"Your Excellency Earl, my sovereign, I have accomplished your mission." In the county of Melendy, far away from Winterburg, the black robe that had appeared in Winterburg took off his black robe, which was already covered with snow, and revealed a vulture-like face, his nose was high and protruding, and the tip of his nose made him a little red because of the cold weather.

"Well done Andrew, I'll credit you." The pot-bellied Count held his stomach up, and the smile on his face made him look very happy.

"It is my pleasure to serve you, Lord Earl." Andrew's face was calm, and he just bent down to make his posture more respectful.

He was very jealous of his monarch in his heart, and the Count Roderick in front of him may not have any intelligence, let alone a famous count who fought with foreign races, but he had ambitions, and he was not willing to limit himself to the county of Merendi.

However, it was clear that he was not entitled to more territory from his vassals or enemies, so he had no choice but to target his clan members......

"Charles, just a hairy boy, what qualifications does he have to inherit Winterburg and Rensburgshire? The old guy is dead, and I should be the successor of those two counties! "These were the words of Count Roderick, who did not take his kin, Charles Chris, seriously at all.

"But even so I have to admit that, according to the law, he will indeed get those two counties, and the law of inheritance is sacrosanct, and I must defend it......"

"But the old Earl of Lunnce, with few heirs, and only Charles as a child for the rest of his life, this is my chance!"

Count Roderick's eyes flashed with a strange color, as long as he got rid of Charles, he might be able to pocket those two territories.

Andrew looked at his nose and nose, and seemed to have heard nothing, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, this kind of thing was not something he should hear, and he shouldn't even let anyone know, but Andrew heard these plans clearly at the moment.

The more you know, the more you know, the more you know, the more dangerous it is, the more impossible it is to get out......

"But Lord Earl, Winterburg County is so far away from us that we can't quickly know what's going on there, let alone give orders in time." Andrew knew that he was already a grasshopper in a boat, and if something really happened, Count Roderick would not spare him, so he could only do his best in this matter.

"Hahahaha, Andrew, my palace minister, how could I not think of this? Do you think I made this decision on a whim? Roderick laughed and shook his head, with a look on his face that Andrew couldn't understand.

"I've never said that the only way to do it is for Winterburg to hire the so-called villains!" Roderick said viciously, this time he had made a lot of money.

"And you think...... Where did you get your information? You know, an earl's itinerary is not something that can be made public. ”

Andrew was stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly lowered his head so as not to let Count Roderick misunderstand him because of his look.

"Sure enough, no nobleman is a simple ......" Andrew smiled bitterly in his heart, Count Roderick usually looks at Zhida and talented, and only knows how to eat, drink and enjoy himself all day long, but he didn't expect him to hide something terrible.

He was not some idiot, naturally he knew what Count Roderick meant, he was in Winterburg...... To be precise, the Earl of Lens has a backhand by his side!

And this back hand must be very simple, at least it can greatly affect some directions, after all, from the tone just now, he can hear that Count Roderick has little hope for Theresa of Blood Rose at all, in his opinion, this is just a layer of insurance.

Andrew was terrified in his heart, this kind of backhand does not know how long it has been placed, it is very likely that it was arranged when the old Earl Lens, and this Count Roderick is becoming more and more difficult to guess.

"Andrew, don't be afraid, you are my palace minister, my court's important minister, if I get benefits and glory, you will naturally not lack it." As if seeing the fear in Andrew's heart, Count Roderick smiled and patted Andrew on the shoulder, but this made Andrew more and more frightened, and he just tried to keep himself calm.

"I heard that the charr boy has arranged a new military chief?" Count Roderick asked casually.

"Yes, Lord Earl, according to my investigation, the Earl of Charles has appointed his vassal, Sir Karl Dias, as his military governor." Andrew said respectfully.

"Dias? How come I've never heard of this family? Count Roderick was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that a nobleman who can act as an important minister as the military governor of the Earl's court should have a long history and a strong reputation, but the Dias family can't find any trace of it in his mind.

