The second white verse sixty-nine is in place

"Looks like you've finally got the hang of it, Robin...... No, it should be said that you are finally starting to prepare for your last lesson as a general. Béral replied with a smile. "This lesson is called: Coordinating within the military. Ha ha...... Actually, that's not the case, it's just a simple sentence: infighting. Or it is called a struggle for power and profit, and of course, it can also be said to be intrigued...... Anyway, it's good to understand the meaning. ”

"General, I don't know much about ......"

"Let's be clear, how much do you know?"

"I think it's extremely unwise for Parry to do so in the current situation. It is very bad for the country and for oneself. You sued me before......"

"He's making a dangerous attempt. Bayral interrupted Robin. "You say, why did he go so far out of town to meet me?"

"Of course, you want to have a good relationship with you, General?"

"What is the purpose of good relations?" Béral smiled. "It's not to repay my old friendship with his father, is it? Speaking of which, there is no special friendship between me and Rafa. ”

"For ......" Robin had a vague feeling, but he couldn't say it.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken," Beller said. "He wants to win me over and try to overhead and fight against Ashrufat...... Or to fight against the people sent from Eagle Falcon City. ”

"It's not going to do him any good!" Robin cried. "Only chaos can benefit from our internal struggles. There should be no such fool in the world, unless he's a Chaos believer......"

"Hahaha...... Robin, you're thinking too directly. Béral laughed. "That's right, it's a very stupid act, and doing such a thing in the current situation of the great enemy has the tragic consequences of the possibility of total annihilation. But," he accentuated the tone of the last two words. "If he succeeds, do you know what will happen? I mean defeating Chaos on the one hand, and emptying the main commander on the other, and taking all the credit for himself...... If that's the case......"

"But the chances of success are so low! No sane person would do that. ”

"One risk, one benefit. That's a very good statement. You're right, Parry is really unlikely to succeed by doing this, but along with the risks, there are benefits. This benefit, or rather the interest he thought was worth the risk. Beller shook his head. "In that sense, he's not a good general, at least he's not a pure general. ”

"What should we do?"

"What should I do? Of course, I stood aside and watched the excitement. Bayral replied. "I'm more worried about what I saw today. Robin, if we had seen those two bodies earlier today, the bodies would not have decomposed to that point...... What do you say will happen? Imagine what a group of recruits who lack experience in fighting Chaos would see a corpse. ”

"If an ordinary soldier sees the deceased, he will probably try to bring the body back to the camp and report it to his superiors. Robin replied. That was his first thought when he saw the corpse.

"Well, if that body had been found earlier...... And then be brought back to the camp by ignorant recruits...... I'm afraid it's going to be tricky. Bayral replied. "It's an old trick of the Nurgle, but ...... After all, it's been almost a decade. You can't expect seasoned veterans to have in every team. ”

"General, what did you say before...... Is it true?"

"It's not necessarily true or false, it's just a speculation. Bayral replied. "But these two deserters who have become such virtuous deserters...... I don't think it's necessarily a wizard lurking nearby, maybe it's just using some kind of evil magic item to achieve this effect...... In short, be careful. If that chaotic sorcery really had the power that the church feared, maybe ...... Things can get out of hand. ”

......

Ellynn paced around the room belonging to the Prime Minister.

To tell the truth, after moving back to the palace, the office conditions immediately jumped a notch. His original office (the one in the makeshift palace) was too small for a horse to turn around. But it's big enough for a horse-drawn carriage to maneuver freely. Not only that, but there is also a lounge dedicated to the Prime Minister next door to this office, which is very suitable for taking a break after being tired.

Beside him, to be more specific, sitting on the couch in the office was none other than the Grand Governor of the court, Skadra. As usual, Skadra wore his black gown, his face expressionless, and only a pair of glasses looked at Iryn as he walked around.

"Lord Scadera," Ilynn finally stopped. "With all due respect, but I think ...... This idea of yours...... Something is wrong. ”

"Prime Minister, what's wrong?"

"Anyway, that Ashrufat is just a ...... Before he came to Eagle Falcon City, he was just a squire nobleman. You understand that the so-called 'squire noble' is just a more euphemistic term, that is to say, he is just a commoner!"

"Prime Minister, I think you may have mistaken one thing. Ashrufat was indeed of noble origin, the son of a knight. His father was a knight of Ryan, a knight with a fiefdom. ”

"You know, it's just a statement. There is no evidence of his pedigree......"

