Chapter 100 The Position of the Duchy of Drake

The first heavy snow fell, and it took only one morning to dye the entire city of Sewell in pure white.

Earl Summer stared at the falling snowflakes outside the window with an extremely dignified expression.

Her Royal Highness Princess Seweini has been back to the Lampari Kingdom for a month.

At first, everything was normal.

After returning to the city of Anvilmar, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni attended the funeral of His Majesty King Eric very calmly, but she did not disclose any other information from the beginning to the end.

Originally according to everyone's expectations, since Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny resolutely gave up the opportunity to compete with King Eric for the throne, she should continue to support King Eric's son, Prince William, to inherit the throne.

However, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny unexpectedly did not reveal this meaning, and even veiledly questioned it.

At that time, Earl Summer was vigilant.

This time, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni may make a choice that surprises everyone.

Sure enough, half a month later, after attending the funeral of King Eric and leading the private guards back to her private domain, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny suddenly announced that King Eric did not die normally, but was sent down. Poison, poison, kill! This piece of news immediately shocked the entire Kingdom of Lampari.

When Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny announced the news? After a long? wind? ..ne wait, she actually pointed the finger directly at Duke Stark!

Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny declared that she had obtained enough evidence to prove that Duke Stark ordered others to poison King Eric. As Her Royal Highness, she was also the legal first heir to the throne of Lampari. identity. It was announced that the Duke of Starr had poisoned the king. Committed the most treasonous crime of treason!

This time. The whole country of Lampari Kingdom is boiling.

The Stark family has controlled almost all the affairs of the entire Lampari Kingdom in the past two years. It is clear that he wants to be at odds with the Stark family.

The Duke of Stark's response to Her Royal Highness Seweney's accusation was to firmly deny it, claiming that Her Royal Highness Seweigny clearly saw King Eric's sudden death and wanted to fight for the throne, so she made this accusation with the intention of denying Prince William legal succession to the throne. Trying to take the throne himself.

This rebuttal has also been supported by many people in the Kingdom of Lampari, because Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny's choice of timing is too ingenious to make people suspicious. For a time, the side in the Kingdom of Lampari who supported Her Royal Highness Seweney and the side who supported Duke Stark were sharply opposed, and the entire kingdom fell into chaos.

However, for Earl Summer, it is meaningless to just stay on the lip of the battle. He is very clear that the final result is determined by the respective strengths of both parties.

The Earl of Summer is most loyal to the interests of the entire Lampari Kingdom, according to his original intention. Of course, it is best for the Kingdom of Lampari to be stable and peaceful forever, so when Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni gave up competing with Eric for the throne before. Although he was a little disappointed, he was quite relieved in his heart.

However, Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni suddenly announced this shocking news, and put on a stance to fight for the throne, but it pushed the Lampari Kingdom to the most dangerous situation.

However, Earl Summer could not accuse Seweney, because according to the information he obtained from secret channels, there was indeed a lot of doubt about the sudden death of King Eric.

It is not surprising that Eric will appoint Prince William to take over the throne, but it is very strange to appoint Duke Stark as Regent.

Not only the Earl of Summer, but many nobles in the kingdom are actually very clear that although King Eric was very dependent on Duke Stark in the early stage, and could even obey Duke Stark, since the first half of this year, King Eric has been with Stark. There were many differences between Duke Tucker, and later it could even be said to be completely contrary. In many ways, they clearly opposed Duke Starr's proposal.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for him to designate the Duke of Starr as the Minister of Regent on his deathbed to lead the power of the kingdom?

No matter from which aspect of analysis, Earl Summer agrees more with Her Royal Highness Seweney's accusation.

That's right, Duke Stark must have conspired to poison King Eric when he saw that King Eric wanted to get rid of his control, and then helped Prince William, a five-year-old kid, sit on the throne with the intention of truly controlling the entire world. Kingdom of Lampari.

Earl Summer suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart.

If he could unite the nobles in the kingdom who supported Her Royal Highness Sevigny, test pressure on Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny, and even force her to compete with Prince Eric for the throne, then Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny ascended the throne, Lampa How could the Li kingdom become what it is now.

Moreover, if Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny ascends to the throne, she will definitely support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. How could the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce be forced to withdraw from the Kingdom of Lampari? As a result, the originally prosperous magic industry in the Kingdom of Lampari was destroyed Those guys headed by the Stark family are tossing and falling, without any improvement.

In the current Lampari Kingdom, only part of the industry of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is preserved in the city of Serwell.

This was preserved by Earl Summer with his tough attitude.

Although Duke Starr questioned this many times and tried to seize these properties, he was refuted by Earl Summer.

Among them, the one that played a decisive role was actually the third army of the kingdom's garrison that Lampari XIII sent to Sewell City before his death and designated that it must accept the command of the Earl of Summer.

"My lord, Princess Caroline has arrived." The affairs officer of the City Lord's Mansion came in and reported.

Earl Summer turned around and nodded slightly: "Ask her to come in."

A moment later, Princess Caroline, who was dressed in a clean white fur and looked like a white flower blooming in winter, walked in with brisk steps.

