Lord Harland.

Just after the birthday of the goddess, Baron Harden sent an invitation.

"Dear Viscount Richard Harland, tomorrow is my daughter Monica's engagement dinner. I sincerely invite you to attend, your friend Harden."

Sophia took the invitation letter and asked Richard, "Do we need to go?"

"No, I need to focus on a spell problem these days, and I don't have any free time. Besides, we don't have too close contacts with Baron Harden. If we attend these noble banquets every time, it will waste too much time." ?”

Richard decisively refused. He was somewhat introverted and did not like to participate in such aristocratic entertainment.

Participating in noble banquets always requires you to talk with all kinds of old men and women in a vague way, and you need to be very nervous mentally to analyze the meaning contained in the words of the nobles.

Every time he attended a meeting of nobles, Richard felt like he was in a war, which consumed a lot of mental energy.

Sophia's personality is more similar to that of a scientist. She doesn't even like taking care of children, and she doesn't like attending various aristocratic banquets. She thinks it is a waste of time.

Only William and Mrs. Olla in the Harland family are party animals. They are keen to participate in various banquets and hang out with many strangers.

He was a stranger at first, but he made it seem very familiar.

"Then I will write a letter to refuse. Baron Harden is an important nobleman in Gascoigne Province. I will write a little more tactfully."

Time passed by, and Baron Harden's engagement banquet was held as scheduled.

In the baron's castle, the nobles wore gorgeous dresses, enjoyed fine wine and food, watched singing and dancing, and chatted about some news in the northern region.

The three older nobles hid in the study, and their relationship should be very close, exchanging some secret news.

One of them was Baron Harden, the other was Charlemagne, the commander of the Wild Lion Legion, and the last was Viscount Anthony, a very important nobleman in Gascoigne Province.

"I heard that Prince Chris married Duke Jonathan's third daughter?"

"Duke Jonathan's third daughter seems to be a fool, right?"

"Duke Jonathan's third daughter does have a low IQ, which is said to be related to incest marriage. However, it is rumored that the Duke's daughter's bloodline is very pure, and there is no shortage of suitors in Duke Jonathan's family."

Duke Jonathan's family has always had a tradition of inbreeding.

In the Dawn Plane, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, it is common for princes and nobles to marry close relatives. Even if they pay a high price, in order to maintain the strength of their bloodline, nobles will still choose to marry close relatives, just to give birth to bloodline talents. High genius.

Although the base of geniuses is small, most of them are deformed children, fools and other unlucky people.

In fact, on the highly civilized Earth, in a country called America, marriages between close relatives are very common among the upper class of society.

The reason for this is very simple, it is to avoid the loss of wealth.America has the wealthiest consortia in the world, and most of these consortiums are composed of several families closely united.

In these huge families, everyone holds some power and interests. Once an out-marriage occurs, after the death of a female member, the power and interests she holds will be passed on to the next generation in accordance with the provisions of the law, and the next generation's bloodline and surname will be passed on to the next generation. Obviously it is not on his side. The power and interests in the family are controlled by outsiders, which is a disaster for such a huge family.

Therefore, whether it is to avoid the loss of rights and interests, or to enhance their voice and status in the family, they will take the initiative to take the responsibility of throwing their relatives to bed and killing them.

Even for money, in this world, close relatives get married not only for money, but also for blood, power, rights and so on.

For this reason, moral standards change.

Civilians have long recognized the dangers of marriage between close relatives and consider it incest and a despised behavior. In the Church of the Seven Gods, the Goddess of Dawn and the God of Truth prohibit believers from marrying close relatives.

On the contrary, the nobles believed that incest marriage was a behavior that could only be performed by those with noble blood, and despised the shallow and stupid understanding of common people.

The Church of the God of Kingship and Order does not prohibit believers from marrying close relatives.

"Prince Chris is going to fight for the throne. If the queen's IQ is insufficient and she can't get on the stage, how can she attend public events? Isn't she afraid of becoming a laughing stock?"

"Now that King Charles supports Prince Felix, the Grant family has not yet unified their opinions. Although Prince Chris has the support of Duke Duran and Duke Roger, if the Grant family agrees to support Prince Felix, Prince Chris may not have a chance of winning ?

But it's different with the support of Duke Jonathan. With Duke Jonathan's influence, the Grant family will definitely consider Duke Jonathan's opinion. "

Baron Harden listened to the analysis of the two old friends and asked thoughtfully: "How many years can this old guy Brener last?"

"I could have lived for more than ten years, but through our hands, we dedicated a piece of water of life to the Grant royal family. This water of life was added with the divine power of the God of Glory. If the legend in the prime of life is refined, it can increase longevity. In twenty years, there will still be some special miraculous effects, but for an old and frail legendary refiner like Brenner, it will probably increase the burden on the body. It is estimated that the old man's health will only deteriorate in the past few days."

“It has been six hundred years since the Grant family betrayed their master and stole the power of the Kingdom of Venus.

For six hundred years, our ancestors have been fighting continuously, hoping to regain the power of their motherland. They have seen the light of day several times, but every time a genius appears in the Grant family. More than a hundred years ago, it was Brener, the old man, who defeated It saved our ancestors and allowed the Grant royal family to continue its national destiny for more than a hundred years. "

"Now the good luck of the Grant royal family is over, Brener is about to die, and the current Charlie Kingdom is not a talented king. It is up to our generation to restore the glory of our ancestors."

Hearing the truth that Brener was about to die, Baron Harden's face immediately flushed.He nodded excitedly and said, "What will the family do after Brener's death?"

"We will assassinate King Charles and provoke the Grant family to a civil war. When the Grant royal family declines, we will contact the loyal ministers of the Venus family to completely liquidate the Grant family, a traitor family with dirty blood."

If Richard heard these secret conversations, he would be surprised. It turns out that Baron Harden, Viscount Anthony, and Charlemagne, the leader of the Wild Lion Army, are all members of the Venus family.

These three are all heavyweights in Gascoigne Province, and the three of them joined forces to set off a rebellion, which can turn Gascoigne Province upside down.

"Among the young talents in Northern Xinjiang, are there any candidates worth wooing?"

"The most capable is Richard of the Harland family. This family is a new force in the Gerda province. It already has soldiers. Although Li Cha is young, he has already shown good battlefield instincts and has the demeanor of a famous general. I He is the one I want to win over the most, but he is not easy to get along with. I also invited him to this banquet, but he did not agree to my invitation. "

"If you can win over such young talents, win over them. If you can't win over them, then eliminate any future troubles."

"When we start an uprising, will the seven earls in the south cooperate with us? After more than six hundred years, how much loyalty do they have to the Venus family left?"

"Don't worry about this issue, our people have mastered the dominance of the Cloverford family and the Meisling family."

"Did we get rid of Earl Crawford?" After hearing this, Baron Harden asked doubtfully.

Charlemagne nodded and said: "Earl Cloverford has no intention of cooperating with us, and even sold the person we sent to contact to the capital. The family magician personally acted, seduced Earl Cloverford, and let him come The Eagle Mountain Range has easily cut off this trouble."
