Original Vampire

"Get up, Viscount Alston."

"It's... Lord Duke!"

Viscount Alston struggled to get up, but After kneeling in the snow for three days, his legs have completely lost consciousness, and he tried several times without success.

In the end, with the help of Count Evan, he finally stood up straight.

The Duke of Saint Prolos didn't show any sympathy or look of pity for this, he glanced at the two indifferently, and then walked into the castle first.

"Sit down."

"Many thanks, Lord Duke!"

Viscount Alston such as the amnesty, whose legs trembled and could not stand still, He sat down quickly, but in front of the Duke Saint Prolos, he still did not dare to lean on the back of the chair, and his butt was only half seated.

"My two hundred thousand army was ruined, I was going to kill you."

Viscount Alston was shaking at hearing this, but the Duke's next sentence still made him relaxed.

"But for the sake of the Alston family's hundreds of years of loyalty, I decided to spare you."

"Thank you, Lord Duke! Your kindness, the Alston family must remember !"

The Duke of Saint Prolos looked at Viscount Alston, who was almost weeping bitter tears, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he said patiently, "You go to Ice Rock City and tell Viscount Anglia, I Agree with his proposal to change prisoners and use Garcia for Vincent."

"Yes." Viscount Alston quickly responded, and then he saw that the Duke of Saint Prolos had no other orders, so he quickly got up and left.

Then the hall fell silent, and neither father and son spoke first, as if they were trying to be patient.

In the end, the Duke of Saint Prolos couldn’t see his son’s tired look, and rebuked, "What are you doing with me?"

Count Evan looked innocent. , Tan Shou said: "Father, didn't you tell me to follow me and ask me if you have something to ask?"

The Duke of Saint Prolos glared at him, he just wanted to hack to death. Unfilial son who doesn't understand respect and inferiority.

But after all, he forced himself to calm down, solemnly asked: "Do you think that with the current situation in the northern border, should we intervene?"

"We still have the strength to intervene Are you?" Count Evan asked unceremoniously, "The army of Pegasus Legion has been ruined by my good big brother. Are you going to dispatch the navy to the north?

Or you I hope to recruit the private soldiers of the lords in the east and let them fight the people in the north for us?"

"So you think we can only watch from the sidelines?"

"At least we don't have the strength to invade the North with a big fanfare. However, we can't say that we can't do anything."

The face of the Duke of Saint Prolos only slightly improved, and he asked: "How to do it?"

"The current situation in the Northern Territory is on the verge of breaking out. The Saint Theon family and the Saint Hild family will definitely fight to the death, but before they are exhausted, we can't easily end, otherwise we will fight with this Shadow Canyon. The same, it became a knife in the hands of others."

Hearing this, the Duke of Saint Prolos' brows jumped, apparently his son was poked in the pain, but he did not have an attack, but continued to listen. Go down.

"So, our best choice now is sitting atop a mountain to watch the tigers fight. At the same time, you need to pay attention to two key figures."

"Which two? "

"Marquis Dawson and Viscount Anglia!" Count Evan slowly uttered two names, and then explained, "Marquis Dawson wants to realize the dream of a dwarf nation, and has no allegiance to the Saint Theon family." , Who can help him realize this dream, he will fall to whom.

So, this is a force that can be attracted by us.

And Viscount Anglia, this person’s ability You must have seen it clearly through the first battle of Silver Moon City. Although he is currently Duke Saint Hild's power, I always feel that his loyalty is not firm, and he is also a person who may be attracted by us."

The Duke of Saint Prolos slowly nodded, agreeing with his son's words.

Count Evan continues to say: "In addition, the attitude of the Imperial Family is also very important. I think that with the hatred between the Saint Lorenzo family and the Saint Theon family, they might not be willing to see the North The realm falls into the hands of the Saint Theon family, and it is very likely that the Saint Hild family will end up in person when the Saint Hild family can’t hold it."

"If the Saint Lorenzo family sends troops to the north, the Saint Theon family can still What's the chance of winning?"

"Not necessarily." Count Evan shook the head, "There are many people who hope that the North Territory can change a master."

"You said' A lot of people' who are they referring to?"

Count Evan’s smile suddenly became a bit playful: "Aren’t you one of them?"

The Duke of Saint Prolos suddenly became quiet at this moment Down, even Count Evan's slightly scrutinized gaze couldn't make him angry.

However, the Duke of Saint Prolos did not respond to his son's retort if there was a point just now.

Since a long time, Count Evan suddenly yawned and smiled: "Father, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first."

Nodded, Duke of Saint Prolos, There is no more to say.

Looking at the back of this son slowly disappearing outside the hall, Duke Saint Prolos' eyes became a little struggling.

"Why, my heart moved?" A soft voice suddenly sounded, and the duchess, who had changed her clothes, appeared in the hall.

The Duke of Saint Prolos seems to understand what his wife is talking about, sighed, and shook his head: "Evan is indeed smart, but...to be the Lord of the East, you don’t just rely on being smart.

even more how..."

The Duchess stepped forward, gently kneading her husband’s shoulders, and said softly: "Are you worried about the lords of the East?"

"Yes. Vincent has been a Marquis of the East for so long, and I have been trained as the first heir. That many lords of the East have already placed bets on him. If I abolish him now ......"

"Those lords don’t necessarily have the guts, right?"

"hmph! Of course those who didn’t place heavy bets don’t matter.

But what about Count Hall? , He married his most precious daughter to Vincent.

There is also Count Brugen. You know how much money his Chamber of Commerce provides to Vincent.

And the Alston family, almost completely tied to Vincent, I don’t know whether to call them smart or call them stupid!

Once these families see me abolish Vincent, let them be for many years His investment has been in vain, you say, can they not resent me?

Especially when Pegasus Legion was hit hard, hehe, if you are not careful, it may be a mess!"

With a sigh, he leisurely said: "To be honest, I actually admire Duke Saint Hild, and I have the courage to attack my vassals. If I can do a great purge in the East, Vincent that Isn’t the position of the marquis of an idiot just abolished!"

The duchess was silent, and she opened the mouth and said again after a long time: "But you are so partial to Vincent, Evan’s grievances will only grow. Great."

The Duke of Saint Prolos snered: "Without the corresponding strength, what is the use of his grievances?"

The duchess' eyes flashed and suggested: "You Now it’s not too late to help Evan cultivate power."

The Duke of Saint Prolos pondered for a moment, but still shook his head:

"Wait and see."
