Ducal Palace.

Inside the palatial palace.

Arthurf is reporting his work to his master.

"According to the news from our informant, Duke Stanny's family has begun to contact Lilian, and the result of the contact is not yet known, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for the two sides to reach a united front.

Duke Stanley himself should have known about it, so he didn't hide it much, as if he deliberately let other parties know about his behavior, and his subordinates privately thought that his intention to disturb the line of sight was greater.

As for Prince Lawrence's side, as the last living prince and the most qualified candidate to inherit the throne on the surface, he has not moved, and the tacit understanding established by all parties and unanimously directed against him is still firmly established.

But several of our informants have been found out, and now the remaining two do not dare to come forward easily, unless the situation is really urgent, it will be difficult to obtain more information......"

Gladys, who was sitting in a high position, leaned on the steel armrest of a huge chair, supported her head with one hand, and listened to the eloquence of her henchmen, without saying a word, but her thoughtful look was difficult to hide.

She folded her legs, brown leather boots dangling, like the divergent thoughts of her owner.

waited until Arthur finished explaining before he spoke: "The various factions have entered a state of equilibrium some time ago, and the return of Lilian, who has royal blood, will naturally make this pool of stagnant water ripple a little, and also make her the focus of the spotlight in a short period of time."

But she alone can't break this balance, at most it's just a little more bargaining chips for a certain party, unless she can inherit the title of her deceased father like me. ”

Arthurf bowed and said, "As you said, Lilian is not to be afraid, and now to break this balance in the royal city, at least those few people are needed, and there are big moves, or...... The old king is completely out of order.

But Lilian's return has given those few people a chance to follow up, but I don't know what they will do, and now the date of her promotion ceremony has not been completely finalized, it should be that some people want to make something out of it.

So Master Gladys, what are we going to do next?

Do you need to woo Lilian, if you need to, your subordinates will arrange it later. ”

"Let's wait and see another day."

Gladys spoke, "I grew up watching Lillian, and I slept in the same bed with her before, so I know her true personality under a false mask.

For Stanny, she can be said to have no united front value, after all, when Lilian's father was liquidated, Stanny's old ghost was in the vanguard.

Even if he dared to let Lillian join his camp, he would not really trust an outsider who was obviously irreconcilable with him, and whether Lillian really let go of the hatred of the year and thought about his own interests, he would not choose Stanny's side. ”

"You're laughing."

With a respectful and unobtrusive compliment, Arthurf said, "Of all the most powerful candidates, you are the youngest, but a few years older than Lillian, and it would be presumptuous to say that you have watched her grow up, you are at the best age, and you are also the brightest rising star in the royal city." ”

"Huh."

Gladyse laughed when she heard this: "I really can't get used to your flattering face, but as a woman, I really can't find the point of annoyance when I hear others compliment her youth." ”

Arthur struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Your subordinates are just telling the truth, you are indeed in your prime, presumably everyone who witnesses your beauty cannot refute the words of your subordinates, and you can't find such an eyeless person in the royal city." ”

Gladys's mouth showed a playful smile, she was in her early thirties, indeed as Arthurf said, she was still charming, from beginning to end she could only see a mature and plump atmosphere, the perennial living environment and maintenance, so that she could not see the slightest old age, if she changed into flowery clothes, someone would believe that she was in her twenties.

"But I seem to have heard that many people are secretly scolding my old witch."

"That's the kind of person who basically shut up forever, hasn't he? They are just jealous of your looks and wealth. ”

"yes, it's better for someone like that to keep their mouth shut completely, rather than basically."

Gladys meant something.

Obviously, some of the people who have strong opinions about her have not been able to shut up completely.

It goes without saying to which class these people belong to.

Arthurf replied, "Aren't you doing this, and you will succeed, and all those who have no eyes will fall into the dust as their tastes." ”

Gladys smiled, didn't go any deeper into the topic, and said, "Tell me about the current situation of my two unsuccessful brothers, they haven't thought about it, and they want to try to resist, right?" ”

Assef replied, "Mistress Bartlet and Mistress Antotoni have learned their lesson completely, and even if someone secretly throws an olive branch at them, they will not dare to take it again."

Their choice is to directly report the informant who tried to save them from the fire, and the only appeal is only, I hope you will be kind to them after the deed, don't forget the brother-sister relationship, and also, give the duke's position to you. ”

"Ha ......"

Gladys couldn't help but snort and said, "What an unsuccessful brother, such soft bones, like a lost dog......

But it's pretty much the same, there is no place for them in this family, and I am the new head of the family.

As for the favor of ceding my dukedom?

Haha, it seems that they haven't figured out the situation yet, and they didn't even kneel on the ground, begging for my charity and forgiveness, and still holding their brother's shelf. ”

Arthur sneered: "In the future, they should be able to gradually see the situation clearly, maybe this is the stubbornness that belongs to the elder brother in the end, what are you going to do with them?" ”

Gladys said lightly: "Let's raise it first, when I think about it one day, when I have time, go and see them in person, and see how much gold there is in the kind of stubbornness you said." ”

"Yes."

Assef lowered his eyebrows.

"That's right."

Gladyse remembered something and said, "I heard that you have recruited a good guest from outside?" ”

"Yes."

Arthurf nodded: "He has a special secret art, and his subordinates thought that it was enough to help Master Gladys, and he was also a trustworthy person, so he invited his subordinates." ”

"Where? Has it been tested by Doug? ”

"I'm waiting outside the hall, and Lord Doug has tested it."

"Call in and take a look?"

"Okay, as you wish."

Soon, Hei Nie Yuan, who had been standing quietly outside the hall, was summoned.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he slowly stepped into the palace.

He was still wearing the Scarlet Moon mask, which he hadn't taken off, revealing a sense of mystery all over his body.

It was only when he walked in front of Arthur and glanced at the woman on the steel high chair that Hei Nie Yuan saluted:

"I've seen Mistress Glady."

Gladys looked at her twice and asked:

"What's the name?"

"Tony Stark."
