Quadruple split

"There are countless innocent souls waiting for you who took the first step."

The girl stared at Buffy Marshall intently. She no longer suppressed her long-dormant murderous intent and hatred. The bright and dim look in her eyes was cold and frantic, and her increasingly sweet smile did not contain a trace of warmth: "They are urging me. , so please...heh, I'm sorry, I seem to have lost my composure."

Futaba did not finish her words, but shook her head in embarrassment at everyone after she stopped talking. Then she glanced at the onlooker beside her who was focusing on eating melons, and secretly shook off the latter who pressed him at some point. claws on his knees, and threatened Mo Tan in his friend’s messages to report him for sexual harassment…

Then I lost my temper with an understatement of 'you're welcome'.

This is the trouble of smart people, because there are many people who cannot pretend to be stupid, otherwise they will become more like an idiot.

Whether that little 'touch' just now was some kind of reminder or just taking advantage, both of them knew clearly.

So Futaba really couldn't say anything after the other party directly exposed it, otherwise he would inevitably be ridiculed by some nasty words.

So, back to business.

No one present was surprised at all by Futaba's choice. After all, this incident started out because of a lie she told. Starting from using the royal family to summon all the grand dukes to gather in Salamoon, this girl's every Every step is centered around the central idea of ​​'killing the Marshall family'.

Thinking about it now, if the team that went to Mercury City hadn't been deceived, the trial that didn't start until today would have been advanced by at least half a month.

It is true that no matter how far in advance the time is, the necessary steps like voting still have to be carried out, but without interference from someone, Futaba, who has completely taken the initiative, may not need Mo Tan's help, although he suffered a lot of losses some time ago. , but if she is allowed to completely take the rhythm into her own hands, the Marshall family may really be doomed, and it is very likely that they will face an even worse situation than now.

After all, today, Buffy Marshall has the opportunity to walk out of the Purple Nine Hall with her head held high.

"observe."

Scorpius Hussein gave Futaba a sinister look, touched the hazy white ball of light in front of him without hesitation, and made a choice that was also not beyond everyone's expectations.

Although he and Buffy Marshall were not childhood sweethearts like Grand Duke Ximu Simon (Double Leaf Language), the relationship between Grand Duke Hussein and the latter has always been very good. After they both officially inherited the position of Grand Duke, the territory The two people who are neighbors and have similar interests quickly established a strong cooperative relationship with each other, especially in business. You must know that Buffy had previously planned to use it as a bargaining chip to appease the Fire Claw's tax exemption, business cooperation and other conditions in the Marshall family. The relationship with the Hussein family has lasted for more than two decades. The tacit understanding and interest relationship cultivated for a long time have made them the most perfect collaborators and allies for each other. This is a well-known fact.

Some people are born with incompatibility. From the first moment they see each other and hear each other's first words, they can clearly feel that they are not the same person, such as Vernon Baroka and Mercury Core Fernand. Anatarasha had a unilateral view of Vernon Baroka and his father and grandfather.

However, there are still some people who are naturally compatible with each other. Even if their positions are different, even if their status is very different, even if their most basic gender is different, they can still get along after confirming the first look. Produce a strong sense of resonance, such as Jane Eyre and Rochester; such as Romeo and Juliet; such as Meng Jiangnu and the Great Wall; such as a certain Phantom Thieves leader and a female doctor, a female teacher, a female chess player, a female hacker, a female reporter, a female fortune teller, and a female student union Long, female model, female lolita and female eldest lady (?).

There are also regular versions of like-minded characters like Buffy Marshall and Scorpius Hussein.

Although the bond may be inferior to other examples, Scorpius Hussein would never be able to watch the Marshall family doomed, even if they put aside the friendship and interest relationship between them, because he had already destroyed his family. If Scorpius, who is tied to Marshall, can betray the other party today, he may betray more people tomorrow, so at least until this matter is finalized, his position will never waver.

The white light spread, and at the same time, a deep scratch was cut across the table. The angle was just right to firmly block the sword-shaped ravine that had appeared just a moment ago.

One to one!

"observe?"

Grand Duke Emmeline of the Crystal Wolf looked at Grand Duke Hussein, who was diagonally opposite to her father, and snorted softly: "Why don't you go and observe those innocent people who have become slaves, see their miserable condition, and listen to their stories?" Wail?"

Scorpius had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Emmeline didn't look at the former's reaction. She just stretched out her hand angrily towards the black light ball in front of her and said in a deep voice without hesitation: "Sanctions."

She knew that she was an immature grand duke. Her father's early death made this aristocratic lady who was completely unprepared to become the grand duke of the Crystal Wolf by surprise, even though this young lady who had just lost her virginity had tried her best. However, in the first few years, she was almost overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility countless times in the first few years. If it weren't for many people, led by the old housekeeper Deku, who even risked the reputation of "hostile master" to fully assist, Emmeline might have been I can't hold it anymore...

Today, she has gradually become a mature grand duke and lord, able to independently solve more than 90% of the matters in the territory. And because of the unique delicacy of women, Emmeline is even better than her talented father in some aspects. Doing better, and in the same process, she learned patience, silence, and weighing the pros and cons. This lady who was passionate about martial arts finally put down her beloved long sword, so that her family could have a strong one. The leader chose magic, which she had no interest in but was quite talented in. This kind-hearted, somewhat naive but very righteous noble lady also learned to keep silent about certain things like a real high-ranking person, because although that It's not moral, but it's in the interest; everyone is happy, because the new Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf learns everything very quickly, including of course the art of compromise.

So she has become accustomed to keeping her heart in check, compromising on the position she sits in, and compromising on herself who must become the Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf, but...

