Chapter 1507: Sal, Jiawu
Thinking of these troubles, the Duke of Windsor couldn't help but think, if he threw himself to the eldest prince Jiawen, then the eldest prince would definitely successfully seize the throne (this is completely the Duke of Windsor's self-righteous thoughts, he overestimated his importance dozens of times), but now he has a cold relationship with the eldest prince, and there is no interest in voting there. The second prince Jiawu is different, he can give himself enough power, but the second prince's mother's bloodline as a palace maid determines that there are definitely not many nobles who support him, and it will be difficult for him to obtain the throne.
In the past few months, news has come from the palace, His Majesty's physical condition has become a problem, and most of the military and political affairs of the kingdom are managed by the eldest prince Jiawen and the second prince Jiawu. Florin, the king of the kingdom of Demacia, is a king who cherishes his rights very much, he is not the first heir to the throne, and he has exhausted all his tactics to fight for the throne, which is why he will not let go of his power even if he is seriously ill now. When the kingdom is in danger, he still hopes that his health will be better, and then continue to use his king's power, instead of quickly deciding his heir and making the prince greater.
The reason why the second prince Jiawu has been able to confront the eldest prince Jiawen over the years is often because of the secret support of King Florin. No matter what world you are in, the way of balance is the art of the emperor's mind. With such a master, the Duke of Windsor's heart must not be at peace. He has been tormented in his heart for the past few months, on the one hand, his own interests, on the other hand, the interests of the kingdom, which of the two is more important and which is more important, he naturally knows, but it is clear, can he give up his own interests? The interests of the kingdom are not his interests! Only his own interests are what he can truly enjoy.
"Lord Duke, now is the critical time, Noxus is ready to move, we have received definite news, a large amount of grain in the Noxus treasury has suddenly disappeared, I am afraid that the army will soon make a move." Said one of Laurent's subordinates.
The Duke of Windsor frowned and was not angry: "What happened to Piltover and Zaun?" ”
"There is no major movement in the armies of Piltover and Zaun, but according to the news from the ambassadors to the two countries, several generals in the two countries have been promoted."
Have the main battle factions been promoted to official positions? The Duke of Windsor did not ask about the specific appointments of the generals of other countries, knowing that detailed information would soon be presented to him. But now, he doesn't have to think about it to know what it means, and the opportunity must not be lost. If he is a member of the Triple Alliance, he will definitely not give up such a great opportunity! After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as the kingdom of Demacia is stabilized, then in another ten years, the internal and external troubles will be lifted, and then the kingdom's annexation of the other three kingdoms will sweep the entire Varojan continent and there will be no stop......
While the Duke of Windsor was pondering, his servant suddenly walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. The Duke of Windsor just nodded, about the return of his only son, it was a trivial matter, not as good as the current form of countries, but ......
The Duke of Windsor frowned, Salestelle was back, he would have to go home, otherwise Vises would not be very happy. Looking at the official documents piled up on the table next to him, as well as the thoughtful faces of the subordinates under the seat, the Duke of Windsor couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, it's better to go home and relax, it's always in the official office, and it is difficult for him to calm down and plan for the future.
After a little preparation, the Duke of Windsor took care of some things and went home, it was already late at night when he returned home, and he did not wake up the two children considering that the children had just returned from the exhaustion of the journey. Muches knew the Duke of Windsor well, and guessed that the Duke of Windsor would return, so she did not rest and waited.
When the Duke of Windsor returned home, he felt very satisfied to see the lady who greeted him and prepared food and hot water for himself. He knew that Wei Xie Si might not be the innocent girl she was back then, and he also knew that Wei Xie Si was jealous of his cheap "younger brother" who had never met, but he knew better that he was the most important thing in Wei Xies's heart, she always thought about herself so much, and always loved herself so much.
