Father Mavie

Nightingale Club.

The Marquis of Bracken pushed open the door, came behind the eldest prince standing in front of the window, and bowed to salute: "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

"You have done a good job of uniting the northern nobles and the West Island."

The eldest prince turned around: "Now I have other tasks for you."

"What mission?"

"Have you read the Daily Mail? The latest issue from this morning."

"I haven't had time to see it yet."

"Look now."

The eldest prince pointed to the newspaper on the table: "I'll tell you after reading it."

The Marquis of Bracken picked up the newspaper and began to read it carefully. When he saw the headline about Mr. Donnel in the newspaper, he couldn't help being stunned: "The second prince really did something to Donald?"

As early as yesterday, the eldest prince called the members of the Liberal Party to hold a secret meeting. The content of the discussion was also very simple, which was the matters needing attention in this general election.

The Conservative Party has been competing with the Liberal Party for a long time, and the second prince is naturally their archenemy. In the last general election, the second prince was weak and was suppressed by the Conservative Party. In the end, there was a gap of 50 seats in the House of Commons with the Conservative Party. On the one hand, the voice of the Conservative Party is much higher than that of the Liberal Party.

This time the situation is different. After five years of development, the Kingdom of Windsor has undergone drastic changes. Not to mention the coming of the gods, the outcome of the Pereia naval battle led all countries to sign the "Paris Naval Agreement", which abolished the privateer system, and there was no privateer ship. Sweeping ships, maritime trade has ushered in a golden age, the market is becoming more and more international, coupled with the appearance of Ma Wei, the balance of power is constantly tilting towards the second prince
King Rhodes IV's physical condition is not good, and his soul is almost exhausted. Recently, he has to take the medicine refined by the church every day. No one knows how long he can last. Under such circumstances, the Congress and the Church The right to speak is particularly important.

In terms of the church, the Archbishop of Camberley has been unable to hide the decline. In peacetime, the goddess of wealth, Nande, is the pillar of the church. The power in the hands of the Archbishop Brandon is increasing. If he wants to inherit the throne, the eldest prince must win the Parliament and lead the Conservative Party Win this election.

"Nicholas also participated in this general election, so I said why he refused to accept the knighthood award. He originally wanted to run for parliament." The eldest prince said: "He is too important to Shukri. If he is elected as a member of the Liberal Party, Manipulating the bill is too bad for us, we must stop him."

"Not only Nicholas, but also many members of the Liberal Party in other regions participated in the general election." The Marquis of Bracken said solemnly: "The second prince has declared war on us. This is a war without gunpowder."

"Since Nicholas came to London, the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Since he didn't choose us, why not"

The Marquis of Bracken showed a fierce look, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, how about getting rid of Nicholas secretly?"

"We have already missed the opportunity." The eldest prince shook his head and said, "This time they went to Paris, which is the best time for us to do it, but no one thought that Anatole would actually want to keep Nicholas in Paris. Even better, but he failed, not only failed, but also completely bound Shukri and Nicholas together."

"On their way back, the Sun Wolf Clan did not launch an attack. There is nothing they can do about it. Archbishop Liviu and Archbishop Brandon personally escorted them, and there are two saintesses accompanying them. There is really no chance to do anything."

"But if I continue to let it go, I'm afraid it will cause even more irreparable consequences." The Marquis of Bracken mused, "The Hobbs family in the north recommended a person for me, and he may be able to help us solve our troubles."

"Who?"

"A man named Mr. Steward is said to have great powers, and there is nothing he can't do."

"I've heard of him." The eldest prince said: "The master behind the underground black market monitors all illegal transactions. No one knows who he is, and few people have seen his true face. However, in my opinion, this kind of person No different from clowns, the reason why the underground black market exists is because the kingdom and the church do not want to eradicate it, not because they are unable to do so, and getting rid of the underground black market is not beneficial, but will cost a lot of money, this kind of person is not worth mentioning."

