Chapter 196

Hanover Province, in the study of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

All the guards retreated, and in the huge room, only the Grand Duke of Smolwa and his son Marquis Marco sat opposite each other.

"Father, there is news from the west."

Marquis Marco said while presenting a letter to his father with both hands.

Needless to say, the west side he mentioned, of course, refers to the operation of the Princess Mission to suppress bandits that is hotly discussed in the city.

The Grand Duke Smolwa reached out to take the letter and asked casually, "How did it turn out?"

Marquis Marco said excitedly: "Sure enough, as my father expected, the troops under the princess' command won a complete victory. In this battle, more than 700 noble private soldiers pretending to be bandits were killed and more than 1000 were captured. A sudden death!"

The hand of the Grand Duke who was about to open the letter froze in the air, and there was no movement for a long time.

After a long time, he finally opened the letter and said with a long sigh: "I only expected Her Royal Highness to win, but I didn't expect her to win so cleanly. This battle was really, really..."

He said several "too" characters one after another, but found that he couldn't find a suitable word to describe such a brilliant victory.

Three hundred and eight times, the six times difference in strength can be called a huge disparity.It is even more miraculous that none of the soldiers who participated in the war was killed, like a fairy tale.

Of course, there is an element of luck in this, and the full-body armor on the soldiers must have something mysterious.But it is undeniable that this rookie team, which was just formed 6 months ago, now has a heavy weight that people have to pay attention to.

As the two key figures in the transformation and evolution of this rookie team, Anthony and Tang Feng's leadership ability has also been initially proved.

Marquis Marco knew that in his father's mind, the two of them added another weight to Her Royal Highness and the Glorious Empire.

"Although there were quite a few changes in the course of the battle, it went smoothly on the whole. Her Royal Highness's warriors have been firmly controlling the situation. From the beginning to the end, the bandits failed to find any chance to turn the tables."

Marquis Marco continued to explain the battle, and Duke Smolwa finally opened the battle report in his hand.

"The war finally ended with the victory of the Princess Mission. But after all the dust settled, the bandit leader who voluntarily surrendered unexpectedly assassinated Princess Yalena!"

Marquis Marco stopped here.But he saw that his father was as calm as ever, neither nervous nor panicked, as if the assassin was just an insignificant passer-by.Just asked lightly:
"and then?"

Marquis Mark no longer kept his secrets, and told the whole story in detail.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Father, are you so sure that Princess Yalena will be safe?"

The Grand Duke of Smolwa put down the piece of paper in his hand, and said with a calm smile: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yalena has two top-level powerhouses. We nobles just send someone to assassinate them. Isn't that a dream? Unless they are careless, There is a major loophole in the protective measures. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to hurt Her Highness the Princess."

Marquis Marco was not convinced.In other words, since his father expressed great interest in the princess and her party, he has always held a critical attitude.

"I know my father admires and admires Anthony very much, but tigers doze off sometimes, and if they do their calculations with their minds or their minds, this assassination may not be without the possibility of success."

The Grand Duke Smolwa glanced at his son indifferently, but did not argue with him.

"If Her Royal Highness is really stabbed to death, then there is nothing to say. We just follow the wishes of those nobles and raise the flag to rebel. Didn't you also say that the chances of winning for my glorious empire are really not high."

Marquis Marco stared blankly at his father, thinking that this was too much of a joke.Anyway, it is also a major event related to the lives of tens of millions of people in a large province.

Duke Smolwa was unwilling to dwell on this issue, and quickly jumped to the next point.

"Although the assassination was not successful, the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes has been achieved. This series of poisonous tricks is quite skillful!"

The Grand Duke admired in a low voice, but Marco Marquis was a little puzzled.

"It's impossible for Princess Yalena not to notice such an obvious framing, right? Although there are still doubts, self-declaration of family background is really a big failure. The Charlton family seems to be the most suspicious, but after thinking about it, it is actually Most unlikely."

"What if the person behind the scenes wants you to think so?"

The Grand Duke asked Marquis Marco in a rhetorical question.

"But when I said he was brilliant, I didn't mean this. Do you remember why our Grand Duke's Mansion didn't send people to follow?"

"Remember!"

Speaking of this, Marquis Marco sincerely admired his father.

"Fortunately, my father has a precise vision and far-reaching plans. Otherwise, the situation of our Grand Duke's Mansion will be embarrassing."

It is said that ginger is old and hot, and Marquis Marco has a deep understanding of it.

If they were present at that time, even if they sent only an errand to deliver the news, they still represented the Grand Duke's Mansion.In the matter of Her Royal Highness being assassinated, they must be pushed to the forefront, representing all nobles and the entire province of Hanover to negotiate with Princess Yalena.

In this way, the Grand Duke's Mansion can be regarded as taking on trouble.On the one hand, they need to investigate among all nobles, which will inevitably offend all nobles in the province.On the other hand, the assassination of His Royal Highness the Princess of the Empire is not a trivial matter, and the Grand Duke's Palace must give a satisfactory answer without any ambiguity.

When there is no evidence of death and all clues have been cut off, it is extremely difficult to hunt down the mastermind behind the scenes.Not to mention not wanting to offend others and satisfy everyone.Marquis Marco felt his brain hurt when he thought about it.

However, Duke Smolwa's simple words made the Grand Duke's Palace stay out of the matter safely, and let the strong wind blow outside, but I didn't touch a single leaf.

