Realm of Power

"Kingmaker!" Wenner Taner, who was slumped on the ground, overheard the old servant's words. His eyes suddenly bulged, and he pointed at the fat man with a pale face. The Wenner family had spent a lot of money to investigate the Douai family. Information about the true red light. I accidentally got information about the Ring of the Kingmaker. At that time, the incident involving the eldest daughter of the family caused quite a stir within the family. Naturally, it was not hidden from the Wenner family’s spies. With the help of secret information, it was natural to deduce some of the secrets.

The fat man winked at Hu Keqili and said, "Plop!" A blood arrow poured out from the neck of Wenner Taner who looked suspicious, and after all this was done, Hu Keqili dragged the two corpses out of the hall. ; Two pools of bright red blood seem to tell the owner's sorrow,

The old Duke stood there blankly, like a soulless puppet, looking thoughtfully into the fat man's eyes with his deep eyes. As if he wanted to see something, after a while, he sat down helplessly, his haggard face was drooped, only his eyes still had a trace of sparkle.

"Alan Steen, you go down first." The old Duke waved his hand to the granddaughter beside him. The questions that followed were too cruel. The old man didn't want Ellenstine to be exposed to these dark things. Ellenstine should live in the sun, and she did not belong to the darkness. The hall was very quiet, but something invisible and intangible was lingering, oppressing people and making them breathless.

"Did you kill him?" The old Duke's voice was very low, almost as if it was squeezed out of his throat. The old voice echoed in the hall, and his eyes as bright as fire stared at the fat man, with hesitation and pain in his eyes. Struggling, his fingers clenched on the wooden bench, making a slight creaking sound.

The atmosphere in the hall was very strange, and the old servant seemed to hear something from the old master's strange words. His body shook slightly, and he stared at the fat man with cold eyes.

The fat man was silent. He clearly heard what the old Duke meant. The fat man wanted to admit it, but in front of a father, he admitted that he had killed his son. What kind of cruel thing was that? Even a murderer like the fat man was so cruel. Ma’s character also felt heavy pressure coming over her like a mountain.

Fatty had been avoiding this moment, but he didn't expect to escape in the end! The old Duke seemed to see the struggle in the fat man's heart, and asked in a low voice, "He is very strong. Not only me, but also most of the Kyoto nobles think he will become the new King of Vekia, but he is in your hands." Falling from the sky like a meteor! Can you tell me what defeated him in the end? Even if it was the request of a father who lost his son!"

"He was defeated by the Samor infantry crossbow!" The fat man nodded hesitantly at the end, and said in a deep voice, "He is very strong, but it is a pity that his fate is destined not to become a king! It was not me who defeated him, but In this era, everyone has his own destiny. It is not me who defeats him but his destiny and his era!

"Era?" The old Duke frowned slightly. He chewed the fat man's novel explanation carefully. His eyes suddenly burst out with a divine light and looked at the fat man. "Although this explanation is far-fetched, it is the best explanation! What about you?" ? What is your era? "The old Duke's heavy face raised slightly, his bright eyes were like stars in the dark night. It's hard to believe that such a pair of bright eyes could be an old man.

"My era is the entire Ilonpa continent!" the fat man said in an excited voice. "I want to make Wikiia the most powerful kingdom on the continent. Maybe one day, I will also go with my own era. But I don't Regret, at least I tried hard! I used my own efforts to leave my own mark on this era!”

The fat man paused and said seriously, "But before that, I want to ask the Duke for a favor! As long as the Duke is willing to agree to my request, I can guarantee that the Duai family will be even more glorious than it is now!"

"Oh. Old Duke Duai looked surprised and raised his voice a little. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him would have such great ambitions. His bright eyes paused on the fat man's face, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "My grandson. "The noble Marquis of Falcon, Dustin, except for the title of duke that may be taken away by the royal family at any time, there should be nothing in the Douai family that can arouse your interest."

"Your Majesty the Duke is so wise!" The fat man's eyes showed surprise. He didn't expect that his intentions had been guessed before he opened his mouth. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but Duke Duai across from him didn't answer. Instead, he waved his hand to the fat man and said solemnly, "I need some time to think about this matter. I will get back to you within three days at the latest!"

"Well, in that case, I will wait for the news from the Duke." The fat man finally let go of the idea when he saw that Duke Duai did not refuse directly. I stood up and walked out when suddenly I was called by Duke Douai.

"I heard that the Jones family in the north is related to you by marriage. Duke Duai asked casually. The fat man nodded indifferently and responded, "Yes, the marriage was agreed in Kyoto last November." .

"Last November?" The old Duke's face was a bit ugly, which made Fatty Wang feel excited again. He secretly cursed himself for being confused. Wasn't last November a war with the nobles and private armies? He brought it up now. , is like adding salt to the wound, making the newly eased relationship tense again.

"Don't go back yet!" After a while, the old Duke Duai finally spoke again. "Recently, there are always some people who like to cause trouble for the Duai family. Although Allensteen is the heir of the family. But now we don’t even have any guides or escort knights, so you should take on this responsibility first! The old Duke looked at the fat man with a stern look and said, "This year's hunting season is the 16th-year-old coming-of-age ceremony for Alan Sting. If anything happens to Alan Sting during this period, our cooperation will be cancelled!" "

"Your Majesty the Duke, has he agreed?" The fat man heard the tone from Duke Douai's tone, and nodded quickly with a delighted expression on his face. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty the Duke, I have brought hundreds of guards this time. No matter who it is, as long as If someone threatens Miss Ellensten's safety, they will not hesitate "Kill him!" "Don't always chop and kill!" Duke Duai said with a gentle expression, "I can't control you in other places, but during this time in Kyoto, as the heir of my Duai family, you must follow the necessary etiquette." We still need to interact with basic nobles, otherwise other families will laugh at us! "

"Oh" Fatty responded with a miserable look on his face. Noble banquets and etiquette were the things Fatty hated the most. Whenever he thought of the complicated etiquette training, Fatty felt like his head was spinning.

The fat man walked out of the hall of the mansion. The old servant followed him from behind and took the fat man to the backyard of the mansion. The accompanying Samor Guards Cavalry were placed in the family's knight residence. The Douai family once had a private army and is now stationed in There are hundreds of people, but it’s not too cramped

The shadow of the street outside the residence of the Duke of Douai. A carriage parked there quietly. A pair of fierce eyes stared at the Duke of Douai's mansion.

When Tiernarant saw the fat man entering the Duai family mansion, his eyes almost burst into flames, but the hundreds of cavalry guards at the door prevented him from getting too close, so he could only watch from a distance. After a while, Tiernalan ordered the coachman with a gloomy face, "Let's go to Lord Wenner's mansion!"