Just like Emmeline has chosen the path of magic, but still habitually wears her [Crystal Wolf Slash], she also has her own persistence, which is not the persistence of [Grand Duke Crystal Wolf], but [love] Milin]'s persistence.

One thing she didn't tell Futaba was that although Buffy Marshall's envoy did not visit her, she found someone to secretly slip a letter to the old butler Deku who was out shopping a few days ago. There was not a single unnecessary word in it. Just a set of conditions that are fascinating just to look at.

For a long time, the Crystal Wolf family, which has a good foundation, has been far inferior to the Marshall, Dantes, Simon and other families in terms of comprehensive strength. In terms of financial resources, it is also completely incomparable with the Hussein family. Therefore, if we have to compare the same family members, The nine major families at the top of the Violet Pyramid are divided into levels, and Crystal Wolf can definitely be ranked among the bottom three.

But even so, the Crystal Wolf family heads of all generations have always been very open-minded. Although they sometimes worry from various angles, at least they have never used any bad means to enhance their strength, and they are also famous for their conscience when it comes to taxation. , live your life with a peaceful mind as long as it doesn’t harm your vitality.

Until Emmeline's father, the previous generation Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf, died unexpectedly...

As I said before, although Emmeline is very hard-working, very sensible, very talented, and matures very quickly, the Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf sitting here is not a fat person who was eaten out in one bite. She also spent several years. It took a lot of time to be able to be as independent as now, and it was during those years that the Crystal Wolf family's inevitable vitality was severely damaged. It was not a violent or tragic accident, it was just the sacrifice of a busy young man. It's just the [tuition fee] that the naive new Grand Duke has to pay.

Very high tuition fees...

However, if we can get everything promised in that letter, the Crystal Wolf family will not only be able to quickly recover, but even become stronger than it has been in the past hundreds of years. In the words of the old butler Deku, this is simply a miracle. This is an offer that the Crystal Wolf family cannot refuse.

Moreover, the other party also added at the end of the letter that as long as he can gain the friendship of the Crystal Wolf family, he will try his best to fulfill his promise no matter what the final result is.

Because this belongs to the [Trial Tradition] of the Violet Empire for thousands of years, the authenticity can be guaranteed.

If it were in the past, the Crystal Wolf Grand Duke, whose youthfulness has faded, would most likely agree to the other party's request. After all, she is now clearly aware of what she is carrying, so no matter how uncomfortable she feels, she will still use those things. People who encounter misfortune will not comfort themselves with the excuse that the Marshall family will be punished and escape their suffering or rest in peace.

However, Emmeline hesitated after all...

She could not forget the heaviness she inadvertently showed when her rare friend came to visit, and the overwhelming sadness beneath the heaviness.

Therefore, even though Grand Duke Crystal Wolf had learned to compromise and thought he was numb enough, he still had insomnia that night.

But the next day, Butler Deku, who usually gave clear answers or suggestions whenever he asked anything, was uncharacteristically silent. After a long time, he smiled and told Emmeline, 'You have grown up.'

Facing Emmeline, who had already passed her coming-of-age ceremony and looked confused, Deku could only gently point to the family emblem embroidered on his chest and look at her lovingly...

That night, Emmeline, who had been shut up all day, walked out of the study, her eyes no longer confused.

Yes, she has grown up. Although she still shoulders the responsibility of the entire family, she is now qualified to practice and implement her own will, instead of continuing to be a symbol of serving the right.

Because being "correct" doesn't make others agree with you, so...

"Sanctions."

After saying these two words calmly, Emmeline let out a long breath, and her eyes were as sharp as ever.

Since he is a wolf, it is time for others to see his fangs!

Buzz! !

On the table, a second ravine suddenly appeared, like a sharp fang, piercing through the notch that represented the position of the Hussein family.

Emmeline chuckled lightly and nodded to Buffy Marshall, who had a calm expression.

Like a wolf staring down the throat of its prey.

Although I refused the readily available benefits, I can bite your throat into pieces and tear off pieces of bloody 'meat' with my own strength and will!

Two to one!

Then it was leveled again by a trembling 'observation'.

Archduke Fernand, who was standing on a pile of cushions, reached out hesitantly and lightly touched the white light in front of him. The next second, the ravine on the table that looked like a wolf's teeth appeared. It was silently cut off in the middle by a straight score.

As Motan and Futaba expected, the wavering Archduke Fernando of Mercury finally chose to side with the Marshalls. After all, his territory was too close to the Marshalls, and he was inferior to the latter in all aspects. For one thing, plus the fact that Anthony Dabbs was ambushed before, and combined with the character of this cowardly Mediterranean, this choice is really not surprising.

After Archduke Fernand cast his 'vote', he sat back as if he was exhausted. His shiny forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He first glanced at Buffy Marshall with some flattering eyes, and then kept using his peripheral vision. Looking at Futaba and Emmeline, although the two girls had no intention of doing anything to him, and had no reason to do anything to him, Fernando Fernando was still trembling in his chair, looking scared. The look of being retaliated against.

The style of this friendless grand duke is very similar to that of the signature "Iron Gate Guards" in his territory. Although the latter is hardly offensive, it has always been the most proficient in defense in the entire Violet Empire. The warrior is similar to the tortoise-like style of Archduke Fernando.

Looking at the frightened and cautious appearance of Mercury Core, many people couldn't help but wonder how far this guy wanted to disgrace the name of the "iron gate" that had been passed down by his family for hundreds of years.

However, Barroca, Dantes and others only pondered this matter for less than half a minute. The rather oppressive silence was broken by Archduke Simon, who had not said a word from the beginning until now.

I saw this dark elf with a serious face, meticulous hairstyle and beard, and an age ratio of about five years to an ordinary person. He took a deep look at Buffy Marshall and sighed silently...

"Sanctions."
