Boulder City, Ducal Palace.

The third prince, Philip, sat on the duke's throne and lazily looked at the letters sent by teleportation magic.

Behind him, Eleanor, the "Duchess of Boulder", stood there scantily clad and obedient, massaging his shoulders and feet with two young maids who were kneeling on the ground, also in scantily clad clothes.

Suddenly, the door of the room was slammed, and the voice of the soldier came from outside the door:

"Your Royal Highness, Count Lint asks to see you."

The third prince raised his eyelids slightly and said lazily:

"Come in."

The door was quickly pushed open, and a tall, armored middle-aged male nobleman walked in.

He looked about forty years old, with gray hair and gray eyes, and his facial features vaguely resembled the third prince, but he was much more resolute than the handsome and feminine third prince.

I saw him frowning and looking at the third prince who was half-lying on the duke's seat, and then glanced at Eleanor behind the third prince, and then said to the two maids with a calm face:

"Dress Eleanor, on such a cold day, do you want her to get cold?!"

After listening to the words of the middle-aged nobleman, the two maids were unmoved.

Looking at the middle-aged nobleman's not very good-looking face, the third prince smiled and lazily ordered the maid:

"Clothe her and take her down."

After listening to the orders of the third prince, the maids bowed their heads and acted, and they put on Eleanor's coat and quickly took her down.

When passing by the middle-aged nobleman, the middle-aged nobleman bowed his head slightly, while Eleanor paused slightly and quickly bowed his head and left.

Looking at the middle-aged nobleman saluting Eleanor, the third prince was suddenly happy:

"Hehe, my dear uncle, your courtesies are as thorough as ever."

The middle-aged nobleman frowned and said:

"Your Highness, Lord Eleanor is your wife after all, something ...... Don't overdo it. ”

The third prince yawned lazily:

"Okay, I see, I'll be careful."

"Tell me, what good news did you bring me this time?"

The middle-aged man's brows furrowed even deeper, and he seemed to be a little displeased with the frivolous appearance of the third prince, but in the end he just sighed lightly, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, news has come from the Violet side, the army has been mobilized, the family has gathered 20,000 people, and it is ready to go north."

After listening to the words of the middle-aged nobleman, the third prince was in good spirits, and immediately sat up and said with a smile:

"Grandpa's speed is as fast as ever! But ......"

He touched his chin:

"Only 20,000 people? This doesn't quite look like violet's style, huh? ”

The middle-aged man was a little helpless:

"The family's mobilization is in the name of drills, Violet has been opposed to Roman all the year round, and there has always been a tradition of summoning nobles for military drills, and 20,000 people is already the limit...... If there are more people, it will be much more difficult to block the news, and it will cause Castel to be alarmed. ”

"Moreover, there are still many old nobles in the Violet Principality who have not completely returned to their hearts, and they still do not forget the Willett family, which also requires my father to devote some of his energy to keep an eye on them."

"The Willett family? The family that was stripped of their title by their father in a fit of rage and demoted to commoners? I've heard that they seem to have been attacked years ago. ”

The third prince was surprised.

The middle-aged nobleman nodded:

"Yes, but after all, it is a family that has been operating in Violet for nearly a thousand years, and even the name of the Duchy of Violet is taken from their surname, and it is good for my father to be careful."

"However, your Highness, you don't have to worry, the army mobilized this time includes five thousand elite standing guards of the Bouit-Lint family, which is enough to deal with the little Castel."

"Five thousand elites standing on stand? Indeed, not bad. ”

The third prince nodded in satisfaction.

After saying that, he asked with a smile again:

"What else does Grandpa have to say?"

The middle-aged nobleman paused for a moment and said:

"Father asked me to ask you, when are you going to attack? There is news from the North Harbor that Charlotte of Castel has led his army north to quell the rebellion, and Castel is currently empty in the south, and now is the best time to attack. ”

The third prince smiled and said:

"Don't worry, tell my grandfather, go to the border first, wait secretly, if we are lucky, we may be able to drive straight in."

The middle-aged nobleman frowned and said:

"Your Highness, wait? What are you waiting for? ”

The third prince snorted and handed over the letter in his hand:

"Uncle, Violet knows that the little earl has put down the rebellion, but she doesn't know more details, it seems that grandpa's news in the north is not so well-informed."

The middle-aged nobleman subconsciously took the letter and browsed it, and after reading it, his expression quickly became strange:

"This ...... Is it a letter from the Tulip Countdom? Charlotte of Castel united with Tulip's garrison and went north to quell the rebellion? ”

The third prince smiled:

"Tulip's garrison commander is the Earl of Gaston, a branch of the Duke of Gaston's family."

"I promised him that if I ascended to the throne in the future, I would support them to replace the Gaston branch and become the Duchy of Gaston, and he has already secretly pledged his allegiance to me......"

"Uncle, we are all our own people, and I won't hide it from you, the rebels of Castell are also our people, and the Lygliss family, like the Gaston family, has long been loyal to me."

"Hehe, Charlotte of Castel doesn't know this, Earl Gaston has gained her trust in the old exchange between the two families, and she is probably still happy to help Earl Gaston."

"I have magically summoned the Gaston and Castel rebels, and after Castre's army attacks the rebels, Gaston will defect and deal Castell's fatal blow......"

"The little count of Castell did not trust the nobles of the realm, and this rebellion almost brought all the nobles with him."

"My dear uncle, if we're lucky, maybe we'll be able to take all the nobles of Castell without a fight at all."

The middle-aged aristocrat frowned:

"Your Highness, this is indeed a very bold plan, but what if it fails?"

The third prince smiled:

"Failure is failure, and even if it fails, it can inflict heavy damage on Castel, and it will be more conducive to our attack on the Northlands......"

The middle-aged aristocrat thought for a moment, and then nodded:

"I see, in that case, then I'll summon my father and wait for news from Castel for the time being."

】

"No ......"

The third prince stretched out his index finger and shook it:

"It's going to wait for me to teleport and go north together."

The middle-aged arist's heart moved slightly, and then nodded:

"I see."

……

The middle-aged aristocracy soon left.

And the third prince also got up from his seat and called his own soldiers:

"Tell the court mage in the magic tower that it's almost time to start charging the teleportation circle."

The Magic Teleportation Array can teleport letters and items, and naturally humans as well.

It's just that the extraordinary materials that need to be consumed for long-distance fixed-point teleportation are only in the hands of the royal family.
