My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 9 The plot against the nobles

Leaving Bonita behind, Gervais came to the dining room, where Gandalf and Dries were already there.

Gervais walked over to the dining table. In the noble restaurant of this world, there will never be a shortage of a long table. The long table in his house is about five or six meters. Usually, if there are no guests, there are only four people. Sitting on it to eat, it looks very empty.

Although it is already midnight, but because of the words of the nobleman, the kitchen has already prepared dishes like a dinner. Of course, the dish was a bit shabby, with a long piece of white bread, a large piece of uncut prosciutto on a large copper platter, and a bowl of mushroom soup that was a little oily.

“Huh?” Suddenly, Gervais let out a surprised sound, because he saw a whole roasted chicken on the dining table, and the heat was just right at first glance, and he could smell it when he got closer. A burst of aroma emanated from the roast chicken.

It’s no wonder that Gervais was so surprised, because for nearly a month, all he saw on the table was the same old thing, bread, ham, and mushroom soup. At first, Gervais was also very puzzled. The dignified Lord Baron, a feudal lord lived in such a shabby life. Could it be that there is a shortage of supplies in this world?

But after he merged more and more memories of the original owner, he knew the answer. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the reason why the dignified Lord Baron saves so much is because of their three siblings.

For the sake of his three children, Lord Baron Gandalf spent huge sums of money on a mutated saphire blue spiritworm, exactly the same spiritworm that countess gave to Gervais.

The price of saphire blue spiritworm is very expensive because it can accelerate the speed of cultivation Battle Qi. The price of a saphire blue spiritworm is generally around 1000gold coin, but there is still no market for it.

Don’t underestimate 1000 gold coins, for an ordinary Baron collar, 1000 gold coin equivalent to 5 years’ tax sum.

Of course this is after taxes paid to the church.

Purchasing this spiritworm almost empties Gandalf.

The spiritworm was bought in the spring, it’s summer, and taxes don’t start until the fall.

So during this period of time, the cost of the castle needs to be reduced. Of course, there is no objection to the three siblings, but the soul possessed by Gervais is suffering.

Gervais hurriedly walked to the table with the jade box in his hand and sat down in his own seat. He couldn’t wait for such a big roast chicken.

“father, how’s the big flower?” Gandalf sat in the main seat on the long table, Gervais and Dreis sat opposite each other.

Gervais glanced at Dreiss, who looked a little depressed and absent-minded.

Gervais didn’t bother to pay attention to him either. In the past, Dreis had eyes on the top of his head.

Gervais looked towards Gandalf again, and asked Gandalf with a happy face.

While talking, a servant had already brought tableware, Gervais took the knife, fork, and plate from the servant, cut the whole chicken leg from the roast chicken, put it on his plate and ate it. .

Gandalf is in a good mood today, and he doesn’t get angry when he sees Gervais cutting food like this. Usually, if he sees Gervais and the others being so rude at the dinner table, he will inevitably have to say a few more words.

“Dahua gave birth smoothly and is a stallion. Today our Gale family is blessed by God!”

“Congratulations father!” Gervais ate, listening to After reaching Gandalf’s words, he complimented him.

paused and continued: “father, I want to ask, do you know why Alice chooses her husband among the vassals and heirs?”

Time is running out, Gervais is not polite, here There was no outsider, so he asked without shyness.

“hmph!” Gandalf didn’t say a word, but Dris, who didn’t expect to sit opposite, stood up, angrily snorted, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Gervais and Gandalf looked at each other in blank dismay , but Gandalf reacted a moment later and put down his knife and fork.

“Father, ignore him, let’s keep talking about business, I’m going to the territory tomorrow! It’s better to know these things earlier.”

“Otherwise I’ll always feel uneasy. .”

Gandalf was just about to scold Dreis, but Gervais stopped him immediately. It’s already midnight, and after a few more tossing, it will be dawn.

As for Dereth, according to the original owner’s memory, the cheap brother was not bad to his brother before, just from being able to stand up for him at the banquet, it can be seen that it is estimated that what happened tonight will be bad for him. The impact is too great, and the mentality is unbalanced for a while.

This is a very normal thing. If you want to be Gervais himself, it will probably take two days to get tired of seeing others who are both knights and territories.

“I can’t hold my breath with such a little thing, how can I become a qualified noble!” Gandalf scowled.

“father, qualified nobles also grow from unqualified!”

Gervais is serious.

Gandalf stopped talking about Dries after hearing what Gervais said. He also knew that the matter of his second son was important, so he said to Gervais: “Actually, this is not a secret. Lord count has called us to explain the reason.”