"It's so late, and you don't rest early." The Duke of Windsor had a smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Versace took the towel from the basin of water, wrung it out, and like an ordinary woman taking care of her husband, she gently wiped the Duke of Windsor's face and wiped away his tiredness these days. The atmosphere between the two is quiet and beautiful, and it looks very warm under the dim yellow light. After the two of them, Wei Xie Siyi was next to the Duke of Windsor's arm, her face was not dissolved, but there was a little more calm calculation in her eyes.
"Laurent, Sal has come back from Freljord, it's been a hard journey, will you praise him more tomorrow? He didn't seem to have a smooth journey. Vises said in a seductive voice of concern.
This is a normal performance of a mother, the Duke of Windsor was tired, his face showed a tired look, and he only responded: "Boys must always hone and hone, otherwise how can they become talents?" You don't always pamper him. ”
"Sal is my child, I don't hurt who hurts? You are busy with official business all day long, and of course I, as a mother, should care more about him. He was still a child. ”
"The children of the Durang family are not a few years older than Sarestel this year, but they are already able to share the burden for the family, and Sarestel still needs to exercise more." The Duke of Windsor closed his eyes and was drowsy, but he always maintained a clear sense of sanity.
"Thrall can do it, and you don't know how smart he is." Hearing her husband praise other people's children, or the Durang family that she hated, Vises was slightly unconvinced in her tone. Mrs. Nadurang, relying on her old aristocratic blood, and her own family is more powerful than the Duke of Windsor, has never given herself a good face. Her child, whom Vises had also seen, was that better than Salestelle?
"It's smart, but it's just a little smart, and it takes hard work to grow into great wisdom." The Duke of Windsor reached out and grabbed Versace and whispered in her ear, "Let's go to bed early, I'm so tired these days." ”
Wei Xiesi's expression changed, although she knew that now was not a good time to say those words, but she really couldn't find any opportunity recently, so she could only stubbornly continue: "Don't underestimate Sal, he is your son, the situation is unstable during this time, but it is not an opportunity, and now the second prince attaches great importance to Sal. ”
At the mention of the second prince, the Duke of Windsor was stunned, and his voice was quite cold: "Wei Xies, I will have less contact with the second prince in the future." ”
Hearing this, Wei Xies's heart was shocked, and then she looked at her husband suspiciously. Finding Vises' puzzled gaze, the Duke of Windsor felt a little anxious, but after years of affection, he reached out and brushed Visce's hair, and his tone turned gentle: "You also know that the situation has been unstable recently, Your Majesty's current condition is very bad, and we can't rush in." ”
Visceth took Laurent's hand and said, "But...... But now is the right time...... Charcoal in the snow is always more precious than icing on the cake......"
The Duke of Windsor was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be something thoughtful in his eyes.

Salestel had breakfast and checked his appearance again, and then said goodbye to his parents and got into a carriage. When he left, Sarestel didn't notice his father's thoughtful expression, and this time he was going to the second prince's place. Since the Second Prince Sect has sent a mission, as a follower, he naturally has to reply.
Salestel now has no official position and is not free to enter the palace. But fortunately, there is no curfew in the palace, and the second prince Jiawu can come out at any time. Usually, as long as he informs the internal officials, the second prince will appear. This time, Sarestel was going to be the same as usual, but he was only halfway there, when he was suddenly stopped, and that person was the personal guard of the second prince, and he was also familiar with Sarestel well.
"Bodigert, why are you here?" Salestel was a little surprised that Bodigert was not with the second prince.
"I heard the news of your return, Your Highness sent me to pick you up." Bodigert's expression was slightly serious, he was a man of about thirty years old, and he had always looked down on a self-righteous villain like Salestelle, but he was very urban and never showed it.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince? I was about to go to him! ”
"His Highness is not in the palace now, he is waiting for you in the annex." Bodiggert said.
Seems to be waiting for yourself? Although the second prince has always been very polite to himself, because of the difference in identity, he will not do anything too diligent, it is very unusual to wait for himself like this, and it is ...... Salestel noticed what Bodigert had just said, and he had heard the news of his return.
