Casting spells

"Since you have talked about this, I would be too reckless if I still refuse. Well, I agree with your request. Now, can we talk about how you plan to deal with Vilia? After all, she Now she is no longer the naive and ignorant princess she was before, but an extremely dangerous opponent." Kerwin didn't plan to dwell on this issue for too long, and went straight to the point decisively.

As for the marriage and what kind of woman to marry as his wife, he never cared about it from the beginning to the end.

The opposite sex is not so much a partner for him, but a tool to vent his desire and reproduce offspring, as long as he is beautiful and healthy enough.

"I heard that you once captured her? Why did you release her later?" Harrison did not directly give his plan, but asked a very critical question.

You don't need to ask. Like many people, he is very curious about what happened in the first place, so that a princess with the name of a vase suddenly changed her person overnight. Not only did she launch a coup to replace her father, At the same time, it also annexed a nearby principality with lightning speed.

"Sorry, this is a private matter between the two of us, so I can't tell you too much detail. You just need to know that she is funded by a powerful existence. Fortunately, this powerful existence will not directly Intervene in the fights among ordinary people, so you don't need to worry too much about what trouble you will encounter after getting rid of Vilia." Kerwin gave the answer half-truthfully.

In fact, even he wasn't sure how Zhang Cheng would react if Villa was killed or kicked out.

"Oh? You mean... there is a mysterious guy hiding behind?"

Harrison raised his eyebrows and looked into the other's eyes, trying to find some unusual information.

As a veteran of playing politics and conspiracies, it is not difficult to guess based on his IQ that Kerwin was funded by this mysterious person to rise so quickly.

But the question is, why would the mysterious person choose to support a kingdom that is on the verge of extinction?

What happened between him and Kerwin?

What kind of ulterior secret or conspiracy is hidden behind everything?

Kerwin noticed this kind of silent temptation, and sighed helplessly: "Oh... I can't give you an accurate answer, but I can give you a little hint. He is different from us. , let alone try to use your own thinking to deduce his motives. In his eyes, all the power, wealth, beauty, and glory in the world are not worth mentioning."

"It seems that you are very familiar with this mysterious person. Could you introduce me?" Harrison offered a request.

"Hehe, you seem to have misunderstood something. Do you know? Neither I nor Villa are qualified to ask him to do anything, but he directly gave us orders, and we must complete them without compromise. Otherwise... this People will pay the price for their arrogance and stupidity."

When he said these words, Kerwin's eyes flashed with imperceptible regret.

He knew that the rise of Vilia was precisely because he was overwhelmed with thoughts that he shouldn't have, that's why Isolt left him, for fear of being implicated accidentally.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Because Kerwin deliberately revealed a lot of inside information, Harrison finally agreed to conclude a covenant, giving priority to dealing with Vilia, who seemed to be the most threatening.

However, in exchange, the former must announce his engagement to his daughter and introduce himself to the mysterious person when the time is right.

It can be said that both parties feel that they have obtained what they want from this covenant.

But because of information asymmetry, one of them was unknowingly used by the other.

When Harrison led his entourage out of the dirty tavern and came to the main road of the small border town, the princess, who had always looked very ugly, finally couldn't help asking: "Father! Are you really going to marry me to that Dirty and ugly guy? Don’t forget, he’s a shameless traitor, with no honor to brag about, and no historical deposit.”

"Why, you look down on him?" Harrison stopped and looked at his daughter with interest.

"That's right! I despise him! Spit on him! Tone is married to such rubbish, I would rather go to a monastery to be a priest serving the gods." The princess did not hesitate to use strong tone words to express her inner anger and dissatisfaction.

She has always felt that her future husband, if not a handsome prince, should at least be a mature and stable king or grand duke who can give her the love and care she desires.

But the cruel reality shattered all fantasies and made her realize that the person she was going to marry was not only not handsome, but rather hideous and ugly, she could almost be her own father in terms of age alone.

The most important thing is that the other party's reputation is almost rotten to the extreme. When she thinks of sharing the bed with such a person, or even spending the rest of her life, she has an urge to commit suicide.

It's a pity that Harrison's thinking was just the opposite of that of his daughter, and he explained with a smile: "No, my dear, you only saw the superficial phenomena, but not the essence. I admit that Kerwin's appearance is really not good-looking , but he is far from as bad as you describe. On the contrary, he rose from a small remote town, and he is better than the monarchs of most countries today, knowing how to protect the rights in his hands. But this is not me The reason for marrying him, my real purpose is to let you give birth to a legal heir for him, and then inherit all the land and property after his death."

