In the study, the Duke of Saint Prospero raised his head and glanced at his eldest son. There was an inexplicable deep meaning in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Marquis Vincent's face showed undisguised disappointment, as well as a trace of loss and indignation. He sighed and said,
"Father, you said you weren't biased. Back then, my younger brother concluded that I had been assassinated in Silvermoon City based on some rumors, and you believed him almost immediately.
But now, the irrefutable facts are in front of you, but you still refuse to believe me. "
The Duke of Saint Prospero still didn't speak. He just put the crystal chess piece in his hand on a position on the chessboard, and then looked at his son quietly, as if saying —
It's your turn.
Marquis Vincent threw the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, disrupting the game.
The Duke of Saint Prospero frowned and was about to reprimand when he heard his son say,
"Father, you still don't understand?
Evan has been eyeing the position of the Duke of the Eastern Region from the beginning. For this reason, he ignored the brotherhood and insisted that I had been killed in Silvermoon City.
In the end, you forced Earl Hall to rebel in order to help him to the position!
Also, when he gathered the Lord's army in Tinder City to encircle and annihilate Colin Angelo, didn't he know that there were only 3,000 Blood Cavalry in Linshui City at that time?
Where is the real main force of Blood Cavalry? Just use your brain a little and you will know!
But Evan knew that Colin Angelo was using himself as a bait, but he still didn't care about the real threat. Instead, he gathered the army and marched to Linshui City.
This kind of behavior was simply harboring evil intentions!
Even secretly, I'm afraid he can't wait for White Dew City to be breached by the main force of Blood Cavalry. It would be best if you and I were buried in the hands of Blood Cavalry. Then, wouldn't he become the first successor of the Duke of the Eastern Region?
If he catches Colin Angelo, hehe, he, Evan, will be the hero of the Eastern Region! "
After quietly listening to his son's bitter and hateful complaints, Duke St. Pross expressionlessly said, "Don't worry.
"Evan's action of gathering the Lord's Coalition to encircle and annihilate Colin Angelo was approved by me."
"You approved?" Marquis Vincent's heart trembled.
"Yes." The Duke of Saint Prospero continued, "After I figured out Colin Angelo's plan, I immediately sent a message to Tinder City, asking Evan and Count Bruggen to ignore the safety of White Dew City and make capturing Colin Angelo their top priority."
Marquis Vincent didn't know what to say.
But then, the Duke of Saint Prospero opened his mouth again. "However, judging from the timing of the lord's army's deployment, Evan had already asked the lords to cooperate with him to annihilate Colin Angele before he received my order."
Marquis Vincent's face lit up, and he immediately said: "Father, I was right! Evan has never considered the safety of White Dew City. In his eyes, you're not as important as Colin Angele … "
"If he can catch Colin Angele, I won't blame him for acting on his own."
"What?" Marquis Vincent was stunned for a moment before he realized what the Duke of Saint Prospero was hinting at. "Did he let Colin Angelo slip away?"
The Duke of Saint Prospero sneered, and his tone finally revealed uncontrollable anger. "Slip away? Hehe, I just received news that the Blood Cavalry broke through to the south and encountered the Fire Velvet Army. After a great battle … the Fire Velvet Army was completely annihilated! "
"Completely … completely annihilated?!" Marquis Vincent was also shocked by the news. "The Blood Cavalry north of the Alcis Mountains only has three thousand people, right?"
"Yes." The Duke of Saint Prospero's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. "Do you know how the Fire Velvet Army was defeated?"
"Could it be that Evan, that guy who doesn't know anything about military affairs, blindly commanded?" Marquis Vincent guessed.
"No. It was his Guardian Knight Fletcher who beheaded Count Bruggen at the last minute! "
"What? Is he crazy? "Marquis Vincent couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
He originally thought that he would never be able to regain his father's trust, but he didn't expect his brother to do such a thing …
But then, Marquis Vincent realized that this must be Colin's arrangement.
Thinking of this, Marquis Vincent couldn't help but lower his head, quietly hiding the light in his eyes.
"To be honest, I can only think that Evan or his knights are crazy." The Duke of Saint Prospero sighed, suddenly feeling tired.
Marquis Vincent immediately said, "Father, don't you understand? I'm afraid that Evan has already colluded with the Northern Frontier! "
"Colluded with the Northern Frontier?" The Duke of Saint Prospero pursed his lips. "His surname is Saint Prospero! How can he collude with the Northern Frontier? What can Colin Angele promise him? "
"For example, the position of Duke of the Eastern Region?"
"Hehe, don't be fooled by your current position of Marquis of the Eastern Region. I've already decided to make Evan the first successor. The entire Eastern Region will be his in the future. Why would he do something so unnecessary?"
A trace of anger flashed in Marquis Vincent's eyes, but then he shook his head and said, "Father, this is the promise you made before the fiasco in Alfalfa City. Maybe Evan knows that he has made a big mistake and is worried that you will change your mind again, so he …"
"Then he won't be stupid enough to destroy the Fire Velvet Army!" The Duke of Saint Prospero said angrily, "He's already engaged to Count Bruggen's daughter, and the Fire Velvet Army is his solid backing. Without the Fire Velvet Army, he doesn't even have the right to beg for my forgiveness!"
Marquis Vincent spread his hands and said, "Father, after saying so much, you still don't want to believe that Evan has betrayed you. Then there's nothing I can do."
The Duke of Saint Prospero stared at his eldest son for a long time, and finally spoke again.
"No, it's true that I don't trust Evan anymore …"
Marquis Vincent's face lit up, but then he heard the Duke of Saint Prospero continue coldly, "But I can't trust you either. If it weren't for Anna's whereabouts, I would've already made a new will and made her the first successor!"
"Father!" Marquis Vincent couldn't help but hit the table. "Why won't you trust me?"
The Duke of Saint Prospero looked straight into his eldest son's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Then explain to me why Colin Angelo let you come back?"
"Didn't I already say it? It was you who used half of the Pegasus Navy to redeem me … "
The Duke of Saint Prospero didn't wait for Marquis Vincent to finish speaking and coldly interrupted, "If you continue to try to fool me with this kind of lie, hehe, you'll never be able to gain my trust!"
Marquis Vincent's expression froze, but he immediately recovered and continued to quibble, "But Father, this is the truth!"
The Duke of Saint Prospero sneered, "It's been so long. Do you still think that I can't find out anything about what happened in Alfalfa City that day?"
"Father, what did you find out?"
"I found out …" The Duke of Saint Prospero clenched the crystal chess piece in his hand so tightly that he almost crushed it into powder. "It was you who helped Colin Angelo persuade Count Hall to suddenly attack the House of Saint Prospero's warships!"
As soon as he said this, the study fell silent.
