Realm of Power

"So, your family is bound to win the position of governor of the new Ruodun area this time!"

In a study room in the room, the sun shone lightly on the balcony near the window curtains, and a heavy voice said, this is a man about forty years old, wearing black straight clothes, bald, light black His skin gives people a hard feeling, and his eyebrows are as thick as two ink dots. As long as he sees them once, he leaves a deep impression on people. Although he is sitting on a chair, he can still tell that he is a tall man. , a muscular man with bright eyes, full of energy and vitality.

He is Presnaffa, the fiefdom lord of Byande County and the younger brother of Finance Minister Prescott. As the business leader of the Prescott family in the northwest region, Presnaffa served as the second I left Kyoto and came here when I was sixteen. I have been in the northwest region for twenty years.

Under his long-sleeved skills, Beyond County, which was just a small town at the beginning, has become an economic and cultural center affecting the entire northwest coast of the empire, with a population of more than 200,000. As one of the core members of the Prescott family, his opinions are of vital importance to the guests from Kyoto who come to visit him.

"I wasn't interested at first, but now there are some changes!" A handsome young man with flaxen hair sitting opposite him smiled, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said while looking at the scene outside the window.

"You also know that because of the failure of the empire's eastward strategy, His Majesty the Emperor's gaze is shifting to the southern part of the continent. As an important coastal area, the Norton area is the sea support point for His Majesty's latest southward strategy. Doubt, in this campaign, the empire suddenly broke the original framework , the establishment of the so-called Xinruodun Union Zone should be to prepare for the southward strategy, so the family is still worried. After all, the northwest of the empire is the family's traditional sphere of influence. If such an important position falls into the hands of other families, it will not be good for the family in the future. The stability of the northwest region is undoubtedly quite threatening!”

"Does your family already have a designated candidate?"

Presnaffa raised his head and asked curiously, "As far as I know, your family's focus has been on fighting the northwest Slavs, and a month ago, they occupied the Slavic central city of Minsk. The emperor His Majesty has allowed Lord Julius Fort, who is in charge of the strategy, to establish the Minsk District and serve as the first consul of the Minsk District at the same time. This is unprecedented in the history of the empire. Never before”

"Yeah, it's never happened before. This is what worries me the most!"

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "This is the purpose of my coming. If the family cannot send out a core member, then it can only find a peripheral member. But you also know that since the incident five years ago, the family has been silent." Five years. So this sudden decision makes me, an ignorant guy, very helpless."

"You mean a marriage with a foreign family?" Presnafa looked at the young man in front of him with surprise, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said with joy, "This will definitely shock the whole world. The big event on the northwest coast, the marriage of the Julius family, I'm afraid all the principalities will break their heads. Tell me, who do you like? I believe no one will refuse such a good thing.

It’s all right!

"The marriage of the Julius family, the consul of the New Norton area... Tsk tsk. If I hadn't had a daughter, I might not have let go of such an opportunity!" Presnaffa said with emotion on his face. He shook his head and talked about his prestige in the northwest region. The Pres family, whose main influence is in the southwest of the empire, can't keep up with them even if they flatter them.

"It would be easier if it were me. Women, as long as they don't look like monsters, it's just a deal anyway!" After hearing what Presnaff said was interesting, the young man said with bitterness in his mouth, spread his hands and said, "The problem is The marriage partner is not me, that’s why it’s so difficult!”

"Then you mean...that the marriage is between other members of your family?"

Presnaff was a little surprised and suppressed the smile on his face. He knew that although the Julius family was a powerful family in the empire, it was not very prosperous. In addition, the children of the family mainly fought in the bitter cold northwest. The real There are not many core personnel,

After mentally reviewing all the current marriageable members of the Julius family, Presnaff suddenly stood up from his seat and stared at the young man in front of him with bulging eyes, as if he had seen a ghost. He said with trembling words, "It can't be someone who was involved in the accident five years ago! Her Royal Highness Princess Julius Maureen!"

"Unfortunately, you are right!" The young man shrugged helplessly.

"Does His Majesty the Emperor know?" Presnaffa asked with a pale face, pacing back and forth uneasily in front of the window sill, looking very nervous. It's no wonder he is like this. The person who is going to marry this time has created a problem in the empire. It was a heinous case, and although the final punishment put the matter to rest, it would be a different matter if one of the victims changed from an ambitious prince to an emperor who controlled everything.

"His Majesty the Emperor is not a person who holds grudges very much, but that doesn't mean that he can't remember the hatred even if he sees it every day!" The young man sighed deeply, looked out the window with deep eyes, and said slowly, "Five years of grounding." It's almost time, and the family doesn't dare to take such a risk and let her stay in Kyoto! Everyone has a terrible headache and finally thinks about it, it's better to marry away. "

The young man turned his head and saw Presnaffa who was leaning against the wall and quietly moving towards the door, preparing to apply oil on the soles of his feet. He quickly shouted, "What are you running for? Isn't it just to introduce a target? Such a generous condition, isn't it already?" Do people dare to accept it?"

"If we knew that the person we were marrying was Her Royal Highness Princess Julius Maureen, no one would dare to accept it even if we searched the entire northwest region!"

Presnaff turned around with an ugly expression and said in a trembling voice

"You also know how great the impact that incident had on His Majesty the Emperor. Until now, there is no crown prince in the empire. Every time he mentions this matter, His Majesty's face looks like he wants to chop someone. At the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor once said, who dares? If he marries the princess, he will kill his whole family! Don’t even think about it within the empire!”

"How about leaving her to the Slavs in the northwest?" The young man touched his chin with a deep expression, and then shook his head. "No, the Slavs know her, and they will probably kill her if they catch her. After all, she is also the first in the family." It’s such a pity for someone who was awarded the title of princess to die like this! “To be continued.
