Verse 226 is similar

Beller met Robin and Irynne at the Temporary Palace, the former Regent's Residence. Specifically, he first met Robin (who coincidentally happened to be waiting for news from Beller) here, and then met Prime Minister Irlenn with Robin's support.

Even an old guy like Ellen still clearly showed a look of "great relief" when he saw Bayral appear in front of him intact.

"It's really good that you're okay, General Belle......" Ellynn immediately noticed that Beller was a little unusual at the moment—because Beller was clenching his legs at this time, and the movements of his whole body looked unnatural. "What's wrong with you? Are you hurt? What happened last night?"

"A group of cultists actually launched an assassination," Beller graciously admitted. As he said this, he seemed to trigger a wound, and the muscles in his face twitched because of the pain. "I finally fought my way out of the bloody way, and I was lucky to meet a 'kind person' to take me in, and now I have come back. ”

When he said the word "well-wisher", Bayral not only added an extra accentuated tone, but also mixed a three-point self-deprecating flavor in his voice.

"Are you hurt?" Erynn didn't notice the subtlety of Baylor's words. But he was pleased to see that there was not much dissatisfaction in Baylor's words - it was much better than he expected.

"Wound......ed for some reason in the course of this escape," Beller's face twitched again as he spoke. "But it's better than losing your life. ”

What followed was a routine conversation. In short, the next step was decided. Bayral would recuperate in Eagle City for seven or eight days due to his injury before starting that negotiation. Of course, on the other hand, Elenn also assured Beller that the falcon city would "completely and forever solve this latent cancer".

So much had happened on this day, and it was only at dusk that Béral returned to his former residence. Robin had helped Bayrell all the way back, so it was only natural that he found out where Bayral was injured. Of course, Robin wasn't a fool, and he asked the question all the way back to his lodgings, when there was no one around.

"General, what happened last night?"

"Isn't it enough that I'm back alive?" replied Béral.

"Where are you during this time......?

"Hey. Beller let out a rare sigh, but did not answer. At this time, there were guards outside to report that the doctor sent by Prime Minister Ellenn had arrived.

It must be said that Iryn's movements were indeed fast enough, Bayral came back with the front foot, and the doctor he sent arrived with the back foot. The doctor was a man in his sixties who looked like a famous doctor at first glance. Robin stepped out of the room, leaving the doctor alone with Baylor while he was outside.

This room wasn't the type of room that was tightly insulated, and even if Robin hadn't eavesdropped on the door, the sound would still leak through the crack in the door and reach his ears.

"Ah...... From this injury, I must say that it was not an accidental accident, but a deliberate injury...... I gotta say, it's a good thing the blow wasn't big enough, otherwise it would......"

"General...... It's not bad...... Your injuries are not very serious, and they will recover in five or six days after applying the medicine...... But these days, you'd better not touch women......"

"Medicine, medicine doesn't need to be changed. Your injuries weren't too serious, and besides, you did a little phlebotomy for you. By the way, by the way, in order to keep the wound clean during this time, you need to take a bath, and it is a careful bath......"

After a long time, the doctor took his leave and went out of the house and re-entered Béral's room.

"Robin, what's going on out there? I mean security. ”

"General, they have sent you a whole team of soldiers. I believe that what happened last night will never happen again. I'm sorry, Shogun. Robin said with a little frustration. "Yesterday we actually ...... It didn't work at all. ”

Yesterday's Assassin used a drug that had a strong hypnotic effect, rendering all the guards, including Robin, unable to protect Bayor. This is the biggest dereliction of duty for the guards.

"Yesterday I was too negligent. Bayral sighed. "It's not your fault. You've found a problem, I haven't noticed. What happened after I escaped?"

Robin recounted the events of last night. This process was not at all expected by Bayor: the Assassins were only targeting Bayor, and had no interest in anyone else. Since all the people were unable to move because of the drugs, they didn't care at all. It was the Assassin who had been killed by Bayral who caught the eye - it was because a pedestrian, who had been out late at night, happened to pass by, saw the corpse, and immediately raised the alarm.

