The Amber Sword: Act 291 The first round of confrontation
The first round of confrontation in Act 291
"It's a hero to be a boy!" Lockwood sighed.
"Mr. Brando ..."
"Just call me Brando." Brando interrupted her and replied.
"Brando, I want to hear your opinion on the current situation, can you?" Princess Gryphine put his hands on the desk, gently holding a white porcelain tea cup -- black tea slightly rippling, shaped like a crystal surface with ripples -- She had raises head, her eyes were bright, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be plated with silver.
Brando's eyes one by one swept over everyone in the study, royalist was calm and steady, Her Highness the Princess seemed naive and actually smart, only Little Prince seemed to be a little afraid to hide behind that noble and carefully looked at him; there was only one sharp The cold eyes kept on him, Brando looked at him in the past, and saw that the black hair Female Knight -- standing behind Gryphine seemed to be called Nemesis. Brando was agitated every time he saw this woman.
He looks away.
"IMHO, for royalist, there is no situation at this time." Brando replied bluntly, "The north has long turned to Archduke Sifah, the two major legion -- White Lion Legion and Black Blade Legion of the kingdom are in the north. noble, and Southern Legion was attacked by Madara. The system is unknown until now. Count of Radnor has not signed an agreement with Insidolon. I am afraid that is why.
He paused and wanted to say that although Viero, Callas and Archduke of Golan-Elsen led three shires in the south, they were all soy sauces, and there was a huge disparity between north and south. In fact, only the Princess collar raised the Corcova flag; the cold winter blocked the north legion south However, as long as the snow and ice melt, the hope of maintaining the Princess will collapse.
But Correct royalist chose the same reason as Anlieke, so he didn't press.
"The kingdom is surrounded by powerful enemies, and the situation is in danger. The Ampere Searl conference is not yours. In fact, I am afraid that you are also trying to persuade Ampere Searl's Merchant Union and Holy Cathedral to be neutral instead of actually participating in this conference, right?" Brando asked back.
There was a moment of silence in the study, and everyone was surprised when they looked at Brando's. The situation in the Kingdom has changed a lot since the death of Oberg VII, but to this day, sighted people can see through the weakness of royalist at a glance; but Brando can guess their true purpose from behind the appearance, which is extraordinary. -- people They all thought that they wanted to use the power of Anlieke to make a round at the Ampere Searl conference, but the youngster in front of them broke their minds without any hesitation.
Makarov and Lockwood are all slightly cold, thinking that the youngster in front of them will be terrible if they are enemies. Only Oberbeck glanced at Brando with great appreciation. After all, Brando was selected by him from the crowd who escaped from Rydenburg. The better the Brando, the more proof he has.
Gryphine's eyes are also praising. She looks at Brando's as if looking at the closest person --, because no one knows that there is a layer of secret between her and Brando. When half-elven girl responded to the Brando's letter, she was told by Oberbeck and her The influence of that 'story' may not have a little girl yearning for the Knight-like romantic heart -- plus royalist tossed about by wind and rain at the time, or because of the consideration of buying golden horse bones, she was privately sealed Brando as one's own Knight .
Her Highness the Princess This year is only seventeen years old, and it is not yet the time to push everything into luck, but in addition to luck, there is only a destiny in the bottom of the world.
Think of it, half-elven girl also has a slight movement in her heart.
"I have seen Princess Magdelle, and I heard she is a close friend of Her Highness the Princess." Brando replied. But in fact he knows that the real purpose of royalist is not for this reason. History is like a big open book before him. The noble class of Aouine stale and rotten cannot escape his eyes in this era, let alone royalist A 'scheme' on the table. The reason why he said so is that he doesn't want to be seen as a monster.
Makarov, Lockwood and Oberbeck nodded slightly. Based on the relationship between Nun-Princess and Holy Cathedral, and the influence of Holy Cathedral in Merchant Union, it is not difficult to guess the connection. However, when everyone put their eyes on the Conference of Nobles of Fengyunjihui, the youngster's eyes still missed the surrounding details. This calmness and keenness are considered first-class talents in noble.
