Chapter 297: The 'Crazy' Person Who Attempted to Break the Rules

After Darius said this, he took a sip of the red wine, smacked his thick lips and shook his head.

The fat head and big ears are shaking.

The words were totally inconsistent with his silly and foolish appearance.

"I don't think highly of James. In the battle for the crown prince, the Boreas family is still useful. The overall situation is more important."

He grinned.

"Am I such a person who doesn't understand the overall situation, Your Highness?"

Upon hearing this, the First Prince Gravel nodded, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he leaned back in his chair.

He paused for a moment and asked again.

This is a possibility that is completely opposite to the previous question:
"Then do you think that James, the dog, took advantage of this ambush to kill Allen, who was a threat to his position as the head of the family? That's why he ruined the good situation? He lost two king-level soldiers along the way (the prince's resources did not include the mercenary Wayne).

Although only one of them was interested in becoming a follower, it was still a real loss. It was a good thing he did."

This time I am sincere.

Darius paused slightly, looking at the red wine in the glass, and recalled the day when he first met Alan at the instruction of God.

An anonymous letter of accusation was arranged to be sent to James, informing him that Alan Boreas Greyrat was secretly planning to leave the capital.

then.

He single-handedly induced the ambush and killing of the red dragon's upper jaw.

Darius narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he burst into laughter.

Two cunning pupils squeezed in the flesh revealed a hidden glow.

". There is no such possibility. It is more likely that James was planned by Philip of Fitoya. As for the loss of potential retainers, Your Highness does not need to feel sorry."

"King Bei, Vi-Ta is not useful."

"Water King, Huilin Reitbart cannot be used."

"In the plan, they were just pawns that could be thrown away after the ambush was successful."

This time, Gravel just nodded and did not question Darius after hearing this.

It is enough to test this matter once, and to prevent infighting among retainers and staff, just do it in moderation.

It’s too late.

He nodded, was silent for a moment, then stroked the hair of the maid squatting in front of him and spoke.

"So, Alan Boreas Greyrat is indeed very powerful? When did such a lion appear among the nobles of the capital?"

Darius seemed like a vulgar person who didn't know how to appreciate red wine, and drank the whole glass of red wine in one gulp.

Put it on the table.

"That's the case based on the current intelligence. Does Your Highness want to recruit him?"

The First Prince was silent for a moment and then sneered.

"Even if the intelligence is true, so what? It is ultimately a matter of personal force. The next head of the Boreas family will be James after all. They cannot coexist."

Darius played with his fingers, saying nothing.

Seeing this, Gravel added another sentence.

"If I can abandon my retainers at will, how can I gain more nobles to serve me? In addition..."

He shook his head.

"He's just a sword king. My stupid sister acted like she had found a lifeline and was full of flattery. She has brought shame to the royal family. How could I play this kind of retainer game with her?"

"It's short-sighted. Alan, this descendant, can never represent Boreas."

Darius reached out and pinched Doristina's cheek, signaling her to use more strength.

The fat, greasy thigh muscles were tight.

The words he spoke were quite relaxed.

".That's true, but I did hear some interesting things today."

Gravel glanced sideways at Darius.

"Oh?"

"I heard that Alan Boreas Greyrat will hold a public commendation ceremony for those promoted to Water King at the Mizugami-ryu Dojo tomorrow afternoon."

Gravel was stunned.

"Water King level? Isn't the intelligence that it's Sword King level?"

"It is said that he claims to be the Water King."

"Hahahahahaha" Gravel's laughter suddenly echoed in the conference room.

However, there were no words of flattery from the side as I had imagined.

Darius' expression did not change.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Gravel turned his head to look at Darius, squinting at Darius's fleshy face.

"Oh? Sir Darius thinks it is true?"

Darius shook his head.

"I don't know, but it seems that Leda has admitted it. I wrote to her today and asked her about it. She didn't hide anything in her words. Instead, she openly acknowledged the strength of Alan Boreas Greylat."

Gravel narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.

"If that's the case, does he want to enter 'Morning Light'?"

Darius didn't comment, but just leaned back in his chair with his head raised.

Gravel thought for a moment and continued.

"In that case, my sister is really stupid. She always does meaningless things like winning popularity."

Darius let out a long breath, his face looking relieved.

"It's still unclear. I heard that he has announced that he will return to the Holy Land of Swords. It seems like a gimmick to become famous. If he really wants to become famous, it is still unknown whether he will enter 'Dawn'."

Gravel raised his eyebrows. "Waiting for a price?"

"Maybe."

There was silence.

"Haha, let's wait and see what this kid is up to."

As Gravel was teasing like this, Darius on the side had already looked at him sideways.

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

Alan and his friends finally rejected Ariel's invitation to stay for dinner, and soon after Pilemon left, they proposed to leave.

