huh. Isaac smiled back, knowing that it tasted much better than those coffees grown in small gardens in southern Mexico, and that it was easier to feel the sweetness of bitterness.
In fact, life is the same, it is only after experiencing bitterness that you can taste the sweetness of success. β
"Huh?" Jenn scratched his head, looking at the lord who suddenly said such a sentence with some puzzlement.
"I'll tell you a story that has been drowned in the dust of history. Isaac put down his cup and spoke in a tone of regret: "One hundred and sixteen years ago, the Northland was a complete kingdom, inherited by the Brent family, the great nobles of Ferron. Although it has not been recognized by most of the countries of Ferron, it is a de facto independent country. King Brent, Iserl XIII was a devout believer in the Light, and at the same time had enough respect for the gods, and under his rule, although the kingdom was not rich, it was better to be stable, and I have to admit that it was really a benevolent emperor. β
"Isel XIII was not a wasted man, he had only three princes and one princess in his life. The eldest prince, Goksa, is a mortal, not strong in force and without any talent for spells, and even has a dislike for government affairs. So with the exception of the Temple of Gods, who supported him as the next ruler, the other forces were skeptical of the prince's abilities. Ichelle is well aware of this situation, and he knows that if this continues, the country will suffer an unprecedented shock. Before his health became ill, he secretly surrendered his second son, Prince Potsdam, who was extremely strong in military ability, and deprived him of his military power and threw it into the local government affairs of the current prime minister in the northern part of the Winter Moon Empire. Then Prince Charleson, who was obsessed with business, was handed over to Duke Theon Miranda, a general stationed in the southern part of the kingdom at the time, and kept him away from the political center of St. Palamella, and the old king became ill after all this, and died in his hospital bed within a few years. β
"Brotherly disputes, this kind of thing in a noble family may not be harmful, once placed in the royal family, the consequences are easily foreseen. The first to rebel was the Prince of Potsdam, the second prince with great ambition, who had originally attracted a lot of noble officials in private, and at the same time there were a large number of followers in the north of the kingdom, and even the gods of the God of War of the Temple of the Gods also openly supported him, and the 150,000 troops gathered in a short period of time quickly occupied a large area of land around Wintercastle at that time, and the offensive was extremely ferocious, almost crossing the Brent River and going straight to the Holy City, but fortunately, a sudden snowstorm stopped the progress of the rebels, otherwise there would not be three countries in the North now. β
"The rebellion of the second prince made Prince Charleson also feel threatened, if he didn't help his eldest brother stabilize the situation, then maybe even he would die, after all, the second prince was not born to him and Goksa's mother, Queen Anivia. Prince Charleson had a generous personality, and the eldest son of the Duke of Thane married Prince Charleson's youngest daughter, so the entire land south of Icecrown Glacier was quickly controlled by Prince Charleson. Prince Charleson listened to the Duke of Thine's suggestion and sent the Third Army to the north, together with the Knights of the Temple Church and the First King's Guard, to block Potsdam's army east of the Brent River, and the border between the three countries was so vaguely demarcated. β
But there is one outsider who also wants a piece of this power struggle, and that is Princess Tara's husband, Prince Meghan Hansen. They dragged their families to the kingdom of Charleson, which had largely stabilized, hoping to hold important positions in the new kingdom. Charles I, who was as benevolent as his father, gave the whole of Yorkshire to Prince Hansen despite the dissuasion of the Duke of Thain. But the superficially respectful Hansen family was always trying to dig into the corners of the Charleson Kingdom, until the Charleson Kingdom went through three generations and the royal family was weakened. The Hansen family has already woven a large net in the shadows, and they only need a legitimate opportunity to steal the royal power. At this time, the little prince of ViladΓ‘n, who was bewitched by the evil forces, miraculously repented at the moment when he raised his long sword and stabbed his brother, and gave up the throne that was about to be in his hands, but he disappeared from people's sight without a trace. And the Hansen family, who had a bankrupt conspiracy, was also uprooted, and thousands of heads fell to the ground overnight, and blood flowed like a river, which is known as the 'July Rebellion' in the Charleson Kingdom. β
When Isaac finished the story, he looked at Jenn very seriously: "Do you know why King Viladan rebelled, because he thought that his only grandson, His Royal Highness Lothar Villadan Brent, was killed by his beloved eldest brother. King Viladan finally learned that the initiator of all this was the Hansen family, and he also knew that even if he killed his eldest brother, he would not be able to get back his poor grandson, and he would have to make the country go through a turmoil, so he chose to leave this sad place in despair. But everyone didn't expect that the little grandson, who should have been frozen to death by the icy river, floated to Helgen and survived tenaciously. Your Highness Lothar Villadan Brent, I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of leaving you in the castle of Xunshan. β
Jenn oh no, it should be called His Highness Lothar, the boy who grew up in the orphanage suddenly raised his head, and his face was full of disbelief, and he could see that the boy's hands were clenched tightly, and the muscles of his whole body were tensed, like a clockwork twisted over his head, which could cause a violent rebound at any moment.
Isaac nodded at Olivia, and the two of them walked into the bedroom in a tacit understanding, asking His Royal Highness the prince to digest the sudden and exciting news.
"The lost lamb, one of the turning points in history, is in our hands, and Fiona's prophecy may be true. Fate instigated the assassins of the Brotherhood of the Eternal Night to hunt down Archbishop Velon, probably for this reason, and the demon stalker Ryan Starchaser was also the bait she put out. Isaac touched his chin and muttered to himself as he slouched back on the bench.
"Is there any difficulty with the master?" asked Olivia, closing the bedroom door and pacing behind Isaac, gently squeezing his shoulders.
"Alas, the lines are in a mess, I really underestimated the abilities of these two ancient gods, Olivia, has there been any change in Baijanting recently?" Isaac didn't just build this castle in the mountains of Heergen for vacation and to shelter those godcasts, here to the south across the Thorn Strait is Baijanting's land, and monitoring the movement at the top of the frost trail is very easy for a hunter like Claire who specializes in beast control, and there is no secret at all when a group of birds with the eyes of the beast fly over.
"Byjantin didn't find anything out of the ordinary, but the pirates here have been a little more rampant lately, and many merchant ships have been robbed. However, even if they knew each other, they did not dare to touch the ship flying the Kacher flag. Olivia replied.
"It seems that our previous actions are still working. β
The two talked for a while, and Isaac clapped her hand and stood up.
"The kid should almost calm down, let's go see him. β
"Nice hosts. β
