Chapter 422: Using Softness to Overcome Hardness
Hearing this, George's eyes twitched fiercely. He couldn't help but look at the "ordinary" things around him again, and suddenly found that everything he had seen on the road seemed to be extraordinary.
Simple Perhaps this impression is just because he is a nouveau riche and can't see these things
"Alfonso, the Sky Eagle Family just fought a battle in the Black Tide, right?" George couldn't help but whispered.
Alfonso looked at the "great noble" who came from the "Black Pearl" in front of him, and a strange taste appeared in his eyes. After a moment, he remembered that this guy didn't seem to be a "Black Pearl", and shook his head and said: "You still don't understand the heritage of these great families that have been passed down for thousands of years. A few battles can't make them poor."
The valley had long been hollowed out in the disaster, and so were Yongfeng City and Bishui City. But these great families in the hinterland of the south are completely different.
George nodded secretly. He knew that he had to search everywhere during this trip to the south.
When approaching the tower where the old duke lived, the servants who came and went on the stairs and corridors obviously slowed down. This made the voices of the team coming here a little harsh.
Layton suddenly signaled everyone to wait, walked forward, and communicated with a middle-aged maid with a pretty face.
"George, this nanny is the nanny of Layton and Miss Tanya." Alfonso quietly looked at the maid's buttocks and whispered to George: "When I was a child, I came here with my father once and happened to see her feeding Tanya. I also scolded her. The nanny at that time was really young and beautiful."
George laughed dumbly.
What do you mean by coincidence? Alfonso, this guy, must have had no intention of doing good things in the past. After failing to tease her, he was scolded again.
Thinking of this, George looked at the beautiful young aunt in front of him and touched his chin.
The servant was reprimanded for flirting with the prince. This kind of thing would never happen in the ancient times of his world. But if this nanny is compared to the prince's concubine, then it must be appropriate.
Or, an old lover.
After a while, Leighton and the maid came over. His face was slightly embarrassed, and the maid held her head high. There was even a hint of asking everyone to speak softly between her words. Then she led everyone to the duke's bedroom.
After seeing this beautiful nanny, the nobles of the Sky Eagle couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, but they gradually lowered their voices. George and others stopped talking after looking at each other.
The status of servants in the castle has always been very different. Some close servants are treated like family members by their masters. Sometimes, even some nannies with special status will remind their masters to teach disobedient children.
When Sophia was a child, she was often spanked by the nanny who taught him etiquette.
And at certain times, a butler or chief servant often represents the face of the master. As the Grand Duke of the Skyhawk, there are too many important people who come to visit. The king and the cardinal are probably not the first time to come.
However, no matter what, the people who come to visit today are a little special, and the old duke must know it. Ordering Leighton and others to go and greet them grandly can be said to be a proper courtesy. But the attitude of the servants represents his inner attitude.
So this is a bit subtle.
George touched his chin slightly.
The situation seems a little wrong. This old Skyhawk is probably prepared.
But his group of people came so powerfully. Can he save the situation?
When everyone followed the maid up the stairs and passed through the corridor, they gradually came to the door of the bedroom.
When the door opened, a warm air and incense rushed in, and the spacious bedroom appeared in George's eyes.
Seven or eight exquisite "bronze vessels" with strange shapes and more than half a person's height burned special spices. The wisps of light mist that came out made the room warm and fresh, covering up the strong smell of medicine.
The pure white velvet carpet was spread on the ground, allowing the servants to step on it. The maids and servants who came and went walked lightly from one hall to another in the bedroom. They poured the gold-threaded wooden basins in their hands that held hot medicine into the water inlets around the strangely shaped square pool in the middle of the bedroom.
The square pool was on the ground with eight claws, like the lower body of an eagle when it was grasping the ground. There were many water inlets around it that could be used to introduce medicine. There seemed to be an opening in the center of the square pool, but it had been closed and a large chair had just been placed on it.
The shape of the large chair was like a large bird with its wings folded, and the shape was very lifelike. And from the folded wings, hot steam kept coming out.
Next to this chair, Tanya and several maids were helping the 'Duke William' wrapped in thick fur to sit on it, just in the embrace of the wings of the chair.
It was simply showing off in public, but there was nothing wrong with it. Seeing that the old man looked like he was about to die, everyone could not help but tiptoe into the house. Alfonso even carefully closed the door himself to prevent the cold air outside from blowing into the house.
Then, Alfonso's eyes passed through George's dull face and looked at the pale-faced Archduke William. He had only one thing in his mind - the will has not been made yet, you must not die now!
Of course, if he knew how energetic this old guy was after hearing the news before, he might have already begun to curse in his heart.
After the old Grand Duke sat down, Tanya dismissed the servant and carefully kneaded her father's limbs and back. She is stronger than anyone else and knows how to control it. The father's frown finally relaxed under the kneading.
It seems that Tanya was not imprisoned by some violent means, but had already been captured by her father's torture plan.
This old man pretending to be dead is even more cunning than Phillips.
Talk about inheritance? Talk nonsense
Old Dome Eagle played this trick very well. It can be said that softness overcomes hardness.
The powerful army from the valley arrived and occupied the city again. They held the butcher's knife of the 'arbitration team' and looked like they would be thrown into jail if they disobeyed. Coupled with the tremendous pressure placed on Dome Eagle in the country, these factors combined were like a heavy iron fist.
But it hit cotton.
He was indeed unable to withstand this iron fist, but this iron fist could not make a 'dead man' change his will. After this iron fist fight, the public opinion in the country will definitely reverse. The great nobles and lords in the kingdom, as well as the Qiong Eagle, even Yodlan and others, will face this group of outsiders who bully their own people. What will happen in front of you?
As long as the old man keeps pretending to be dead, the fraud group will get nothing. Not only that, if they make a big fuss and pass, both the Kingdom and Saint Wilmick will stand firmly behind the Dome Eagle and face this extremely powerful opponent. And the so-called Dome Eagle's disintegration will inevitably become the most important family in the kingdom's defense against the northern valley amid this general trend.
All of Old Skyhawk's political goals will be accomplished, leaving his descendants a solid foundation upon which to revive once again.
Seeing Tanya's helpless and pleading eyes facing him, George cast his gaze on the motionless old dome eagle and couldn't help but laugh coldly.
