Chapter 180: The Golden Rose Family's Past
Hilton's concerns, after dinner, Don found Obury and asked directly.
"The Golden Rose Family?"
Obury was stunned for a moment, and a hint of remembrance flashed on his face: "Of course I know ......"
"So, can you tell me why the original shop of the Golden Rose family became the property of the Foel family?"
"Why do you care so much about the Golden Rose family?"
Aubury looked at Donne, "...... Don't tell me you're the illegitimate son of the patriarch of the Golden Rose family. ”
"You're thinking too much."
Tang En said unceremoniously: "I took in a member of the Golden Rose family, and now she helps me take care of the territory and the Chamber of Commerce, so I have to figure out this matter." ”
Obury retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "It's a girl......
"How do you know?"
Obury's voice was a little bitter: "Of course I know that the only heir of the Golden Rose family, Fiona. Golden Rose. ”
"You know her?" Tang En frowned slightly, "It seems that there are still many stories in this?" ”
"To put it simply, it's still a matter of factional struggle......
Aubury sighed, "The Golden Rose family is a family from a merchant background, you should already know it, right?" ”
After seeing Don nod, Aubury continued, "Then do you know the difference between the royal faction and the aristocratic faction? ”
Don pondered for a moment, thinking about the missions he had done in the game, trying to find some clues from them, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any really useful clues.
It's been a few months since I came into this world. Now the trajectory of this world has become more and more different from that game on Earth. I'm afraid a lot of previous experience can't be applied.
"I'll be straight."
Aubury no longer plays pantomime with Donn. After taking a sip of tea, he said in a deep voice: "The biggest difference is that the royal faction controls the military power, while the aristocratic faction controls the economy. ”
After listening to Auberry's words, a lightning bolt seemed to pass through his mind, and Donne's doubts were instantly solved: "You mean, the Golden Rose's final choice will break this balance, so it will be unlucky?" ”
"That's right."
Obury looked out the window. His eyes were a little sluggish, and Don En followed suit.
Today is the middle of the month, the pink red moon Lolita and the blue moon Loria hang together in the sky, the blurry colors make the whole city hazy and dreamy, every time he sees these two moons, Don will be more clear that he has come to another world, can deeply experience a sense of loneliness.
"The royal faction and the aristocratic faction have been at a stalemate for many years, and the previous majesty, that is, the father of His Majesty Victor, failed to curb the power of the noble faction. The same is true of His Majesty Victor now. ”
Although the royal faction had control of the military, the huge military expenditure led to the royal faction in addition to maintaining a stable rule. There is no spare strength to deal with the aristocratic faction, not to mention that the royal family also needs the taxes of the nobles to feed the army. ”
"The same is true of the aristocratic faction, who control the economic lifeblood of the empire, and whose power has penetrated all sides, if they can't be killed at once, their counterattack will be as crazy as the cultists, but fortunately, they can't control the military power."
"It is precisely because of this that the two sides are in a state of equilibrium."
"The Golden Rose family was originally just a neutral chamber of commerce, and they had no intention of joining the factional struggle, so they were all safe with each other. However, by chance......"
Speaking of this, Obury's face became complicated: "I saved Mr. Edward's family. ”
"Mr. Edward?"
"Fiona's father, the patriarch of the Golden Rose family, and the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Edward. Golden Rose. ”
Obury sighed, "Fiona was still a very little girl...... So many years have passed in a blink of an eye......"
Hearing this, Don basically already knew that the fall of the Foel family and the Golden Rose family must have nothing to do with it, but ...... With his relationship, the Golden Rose family will actually be destroyed?
"Since then, Edward and I have become friends and have grown closer, even to the point of ...... I'm also Fiona's godfather. ”
Tang En was stunned: "What!?" ”
Aubury said casually: "I am in charge of her baptism, she should not be impressed, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that because of my relationship with Edward, the Golden Rose family began to lean towards the royal faction, so this made the noble faction uneasy." ”
Don nodded to understand that factional struggles are normal, but the most important point is that there must be a balance, and once the two sides lose their power, it will cause a chain reaction.
And the relationship between Orbury and Edward was undoubtedly the starting point of the chain reaction.
