Section 220 VI Similar

Belair met Robin and Aileen in the temporary palace—that is, the residence of the former Chancellor of the Regent.To be more specific, he first met Robin (coincidentally, Robin was waiting for news from Belel here), and then met Prime Minister Aileen with Robin's support.

Even for an old guy like Aileen, when he saw Belle appeared in front of him intact, he clearly showed a "great sigh of relief" expression.

"General Belle, it's great that you're fine..." Alyn immediately noticed that Belle was a bit unusual at this moment—because at this moment Belle clamped his legs, and his whole body's movements seemed unnatural. "What's the matter with you? Are you hurt? What happened last night?"

"A group of followers of evil gods actually launched an assassination," Belleur admitted this fact generously.When he said this, he seemed to trigger a certain wound, and the muscles on his face twitched because of the pain. "I managed to fight my way out. Fortunately, I was taken in by a 'good-hearted man', and I'm only coming back now."

When he uttered the word "good-hearted person", Baylor not only added an extra emphasis on his tone, but also mixed with a self-deprecating taste in his voice.

"Are you injured?" Alyn didn't notice the subtlety of Baylor's words.However, he was very happy to find that there was not much dissatisfaction in Baylor's words-this was much better than he expected.

"During this escape, I was injured for some reason..." While speaking, Belle's face twitched again. "But it's better than losing your life."

What followed was a routine conversation.In short, the next step is settled.Due to his injury, Baylor will recuperate in Falcon City for seven or eight days before starting the negotiation.Of course, on the other hand, Eileen also assured Bellel that Falcon City would "completely and permanently solve this hidden cancer".

So many things happened that day, Belleel returned to his previous residence at dusk.Robin supported Belleur all the way back, so he naturally found out where Belleel was injured.Of course, Robin is not a fool, he only asked this question when no one was around when he went back to his residence.

"My lord, what happened last night?"

"Isn't that enough that I came back alive?" Bellel replied.

"Where have you been during this time? You know, we are all in a hurry, if something happens to you, what can we do..."

"Hey." Belleil gave a rare sigh, but did not answer.At this time, guards outside reported that the doctor sent by Prime Minister Aileen had arrived.

It must be said that Alyn's movements were indeed fast enough, when Belleil came back with his front foot, the doctor he sent arrived with his back foot.This doctor is about 60 years old, and he looks like a famous doctor at a glance.Robin walked out of the room, leaving the doctor and Bellel alone, while he was outside the room.

This room is not of the sound-proof type. Even if Robin didn't eavesdrop on the door deliberately, the sound still leaked through the crack of the door and reached his ears.

"Ah... Lord Belel, judging from the injury, I have to say that this is not an accident, it should be a deliberate injury... I have to say, fortunately, this blow is not strong enough, otherwise..."

"My lord general... the situation is not bad... your injury is not serious, and you can recover in five or six days after applying the medicine... but these days, you'd better not touch women..."

"Medicine? You don't need to change the medicine. Your injury is not too serious. Besides, you gave you a little bloodletting treatment. By the way, by the way, in order to keep the wound clean during this period, you need to take a bath, and be careful shower..."

After a long time, the doctor left and went out, and entered Belleer's room again.

"Robin, how's it going out there? I mean security."

"My lord general, they sent a whole team of soldiers for you. I believe that what happened last night will never happen again. My lord general, I'm sorry." Robin said a little frustrated. "Yesterday we actually...were useless at all."

Yesterday's assassin used some kind of drug, which had a strong hypnotic effect, making all the guards including Robin unable to protect Belel.This is the biggest dereliction of duty for the guards.

"I was too negligent yesterday." Baylor sighed. "It's not your fault. You have already discovered the problem, but I didn't notice it. What happened after I escaped?"

Robin recounted what happened last night.This process was not at all unexpected by Belel: the target of the assassins was only Belel, and they had no interest in anyone else.Since all the people are unable to move because of the drug, they don't care at all.It was the assassin who was killed by Belleel that attracted attention - this was because a pedestrian who was going out late at night accidentally passed by here, saw the corpse and immediately raised the alarm.

