Chapter 202: Control of the Duke
Ten days later, Sawan led Alvin and Narros to Tertul, the royal capital of Hieronis.
After a few days of deliberation, the whole plan was finally settled, and Sawan took a small group of people to Tetur first, their goal was to control the Duke first, and then carry out a coup d'état in the name of the Duke. Therefore, whether Savin and the others can successfully control the earl will be the first step in the success or failure of the whole plan, if they can't even do this, the subsequent plan will not be implemented.
The Duke of Amberton's residence was in the inner city of Tetur, where all the princes and nobles lived, and the least poor were at least knights, and the common people were not qualified to live in the inner city. The group reached the gates of the Duke's Palace, a palatial mansion with tall walls and lush woods, interspersed with exquisite buildings that were second only to the royal palace in size.
Sawin asked the guards guarding the gate to see the duke, and the guards told everyone to wait at the door, and a messenger mounted his horse and ran deeper into the courtyard. As soon as everyone looked at this posture, this mansion was really amazingly big, and even the report required horseback riding, so it was conceivable that it must be luxurious and abnormal.
After waiting for a long time, the person in charge of the report finally came back and said to everyone, "Your Excellency Duke has invited distinguished guests. ”
The receptionist led the group to a sumptuous drawing-room, where it was evident that this was supposed to be the place where the Duke received his guests, not his residence, and it seemed that the Duke treated them as outsiders. Before the Duke arrived, Sawan glanced at Naros, who stood up in understanding, and took advantage of the lack of attention of the others, and rushed out of the living room into the woods.
After a while, the Duke of Amberton finally arrived, and Sawin was shocked when he looked up, and it was as if he had changed from a thin old man to a fat man with a big belly after not seeing him for a few months.
As soon as Duke Amberton saw Savan, he smiled enthusiastically: "Haha, I haven't seen you in a few months." ”
Sawan and the others hurriedly saluted, and then said, "Lord Duke has changed a lot, and he is more noble and rich than before. ”
The duke smiled and patted his belly, and said: "People, the most important thing is to enjoy life, I used to live too modestly, and after moving here, everyone advised me to learn to enjoy, so people have gained weight." ”
Sawin nodded with a smile and said, "The duke is right, and his complexion is much better than before, and it is really well maintained." ”
A few people sat down while greeting each other, and the Duke asked, "Have you come to Tetur for fun?"
Sawin shook his head and said, "No, we're here to do something." ”
"Oh, do you have a deal? Is there anyone who needs my help, anyway, I have some acquaintances. The Duke laughed.
Sawin looked at him and showed a shrewd gaze, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is difficult to change by nature, and when it comes to money, his eyes light up." ”
Sawan smiled and said, "Lord Duke, we do have an excellent deal here, I wonder if Lord Duke is interested?"
As soon as the Duke of Amberton heard that there was an opportunity to make a fortune, he immediately became interested, and he moved his fat body forward, and asked, "What kind of business and what do you need me to do?"
Savin looked left and right, and the duke immediately understood, and he waved his hand and said, "You all stand down, don't come near without my orders." ”
Many of the servants left the living room, leaving only Samhain, Alwin, and the Duke in the room. At this time, Sawin said: "Let my assistant take care of this transaction. ”
Alvin smiled and nodded to the duke, and said, "Lord Duke, this deal is like this, we plan to support you as the king of Hironis, do you think this is a great thing?"
"What?" the Duke of Amberton asked, still thinking he had misheard, "Say it again, what are you going to do?"
"Appoint you king. Alvin replied calmly.
"This ......" the Duke's eyes widened as large as brass bells, and the smile that had not had time to fade froze on his face.
Then the duke slapped the coffee table in front of him, his face swollen red, and roared angrily: "Presumptuous! you are looking for death! Come ......" He was about to say that someone was coming, but he found that his neck had been pinched by Savin, and he almost lost his breath.
"Don't worry, Lord Duke, wait until you've finished listening. Samin said coldly.
As soon as Sawin pressed his hand, he saw the duke's mouth open wide and his tongue sticking out, and his hands desperately grabbed Sawin's arm. Sawin stared into the duke's eyes and said, "Listen to us well, otherwise I'll have to be polite." ”
The Duke nodded with difficulty, Sawan let go of his hand when he saw this, and the Duke who had regained his freedom covered his neck and lay on the coffee table for a long time to breathe, and then gradually calmed down.
"You ...... You guys...... It's crazy......" said the duke, breathlessly.
"Lord Duke, this matter is only good for you, you can listen to our plan first. Alvin said.
The Duke of Amberton knew that he had no choice at all, so he could only silently tilt his head to the side as a sign of his small protest. Alwin ignored him and continued: "We plan to launch a coup d'état, and then support the Lord to ascend the throne, the Lord is originally the royal family, and you will be the king, and everyone will not have much backlash, and besides, we are here, I think the Lord will soon be able to sit on the throne." ”
"Childish, why are you staging a coup d'état, this is not a trick!" retorted the duke.
"The key to a coup d'état lies here, and as long as you are willing to cooperate, we guarantee that it will succeed. Alwyn continued, knowing that the Duke would not agree easily.
Seeing that the Duke was silent, Sawan knew that he had to give him some confidence or he would never waver, so he said: "Lord Duke may not know our true identity, in fact, we are members of the Magic Guild, and with the Magic Guild as the backing, what else do you have to worry about." ”
"What?Magic Guild?" This time the Duke was really surprised, he didn't expect that there would be a Magic Guild behind this, and he also thought that Sawan and the others were the people of the other lords.
Sawin nodded and said: "That's right, it's the Magic Guild, to tell you the truth, who is the biggest force on the continent now, naturally our Magic Guild, as long as we want, we can destroy any country at any time, the reason why we support the Duke to be the king is also because of our friendship, otherwise we will directly destroy Heronys." You don't doubt that we have the ability, do you?"
Listening to Savin's words, Duke Amberton's heart suddenly became a mess, what did the Magic Guild want to do? Why did it attack Hironis...... A series of questions kept popping up, and the Duke felt that his brain was completely insufficient, the matter was too big for him to make this decision alone.
Seeing that the Duke's eyes kept moving, Alwin knew that his firmness had begun to loosen, so he added fuel to the fire and said: "The Duke is actually one with us now, and our land was sold to us by the Duke, if this matter is known to the King, you also know what the consequences will be, right?"
When the duke heard it, didn't he, if these guys rebelled, he wouldn't be able to tell, but they rebelled on their own land, and no matter how much he defended himself, he couldn't clear the suspicion......
"I ...... I'm not selling...... I'll give the money back...... Give it back to you......" said the duke, horrified.
"Hehe, how can things be so simple, now as long as we want, the proof that the Duke has sold us the land will appear on the king's desk at any time, do you want to give it a try?"
"I ...... How can I be so unlucky!" the Duke of Amberton suddenly clung his head and cried.
Sawan stepped forward and patted the duke on the shoulder and said: "Why should you be so pessimistic, to tell the truth, your current king is really not very good, what kind of life are the common people? I think that the duke will probably do better than him, plus with the help of the magic guild, I am afraid you can still become the best king in the history of Herones!"
