Chapter 28: The Ritual (Part II)

The rumors from the outside world that Lady Eru is also aware of it, and she does have a last resort, although this hardship cannot be put into words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lady Elou was angry at Bronck's absurdity, but she didn't have much desire for revenge. She knew that the other party's intention was just to have another child, not as unbearable as the world imagined.

But she couldn't defend it, because the other party's behavior was indeed worthy of the slander given by people.

She couldn't understand the other party's behavior, and she was deeply ashamed, but that didn't make her a reason to take revenge on the other party. No matter how unbearable and crazy the other party is, it is her husband.

Lady Eru didn't mind forgiving her husband, but she couldn't. Because she is the last member of the Morte family, she must be responsible for the reputation of the entire Morte family.

It may be absurd for an outsider who does not understand the culture and customs of the aristocracy to claim that a woman with the surname "Deflo" claims to be a member of the "Morte" family, but for the nobles, it is indeed a matter of course.

The position represented by the word "Madame" was so important that only the wives of nobles were eligible for this title. If other women don't want to be dried corpses on the gallows, then the best thing to do is to bury their desire for the title deep in their hearts and not let it be revealed.

A nobleman can only have one wife, and in addition to wives, a nobleman can have countless mistresses and maids, but no matter how much he loves these women, he will never dare to give them the title of lady, unless he wants to isolate himself from the aristocratic class.

Unlike what the commoners imagined, in the aristocratic family, the status of the lady was almost equal to that of the nobles, not only did she have the right to command the retainers, but she could even stand next to the nobles when worshipping the ancestors.

That position was before her death, and even the eldest son didn't dare to hope for it.

Such a thing is easy to understand, because for some "pleasant" reasons, the loss rate of the nobles and their heirs is quite high. On the other hand, the identity of the lady is also an elder who has grown up after an accident with the nobles and guides the immature next leader.

As a result, they were given the respect they deserved and were eligible to inherit the title of nobility, although they were ranked lower on the bill.

For this reason, it is only natural that Lady Eru should consider herself a member of the Morte family. Even those "supernumeraries" don't find anything wrong with it.

The reason why Lady Elu is so eager to hold the succession ceremony is not because of her desire for power. As the other nobles had guessed, she didn't need to be like that at all.

Not to mention that there is no other heir to the Morte family besides her, even if Bell or Monro is still alive as an heir, as their mother, or as a mother in name, she also has great power in this territory.

It's not revenge, it's not greed, then I'm afraid no one else knows the real reason except for Lady Ailu herself.

She couldn't tell anyone because of the secrets and the speculation in her heart.

First, she needs to make Blanc the former lord as soon as possible in order to restore the lord's sense of belonging to the Morte family. In the same way, she also wants to get the Moult family out of the embarrassing position of "the laughing stock of the aristocracy" as soon as possible.

Another reason is that other people died too strangely.

Both the young children and the sophisticated Bronk died a reasonable death, and even the nobles, who had never minded speculating on others with the greatest malice, accepted the result with peace of mind, without doubting whether it was her mad murderer.

She felt a little frightened, as if there was an invisible palm manipulating it all in the dark.

Of course, she also knew that this was her nervous thoughts, after all, the nobles had their own way of judging.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that if she really did all this, then the Earl of Bronck, who has a wealth of "experience in struggle", could not have been unaware of it, and those loyal retainers would not be so calm.

What's more, the deaths of these Morte family members are indeed reasonable and there is no doubt about it.

Over the years, there have been too many such things, and the Bronke family is just a little more unlucky, and they are definitely not the most unlucky.

Although the crisis was only Lady Elul's own speculation, she was eager to become lord of the Morte Lords and adopt an heir to determine the next successor. lest one day when he becomes a member of the deceased, the territory falls into the hands of the temple because there is no one to inherit it.

She already had a plan in mind about the candidate for the next successor, but what she didn't know was that there was another one who was also eyeing this position......

Mephistopheles roamed the icefields, passing hunters and guards hurrying past him, but no one paid even a single glance to him. They just subconsciously avoided Mephistopheles' position, completely unaware of why they were doing it.

Although he didn't deliberately hide his figure, for Mephistopheles, who touched the edge of the rules, hiding from these "ordinary people" was as simple as them breathing and drinking water.

If you want to find him, you must at least have mastered the golden rank and above of elemental power.

Of course, if he deliberately disguised himself, he didn't want to be able to spy on him if he wasn't a legendary rank who had mastered the rules.

Thinking of this, Mephistopheles couldn't help but think of the old man in the cemetery, a gold-rank "sue for the dead".

He frowned, knowing that the other party might have found something, but he didn't care, because he had such strength.

Although there may be a Legendary Rank behind the other party, he doesn't believe that the "Dead One" would be so unwise.

The "tellers" who have always stayed out of the fight will not participate in such a thing, and the "fragile" nerves of the nobles and the temple cannot withstand their toss, especially the action of a legendary "teller", which will definitely make all forces vigilant about this group.

After all, Mephistopheles isn't one of those lowly demons, is he?

A smile bloomed on his cheeks, and the young man put the worry of "suing the dead" behind him, he was indeed not an opponent of the legendary rank, but if you want to really kill him, it is not enough to be a legend, at least you have to be the incarnation of a god to attack.

This is the gap brought about by the life level, as the ancestor of the devil, Mephistopheles has become a member of the golden life in terms of life form with high-level demons and official gods, although his strength is far from the latter two, but at least the potential is not different?

Mephistopheles thought to herself as she searched carefully for her target.

He needed an Iceborne to complete his next plan, one that would help him become Lord of Morte.

This is also the reason why he must kill the Bronk Lord, only when the family has come to an end, it is easier for people to believe in the sudden appearance of the "Lord of Zhongxing".

Mephistopheles's power is "desire", although he can only use this power superficially now, but it is definitely a crushing to deal with a silver knight like Bronke who has a huge hole in his heart.

The loss of all his children would make Bronk feel guilty about his fathers, make him thirst for a new heir, and even make him regret the murder of Monroe, which is why he grew to dislike Fawkes, not because of the other party's discouragement of his absurd behavior, at least not all.

These are all kinds of desires, and for Mephistopheles, this dazzling desire like a night light is a noose wrapped around the neck of the other party, and as long as he pulls it lightly, he can make the other party completely die.

However, Mephistopheles did not do this, he not only needed the other party's fallen soul, but also needed to make the other party's death reasonable, so as not to make people suspect him who was about to come to the forefront.

So he amplified the Bronck's desire for an heir, and found the fragments of the teapot that had been shattered by the Earl that day.

On the fragment of the teapot that was poisoned by Monroe, there was not only disappointment and resentment, but also guilt and regret. So it became the best medium, one that would allow the Count of Bronck's desires to destroy himself......
