My name is Ren

Chapter 594 Chapter [-] Some people are like moths, knowing that they will die if they jump into the fire, but they will never give up

Standing by the window of the tower and looking at the empty streets in the city, Pelagos had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

It's all about arrogance.

The northern nobles were the first group of heroes who followed Orlando I to found the country, and the Orlando Empire was not so big at first.After Emperor Orlando I raised the banner to overthrow the Holy Empire in the North, the nobles of the North responded one after another. It can be said that almost all of the top ten golden nobles in the empire were from the North.In the ensuing war, Emperor Orlando I gradually moved south and east, and finally completed the feat of ant swallowing a dragon, and established the Orlando Empire in one fell swoop, which had lasted for 370 years.

After the founding of the country, Emperor Orlando I gave the nobles of the Northland many privileges and benefits. On the one hand, the nobles of the Northland followed him to change their banners and made a lot of sacrifices. strength, to deter the nobles in the south and east.So from the very beginning, the "style" of the nobles in the Northland was so different. In the process of family inheritance from generation to generation, the nobles seem to have firmly engraved this honor in their hearts.

In the hearts of Pelagos, Isaac and even most of the northern nobles, their relationship with the royal family is not simply a relationship between monarchs and ministers. They even assisted the royal family to seize the world and maintain the operation of the empire to this day. Great hero.With this understanding, the attitude of the northern nobles towards the royal family has gradually undergone subtle changes.

Just like how many nobles would say when reminiscing about the past during gatherings, without their ancestors, there would be no Orlando Empire, let alone the current royal family-the Orlando family.They have created a new era, and they are also the well-deserved masters of this era.

The inheritance and continuation from generation to generation have created the arrogance of the northern nobles, and made them lose their respect for the royal family in their hearts. No matter what they do, they will think that the royal family owes them.

After all, there is only one emperor in an empire, and their ancestors tried their best and even sacrificed a huge price to surrender the empire, so what if they are a little out of line?During the civil strife during the reigns of Emperor Orlando II and Emperor Orlando V, the northern nobles also paid a lot to help the Orlando family suppress those rebellions.

It is undeniable that some of the suppressed rebel nobles were nobles from the Northland, but they were a minority after all, and those people paid a heavy price.

The constant rewards also subtly changed the mentality of the northern nobles. The new batch of nobles who grew up in this special environment and an environment full of unbalanced psychology took pleasure in challenging the royal family.

In fact, deep in the hearts of these people, there are things that they are not aware of. Their purpose of confronting and provoking the royal family is not simply to keep warm, but to gain more power, and Like their ancestors, they attempted to subvert the imperial power on a certain level!

Now, it's their turn to pay for their actions.

"What did the empress say?" Pylargos' chief of staff casually hung the windbreaker on the shelf. The refined dress made him look like a successful person.Of course, the fact is true. Even if Pelagos has no future at this time, he is still the marquis of the empire, and he is still a great nobleman, and he is the chief of staff of this great man.

The relationship between the chief of staff and the master is very close, and it can be said that to a certain extent, he is closer than a brother. Pelagos has never hidden anything from this chief of staff, and has always said what he said.

Pelagos turned around, walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down heavily, and the sofa slid back a little because of this. He leaned on the sofa a little dejectedly, raised his head and closed his eyes, and sighed, "The Queen I have agreed to our request, in order to prevent some people from interfering with this matter, please send Kant away as soon as possible." During this period of time, Pelagos felt that he was stupid, especially in the case of Prince Kant. The chief of staff wondered if there was some unknown secret behind this incident, but he was fooled by himself.

Judging from the current situation, if there is no such thing as Prince Kant, then he can admit defeat, even if he attacks other nobles, and seems to be attacking the imperial capital, but this can be done in private battles between nobles. to cover up.After he admits defeat, he may be deposed, but this is not important, he only needs to pay a considerable price, he is still a nobleman of the empire, and is still the leader of the nobles of the Northland.

But since he contacted Prince Kant, the nature of the matter has changed dramatically. All the previous actions can be covered up in other ways, but now he just wants to subvert the rule of the royal family, and he can't even find an excuse .

At the beginning, he was really too blind. After being stimulated by Isaac, no one would have thought that Isaac, who hit from the north to the hinterland of the empire in one breath, would be wiped out in the satellite city in one breath.Pelagos couldn't think of it, nor could the nobles of the Northland, and even those who watched the fun couldn't think of it.

The situation was reversed in an instant, and Pelagos, who seemed to be able to wrestle with Isaac, suddenly became embarrassed.The offense was meaningless, and Isaac lost, not to mention that there was Ren in front of him at the time.Retreating means maintaining the current situation. With the Northern Expedition, many northern nobles either died in battle or couldn't bear to surrender.

It can be said that Pelagos dug himself, and the pit was extremely deep.

Thinking back, he shouldn't have escaped from the imperial capital, even if the empress caught him, so what?It was nothing more than smuggling some things to the ice field, and it was nothing more than privately forging some controlled weapons.It is impossible for him, the leader of an aristocratic group and a great aristocrat of the empire, to fall down so easily.Even if he admits it, the nobles who are attached to him will not agree.

In the end, it was nothing more than cutting the title, a short-term ban, and then another punishment and it was over.

It's all my fault, I don't care about anything in a panic, I doubt my life, why am I so stupid?