“This matter has to be learned from the old count. Speaking of, some time ago, the old count suddenly disappeared in the castle, and there is no clue.”

“The old count is a golden Peak Knight, and has reached the highest stage of since ancient times, and the entire Eurasian continent is a golden peak. There are no more than 10 people in the powerhouse above the level of Knight. But such a powerhouse has disappeared silently.”

Gervais startled, the gold high-level Knight is equivalent to the nuclear weapon on Earth in this world, and has gold Advanced Knights are equivalent to having a nuclear deterrent.

I can imagine how terrifying the consequences of the silent disappearance of a nuclear weapon will be.

“Because of the disappearance of the old count, Alice count had to come back from the capital to inherit the title, because she is the only daughter of the old count!”

“Let the count The reason why my lord was forced to choose a husband was the Second Prince Chad Jean of the capital. The Second Prince was very ambitious, but because he was the second son of the king, he could not inherit the throne. Because of the old count, he did not dare to go too far. Now that the old count is missing, Sir Alice has inherited the title again, and the Second Prince has proposed to the king that he wants to marry Sir Alice.”

Speaking, Gandalf paused. After a while, he took a knife and cut a piece of prosciutto meat, and put it in his own production tray before continuing.

“Don’t leak the following words. The Second Prince gave the king the marriage. It was the First Prince who notified the count through a secret letter, so the count would be so anxious to get married. If the king’s will arrives, Then even Lord Count can’t go against the king’s will.”

So that’s how it is, Gervais looked thoughtful, no wonder Alice was so anxious, even if the First Prince’s secret letter was delivered to Alice sooner, but There is certainly not much time left for him. If he does not hurry up to find someone to marry, then when the time comes, there is no reason to refuse the king’s marriage.

Unless you directly oppose it, but against the monarch you are loyal to, it is like a mutiny. The consequences are very serious, but is this king a fool? If the Second Prince’s strength is strengthened, he will not fight the First Prince to the death.

Since this world stipulates the line of succession and cannot be changed, what kind of medicine does the king take to allow his two sons to bring disaster to Xiao Qiang.

Besides, his forcible marriage will definitely make the nobles feel a sense of crisis.

“Father, isn’t the king afraid that Second Prince and First Prince will kill each other after marrying Alice?” Gervais asked in confusion.

“You’re wrong, Gervais! The King is also a Gold High Knight! As long as he lives, both the First Prince and the Second Prince are under his control.”

“Count Jones occupies 1/4/2022 of the most fertile lands in the kingdom, and also has unique and unmatched potion roses.”

“There used to be an old Count, and no one dared to act rashly, but the old Count was there before. After the count has been missing for so long, the king can’t stand it! As long as the Second Prince can marry Alice, after several decades, this fertile land will belong to the Jean family.”

Gandalf eats himself The prosciutto meat on the plate was delicious and answered Gervais’ questions while eating it.

“Now that Alice is married to you, this will no longer happen. Even if the will reaches the territory, I believe the herald will not dare to announce it.”

“Because that would Let the Imperial Family disgrace! You don’t have to worry too much, for the king or Second Prince, you are too weak, like an ant under an eagle, they will not pay attention to you!”

Hearing this, Gervais was a little relieved, and Gandalf had a point. Gervais was too small for the King and Second Prince, just a pawn that Alice used to stop them from taking Count Jones’s lead.

Even without Gervais, countess can find Anvis, Ganvis. Of course, if Gervais is not a vassal of Alice’s family, but a great noble.

Then, the king will definitely receive strong revenge, because if any great noble associates with Alice at this time and destroys the king’s plan, that is to form an alliance with Alice against the king, and the nature will be completely different. .

But even though I’m still a little ant in their eyes at the moment, I have to be careful.

After all, the history on Earth told him that sometimes the superiors disdain to care about the ants, but there are always some henchman who will come to the trouble of the ants in order to curry favor with the master.

“Then father, why doesn’t the king use the martial power to fight for the territory?”

After admonishing himself not to be careless, Gervais continued to ask Gandalf questions, but when the sentence was asked, Gervais He scolded himself for asking too much.

Because this is a standard aristocratic division of the world, each big noble has his own vassals, if that noble sees his own vassals rich and directly robs them, then this noble will definitely be in the future. Can’t stand.

Gandalf was as serious as ever. Hearing Gervais’ words, he replied with a smile: “Getting benefits through clever means is a skill that all nobles must learn.”

“But through martial Power robs his own vassals, then the nobleman will be cast aside by everyone. If the king dares to use the martial power to seize the Count Jones, then the Jean dukedom will be in turmoil. The other dukedoms will take advantage of it!”
