Chapter 208: There is no way back
Sebastian. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Augustus had the impression that he had a head-on conflict with the fiery red-haired heir of Rodrian, and he seemed to be a core member of the circle of young masters in the imperial capital, Austin?Of course, more importantly, his father, Count Rodrian, happened to die at the hands of the Titans on the night of the Violet Manor? So, in this case, it is not difficult to imagine what it means for him to be connected with the Douglas family, who are about to be banished to the wasteland, and Augustus is also willing to believe that this young master, who has an indirect vendetta against him, will never just ask Earl Douglas for tea.
Things seem to be getting trickier.
He looked across from Miss Douglas with a playful look in his eyes.
Did this beautiful young lady who was not stupid really know what kind of effect Sebastien would have on the next Douglas and Alfred if she had made an agreement with her Douglas?
Thinking so, Augustus leaned back in his chair and asked, "But I still don't understand, what does Sebastien have to do with you coming to the wasteland first?"
Illya tucked the blonde hair hanging down her cheeks behind her ears, her mood had stabilized, and she said in a calm tone: "When facing the judgment of the empire at the beginning, in order to avoid the doom of Douglas's exile, the family exhausted all means and spent countless gold to make points, and later, even many sisters who had a blood inheritance with me were sent out, but they still couldn't change the fate of the family...... When I came, I heard that there were still people in my family who wanted to give me to an adult, or Sebastian from the imperial capital, and I didn't want to be a bargaining chip, or a gift. ”
Augustus nodded in understanding.
But he said, "Why not? You probably don't know." But this young master Sebastian is not simple, he is the first heir to the throne of the upstart family Rodrian, Rodrian, who is dead, and he has inherited the title eighty percent. Considering the friendship between the young Count Rodrien and the heir Herman, his attraction to the Imperial noble lady was theoretically second only to Prince Columbia. ”
"I know what you said, and I actually know Sebastien. Illya's expression was complicated: "But I don't want to pin my fate on someone who only hates. ”
"I've seen Sebastian and I'll never forget his eyes, the hatred that lies there. Even the devil will hate it. ”
Hatred?
Got to know Sebastien?
That is, Illya knew about Rodrian's blood feud with Alfred?
Augustus really couldn't understand the beautiful Miss Elijah.
He muttered, "I haven't asked yet, what are you seeing me for?"
Illya didn't answer immediately, just smiled, she seemed to be organizing the language.
However, Augustus quickly added: "Forget it, if it's not convenient, I would like to talk to the person behind you." After a pause, in the face of Illya's deliberate confusion, Augustus raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't believe that the way you saw me today was your idea, although I admire your courage. ”
Now that it has been debunked, Illya no longer feigns to be confused. She confessed: "It was the idea of my personal butler Murphy, no way, we are running out of time, I hope you can understand...... However, if you talk about the next things, you can talk to me, there is no convenience or inconvenience, no matter how inconvenient it is, I have already come. ”
"Are you sure you're going to talk about it yourself, including how to murder your father?"
Illya narrowed her eyes and looked beautiful and playful. It's like a kid playing a prank.
"It's also about how to send the entire Douglas family to hell. ”
......
Augustus didn't talk much about the interesting Miss Elijah in the end, and although he couldn't find her motive for lying, he certainly wouldn't believe it easily because of his suspicious personality. Elijah clearly understood, and she didn't express much displeasure, and after Augustus had finished talking, she turned to speak to Elizabeth with a relaxed expression, as if she didn't care at all about what she might be doing next. This made Augustus very interesting, as Miss Illya undoubtedly had more aristocratic qualities than the fifth in line to the throne of Clark that he had met in the imperial capital.
He left Elizabeth to entertain the Douglas heir, whom he couldn't understand at all, and left Saiyan City.
He must take the coming crisis seriously.
His time was running out.
A Douglas who was banished to the wasteland may not bring him disaster, but coupled with the upstart Rodrian, the upstart in the imperial capital of Stanford, and even Austin behind Sebastian, he is fully equipped with the strength to bring him disaster, because the reason why every family banished to the wasteland will quickly weaken, in addition to losing the fiefdom in the empire and the power of many servants, the most important thing is the loss of financial resources- For example, Douglas, after he was banished to the wasteland, his business in the empire must be gone, and the taxes of the territory should not be considered, so how can he maintain the necessary expenses of running a family? Just shouting slogans can make knights loyal forever, that is a joke, even if his family's subordinate knights have no brains, which of war horses, armor, weapons and other materials can be separated from gold?
Not to mention the elegance and affluence of life that the aristocracy would not give up at all, it is another huge expense.
But now, Douglas doesn't seem to have to worry about this problem, and I believe that Sebastien's Rodrian's will solve this problem for him well.
So Augustus couldn't let Douglas gain a foothold in the wasteland anyway.
With the participation of Austin's gang, this is also destined to be a never-ending war.
Speaking of which, Augustus really admires the proud 'Imperial Twins' more and more, whether it is in the imperial capital, or the heir of Lyon he met on the road, or the upcoming Douglas, Austin can always easily use others to make trouble for him, he never seems to have done anything, but he can always make Augustus unhappy.
......
Return to the study at Alfred Castle.
For the whole night, Augustus stood in front of a huge sand table modeled after the wasteland.
He was completely defeated in the imperial capital and almost never returned.
But this was the wasteland, his home turf, and he didn't think he could only embrace defeat, even if his enemies were still strong.
Moreover, Augustus also knew very well that he could not afford to lose, and if he lost, he would have nothing, including everything Alfred.
He couldn't retreat.
......
......
ps: It's going back to the rhythm of 5.1 again, and it's hard to maintain a stable ...... for 10 days. But there are only a few people who still read this book, and everyone understands a lot, and I try to ensure that I keep changing, and then I will start to mix in full attendance in June. (To be continued.) )
