Blood Dragon

Section 250 III Requirements

"If it's a wife, of course it's a different story. But do you think the fiancée...can form any effective obstacles?"

Robin fell silent immediately.There is an essential difference between a fiancée and a wife—at least for the former, the identities and properties of both men and women are calculated separately.After all, the marriage contract is just a "contract", and it is not too much for a man to break the marriage contract. Apart from the woman's family, he will not receive any special accusations.It can be said that in this world, countless engagements are voided every day, and people who have nothing to do with them are generally more tolerant of such things.

"My lord, where did you get the news from?"

"A place I think is infallible," answered Bellel. "Robin, I think I've now outlined the trajectory of the whole thing."

"My lord, can you tell me in detail?"

"Byron staged a coup, so the little queen, like all girls, asked her lover for help, and he stepped in to help. To be honest, a dozen letters from the Elf King appeared in the man's hand It is not unusual here, because there are rumors that the magic messengers in the Stygia region... are those female prophets who maintain some kind of contact with the elves. Some people even say that they learned their magic from the elves, so There is a big difference between them and the magicians of the church. From this perspective, as the general of St. Jean, it is normal for Thomas to meet the Elf King for some reason."

"That's it..."

"Those licenses... may not have any meaning to the Elf King, just a very random thing. However, Thomas or Ashurfate can judge that this thing is extremely valuable. So it happened like this, Thomas died Now, I will leave a part of my inheritance—maybe the last valuable inheritance—to Ashurfate. So our Earl Ashurfate has the priceless stack of papers in his hand, and then in his When the lover faced danger, he made the right choice. Maybe they made that choice together—to escape from Falcon City and seize the command of the Guards. It was a complete gamble, but they It worked. Byron had no choice but to abandon the city. I would like to say that it was not a stupid decision for Byron. Because everyone knows that the royal family owes a huge debt. A court composed of queens cannot last. Maybe Byron has such an idea, so he waited patiently in his lair for his opponent to fall automatically, and then arrived at Falcon City as a king to clean up the mess."

"Of course, Byron didn't think so much at that time... No one would have thought that such a thing existed, and I was no exception. So, things became a pity, because of the small books written by the Elf King himself. Pieces of paper, Byron's plan is completely a one-sided fantasy. Our Earl Ashurfate easily raised a huge amount of money by relying on these small pieces of paper, and solved all the troubles. And because Byron Because of the procrastination policy, he can calmly build a brand-new palace with peace of mind. It is difficult to build a new palace from poor to poor, but Falcon City has a lot of suitable candidates. Ashrufat has money in his hand, and the little queen has great righteousness With the combination of these three, it becomes a matter of course to accomplish this.”

"Then, after making enough preparations, the little queen chose to send troops to suppress the rebellion. As I said, Byron is not a fighter at all. His military level is not even 'mediocre'. He is really a hopeless waste material. However, our Earl Ashurfate is Thomas' younger brother. His level... I have seen it with my own eyes when I was in Mill City. He has undoubtedly devoted himself to A chaotic battle, accumulated a lot of experience. There is no suspense in this battle."

"My lord, I remember the information at the time...that little girl was in charge of the army herself."

"That's right. Under normal circumstances, an army can only have one commander. When the king and the general are in the army at the same time, one of them will inevitably be emptied. Anyone can easily see who is in power and who is giving orders. But if the two are lovers, the situation is not so simple, a little bit of deception can deceive outsiders, isn't it?"

"That's right." Now, Robin has also sorted out his thoughts. "In other words, the massacre in Fonoros City was not ordered by the little girl, but by Aishuruffat."

"That's right, so our previous guess was wrong. In this matter, Ash Ruft is definitely not an 'abandoned pawn', and our Earl Ash Rufat is very relieved, he knows that his little lover is absolutely I won’t do anything to him. Hey, love is so interesting, it can build absolute trust between two people. 'Two people are of the same heart, and their benefits can break gold' probably refers to this kind of situation."

"Then, my lord general, I would like to ask, what exactly is Ashulfat's goal? If he wants to be king, what he did is not appropriate. He should... take every opportunity to expand himself He should use the queen as a banner instead of passing all the credit to the little queen."

"Ha, so here comes the interesting conclusion. Maybe it's not what we thought it would be at all, and maybe Ashurfat didn't even think about being king...in fact, maybe he didn't have any other ideas at all. Ambition. He just wants to make his little lover happy. This is love, which cannot be explained by reason and logic."

When speaking this last paragraph, Baylor's emotions were quite emotional.

