Lord of Lowland

Chapter 233 Persuasion and Temptation

After hearing Ofilina's words, Cecil's expression changed. The Earl belonged to Prince Rex's faction. Because of his special relationship with Duke Fatam, it was almost impossible for Earl Kasikud to choose his position. Yes, Duke Fatam is the teacher of the eldest prince. His bond with Prince Rex is so deep that he can hardly choose a camp. He can only go to the dark side. If Rex fails in his bid for the throne, Fata will There is almost no doubt that Duke M will meet a very tragic end.

"And what are you talking about?" Cecil said.

"It's not that my father hasn't considered changing the family, but my elder brother is already the heir to the Duke of Fatam's family, so it's basically difficult for our family to jump into the other side's camp. Even if we jump over, we won't be taken seriously at all, but Cecil, you are different. You and my father are only in a subordinate relationship, and there is no deep bond. If you want to switch camps, I think there are many dukes and earls in Prince Lucas' camp who are willing to promote You can be said to have a lot of money." Ophelina said, with a hint of sadness.

"What do you mean by that? Let me pick a car? Go to the second prince's camp? Isn't that going to betray your father?" Cecil looked at Ophelina very strangely, not knowing what she wanted.

"Don't forget, I am a good sister of Princess Freya of the Temple of Life, and she supports her second brother, so after Prince Lucas succeeds to the throne, if I have meritorious service, my status in the Temple of Life will be restored. If you are promoted, you can even dance sleeves among the nobles." Ofelina said proudly. "As for my father, he already felt that something was going wrong, so not only did he not mind my relationship with Princess Freya, he even encouraged it. After all, if the first prince loses, my father wants to take over from the second prince. Line, rely on me." When Ophelina said, the look on her face became more and more interesting.

"It seems that Earl Kasikud is also a very cunning character. Since his eldest son can only stand on the side of the Duke of Fatam to follow the eldest prince, he let his daughter buy a lot by the side of the second prince. A sum, so that no matter who wins, he has people on both sides, and he can laugh at the situation. In fact, many people in history have such wisdom, but it is a pity that few people have such an opportunity. Earl can do this, He is also not an easy character.

So what should I do?Do you rely on the second prince?Cecil didn't even think about it. Although the eldest prince is weak for the time being, it's not that he has no chance, and the weaker the first prince is, the more valuable his support may be. On the contrary, he doesn't pay much attention to himself, and his chances of being famous beside the second prince are much less.

As for what to do if you lose? Cecil didn't think about it. Maybe he was very sad if he lost, but no matter how sad he was, the next task he had to go into the abyss alone was even more difficult. If he succeeded in going into the abyss alone after ten days , then the relationship between myself and the God of Dawn will naturally go to a higher level, then even if the second prince succeeds to the throne, I am not afraid of his harm too deeply. If I can escape from the hands of the abyss lord, then I will How can you still be afraid of a human prince and king?If you die in the abyss ten days later, then you don't need to say anything. Everyone is dead, so what's the use of talking about anything else?
Thinking of this, Cecil smiled and said to Ophelia: "Thank you for your kindness, but in the end I am your father's subordinate, not your subordinate. Your father's position is my position, even if You are his daughter, and you cannot make me betray him, so if he is on the side of Prince Rex, I will never side with Prince Lucas and be hostile to him."

Ofelina looked at Cecil in disbelief: "I was a little surprised by the choice of the baron. I thought you would join Prince Lucas' team without hesitation, because since I knew you, I always thought you were a calm and rational person, but I didn’t expect you to make such a choice, which really surprised me.” Ofelina showed some surprised looks, obviously Cecil’s choice was out of his expected.

Seeing Ophelina's surprised look, Cecil felt secretly refreshed, but he didn't care too much, and replied: "For a lord, calmness and reason are important, but sometimes you dare to take risks and fight to the death. It is very likely that there will be huge gains. Prince Rex's strength is indeed weaker, but relatively speaking, if he can win, it is obvious that I will get more. Sometimes, I am willing to go Take a gamble."

"A gamble? I don't know if you have considered the chance of winning, Lord Baron. If there is no chance of winning, the reward will be nothing but a mirror, meaningless." Ophelia felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Cecil's ambitious look. Interrupt him verbally.

"Although the eldest prince is at a disadvantage now, he is not bound to lose. I'm afraid no one will know the outcome of some things until the end. If you have a good chance of winning, you don't need to fight for many things at all, as long as you show your financial strength. Bibi, can you just die if the card is smaller than the opponent's? No one can know whether you lose or win until the moment the winner is handed." Cecil ignored Ofelina's question and continued.

"You may wish to listen to the conditions given to you by the second prince. As long as the second prince can inherit the throne, your title and territory will increase. Even if the eldest prince Bo wins, it will be difficult to give you this condition, because the second prince will give you It's a province." Ofelina continued, looking at Cecil after she finished speaking, expecting his reply.

Cecil's heart skipped a beat when he heard the reward, because the reward is really not small. Ofelina is right, even if Rex succeeds to the throne, that's all she can give herself. Cecil said: "Prince Lucas thinks so highly of me? Why?"

"I recommended you. Prince Lucas doesn't know you at all. The promise was made by Princess Freya, but you can rest assured that this princess has a very high status in her brother's camp. If she said something, the second prince will definitely Obey." Ofelina looked at Cecil proudly.

"Then I have to congratulate you. No wonder you took the risk of confronting your father to help Prince Lucas. It turns out that you already have such an important position in Princess Freya's heart, allowing her to make such a big deal." Come to win me over, but it's a pity that your reward is not generous, but it's not what I want. Even if you give me more territories and higher titles, it can't change my loyalty to the Earl, so don't waste your efforts in vain , Cecil said firmly.