As mentioned earlier, some aristocrats actually have a rather late nightlife. Although there are no pedestrians on the streets, as long as someone sounds the alarm, it is not difficult to gather a group of people in the aristocratic district of Eagle Falcon City. Soon, officials arrived in a hurry and dragged a group of people who had fallen into a coma out of the house. Then everything fell into place - after discovering that Bayral had been attacked and missing, the forces of all parties were immediately mobilized urgently. After Robin regained consciousness, he stayed at the temporary palace, and then Beller suddenly appeared.

"General, what happened to you last night?" asked Robin rhetorically after saying everything he knew.

"Well, there was some accident. Bayrell said. "Luckily, I wasn't immediately fascinated, so I escaped in time. Then I met someone unexpectedly......" Béral said lightly. "Someone I was going to get to know in the first place. With her help, I came back safe and sound. He looked down, "Maybe it's not safe...... But anyway, it's worth the money!"

"Worth the money, General, your wounds ......"

"Oh, Robin, do you know how wise my decision was. Bayrell said thoughtfully. "I really admire myself. ”

"What decision?"

"I didn't get a wife for myself. Bayrell said. "If every woman were like that, I think all the men in the world would make the same decision as me. ”

"General?" Robin listened to the second monk and was puzzled. "Who did you meet?"

"Robin, remember our original plan, the one I told you last time?"

"Yes. "Robin won't forget that. "The best policy is in the marriage of the little queen, if we can legally obtain the royal power of Gruni, it will be the most beneficial outcome for our country...... But as you said, the odds are too low, and we can only try our best, but we can't hope for it. ”

"That's right. Bayral replied. "Actually, I don't think any prince or prince has the power to conquer that little girl. Even if you do make a marriage contract, I am afraid that you will not be able to seize the royal power. However, even if it is just a marriage contract, it is an extremely beneficial outcome for our country. At least in the next generation, the war between our two countries will have the nature of a 'civil war', and when the time comes, it will become our own people fighting our own people. He laughed self-deprecatingly. "At least the bloodline of His Majesty's majesty can be guaranteed...... Able to control two countries. ”

"The middle strategy is to take advantage of the opportunity of this coalition...... Drain the strength of Gruni and the Barbarians as much as possible. And then take advantage of the loopholes in our protocol to provoke war...... Take advantage of this favorable time to cede a suitable territory from Gruny......"

Béral sighed, leaned back, and lay down on his own bed, which he had been sitting on, "Man is not as good as heaven......" he lamented.

"What's the matter, General?" Robin was keenly aware that his General had already learned something.

"I'm afraid this battle is very troublesome. Bayrell said. "Most likely, it's the kind of war that doesn't leave any room for water...... Thank God if you don't lose, what do you want to say about consuming Gruni's strength and retaining his strength...... There is no way to use tricks like this. Because if you're not careful, you're afraid it will be a catastrophic fiasco!"

"Shogun, but...... It's just a ......" Robin actually wanted to say that this invasion was at least much easier to deal with than the previous one, but he didn't say anything about it.

"And we're afraid we're mistaken about that Aerufat," Beller continued. "I'm afraid I've miscalculated a lot of things. ”

"What, General, you mean, that Ashrufat......" Robin said with some hesitation. "It's not him?"

"No, the key lies with him. Bayral replied. "But I'm afraid I'm wrong about his motives. ”

"Didn't you say that he had ambitions to get his hands on the throne?"

"I'm afraid this speculation doesn't hold water. Bayrell said. "Like we used to speculate...... I'm afraid it doesn't work. And it's no wonder that the last time we saw Ashrufat, in Mill City, do you think that man seems to be obsessed with fame and fortune? I remember that I made a good offer...... A count's title and a city's domain. For a mercenary, it should be a worthwhile deal. No, it's a step to the top!"

Robin slowly recalled the detail. By the way, at that time, Ashrufat seemed to ...... I don't care about high-ranking officials.

There can be two explanations for this, one is that this person is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the other is that this person is extremely ambitious...... I thought it was the latter at first. Beller mused. "I'm worried...... I'm afraid this person is really out of date. Same with me. His last words were too soft for even Robin to hear.
