Medieval White Elf Story

Flynn had been secretly observing the reactions of Old Tibbs and his wife, but he didn't know that when no one noticed, a servant quietly slipped out of the room, making sure that no one noticed his disappearance, and quickly walked along the He ran down the corridor to another secret room, quickly opened the door and slipped in.

When the servant walked in, two people in the room gathered around him. A thin young man couldn't wait to lower his voice and asked: "How are you doing? Did you find out anything?"

The servant nervously replied: "The Duchess of Werner has indeed arrived here safe and sound, and is crying to the Duke and Madam about last night's attack."

After hearing these words, the young man seemed to have lost all his strength. He slumped down on the chair and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over, this is terrible."

"It's not that bad, Master Loras." Another tall man put his hand on the young man's shoulder and comforted him: "We are acting very carefully. They can't find any evidence to figure out who instigated it." Yes, you don’t need to worry about things being exposed.”

The young Master Loras he spoke of was the son of Duke Zeon, the fourth child of Old Tibes and Lady Lizzy, the only surviving boy, and the future heir to Duke Zeon.

Before he was born, there was a half-brother, but a few months after Loras was born, the eldest son of the Zeon family suddenly died of an inexplicable serious illness, so that the Principality of Zeon Rumors circulated internally that Mrs. Becky sent someone to poison the eldest young master to obtain the inheritance for her biological son.

The inheritance law on the Goron continent is mainly based on eldest son priority and equal division of maternal lineage. The eldest son among several sons born to the same mother can obtain the right to inherit the title and most of the property, while sons born to different mothers need to follow the same rules. The property owned by each mother is divided, and then inherited in the order of priority for the eldest son.In order to ensure that the inheritance of the territory avoids division and shrinkage caused by inheritance laws, generally speaking, nobles choose to be monogamous or marry women from the same family as much as possible. One of the triggers for the collapse of the Second Kingdom was the father of the last king. He married many wives from different families, causing the kingdom to be dispersed and inherited by the sons of different wives after his death. Although the oldest prince inherited the throne, the territory had shrunk by more than half due to the division of the brothers. When the last prince After the king's early death, his brothers fought with each other for the throne, causing the entire country to completely collapse in the melee.

The mother of the eldest young master of the Zeon family was also born in the Principality of Belson and was the cousin of Lady Liji. Generally speaking, if the eldest young master is alive, then the future destiny of young master Loras is that he will not be able to inherit the title of Duke and can only inherit the title. Although the dowry property brought by Madam Liji was quite large, it was certainly far less than that of the entire Principality of Zeon. Of course, Madam Liji had sufficient motives to take action against the eldest young master.

Of course, these rumors gradually subsided with the passage of time and people's fear of old Tibes and Lady Lizzy, but at least in the eyes of many people, the origin of Master Loras's inheritance is somewhat shady.

But now, this young master Loras feels that his status is seriously threatened, and it is very likely that he will be doomed.

He looked up at the tall man, his eyes filled with suspicion: "Do you really think they can't find out my knight?"

"Yes, I am sure of this." Enil, Viscount Penas, tried to stabilize Loras's mood with a firm tone. "You don't have to worry at all. You are the only heir of the Duke anyway. This kind of thing even if the Duke No matter what clues he finds, he won’t be able to investigate you thoroughly.”

Loras's eyes lit up, then dimmed: "But he needs to give an account to the Principality of Werna. If my father finds out that I did this, he will never let me go." Thinking of this, Loras Lars couldn't help but tremble slightly, apparently remembering his father's angry state.

"That's why I objected to letting you attack the Duchess." Enil thought to himself, but did not say it out loud. "You know clearly that the Duke does not want to offend the Principality of Werner, but you are so bold that you want to kidnap the Duchess. Now that you have made a fool of yourself, you realize the use of fear."

At this time, we need to stabilize this guy to prevent him from leaking his clues in front of the Duke. Enil can only continue to comfort him: "I have sent people to look at the city gate. What the Duchess brought here are all corpses. Those hired The soldiers should not have been captured alive. Even if they were captured, it is impossible to know the identity of their employer, and we are still safe."

"But Philemon who went to contact them will still expose us. If they follow the clues and catch Philemon, will he be able to keep it a secret?" Loras retorted. He was becoming more and more frightened now. At the beginning, The plan that seemed to be flawless suddenly turned out to be full of holes.

Enil didn't think there was anything wrong if Philemon was caught. In order to please Loras, he actively encouraged him to attack the Duchess and helped plan the bad idea of ​​hiring people to intercept the convoy and kidnap him in the middle of the night. But now These accusations make little sense.

He smiled and said to the servant on the side: "You did a good job. This is a reward for you. Take it and go to the Duke to serve you."

The servant who had been waiting next to him looked happy and stared greedily at the money bag handed over by Enil. He reached out to catch it and then bent down to express his gratitude to the two masters. Just when he turned around and wanted to leave, Enil's face The smile disappeared, and he quickly grabbed the servant's neck with both hands and twisted it hard, killing him neatly.

After laying the servant's body on the ground, Enil turned to Loras, who was so frightened by this scene that he couldn't speak. "You shouldn't reveal too much information in front of him. You can be bribed with money." None of your servants will be loyal servants, and they may turn around and report what you said to the Duke."

"Ah" Loras's face trembled a few times, and he asked in fear, "But he is my father's personal servant. If you kill him, your father will know soon. What should you do?"

"If we keep him, we will only expose us." Enil said in a persuasive manner: "Stop his mouth in advance. Even if the Duke knows who killed him, there is no way to understand the real reason. If you want to keep these people firmly Keep secrets, only the mouth of the dead is the most reliable."

After speaking, he stared at Loras with sharp eyes and said: "I will call Philemon over later. You'd better say hello to the Duchess first. After all, he is a person your mother trusts very much."

Looking at the murderous Enil in front of him, Loras swallowed secretly and finally nodded.