"You guessed right, Mr. Brando. Correct is so, my brother ’s army stepped into the south from the north, there are only two ways to go --. If we get the support of Holy Cathedral and Merchant Union --, at least let them remain neutral, then the north nobles has to cross the mountains -- of Anlieke "
"So you intend to marry Anlieke. In this way, no matter how aggressive the noble in the North is, you have to face reality. In the mountain operations, they are not Anlieke opponents. In this way, the North and South are vulnerable, and the security is not secure. The Viero, Golan-Elsen, Callas three shires under consideration will be tied to royalist -- or Anlieke tanks if they are guaranteed. Advance and attack, retreat and defend. In the long run, the Corcova royal family must be ZTE. "
Brando raises head, there is no joy in my eyes: "Then I congratulate Her Highness the Princess beforehand."
"What do you think is wrong?" Gryphine turned pale, Brando's seemed insignificant to royalist, but it was important in her mind. She faintly felt that Brando may know her true self. The goal -- she insisted on since childhood has run counter to royalist, but only one person in the entire Aouine understands her. This man is right in front of her.
She thought he could understand her sacrifice.
Compared to this understanding, the others are insignificant --
She saw the shining light from Brando. The belief she had always supported, was like another beacon seen in the storm, the kind that found her companion in the dark and solitary wilderness. Surprise is beyond words. Brando It is not difficult for her to see the same persistence in her letters or in his actions, but this person is now looking at herself with a cold face.
Her Highness the Princess took a light breath, "Can you tell me the reason?" Her tone was very soft, but it was not difficult to see a little dissatisfaction under the eyebrow. If Brando could not give her a satisfactory answer, it must be the Her Highness the Princess disappointed.
It's just like pride in rumors. Brando thought, but without this kind of character, I couldn't stick to this step.
"There are a few questions," he answered.
Oberbeck Pico raises head, in fact he is not very supportive of this plan. However, Lockwood and Makarov agree very much. Lockwood plays an important role in royalist, and it is the only Element-rank strongest in royalist. On the other side, Makarov also represents the opinions of the allies, and he cannot tolerate his objection.
"First, Holy Cathedral of Fire and Holy Cathedral of Earth are about to go to war. Kirrlutzian is probably unhappy that Aouine is at this time. Although Aouinian is no longer at the mercy of Kirrlutzian since ** autonomy, we have to admit that we are also Holy Cathedral of Fire Brando replied, "At this time, although it is impossible for Holy Cathedral to intervene in the kingdom's internal affairs, it is still possible to open the door of convenience for nobles in the north. After all, to the outsiders, the strength of the north is far. Winning the South, the fastest way to end this kingdom's war is undoubtedly to let the North win the victory as soon as possible -- "
"We can't think about this, youngster," Lockwood finally spoke at this time, and Brando's doubts on him caused the goodwill he had just established to pass away. "But once Archduke of Anlieke and royalist join forces, northerner is not so easy to win. If Holy Cathedral intervenes arbitrarily, it will only lead to a larger-scale civil war. Besides, at this time, Torquine Leonin is far from ready for food. The war between Holy Cathedral of Fire and Holy Cathedral of Earth is even more nonsense. Talked. "
Brando keeps quiet because he knows this is history. The history of royalist Correct is such a comeback, but he still has a real reason, but this reason is really hard to say. could it be that Can he say that Anlieke is not good intentions? The problem is that royalist is not a fool. They naturally know that Anlieke has no good intentions. Her Highness the Princess is fighting in the fire. She thinks she can succeed.
But history proves she failed.
But Brando can't say this kind of failure, he can't always say that I come from the future, am I a psychic?
He was silent for a while, the disappointment on Gryphine's face grew stronger. She shook her fist with imperceptibility, and even for a moment hoped that Brando could prove that she was wrong. The 17-year-old Her Highness the Princess could n’t sleep at night every day for weeks. She knew she was walking a tightrope, but She convinced herself that she had to go.
The study room fell into silence for a while. Freya was a little disturbed. Although she knew much more than before, she didn't understand the argument between Brando and royalist. This girl from Bucce's is even a little annoyed, thinking that this abominable guy around her only knows to cause trouble, even if she doesn't agree, don't say it in front of others.