"Lord Summer, half a month has passed since we last met, how are you doing recently?" Princess Caroline smiled lightly.

Earl Summer shook his head slightly: "As you can see, life is not very good."

Princess Caroline was obviously a little surprised by Earl Summer's answer. After a moment of surprise. He looked up and down at Earl Summer. Smiling, he glanced out the window and said, "The snow has already started to fall, so you don't need to worry that the Kingdom of Sark will choose to invade at this time."

"Snow can't stop anything." Earl Summer shook his head: "If necessary, our City Defense Army in Sewell City and the Third Army of the Kingdom Defense Army have the ability to make surprise attacks in snowy weather. But I'm not worried about this, Even if the Kingdom of Sark wanted to invade, it would not choose this time slot."

"Yes, they will definitely choose the most vulnerable moment of your Lampari Kingdom." Princess Caroline nodded slightly. "If there is no accident, next year will be a very good time."

Earl Summer smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you can see this. The Kingdom of Sark has no reason not to understand. Yes, our Kingdom of Lampari has actually reached a very critical moment. A little carelessness, this inheritance A kingdom that has existed for hundreds of years may be dying."

Princess Caroline blinked her eyes and slowly shook her head: "No, my lord, I don't think so."

"Oh?" Earl Summer looked at Princess Caroline unexpectedly.

"Lord Earl, with all due respect, your concern about the fate of the Lampari Kingdom should be because you are worried that the kingdom will fall into civil war. So the Sac Kingdom will take advantage of it, right?"

Earl Summer frowned slightly and nodded.

"Then, Lord Earl. Have you ever thought that if the civil war lasts for a short time and Her Royal Highness Seweigny quickly stabilized the situation in the entire kingdom, would the Kingdom of Sark dare to invade?"...

Earl Sark was stunned: "How is this possible. Your Royal Highness, you don't know much about the situation in our kingdom, and the prospect of Your Royal Highness...is not optimistic."

"Really?" Princess Caroline still smiled like a flower. "Lord Earl, I think you have forgotten a very important factor. Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny has a very important supporter, which is incomparable to anyone else."

"Which supporter is so important?" Earl Summer frowned and shook his head. "This is impossible."

"No, of course it is possible. Because...the supporters are Xu Yi and his Xinfei Chamber of Commerce." Princess Caroline smiled.

Earl Summer frowned a little deeper, thought for a while, and shook his head again: "You think highly of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Although I admit that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will definitely provide strong help to Her Royal Highness, he is not enough to influence the entire kingdom. situation."

"That's not necessarily true." Princess Caroline glanced at Earl Summer, thought about it, but chose to give up continuing this topic.

She came to Sewell City this time mainly to discuss the continued cooperation with Earl Summer.

The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce left these industries in Sewell City. In addition to supplying Sewell City and several surrounding cities of the Lampari Kingdom, the products produced also entered the Principality of Drake in large numbers.

Now in the Principality of Drake, various household magic machines of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have become extremely popular, and through the channel of the Principality of Drake, the products of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have also been sold to the other two principalities adjacent to the Principality of Drake, It is also currently extremely popular in those two duchies.

This time Princess Caroline came here mainly to discuss with Earl Summer about relocating some of the skilled workers in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce factory from Sewell City to the Duchy of Drake, and to establish a brand new one in the Duchy of Drake. Production base.

"Master Earl, just as you are worried, the Lampari Kingdom will almost certainly fall into civil strife. During the civil strife, these technical personnel who are extremely important to Sewell City and even the entire Lampari Kingdom must do their best to preserve them. , do you agree with me?"

"Well, I very much agree with this point. But...sending them to your Duchy of Drake is not the only option. I can choose other ways to send them out of the Lampari Kingdom, or even send them directly to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Back then Xu Yi entrusted their safety to me, so I couldn't break my promise to Xu Yi." Earl Summer said sternly.

"But doing so will not make the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce give more support to Her Royal Highness Seweney, will it?" Princess Caroline laughed.

Earl Summer was slightly startled, and then his eyes lit up: "His Royal Highness, what do you mean..."

Princess Caroline smiled slightly, and extended her hand to Earl Summer: "My lord, on behalf of the Duke of Drake, I propose to you a cooperation agreement. If you are willing to fully assist our Duke of Drake to establish a brand new magical machinery industry in the Duke Base, then our Principality of Drake will cooperate with you as much as possible and give the greatest support to Her Royal Highness Princess Seweni."

Earl Summer looked at Princess Caroline in astonishment.

Is the magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so attractive to the Principality of Drake? It can even make them abandon their usual neutral attitude and clearly express their support for a certain party.

But that's not all.

Princess Caroline continued: "If you agree to transfer some of the technology related to military magic machines to our Principality, then our Principality will fully cooperate with Her Royal Highness Princess Seweney, and in the future between the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Lampari In the conflict between them, I completely stand on the side of the Lampari Kingdom. How about it? Your lord, are you tempted by this proposal?"

Count Summer saw Princess Caroline's beautiful smile like a flower, and felt his heart throbbing.
