Chapter 138 Arranging the funeral
When Wessen led everyone to go to the bathroom every day and wanted to ride a unicorn, the barracks outside Ansbach was very lively every day.

In the main tent of the barracks, Rudolph and a group of earls sat at a round table, drinking heavily and eating meat, with musicians playing cheerful music beside them.

Most of the roast pigs on the dining table have been eaten, and the wine barrels are several empty, and the smell of alcohol in the air can make people intoxicated.

Rudolph had just emptied his wine glass, and Count Eichstätter, who was sitting next to him, immediately poured the wine for him, and a soft slime touched his arm inadvertently.

Eichstätter's body shrank back suddenly, his lovely face flushed slightly, and Rudolph's heart beat a few times when he saw it.

Rudolph leaned over and stretched out his head to whisper something in her ear.

Eichstätter's face immediately revealed an expression of extreme surprise, and he kept asking Rudolph if what he just said was true.

Rudolph didn't answer, just continued drinking.

Eichstätter didn't wait for the glass to be empty, and immediately poured him wine from the small barrel. This time, he didn't shrink back, but the shyness on his face became a little stronger.

After a while, Rudolph smiled and nodded.

Earl Ansbach, Earl Felt, and Earl Roth saw this scene in their eyes and pretended not to see it. They talked about training hounds. Their territories were connected and they often hunted together.

Earl Rhys didn't have any expression on his face. He drank and ate meat alone, didn't participate in the conversation, and didn't look at the two people who were getting warmer over there.

Everyone didn't care. They all knew that the sole heir of his family was now a fool, and his daughter-in-law was childless. He wanted to bring his illegitimate son upright but was opposed by his in-laws. In the past two years, he had been drinking all day long and hadn't been sober.

Now everyone can see that Eichstätter is seducing Rudolph, and the reaction of His Royal Highness does not seem to be a rookie.

As for the result, anyway, no one would think that Eichstaedt would become the crown princess. Holding her thigh is one thing, but getting married is another. Even if Rudolph is stupid, the king is not.

But this is not useless. The king placed them here, and they are attached to the king with all their glory. If there is no king's support, they will end up like the current Wesson family.

Just now, under the witness of Rudolph, these five families signed an alliance agreement to fight against the neighboring Principalities of Mainz and Bavaria.

If Earl Eichstätter can cooperate with the prince in the most in-depth manner, it will be extremely beneficial to strengthen the relationship between the alliance and the royal family.

Rudolph waited for an event, and everyone dispersed after eating and drinking.

Earl Rhys walked out of the tent, and the butler was already waiting on him.

He looked up at the sun that was beginning to set, and said to the butler, "Jules, come with me for a walk."

After finishing speaking, Earl Reese walked out of the barracks with only the butler, and climbed up the nearby mountain.

This mountain is almost [-] meters high. Now the top of the mountain can give a bird's-eye view of the entire military camp. You can also see Rudolph riding his own silver-white unicorn with Eichstätter sitting in front of him. The two left the military camp together and walked along the nearby The river went upstream.

Earl Rhys found a big rock and sat down, watching the sinking sun without moving, and said calmly until the sunset began to appear: "Jules, your son and daughter are in Wesson."

Jules stood behind the master for a long time, at first he thought the master was in a routine daze, but he didn't expect to ask such a question that could kill him suddenly.

Fortunately, these people had already prepared an excuse, and Jules immediately replied quickly: "Report to the master, I will send them to Wesson to be undercover."

Earl Rhys was noncommittal to this answer, but still said calmly: "I have been with me since I was ten years old, and now it has been 40 years."

"Your family has been serving my family since your great-grandfather, almost 100 years."

"There's one thing I haven't told you for 40 years."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Jules' forehead, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Earl Rhys continued: "The night before you came to me, your father told me that you would speak faster than usual when you lied. I didn't expect you to still be like this now."

Cold sweat broke out on Jules' back all of a sudden, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Oh... I don't blame you." Earl Rhys sighed deeply, "I am also a father, and we understand your thoughts."

He patted the stone beside him, and said softly: "Let's sit together, we haven't sat and watched the sunset together for many years and talked to each other, when was the last time?"

Jules immediately replied, "It's the day before my lord's 16th birthday."

"So it's been so long." Earl Rhys sighed, "36 years in the blink of an eye."

"Come and sit down, we haven't talked for a long time."

Hearing what the master said, Jules carefully sat beside him.

Earl Reese patted his shoulder with his fat hand, squeezed it hard, and then sighed: "You are old too, I remember the last time I patted you on the shoulder, that day was when your son was born, and you His shoulders are thick."

"The child is 20 years old now, and your daughter is also [-] years old, and there is only a bone left in your shoulder."

"Oh, I'm the one who's sorry for you. You jumped into the ice hole and rescued me when I fell into the ice hole that year. I didn't expect you to have offspring so late."

"People of our age, what are we trying to do, why not pave the way for our children before we die."

"That's what our king thinks. For this reason, I lost two sons and lost one."

"Why was I the first to jump out and put the crime on Henry's head? We used to have a good relationship. If she hadn't died young, she would have married Frederick. It wasn't the king's guarantee. As long as I have a grandson, I will be considered a son." Silly, the family and title will continue."

Having said that, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He had a daughter who was three years older than Frederick. At that time, after Frederick was born, the two families were going to make a baby marriage. Unexpectedly, the little girl died of illness not long after.

Jules bowed his head in silence, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands.

Earl Rhys continued to sigh and said, "Both of your family are smart children. It's good to go to Wessenland. There are many excellent scholars there. After you learn the skills, you can eat anywhere."

"This battle is not so easy to fight. They underestimated Wesson collar too much. The high-yielding seeds and continuous wealth blinded everyone's eyes."

"That bastard from Ansbach stuffed all the vases inlaid with gold that the prince brought to me, but kept all the servants they brought who could fight."

"Are these people easy to serve? If that bastard from Ansbach can't serve them, he will give them to me. Maybe I will be killed by these people under the city of Heim."

"Jules, since some things are going to be sold, they have to be sold at a good price, and it can't be seen as very cheap."

"If I die and Frederick wins, you can open the city gate when they come to attack the city. The conditions are not harsh. Let Frederick treat that stupid boy well and let him go through his life in peace. .”

Jules raised his head suddenly, turned his head and looked at Earl Rhys in disbelief, not knowing what to say in panic.

"Going back." Earl Rhys stood up without waiting for Jules' answer.

For Earl Reese, it doesn’t matter whether he answers this matter or not. This big tree is about to fall, and the monkeys running on the tree are normal. If Jules has the conscience to take care of his stupid son, then thank the light God.

Earl Reese saw Rudolph and Eichstedt riding a unicorn back, Eichstedt held the reins, Rudolph put his arms around her waist, sneered and said: "I will take those vases with me the day after tomorrow." Go back to the territory, you go back to the place where you prepared for them to station tomorrow, and you have only left the battle for a few days."

After saying this, he walked down the mountain alone under the afterglow of the setting sun.