After all, her heart is still toward Brando's. Compared to the life and death of royalist, she cares more about the safety of Brando's.
Both Oberbeck and Makarov felt that the atmosphere was a bit subtle, but they couldn't help but be dissatisfied with Brando. They felt that this youngster was a bit exaggerated and even exaggerated. But there was only one surprised look among the people for a moment on Brando. No one even noticed this look. Nemesis quickly became as usual, as if nothing had happened.
Just at this awkward moment, the knock on the door rang. The eyes of the crowd shifted accordingly. A servant brought a letter from the door. The Her Highness the Princess opened the letter and saw frowned. She paused, put the letter on the desk, and then broke the silence: "The result of the morning came out."
Everyone was shocked. Of course they knew that it was the result of the investigation on the assassination in the morning, but they did not expect that Holy Cathedral's hands and feet were so fast, but they only found the behind-the-scenes two or three hours. There was only Makarov frowned among the crowd, and it seemed to be thinking of something.
Brando couldn't help raising his ears. The morning assassination obviously changed history, and he also wanted to know what was behind it.
"The ambassador is called Sisyphus."
Oberbeck frowned: "I know this person, it is a small noble of Ampere Searl." As soon as he finished, he changed his face. To be able to make such an assassination, the characters behind it will certainly not be simple, and no one will believe that a small noble can stand up to such a big wave. This unfortunate man is clearly a dead ghost, but the results of this investigation were taken from the hands of Holy Cathedral, and the problem was even greater.
for a moment, everyone's face is a bit hard to look at. Only Brando looks as usual, as if I had expected this result.
Brando Although he didn't know what went wrong, he saw the cross assassin in the morning and knew that there must be Holy Cathedral inside.
"The letter also mentioned Mr. Brando." After a pause, Gryphine added another sentence, "The letter said that Mr. Brando not only brought weapons into the sacred temple, but also that his two men were still Descendants of the Blood. Holy Cathedral suspected that Mr. Brando was related to Demonic Cultist. I hope we surrender him and let him cooperate with the Holy Cathedral investigation. "
After reading this paragraph, Aouine's Her Highness the Eldest Princess already looks as iron.
Brando is also tight in heart, but more angry. He hasn't gone to the trouble of Holy Cathedral of Fire yet, but he didn't expect that the other party should aim at him first. It was too bullying, but he didn't attack, but he was going to look at the response of royalist first.
At this time, Oberbeck chuckled: "Holy Cathedral does not allow us to carry weapons, but it is very loose for assassins. When did Descendants of the Blood become the evidence of being affiliated with Demonic Cultist? Aouine is next to Madara. Archduke is surrounded by dark noble from Madara in exile, right? "
royalist takes this Lone Wolf seriously, they all look disdainful.
"Her Highness the Princess?" the attendant asked quietly.
"Aouinian has never given customers a precedent in Kirrlutzian, let alone such a nonsense excuse," Her Highness the Princess coldly replied: "It is just someone who wants to test our relationship, you just need to answer them directly Just go and tell them that Mr. Brando is ours and cannot be an assassin. "
Brando watched the attendant withdraw from the study, and couldn't help but touch it slightly. Although he knows that there is a composition in the show, at least the attitude of royalist at this moment is clear. He looked at Oberbeck and the others, and his prejudice that had just arisen because of the previous argument was to vanish.
"It seems that Holy Cathedral's attitude is not as neutral as you think." But he still couldn't help but sneer and looked at the royalist people. After all, he is not a real politician, and still has the gloating factor of Sophie in his bones.
half-elven girl's brow sank in sorrow. She sighed slightly. -- was helpless to make Brando feel a little sad, but she no longer tangled in this issue. "Mr. Brando, we are not in a good position. -- makes you laugh. But anyway, we still want your help ..."
"You are a Highland Knight, so I would like to ask you to win the support of Highland Knight for us, may I?" Her Highness the Princess put down her body and asked in a pleasurable tone. She also saw that Brando was not malicious to royalist, but there was some misunderstanding in her opinion, but she believed that the final result would prove that she was right.
