Chapter 1165 Positive Negotiation 【Subscription】

Prince Carter was undoubtedly conflicted.

On the one hand, his sanity is still there, and he has already noticed the hostility released by Marquis Henry.

But on the other hand, under the influence of the [Rose Bewitching Heart State], he had a deep obsession with the giant city of Lentax as if possessed by a demon.

The [Rose Mark] rooted in his heart has a strong control effect.

Its level is also very high, and it cannot be dispelled by conventional dispel magic.

And this kind of control is not mandatory, but a subtle change.

Because during this period, Prince Carter's state was very unstable.

Sometimes sensible, sometimes ridiculous.

It is not ruled out that strong-willed people can resist this confusing effect.

But Prince Carter obviously does not have the condition of firm will.

However, Zong Shen noticed that every time Prince Carter mentioned Penny, he would instantly lose his mind, as if his love brain had suddenly exploded.

You must know that Prince Carter was also wary of Marquis Henry before, and specifically asked Zong Shen and Xiao Heizi about the closure of the teleportation node in the giant city of Lentax.

At that time, the prince still showed some sense.

The problem came when he initiated the subpoena to Grand Duke Jonathan.

As soon as Penny was mentioned, the guy's sanity immediately disappeared.

Although Kaji Mizit cast [Holy Light Dispel] later to no avail.

But Zong Shen knew that neither Grand Duke Jonathan nor Kaji Mizit himself let go of their doubts.

There is a huge contrast between Prince Carter's performance before and after, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be problems.

Therefore, Grand Duke Jonathan should have discovered the seriousness of this matter and decided to talk to Marquis Henry.

Only children are stubborn, while adults only value interests.

For Grand Duke Jonathan, everything is negotiable.

The current situation is very embarrassing, and he can't persuade Carter to be obedient and leave the giant city of Lentax.

Nor can [Glorious Warrior Kaji Mizzit] take him away forcibly.

Because both Kaji Mizit and Dabosi Gladiator Twins have signed the blood contract.

In the contract with the soul as the pledge, Carter's priority was as high as that of Grand Duke Jonathan.

In other words, even if the Grand Duke personally ordered it, under the influence of the Blood Pact, Kaji Mizit and Dabos Gladiator Twins could not go against Prince Carter's wishes!

Of course, Grand Duke Jonathan didn't know that the current gladiator twins had someone else.

But the crux of the problem lies here, which makes him extremely embarrassed.

After the call was hung up, Prince Carter remained silent.

Zong Shen noticed a tangled look on his face.

This is the rationality fighting against the confused state.

[Glorious Warrior Kaji Mizzit], who was always standing behind the prince, didn't make a sound either.

The face under the holy light helmet looked extremely cold and gloomy.

On the scene, only Xiao Heizi still looked carefree.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Zong Shen tactfully kept quiet. While observing the situation, he quietly activated the strategy module to continue searching for news.

...

In the hall on the first floor of the castle, the banquet continued.

It's just that Marquis Henry and Miss Penny were missing.

At this moment, in the secret room on the second floor.

The swordfish regiment and the elite fighters of the swordfish regiment lurking here received the news of evacuation.

At the same time, those legendary powerhouses from the eastern coast who were supported by Princess Anna also left the castle through secret passages.

After the center of the magic circle was destroyed and the Dabos Gladiator Twins arrived, the operation was destined to be unable to continue.

Without the space blockade of the castle's magic circle, the prince has three legendary powerhouses around him, who can easily use his backhand to leave the giant city.

After all, the prince has many life-saving items on him.

So all Marquis Henry can do is continue to delay.

If you delay one day, you will count one day, and if you delay two days, you will earn one day.

In fact, he always felt that something was wrong with him during this period of time.

Not only did his temper become more irritable, but his hostility towards Prince Carter also inexplicably increased.

Before that, he was only vaguely dissatisfied with Carter.

The main reason is that the other party behaved very dandy, and he didn't think much of the giant city of Lentax.

But just these are not enough to make him have such a strong hostility.

