[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

On June 960, [-], the Roland Empire, the coup event finally came to an end.All the aristocratic and wealthy families that participated in the coup were wiped out, their lords were deprived of land and their troops were disarmed, and some even the mansions of the imperial capital were confiscated.The families involved in the coup were killed all the way down from Marquis Solomon.But the only exception was that when it was the turn of Earl Raymond of the Luo Lin family, it became "remove all titles and titles, and never be knighted".

At the same time, the empire has never conferred the title of duke in nearly a hundred years, let alone a hereditary duke, but the newly promoted Lord Tulip, who is so honored by the regent, chose the barren and barren Northwest. Desa Province.Such two pieces of news came out together, and anyone with a little brain could guess what was going on.

The aristocrats kept silent about this, closed the door and went back thinking that the regent really loved Duke Tulip so much that he really saved the old Earl Raymond's life.

However, although the old Earl Raymond was not sentenced to death, the Earl's Mansion in the imperial capital was taken back. They needed to pack their bags and leave the imperial capital immediately to go back to the former Luolin Plain and now the province of Cote.The guards surrounding the Earl's Mansion have all been withdrawn, and most of the servants and guards in the mansion have been disbanded. Because his parents and brother will leave tomorrow, Du Wei stayed in the Earl's Mansion the night before.

In the evening, after having a heart-to-heart talk with his parents, it was getting late. Du Wei stretched his limbs in the courtyard and felt that his spirit, which had been tense for a while, seemed to relax a lot.Sending his parents back to the Luolin Plain, he can concentrate on circling around with the Magic Union in the imperial capital. After helping Chen build the Magic Academy, it's time to go to the Northwest?

Thinking of this, Du Wei was a little worried. He would definitely go to the Northwest. Although it was desolate there, there was no place more suitable for him to be a fief. He was an uncompromising master in the Northwest back then.The only thing that makes Du Wei not very satisfied is that the distance from the northwest to the imperial capital is... indeed a bit far.Forget it, the big deal is that he will be like his father in the future, as long as the permanent emperor does not go back to fief the land, it will save some suspicion and suspicion.

"elder brother!"

"Gabri?" Du Wei looked at his young brother and smiled, reaching out to give him a hug, "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?"

"Can I stay in the imperial capital with you?"

Sure enough, it was this question again, Du Wei looked at Gabriel's still childish face, sighed, but shook his head resolutely, "No."

"Why?" Gabriel clenched his fists, his expression and tone were very excited, "I am from the Luo Lin family, I want to stay in the imperial capital, I want to make contributions here, and restore the glory of the family in the future! I don't want to go back to my hometown Go down, there is no hope of returning there..." And, brother, you are here, and I want to be with you.

"Wait for two years." Du Wei looked at his younger brother whom he had loved from his previous life to this life, and patted his shoulder reassuringly. "In two years, I will pick you up. Now is not the time."

Gabriel's expression was very disappointed. He lowered his head, looked at Du Wei's clothes, and said nothing.His elder brother is the person he has always admired the most. When everyone else, even his mother, thinks that his elder brother is incompetent, he has always been complacent, because he is the only one who knows how powerful his elder brother is. excellent.But suddenly one day, he was told that his brother was no longer his brother.

Because his father participated in the coup d'état, and the result of the coup d'état was that the eldest prince's lineage failed, and now is the era when Prince Chen is in power.Gabriel actually didn't understand these things, he only knew one thing, his brother Du Wei, was not his brother from that day on.His elder brother is now the Duke of Tulip personally appointed by the Prince Regent. His elder brother has even been given the surname "Rudolph" instead of Luo Lin. But it was no longer his brother.

As much as Gabriel admired Du Wei in the past, he was so disappointed and sad now, but he still endured it until tonight, and then he couldn't help but open his mouth to Du Wei, but he was still rejected.Gabriel exuded a low breath, with his head hanging down, intending to go back to his room, but was stopped by Du Wei.

"Gabri," Du Wei stroked his younger brother's hair, his tone changed from the usual gentle and doting to serious, he said, "Gabri, you have to remember, I can no longer be with my parents, you are theirs now The only son! You are the hope of the Luo Lin family to rise again in the future, you can neither collapse nor fail!"

"Brother..." Gabriel suddenly raised his head and looked at Du Wei with a complicated expression.

Du Wei smiled again, "Remember, I will always be your brother." After speaking, he patted Gabriel on the shoulder, "Take good care of your father and mother, especially your father, and ask someone to check your father's body regularly. Take precautions before they happen." After thinking for a while, Du Wei added, "Remember to let me know if there is anything to do."

