Gift?Roland raised his eyebrows, what is it?
The Hoth family and the Lista family in the north... Your Majesty, the two counts refused to obey your rule, and tried to collude with the other nobles to rebel. My father saw through their tricks in advance and gave the two families the punishment they deserved.Cole regretted, but because of my negligence, I didn't expect you to return to the West in advance, and the head as evidence was broken on the road.
Wait, your father executed two counts directly?
Uh, he turned his head and looked at his assistant, yes.
This investment is more intense than I expected... Taking the two counts' heads as a letter of vote means that it will be difficult for them to get the support of the nobles in the East, at least the possibility of uniting to resist their territory is greatly reduced.
Roland thought to himself, but now Nightingale is not around, and he doesn't know if the other party is lying to him.
He pondered for a moment and whispered to Barov beside him, "Are these two families in the north?"
Matou Hoth and Double Gun Lista are both families in the northern border and are more famous than the five majors in the western border. Among them, Lista's ancestors wore armor to fight for the Wimbledon family. The double guns on the family emblem were taken from the flag of the Grey Castle Kingdom.Barov said slowly while touching his beard, of course, this was something that happened more than two hundred years ago.However, the Kant family is not famous. I remember it was a family that only appeared in the past fifty years... I didn't expect that Tiffy would actually choose Calvin Kant as the leader of the North. Even in order to restrain the other two families, if the strength is huge, it will be difficult to play its due role, and it will easily cause dissatisfaction among the old families.
So what he said is true?Roland automatically ignored the boss's later nagging that was used to show off his extensive knowledge.
Well...there is little chance of lying, Barov whispered, "This is related to the glory of the nobles. If you promise to accept their allegiance and it is proven to be a lie, the North itself will be in chaos first."
It makes sense to say this. He nodded slightly. And whether it is a lie is actually not a big problem. The key is that his bottom line is already there. If he can accept the abandonment of his fiefdom, everything can be discussed. If he insists on seizing authority, then no matter how valuable the gift is, it will be meaningless.
Thinking of this, Roland smiled at Cole. First of all, I have to express my gratitude to the Duke. Maintaining royal honors is the responsibility of every noble, and your father has done a good job.Secondly, the two counts deserved the crime, and the kingdom will not pursue Duke Kant's move.
Yes, is that?My father would be very happy to hear this, and Cole seemed to be relieved. He had always hoped to play for the real king, and now he finally had a chance.
Is it, I am also happy to accept the allegiance of the Duke of North...assuming that he can obey the new law of Graycastle.
New Law?He was slightly stunned, what was that?
Regarding the regulations on revoking the power of the nobles to divide the feudal power, Roland looked at the other party's expression and said word by word, "In the future, there will be no more virtuous nobles in the kingdom. You can simply understand that there is only one master in all the territories in the gray castle, that is, the king."
What?Your Majesty, this... Cole's expression changed drastically, and he turned his head to look at his assistant again.
Is this guy really the second son of the Duke?
Although she looks a little younger, she is not even inferior to Ah’s female official... At least the latter just opened her mouth a little, and she still looks calm. Of course, it may be that she cannot understand the meaning of her words at all.
Don't worry, the nobles are still nobles, and your generous life will not change, and there is a chance to reach a new peak. Roland clapped his hands and asked the servants to hand over the propaganda brochure that had been prepared long ago. Changge Fortress has fully implemented this set of laws. In the manual, you can see many stories of change and examples of nobles who are devoted to it. It seems that it will make the nobles lose some of their privileges, but in fact it also liberates the nobles from the fiefdom and devote themselves to the great stage of the kingdom and even the entire continent.
The other party looked confused, but... I don't know...
Cole's performance disappointed Roland a little, but it was normal to think about it. After all, he was still the second son who had just grown up. It is estimated that this trip was just the responsibility of passing the microphone and could not make a decision.
It's okay, you can send the news back to Duke Calvin. Before he answers, you can stay in Winter City and visit the unique scenery here. I think you will like it.
Although sending the second son means sincerity, Roland does not intend to waste this sincerity, so he will detain it for the time being as a guarantee to prevent the other party from taking risks.
He thought the talks had come to an end, but he didn't expect Cole to make another request.
Your Majesty, can I visit how paddle steamers and steam engines are made in your territory?
This is a novel request, Roland looked at him with great interest. Are you interested in this?
Yes, I heard about this strange ship in the capital. After coming to the Western Territory, I found that it was everywhere. I was very curious about how paddle steamers did not rely on sails.Cole stroked his chest.
So that's it, he smiled and nodded, I will let General Barov arrange it.
……
After dealing with the North Envoy's affairs, Roland returned to the office and was about to complete the design drawings in his hand. Suddenly, he heard a rapid knock sound from outside the window.
He turned around and saw two unexpected figures.
Lightning was lying on the window ridge, while Maisie squatted over her head and pecked at the glass.
Roland suddenly felt nervous. It was only the third day, and the paddlefisher shouldn't have come back so soon. Did something happen?
Why are you back first?He opened the floor-to-ceiling window and asked hurriedly, "Where are the others?"
His Majesty!We caught the devil!
But Anna, Ye Zi and Nightingale were all hurt!
Fortunately, there is no big problem!
But it still hurts!Can you ask Miss Nanava to go with us?
After hearing the two of them rushing to finish, Roland felt like his heart was riding a roller coaster. He let out a long sigh, "Is it really a big deal?"
No Gu!
I went and asked someone to pick up Nanava, and he turned around and walked out of the room. I remember to finish something in one breath next time!
……
By the evening of the next day, two paddle steamers finally appeared at the west end of the Chishui River.
In order to avoid panic among the masses when they see the devil, the left-behind troops of the First Army have cleared the No. 22 pier and prepared a greenhouse carriage.
A temporary wooden house was also set up in the back garden of the castle as a laboratory, and research on the devil and talismans will be carried out under the supervision of leaves.
Seeing Anna and Nightingale walking down the pier, Roland felt completely relieved. It took only four days from departure to return, but it seemed like I had not seen each other for several months.
Especially after hearing the news that the two were injured, time passed even slower.
Thank you for your hard work, he raised his lips and opened his arms to Anna.
The latter did not answer, but rushed into his arms and hugged him firmly.
Nightingale sighed, you said you were waiting for us in the castle... The pier is not safe, Your Majesty.
So are you, Roland smiled, thank you for your hard work.
Well... She turned her head uncomfortably, but it was actually okay.
Anna let go of Roland and pulled the nightingale over.
Then there are Wendy, Leaf...
All the witches hugged Roland this time, and Agsha and Ife were no exception.
Under the dark red sunset, everyone's figures were pulled long.
The Hoth family and the Lista family in the north... Your Majesty, the two counts refused to obey your rule, and tried to collude with the other nobles to rebel. My father saw through their tricks in advance and gave the two families the punishment they deserved.Cole regretted, but because of my negligence, I didn't expect you to return to the West in advance, and the head as evidence was broken on the road.
