Mrs. Angelica regretted that she really shouldn't have let that Edward Witwood survive in the first place, especially when she saw the tears on Alan's face, and she felt the urge to walk out and break him to pieces!

This guy has almost ruined all his plans!Lady Angelica gritted her teeth fiercely, and her elegant eyes were full of angry flames, but when Alan smiled and walked over and slowly put his arms around her neck, the terrible flames immediately turned into gentle love.

"Please don't let me get angry, Mother. Alan, who looked extremely weak, raised a smile on his pale cheeks: "In the name of the Radiant Cross, I will always be your daughter, and whatever you want me to do, I will not refuse - because you are my mother, and I have only you as a mother." ”

"Allen......" Lady Angelica choked, her eyes reddened slightly, and she pursed her lips gently: "Tell me good boy, are you really to that Edward Wetwood, or do you say you have ...... yourself"

"No, of course not!" Allen shook his head, but there was a hint of confusion in his watery eyes: "Actually, I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel that he is different from others - I know how bad this guy is, but when he appears, I can't help but trust this guy, trust him to do everything." ”

The blonde girl's face was filled with a certain expression called "worship", a faint pink appeared on her pale cheeks, and there was an unconscious smile at the corner of her mouth, an expression that Madame Angelica was all too familiar with, she had seen too many aristocratic girls show this look, this one as if she was going to sacrifice herself to someone.

And she herself has had ...... When marrying Otto Kwyn, despite the reluctance of the time to tell herself that it was all for the sake of the family, there was still a moment when Otto stopped in front of her on a warhorse, and Lady Angelica fell in love with the man.

Is there anything more ironic than Otto Kwyn's "curse" becoming a reality?

Suddenly realizing this, the noble lady suddenly felt a heartfelt fear, what did he want to do with this original little squire, and he desperately climbed to his current position, what was what he really wanted—titles, gold, women......

Lady Angelica has a chill down her spine, a desireless guy is the most terrible, because you can't find where his weaknesses and key points are, and the other party knows his weaknesses - Lady Angelica is very sure that this disgusting Witwood is absolutely very aware of how important Alan is to her!

I had to talk to Edward...... Lady Angelica thought silently in her heart.

.................. His Majesty's bedchamber was behind the corridor on the left side of the throne hall, and although he said so, in fact Edward himself did not know which direction it was, and could only estimate his actual position by foot measurement and the grasp of the position, and how many stairs and corridors there were in this complex royal palace, I am afraid that only the court ceremonial officer knew.

Compared with the Imperial Council in the throne hall, His Majesty Horace prefers to convene those real close ministers and important staff members to discuss matters in his own bedroom or study, which is the real "Imperial Council", and the number of people who are eligible for this invitation has never exceeded two hands.

After all, it is impossible for the core figures of this kingdom to exceed ten people...... Edward muttered silently in his heart, smiling and bowing to the people who were walking towards the door of the dormitory, "Have you been summoned to the meeting by Your Majesty, Grand Master Mercer Kane?" ”

"I've heard about someone's recent behavior, and it seems that it is the right thing to do for you to stay in Turin City. Grand Master Mercer smiled reluctantly, and then his face returned to solemnity: "What happened to Green Turn......? Very bad for him. ”

"The courts in the House of Representatives will be heard for a while, and then there will be a long number of lawsuits, but the outcome will not change much. Edward shook his head: "Green is an admirable knight, his loyalty and responsibility are my example, he is worthy of his status as a knight of the royal family!"

"I used to have a lot of prejudices about this young man because of his relationship with Luscent Minest, and now it seems really humiliating. Mercer Kane's solid face also showed a hint of sadness: "I was supposed to be on the scene, but in the end he was left alone. ”

"Why haven't you gone in yet, Honorable Grand Master Mercer Kane?" The little prince who suddenly walked in from the outside looked curiously at Mercer, who was still standing outside the door, Anson seemed to have changed a lot recently, completely lost his original arrogance, and bowed slightly politely: "Father and the rest of the adults are waiting for you." ”

"That was my negligence. To the young but very courteous and polite Highness Anson, Mercer Kane paid him very kindly: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, otherwise I would have made a very serious mistake. With that, Mercer hurried in.

It wasn't until Mercer walked away that Anson's "good child" posture immediately disappeared without a trace, and Edward couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth - this prince would not be a "meek and polite" child, he was just because he didn't know much about all this, and the scene at the dinner that day was what Anson really looked like.

"Sir Edward Witwood, what are you laughing at?" Anson glared at Edward very alarmedly, "Did I just do something that would make you want to laugh?"

"No, Your Highness. ”

"Then hurry up, we need to get in there as soon as possible. The little prince snorted coldly: "I have to let my father see that I arrived on time, otherwise he will definitely think that I have no sense of time and no prince should be!"

His Majesty Horace, who sat in an easy chair in the dormitory, looked much weaker than usual, and seemed to be infected with the wind chill, perhaps because of the approaching winter, and specially covered with an extra delicate woolen blanket, and the firewood in the fireplace burned so vigorously that the whole room could feel the boiling heat.

Obviously, it is impossible for nothing to bring all these people in at such a time, especially in the face of his own slight illness - Edward had heard Anson mention it before he walked in, and in two weeks at most, the Dominica envoys would arrive in Turin.

The city of Turin had only recently erupted in a march against the Dominicans, and the nobility's attitude towards these Gentiles forced His Majesty Horace to take the matter seriously, so he called an impromptu meeting to decide what to do.

Apparently Lord Nafario Brindisi was far more enthusiastic about the matter than Holard had come, and almost from the very beginning he was so enthusiastic and impassioned that his already pale complexion was even more morbid, not at all as calm as he had been in the throne hall.

It took Edward a few words to understand why the Dominica Mission was so valued by His Majesty Horace - the Dominican War thirty years ago had devastated the kingdom at that time, and even a civil war broke out shortly after, and the leading family at that time was directly overthrown. It is only in recent years that they have slowly quelled the war and replaced it with a new leader.

Interestingly, the faction of leaders that was overthrown thirty years ago was the Honan family, from which Edward's first victory, Wizard Aiden, was born.

"They are very weak now, and the so-called 'Archons of Dominica' Otovik have only just won the remaining rivals, and they can't even get the other families to submit to him. Nafarion's expression was very excited: "This will be a very good opportunity, Your Majesty, we can even solve many things once and for all!"

"Oh...... It sounds like a bold plan. Horace, who looked a little tired, coughed twice, smiled and asked, "What should we do?"

"They need the recognition of the Kingdom of Turin, so we can force them to agree to many conditions. Chancellor Nafario Brindisi said, word for word: "Abolish the concession of Dominican merchants in King's Port, raise the tax on all Dominica merchant ships, and order that they no longer be allowed to enter any neighborhood of Turin outside King's Port." ”

"In addition, many nobles in the city of Turin have been burdened by the money lenders of Dominica and have incurred huge debts, and it is just this opportunity to abolish them all at once, and no one will be allowed to lend money again, and they will all be expelled from the country!"

The more Nafario spoke, the more excited he became, and he even began to dance: "Not only that, but Your Majesty Horace, please don't forget that there are also several city-states in the Kingdom of Dominica that have a lot of followers of the Glorious Cross, and they deserve the protection of the Kingdom - let us take this opportunity to make Dominica declare its submission once and for all!"

"But what if they don't accept such humiliating conditions, as you think?" The surrounding ministers were still silent, but Mercer Kane couldn't accept this guy continuing to talk nonsense: "What's more, they definitely won't accept it!"

"Then declare war on them. Nafario replied coldly.
