Path of The Dragonborn

"It seems to make you wait for a long time?" Heliga didn't want to talk nonsense too much, and went directly to the topic. Earl Hertha has obviously not been doing very well these days. He was originally a very old body because of his long-term nervous breakdown. In the past few days, he was even weaker and weaker because of this fear.

"That...what..." Hearing Heliga's voice, Count Hertha suddenly stopped anxiously pacing, and turned his head. He was surprised when he saw Heliga, "You are not that Haidu of--"

"What? Did you always pay attention to me at the time?" Heliga smiled, and didn't pay attention to why Earl Hertha was able to remember his own things only by fate, "I think so, after all. Being boring, there are not many people who will specifically ask you to talk to you at the banquet, especially when everyone knows your character. Am I right...?"

"This...what the **** is going on..." Earl Hertha was clearly in a logical confusion-Heliga understood that he seemed to be only a teenager, and how did Earl Hertha visit Paradise? It was said that it was at least six years ago. If Heliga was an imperial nobleman, it would be absolutely impossible to understand these things at that age. All of this made Earl Hertha feel a little bit weird.

"Actually, I also investigated you a little bit. Although the results are not too clear so far, I seem to have guessed the specific situation." Heliga sighed slightly, ignoring the horror of Count Hertha. With his gaze, approaching his side, "The relationship between you and Paradise doesn't seem to be what I imagined. "

"...A...The Earl of Amancia told me that the place had been completely destroyed before...by another criminal organization..." The Earl Hertha lowered his head, not daring to look at Heliga, his voice was too It was inaudible, "So, so I thought there was nothing more..."

"So, why did he tell you that the place has been completely destroyed by the mysterious organization?" Hailijia asked slowly.

"Because..." When mentioning this incident, Count Hertha's originally distorted expression suddenly became more distorted, "Because...because that place was introduced to me by that guy!"

When he said this, Count Hertha's tone was the grit and grievance Heliga could easily appreciate. Although after telling the truth, his expression was dull, his hands trembled, and he seemed to be unable to believe what he had just done-but deep in his heart, Heliga could see that after he said all this, he was vaguely so A little relief and invigorating feeling.

"Tell me what happened at the time." Heliga continued to ask patiently. By now, Count Hertha's reaction did not exceed his expectations. Rather, this was originally one of the most likely inferences he made based on existing guesses.

The Earl of Amancia seems to be using this matter to control the Earl of Hertha-otherwise, with the same status as both earls, the Earl of Omansia treats the Earl of Hertha like a low-ranking noble who has just entered the stream. Although Amancia saved him face in front of others, in their solitude, he showed no mercy to Count Hertha-plus those notes from Hertha's home, proved that he was in the whole In Bariahart’s gemstone transaction, the part of the proceeds he received was far less than what he should have received, and the extra part was taken for granted by the Earl of Omansia. These facts have already proved that the Earl of Omansia is very For Count Hertha, there is something in it, or something that makes him feel terrified.

"..." For a moment, Earl Hertha seemed to suffer an indescribable great pain. His lips squirmed repeatedly, and there were still big beads of sweat on his forehead in the bleak and cold wind of late autumn. His face was pale, and he felt like he could die almost at any time.

However, when he spoke, what he said was calm and unexpectedly unexpected.

"The matter... has to start six years ago."

——————————————————————

Among the nobles of the empire, two of the values ​​that have always been advertised are very important-that is elegance and tradition. The former naturally refers to the various and complicated noble court rituals, while the latter refers to the inheritance of an aristocratic family and how many outstanding characters have been born in the process of inheritance are worthy of repeated mention by future generations.

At this level, the Count of Amancia and the House of the Count of Hertha are completely representative of the two extremes. The family of the Counts of Amancia has a long history, and can even be compared with the ruler of Kruchin State, the Duke of El Barrea. However, since about two hundred years ago, the Amancia family began to fall into a painful struggle: the once powerful family that made the El Barrea family a headache is gone, and generations of masters are unable to resist. This kind of decadence that the entire family began to decline, eventually, the Amancia family became a lonely boat under the wind and rain. If the father of the contemporary Earl of Amancia had not appeared in time to turn the tide, I am afraid this ancient name would have long been withdrawn. Among the ranks of the nobles in Kruchen Region.

In contrast, Earl Hertha does not have such a brilliant family background to show off. He has only passed on for six generations. The opportunity to become a nobleman in his family was in the famous "Battle of the Lions". His ancestors were fortunate enough to make outstanding achievements on the battlefield and survived until the end of the war. Afterwards, he was exceptionally promoted from a commoner to the lowest rank in the noble system-a knight, and through this relationship with the wife of the earl’s daughter, he became a baron. Later, after several generations of Hertha Barons and Viscounts' painstaking efforts, their family finally became one of the representatives of the emerging power aristocracy in Kruchen State. In the end, when the wheel of destiny points to the current Earl of Hertha, who has entered the Hertha family of high-ranking nobles, he should have enjoyed this moment of success.

However, this otherwise beautiful life was ruined by a bewitching proposal from Amancia that night.

Regardless of the era, the resources of Kruchen Region are limited. When such a huge branch of the Amancia family withdraws from the stage of history, its vacancy will naturally be filled by a new generation of forces like the Earl of Hertha. Although people will always remember the victor as the wheel of history passes by, there is no lack of malice from the unwilling in the dark corners. And the current Earl Hertha-apparently swallowed by such malice.