"Do you think that one is qualified to be with us in the Griffin family...... A man who was engaged to marry two sisters at the same time...... Could it be of unknown origin?"

"I didn't mean to, but...... Even if that's true, he's just the son of a knight, and we're talking about the marriage of a queen!"

"He's an earl now. Skadera reminded. "An unquestionable aristocracy. Maybe the Earl and the Queen may not be enough, but aren't we still years away from our marriage?

Ellynn sighed. "You know, I'm the prime minister, but this thing is ...... I don't have much of a say...... Why do you want to ask for my opinion? The marriage of the royal family or something, you ...... Or that Her Majesty is the leader. ”

"You are too modest. In any case, your opinion is important to me. ”

This is what it means to hold chicken feathers as an arrow. Irene didn't have any reason to oppose this decision right now, and even if there were, it was the kind of thing that couldn't be put on the table. But if he doesn't object now, then Skadera will openly take out the hat of "Prime Minister Elynne also expressed his approval" in the future. Erynn is well aware that once confronted with this hat, then most of the opponents will choose to shut up.

"I still don't feel right. You know, between him and your two nieces...... There is a marriage contract. ”

"Hehe, if it's 'marriage', your concerns are completely correct, and I couldn't agree more. But if it's just a 'marriage contract,' ......" Skadera let out two "hehe" laughs. "I don't think you need to be particularly concerned. ”

"Her Majesty the Queen is still young after all......"

"So we're talking about a future thing, aren't we?"

Irene had no idea that Skadra would suddenly bring up this matter at this juncture. Due to his lack of preparation, he found it difficult to parry Skadra's aggressiveness.

"The future is unpredictable, and who knows what will happen?" replied Ellene. "Excuse me, I think, Lord Skadra, that we can talk about this later. ”

"I don't really need to go into details, but if I talk about intentions, I don't think it's too early to talk about them. Skadera made it clear that he wanted to make things clear, much to Elenn's embarrassment.

"Can you give me a moment to think about it?" said Elenn.

"Oh, it's just intentions, what's the need to think about it?" Skadera was as calm as ever, but tough as steel, refusing to let up. "What do you think of Count Ashrufat...... Is it fit to be the Queen's husband?"

"This ......" Eryn wanted to push, but it was difficult to do so.

"Her Majesty the Queen has expressed a clear intention......"

"That's because she's under the influence of Chaos Magic. Ellen blurted out.

"That's just a possibility. At least for the time being, Her Majesty the Queen is probably very attached to Count Eshurufat. Now the question arises, is Ashrufat really suitable, and if not, what should we do?"

I'm afraid this old thing wants to get serious!" Ellen sneered in her stomach. Is it worth it to work for him that Ashrufat is only your nephew and son-in-law, and not your illegitimate son? I don't know what's going on in your head!

I want to think about it, but I can't say it. Allyn could only continue pacing around, but could not speak.

"By the way, have you consulted anyone else, let's say, our acting Chancellor of the Exchequer?" said Ilynn, who had finally come up with a brilliant move.

"Prime Minister, to be honest, I've been with quite a few people. Skadera replied. "Everyone's attitude towards this matter...... Well, there isn't much opposition. As for Shirley, don't worry. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"Miss Shirley explained her position to me. If the marriage between Ashrufat and my two nieces fails, then there is no need for her to be involved. And that marriage contract, as I just said, is just a marriage contract, and it's not a big deal. ”

This old guy ...... What the hell is he trying to do?

Allyn thought about it. But it wasn't as simple as it seemed - at least he didn't see Skadera having any interest in it. Yes, Ashrufat had been his old subordinate - but the fact that the old subordinate had become the Queen's husband didn't seem to do Skadera himself any good. Of course, Irene also believed in Skadra's loyalty, but this matter was ...... Well, it has nothing to do with loyalty. Because loyalty or disloyalty does not mean that Skadera worked so hard in this matter.

In the end, Irene decided to take the right attitude.

Skadera is not the kind of person to ignore. Although everyone knows that the position of the Grand Governor of the Imperial Court does not sit at the Imperial Council, everyone also knows that this position is crucial and delicate, and in a sense, the authority is great enough to influence the politics of a country. And Skadera is nowhere near as harmless as he seems. At the very least, I can be sure that Skadera has strong allies in politics.
