Lord Harland

Just after the birthday of the goddess, Baron Harden sent an invitation.

"Dear Viscount Richard Harland, tomorrow is my daughter Monica's engagement dinner. I sincerely invite you to attend, your friend Harden."

Sophia took the invitation and asked Richard, "Do we need to go?"

"No, I need to focus on a magic problem these days, and I don't have any free time. Besides, we don't have close contact with Baron Harden. If we attend these noble banquets every time, it will be a waste of too much time. ?”

Richard decisively refused. He was somewhat introverted and did not like to participate in such aristocratic entertainment.

When attending aristocratic banquets, one always has to speak nonsense words with various old men, and one needs to be very nervous mentally to analyze the meaning contained in the aristocratic words.

Every time he attended a meeting of nobles, Richard felt like he was in a war, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

Sophia's personality is more similar to that of a scientist. She doesn't even like taking care of children, and she doesn't like attending various aristocratic banquets. She thinks it is a waste of time.

Only William and Mrs. Olla in the Harland family are party animals. They are keen to participate in various banquets and hang out with many strangers.

They were strangers in the first place, but they seemed to be very familiar.

"Then I will write a letter to refuse. Baron Harden is an important nobleman in Gascoigne Province. I will write a little more tactfully."

Time passed by and Baron Harden's engagement party was held as scheduled.

In the baron's castle, the nobles wore gorgeous dresses, enjoyed fine wine and food, watched singing and dancing, and chatted about some news in the northern region.

Three older nobles are hiding in the study. They must have a very close relationship and exchange some secret information.

One of them is Baron Harden, the other is Charlemagne, the commander of the Wild Lion Army, and the last one is Viscount Anthony, a very important nobleman in Gascoigne Province.

"I heard that Prince Chris married Duke Jonathan's third daughter?"

"Duke Jonathan's third daughter seems to be a fool, right?"

"Duke Jonathan's third daughter does have a low IQ, which is said to be related to incest marriage. However, it is rumored that the Duke's daughter's bloodline is very pure, and there is no shortage of suitors in Duke Jonathan's family."

Duke Jonathan's family has always had a tradition of consanguineous marriage.

In the Dawn Plane, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, it is common for princes and nobles to marry close relatives. Even if they pay a high price, in order to maintain the strength of their bloodline, nobles will still choose to marry close relatives, just to give birth to bloodline talents. High genius.

Although the base of geniuses is small, most of them are deformed children, fools and other unlucky people.

In fact, on the highly civilized Earth, in a country called America, marriages between close relatives are very common among the upper class of society.

The reason for this is simple: to avoid the loss of wealth. America has the richest consortium in the world, and most of these consortiums are composed of several families closely united together.

In these huge families, everyone holds some power and interests. Once an out-marriage occurs, after the death of a female member, the power and interests she holds will be passed on to the next generation in accordance with the provisions of the law, and the next generation's bloodline and surname will be passed on to the next generation. Obviously it is not on his side. The power and interests in the family are controlled by outsiders, which is a disaster for such a huge family.

Therefore, whether it is to avoid the loss of power and interests, or whether male members want to enhance their voice and status in the family, they will take the initiative to take the responsibility of throwing their relatives into bed and killing them.

Not only for money, but in this world, close relatives marry not only for money, but also for blood, strength, rights, etc.

Because of this, moral standards will change.

Civilians have long recognized the dangers of marriage between close relatives and consider it incest and a despised behavior. In the Church of the Seven Gods, the Goddess of Dawn and the God of Truth prohibit believers from marrying close relatives.

On the contrary, the nobles believed that incest marriage was a behavior that could only be performed by those with noble blood, and despised the shallow and stupid understanding of common people.

The Church of the God of Kingship and Order does not prohibit believers from marrying close relatives.

"Prince Chris is going to compete for the throne. If the queen is not intelligent enough to be on the stage, how can she attend public events? Aren't she afraid of becoming a laughing stock?"

"King Charles now supports Prince Felix, and the Grant family has not yet united in opinion. Although Prince Chris is supported by Duke Duran and Duke Roger, if the Grant family unites in supporting Prince Felix, Prince Chris may not have a chance of winning. ?

But it's different with the support of Duke Jonathan. With Duke Jonathan's influence, the Grant family will definitely consider Duke Jonathan's opinion. "

Baron Harden listened to the analysis of the two old friends and asked thoughtfully: "How many years can this old guy Brener last?"

"I could have lived for more than ten years, but through our hands, we dedicated a piece of water of life to the Grant royal family. This water of life was added with the divine power of the God of Glory. If the legend in the prime of life is refined, it can increase longevity. In twenty years, there will still be some special miraculous effects, but for an old and frail legendary refiner like Brenner, it will probably increase the burden on the body. The old man's health will probably only deteriorate in these few days."

“It has been six hundred years since the Grant family betrayed their master and stole the power of the Kingdom of Venus.

For six hundred years, our ancestors have been fighting continuously, hoping to regain the power of their motherland. They have seen the light of day several times, but every time a genius appears in the Grant family. More than a hundred years ago, it was Brener, the old man, who defeated It saved our ancestors and allowed the Grant royal family to continue its national destiny for more than a hundred years. "

"Now the Grant royal family's good luck is over, Brenner is about to die, and today's Kingdom of Charles is not a king with great talent and strategy. It's up to our generation to restore the glory of our ancestors."

After hearing the secret of Brener's impending death, Baron Harden's face suddenly glowed red. He nodded excitedly and said, "What will the family do after Breonna's death?"

"We will assassinate King Charles and provoke a civil war in the Grant family. When the Grant royal family declines, we will contact the loyal ministers of the Venus family and completely liquidate the Grant family, a traitorous family with dirty blood."

If Richard heard these secret conversations, he would be surprised. It turns out that Baron Harden, Viscount Anthony, and Charlemagne, the leader of the Wild Lion Army, are all members of the Venus family.

These three people are all heavyweights in the Gascoigne Province. If the three of them join forces to start a rebellion, they can turn the Gascoigne Province upside down.

"Among the young talents in Northern Xinjiang, are there any candidates worth wooing?"

"The most capable one is Richard of the Haaland family. This family is an emerging force in Geda Province and already has three thousand soldiers. Although Richard is young, he has shown good battlefield intuition and has the demeanor of a famous general. I The person I want to win over the most is him, but this person is not easy to get along with. I also invited him to this banquet, but he did not agree to my invitation. "

"If you can win over such young talents, win over them. If you can't win over them, then eliminate any future troubles."

"When we start an uprising, will the seven earls in the south cooperate with us? After more than six hundred years, how much loyalty do they have to the Venus family left?"

"Don't worry about this issue. Our people have control over the Cloverford family and the Meslin family."

"Did we get rid of Earl Crawford?" After hearing this, Baron Harden asked doubtfully.

Charlemagne nodded and said: "Count Cloverford had no intention of cooperating with us, and even sold the person we sent to contact the royal capital. The family magician personally took action, seducing Earl Cloverford and letting him come. The Eagle Mountain Range has easily eliminated this trouble."