The Marquis of Bracken thought for a while and said: "But Your Highness, isn't this a good opportunity to bring disaster to the east? It is not convenient for us to do it in London because you are afraid that you will be traced afterwards and lose your qualification to inherit the throne. If you hand over the assassination mission to If you give it to Mr. Steward, won't you be able to avoid this trouble perfectly?"

"Have you ever thought about it, if we entrust Mr. Steward to do it, it will be true?"

"We can let others disguise it, so that Mr. Steward will not find out. He knows and has no evidence."

The eldest prince was silent, staring at the ashtray on the table in a daze, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Bracken asked cautiously: "Your Highness, you won't be reluctant, will you?"

"I really can't bear it."

The eldest prince took a deep breath: "From the perspective of the kingdom, keeping Nicholas is the best choice. As the eldest prince, how can I do things that endanger the kingdom? It would be great if Nicholas could be used by me."

"Your Highness, you also know that Nicholas has completely surrendered to the second prince. You and the second prince are in a competitive relationship. The old king is old. I don't know how much time is left. At that time, it is not necessary to choose an heir between you and the second prince. The Marquis of Bracken persuaded: "People with a soft heart can't accomplish great things. The Kingdom of Windsor is so powerful that it wouldn't collapse without Nicholas. At worst, we support his younger brother Felix, and Felix and Miss Helena left. Very soon, as long as Nicholas is dead, he will be the legal heir of the Manstein Potion Company, if you control him, won't you be able to control the Manstein Potion Company?"

"Um"

The eldest prince still hesitated, he was not an indecisive person, but he had to think carefully about this matter.

It was a matter of the overall situation, and he had to proceed with caution.

"Your Highness, you have already sent the Sun Wolf Clan to assassinate Nicholas once. I don't think you need to feel psychological pressure at all. Nicholas is our enemy. To deal with the enemy, you just need to strike hard."

The Marquis of Bracken earnestly said: "Have you ever thought about what will happen to us if the second prince becomes king?"

The eldest prince trembled, and looked up at the Marquis of Bracken: "What do you want to say?"

"What I mean is, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about others. Others support you and hope to follow you to achieve a great cause like a conquering king. Naturally, they don't want to see you being confused about this matter. .”

These words are not threats, but the words from the heart of the Marquis of Bracken. He has not followed the prince for a year or two, and he has long been the prince's confidant. How could he do such a thing as forcing the palace?

On the contrary, those members of the Conservative Party, they are all veteran nobles, they only have the interests of the family and themselves in their eyes, and they are just a bunch of fools. Once they find out that the situation is not good, I am afraid that they will all turn against each other the next day
Exaggeration is certainly exaggerated, but the result is correct. The Marquis of Bracken thought of a development that the prince hadn't thought of, and he bluntly reminded him.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Be sure to leave no traces. Even if you fail, you must not let Mr. Steward know that we did it."

"Please don't worry, I will arrange it properly."

"What's up with Arthur?"

"The fourth prince has made a lot of effort in uniting the nobles of the West Island." The Marquis of Bracken smiled: "It seems that he really wants to seek refuge with you, Your Highness."

"Take refuge."

Arthur also showed a smile: "I thought he would hate me because of Princess Sophia's obsession. I didn't do that in the first place. Why should he hate me? I used to be afraid that he would not know the truth and would not believe me. , now it seems that my worries seem unnecessary."

"There is also Russell Benjamin. He is indeed a well-known local businessman in Edinburgh. He is quite prestigious and knows many nobles. He is the first to reach an agreement with us from the northern nobles."

"Arthur, Benjamin. Well, they are indeed worth wooing. We are not the same as before. We will use all the resources we can."

After a pause, the eldest prince remembered that he had something else to do with the Marquis of Bracken: "By the way, Mr. Donnel's son is currently under the control of the tax department. He has confessed to his crimes. If there is no accident, he will be handed over soon. Court, please move around and give him some convenience within the scope of the law."

"clear."

The Marquis of Bracken nodded and said, "Your Highness, Nicholas seems to have made some moves in the small town of Baconsfield in the past few days. The farmers there have cultivated herbs. I suspect that this has something to do with his election. Do we want to stop it?"