"In your opinion, the self-reporting of the bandit leader's family name before his death is a big failure. But my opinion is exactly the opposite: this is a stroke of genius, a touch of finishing touch!"

The Grand Duke supported the table with one hand, stood up, and paced back and forth in the study.

"Don't you think this situation is similar to our response? It's just that our purpose is to get out of the matter, but the people behind the scenes want just the opposite. Think about it, if there is no death cry of the leader , and without the tattoos on their backs, how would things go?"

Marco lowered his head and thought, but couldn't figure it out for a moment.

The Grand Duke did not wait for him to answer, but went on talking.

"Unless conclusive evidence can be found, the assassination incident this time can only be nothing but thunder and rain. Because under the current situation of the empire, it is impossible for Princess Yalina to have a relationship with the nobles of the entire Hanover province. In contrast, they don't have much time to spend on it. It's their best choice to temporarily suppress the matter and settle accounts slowly later."

"And the brilliance of the black hand behind the scenes is that through the shout of the bandit leader, he set a target for Her Highness the Princess. Princess Yalena must be severely punished for the Charlton family's plot to assassinate, otherwise the majesty of the royal family will not be maintained, and the situation will worsen." The hearts of the people are turbulent. However, if the Charlton family is convicted of such an obvious framing, not only the Charlton family will not accept it, but other nobles will not agree. They want to clear the suspicion for the Charlton family, get rid of To get rid of the guilt, it is necessary to track down the real mastermind behind the scenes. How easy is this?"

"In this way, Princess Yalina is caught in a dilemma. Even if you want to let go of this assassination or temporarily suppress it, it becomes impossible to ignore the ambiguous matter."

"So, the person behind the scenes played it very beautifully. This is a series of poisonous plots. From the moment the bandit leader released the hidden weapon, Princess Yalina and all the nobles were involved. Regardless of whether the assassination was successful or not, The hostility and confrontation between the royal family represented by Princess Yalina and most of the nobles in our province of Hanover is inevitable."

Marquis Marco listened quietly to his father's analysis of the situation, while silently deducing the possible development of the matter in his heart.

As the Grand Duke said, this is a dilemma, and it can even be said to be a deadlock.According to Princess Yalena's original intention, she certainly does not want to conflict with the entire noble class of Hanover.However, at this delicate moment, for the majesty and strength of the royal family, it is impossible for her to easily compromise and make concessions.

What's more troublesome is that, facing such a difficult and difficult problem, there is not much time left for Princess Yalina to solve it.

You know, the princess has a high-end force that cannot be ignored.In addition to the 300-man army that has been ignored by people, it has now demonstrated its powerful combat power.There is also Anthony and Tang Feng's ability to command, train, and command battles that they are slowly gaining recognition for.

At a time when the war situation in the empire was extremely tense, this mission, whose gold content was about to break through the sky, came to the province of Hanover not far away. No matter whether everyone guessed their purpose or not, at least one thing is certain: in this In the northernmost province of the empire, there are very important and urgent matters that need to be resolved by Princess Yalina and her team.

Regardless of the urgent military and national affairs, but because of a momentary conflict of spirits, he carried out some bandit suppression operations, and now he has finally become popular.

Marquis Marco admitted that the princess mission group, regardless of gender, are all rare talents, but they are still too young after all.Young people are easily impulsive, and when they are emotional, they can ignore everything.

Of course, there are also some people in the mission who can be regarded as highly respected.It's a pity that Master Juggernaut is obsessed with swordsmanship and is determined to forge ahead, and he is not a prudent and steady person.In addition, he is basically ignorant, just like the shadow of Princess Yalina, protecting her safety at all times.When the young man wanted to mess around, he just watched from the side.

Now that things have become like this, how will it end next?

Marquis Marco can imagine how desperate and helpless Her Royal Highness Princess Yalena is today.

"Father, if Princess Yalena can't pass this hurdle, then your plan will come to naught?"

It suddenly occurred to Marquis Mark that his father was inclined towards the royal family.Although this is contrary to his own opinion, he is still more willing to believe in his father's judgment, and he is also anxious for his father.

Grand Duke Smolwa waved his hand lightly, turned and walked to the window, looking into the distance.

Over there is the direction of the imperial capital.

"The change of dynasties, like the ebb and flow of the tide, is a very normal thing. No dynasty is eternal. It has not been in the past, and it will not be in the present and in the future. The glorious empire has its own reasons for the catastrophe it has today. Our Majesty the King, His Royal Highness Princess Yalena, and all members of the royal family and forces close to the royal family are all working hard to keep this empire from falling, and they are also paying off the debts for the wrong choices they made in the past."

The Grand Duke stretched out his hand suddenly, and slammed the window shut, ruthlessly isolating the boundless scenery.

"As for us, we, the courtiers of the empire in name in the province of Hanover, have no good reason to sacrifice our lives for them and pay for their mistakes! If our respected princess cannot show enough strength to impress me, then I will The Grand Duke's Mansion will not take the entire family's wealth and life because of the so-called righteousness of the monarch and ministers."

The words of the Grand Duke Smolwa were cold and ruthless, both in tone and in the content of the words, there was a slight chill in them.

Marquis Marco looked at his father with a complicated look in his eyes.

This is his father, the supreme controller of the Hanover Province, the most mature and outstanding helm of the family.

Not fettered by fame, nor swayed by personal emotional preferences.Long-term vision and precise judgment.Only identify the most suitable and beneficial path and choice for the family.

Marquis Marco deeply understands that he is still a long, long way from becoming a qualified patriarch.
