Chapter 32: Proverbs

Cecilia's business provided her husband with a large amount of money, and the Duke of Lunición was able to pay his ballooning bills thanks to this steady stream of gold coins.

"Lunición itself is not a problem, the problem is Sister Cecilia. "She loves that guy very much, and the only thing that Lunicion deserves is her affection for my sister." I can't hurt my loved ones, but I also don't want to let that bastard go. With that, the king spread out his hand and looked at the three men present, as if asking for help.

Duke Ramonard coughed twice, but he didn't speak. Jean Jacques squinted as if he were asleep, and if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still moving together, the baron would have thought he would have slept here. It's a tricky question, how can a couple with deep feelings convince their wife to enjoy their husband being roughly dragged away by wolf-like soldiers while holding coffee, well, this is definitely a technical job.

"Aha, that's a real problem. "I won't arrest my brother-in-law in front of my sister, I need a reason to keep everyone open." Now the baron was pondering on the floor, and he finally came up with a solution: "Your Majesty, can we stuff a little gift into the Duke of Lunicion's house?"

The king sat up straight: "Be specific, Baron. ”

"We can send someone to sneak into his house and quietly put some forged letters or pagan ・・・・・・ in some private place" The baron did not continue, planting blame is a common method in the ancient countries of the East, very old-fashioned, but also very effective.

When Mongisa V heard this, he leaned back on the throne again, and he turned his searching eyes to the other two nobles, and the Duke nodded: "Looks like a good idea." Jean Jacques did not say anything to refute this obvious violation of chivalric rules, he only opened his eyes and bent down to indicate that he had no objection.

"Then the task of forging the letter and the follow-up action will be left to you, Ramonard, and the content is best to collude with the Assuna people and resell military supplies. The little king waved his hand sharply and made a slashing motion, "This crime will make him condemned by the Father, Baron, you go and assist His Royal Highness." ”

"Forged letters, Your Excellency Baron, you are really a man of a lot of thoughts. In the richly decorated carriage, Duke Ramonard picked up a roll of parchment and handed it to Rildra.

The Duke's carriage was so comfortable that it was almost impossible to walk on it, and sitting on a thick silk fabric, Lildella opened it, and a very beautiful floral script appeared on the paper. The Duke explained, "This is a letter from the Asuna who tried to make a private agreement with me in the hope that I would remain neutral in the event of war. I didn't say yes, or I wouldn't be sitting here. ”

"It was the right decision, and the Kingdom and the entire world of Grace will thank you. ”

"The atmosphere of war is getting stronger, and the hawks of the Asuna people and the likes of our Duke Clark are gradually increasing. We must first solve the problem of Lunición. I will have the letter and reply forged as soon as possible according to the letter just written, and you will be responsible for throwing him into the Duke's palace. As for where to put it, I'll give you a map in a moment. ”

The baron shrugged his shoulders: "I really hope my choice is not wrong, I don't know what will happen to the Duke of Luncion?" The duke patted him on the shoulder: "This is not a matter for us to care about, the king has his own judgment." What we need to do is to integrate the forces of the entire country as soon as possible. ”

The baron nodded in agreement, in such a situation, the highest echelons of the kingdom were still thinking about calculating each other, which was also a helpless choice.

After all, Mongisa V did not want to forgive his brother-in-law at all.

The duke's residence was not very far from the castle, and when he got out of the carriage, the baron saw at a glance the Count of Annaba and his daughter standing there arguing fiercely about something. They were somewhat surprised to see the Baron carrying the Duke out of the carriage.

The Duke came over with a smile: "I heard that you have a little misunderstanding in the Bena Valley?"

"A warlike lad and a group of brave knights. The Count replied, the anger in his eyes not yet gone, and his voice was filled with the anger he had tried to suppress. Bernice glanced at Erdra, gave the duke a knightly salute, and hurried out of the duke's mansion.

"She seems angry?" asked Duke Ramonard.

"She's just a wayward girl, she doesn't understand anything, but she wants to do what she wants. It would have been nice to marry your nephew, but she ・・・・・・."

The Duke interrupted the Count's complaint with a wave of his hand: "It's nothing, I just mentioned it casually at the dinner, since Bernice doesn't want to marry him, then forget it." The affection between us will not be deepened because of this, nor will it be forgotten because of this. The Earl of Annaba shook his head, but said nothing.

"Go find your daughter, the Holy City has not been peaceful lately. ”

Walking into the mansion, a sense of Assuna came to your face. The Duke seemed to like the roughness and mystery of the Oriental steppe, and the layout of the building and the variety of ornaments showed the preferences of this noble highness.

"I love the style of the Arsuna. The duke saw the baron caressing the pillar carved with the Asuna script, "If it weren't for the difference in faith, there are many people in this nation who would be worthy of friendship." He pointed to his head, "Sometimes it's better not to get too attached to the difference between us and theirs." ”

"Tolerance is the greatest virtue, Your Highness the Duke. ”

"I'm glad you're not a fanatical knight. Duke Raymond himself poured a glass of milk wine for the baron, "It's a pity that there are too few people like you." Yes, we and the people of Asuna have different beliefs, different habits, and even different appearances, but this is not a reason for war. God has never instructed us to deal with another people with the sword and the sword. ”

The baron suddenly remembered a sentence from his previous life, and he read it out: "The king's order may not be violated, and the father's order may not be reversed." But remember, even under the royal power, before the hegemon, people must not ask their own conscience. You can't deduce that you were just forced to be helpless in the face of God, and you can't deduce that it was an expedient measure at that time, and you can't shirk it. Remember!"

The Duke glared at Lildra in astonishment, so much so that the wine in his hand, which he was about to drink, was spilled on his precious silk robe. Its owner, however, did not care. "The king's order may not be violated, and the father's order may not be reversed. But remember, even under the royal power, before the hegemon, people must not ask their own conscience. You can't deduce that you were just forced to be helpless in the face of God, and you can't deduce that it was an expedient measure at that time, and you can't shirk it. ”

The duke silently repeated the baron's words, and after half a sound, he raised his head: "This sentence is what the wise man said, and the strong man did. ”