"Yes, Lord Earl, it's just a budding family...... No, the Dias family is indeed a family with a long history, but it has always been unknown, and their glory is very small, and it is only in recent years that the war between the old Count of Lens and the Count of Lorraine has given them a territory and a little prestige. Andrew explained, telling Count Roderick about what he had learned about the Dias family.

"A weak family, although it has won a few wars, but its strength is not mentioned......" Count Roderick judged the Dias family after hearing this.

"I have heard that the Sylde knight of the House of Dias, Karl Dias, the eldest son of Baron Wilton, is a nobleman who will soon become the court minister of the Earl of Shire, who has fought and won many victories against the raiders of the Flo in his own domain, and is a nobleman who is extremely good at governing his territory."

Andrew was afraid that Count Roderick would despise the other party too much, so he couldn't help but mention it.

"So what? After all, he is just a knight, and although his quarries are rich, the knights and soldiers he can provide are very limited. Roderick doesn't think so, he has this qualification, who is he? The dignified Count of Merendi, he naturally did not take a new knight seriously.

Even the union of Karl and Baron Wilton seemed to him nothing more than that.

Andrew was silent, he had already reminded Count Roderick that the other party obviously didn't care, so he wouldn't say more so as not to cause the other party's displeasure.

"Andrew, don't worry too much, what did Charles appoint...... Doesn't Karl as his palace minister mean one thing? It shows that Charles does not have enough control over his territory, and he cannot get the support of his powerful vassals, otherwise how could he appoint such an important position to a knight with little prestige? Count Roderick said, waving his hand.

Andrew was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he knew what Count Roderick meant, Count Lens is a powerful earl, and he has a lot of vassals, many barons, and even some barons with a castle abound, although those castles that do not control a county, but they are much better than a manor knight like Carl, but Charles has no choice.

Therefore, one thing can be concluded, and that is that the charr does not trust his vassals, and the whole realm is in a strange relationship.

Charles wanted to find someone he trusted to help him, but after all, he was just a hairy boy and his methods were too immature...... Such a position, even if it is not trusted, should not be left to an unknown brat, which will chill his vassals. Count Roderick rebuked mercilessly, as if to condemn Count Charles as worthless.

"You're right, maybe it's a very useful thing, at least it can help you." Andrew was now convinced of his monarch, but he didn't expect that the guy he usually looked down on in his heart would have such wisdom, and he could see so much from just one thing.

If the current Earl of Synrence is at odds with his vassals or distrustful, then even if Charles dies, Count Roderick will not necessarily rebel through some means to inherit Charles Chris's domain, and even get them to support him through some bribes.

"Your ingenuity will surely bring all your enemies to their knees before you." Andrew said heartily.

Count Roderick had a satisfied look on his face, and he could see that his palace was now very admirable to him.

"Andrew, I need you to go to Winterburg once more, and the charr has ordered his vassals to pledge allegiance to him once more, and there is so much to do in between." Count Roderick ordered.

"As you wish, my sovereign, I will return to Winterburg in the shortest possible time." Andrew was not dissatisfied that Count Roderick had made him go to great lengths to get to the territory of the Duchy next door.

"Very good Andrew, you are really my right-hand man!"

"Don't dare to be my lord, it's all your wisdom."

The two boasted to each other, which can be regarded as a relief from a somewhat dull atmosphere.

"Andrew, if I'm not mistaken, you've been my palace minister for almost five years." Count Roderick asked suddenly.

"It's still half a year away, it's five years, my lord."

"You remember it very well." Count Roderick smiled dumbly.

"It's my pleasure and I'll remember it naturally." Andrew lowered his eyebrows, making it impossible to see his face.

"I'm not going to treat you badly if you've been with me for so long, and if you succeed this time, there's a barony that might suit you well......" Count Roderick said lightly.

Andrew was overjoyed, it was already equivalent to a promise.

"In the name of God, I will definitely make this plan successful, and you should be the rightful and honorable ruler of Winterburg and Rensburg!" Andrew made his own guarantees.
