The Amber Sword

The Duke of Goran-Elson suddenly raised his head and tried to locate the person who had spoken before, but the other side was hiding in the crowd, which gave him a hint of interest - he had been completely tired of these guys talking and complaining all these days.

Initially, he also expressed hope for the Royal Gazette that they could lift the newly risen Count to the ground just as they would overthrow the rule of Antioch. But soon he was disappointed. From the beginning to the end of the Second Black Rose War, these people argued, but could not come up with an idea, and instead the other mistress took a decisive decision and let Denel kill a man and roll.

Not as good as a woman.

The Duke of Goran-Elson snorted at these so-called old royal parties, but he was then worried that Tonigal's rise in power was in no way merely to the detriment of traditional royal forces, and that, in fact, as the supreme administrator of the kingdom in charge of the place - or even the general role of head of one party - the dukes of the kingdom felt a more direct threat.

And he's even more so.

The son of the Duke of Lantonilan, Eko, was a staunch supporter of the Elder Princess in the Battle of Ambessel, while Grand Duke Vieiro was a close relative of Her Royal Highness, and Carrassou was superior, let alone connected to the Cadilloso family. Today, of all the southern monarchs, Alex and Jean de Neil's reign are extinct, and the only remaining ‘adversary’ of Her Royal Highness seems to be left behind.

Moreover, the Duke of Goran-Elson did not agree with some of the practices of the Elder Princess, and the threat to the other side was constantly on his back.

He saw that these royal parties were unlikely to succeed and that they might represent the interests of some, but they seemed equally hesitant - fearful of the reactions of the highland knights, on the one hand, and of the rebellion of the northern nobles, on the other. The Duke of Goran-Elson knew very well that if the knife had not been placed around his neck, he would have been willing to serve as one of these wallgrasses.

“These people never understand the logic of cold lips.” The Duke thought with some disappointment.

He had no intention of attending this routine gathering of the old Royal Party forces - he knew that the Royal Party had now split into two, that the core members of Ovewell, Nimmasis had abandoned their former companions, and that Macaro had not been able to escape since Leewoods' death, and that the rest of those people, all of them, were unscrupulous.

But before today, he was invited here for special reasons, and given the mysterious men who have been in contact with him since these days, the Duke of Goran-Elson has a hidden speculation about the identity of the other side.

But he doesn't dare to confirm that he doesn't understand why 'those people' are interested in little Eluin?

That is why he sat here with patience, but after a long period of boredom and waiting, it seemed that he had finally found the shadows of those people in his previous statement.

He knew in his heart that the rat-sighted guys in front of him did not have the ability to grasp the focus this way.

Angry emotions were fermented in the crowd, and the Duke of Goran-Elson finally had a little spirit, and he stood up and focused on the reaction of everyone present.

“Never let her play tricks here!” Someone shouted and the Duke glanced in that direction, recognizing that it was nothing more than a low-status baron, with little territory, but behind him were certain traditional aristocratic forces in the Vieiro region.

“We must act!” Representatives of some of the old aristocratic forces in Antilles have shown similar repression and anxiety, and the aristocratic forces in these marginal areas have lived less than a day since the area was reallocated to the Crown.

Although they had been oppressed by the Duke of Antilles, their days were no better there.

These are all useless idiots here - the Duke of Goran-Elson shook his head slightly. Is that what they called him here to see?

Aristocrats are arguing and angry, but can't come up with an idea - Tonigal's power is obvious, and loyalty to Her Royal Highness is also a powerful force, including the White Lion Corps and the Royal Fleet, but instead they represent the most traditional aristocratic power in the South, but they can't put together any decent power.

At least in the earliest core and senior hands of the Royal Party, at least the army and the Knights of Rantoniland remain loyal to them. But when the Royal Party splits up, the original high level either leaves or turns to the Princess, and the rest of these people, in fact, are no more than surrender factions in the Royal Party. Ovewell and Makaro do not necessarily see these people, and they naturally cannot have any power in their hands.

