Chapter 243 The Grand Duke's Decision

Seeing his father's cold expression, Robert became anxious.

If Daniel was allowed to continue talking, maybe his father would expel him from Palomia just like Sean was expelled when he got agitated!
no!Hurry up and think of a way to remedy it!
Robert's brain was working rapidly, racking his brains to try to reverse the situation.

Seeing that Robert didn't speak, Daniel couldn't help but feel more proud, and kept telling the stupid things Robert did one by one.

Listening to Daniel's narration, Grand Duke Lane's face became darker and darker, and Earl Powell, who was standing beside him, also looked embarrassed.

"Okay, Daniel, you don't need to say any more." Grand Duke Ryan interrupted Daniel, walked up to Robert and looked down at him: "Robert, I am very disappointed in you, so..."

Robert knew that if he didn't defend himself now, everything would be over. Before Archduke Ryan pronounced the sentence, he said loudly:
"Father, before you punish me, I have something to say!"

"Stand up and speak!" Grand Duke Ryan turned and walked towards his throne.

If Robert sincerely repented and told the truth, the Grand Duke felt that he would forgive him once more. Anyway, he had already forgiven these three children countless times, and this time was no less important.

Robert stood up hurriedly, patted the dust on his knees, and said:
"Father, the young dragon really flew away on his own. You are free to investigate. If what I told is even half a lie, I am willing to commit suicide to apologize!"

Grand Duke Ryan and Powell Eagle looked at each other. Could it be that Robert was telling the truth?
Seeing that his father had begun to believe his own words, Robert's mood immediately eased a lot:

"As for me teaching Sean a lesson, I am now a candidate for the Grand Duke. He is just an ordinary baron. If he offends me, I think I can teach him a lesson. Besides, I didn't really hit him, I just scared him. "

Robert glared at Daniel: "Daniel, what about you? The last time Sean was assassinated, the entire entourage was wiped out. You sent these people! You actually want to kill your own brother, do you think you are still human?"

Daniel didn't expect Robert to know this, and his expression panicked for a moment.

The matter of "Assassinating Sean" was his top secret, and he had always done a good job keeping it secret. Could it be that there was a traitor under his command who sold this information to Robert?
But now is not the time to think about these, Daniel forced himself to calm down:
"Robert, do you have evidence? Sean is my own brother. Although our relationship is not very good, I will not kill him. Without evidence, you can't talk nonsense!"

Robert's mentality calmed down completely, and he said with a smile: "Of course I have evidence, and it's ironclad evidence!"

Then Robert turned to look at Grand Duke Ryan: "Father, give me an hour, and I will definitely bring the evidence."

The Grand Duke kept suppressing his anger at the beginning, but now he can't bear it anymore.

"Enough!" The Grand Duke angrily interrupted the conversation between the two.

These two idiots, don't you see that Powell is still standing by?He really regretted having these two sons.

"From now on, the two of you stop smearing each other, Robert, and now I will pass judgment on you." The Grand Duke said coldly.

It was the first time for Robert and Daniel to see their usually gentle father so furious, and they were too frightened to speak.

Archduke Ryan thought for a while and announced: "Robert, you must stay in Palomia during this period to reflect, and you are not allowed to leave home for a month!"

"But father." Robert was taken aback.

He had just formed an "unbreakable alliance" with the two marquises, and it was a good time to completely overwhelm Daniel!

Now my father forced me to retreat for a month, which is undoubtedly a death sentence for my plan!
God knows how much Daniel can do in one month!
"No but." The Grand Duke interrupted Robert and said coldly:
"Even if you are telling the truth, you still have to take responsibility for the young dragon flying away. After all, you have caused a huge loss to the family."

"Okay." Robert bowed his head.

The Archduke turned to look at Daniel, but this time his voice was obviously much softer:

"Daniel, you don't have to stay in the capital during this time, bring some gifts to Sean's territory to apologize to him, and your assassination of Sean is over."

"Okay." Daniel nodded.

Although he was not very willing to go to such a remote border, but since his father said so, he had no choice but to agree.

"Let Powell go with you on the way to Jorn City. After watching Sean, you don't need to go back to the capital, and go to Port Kapoor with Powell.

After arriving at Kapur Port, all the Navy of the Principality will be dispatched by you to guard against the attacks of the Anjou Navy and pirates on Rhodes Island.But you can't be self-willed, you have to listen to Powell. "The Grand Duke exhorted.

"Okay! I will definitely do it well!" Daniel was overjoyed.

Just now Daniel was very flustered when he saw that Robert had the evidence. Now it seems that his father not only does not intend to pursue it, but also entrusts himself with a heavy responsibility. Naturally, he is very happy.

Powell, who was standing next to him, understood why the Grand Duke asked him to come here when he heard this. He immediately took a step forward and said:

"I will do my best to assist His Highness Daniel!"

But Powell also frowned secretly. Although the navy stationed at Port Kapur is nominally the navy of the principality, after years of management and infiltration, this navy has been replaced from top to bottom by members of the Eagle family. It's almost becoming their family's private army.

At this point in time, the Grand Duke named Daniel to master the navy. Could it be that the Grand Duke discovered something?
"You guys go! Powell, stay here, I have something to tell you." Grand Duke Ryan sighed and said to the three.

"Okay, father."

Daniel and Robert saluted the Grand Duke respectfully and left the hall together.

It was basically the same as when he came to the hall, Daniel was still arrogant, and Robert was ashamed.

The two walked out one after the other.

After Robert and Daniel left, the Grand Duke turned around and sat on the throne, but at that moment, he seemed to be more than ten years older.

"You asked me to stay, is there anything else?" Powell asked cautiously.

The Grand Duke smiled bitterly: "There are indeed some small things. I just let you witness a little scandal in our family. I hope you don't mind!"

"Of course not." Powell hurriedly replied: "Cultivating two heirs at the same time will indeed lead to such a situation of fratricide. I have told you this before."

Seeing that Grand Duke Ryan's expression was a bit wrong, Powell hurriedly added:
"But there are many benefits to cultivating two heirs at the same time. For example, it can maintain competitiveness. Once one of the heirs dies, there will be alternatives."

"Okay." The Grand Duke waved his hand, stopping Powell from continuing.
