【Where are you going? 】
"Go find Randolph, I have to get some information from him. I believe that the behavior of the Grand Duke of Brittany is not aimless. He must have a precondition triggered before he suddenly finds Charles, and I Now we have to find that precondition before we can know how to respond.”
Claude closed the door and walked into the bustling crowd.
-------------------------------------------------- ----
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Randolph rushed out of the house excitedly.
"I want to trouble you with something." Claude didn't mean to be polite. "That's right, Charles came to me just now and told me that the Grand Duke of Brittany asked him to return to his fief immediately to learn aristocratic etiquette, and he also applied for a one-year suspension from the Imperial Military University-I think this is a bit strange , so I want to ask you for help."
"Boss, do you want to know the tone of the nobles?"
Randolph's senses were keen.
"Yes, I always wonder if something happened to his family." Claude looked a little serious, "You know, His Royal Highness Ludwig has always been at odds with the nobles, and of course I have no friendship with them, so I want to trouble you."
"You know, Boss, my dad doesn't allow me to get involved in matters related to intelligence. The intelligence of those former classmates is his last help to me on the path of knighthood. I really haven't heard of such new information. A little news."
Randolph looked a little hesitant. His father kept his work and life very separate—but he soon thought of a way.
"I have a solution. I'll go find Erwin. We have quite a lot of friends. Accurate information may be difficult, but this kind of secret between nobles sounds easy - after all, the relationship between nobles There are no secrets to keep."
Claude looked happy, and nodded: "Great, I'll trouble you then, I don't want to find out that Charles is on the opposite side of us inexplicably in the future."
Randolph nodded. Although he had only communicated with Charles for a while, he found that Charles was quite to his liking, and he didn't want everyone to stand on different positions in the future—especially in Brittany. When the family has a way to kill.
The two left here side by side, then separated, and went to different places. Randolph was going to find Erwin to treat him, and Claude had to go back to his home to continue to improve the intelligence reserve.
Nothing out of the ordinary happened.
-------------------------------------------------- ----
"A young man, about 20 years old, came to look for Claude Kaos. Before he went in, his expression was a little anxious. After he came out, he looked around suspiciously, but his expression was no longer anxious. It didn't take long for Claude De went out, and then returned home again about an hour later and didn't go out again."
"A young man came to look for Randolph, the son of Nicholas, the chief of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau. The two went out together not long after, but soon separated."
"There is a young man who came to look for Irwin, the son of Albert, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, and then left together."
"Irwin, the son of Albert, the Minister of Finance of the Empire, held a banquet at the Dahlia Villa. Most of the people who came to the party were long-sleeved and dancing noble courtesans, but only one boy came with Irwin. I have never seen him before. From this person, I only know that he is Erwin's classmate, and he is called Randolph. And this Randolph is obviously interested in the Breton family, and the most words from his mouth are "Brittany family" and "Brittany family". 【The illegitimate child】"
Scattered information flows from all corners of the imperial capital to their only central point. Anyone who faces these horrifyingly diverse and confusing information will feel his scalp tingle, but only the painter The lady is very happy with it.
This is how she hides her informants, they only know people who need to be watched by themselves, they only need to report about the behavior of this person, other than that, they don't need to know or think at all, just be their face Don't do anything inappropriate because of any behavior of the other party - and then deliver the recorded text on time.
They won't know the importance of intelligence, and of course they won't have any subjective initiative, and naturally there's no risk of exposure—that's all she needs them to do, after all, she doesn't trust anyone else's abilities except her own.
"Claude, Randolph, Erwin, so the illegitimate son of the Breton family... Charles Breton? That's right, after all, he also joined Claude's 107th team. Then there is still a gap Olgi... He went back to his hometown after the holiday. Then the person who came to you should be Charles, let me think about it, why did he come to Claude so anxiously?"
Everyone in the robe reached out to another pile of information, which was about the movements of the great nobles.
