"You want me to give Nilton... To the little girl?"

With unbelievable eyes, governor Gaspar said this sentence almost gnashing his teeth.

"This is already the best choice for the present situation." Roger Yoder, with calm eyes, turned slowly to face governor Byrne:

"Admit it, Gaspar... We have lost this game, but there is still a chance to recover the situation. It is not time to tear our face and fight against the Turin family."

"At present, we still have the right name to rule the Principality of Byrne and control all minerals and strategic resources in the whole principality - the advantages and initiative are still on our side. We don't have to worry about such a failure!"

"Nilton... He was promoted by me. I told him to do everything he did. The whole governor's office... No, it should be known by the whole principality. He is my man!"

"Isn't that better?"

Roger Yoder, President of Yoder chamber of Commerce, closed his mouth and looked at Gaspar: "just because he is your confidant - in the face of the mistakes made by your confidant, you can not bend the law for personal gain, let a villain go, or let an innocent die in vain... There is no better way to win the hearts of the people in Bain!"

"As for the mistakes he made, you, as a boss, of course, don't know - you are governor Byrne. You are busy. You can't focus on a small red blood castle. It's inevitable to be negligent. Only then did you give your confidants an opportunity to seek personal interests and do things that damage your reputation with the convenience of power!"

"As governor Byrne, I can't even protect my close friends. Who else is willing to work for me?!"

"As long as you are governor Bain and control the military and political power of a principality, there are many people who are willing to be your running dog!"

Roger Yoder's eyes were burning and his expression was slightly excited: "even if everyone betrayed you, Yoder chamber of Commerce... Old Roger will still stand behind you. Any count against you will be cut off by me and let their wine rot in the wine cellar. He can't buy a nail or a needle!"

"But if you lose the title of governor Byrne, it's not just you... Even our Yod chamber of Commerce will be involved." old Roger continued his words with a sigh:

"In the South... Led by count bosiwar of Kaiyan castle, they have long been full of resentment against the control of mines in their territory by the yode chamber of Commerce;"

"In the East... The Earl of Glenville of storm castle has always hated our monopoly of wine and salt, and has tried every means to collude with the chamber of Commerce in Saxony;"

"To the West... Count vickley of the immortal castle still has a grudge against the control of Byrne and the border market of the Principality of Arles by the yode chamber of Commerce;"

"As for the Turin family... Not to mention that your governor's office is here, the whole Bain's Secret silver trade, as well as war horses, armor, weapons and wine..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?!"

"What I want to say is that you don't have to worry about the loyalty of the Yoder chamber of Commerce... Even if you lose Nilton and have old Roger, Bain is still in your pocket."

Roger Yoder spoke in a low voice about what Gaspar was really afraid of:

"Even if I die, the next president and the head of the yode family must support you unconditionally - otherwise the Earls of Byrne who hate us will strip the whole chamber of Commerce alive!"

For a time, Gaspar's expression was extremely shocked... The relationship between the two sides was very good, even beyond the level of ordinary allies, but

For a leader of a family and chamber of Commerce, saying such words is tantamount to swearing allegiance to himself!

"Bang --!"

The closed door was suddenly opened, and the guard standing outside the door came in, looking very hesitant and trembling, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Gaspar frowned slightly: "what's the matter?"

"Governor, outside the governor's house..." the guard was sweating and nervous. He couldn't even speak clearly: "just outside the gate... Someone was there... Gathered a crowd to demonstrate."

For an instant, the atmosphere in the whole conference room was stagnant.

"What did you say --?!"

"Really, what I said is true!" the scared and silly guard collapsed directly to the ground, and his eyes were terrified: "almost half of the nobles and rich businessmen in the city have come, as well as the representatives of the church and wizard tower... All are crowded outside the gate to let you hand over inspector Nilton and be tried by the count of red blood castle!"

The air seemed to solidify into substance.

Roger Yoder, who silently took a sip from his glass, turned his calm eyes to Gaspar with a frightened face... The dejected governor Byrne, never thought that the situation had deteriorated so quickly.

What should I do... What should I do?!

"Go... Say it's my order." Gaspar's head dropped so that people couldn't see his expression: "let Nilton... Come to the conference room at once!"

………………………………………………

"Governor Gaspar wants to make peace."

In the hall of the red blood Castle palace, Laurent, who slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, carried his hands behind him and looked at the countess with a cold face beside him, with an expression of some helplessness.

Charlotte certainly wouldn't give him a good face for the black haired wizard with a proud face and an expression of "it's all in my plan".

"Indeed, just as Viscount Lorraine expected." Charles, the housekeeper standing aside, noticed that the atmosphere was a little delicate, hurried forward, smiled and said:

"Just now, the people in the governor's office have sent inspector Nilton, removed all his posts and titles, and dismissed all urban defense officers and confidants he recruited - this step should prove Gaspar's sincerity in peace talks."

"What kind of peace talks is clearly shirking responsibility!" the countess snorted with a trace of contempt in her eyes:

"When he sees that he can't win, he throws his subordinates out, bears the responsibility for his crime and bears the fault for his failure - Gaspar is shameless as a man or governor Bain. Doesn't he even have a little self-esteem?!"

"Now that you've lost, just stand up and admit... And use the nonsense excuse of 'ignorance'. It's really... As an opponent, I'm ashamed of him!"

Seeing the countess's almost unreasonable anger, the red blood Castle housekeeper and the black haired wizard looked at each other with a bitter smile and shook their heads helplessly.

"Then what next, do you want to accept the other party's request for peace talks?"

With a sigh, Charles smiled at the dark haired wizard and changed the subject.

"Of course, we should not only accept each other's sincerity, but also let them feel our sincerity."

"You mean..."

"Give him back the beast's head." the black haired wizard suddenly bent his mouth and smiled treacherously: "for example... Hang a flagpole in the middle of the square in the red blood castle city... What do you think?"

"You're not trying to make peace, but to provoke him?" said the countess coldly.

"If you can't make the opponent feel threatened, why do you want peace talks?" Lauren asked with a smile. "At present, we don't have the strength to compete with governor Byrne, so we can only use this way to frighten the other party!"

"But... It's only temporary."

"Temporary?" Charlotte and Charles almost agreed.

"Think carefully, apart from the title appointed by the Empire, what on earth does the governor from the imperial capital of Western Saxony... Rely on to obtain the status above all Knight lords today?" Loren asked, and gave the answer before Charlotte spoke:

"It's simple, Yoder chamber of Commerce."

"The control of trade routes, the opening of fairs, the monopoly of luxury goods and necessities, large and small mines... With the authority of Byrne governor's office, Yoder chamber of commerce is rich in Byrne and even the whole south!"

"With the help of the wealth and control of all kinds of materials of Yod chamber of Commerce, governor Byrne can hold his position - both of them are in a relationship of mutual assistance, and neither of them is indispensable to each other; if you want to defeat governor Byrne without considering external factors, you must kill Yod chamber of Commerce first!"

Lauren turned around with an unprecedented dignified expression: "so, I have a very bold idea..."