"Master General, I still don't understand what you mean. Since we now know that the little queen is not as troublesome as you originally expected, wouldn't it be more helpful to our plan?"

Belle was a little afraid of the little queen before.This is not to say how extraordinary the little queen's abilities are, the key lies in her age.As we all know, as she grows, she accumulates more experience and learns more knowledge, which not only means that she still has great potential to develop, but also means that she can be patient even if she suffers a loss. Wait for Belleur's generation to die of old age before taking revenge.

But on the other hand, with such a big advantage, even if Baylor doesn't make a move, who knows what will happen in the future?Maybe after a few years, when the country stabilizes, that little girl will covet the outside world.

Baylor must either not do it, but if he does, he must be ruthless and steady, and he must gain a huge strategic advantage.

"No, this situation is the opposite of yours. This means that according to our original plan, then what we have to face is not the little queen, but Ashuruffat. That person... That little girl is hard to deal with!"

In this regard, Robin is very unconvinced.He always thought that his general was number one in the world. Of course Thomas himself said otherwise, but how could Thomas' younger brother compare with the general?

"Ashrufat is the direct younger brother of Thomas, who is proficient in the art of war and is the champion of the three armies. If there is a real battle on the battlefield, I have no absolute chance of winning. And he and the little girl... there is no way to separate. And, since That little girl is not as difficult to deal with as expected, if she is not the kind of peerless hero that appears in the story, then why should I take risks now?"

Robin vaguely felt that Baylor had another reason, but in the end he didn't speak, but changed the subject.

"By the way, General, I want to ask," Robin said. "I found that the clothes you changed... smelled of women's perfume!"

In this era, almost all aristocratic men have a certain ability to identify perfumes, so Robin is very sure of this.

"Ah, the scent of a woman's perfume?" Belle's expression was surprised, but Robin believed it was because his general was really good at disguising.

"Also, there is a woman's lipstick mark on your shirt!"

"Ah, I was really too careless." Baylor replied calmly.

"Last night, General, who did you go to see?"

"Robin, if you say..." Belle groaned for a while, "I went to see my fiancée, do you believe it or not?"

"This is Falcon City!" Robin deliberately emphasized.This lie is too easy to expose. It has been many years since Belle was here last time. How could there be a fiancée?Besides, even if Belle had a fiancée (of course, Robin was sure that there was no such woman around Belle), it was impossible for her to come here to have a private meeting with Belle. "It is impossible for you to have a fiancée here! General, you forgot, I have been by your side all these years!"

"Indeed." Baylor replied with an innocent expression. "I didn't have a fiancée until dark yesterday! But now I have."

……

A luxurious four-wheeled carriage stopped at the entrance of a small villa in the aristocratic area of ​​Falcon City.

Countess Marianne jumped from the carriage.Although her hair was already gray, she was still very agile, and she didn't need anyone's help to get on and off the carriage.

Anyone could see that the old lady had something important to do, because instead of walking, she lifted her skirt with her hands and rushed towards the door of the villa.After pulling the doorbell, the door was quickly opened.Countess Marian walked in, and the door was quickly closed.

"Is he still there?" The old woman didn't waste any time and directly asked the star who opened the door.

"In the living room." Xing Ke replied.

Countess Marianne didn't stop for a second, and hurried to the living room.Just now, she suddenly got this urgent news outside - a guest who is very important to her has visited.She came back as soon as possible, but fortunately, everything was still in time.The street was fairly spacious today, and her carriage was back in time.Now she already felt the disadvantages of her four-wheeled luxury carriage - in case the street was crowded, the carriage would become a slow snail.

"My lord Skadra!" cried Countess Marianne.The guest stood up and looked directly at her.

"Countess Marianne." The head of the court, Skadra, nodded.

As mentioned earlier, both of these people are members of the Griffin family.But everyone knows that the Griffin family is a very large family with hundreds of members, and the blood relationship between the two people is actually far apart, so they appear to be relatives, but they are actually friends.In terms of age, Countess Marianne is older, but when the two met, they didn't call each other siblings.

The two were divided into guests and hosts. "Skadra, why do you suddenly want to visit me?" Countess Marianne opened the topic first.Not long ago, she went to Skadra because she wanted to inquire about the news inside the palace, but the latter shied away with an excuse.

"Actually, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Skadella was also frank. "I do have something to come."

"Oh, I don't know what kind of important thing it is?"

"I hope that the two nieces... can break off their engagement with Earl Ashuruffat."
