As the door was gently closed, the inside and outside of the room were separated into two different worlds.
Only Earl Nicole and the Earl Of Avon were in the room. Even Anna did not come in.
Earl Nicole personally poured a glass of wine for the Earl Of Avon and laughed.
"Earl Of Avon, there is no good wine in the camp. Please make do with it."
"Haha, you may not know, but for a real drunkard, good wine is good, but bad wine can also have a different taste." The Earl Of Avon took the glass, clinked it with Earl Nicole's, and then drank it in one gulp.
Earl Nicole put down his glass and asked, "Earl Of Avon, since you have been in White Dew City for a long time, why have you been hiding your whereabouts?"
The Earl Of Avon laughed and said, "Earl Nicole, let's not test each other here and waste time, okay? Don't tell me you don't know the reason why I have not dared to show myself."
Earl Nicole also laughed and praised, "I have long heard that you are extraordinarily intelligent, Earl Of Avon. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed so!"
The Earl Of Avon shook his head and sighed, "If it was in the past, I might have accepted your praise calmly, and even secretly felt proud. But now, haha, I finally know that compared to a real genius, I am really weak, especially on the battlefield …"
"Earl Of Avon, in fact, this is really not your fault. The Eastern Region Army has been at peace for too long. Compared to the Bloody Cavalry that fought their way out of the Sky Ice Field, the difference in strength is too great. No matter who is in command, the result will be the same. "
The Earl Of Avon did not respond. He just poured another glass of wine for himself and Earl Nicole. The two brothers in distress wanted to drown their sorrows in wine.
But soon, Count Elven put down his wine cup and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry.
"Earl Nicole, do you know why I took the initiative to come to you?"
Count Nicol glanced at the Earl Of Avon and shook his head.
Count Evan immediately said in a deep voice, "Count Nicol, I'm here to help you."
"Oh?" Earl Nicol's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Earl Evan, why would I need your help?"
Earl Of Avon did not answer the question directly. Instead, he asked, "What kind of promise did my mother give you?"
Obviously, Count Nicole didn't want to reveal the agreement between him and the duchess to Count Evan. Also, he felt that he had seen through Count Evan's true intentions, so the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"Earl Of Avon, I think you're trying to get my help, aren't you? However, with all due respect, your brother is the most suitable successor to the Duke of the Eastern Region in this situation. "
The Earl Of Avon sneered, "My brother? Or my nephew, who's only three years old? "
Earl Nicol's expression did not change. "Either of them can come, but it can't be you. The Eastern Region needs the Hall family too much at this time. "
"I agree." The Earl Of Avon said frankly, "And you've misunderstood my intentions. I'm not trying to persuade you to support me in becoming the Duke of the Eastern Region."
"Oh?" Earl Nicol was a little surprised and puzzled. "Then why did you come to me?"
"I've already said that I'm here to help you," the Earl Of Avon said with a smile.
Earl Nicol looked at the Earl Of Avon in surprise and asked, "What can you help me with?"
"Of course, to help you and the Nicol family get out of their biggest predicament!" the Earl Of Avon said in a low voice.
Count Nichol's frown deepened. "Count Avon, what is the biggest predicament of the Nichol Family?"
"Earl Nicol, don't you know what your family's biggest predicament is? As an 'outsider' and a 'traitor', the Nicol family has never been able to truly integrate into the Eastern Region!
Do you really think that if you cooperate with my mother this time, she will help you solve this problem in return? "
Earl Nicol was silent.
He knew that the Earl Of Avon was right.
The Nicol family's emblem was "Alpine Tinder." Yes, it was the tinder in Tinder City.
More than three hundred years ago, Tinder City was still the territory of the Nicol family, and the Tinder Army was also the name of the Nicol family's private army.
Of course, at that time, the area north of the Alcis Mountains was still the territory of the St. Theon family, and the Nicol family was naturally the vassal of the St. Theon family.
Therefore, when the House of Saint Prospero defeated the St. Theon family, the Nicol family became an awkward existence.
At that time, the Nicol family saw that the situation was not good and decisively chose to surrender to the House of Saint Prospero. In order to break the fighting spirit of the vassal of the St. Theon family, the Duke of Saint Prospero chose to accept the Nicol family's allegiance to show his mercy.
However, the Nicol family was, after all, a vassal of the St. Theon family, and naturally could not be fully trusted by the House of Saint Prospero.
For example, the Duke of Saint Prospero conferred Tinder City, a military stronghold, to the Bruggen family, and the Nicol family's territory was changed to the south of the Alcis Mountains.
The Nicol family also knew that the House of Saint Prospero had always been vigilant against them, so they had been cautious and low-key for many years, trying to eliminate the prejudice of the Duke of Saint Prospero against the Nicol family.
For example, in the recent battle for succession between Marquis Vincent and the Earl Of Avon, most of the nobles in the Eastern Region chose to side with them, but the Nicol family had always been indifferent.
Of course, this was indeed because Earl Nicol was astute and knew the risks, but more importantly, it was because the Nicol family did not dare to easily express their stance, for fear of attracting the attention of the Duke of Saint Prospero.
Now that Count Evan pointed out this point, countless thoughts flashed through Count Nicol's mind. After a while, he said in a deep voice,
After a long while, he said, "Earl Of Avon, I wonder if you have any way to help the Nicol family get out of this awkward situation?"
The Earl Of Avon smiled mysteriously and took out an exquisite badge from his arms.
The kite shield-shaped badge was engraved with a pattern of a roaring tiger. It was unknown what material it was made of, but under the sunlight, it reflected a colorful light.
Upon seeing this familiar badge, Earl Nicol was stunned. He looked at the Earl Of Avon in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "What?
"Mada … Colorful Tiger? Your … Your Excellency, where … where did you get this badge? "
The Earl Of Avon smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Fung gave it to me."
"Mr. Fung?" Earl Nicol was pleasantly surprised and somewhat in disbelief. "Didn't he … die at the hands of Prince Rhy?"
"You believe such a rumor?" The Earl Of Avon asked rhetorically. "If so, how could Prince Rhy be reduced to such a state? Who is the person he is tracking all over the world? "
Earl Nicol suppressed his excitement and asked in a low voice, "What agreement have you reached with Mr. Fung?"
The Earl Of Avon smiled reservedly and said, "I will marry Mr. Fung's daughter, and Mr. Fung will help me control the Eastern Region."
"Daughter?" Earl Nicol was puzzled. "Aren't you already engaged to Grace of the Brugen family?"
The Earl Of Avon smiled mysteriously and said, "You will understand in the future. Now, do you think that compared to my mother, I am a better partner for the Nicol family? "
Earl Nicol's gaze was fixed on the colorful tiger badge in the Earl Of Avon's hand. He nodded and said, "Yes! If you have reached an agreement with Mr. Fung, then the Nicol family is naturally willing to follow in your footsteps! "
"Very good!" Count Elven said mysteriously as he put away the badge with a smug smile.
"Earl Nicol, White Dew City will be especially lively tonight. Please wait and see!"