Thinking of what he had been arranged, Salestel felt that the second prince's actions were a little too anxious, and sure enough, there was something strange about Freeljord. A dark glint flashed in Salestel's eyes, if he could know what made the second prince pay so much attention to Freljord, then maybe he could have an extra hole card. Salestel thought slowly as he was politely accommodating himself with Bodigerte.
The second prince's courtyard is in the suburbs outside the royal capital, although it is a little off, but it is better because the scenery is good and the place is big. Salestel had been there many times, all for parties to eat and drink, and of course to make some secret deals. When he arrived at the annex, Salestel saw the second prince, Jiawu. I haven't seen him for almost a month, and the second prince is a little thin, but there seems to be something different in his eyes. Secretly alert in his heart, Salestelle, as before, smiled when he saw the second prince.
The second prince was a young man in his twenties, blonde and blue-eyed, very handsome. As soon as he saw Salestel come in, a slightly concerned smile appeared on his face: "It's hard work for you to go to Freljord this time, I haven't seen you for so many days, and I have lost a lot of weight." ”
After running around for so long, Sarestel has indeed lost weight, and he showed a grateful expression: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, although it is hard to go out this time, I have also seen a lot of things, and I feel that I have learned a lot." ”
"You're talking about your uncle, aren't you?! I've also heard that he's doing a good job in Freljord. The second prince said lightly.
Sarestel was nervous, he used to be afraid of his feelings, and the second prince always called Brett by his name, rarely pointed out the identity of the other party as his uncle, and he praised him for doing a good job? Sure enough, there is a problem!
"Yes, I didn't expect my uncle to do so well, I really underestimated him before, and even a desolate place like Freljord can be turned into a land of fish and rice...... Salestel said. Since the second prince called Brett his uncle, he also called him uncle, although he was reluctant in his heart.
"Really?" The second prince bowed his head slightly, and Salestel could only see the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hypocrisy. Salestel said in his heart.
"Sure enough, it's the person he pays attention to......" the second prince said in a strange tone.
Salester didn't quite understand this sentence, he always felt that it meant something, but he didn't know what he was talking about, so he could only say a few words to show fun.
#####################################################
Liu Yu had long known that Salestel was going to be unfavorable to him, and his means were clear, which was nothing more than using the power of the Nature God Cult. Although the goddess of the forest who is believed in by the Cult of Deity likes peace, she is also very disgusted with the goblins who inherited the "atheistic" concept, and even acquiesces in the killing of goblins by believers. Although it has been difficult for the gods to show miracles on the land of Varoran since the collapse of the Divine Passage, the power of the major gods and cults is still no worse than that of the royal families of various countries!
Sarestel had a good idea, but the prerequisite was for the Cult of Deity to actually think that the dungeons were related to him. But now that his actions have been known in advance, what is the "layout"? With a little guidance, the people of the Cult of Deism will understand that Sarestel is going to deliberately frame himself, kill people with a knife, and treat them as fools, then the unlucky one will not be himself, it will only be Sarestle!
Liu Yu thought about it and felt that the work of currying favor with the Natural God Sect could start preparing first. That's when he thought of the paper mill that he had been preparing to build. Liu Yu really didn't like the smell of parchment, and he had endured it for many days, and the reason why he never started papermaking was that he didn't start papermaking. One is because the dungeon is busy, and obviously more important. Second, in the original idea, he wanted to develop papermaking into a new way to make money in his territory.
However, now that he has been a lord for almost a year, Liu Yu knows more about the situation in his territory. Considering that the trees in his territory are still newly planted and the vegetation is relatively scarce, it is not suitable for papermaking that requires a large number of trees. In addition, Liu Yu did not lack that bit of papermaking and that bit of money, so this work has been delayed. He also wanted to sell this technology to others for convenience and convenience. But there are also a few lords around Liu Yu, but unfortunately they haven't interacted with each other at all, at most, they secretly took away some grain seeds behind their backs, and they are all poorer than Liu Yu. It is the Demacian royal family that can bring the greatest benefit to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu's current relationship with the Demacian royal family is very delicate, and he doesn't want to be so cheap to them.
