Mount and Blade

Just as the butler was forced to take action, Furda immediately broke free and knelt down in front of Edward.

Edward's eyes widened immediately. He didn't expect Furda to do this. He felt mixed emotions in his heart, and the scene also shocked the butler.

"Listen to my explanation. Nothing happened between me and Gurenberudo last night! We are innocent!"

Edward's lips trembled slightly. Although his respected mother explained to him so embarrassingly, she still couldn't completely dispel his doubts. He took a deep breath, as if carefully confirming something, and slowly said: "Are you serious?"

Furda raised her head, her eyes were more frank than usual, and she looked directly into Edward's eyes, "It's true, son. You know me. If I really did that kind of thing with Gurenberudo, I wouldn't be here to explain it to you now."

Edward: "..." His silence was deafening.

Housekeeper: "..." Well, he has seen Furda's style of doing things for many years.

After a long time, Edward spoke again: "Okay, I believe it, mother, you get up and talk first. The most urgent task now is to quickly meet up with Gulenberudo and others, the Grand Duke is going to take action against them! And we are no longer safe, we must immediately contact General Kirstin and Gulenberudo and others!"

Furda nodded with relief. After hearing the second half of Edward's words, the former head of the Halvorsen family, who had always been smart and managed the Halvorsen family to grow day by day, immediately understood their current situation.

For now, if they want to continue to stay in the Principality of Grant, they can only fully support Gulenberudo to seek opportunities for a coup!

Edward made two preparations, one was to send a confidant to deliver a letter to General Kirstin, and the other was to use a hawk to convey it to the agent operating in the non-freezing port.

There were also several empty envelopes with only the Halvorsen family seal, and secret envoys were sent out of the city to the direction of the Fire Dragon's Nest to confuse the public.

"What I'm going to do next is too dangerous. We are already on the opposite side of the Grand Duke. For your safety, I will secretly send someone to escort you to the sailing ship that will flee the Principality of Grant in case the coup fails."

Fulda shook her head firmly, "I won't leave. I want to face it with you. This is not only about the fate of our family, but also my own choice."

Edward looked at Fulda and sighed helplessly, "You will only become my handle if you stay here."

Fulda's eyes flashed with stubbornness, "I know I may drag you down, but I also have my value. I can use the family's connections to collect intelligence for you."

Edward pondered for a moment. He knew that once Fulda made up her mind, it would be difficult to change, "but I can't protect you."

"I don't need you to protect me all the time. I can handle many things myself. I have been managing the family for so many years. I am not a weak woman who lives a life of luxury." Fulda said with her chest puffed out.

Edward was still worried about Furda, whose eyes were red. He thought of the torture instruments in the Grand Duke's underground secret room and the tragic deaths of those girls, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Absolutely not, I can't leave you here alone! Don't force yourself. Even if the Grand Duke is unpopular, no one can protect you under the power."

Furda stepped forward and held Edward's hand tightly, "But don't forget that our family has been rooted in the Principality for a long time. Even if the Grand Duke is powerful, he has to be cautious. And if I stay, I can share more risks for you. If you really encounter danger, I will not let you escape alone."

Edward stared at Furda's determined eyes, and mixed emotions rose in his heart. On the one hand, he admired Furda's courage, and on the other hand, he was afraid of losing her.

Just when Edward was hesitant, Furda continued to speak: "It's okay. Before Gulenberudo completely collapsed, he dared not do anything to me, a divorced woman."

"After all, my current identity is the wife of the city lord bestowed by him personally. He is not stupid enough to take action against me, a chess piece, before the plan is fully realized."

Edward slowly relaxed his frown. He knew that Furda was right. "Okay, but you must be careful. Life safety is the most important at any time."

Furda smiled with relief, "Don't worry, I will be careful. I hired a lot of good people this morning and will strengthen patrols."

"Well, I'll go out first. Mother, you should start to win over those nobles who are ready to support Gulenberudo."

"Okay."

"If something difficult happens, Uncle Lu Wei remember to send me a message." Edward instructed one by one.

"No problem, master of the family." The old butler named Lu Wei nodded in response.

Edward hurried out of the house. He did not forget the appointment with Shicker this morning. In any case, he had to tell this to Gulenberudo and Shikel first.

For him, it would be best if Shikel was willing to elope with him and leave the Principality of Grant at this time and not interfere in this matter. But he knew that Shikel would definitely interfere in this matter concerning Gulenberudo's life.

Forget it, he couldn't think too much. At worst, if Gulenberudo failed, he would find a way to take them out by boat.

However, they all underestimated the madness of Grand Duke Hekun. Just when Furda thought she was temporarily safe, Hekun secretly sent out the shadow hand.

.........

Just when He Kun was slumped on the stool, the tears had dried up on that ugly face.

Madwu Xiu walked in coldly. He heard the conversation between father and son clearly. If he could not destroy this country and could not see He Kun go crazy and kill his only healthy son, he would Will be very disappointed.

Madwu Xiu stood in front of He Kun with no expression on his face.

...It gives me such pleasure to see you in such pain.

In the depths of Madwu Xiu's seemingly calm eyes, there was only sworn hatred, but under the dim light, He Kun was completely unaware of it.

He Kun smiled bitterly, "I thought everything was under control, but I didn't expect to end up in this situation."

That's your own fault! The drama of father and son scheming against each other also seemed like a good choice.

Madwu Xiu thought fiercely, but he still bowed down and saluted as usual and 'advised' the Grand Duke: "Grand Duke, we can't delay it any longer, the time agreed with Judah is coming soon!"

He Kun remained silent, just silently stunned.

Seeing this, Madwu Xiu was secretly anxious in his heart, but remained respectful on his face, "Grand Duke, if we miss this opportunity, all our previous efforts will be in vain. Juda will not give up."

He Kun slowly raised his head, his eyes full of exhaustion and unwillingness, "Now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? Even if you go to the appointment, you are just at the mercy of others."

"Don't be discouraged, Grand Duke, there may be a turning point." Madwuxiu squinted his eyes slightly, thinking quickly in his mind.

"A turning point? Huh." He Kun smiled to himself.

"...We can also force His Highness Edward to help you!" Madwu Xiu's eyes flashed with some evil intentions.

"Besides, if we let His Highness leave like this, our previous and subsequent plans will be exposed to Gulumberudo!"

"Those die-hard nobles of the Grand Duchy will never let you go!!"

When he thought about the faces of those die-hard nobles who wanted to frame him, He Kun immediately frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, stood up, and said, "You're right, we can't let Edward leave like this!"

"...Then, how do you coerce him?"

Seeing that the Grand Duke was being tricked, Madwu Xiu whispered his plan into his ear.

.........

Early this morning, Gurung Berudo left the capital Norudkahuati in a special carriage and went to the "Fire Suppression Palace". He was serving as Benedikut's escort.

Do you want to take her back to the "Fire Dragon's Lair"? Or should she stay in the "Fire Suppressing Palace"? Gulenberudo couldn't make up his mind, and he almost lost her.

If Schickel and Hanks hadn't been present, Gulenberudo couldn't imagine what would have been the unbearable consequences.