"The Grand Duke of Brittany... Oh, by the way, he wanted to take Charles away from the imperial capital, but left his own son in the imperial capital, and continued to act as a default hostage... Interesting, very interesting, it seems that I kind of The seeds planted will eventually bear fruit."
She nodded in satisfaction, then looked back at the information about Claude in her hand.
"So when Charles came to you, he told you that he was leaving? So you want Randolph and Erwin to investigate why Charles was taken away? Unfortunately, this kind of thing is not something that two young people rely on A secret that can be revealed by holding a noble salon."
The robed man shook his head. Obviously, it was impossible for Claude to find out the truth. After all, this was a plan he had prepared for many years. How could it be guessed by the other party?
"But... why did Charles Breton tell you this? When he came to see you, his expression was anxious. He was obviously very anxious to tell you. He looked at you suspiciously when he left, because he was worried that someone would Found—then why didn’t the other party pay attention before coming? Did you remind him to be careful when he came to see you? But isn’t it normal for you to meet, why should you worry about being seen by others?”
The robed man picked up a portrait of Claude and placed it on the information booklet.
"Before, Miss Dania of Saxony actually visited your house in private. There were no guards entering, just the two of you... This is not something that two people who only met once would do, especially It was after you got engaged to her best friend's sister. Counting that time when you met, Miss Dania was almost blatantly flirting-it seems that you only used that one meeting to conquer this future girl. Grand Duke?"
"So, does His Highness Christina know about these things? Will you report them to her? Or, will she order you to do these things—even if so, not at all?"
She laughed softly.
"At first I was still wondering why you chose to move out of the Ludwig Manor. It turns out that you also have a deep secret, Mr. Claude, I am really more and more curious about your relationship with Christina—because you see Get up, you don't seem to want Christina to notice your little actions?"
The man in the robe stroked the stack of information books that were quite thin compared to the others, the portrait of Claude
"I'm about to reveal what kind of person I am, Claude Kaos..."

"Boss, I'm sorry, we couldn't ask anything useful last night."
On the second day, when Randolph found Claude again, the expression on his face was a little ashamed.
"I didn't ask anything... what do you mean?"
Claude was a little puzzled.
"Ervin and I had dinner with many people yesterday, but when we asked about the Brittany family, everyone was at a loss. There was no breaking news about this family, and everything was normal. Even Breton Grand Duke Tani's sons are still staying in the imperial capital, saying that they will not go back this year, and just wait for the start of school."
Randolph spread his hands helplessly.
"What did you say? The son of the Grand Duke of Brittany will stay in the imperial capital forever, and won't return to the principality this year?"
Claude was taken aback in his heart, but on the surface he just pretended to be slightly interested.
"Yeah, that idiot, I guess he has been thinking about doing this for a long time. He can't do anything when he returns to the Principality with his father watching over him. What he wants is to stay in the imperial capital and be happy. Some people say that he has already asked his father for it. He paid a large sum of money, and waited for his father to return to the fief after the nobles' annual meeting, and was going to have a good time for two months before school started."
Randolph said with a little disdain.
"Why did the Grand Duke of Brittany want to bring Charles back to Brittany, but let his son stay in the imperial capital..."
Claude scratched his head.
"Randolph, is there anyone else I can ask?"
"Indeed, there are none. After all, the annual meeting of the nobles has all but disappeared, and those nobles who went to Beijing are preparing to return, and the pre-departure banquets are all over, so there is really no good occasion to ask. "
Randolph was also a little helpless, after all, this was the first time Claude asked him to do something seriously, but the result was not satisfactory.
"Oh? The nobles are all ready to go back..." Claude narrowed his eyes, "Did they go back so early in previous years?"
"Is it early? I don't know about it. I haven't paid attention to it before, but the annual meeting of the nobles is over. It's fine for them to stay in the imperial capital, and it's fine for them to go back, right?"
Randolph was a little dazed.
"That's right, but I'm a little helpless on Charles' side. I can only hope that he can keep his heart."
Claude sighed.
"Don't worry, Captain, it won't be a big deal - and I also believe that Charles is capable of facing any problem."
