Chapter 105: Preparation, Lion Fights Rabbit
Until the next morning, Augustus sent old Vernon and Elizabeth away, and Elizabeth, who was emotional, did not say a word to him, Augustus tried to smile at his sister at first, but found that he did not receive any effect, so he simply gave up, and also stopped talking; this seems a little unreasonable, but you must know that even when Elizabeth first comforted Sophia, he knew that even if Augustus realized his own fault, he would not say it, let alone apologize, so of course Augustus could not blindly try to make Elizabeth understand him, he himself is this kind of character, and he understands him, why should he understand if he doesn't understand him.

Even if it's Elizabeth, there is such a thing as personality that is deeply ingrained after all.
And he really didn't think his tough stance was a mistake.
He watched in silence as the servant carried Elizabeth's two large boxes of salutes to the carriage - yes, indeed two boxes, and Augustus did not think it was excessive, when His Royal Highness Sophia visited Alfred Castle, in addition to the daily change of clothes, in case of a dinner party, the evening dress, jewelry, and all kinds of cosmetics and books that were used every day, and other items are stuffed into three chests, which shows that it is indeed not easy to be a noble lady who is always glamorous and dazzling in the eyes of everyone, especially since Augustus also stuffed a full 30,000 Bourbon gold coins in these two boxes in one go.
It seems to be the nouveau riche psychology after the poor egg Augustus became rich?
But what is the point of Augustus' difficult climb and struggle if even materially cannot fully satisfy Elizabeth?
Elizabeth got into the carriage in silence after leaving the castle, still not talking to Augustus, who didn't mind, just smiled and watched Elizabeth get into the carriage like watching a child who was angry with him.
Then everything was ready, Augustus thought about it, and finally felt that he did not need to explain too much to old Vernon, and he was fully confident that his silent old butler who rarely spoke could take care of Elizabeth in all aspects; I have carefully read the notes left by my father, and since you also said that my father infiltrated the imperial capital back then, then I believe that the 'Attila' mentioned more than once in my father's notebook should also leave clues in the imperial capital, and find a way to investigate this matter. β
In fact, this is another important reason why Augustus sent Elizabeth to the imperial capital, he does not know the origin of the hand behind Christopher, but now that it is certain that the person who attacked Alfrold Castle must have been the one hiding in Christopher's shadow, he certainly needs to know what his father had done in the Holy Imperial Capital, and whether there were obvious enemies.
Because these are all things that he will face in the near future.
Old Vernon bowed down, and beside his count, he never had a strong presence, and he was always in the right place at the right time.
Augustus smiled, and then hit the road.
The magnificent carriage of the purple iris slowly departed, and the farther and farther he went, stood there and watched the carriage leave, and Augustus also turned and walked back to the castle.
But as soon as he turned around, Elizabeth's crying voice came from behind him.
"Augustus, you are an unreasonable bastard!"
Augustus stopped, smiled slightly, but did not look back.
In the carriage, the little head poked out of the curtain of the carriage, and Elizabeth, who was in tears, choked up and shouted: "Augustus, I will wait for you to pick me up." β
"Definitely. β
Augustus, who still hadn't looked back, waved behind him and walked back to his castle with his feet raised.
The rising sun stretched his thin figure infinitely.
......
Walking back to the castle, Augustus did not return to the castle, but stood by the refuge tent on the lawn in front of the castle for a while, probably because of the early morning, it was quite quiet, although during this period some servants would also see their lords, such as Baron Llorente of the city of Sayes, and the younger brother of the Baron Bastov of Saiyan City, who died under the sword of Katieenny, all took the initiative to come and salute Augustus, and once again expressed their concern, but at least in front of Alfred's castle, the atmosphere of terror was not strong- Then, just as Augustus was about to leave, he saw Lady Mary come out of Marshall's tent with a pair of murder weapons.
Augustus smiled vaguely, but didn't say much.
Speaking of which, he must be grateful to Lady Mary, if it weren't for this courtesan who has been circling among his servants for the past few days, I am afraid that Alfred Castle can only face a more noisy environment, that is, in the past few days, Augustus has found that Lady Mary's ability in this regard is simply amazing, he can't imagine at all what kind of means Lady Mary used to make his servants forget the white terror created by Christopher for the time being, from the initial panic to the current night and night singing and night dinner, it can be said that it is simply the credit of Lady Mary alone, which can be called incredibleγ
Lady Mary gathered her still somewhat messy hair and walked over to Augustus.
Augustus glanced at Marshall's tent and said with a smile, "Madam, you can't let my baron be too indulgent, he is injured after all." β
Slouching and yawning, apparently having not rested much after a night of tossing, Lady Mary complained, "Oh my God, he is a tireless beast, wounded, and if it hadn't been for the fact that his damned wound had broken and bleeding from the exercise, I wouldn't have believed that he was really wounded." β
Augustus smiled and said no more, and walked back to the castle, with Lady Mary following him.
On the way, Augustus suddenly asked, "By the way, if you have the opportunity to take your girls to show me, I am indeed curious about the female assassins you have cultivated." β
Madame Mary didn't speak, but she suddenly stopped, and looked at Augustus, who had stopped in doubt, and she giggled: "I can't believe you didn't see it, in fact, the girls have always been in your sight." β
Following Lady Mary's fingers, Augustus looked again at the tent area on the lawn: where several maids were sweeping the ground and cleaning up the filth created by Alfred's servants.
Augustus was suddenly surprised, and finally remembered that due to the fact that some of the servants who had died when he had asked old Vernon to tidy up the castle before, there was also a shortage of servants, resulting in not enough manpower to serve these little lords;
Especially when he thought of the maid of Lady Mary who was also active in his castle, Augustus could not help but exclaim: "What a nightmare means. β
Lady Mary smiled smugly and didn't speak, but the meaning in my eyes was not just that I had big breasts and big butts.
......
Back in the study, since Elizabeth had left, Augustus would no longer hesitate, he called Captain Philip, who had been temporarily transferred by him during this time, and explained to the latter: "Send someone to Donald's territory, I have a letter for him here, and at the same time, send someone to the territory of Viscount Constance, Viscount Fillmores, and Viscount Stephen, and also hand over my letter to them, and pay attention to safety on the way." β
Philip took the letter and bowed down.
This vice-captain, whose body is inversely proportional to his intelligence, may not understand why his Lord Earl suddenly sent so many letters at once, but Madame Mary, who did not shy away from Augustus's arrangements, must be able to smell Augustus's resoluteness and decisiveness, she was a little surprised, although she could have guessed that the young Earl Alfred would definitely not be passive all the time, but she never imagined that Augustus would make such a series of arrangements, she stood behind Augustus, and asked suspiciously: " You're going to unite all the families in the wasteland who want to be your friends, but you don't think there's any need for such a fanfare to deal with a Christopher, right?"
It was indeed in preparation for the burial of Christopher.
Alfred doesn't have the ability to attack decisively, but don't forget that Alfred has many 'friends' in the wasteland these days, especially Donald, who is himself above Christopher.
Probably considering the hand behind Christopher, Augustus did not explain the real reason to Lady Mary, he just said casually: "I will take the enemy, the strong, the weak, the cunning, the mean, the brave, the cowardly, I will take it seriously, and I would rather fight the lion than leave the enemy any chance;
Augustus turned to look at Lady Mary, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What I want to do is to make the surname Christopher disappear from this world completely." β