As I said before, the night life of some nobles is actually quite late.Although there were no pedestrians on the street, as long as someone raised the alarm, it would not take much trouble to gather a group of people in the noble area of ​​Falcon City.Soon, officials rushed in and dragged a group of comatose people out of the house.Then everything became logical-after discovering that Belle was missing in an attack, the forces of all parties immediately mobilized urgently.After Robin regained consciousness, he stayed at the side of the temporary palace, and then Belle suddenly appeared.

"Master General, what happened to you last night?" Robin asked back after telling everything he knew.

"Well, there were some accidents," Baylor said. "Fortunately, I wasn't fascinated by the first time, so I escaped in time. Then I met someone unexpectedly..." Baylor said lightly. "A person I was going to get to know. With her help, I came back safe and sound." He looked down, "Maybe it's not safe... But anyway, things are there. value!"

"Worth the money? General, your injury..."

"Oh, Robin, you know, I only now know how wise my decision is." Baylor said thoughtfully. "It really makes me admire myself."

"What decision?"

"Didn't get a wife for myself," Belleer said. "If every woman was like that, I think men all over the world would make the same decision as me."

"Master General?" Robin heard that Monk Zhang Er was puzzled. "Who did you meet?"

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

"Remember." For this, Robin will not forget. "The best solution is to marry the little queen. If we can legally obtain the royal power of Gruni, that would be the most beneficial outcome for our country... But you also said that this possibility is too low, we can only do our best Go for it, but don't get your hopes up."

"That's right." Belle replied. "Actually, I don't think any of our princes or princes have the ability to conquer that little girl. Even if we really conclude a marriage contract, I'm afraid we won't be able to win the royal power. But even if it is just a marriage contract, it is an extremely beneficial thing for our country As a result, 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 be our own people fighting against our own people." He laughed self-deprecatingly. "At least it can guarantee that His Majesty's blood...can control two countries."

"The best strategy is to take advantage of this opportunity of the coalition... to consume the power of Gruene and the barbarians as much as possible. Then use the loopholes in our agreement to provoke a war... Take advantage of this favorable time to cede a suitable piece of territory from Gruene... "

Belleil sighed, leaned back, and lay down on his own bed (he had been sitting on his bed before), "It's better to be a man..." he sighed.

"What's the matter, my lord general?" Robin was keenly aware that his lord general already knew something.

"I'm afraid this battle will be very troublesome," Baylor said. "It is likely to be the kind of war where there is no room for water... Thank God if you don't lose. If you want to say something to consume Gruny's strength and keep your own strength... There is no way to use such tricks. Because if you are not careful, it will be a one-time battle." A catastrophic fiasco!"

"My lord general, but... this is just a..." Robin actually wanted to say that this invasion was at least much easier to deal with than the last one, but he didn't say it in the end.

"And I'm afraid we've misread that Ashurfat," Belleur went on. "I'm afraid I've miscalculated a lot."

"What? My lord general, you mean that Ashurfate..." Robin said hesitantly. "The key to the matter is not him?"

"No, the crux of the matter lies with him." Baylor replied. "But I'm afraid I have miscalculated his motives."

"Didn't you say that he has ambitions to take the throne?"

"I'm afraid this speculation is not valid." Baylor said. "Everything we speculated in the past... I'm afraid it's not true. It's no wonder. Do you remember the last time we saw Ashrufat? The time in Mill City? Do you think that man seems to be obsessed with fame and fortune? ? At that time, I remember that I proposed a good condition...a title of earl and the territory of a city. For a mercenary, that should be a very worthwhile deal. No, this can be said to be a step up to the sky!"

Robin slowly recalled this detail.By the way, at that time, Ashulfat seemed...not to care about the high-ranking official Xianlu.

"There are two explanations for this. One is that this person is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the other is that this person has great ambitions... I thought it was the latter at first." Belleil mused. "I'm worried... this person is really out of date. Just like me." His last words were so soft that even Robin couldn't hear them.