Ariel wasn't even given the chance to go to the living room to have a cup of tea.

Several people said goodbye at the gate of the mansion.

Ariel arranged the carriage.

"That's all for today. The assassination last night must have exhausted you. As I said before, don't worry, there won't be any more assassinations in the next few days, so just rest assured and have a good rest."

Alan said this as he looked at the two knights patrolling in the night in the shadows outside the mansion door.

Ariel looked at Allen and shook her head helplessly.

"You know that's not what I want to say."

Alan turned his head and looked into Ariel's face.

"Thank you in advance."

Ariel replied. "Tomorrow afternoon, the more nobles the better?"

"Well, the more the better. The Mizugami-ryu Dojo is very large, so there is no need to worry about crowding. Moreover, when there are many nobles, there will naturally be classes. If there are many low-level nobles, they will naturally make room for the front row seats for the high-level nobles."

Ariel stared into Alan's eyes and blinked.

"So is this still the 'price' for fulfilling the 'borrowing period'?"

Alan looked at Ariel, as if he was trying to judge something, but finally he smiled.

"I personally owe you a favor."

A smile finally appeared on Ariel's face.

"it is good!"

The wheels of the carriage rolled away.

The car's shadow gradually disappeared in the blue eyes, turning into a black dot and disappearing at the end of the wide street.

She seemed to be in a very happy mood. She turned around and walked towards the mansion, and even stretched leisurely in the middle.

He looked relieved.

He even told the maids beside him with a smile which ones he would have the emperor's favor with tonight, which made the maids blush and say yes repeatedly, then quickly ran to inform the maids whose names were called.

It looks like everyone will be very tired tonight.

Yes, that includes herself.

However, Dilic, who was next to Ariel, looked sad and tense.

He had originally been thinking about recruiting Pilemon, but in just one hour, not only did Pilemon, the potential investor, fail to invest enough money, he even ran away.

What’s even more hateful is that Alan Boreas Greyrat still hasn’t said a word about joining Ariel’s camp.

He even threatened Pilemon that he would kill his father? ?
What kind of logic is this??
Is he crazy? ?

What’s even more strange is that Princess Ariel was able to relax and even think about this?
But it really made him worried.

How much do you trust this man? Don't you think his words and actions are getting weirder?

"Your Highness, please stop asking Lord Allen. He just said he wanted to kill me." "No need to ask. Allen naturally has his own ideas. Whether it is to induce him with words, to force Lord Pilemon to retreat, or any other meaning, I don't care."

"Dilik. This is the best possible outcome."

"Alan Boreas Greyrat is different from others. If you want to win him, you must first trust him, stand by his side, and interact with him sincerely. As for his brain, do you really think he is a reckless person?"

Ariel's social etiquette, which had been tense all day, melted into the playful ending of her words.

Her golden hair was a little messy and scattered on her forehead, but her expression was filled with a hint of excitement.

"Has the mansion been 'cleaned' again? Dilic."

Dilic wanted to say something, but Ariel changed the subject. He couldn't help feeling a little guilty, after all, he was the one who let the maid, guard and killer on the ship.

"I have given orders to drive them away."

"That's not necessary. Allen said on the ship that the assassination has ended. Judging from the motive, my dear brother must have placed all the assassins he could on the ship. And I'm afraid that before we returned, people arranged by the emperor would have come to screen us."

"At least recently, the mansion is absolutely safe. With the current situation in the capital, no one will allow me to have another accident."

Dilic smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"You completely trust Mr. Allen."

Ariel blinked at him.

"He saved me, and if I don't trust him, who else can I trust?"

Dilik paused, his face a little panicked, and he was about to express his loyalty.

Then I heard Ariel say.

"Of course, I trust you as well. After all, you are my guardian warlock, right?"

".This assassination was indeed my fault"

"Dilic! Stop talking! It's over!"

"."

Ariel patted Dilic on the shoulder.

"You're tired too. Go to bed early and don't think too much. You've been too tense since last night, haven't you?"

".As commanded."

"Let the news of the commendation banquet be released early tomorrow morning."

Dilic nodded. "Just the invitation from His Majesty the Water God, or my invitation to the banquet, may not have much impact, but the combination of the two, plus Boreas, I think many nobles will go to the Water God's main dojo, even if they just want to take a look. I will personally make the decision."

"sorry to bother you."

".This is what I should do."

Ariel smiled mischievously and walked away with a relaxed pace.

Dilic watched the other person walk away surrounded by maids.

But he sighed and his face became even more sad.

He walked with his head down, full of worries, back to his mansion, closed the door, and was about to polish the invitation to the dinner when there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

Dilik stood up and opened the door.

