Release that Witch

......

Horford Quin held a glass of wine and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study, staring at the city that was covered by the night.

It is the center of the morning sun and is also known as the capital of the night. The lights are centered on the Rising Sun Avenue and extend to the sides, such as the same leafy tree of light. The tree is the most famous hypermarket in the kingdom. Every day, countless rare things flow from all over the place. For businessmen, night is the beginning of their lives.

In order to maintain this brilliance, the candles, firewood and lamp oil consumed by the king every day are an astonishing number. The fish fat from the east seaport and the firewood from the northern hills are all transported into the city by ships. It is this industry alone, and conservative estimates have supported nearly 10,000 people and more than a hundred businessmen.

And this is just the corner of Wangdu’s commercial trade.

If it is normal, Hoover's great pleasure is to appreciate the night view of the Glow City. Under the joint control of the Moya royal family and the three families, the city has changed from a wasteland to a famous and prosperous place. The ancestors' constant efforts.

But today, he is inexplicably tired of it.

The night scene of Huiguang City looks like the same as the past, still beautiful and moving, but outside the range that Guangshu can't shine, the faint undercurrent can no longer be ignored.

Even in the face of such a brightly lit territory, he felt a strong unease.

Probably I am really old... Hoofd sipped a bit of wine, and the bitterness in the mouth seemed to be better than sweetness.

"Father," the study door was pushed open, and a young man came in. "The Baron Alfons of the North Wind City wants to meet you."

"I don't see," Hofford said without saying back. "I said I was ill."

"But..." He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand at the old butler.

The latter immediately nodded intently and turned and walked out of the study.

Seeing that there were only two of them in the house, the man was somewhat worried. "Father, this is already the twelfth aristocrat you rejected. Even if it is me, I know that the one in the palace has a problem. These foreign aristocrats The purpose of entering the city is already obvious. If you do this, I am afraid they will be mistaken for them..."

“Why is it wrong?”

"I mistakenly thought..." He bit his lip. "You are still standing on the side of Ampein Moya."

"Horn..." Earl Quin turned back and frowned and looked at the intended successor of the Quinn family. "Do you think that the three families of Glows are on the side of the Lord of the Morning, it is a mistake. Something!"

"But now it’s no longer necessary for us," Horne said with courage. "Since the army suffered a fiasco in Hermes, he never consulted you again! You are not a prime minister, you can’t even Stepping into the palace, even the outer city patrol was replaced by a mercenary. You look at the people who are called into the castle every day by the king. He only needs clowns, **** and songs now!"

The count did not answer, but looked at the glass of silence.

Horne is only 18 years old. Even he can see what it means behind the "greats of the localities come to the kingdom." Other local nobles cannot be unaware of any changes. In fact, when he learned that the army had lost the news, he expected the arrival of more than 10,000 troops on this day. Most of the town’s lords were involved, hoping to scrape a piece of meat from the fallen giant. . However, the end result is that not only did everyone not get the slightest property, but they lost their lives.

If this is the case, the key is that the Lord of the Morning is alive and returning, and his Knights are ruined. When Anpei wandered back to the kingdom, the news spread almost like a fly. This is equivalent to satisfying two conditions at the same time, and it is necessary for someone to be responsible for this failure and the promise that has not been fulfilled; and the power that Anpein has mastered can no longer dispel the thoughts of other nobles.

These aristocrats who quietly entered the city and visited the night are an obvious signal. They undoubtedly want to see the reaction of the three major families, and then decide whether to attach or unite. However, there is absolutely no answer that will maintain the status quo.

Horford could guess the thoughts of the group of people with his eyes closed. Since he lost so much in Hermes, he naturally had to find other places to make up.

"Father," seeing him not talking, Horne was anxious. "Now it was not ten years ago, and Anpein. Moya is no longer the one who is under Moya. Look at the Losey family! Now Otto Loh West is still in the palace! You are the prime minister, and there is a high prestige among the people. Just stand up and pull on the other two families, those nobles will be led by you!"

"Stand out?" Count Quinn's eyes narrowed, with a hint of danger in his tone.

"Oh..." Hornton paused, and he lowered his head in fear, as if he answered and as if he was defending himself. "You don't really have to stand on the side of Anpein, aren't you?" Otherwise, why do you call yourself sick and unable to see people. If it is the old king, you will personally persuade the nobles to focus on the stability of the kingdom."

Hofferd sighed and sighed. He was still too young. "Even if it is, do you think that Anpein Moya can't see this?"

"What?" Horne groaned.

"I bet, there are now a few pairs of eyes staring at us outside the house, including who I met, where I went, and Anpe must know it." The count returned to his desk and sat down. "You guess." If I met the nobles, what would he do to me? Don't forget, even if he lost the entire Knights, the control of the kingdom would not be weak. From the day of Ampein's enthronement, he began. I started to change the guards and the castle guards! Under the eyes of the other party, openly rebellious? Do you think that when he puts the noose around my neck, will the lords fight for me?" When he said indignation, he couldn’t help himself. I slammed the table. "Why is it today? It is always the foreign aristocrats who come to me, not the Loseys and Tokat families. You understand now!"

Horne took a breath and said, "Why don't you go back to the territory first? There are at least your knights and mercenaries, plus the serfs you recruited, even if he wants to be against you..."

The count shook his head. "Quin's family has been rooted here for too long. Branches, distant relatives, industry, power... Even if I can sneak out of the city, I can't take everyone out. As long as there is any wind and grass, they will not be good. In the end, I can't make such a rash move. In fact, I stayed in the Glow City, which is a guarantee in itself. I don't see the disease is the limit that I can express. Besides, there is nothing to do. ""

Closely connected with the king, this was once the place the family was proud of, but now it has become his deadly weakness, which has to be said to be an irony.

"Yes... but I don't think so." Just then, a strange voice sounded loudly outside the door.

Hofferd suddenly changed his face, and the speaker is obviously not a servant or a guard in the house. Otherwise, it is impossible to make such an offensive move, and the housekeeper should be kept outside the door. Why does this person have no response when it opens? ?

"Who!" Horn was equally shocked. He turned his back in a panic and wanted to find a self-defense weapon, but he could only take a candlestick.

"It's me," the door opened and appeared in front of Horford Quin. It was a strange and familiar blonde woman. "Do you remember me? Earl."
