Calamity Crown

How can there be such a coincidence?

There must be something tricky here.

And the Grand Duke didn't hide it.

"It's Gejib's game."

"He thought that the other party was insulting the Ke family and his elder brother, so he arranged everything—after that, the Svetla Territory became the direct territory of the Ke family."

"It's a plain area, with both arable land and minerals. There is an iron mine and a silver mine. It's only a day's journey from Bear Castle. There are occasional thieves in the territory, but they can't make waves if they make small troubles."

As the Grand Duke said, he took out a parchment from his pocket and handed it to Goethe.

"This is?"

Goethe had a guess in his mind.

"Lord Svetla's letter of enfeoffment."

"Goethe, you will be the lord there from now on."

After finishing speaking, the Grand Duke stuffed the enveloping book into Goethe's hands without waiting for Goethe's refusal.

Even before, Goethe had guessed, but he was still surprised when he heard that Svetla had received the envelop.

"I do not……"

"you can!"

"You are one of the men of the Ke family, and you have the blood of the Ke family, so you are naturally qualified to inherit the territory of the northern border—if it weren't for the fact that Bear Castle is the fortress facing Fabol in the northern border, the person in charge there must be A person with considerable military talent and leadership ability, I will also assign Bear Castle to you, by the way, and this."

The Grand Duke took out another ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg from his bosom, and stuffed it into Goethe's hand.

"Good for your injury!"

The Grand Duke said so.

But in front of Goethe's eyes, it is the words appearing——

[Healing Stone: This is a special product of one of the secret realms controlled by Tesin's royal family, the 'Fairy Lake'. Putting it on the body can speed up the recovery of injuries, and can actively heal injuries. One of the treasures sent by the royal family to appease the Ke family]

[Effect: 1, recovery; 2, cure]

[Recovery: It can speed up the recovery of the holder's injuries to a certain extent, and can also speed up the recovery of the holder's physical strength]

[Healing: You can release the power of healing at one time, recovering all injuries including fatal injuries, but the healing stone will lose its effect after that]

(Note 1: The recovery speed of the healing stone is closely related to the holder's [body])

(Note 2: The Healing Stone can only heal injuries, but cannot dispel curses or other negative effects)

(Note 3: Can be brought into the 'secret realm')

……

"Slow recovery from injury?"

"Cure a fatal wound?"

Goethe looked at the properties of the [Healing Stone], his eyes lit up.

Both [Recovery] and [Healing] effects are very important to Goethe.

The former makes him more durable.

The latter is basically an extra life.

Goethe wanted it, but couldn't.

He's about to return it.

However, the Grand Duke did not take it, but looked at Goethe seriously.

"Are you trying to upset me?"

the Grand Duke asked.

"I……"

"You are my nephew, and I am your uncle. As your elder, when you encountered a crisis in Lust, I felt guilty for not arriving immediately."

"Originally, I thought everything would be safe and sound after I took you to my side, but this happened again. Now I can't wait to rush to 'Bode' and twist the heads of those bastards."

"but I can not."

"The North is not ready yet."

Saying such words, the Grand Duke patted Goethe on the shoulder again.

"Tomorrow, I will let Enmu teach you the inheritance knowledge of the Ke family - Sim is more suitable, but recently he has to help me deal with the pressure from 'Bode'."

"As for Gejir... Well, he forgets it."

When the youngest son was mentioned, the Grand Duke looked helpless.

"If you have anything to do, tell me directly, don't worry about 'Bode'."

"I'll take care of it."

The Grand Duke smiled at Goethe, got up and left.

Goethe watched the back of the Grand Duke leaving, and sat there in a daze, holding the envelop and the [Healing Stone] that Svetla had received in his hand.

From beginning to end, he could feel the Grand Duke's love for him.

That is the special care that the elders have for the younger generation.

but……

Obviously the identity is fake!

what on earth is it?

Goethe was full of doubts in his heart, and looked at the empty flower garden.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the big raindrops fell down.

After a gloomy afternoon, Harlester finally rained.

There is a hint of coolness in this rain.

Even summer makes the inhabitants of Hallest uncomfortable.

Many old people even built fireplaces directly.

This is especially true in the Ke family castle.

In the fireplace of the small meeting room, a fire was burning brightly.

Dispelling the cold and damp.

When Scrooge Cocker opened the door, a wave of heat hit the surface.

"Father (X3)!"

Simlai Ke, Enmulai Ke and Gejir who were waiting stood up at the same time.

"Ah."

"I have just called on Goethe."

"He's in better spirits than expected."

The Grand Duke said and sat in the middle chair.

"Goethe, who can fight against extraordinary people with a mortal body, is definitely not a cowardly guy—moreover, he has outstanding talents. As long as he has completed three 'baptisms', he will definitely become an existence that attracts people's attention."

Gergil came with unabashed admiration.

"Three 'baptisms'?"

"The guy who didn't finish his 'baptism' once, said three times, isn't it too early?"

"Even if his father handed over the family secrets to him, within three to five years, he would not be able to reach the level of the first 'baptism'."

Emlai Ke leaned back in the chair, with one leg resting on the armrest of the chair, and one hand digging out his ears, with a carefree look.

However, when Sim came and Ke looked over, the second son of the Grand Duke immediately sat up straight and put his hands in order.

Then, the eldest son of the Grand Duke looked at Gejir.

"You are not allowed to use the things you have studied to help Goethe."

On the word 'help', Simlai Ke emphasized the pronunciation.

"He's my younger brother. It's impossible for me to use those unfinished potions to let Goethe do experiments—if only we could have the 'secret realm' of those bastards, maybe there is something in it that can help Goethe to be baptized in advance thing."

Gejir promised, and then when he talked about the 'secret realm', his tone was envious.

"Don't count on crooked things."

"Our Ke family men only need to rely on themselves, that's enough!"

"Our ancestors were able to obtain everything we have now with nothing. As descendants of the Ke family, we should keep this honor in mind!"

The Grand Duke spoke suddenly.

"Yes, father."

The three young men replied immediately.

All three of them looked serious, without perfunctory.

The Grand Duke looked at his three sons and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he looked at the eldest son.

"Come Sim, I hand over Svetla to Goethe."

The Grand Duke said with a little guilt.

After the last engagement incident, Svetla Territory became the domain of the Ke family, and Simlai Ke has been taking care of it.

"Ah."

"Goethe needs a stable fief."

"I will train the soldiers in his territory again."

Simlai Ke didn't have any objection.

For the eldest son of the grand duke, although Svetla is rich, Goethe is the younger brother, so there is no problem for him to hand over to his younger brother.

"This training needs to be stepped up."

"and also……"

"Also pay attention at the border."

"The bastards in Tesin will not let this opportunity go so easily."

The Grand Duke reminded the eldest son.

"Let them come!"

"I'll show them what hell is!"

The Grand Duke's eldest son said murderously.

Of course, not just talking, the eldest son of the Grand Duke immediately opened the map he carried with him, and began to tell his father and two younger brothers what his plan was.

At the same time, several members of the royal family of the capital 'Bode' and Tesin also sat together.

Chapter 31 George VI!

The Summer Palace, the Tesin royal family's summer resort.

As night fell, King George VI, who had dinner, was standing by the lake in casual robes, holding bread crumbs in his hand and feeding the goldfish in the lake—this was the dinner he had every day after he moved to the Summer Palace post activity.

As soon as the bread crumbs were thrown down, a group of goldfish gathered.

And when George VI clapped his hands to indicate that there were no crumbs, the goldfish swam away.

George VI looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal his followers to send some more bread crumbs.
