"What... what?"
Angelo's eyes widened in disbelief.
Just now, the Earl of Kent returned to the banquet and announced that he would suspend the crusade against the Greyman family and let his vassals return to their territories.
In order to arouse everyone's dislike towards Greyman, he had tried his best just now, but now that the Earl made such a move, he suddenly felt like a clown.
"Why? My lord, didn't you agree to me? You can't take your word for it!"
He "questioned" the Earl of Kent a little angrily.
"Presumptuous! Guards, drive him out!" The Earl of Kent glared at Angelo, and immediately a guard came over and dragged Angelo out.
"Let go of me! Let go of me! My lord, we've made a deal..."
Angelo still yelled loudly when he was dragged out, but the people in the hall gradually couldn't hear his voice.
The Earl of Kent said to the vassals and knights in the hall: "I know everyone is confused, but I was persuaded by an old friend just now. He said that it is not a good thing to go to war after all. The most important thing is to convince people with reason, so I We decided to give Earl Greiman another chance."
Everyone in the hall looked at each other without saying a word.
Of course, the Earl of Kent knew what they were thinking, and immediately said: "However, we can't let everyone come here for nothing, so I announce that the Viscount and Baron will each reward 2,000 silver coins, and the knights will each reward 1,000 silver coins. "
"Hey!" Everyone in the hall exclaimed in surprise.
"The earl is really a kind person!" "I think the Gravemans will be grateful to the earl."
Compliments like these keep coming.
The Earl of Kent laughed loudly. Although he likes to accumulate wealth, he also knows how to buy people's hearts. He will not be stingy when spending money on it, otherwise he will not be the second person in the Northwest Gulf after Duke Ferdinand.
What's more, this group of vassals will be used soon, and when I and the teacher have trouble, I can't do without their effectiveness.
At this time, the Earl of Kent was in high spirits in front of his vassals, and he was completely different from the low-browed and pleasing look in front of Barnett just now.
In his opinion, the duke's position and the power of a wizard are within his reach.
Only two people are still in a state of confusion, they are the Earl of Kent's son Jais and his distant nephew Emerson, but under the hint of the Earl of Kent, they did not immediately ask questions.
The banquet continued, and all the vassals clinked glasses one after another, and they helped each other to leave after drinking to their heart's content.
After there were no outsiders in the hall, Jaes and Emerson approached the Earl of Kent.
Jayce asked impatiently, "Father, what happened?"
The count seemed very happy. He drank a lot of wine at the banquet just now. He was already a little drunk, and his pale face was slightly red.
He glanced at the two young men, seeming to be thinking.
After a while, he said, "Forget it, there are some things I should let you know."
The Earl of Kent led the two of them to his study.
He whispered: "I intend to seek the title of Duke of Northwest."
The two were shocked, what happened to the Earl of Kent, did he lose his mind and go crazy?
The count smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Sir Ferdinand will pass on the title to me willingly."
Jayce and Emerson glanced at each other, and they saw each other's doubts: "Is this possible?"
The Earl of Kent said confidently: "As for why, I can't tell you now, but you will know when the time comes."
He stared at Emerson and asked, "Little Emerson, as a royal commissioner, are you willing to support our Kent family?"
Emerson immediately replied: "If Lord Ferdinand is really willing, I will naturally support it with both hands."
The count patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "That's good. I won't forget your Wilder family when the time comes."
Then he seemed to think of something, and said again: "I got the exact news from the old man I just mentioned. The royal family is in danger this time. You should send a letter to your father immediately and advise him to make plans early."
Emerson was a little surprised, but still said: "Thank you Uncle Kent for reminding, I will remind father immediately."
But he immediately turned around and asked, "But why did you let Greiman go? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with your getting the title of duke, does it? He humiliated you so nakedly."
Thinking of the humiliation he suffered in Huxin Town that day, Emerson gritted his teeth with hatred. The whole room shouted for him to get out. No one had ever treated him like this when he grew up.
The Earl of Kent said to him with a "sincere heart" expression: "Little Emerson, if you can't endure small things, it will affect the realization of long-term goals. I don't want to cause trouble before I get the duke title. Although I have 100% confidence in my own strength, I must put an end to any possibility of accidents. UU Reading However, after I obtain the title, if Greiman still has no eyesight, then he will not be so blind this time. Good luck."
He sneered: "Hmph! The days are still long."
Emerson wasted no time in sycophating: "Uncle Kent is really far-sighted."
Jais and Emerson chatted with the Earl of Kent for a while in the study, and then left.
After the door closed, a figure flashed out from behind the bookshelf, it was Barnett.
The Earl of Kent immediately asked, "Teacher, what do you think of that Emerson?"
Barnett nodded: "No problem. According to the results of my detection, he doesn't have any other thoughts except for being suspicious of your words, and he also has great expectations for you to get the title of duke."
The Earl of Kent felt relieved. If Mr. Barnett found out that Emerson had any bad intentions for him, he could only cause an "accident" to this young man.
He said: "The expectation is certain. The Wilder family and the Kent family have been friends for generations. I can get the title of duke, which is of great benefit to their family. The Wilder family is very powerful in the king. Using them is very helpful to our plan."
Barnett reminded him: "It's better to be cautious, after all, people's hearts are the most unpredictable in this world."
The count nodded: "Yes, teacher, I will be careful."
Barnett said again: "I have some things to leave for a while, but I will still be active in the Northwest generation. Before I come back, you should think about how to get rid of Duke Ferdinand's guards and let me approach him."
The Earl of Kent put his hand on his chest: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely find a way."
