Tap, tap, tap …
Cathy tiptoed into the dining room and refilled the glasses of the two people who were talking. Then, she tiptoed away.
After the door was closed again, Scholar Dwayne said, "Sir Viscounts, between Miss Vera and Mr. Joyce, Emperor Reinhardt would definitely side with Miss Vera."
"Oh? Why? "Colin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked.
Scholar Dwayne took a sip of his coffee before he replied calmly.
"Sir Viscounts, do you know why the San Lorenzo family allowed the St. Theon family to usurp the Northern Frontier this time? They even secretly ordered the Menham family to send troops to attack the Golden Lion Legion? "
"I think they want to use this opportunity to divide the Northern Frontier," Colin said in an uncertain tone.
"The Menham family and the Dawson family do want to establish a kingdom of dwarves, and this move will divide the Northern Frontier. However, do you really think that the San Lorenzo family would disregard their relationship with the House of Saint Hilde and help the St. Theon family, who they have an old feud with, seize the Northern Frontier?"
"The St. Theon family must have offered other conditions, right?"
"Yes. I had guessed so before, but the death of the Duke immediately made me realize what the St. Theon family's condition was. "
"What is it?" Colin's curiosity was immediately piqued.
Scholar Dwayne did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Sir Viscounts, what do you think killed the Duke?"
"It should be some kind of forbidden spell."
"I think so too. Moreover, I think that this forbidden spell should be the work of Mr. Feng from the St. Theon family. I just don't know what kind of price he paid for it."
When he heard this, Colin could not help but think of the burning Eagle City and Mr. Feng who was surrounded by green smoke.
He wanted to tell Dwayne about Fallen Eagle City, but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.
Only a day had passed since the incident at Fallen Eagle City. With the speed of communication in this world, Colin could not have received the news so quickly.
In order to not reveal his greatest secret, Colin could not let anyone know that he was aware of the situation in Fallen Eagle City. He would have to wait a few days before he could reveal anything.
"Lord Viscounts, do you know Prince Rhy?" Scholar Dwayne asked again, not knowing what Colin was thinking.
"Yes, I know. He's the only living Holy Knight of the royal family."
"Yes. It was true that Prince Lacy was a Holy Knight, but he was from a side branch of the San Lorenzo family. Before he had advanced to the Saint-level, he had not been valued. He had even suffered a lot because of the fight over cultivation resources.
As a result, after becoming a Paladin, this person became arrogant and domineering. He was extremely greedy for power and profit, and he was not very respectful to the direct descendants of San Lorenzo.
Therefore, Emperor Reinhardt relied heavily on this person, but he was also afraid of him. I feel that the latter was more likely.
However, with Prince Rhy's strength, he was destined to be undefeatable. Even Emperor Reinhardt could only swallow his anger in front of him.
Therefore, when I saw the Duke Of St. Hilde die under an unknown forbidden spell, I understood what the St. Theon family wanted in exchange for the Emperor's support. "
Colin also understood at this time. "You mean, the St. Theon family used a forbidden spell that could kill a Holy Knight in exchange for Emperor Reinhardt's support?"
Scholar Dwayne nodded. "Yes, Emperor Reinhardt was afraid of Prince Rhy's strength. If the St. Theon family gave him a forbidden spell that could kill a Holy Knight, hehe, Emperor Reinhardt would definitely be tempted."
Colin nodded involuntarily, agreeing with this guess.
However, he then wondered, "What does this have to do with Emperor Reinhardt supporting Vera to become the Dukes Of The North?"
Scholar Dwayne smiled and continued to explain.
"I think that Emperor Reinhardt did not want to kill Prince Rhy.
The House of San Lorenzo needed such a banner, and they also needed a Paladin to intimidate everyone. However, the Emperor did not want this sword to hurt him, so he needed something that could keep the Paladin in check. That was the Forbidden Spell of the House of San Theon.
However, in order to release this forbidden spell, Emperor Reinhardt needed the help of a mage.
However, the hatred between the nobles of the empire and the Mage Parliament was too deep. Therefore, Emperor Reinhardt did not dare to rope in Yewel. Therefore, he needed a mage to partner … "
Colin immediately understood when he heard this.
Mr. Fa was such a partner, but Vera could also be his partner!
She was a descendant of the Holy Knight family and a mage.
She was even more suitable than Mr. Fa to be Emperor Reinhardt's partner!
Therefore, if he had to choose between Joisse and Vera to become the Dukes Of The North, Vera would definitely be Emperor Reinhardt's first choice.
Colin was excited. He was originally worried that Vera would have a hard time inheriting the position of the Dukes Of The North. However, after listening to Scholar Dwayne's analysis, he suddenly realized something.
It turned out that Vera had an absolute chance of winning compared to Joisse!
As he thought of this, Colin looked at Scholar Dwayne with a fiery gaze.
Scholar Dwayne was indeed a rare talent!
He had wisdom, connections, and knew the nobles of the empire like the back of his hand.
If he could get Scholar Dwayne's help, Colin would definitely become even more powerful.
Although he wanted to recruit Scholar Dwayne, Colin was not in a hurry.
Scholar Dwayne was a retainer of the House of Saint Hilde. As long as Vera successfully inherited the position of the Dukes, he would naturally become Colin's support.
Of course, all of this was based on the premise that the St. Theon family was defeated.
If Mr. Dwayne became the Dukes Of The North, then Vera and Joisse would not be able to compete anymore.
However, according to Scholar Dwayne's previous analysis, as long as the Golden Lion Legion did not lose Winter City, the war would be in a stalemate. Then, they would divide the vassal forces of the St. Theon family and the chaos on the Northern Frontier would naturally subside.
"Very good, Scholar Dwayne. After I reorganize the army, I will personally escort Vera to the Golden Lion Legion's camp as soon as possible and persuade them to return to Winter City!"
When Scholar Dwayne heard this, he smiled happily and said, "Lord Viscounts, you have made the wisest choice! However, the Menham family's army is approaching the Golden Lion Legion. You have to race against time and arrive at the camp before the enemy cuts off the Golden Lion Legion's escape route. "
"Alright, I will set off tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
After that, the two of them chatted for a while before Scholar Dwayne got up and left.
Colin was the only one left in the dining hall. He was drinking his cold coffee alone and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Cathy came in to pack up and asked, "Master, do you need anything else?"
Colin shook his head and said, "No, I am already full. Ask Eamon to come and see me. "
"Yes."
Not long after, the butler Eamon hurried into the dining hall. "Master, are you looking for me?"
"Yes. I remember that Scholar Dwayne is not a commoner, right? What is his surname? "
"Master, Scholar Dwayne's full name is Dwayne White."
"White …" Colin was confused again. "Is this a family from the Northern Frontier?"
Fortunately, Eamon had some understanding of this family and quickly explained, "Master, the White family is a vassal of the imperial family. Their title is Viscounts and their territory is in the Flaming Flame Territory. However, Scholar Dwayne is not the eldest son of the family and has not inherited the title."
"A vassal of the imperial family?" Colin's eyes flashed. He was greatly surprised.
A scholar from a vassal of the imperial family was regarded as a trusted retainer by the Duke Of St. Hilde. There must be a reason for this.
After a while, he spoke again and ordered, "Send someone to investigate this White family. I need more detailed information."
"Yes, Master."
"Also, inform Knight Roger to gather a thousand Black Cavalry soldiers. They will set off with me tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
