"Your Highness, the esteemed guest is inside."
"Mm, you didn't interrupt, did you?"
"No."
"Alright, you may leave first."
"Yes."
After the guards left, Prince William straightened his collar and knocked on the door.
* Knock, knock, knock. *
The door opened, and Prince William immediately revealed an elegant and slightly flattering smile.
But before he could introduce himself, Anna waved and said, "Come in."
Prince William immediately understood that his subordinates had probably been discovered by the other party, so he hurried into the room.
"Esteemed Earl Of Avon, Miss Anna, please forgive my sudden visit …"
The Earl Of Avon did not get up, but pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit."
Prince William hurriedly sat down, like an obedient student facing his teacher.
Then, he placed the champagne he brought on the table, "My Lord, this is the best wine produced by the House of Medea winery. I hope it will suit your taste."
The Earl Of Avon's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Whether the wine is good or not, you have to taste it to know! Come, come, come, let's taste it together. "
With that, he immediately went to get the wine glasses.
Prince William quickly opened the bottle and poured three glasses.
The Earl Of Avon picked up the wine glass and shook it elegantly. Then, he put it under his nose and sniffed it, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.
He praised, "It's really good wine!"
Prince William looked pleased, "It's our honor to be liked by the Earl!"
The Earl Of Avon smiled, took a sip, and savored it carefully.
The room was temporarily quiet.
Prince William did not dare to disturb the Earl Of Avon's wine tasting. On the other side, Anna had already finished her glass quickly and was looking at the half-elf prince with a curious gaze.
While Prince William was fidgeting under Anna's scrutinizing gaze, the Earl Of Avon seemed to have finished his evaluation.
"Prince William, what brings you here today?"
Prince William cursed in his heart. Shouldn't you be the ones looking for us? Why are you asking me what's the matter …
However, he only dared to think about it. He definitely did not dare to say it out loud.
"It's like this. My guards have discovered that two esteemed guests have come from afar. So, as the master of Silver Moon City, I naturally have to entertain them well."
"Oh? Just to entertain us? " The Earl Of Avon smiled playfully. "I thought you were here for the marriage of your daughter at the Northern Frontier."
Prince William was speechless. His face turned red from the Earl Of Avon's unexpected way of speaking.
When the Earl Of Avon saw Prince William's reaction, he knew that this guy was really an honest person. Therefore, he stopped teasing him and turned serious.
"Prince William, Prince Tupé's marriage to Miss Vera was not arranged by your father, right?"
"Of course not! Tupe is young and impulsive. He acted on his own initiative, "Prince William quickly explained." I hope that you can understand and do not blame the House of Medea for this. However … since things have already come to this point, my father is also in a difficult position. If he directly rejects this marriage, I am afraid that he will offend the Duke Of St. Hilde. "
"But this matter has made my father very angry!" the Earl Of Avon said as he shook his head.
Prince William suddenly said anxiously, "Earl Of Avon, please help us explain this matter to the Duke of Saint Prospero …"
"I am also very angry!" The Earl Of Avon said pretentiously. "Hasn't the House of Medea always claimed to be neutral? Why would you dare to marry someone from the Northern Frontier this time? Moreover, you are marrying the daughter of a Duke?
Are you holding the chips in your hands? Haha, you are directly placing your bet! "
"I … I …" Prince William was speechless for a while.
"You don't want to see your brother marry Vera and gain the support of the Dukes Of The North, right?"
"Of … of course not," Prince William said honestly.
"I have a way to help you destroy this marriage."
Prince William's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Please tell me!"
"Of course, it is not appropriate to directly reject this marriage. However, if Miss Vera's reputation is tarnished, then the House of Medea will naturally have a suitable excuse to cancel this marriage in order to protect the face of the half-elf royal family."
"Tarnished reputation?"
"Yes." The Earl Of Avon poured himself another glass of champagne before he said, "Have you heard about the chaos in the Northern Frontier?"
"I have heard about it a little …"
"Then you should know that the Black Cavalry played a decisive role in it. However, according to the results of the reward, there is someone who is not part of the Black Cavalry's system who has benefited greatly! "
Prince William immediately thought of someone. "Are you talking about the messenger of the Northern Frontier? Viscount Angley?"
"Yes!
Aren't you curious? How did the son of a former baron suddenly gain the recognition of the Duke Of St. Hilde? Not only was he promoted to a Viscount, but he was also given a much larger territory than the other Viscounts!
Moreover, it is said that the Duke Of St. Hilde even gave him the [Blade of Judgment]! "
Prince William nodded again and again. "It is indeed very strange!"
The Earl Of Avon put down his glass of champagne and said in a mysterious tone, "According to what I know, Viscount Angley met Vera who had just returned from the Eastern Region during the chaos. The two of them fled together and were very close to each other."
"Yes!" Prince William also thought of something and quickly added, "During the banquet at the Lion's Roar Castle, Viscount Angley also proposed to the Dukes Of The North to marry Miss Vera. However, the Duke chose to marry Vera to Tupe in the end."
The Earl Of Avon snapped his fingers and said with certainty, "Therefore, I am sure that Viscount Angley is Vera's lover. That is why he was recognized by the Duke. However, I am afraid that something happened later and the Duke changed his mind at the last minute. That is why he married Vera to the half-elf Kingdom. "
"So, what you mean is …"
"Isn't such a beautiful and regretful love story exactly what people like? You just need to send someone to compile the past of Viscount Angley and Miss Vera and fill in some of the scenes that would make people daydream. Then, you can ask the bards to sing about it in Silvermoon City … "
"Wonderful!" Prince William nodded again and again as if he had come up with a wonderful plan.
Anna frowned as she listened to her brother's words. She did not expect her brother to come up with such a bad idea.
She did not know if Prince William was really stupid or not. He actually thought that this was a wonderful plan.
The Earl Of Avon seemed to be unable to stand Prince William's brainless flattery and he sent him away after a few words.
After closing the door, Anna turned around and looked at her brother with disdain. "Is this your wonderful plan? It is a little … "
"Despicable? Vulgar? Or do you think that it is futile? "The Earl Of Avon did not care about his sister's gaze. He poured himself another glass of wine and savored it carefully.
Anna pursed her lips and wondered, "Didn't you say that the Duke Of St. Hilde has a way to win? Even if your plan really makes it impossible for Vera to marry into the half-elf royal family, what is the use of it? "
The Earl Of Avon spread his hands and said, "I have to do something. Otherwise, I will not be able to report back to my father.
At the same time, I also want to test the level of our allies and opponents.
I do not know the level of our opponents, but our allies … Sigh, it seems that they are really stupid.
I am now even more convinced that the Northern Frontier is going to win this time. "
"So, you gave Prince William such a bad idea just to report back to your father?"
"Otherwise?" The Earl Of Avon shrugged and said, "The Duke Of St. Hilde wants to kill his daughter. Do you think we can stop him?
Maybe the Viscount Angley is the person sent by the Dukes Of The North to carry out this task.
Hehe, this is really interesting!
If the love and hatred in this story can be made into a story, it will definitely spread throughout the entire continent! "
Anna's eyes widened, "Then, is the Viscount Angley really willing to kill his beloved?"
"Why not? If I were him, I would faithfully carry out the Duke's orders. Maybe I will be promoted to an earl when I go back, haha. "
"Brother!" Anna grabbed the glass of wine in the Earl Of Avon's hand and scolded, "You can't always use this kind of dark psychology to judge everyone!"
The Earl Of Avon shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Silly sister, this world is much darker than you think …"
