Chapter 186: Wingman Codename Victor
Alink, the capital of the Illuth Empire, is a huge city where many things happen every day, but due to the lag of means of communication, sometimes it can take days for what happens on one side of the city to reach the other side.
But this is only the situation among the commoners, if it is news in the circle of nobles, I am afraid that it will not take an hour what happened, and all the nobles will know.
That's where power comes in and out.
If there is anything worth mentioning in Alinks lately, it must be that the Marquis of Kadir fell at the door of the noble council, and it is said that he returned home and recuperated for three days before going to the ground! As for whether he was angry with the guy named Don, or if he really fell so badly, the others were not clear.
And speaking of that Donn, the nobles of Alinks are also full of doubts, this guy can't find any origin at all, only know that he made an exception from His Majesty Victor to obtain the identity of Lord Ellington, this time he was recalled to Alinks by the Noble Council, not only lived in the house of Aubery Foell, but also had a stalemate with the Noble Council, and slapped the face of the acting president, Leander Spard......
Although I don't know if these are the orders of His Majesty Victor or Obery, he must be a new force of the royal faction.
This newcomer of the royal faction behaved so much, how would the aristocratic faction react? At least the revenge against that Don is certainly indispensable, but I don't know how he will deal with it.
Also, will Obery make a move?
If he makes a move, he will tear his face and break the rules of the game, and I'm afraid the Spad family will not sit idly by......
Now many members of the neutral faction are waiting to see a good show.
In addition to the above, there are also interesting things such as Princess Aurelia going to spend a day at the Royal Military Academy of Illus and being warmly welcomed by the students. It is said that she chatted secretly with Dean Byron Ducater in her room for a while, and many suspected that she was trying to win over the neutral Abbot Byron to become a royal faction......
His Majesty Victor went to the Cathedral of the Holy Light to pray, and at the same time once again issued a declaration that the royal power was divinely bestowed, and any attempt to divide the empire and challenge the royal power was a blasphemy against the gods......
The shop in the market area, which belonged to the Foel family, suddenly ceased operation and was transferred to others. Now it was covered with cloth all around, and only the clanging sound could be heard inside, but even the people of the Business Alliance did not know who took over the shops in this prime location, and His Majesty Victor stopped at the door of the shop for a moment when he left the Cathedral of the Holy Light, a move that intrigued many people.
In addition to this, there was another piece of news that made many nobles fidget.
Aubery Verbere sent a wide invitation, inviting many nobles to a dinner party at Verayer Manor, and that Orbury, who had killed countless people, would actually invite others to a banquet at home?
This stunned everyone who received the invitation. I wonder if someone is playing a prank.
Aubury had never hosted a banquet, and he was notoriously fond of joining in the fun, and his favorite thing to do was practice his swordsmanship in his courtyard while the Bolaite family was hosting a banquet - the flying sword energy would always make a mess of Adrien's banquet, and what would have followed was a big battle between the two of them.
Alink's high society is almost used to this, so he was so surprised to receive an invitation today.
However, when they saw that the purpose of the banquet was to celebrate the return of his granddaughter, Elsa Foel, the expressions of many became even more meaningful.
Obury's son, Alberton, renounced his inheritance and left Alynx with no known whereabouts. It was an open secret for Alink, and many people even thought that Alberton must be dead. But the news can't be leaked, so Obury deliberately made an excuse, saying that Alberton was forced to run away from home because his wife Clara couldn't bear the oppression of the Bolaite family - because Obury smeared himself, Adrien had been in trouble with him for more than ten years.
As a result, now, he suddenly popped out of a granddaughter, and he had to hold a banquet for his granddaughter......
The meaning of this seems to be not so simple......
The minds of many nobles came alive. Could it be that Obury is planning to take the opportunity to choose a son-in-law for his granddaughter? Take advantage of the marriage of the granddaughter and at the same time win over some families that are worth wooing, and strengthen the power of the royal faction?
It's very possible!
I don't know if it's true or not, but I can't give up this opportunity!
So many aristocratic families with young unmarried men left and began to prepare, even some fat guys like balls, maybe his granddaughter's taste was more unique. If you're lucky, you'll be spotted?
Royal Palace of Illus.
Victor Illuth sat at his desk, his eyes closed and silent.
His temples were slightly white, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were very pronounced, his skin was dull and dull without a healthy sheen, and the short beard on his lips was faintly white, making him look as if he was fifty or sixty years old, but he was not yet fifty years old.
The battle with the vampires of the aristocratic faction made him emaciated, so he aged very quickly.
In front of him at this moment was the invitation to the banquet sent by Orbury, and I am afraid that even Don did not expect that Orbury would send the invitation to Victor.