But think about it in another way, given the environment at the time and the arrogance he still retained, might he choose to be caught without a fight and become a joke of the aristocratic class?Impossible, at that time, even if he knew that there was nothing left, he might face death if he took a step forward, he would not submit to the will of the royal family, he would only rely on the inertia of thinking to resist.

He suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the chief of staff, "By the way, that appointment... is Kant's staff, kill him."

Even if Pelagos has reached the end of the road, before he dies, he still has his own identity, status and majesty.A small staff member calculated himself several times, and he could tolerate it when he had no big differences with Prince Kant before. After all, he was concerned about Prince Kant's face and more things.But now that he decided to give up Prince Kant, there was no need for this little staff member to continue living.

A mouse runs to the lion's territory to urinate, and the lion will not waste its energy to catch it and kill it for the little mouse, but when the lion turns into a cat, then the situation is different.

The chief of staff nodded, and casually picked up the windbreaker and put it on his left forearm, "I'll do it now."

Pelagos looked at the doors that were slowly closing, and shook his head with a dumbfounded smile.

Pelagos planned to give up Prince Kant, and Prince Kant realized something, he walked back and forth in the room anxiously, and tried to go out through the gate several times, but was stopped by the guards sent by Pelagos up.He roared loudly to show his identity as a prince, but for these guards who dared to rebel, even if you are the emperor, it doesn't matter, let alone you are just a prince.

"What should we do now?" Prince Kant looked up at Joseph anxiously, the worry in his eyes made him look helpless.There is indeed nothing lacking in living here, and he can enjoy everything that his status can enjoy. No matter what it is, as long as he asks, Pelagos will arrange to send someone or something.But it is absolutely impossible to leave this house.

Joseph was smoking a pipe. He used to like to smoke cigarettes, but recently he found that pipes are still suitable for him.When he holds a heavy pipe, his heart will become more peaceful.Facing the problem of Prince Kant, Joseph has no good solution.He is not a powerful professional, he is just an old man who likes to use his brain, maybe he has some ambitions, some desires, in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary old man.

In fact, he had already noticed something was wrong. Originally, there were only a dozen or so guards outside the house staring at him uninterruptedly, but since a few days ago, there were more than 20 more guards around.Whether it's the windows, the doors, or even the eaves extending from the second floor, there are people on duty.And this was also the reason why Prince Kant was anxious. Both of them realized in their hearts that something must have changed.

And this change may cost them something.

After a long time, Joseph took down the pipe and knocked it down on the armrest.The white and black ash fell on the ground, and he took some out from the tobacco box in his arms, added some spices and stuffed them into the hopper of the pipe.

"The only thing we can do now is to wait. We can't get in touch with people and things outside, and the people that Pelagos arranged here can't buy them off. We can't do anything but wait." Joseph took out a scythe and lit it After smoking on the trough of the pipe, he took a deep breath, and the flame rushed down fiercely, igniting the shredded tobacco in the trough. "The best situation now is that Pelagos intends to defect, no matter where he flees, we are free."

Prince Kant slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth, raised his eyebrows, and his slightly messy hair made him not have any picture that a prince should have. "Then what is the worst?"

Joseph shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "It's nothing more than death."

Yes, nothing but death.When Joseph participated in such a game, he had already realized his end, and there would be no better end.Even if he fulfilled everything Ryan expected and left here alive, the best ending would be that Ryan sent him to a place where there were almost no people inhabited.There are so many things he knows, participated in, and accomplished by himself, even he himself feels that it would be incredible if he could survive.

But he doesn't regret it very much. Everyone's pursuit is different. Some people pursue wealth, some people pursue power, but at his age and experience, what he pursues is a kind of enjoyment.Enjoy history going in an unknown direction in your own hands, and enjoy the thrill of being a high-level pawn when you change the situation of the empire.

Of course, if you can survive, it's also very good.

Prince Kant's face turned pale, and he sat down leaning on the armrest of the chair, his legs were a little weak, "Is there no better choice?"

"A better choice?" Joseph's smile was a bit strange. Just as he was about to say something, the front door downstairs was suddenly pushed open with a bang, followed by footsteps gradually walking down the stairs to the front of the study.

The next moment, the door of the study room was opened.

Joseph knew the person who came in, Pelagos' chief of staff, he and Prince Kant both stood up.

"Meet you again, Mr. Joseph." Pelagos' chief of staff was very polite. He bowed slightly to greet Prince Kant, but kept his eyes on Joseph. "Your intelligence is impressive. If I remember correctly, it was you who created the current situation from the beginning, didn't you?"

Joseph laughed. He was puffing out smoke with a pipe in his mouth. He smiled proudly and proudly, "That's right, that's right."

The chief of staff pursed his lips and hesitated, then nodded, "It seems that you also know what will happen if you do this, but you still do it."

"Yes, I'm proud of what I do."

The chief of staff sighed, "That's right." He pointed to Joseph and said to the soldiers behind him, "Catch him."

The wolf-like soldiers rushed forward and pressed Joseph on the table, and his beloved pipe fell to the ground, sparks splashed everywhere.He wanted to maintain his demeanor, but these soldiers didn't give him a chance at all, leaving him with a distorted smile on his face.

He didn't resist or struggle. When the shackles locked his hands tightly behind his back, and a steel ring with a chain was put on his neck, he suddenly laughed, "I see, you have already There's nowhere to go."

What happens when a person has nowhere to go?
Some people choose to open up a new road, while some people choose to change their own road in other ways.

It could be a deal, it could be a compromise, or it could be an outright give.