Brando shook his head.
"You all know that Highland Knight is not the same as you, and I can support you personally. But it may not be easy to get their full approval." Although he is not a real Highland Knight, he must pretend to be this identity. Come, confidence can be stunned by the smartest people. In fact, even if Ciel is here, we can't pick out the slightest fault from the Brando's speech.
Everyone at royalist knows that Brando is telling the truth and ca n’t help but nodded heavily. Fortunately, Brando also controls Trentheim. This inconspicuous little place is now the key to restricting Count of Radnor. Otherwise, everyone of royalist member will doubt whether it is wise for them to turn their faces for this youngster and Holy Cathedral.
"But it is not impossible to imagine," Brando smiled suddenly: "Callas suffered the deepest harm from Madara. The already attitude of noble in the north caused Highland Knight's dissatisfaction. As long as you show them goodwill, they must be willing. Back to royalist, but the key is the situation, after all, no one wants to join the ranks of the losers. "
Gryphine nodded. Why didn't she know that, but the problem was not so simple. Regarding the Brando's proposal, she only needs to listen to it. The meeting between royalist and Brando is actually for Highland Knight. Now that she hopes to fail, the Her Highness the Princess suddenly feels that she is working hard.
She glanced at the hourglass quietly, it was close to the start of Conference of Nobles.
"Mr. Brando, I still have one last personal question. I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer it?" Gryphine raises head, watching Brando finally asked.
Brando nodded.
"You and Swallowburg ...? "She has always been concerned about this issue, although she thinks Brando Yes Delfhyr Family, because at least Swallowburg Not yet turned Royalist Faction If as subordinate Brando's What he did was obvious -- Not to mention selfishness, Gryphine Also recognized Brando should be one's own Knight . But what she cares about is Brando versus Swallowburg Family That person Young Lady Relationship.
With her shrewdness, I can't think of how great it would be if Swallowburg could be pulled into the one's own camp.
"No, in fact, I have nothing to do with Lord Count. On the contrary, in fact, I just forced her to take me into the venue." Brando smiled slightly and answered truthfully.
Everyone is stunned.
"Although it is a bit rude to say so, after all, the invitation letter to the meeting is only sent to Archduke of Callas. As a small Highland Knight, I am not eligible to enter Wylicce Manor. I think you should be considerate of your hardships as youngster." Brando shook his head and added Got it.
The people in royalist just reacted. for a moment looked at Brando's and couldn't help but looked a little weird. Under the eyelids of Holy Cathedral, he hijacked and coerced noble. This guy's courage was big enough. If it wasn't possible, they would have doubted whether the assassins in the morning were really related to this youngster.
However, Her Highness the Princess smiled a little. She didn't believe Brando's at all. The reason is very simple. -- she and Delfhyr were close friends. In the morning, all the ghosts could see that the Young Countess was obviously concerned about Brando's. The abducted person would Concerned about robbers? It may be possible, but by no means on that occasion. However, she did not intend to expose the poor lie of Brando, but smiled: "It is very human and very extraordinary. Your behavior in Trentheim already has given us a vivid lesson. But I did not expect to have just arrived at Ampere Searl, and you gave me again. A surprise -- was only Delfhyr. She was a bit pitiful. Mr. Brando didn't even know Lianxiangxiyu at all. "
Brando was reminded by Princess Gryphine before thinking of Young Countess's resentful look, and I couldn't help sweating for a moment.
This is not intentional. He said that he didn't know that Young Countess was a soft girl beforehand.
But at the same time he sighed slightly, watching Princess Gryphine's calm face again, Brando knew that his persuasion was a failure. Although he didn't have much hope at all, compared to royalist, he was an outsider after all. If the Her Highness the Eldest Princess changed his mind just because of his few words, then he would doubt whether the half-elven girl was a fake.
Think of it, Brando can only prepare for next step. However, vaguely, he had a vaguely unpredictable feeling. The attitude of Holy Cathedral not only made the Princess group feel astonished, but also greatly exceeded his expectations. Great Deacon Wood's promise is especially in his ears. He never expected that Holy Cathedral of Fire would be so fast.
There must be something wrong here.