Of course, Victor's invitation was not copied by the servants, but written by Obery himself, and the content was not the same, in addition to the invitation to the banquet, Obery also asked a lot about Donne, he didn't understand why Victor valued Donn so much, let alone Don't understand Done's origin, he wanted to know an answer.
Answer...... Alas, if only there was such a simple answer. ”
Victor sighed and rubbed his temples, Donn's true identity?
He doesn't know!
Victor has a secret that no one else knows.
He could hear the oracle.
It was because I heard the oracle that I arranged it that way.
The devil knows if that guy is descending from a god or if it's the private ...... of a god
Victor shuddered suddenly, and immediately prayed devoutly: "Oh! Gods, please forgive me for my irreverent thoughts......"
After waiting for a moment, not hearing the god's rebuke, Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, I'm coming."
Then. A soft voice sounded, and Victor nodded: "You did a good job over there, half-truths are more likely to confuse their sight...... Your brother's side is also going well, and he has already gained a lot of support. ”
"This is all arranged by you, Father."
Aurelia sighed, "Does this really work, though?" ”
"Whether it's useful or not, at least we can't let those guys affect the re-emergence of our empire."
Victor snorted coldly. There was silence in the study again, and after a moment, Victor pushed the invitation forward: "Your Aunt Parola's house is going to have a banquet, you can go." ”
"Aunt Parola?"
Aurelia was stunned: "When will Lord Lord Verelle also hold a banquet?" ”
"The claim to be because of the return of his granddaughter, Elsa Foell, is actually the real purpose...... I'm afraid he misunderstood something. ”
Victor smiled bitterly, although Aubery complained about that Donn many times in the letter, but the words were also full of praise for him, thinking that he had found a very good talent, and the royal family would definitely rise gradually with him joining......
However, the real situation is clear only to Victor. Is Don a talent he discovered?
What a joke, that's the one who can be sent down by the gods themselves......
Although the gods have asked him not to interfere in any of Donn's affairs, and there have been no new oracles since, Victor doesn't think he has the right to get Donn into the factional struggle.
But......
Victor pondered for a moment, in this case, a small use of it should not be punished by the gods, right?
Aurelia waited a long time and didn't wait for the next step, staring at Victor with wide eyes, not knowing what he was doing again.
Looking closely at her father's face, Aurelia felt sour again. It's only been a year, and the hair on my father's sideburns is a little grayer. It looks a lot older.
Why? The archbishop of the Holy Light Cathedral would bless his father every time he prayed, why did his father still age so quickly?
Is this the fate of the king?
"Aurelia, I remember you've never been to any banquets outside of the palace, right?"
Victor suddenly opened his eyes: "Dress up and go to this banquet." ”
Aurelia was stunned for a moment: "Father? ”
Although you need to dress up to participate in the banquet, the words that my father deliberately said are another meaning.
That means that the royal family takes this banquet very seriously. It will bring a lot of different understandings to the outside world.
"Don't care about those people."
Victor's expression was complicated: "At the banquet, you have only one mission...... Get acquainted with the guy named Don, and if you can, make sure to build a good relationship with him. ”
"Father!?"
Aurelia's eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?" Do you want me to marry that Donne? ”
Thanks to the vows of her father and mother, Aurelia has grown so much that Victor has never taken advantage of her feelings and marriage. This is simply unthinkable in the royal family.
"What!? No! No, no, no! Definitely not! ”
Victor was startled, glanced at the door nervously, and then lowered his voice and said, "Daughter, remember, don't say this kind of thing again...... You must remember that I asked you to have a good relationship with him, so that he can have good intentions towards our royal family, and not be an enemy, but not let you pursue him...... You and him, it's impossible, you understand? ”
Victor is very self-aware, and the fact that Don is of unknown origin, but that he can make a god send down an oracle speaks of his extraordinary.
And as the daughter of a mortal, how can He De be worthy of him?
If it was him who pursued Aurelia, it would certainly be a big surprise.
But what if Aurelia pursues him on her own initiative, what if people don't like to be treated like this? What if that's not what people like? What if people have different tastes?
Angered him, it is likely that the next time it will not be an oracle, but a divine punishment......
Even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, Victor didn't want to risk it.
Therefore, it is the safest thing to have a good relationship with him, stay friendly, and do not overstep his identity.
“…… I understand. ”
Aurelia didn't understand why her father was so nervous, but she agreed, but perhaps it was because of her father's nervousness about that Don that Aurelia also became inexplicably curious about Donn.
I'm afraid that Victor did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that just because of these few words he drew snakes, things began to get out of control...... (To be continued.) )