"Look at the situation first, wait for the opportunity, don't be impatient."

"Yes."

The small town of Beckensfield.

In the farmland, young shoots broke through the ground and pulled out the greenery. The farmers were watering the crops. The water was mixed with a growth potion. In just one day, the seeds began to germinate. At this rate, another It will be ready for harvest in a few days.

The old mayor looked at the green farmland, the wrinkles on his face crowded together, and nodded in relief. While walking between the ridges, he still reminded the residents to work hard.

"The lord is our savior! There is nothing wrong with following him! This is our destiny!"

"Mayor! Mayor!"

There was a shout behind him, and the mayor turned around and asked in surprise, "Father Fran, why are you here?"

The visitor was Fran, the only priest in the town, second only to the mayor. The residents respected him very much, but he seldom came to the fields, and spent most of his time praying in the church.

"Mayor, have you noticed that many strangers suddenly came to the town today?"

They are all acquaintances. Father Fran was not polite, and said directly: "The new lord supports the second prince, and there is a general election recently. I suspect that some of these outsiders intend to harm the town. We must be more vigilant to avoid trouble."

"They dare!"

When the old mayor heard that someone was plotting against the town, he immediately rolled his eyes and ordered to expel all the outsiders, seal off the ridges and protect the farmland.

The crops have all been replaced with extraordinary herbs. If the planting fails, the town will suffer a huge blow and lose its summer income. More than half of the residents will drink the northwest wind!
"I think it's better to wait." Father Fran stopped the mayor who was ready to do it, frowned and said, "These outsiders may not all be bad people, you think, our town is the first to grow potions In the pilot, we also used the growth potion, the herb grows very fast, it is normal for some people to be curious, it is good for our town."

"Benefits? What benefits?"

"Do you think, are any of these people engaged in business? If so, will they consider the strength of the new lord after they set their sights on our town? If a deal can be reached, the town will be able to develop!"

The mayor was surprised and said, "You mean to turn the town into a potion business district?"

"That's right! It's the business district that deals in potions! It's hard to have a large market in London now, not to mention that the city is a place where finished potions are sold. If you really want to buy raw materials, do you want to go to the planting area outside the city? Where are the prices?" It's cheap!" Father Fran said, "Why can't the small town of Baconsfield become the largest growing area? We have a vast field and the help of a new lord, why not?"

The mayor nodded approvingly, thinking that what Father Fran said before and after was correct, but there are good people and bad people among the foreigners who came to the town.
"Father Fran, just tell me, what should we do?"

"My suggestion is to wait until the new lord arrives before making a decision. He is more thoughtful than we thought."

"Well, then... hey! The lord is here!"

A train stopped at the platform of the small town, which was just outside the farmland. Levin, who got off the train, was spotted by the sharp-eyed mayor and rushed over.

"Lord! Lord Lord!"

"What happened?" Levin took off his sunglasses, looked at the mayor who rushed in front of him, and thought that something big had happened.

After hearing the mayor's doubts, Levin laughed instead: "Outsiders? Most of these outsiders are businessmen in the city of London, and they are here for field investigation."

"But my lord, Father Fran said, there may be some of these foreigners." The mayor smashed his mouth and wanted to continue, but he was afraid that he would displease Levin if he said too much.

"Possibly political enemies, right?"

"Yep!"

Levin glanced at Father Fran, and praised him: "You think very comprehensively, and your deduction is correct, there must be eyeliners sent by political opponents among the outlanders, but you don't need to worry about this, we will take care of it ourselves. "

"Oh, ok, ok, obey the Lord Lord's order"

Once the small town of Baconsfield develops, it will inevitably attract the prying eyes of the eldest prince or others. Words and deeds will first enter Fat Ju's ears, filter out unimportant information, and pick out useful ones to inform Ma Wei.

"I brought a few monks, they were sent by Archbishop Brandon."

Levin pointed to the few people behind him and said:

"They will assist Father Fran and the town police to protect the safety of the town."
