Baron Marshall told Augustus about the attack on his manor that night, his sitting posture was very peculiar, probably because of his injury, and the white gauze wrapped around his burly body alternately against the background, forming a very comical picture, but he didn't realize it, just sat opposite Augustus, as if he was recounting the tragic situation of others, he described the events of that night in a few sentences, but of course he couldn't expect him to describe much three-dimensionality, and Marshall did not hide the image of his language dwarf at all, and then when he finished telling his family's experience, Marshall faced Augustus's gloomy face and said with a bold smile, My lord,You don't have to bother.,It's just that an heir died.,Although I'm injured.,But it didn't affect the ability to reproduce.,Believe me.,I'll be able to create at least ten of them after one death.,The premise is that you have to make your servant rich as soon as possible.。 Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that his only heir was chosen at all, and it is not an understatement.

Augustus smiled reluctantly, he had always had a considerable degree of affection for this rough and heroic baron, not only because the latter solved the problems of the Nile for him, but the key was that the wisdom and understanding shown by Baron Marshall at this time made Augustus, who was accustomed to dealing with the cries and pleadings of his treacherous servants, feel quite relaxed, although he knew very well that the weight of this ease was all on the shoulders of the man opposite.

After learning about the tragic situation of the Marshall family, he thought about it for a moment, then got up and patted the sturdy man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Baron, at that time, it was up to you to decide how many women you had, and your financial situation would not be a burden on you, even if you wanted to keep a valuable canary of a certain family in the Holy Empire, it would not be a problem." ”

"Canary of the Holy Empire?" Baron Marshall laughed, "I'm really looking forward to that day as soon as possible." ”

Augustus smiled, would, paused and added, "It won't be long." ”

Marshall, who had a delicate heart under his burly body, knew that his adult still had a lot of things to deal with next, and he consciously got up to say goodbye, dragging one of his injured legs, he limped to the door, which was really sad and funny, and then, just as he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, did not look back, and said in an urn voice: "I have a request, I hope you can fulfill it, my lord." ”

Augustus looked at Marshall, who was tall in his back, in confusion.

Marshall, who no longer laughed wildly, said calmly: "If it were possible, I would like to cut off Christopher's head with my own hands, fill his head with his blood, and decorate Alfred's celebration feast." ”

How could it be possible to ignore the death of his sole heir.

......

Sending Baron Marshall away, Augustus sat alone in his private study struggling to adjust his emotions, and he suggested over and over again that anger and anxiety were the greatest original sins of mankind and the ultimate source of influence on judgment, and finally calmed down after taking a deep breath. Then his right hand unconsciously tapped lightly on the desk, he frowned and analyzed Christopher's current situation, and what kind of idea the hand behind Christopher's back was making, he silently reasoned and debated himself, and continued for nearly half an hour, realizing once again that he had no way to draw conclusions from mere guesses, and then he gave up his plan again.

After all, strength is the hand of fate that determines the outcome.

Augustus thought of Christopher's hand he could not see, and of the words Albert had said as he led him to the knightly path, and he knew that he had no time to hesitate any longer.

He got up, walked back to his and Elizabeth's common study, stopped in the corridor for a moment, and looked at the chaotic refuge tent in front of the castle, he walked straight to the study and sat down lightly opposite Elizabeth, and then, with the smile handed by Elizabeth, he did not pull out the materials or documents in front of him, but looked at Elizabeth quietly, as if he was thinking, but as if hesitating.

Elizabeth finally felt Augustus' eyes and smiled suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Augustus smiled hard, first shaking his head, and then asking unusually, "By the way, last time you told me that Sophia wrote to you, what was written on it?"

"Didn't I say it, Sophia invited me to look for her in the imperial capital. Muttering inexplicably, Elizabeth also found the letter from a few days ago and tried to hand it to Augustus and let him read it for himself, but Augustus waved his hand lightly and refused, so Elizabeth had no choice but to say again: "I really don't know what you are thinking if you show it to you and don't read it." ”

Augustus still smiled and said gently, "Then why don't you go? You see, there is not a lot of work to be done now." ”

Elizabeth was about to speak, but she was clever enough to sense Augustus' true intentions before she could speak, and her smile froze on her delicate face, and she did not speak.

