Chapter 68 Patrick’s Dilemma

Vinelle comes from the Patrick family.

The ancestors of the Patrick family were the founding fathers of the Barak Kingdom. Not only did they have great military exploits, they were also deeply trusted by the king.

But later, due to the upright temperament of each patriarch, more and more people were offended, causing the Patrick family to be ostracized by the entire Barak Kingdom's aristocratic circle.

Since two hundred years ago, they have been trapped in the Dukedom of Patrick, relying on selling ore to support their family's livelihood.

The founding king of the Balak Kingdom valued the ancestors of the Patrick family very highly. The fiefdom assigned to Patrick's ancestors was very rich. There were many types of mineral resources in the fiefdom, including even expensive ones that could be used to make soul guides. Soul Stone Mine.

Many years have passed and the mineral resources in the Duchy of Patrick are still abundant.

But as the strength of the Patrick family gradually weakened, more and more people coveted the Dukedom of Patrick.

A few days ago, the old Duke suddenly fell seriously ill and died.

Vinyl's father accidentally disappeared on his way back to the Dukedom of Patrick from overseas to inherit the title of Duke.

The only direct bloodline of Patrick who is qualified to inherit the title of Duke is Vinelle.

Duke Patrick's position is vacant.

According to the laws of the Kingdom of Barak,

If the heir designated by the previous duke is unable to inherit the title of duke, and the previous duke has lost the ability to appoint a new heir, the duke family can conduct an internal election within one month to elect a new heir.

However, the new heir selected through this method must be recognized by at least three duke families and prove to the kingdom that he has the ability to lead the family to establish a foothold in the kingdom under special circumstances.

If a new heir cannot be elected within a month, it means that the ducal family has declined.

The kingdom will pay a large sum of gold soul coins to help the Duke family tide over the difficulties, but will take back the fiefdom and reduce the family's Duke title to a Marquis title.

Viniel learned through letters that the family had tried its best to build relationships, but had only received the support of one ducal family, leaving two ducal families missing.

If the support of the two ducal families cannot be won as soon as possible, the Patrick family will lose their dukedom and the duchy where they have lived for generations.

Vinelle was distraught.

She hopes to relieve some pressure on her family through herself.

She knew that the four generals of Nar City all came from wealthy families in the Tiandou Empire, and the families behind them all had considerable influence on the aristocratic circle of the Barak Kingdom. If she could get their help, she might be able to convince the Barak Kingdom to The other dukes came to the aid of the Patrick family.

"As far as I know, you don't seem to be among the four generals in Nar City." Wenille said cautiously.

Dam shook his wine glass. "Yes, I am only General Sorto's lieutenant, but I can help the Patrick family get out of trouble more than General Sorto."

"General Dam, I hope to get your help." Venelle said seriously.

"General Dam, if you can convince Duke Suoyi to support me as the new Duke Patrick, the Suoyi family will not only gain the friendship of the Patrick family forever, but also obtain all the iron ore in the Dukedom of Patrick. A hundred-year business license." Wenille said with her chest raised.

Dam remained silent.

Vinyl waited nervously for his reply.

Dam suddenly raised his head and stared at her and said, "I have met your father."

Wei Nier was slightly startled.

"At an aristocratic cocktail party, he knocked over my table and soiled my favorite dress with inferior fruit wine." Dam said slowly.

Many years ago, when Dam and Vinelle's fathers were teenagers, they had a conflict at a drinking party.

In full view of the public, the upright Patrick kicked over Dam's table, put the barrel of fruit wine on Dam's head, then kicked him several times, and finally walked away. Let him be disgraced in the aristocratic circle.

This directly led him to give up his life of fine clothes and fine food, leave the Kingdom of Barak, and embark on the road of military service.

Dam has always held a grudge for what happened back then, but he has never been able to find an opportunity for revenge.