"During a routine national patrol, Adrien and I left Alinkes at the same time, and that gave the aristocracy a chance to do it...... I also learned later, when they found out that the Golden Rose family was inclined to the royal faction, they had already started to plan, and after such a long plan, they completely uprooted the Golden Rose family almost in one day! ”
A hint of gloom flashed on Aubery's face: "By the time I got the news, it was too late, Edward and his wife had passed away, fortunately I got the news, Fiona was secretly sent away by the two of them, and later under the strong suppression of His Majesty Victor and me, the aristocratic faction was able to give up, and the remaining members of the Golden Rose family were saved." ”
"But they want to reorganize, but it is impossible, the property of the Golden Rose family was seized and looted by those nobles under various pretexts, Fiona lost those properties, and she was very young and unable to organize at all, and it didn't take long for those people to be scattered."
"I originally wanted to take her back, but unfortunately she didn't trust anyone at all when she encountered this kind of thing, so I could only send someone to protect her in secret."
Obury breathed a long sigh of relief: "All these years have passed, she has been safe and sound, I thought it was all over, but just half a year ago she suddenly disappeared from Alinkes, and even my people have not been able to find her trace...... I didn't expect her to go to you. ”
"That's really ......"
Don was speechless, he knew it was such a boring thing, so he didn't listen to his nonsense, after saying so much, in short, Fiona's enemy is the aristocratic faction?
Things that can be done in one sentence, but having said so much, this guy from Obery shouldn't be full of food and has nothing to do, so he deliberately counts the words, right?
Tang En pouted: "In other words, this shop was taken back by you later?" ”
"That's right."
Obury spread his hands: "Originally, I wanted to keep it and wait for her to grow up to find an excuse to give it to her, so that she could have a means to make a living, but I didn't expect you to pop up in the middle and take the shop away, and what I didn't expect was that Fiona was still with you...... Hey? ”
Speaking of this, Aubery suddenly looked at Don vigilantly: "Speaking of which, you and Fiona won't have that kind of relationship, right?" …… Fiona and Elsa...... You're not honest, huh? ”
"Where do you want to go......"
Tang En couldn't cry or laugh: "We are just very pure and have a very pure relationship between superiors and subordinates, okay?" ”
"The relationship between superiors and subordinates is pure?"
Aubury scoffed: "The same sex will be impure, let alone the opposite sex." ”
"Say whatever you want."
Don waved his hand: "I'll go back." ”
After that, he went back to his room, and after figuring out the matter, he also understood who Fiona's enemy was.
Hilton was still waiting for Don in the room, and when he saw Don come back, he couldn't wait to come up, and Don told her about it.
"There is such a thing!?"
Hilton was also stunned, and Obury. Grand Duke of Verelle, who is actually Miss Fiona's godfather!? And I'm good friends with President Edward!? She had never heard of this kind of secret news before!
Don said: "This is a good thing, so don't think about it, go back and rest, tomorrow with people, let's go to the shop together." ”
"I see, I'm just happy."
Hilton wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled: "It seems that Miss Fiona's revenge is hopeful." ”
"Revenge, ......"
Avenge?
Of course, revenge must be avenged.
However, Don is definitely not as good as Fiona doing it herself.
Fiona has now stepped out of the shadows of the past, but she is still working hard to revitalize the Golden Rose family as a goal, which shows that she still has that hatred in her heart.
Killing them outright is not the best way to get revenge.
Aren't the aristocratic faction proud of being economically strong?
Then let Fiona completely crush them financially and make them collapse to despair!
With his wisdom from the earth and Fiona's business knowledge, the Datang Chamber of Commerce jointly created will surely become a nightmare for the aristocratic faction!
Destroy what they are most proud of, break their confidence, bring them to a crumble, and then slash out the mastermind of the plot in the first place......
This kind of revenge is the sweetest......
Don suddenly shuddered and came back to his senses.
How could he have such a black belly...... That's not his character......
If the Avengers were him, Don thought about it in his mind, and then he realized that it was not too much......
It was busy for a while at night, and Tang En was originally going to be busy all night as planned, but Eliya, the little guy, came running over again, and he was not even afraid of the threat of spanking, so he was cheeky and asked for a hug, so Don let him sleep with her.
In desperation, Don had no choice but to finish it ahead of schedule, hugging Eliya and coaxing her to sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, Donn, Elijah, and Elsa went out together, followed Hilton in a carriage, and came to the shop in the market area.
The only place in the outer city where you can often see nobles haunting is probably the market area, which is also related to the particularity of the market area, after all, even if it is an aristocrat, there is a time to buy things.
"This is it?"
Don stood at the door of the shop and was stunned. (To be continued.) )