Randolph reassured.
"I hope so."
"I also believe in Charles."
Claude nodded, his face full of determination.
Watching Randolph's figure disappear into the street, Claude closed the door without changing his expression.
[You don't seem to be too worried about this problem? 】
"Because the behavior of the other party just looks a little strange-I suspect that this grand duke, like the old emperor, decided to give up after seeing his eldest son as a stick, and began to cultivate his valued younger son."
Claude sat down.
"However, this is not in line with what Charles told me before. He said that the Grand Duke of Brittany took an attitude that was almost indifferent to and didn't pay much attention to, but the other party brought him back to the fief. Studying for a whole year, even my own son stayed in the imperial capital and continued to waste a year... This is basically a means of changing heirs."
[Could it be that... Charles lied to you? 】
"Probably not, he has no reason to lie to me."
The boy shook his head in denial.
"Because he really married that childhood sweetheart, the commoner sister, as his wife. If he lied to me because he wanted to inherit the Principality of Brittany, then there is no need for Mingmei to marry that girl—but if he doesn't want to inherit that seat, what does he have? Is it necessary to hide the Grand Duke's attitude towards him from me?"
[Indeed, if Charles really concealed it, then no matter what the situation is, it would be inconsistent... So could this be the Duke of Brittany's disguise?He had been pretending not to care about Charles before, but in fact he valued him very much, but why?Why should he do this? 】
"It's actually not difficult to explain, and it can even be said that the logical relationship is very simple."
Claude shook his head.
"You ignore a very critical issue - that is age."
【age? 】
"Charles is only 22 years old, and Randolph said before that the grand duke of Brittany's sons are still studying at Imperial University, so he is obviously only in his 20s - in other words, the age of the Grand Duke of Brittany will not be too old. Too big, about 40 years old at the most, as a powerful fief noble, he should be in his prime, why should he be so anxious to determine his heir?"
Claude stood on the table with his hands, propping his chin.
"Any high-ranking person will never hope that his heir is the only one when he is strong - because in that case, the other party will obviously stare at him. The royal family is the most obvious example. And If you find a more realistic comparison, Miss Dania's situation is normal."
"The situation of the Grand Duke of Saxony is almost exactly the same as that of the Grand Duke of Brittany, and he is already very old—even so, he still has no position on his heir to his eldest son who is almost 40 years old. Dania, actually started to support her immediately, even before I went, Dania was not really regarded by the Grand Duke as a possible heir, but in terms of momentum, the other party is obviously qualified to break up with the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Saxony Arm wrestling."
【So, what do you mean, as a superior, the Grand Duke of Brittany should not and cannot allow himself to have only one heir? 】
"It's absolutely correct, so that's why I asked Randolph to find some information—his motives are correct, but he is a little too eager in terms of action. Why are you so anxious to train Shire?" Crowder explained. Said, "It's about the inheritance rights of a principality. No matter how well this kind of thing is hidden, there will be some rumors, at least some unusual actions, but obviously no one has noticed that there is something strange happening in Brittany. That’s what surprised me the most.”
【You mean, the Grand Duke of Brittany hid it well? 】
"Perhaps. After all, he is an illegitimate child, and his face is not very decent. After all, this group of guys only have this kind of thing left to maintain."
Claude shrugged indifferently.
"Well, Gorman has now been convinced by me. A man who is ready to burn everything for his country will not give others a chance to destroy my plan. After all, he and I have the same interests-this is my Reasons to like trading."
【Then... just leave it alone? 】
"It doesn't matter, I don't want to care about anything now, I just want to wait to see Gutenberg and Leicht explode themselves, the big one is coming, who cares about those dead bones in the grave."
Claude leaned back in his chair leisurely.
"Touched!"

The man in the robe looked at the record in front of him a little tangled.
"Claude didn't go out today."
"Claude didn't go out today."
"Claude went out to buy food, and bought it without bargaining."
"Claude didn't go out today."
"Claude didn't go out today."
