At the castle council that night, the members of the Knights' envoys, the Duke's family, Albert, and several servants related to the case were present.

One by one, the Duke called names, and these people told all the stories of the day.

Here's how it happened, at the checkpoint into the Duchy of Barcelona, the Duke sent the heir Chuken to receive him, so that he could be proficient in government affairs, and his illegitimate son Haur was a knight to protect the security.

The new earl of Oz Casson, who was befriended and supported by Bran, arrived with a new wife (the former brother's original partner).

Perhaps because of the reception day, Oz's wife accidentally entered Churchen's room, and then some "small things" happened, but Oz did not listen to the persuasion, first kicked Churchen's lower body, cut off Haughel's ear, and took his followers to slaughter a large number of people in this small checkpoint castle, killing a total of 17 people......

When Bran heard the story, his eyes were fixed on Hauher, who flinched a little when he noticed it, and touched his ears with his hands and made painful sounds.

"Forget it, there's no need to guess this, as long as it doesn't hurt my interests." Bran said in his heart.

Albert said a few words of consolation to the sick Haughel, and then the Duke took his son-in-law to see his son Chucken, and on the hospital bed, Albert was startled when he saw the viciousness of this kick, and his lower body hurt.

When Haugher returned to his room, he smiled viciously.

The events of that day are vivid.

Oz's new wife was extremely beautiful, and Chucken, who was almost thirteen years old, was fascinated by it, and his eyes still drifted to this woman from time to time at the dinner.

A thought struck Hauhel in his mind.

Drugged the wine, and then when Oz's wife was about to leave the table, he sent someone to stop the maid and her, and brought him into Chuken's house after getting drunk, and then Chuken retired because he was too drunk, and when he returned to the bedroom, he saw Soft Fragrance on the bed, and the boy could not restrain himself for a while......

Then Ozin could not find his wife and asked Hauker, who, with Haugher's help, opened Chucken's room and found all this.

Angry Oz, he drew his long sword on the spot, like a mad lion!

He brought a total of 8 people, although they were warriors, but there were 35 men who could wield weapons in the entire level, as well as crossbow weapons, plus they were not familiar with the castle environment, so they couldn't escape at all.

In the battle of the trapped beasts, the hunter Haugher has already mastered everything.

But Haugher was willing to let go and showed mercy to Oz, so that he successfully escaped with his wife, and during the fight, his wife was seriously injured, and when she fled back to the territory, she bled to death, and Oz himself was cut off his hands and feet.

When Haugher cleaned up the environment, he killed all the people and other followers who might know about the incident, and he also cut off one of his own ears, and left a few insignificant people who were guarding the periphery, the ones who had just replied and asked them to guide the matter.

Now it seems that the move was a success.

Haughel loyally guarded Chucken, and was cut off an ear, so that his father was not to blame, and Chuken, who lost his fertility, thought that he would not be so valued by his father in the future.

Then there is the attack on Oz's territory, and if it succeeds this time, the day when you want to get the territory is not too far away.

The ear was worth a fortune, and Hocher looked in the mirror, smiling first and then smirking.

Father, Liana, Albert, Bran...... Everyone's faces made Hauhel angry.

……

In the early hours of the morning, Liana did not return to her room, continuing to take care of her brother Chucken, and Albert came to play conquest chess with Bran.

The last time the two played chess, it was at the monastery.

Albert's progress is very fast, and Bran is absent-minded, winning and losing each other.

"I asked the doctor privately, and I probably can't have children, Chuken is so pitiful, I won't be able to experience the joy of life in the future."

Bran couldn't answer this for a while, so he took it.

"What do you want?"

"Now that money is spent everywhere, the construction of the city drainage, the purchase of wool, the construction of ships, the delivery of a batch of stones from Asia Minor to build the church, I don't want to go to war...... Oz still owes a lot of money to Florence, and it will affect the interests of our country to let my father (Nefer) attack, but just now Liana told me that she seems to be pregnant, and I want to help her brother for the sake of this bloodline. ”

"I also negotiated with Oz that he would provide a commercial base in the territory as my paper sales point, as well as a supply base for my Teutonic mercenary group, so that I could go directly to the northern countries without borrowing your father, and I don't think I need to fight ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Albert interjected, "If you really turn your face, you?" As Albert spoke, he thought of a killer move and launched a fierce attack on King Bran's banner.

"We're standing in one place." Bran counted a few steps and found that he could still resist, but there was no need to dwell on it, pretending to be wrong, and admitting defeat after a few steps.

"You lost, haha...... Just have your words, I will solve the problem, and I won't let you suffer. ”

The tone was commanded by the superior, and when Bran saw Albert's smile after his victory, he realized that this good brother, who had been thought to be good since childhood, had grown up very quickly, and could no longer use other angles, but had to turn to a mixture of rivals and allies.

Bran then picked up the wine beside the bed and poured Albert and himself a glass.

Later, Albert told Bran about women, and suggested that Bran could experience it even though he was not married.

The two clinked glasses, each laughing meaningfully.

Unexpectedly, after more than a year in power, Albert's personality has changed to such a point.

That night, Bran spent the long night thinking.

The next day, Duke Never consulted with Flore again.

The reason why he wanted to keep the Knights from entering Swabia was because Oz had just received a document of approval from the Holy See last month, and it had been sent by the Knights Templar.

Never prepares a chest of treasure in the hope that Florelle will accept it, and he is willing to support Florelle's future campaign in the Order. In return, Flore had to return to Rome and pour all the dirty water on Oz's head.

On the other hand, Nefer would send someone to the Holy See to find a familiar cardinal to advise, hoping to expel Oz from his "membership".

After the penalty was broken, the name of the expedition became great.

In this way, he can justifiably send this bastard who hurt his heir to the guillotine in full view.

On December 8, Bran's northbound journey came to an end.

Flore hurried overnight and returned to Rome as soon as possible to report Oz's atrocities.

On the way back, Bran feigned disembarkation and pretended to be in pain, took refuge in a local inn, took leave of absence from Ferrore, and had him slowly transported back to Rome in a horse-drawn carriage.

In the past few months, after Bran was incorporated into Fellore's subordinates, he also paid some "gifts" in a meaningful way, and he was not in the limelight, and he admired Florelle for the implementation of his orders.