As the Duke of Goran-Elson began to feel bored, a note was suddenly passed on to him by his servants. With a slight glimpse, the Duke placed the note under the table, opened it and swept it, and the face immediately became more serious.

He finally looked at the broken guys, shook his head, and turned back and made a gesture to his own people, leaving silently.

There were people present who noticed the Duke's movements, but not many people cared. It had been an accident that the Duke had been able to appear in this room for several days, and his early departure was something that had already been anticipated.

However, the Duke of Goran-Elson did not leave the venue through the back door, as usual, where he took a carriage back to his residence, but, under his own leadership, came to a more remote room in the venue.

When he pushed the door open, the Guest in the door had been waiting for him there for a long time.

The Duke of Goran-Elson suddenly stood, closing his eyes and looking at the three men who stood up to salute themselves.

……

Werner Ognarden Silva looked a little dull.

The owner of Vieiro, the chief executive of Wallendenburg, the grandfather of His Royal Highness Princess Eruin today, the Duke of Vieiro, has much to worry about, but what wearies him most is the confrontation between his most cherished daughter and himself.

He had no idea that Ornie would have liked an insignificant sergeant in a mission, even if the other side was the heart of Count Janilassou. Besides, in the kingdom, he did not necessarily see the 'captain of the royal family', and he did not necessarily want to marry his daughter himself, let alone one of his men.

His daughter, who has always been intelligent and strong and mature, was meant to maintain the relationship between the Vieiro family and the new Count Jean de Neil, the new royal minister. The Duke of Vieiro is a wise man who looks forward to the future of Brando, a kingdom political novel born of the Cavaliers of the Heights, who, on the contrary, came from a distinguished family, not only the eldest son of the Cadilloso family, but also the Highlands Cavaliers. Marriage to such a distinguished young man is what the Duke of Vieiro would like to see.

But things were moving beyond his expectations, and he hated that he hadn't made it clear to his daughter beforehand, and he thought O'Neill could understand that, because some things were too clear and too utilitarian. He understands that Count Tony Gehr is a wise man and will certainly see what he is trying to do.

This time, however, Euni's reaction was unexpectedly tough, and she was reluctant to give up that feeling and protested with a hunger strike. She told him that she admired the young Count, but that sentiment went beyond admiration and could never go any further.

More than once, the controversy between the father and daughter created a deep rift between the two, which forced him to complain a little bit about Brando. Until then, Ernie had not been like this, and she had always obeyed her father's arrangement. However, after her assignment, she became a person, an opinionated person and a lot stubborn.

From the bottom of his heart, the Duke of Vieiro believed that it was not his fault, that Brando must have broken his daughter.

Ornie's maid was routinely questioned, and after learning that her daughter had been on hunger strike for three days, the Duke of Vieiro was both heartbroken and a little tired, and he sighed deeply and felt that the world had begun to fall out of his control.

He was originally the supreme ruler of Vieiro, and no one dared to defy him, his grandchildren and granddaughters, more so the owner of the kingdom - but now he is increasingly feeling pressure from his granddaughters.

And the failure of the union compelled the Duke to face a much heavier fact - that the royal family was distancing itself from the old aristocratic forces, and that, while the princess still complimented his grandfather in her letter, he could clearly feel that the two were on a very different path.

One day these men will finally become a stumbling block to the royal family. Although the Duke of Vieiro does not know what centralization means, as a wise man, he has implicitly felt that the sword hanging high above his head is about to fall.

With this in mind, the Duke of Vieiro seemed to be ten years old for a moment, and he waved with some powerlessness: "Forget it, let her go. After all, she is my daughter. ”

“Lord Duke?” The maid opened her eyes, some incredibly looking at the ruler of the land.

“What?” the Duke of Vieiro growled. “Are you going to stop listening to me, too? Waiting to stay and watch my jokes? Get the fuck out of here! ”

The maids immediately retreated with horror and fear.

The Duke of Vieiro breathed heavily, as if he were an injured beast, holding his desk, his eyes red and his face changed for a while.