Outside the door was the maid who was responsible for cleaning her bedroom and delivering meals to her.

He was wearing some cool clothes and looked down at himself.

The guardian warlock's bedroom is very close to Ariel's bedroom, and the bathroom is naturally next door.

Some obscure voices have begun to be heard.

It seems that Ariel is really tired.

The maid looked at Dilic's dull face and spoke carefully. "Lord Dilic, I heard that Her Highness Ariel said you seemed very tired. She asked me to come tonight."

"No need!" Dilic Light refused!

Are you kidding? A good man like Asura should be riding on the waves of power in the royal capital. How can he think about riding this every day?
The maid was a little disappointed, but the next moment she took out a piece of letter from behind her.

"Okay, you can call me anytime if you need me. Also, this is the letter I received from outside the capital a few days ago."

Dilic didn't even want to take the letter, but before he could raise his hand to refuse, the other party's subsequent voice floated into his ears.

"This time it doesn't seem to be from your hometown, judging by the postmark, it's from Fitoya Territory."

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the letter.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome~ Lord Dilic."

After a while, the maid left and the letter was spread out on the table. Dilic read every word very carefully, with a look of realization and faint excitement on his face.
-
Dear Diliq Reitbart:
First, let me introduce myself.

I am Philip Boreas Graylat, Mayor of Fitoalloa.

It is very presumptuous of me to write this letter to you without your permission, asking for your news.

But I think, perhaps you are living in the beginning of the battle for the crown prince, and this is the moment when you need a certain attitude.

You and I both know that James Boreas Greyrat is under the First Prince in the battle for the crown prince.

This is a depressing fact.

To be honest, from my personal point of view, I never thought that the first prince or the second prince was the next monarch destined by Asura. Although I have been away from the capital for a long time, the decadent and exhausted state of the aristocracy has been fully revealed.

If he ignores Asura's future, he will impose his own selfish desires on power.

This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Asra's future.

But, fortunately, Asura still has Her Royal Highness the Second Princess.

I believe from the bottom of my heart that if Her Highness Ariel wins the support of the people, she may have the ability to change the current situation.

Therefore, I decided to send the most outstanding third-generation heir of the Boreas family to the capital according to my idea.

Alan Boreas Graylat.

Although it is a bit difficult to say, he is not James's third son, but my eldest son. Due to some family traditions, he was sent to the capital as a hostage when he was a baby.

But last year, he had already recognized us and obtained the approval of Prince Sauros.

The future of Boreas is in his hands.

I believe you will be able to see him soon.

This is an opportunity for you and me.

Alan is a child who worships the power of martial arts, and he has already gained recognition as a martial artist in the Suishinryu Dojo. I am proud of him.

But this is not suitable for the situation in the royal capital.

The fight for the crown prince will ultimately come down to power connections.

Allen has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has made some achievements in this area, so he has a high respect for the use of force.

He is extremely disdainful of power.

Of course, 'Morning Light' is one way.

But this is not the result I want to see. It is a waste of his talent and is useless in this battle for the crown prince.

To tell you the truth, Alan, my child, you have a greater talent for strategy than for strength.

You may scoff at my words, but I would like to ask you to contact him, and then you will get an answer that satisfies you.

This was Allen's chance.

This is my chance.

This is also Boreas' opportunity.

Eventually, I think.

This is also an opportunity for Her Royal Highness the Second Princess.

At last.

I can’t speak for Boreas.

But my son, Alan Boreas Graylat.

He can represent Boreas.

The future is in the future.

But the future can also be now.

—Philip Boreas Graylat.
-
With a thud, the thick letter paper with the Iron Heart emblem of Boreas fell onto the table.

Dilic's face turned pale and his fingers were shaking.

The information has been completed.

And all the seemingly strange behaviors of Alan just now were explained.

James Boreas Greyrat was not his father at all!

Philip Boreas Graylat is it!
Allen disdains power!
Alan is loyal to the knife in his hand!

He wants to take back the position of head of the Boreas family!
The simplest way is to use your reputation to kill James with a knife!

That's why he kept rejecting invitations from Her Highness Ariel! Because his mind was not on the battle for the crown prince at all!

But how can this work?????
How can reputation be higher than the law? And how can Chenxi be his backyard guard? ? ? ?
Can the Water God protect this man who killed his father?
Trying to crush power by force?
he.
he.
He is a lunatic!!

　Darius's behavior is contradictory, but reasonable, and a long line is laid here.

　　So far, let’s take a look at the human-god apostles that have appeared and their respective statuses:
　　 1 Allen 2 Isaruti 3 Mad Dragon King's Son Puppet Master 4 Darius. 2 was abandoned due to the disruption, 3 died.

　　There is still one spot left.

　　Guess who the last apostle is?