"Understood, brother." Gabriel, who was still having a childish temper, became well-behaved and obedient again after being told by Du Wei, and nodded earnestly in front of Du Wei's instructions.

"Okay, go and rest if you have nothing else to do, you should leave tomorrow."

Gabriel moved slowly, and after walking four or five meters, he couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Du Wei, "Brother, why didn't you help the eldest prince like your father, but chose to help the eldest prince?" Prince Chen?" Gabriel's words were faintly full of blame, and he even felt aggrieved in his heart and wanted to ask, brother, why didn't you help your father?If you are willing to help, brother, maybe everything will be different now!

Of course Gabriel didn't know that on the day of the coup, even before the coup, Du Wei had already been involved in the game between the First Prince and Prince Chen, and Du Wei never had a choice.From the day he was recalled back to the imperial capital, everyone pushed Du Wei step by step to Prince Chen's side, consciously or unconsciously.On the day of the coup, Du Wei broke up with the family in public, and his original intention was to better protect the family!These are all things Gabriel doesn't know and can't understand clearly.

Du Wei sighed. Gabriel had never asked such a question in his previous life, but perhaps he had always had such a question in his heart. "Gabriel, even if I say it, you can't understand it now." In fact, whether it is in terms of temperament, scheming, strategy, or foresight, the eldest prince is not as good as Prince Chen. If we only talk about the future of the empire, Prince Chen is obviously the best candidate to rule.Moreover, as far as Du Wei's current personal feelings are concerned, he is definitely helping Prince Chen. It is already the limit of what he can do to protect Earl Raymond against Prince Chen's anger.

Gabriel was obviously quite dissatisfied with the answer, hummed twice, and then walked away without looking back, but his impression of Prince Chen was greatly discounted in his heart.

Du Wei looked at the back of his brother leaving, helpless, alas, children nowadays are really difficult to coax.By the way, what was he thinking before?Oh, the distance between the imperial capital and the northwest is too far, how should he show his presence to Chen all the time... I can't let Chen forget him in a blink of an eye, can I?

——Lord Duke Tulip, you are really worrying too much.Anyone who is angry with you so viciously and loses face greatly, and then molested by you for a while, will not easily forget you, even if that person is the wise and great king regent who has always been well-cultivated It's the same, Your Highness.

The view shifted back to the Palace of the Regent that day.

Prince Chen was really shocked for a while by Du Wei's hand kiss and oath of allegiance.This is actually understandable. You must know that Prince Chen, who is the only second prince of the empire, has been loved by the emperor since he was a child, and others have respected him. Dare to get too close to him presumptuously.

Du Wei's hand kiss can be said to be the first time that Prince Chen has been treated lightly in the past twenty years. Well, this word seems a bit wrong... Cough cough, all in all, Prince Chen was really shocked by Du Wei, So Prince Chen basically didn't notice what Du Wei said, until Du Wei's expression gradually changed from sincere to playful, then he came back to his senses.

Prince Chen withdrew his hand that was still held by Du Wei expressionlessly, wondering if he should wipe it with a handkerchief, but Du Wei still maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, but he had a smile that was not a smile It can only be described in two words.For the first time, His Royal Highness, Prince Chen, who is always gentle and elegant, was thinking about whether he really should ask someone to beat up this bastard who pushes his feet - if he can't do anything else, it's still possible to relieve his hatred, right?

"Your Highness, if you have no other orders, I will leave first." Du Wei felt that he had a good day today.She saved her own father, saw Chen's furious side, and even got a little closer to Chen, um, it's really good.

Prince Chen decisively threw Du Wei out of the palace.

When the attendant came to report that Duke Tulip had left the palace, Prince Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and went to the study, asking them to tidy up the messy room that he smashed.The matter of the coup d'état has basically come to an end, but there are still many things that need to be dealt with by Prince Chen. He didn't rest for a long time, and then started to deal with official duties again.

Under his pen, the execution orders for the nobles who participated in the coup were handed down one after another. When it came to Earl Raymond, Prince Chen remembered Du Wei's oath: "I, Du Wei Rollin Rudolph, am loyal to you Chen Augustine alone".There was a smile and a hint of coldness on the lips, Du Wei, no matter you heard his words when he was in a hurry and said something along the way, or it was your sincerity, since you said it out of your mouth, He will take it seriously.

Du Wei, if one day in the future, you break your oath, Chen Augustine will never remember to promise you again.