"You want to use me to take everything he owns? Just like what you did to those two countries, make my son a puppet?" The princess was obviously very angry, and she clenched her fists tightly and stared at her father.

She will never forget how her two older sisters became victims of politics, and how she couldn't even protect her son, so she could only watch them being controlled, without even a little freedom.

What's even more frightening is that the only thing they can do in the future is to obediently obey the arrangement, but anyone who shows the slightest sense of resistance will be severely punished immediately.

Harrison would never mind letting his grandson have an accident and replacing him with a more obedient one, if he wasn't smart enough.

Family love, for a king who is determined to expand his territory and make contributions, has never been a necessity, but a flavoring agent for life. It is better to have it, and it doesn't matter if it is not.

Especially when the former conflicts with the goal, family affection is often the first to be sacrificed.

"No, how could that be? I'm thinking about you. You know that Kerwin doesn't have a huge family behind him, not even any decent relatives. Once you marry him, give him a legal heir , then you can get half of the kingdom and a crown. Believe me, when you see his legendary army with your own eyes, you will understand my good intentions. Besides, what he mentioned I am very interested in that mysterious man."

Harrison wisely avoided the most acute part of the conflict between the two, and took the initiative to change the topic.

As a person with a very high emotional intelligence, he understands that at this time, he must not stimulate his daughter's sensitive nerves, but try to appease her as much as possible to ensure that no accidents will happen to the plan he made.

"Think about me? Ha! This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life! When did you think about us? You just use us as a tool to realize your ambition." Show mercy to unmask your father's hypocritical mask.

It was the first time she was so angry since she was a child, and she also understood why none of her brothers and sisters felt that this man was a qualified father.

"Honey, calm down. I'm your father, so how can I not think about my beloved daughter. It's just that you children will inevitably enter the rebellious period, and you can't understand my good intentions. After all, in this world, There is nothing more important than power and wealth, and all I do is help you get it."

When saying these words, Harrison's tone was full of sincerity, and his eyes also showed the kindness that a father should have.

But unfortunately, his acting skills did not fool the young princess, who just sneered, then turned and left alone.

Watching the back of his daughter gradually going away, Harrison couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "She is not the first child to resist my decision, and I believe she will not be the last. It doesn't matter, I have already gotten used to it. What do you think? "

"Your Majesty, you did go a little too far this time. I don't think there is any need to marry Kerwin. He is not worthy of the noble blood of the royal family, let alone a young and beautiful princess." An elderly guard Expressed his opinion in a low voice.

"No, you don't understand. Kerwin is not as simple as you imagined. I have a hunch that the mysterious person he just mentioned must be very, very powerful. If we establish a friendship or a covenant with each other, Then we can become the supreme overlord on this continent. Think about it, when I give an order and no country dares to defy it, what kind of great cause will it be?"

Harrison opened his arms, eyes blazing with desire.

Similar to Kerwin, he is also an out-and-out careerist.

The only difference is that he was born into a royal family with noble blood and inheritance rights, so what he does will be no different from Kerwin.

What's more interesting is that as time went by, he felt more and more that Kerwin was simply another self. Dealing with such a person would give this powerful monarch an inexplicable pleasure.

Although it was difficult for him to describe his psychological feelings, he enjoyed the whole process very much, as if he was looking at himself in the early years...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The marriage between the top nobles is always something worthy of everyone's attention.

Because this means a new covenant, the breaking of the existing balance, and the redistribution of interests.

Especially for a well-known monarch like Harrison, who his daughter will marry is like a magnitude [-] earthquake, which quickly spreads to the surrounding countries.

Although it is only an engagement, the object of the marriage is the recently notorious tyrant Kerwin.

You must know that more than 90.00% of the nobles don't like this guy who launched a rebellion by destroying the existing order, and he doesn't want his vassals to have similar ideas.

Therefore, it is not accidental that Kerwin became the object of everyone's spurning and cursing, but a kind of suppression of challengers by the original vested interest groups.

But unfortunately, the hard power of this challenger is too strong, so that they dare not use force easily, they just stay in verbal condemnation, and the boldest ones support the resistance organization secretly at most to create a little confusion.