Augustus smiled to himself: "Go ahead, compared to the imperial capital, Ferry City is an out-and-out country town, I believe it will be a lot more interesting there." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Elizabeth's voice was calm and steady.

Augustus spread his hands and said innocently: "No, I just think that you and Sophia have a good relationship, since she invited you to the imperial capital, there is no reason to refuse." ”

"Then why didn't you say these things when I received the letter a few days ago, but only at this time?"

Augustus was silent.

Elizabeth's beautiful face did not change her mood, and she said softly: "Augustus, I am your sister, do you really think that I don't know your considerations? You must treat me as your burden again, are you planning to declare an all-out war on Christopher? But considering the person behind the Christopher family, you feel that there is no certainty of victory, and you are worried that if I fail, I will face the abyss again, right?"

Augustus smiled with difficulty: "It's not as complicated as you think, it's just that considering the recent insecurity, I want you to stay away from these insecurity, so it should be better to go to the imperial capital, after all, Sophia has just returned at this time, and she has not yet been involved in the core of Constantine's struggle, plus it is another cardinal election year, and the Mass happens to be in St. John's Cathedral, you have a pleasant time in the imperial capital." ”

"Is that really the case? Is it really just unsafe? But Augustus, you seem to have forgotten that Alfred Castle is the safest at this time. ”

Also, because more than half of Alfred's servants chose to stay in Alfred Castle, the patrols of the Knights Cathar also lost their meaning, and they were re-stationed on the periphery of the castle, coupled with Lady Mary's secret power, basically as long as all Christopher's troops did not charge from the Knights, Alfred Castle at this time was the safest place in the entire territory.

Augustus sighed softly.

Unlike Sophia's natural independence and strength, Elizabeth's weakness is almost stubborn, and sometimes Augustus is inevitably slandered, obviously looking like a supple and well-behaved child, how can there be such a smart and tenacious soul hidden under this delicate body, he would rather his sister be a beautiful and vulgar aristocratic lady.

"I told you, you can't always push me away in the face of danger like this, thinking that as long as I live well, I'll be fine, do you know that if even you die, how can I live?"

"No, in fact I haven't really considered the greatest danger, Elizabeth, you know, the mighty knights who attacked Alfred's Castle in the first place are probably in Christopher's territory. Since he couldn't hide it, he simply confessed, Augustus considered the various situations he might face in the event of a war, and he knew very well that his decision was to walk on the suspended ropes, on the one hand, Christopher was completely abandoned and vulnerable, and on the other hand, he was directly facing the frontal threat of that powerful knightly order, and if it was the latter, there was almost no doubt that Alfred had no chance of winning.

"Then why can't we endure it any longer, and it's hard for Christopher to really threaten us anymore in the current situation, right?"

Endure?

Augustus raised his head calmly, for him with a strong desire to control, on the one hand, he himself was quite disgusted, and even hated this danger that he could not control, on the other hand, if he would only blindly forbear, then he would not be able to advance by leaps and bounds on the road of knighthood in a short period of time, in the end, he was not a person who would be afraid to retreat, no matter how much pressure and danger he had, it would only eventually become the driving force for him to move forward steadily.

He didn't explain any more, and met Elizabeth's worried eyes, smiled, and said softly, "Elizabeth, this is what I have decided." ”

The stubborn Elizabeth finally couldn't restrain her emotions, and she bit her lip stubbornly: "But on what basis do you decide my affairs, and why should I obey your decision?"

Augustus was still smiling, but his eyes were getting colder, and he repeated calmly, "Elizabeth, this is what I have decided. ”

Angry, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but in the end Elizabeth still couldn't say another word, of course she could see Augustus's resoluteness, of course she could see Augustus's irrefutable, so even if she refused and struggled, it would not have any effect on the result at all, she still understood Augustus after all.

Tears slid down her eyes.

Augustus didn't seem to dare to look at her tears, he turned around indifferently: "Old Vernon will accompany you, and when I finish solving this matter, I will pick you up." ”

Then he turned his back to Elizabeth and smiled: "Remember to buy a gift for my brother and lend you a word, otherwise I will be sad." ”

No matter how sad I am, I can only bear these dirty things.