Accompanied by his confidant butler, the Marquis Henry entered the closed study room.

Light the lamp, and the yellow firelight shines on the table.

He doesn't like white crystal magic lamps, and is still used to lighting with lamps and candlesticks.

In his opinion, the light of the flame can keep his mind clear and handle official duties more efficiently.

Sitting in front of the chair, he looked at the dancing wick flames, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Since when did I become hostile to Carter?"

He questioned himself, and gradually developed some unusual and strange feelings.

After pondering for a few minutes, a hint of understanding suddenly appeared in Marquis Henry's eyes.

"Penny..."

"It's because of his coveting of Penny!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly revealed his face!

But what followed was deep doubts.

"Penny has reached the age of marriage, and the purpose of the tournament was to select a husband for her."

"If it weren't for the sudden arrival of Prince Carter, Penny would have probably married the best heir of a certain earl or marquis to consolidate the power of the Lancaster family."

"But now that she is favored by the prince, why do I have such a big resentment?"

The corners of Marquis Henry's eyes twitched, the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong!

He finally realized that some kind of weird factor was holding back his thoughts!

You must know that although the previous Marquis Henry loved his little daughter Penny very much.

But he wasn't so pedantic that he wouldn't allow his daughter to marry. At most, he would have higher standards in the selection of Penny's future husband.

The prince is undoubtedly the level of the ceiling among the husband-in-law options.

Why is he dissatisfied?

Confusion occupied all of Marquis Henry's mind.

Although he had doubts, he couldn't understand the reason for all this!

The tangled thoughts made the veins on his forehead twitch violently, and his head became extremely sore.

Just as he was having an inner struggle, the projection of a gray shadow dragon suddenly appeared in front of the table.

From blurry to solid, this projection was always suspended in front of him.

After seeing this projection, Marquis Henry was startled.

"Joe... Grand Duke Jonathan..."

He couldn't help murmuring.

This is an ultra-distance transmission from Archduke Jonathan.

Unlike the Mirror Messenger and Magic Letterhead, it is constructed from one-time scrolls.

It will not be used for non-emergency situations.

After seeing the projection appear, it was not difficult for Marquis Henry to guess that his plan against Prince Carter must have aroused the suspicion of the Grand Duke.

Without dawdling for too long, he stretched out his hand and tapped the phantom of the gray shadow dragon.

After he touched it, the communication was constructed successfully.

The phantom rippled like an ink painting, and the face of Grand Duke Jonathan emerged.

Instead of showing majesty, he showed a gentle smile,

"Oh, Henry."

"It seems like we haven't had a face-to-face conversation for a long time."

"The cold words on magic letter paper cannot replace language communication."

Grand Duke Jonathan greeted him first as if he was chatting with an old friend.

This move not only did not relax Marquis Henry, but made him even more nervous.

But after all, he is a nobleman who has been hypocritical and submissive all the year round. Marquis Henry's expression remained unchanged, and he also smiled.

"Good day, my lord duke."

"Greetings from the great city of Lentax!"

Marquis Henry nodded slightly, and responded politely.

Duke Jonathan in the projection nodded with a smile.

"When you laugh, you look almost exactly like your father."

"The Lancaster family blooms in the hands of your father and son."

Grand Duke Jonathan was about the same age as Old King Guther, and a generation older than Henry.

It's just that he successfully carried out the dragon's blood baptism, so he got a longer life span and maintained a relatively young appearance.

Making Grand Duke Jonathan look like the same age as Marquess Henry.

Hearing him suddenly talking about his father's generation, Marquis Henry's expression was a little stiff.

Because his father once went to the imperial city of San Sebastian to lead the horse for Grand Duke Jonathan when he was young.

The Lancaster family at the time regarded the opportunity to lead the horse as an honor.

For a family like Lancaster, being able to go to the imperial city is an opportunity for the children of the family to get acquainted with the royal family. Whether it is leading a horse or serving as a servant, they can get to know a lot of contacts.

The father of the Marquis Henry was still very young at that time, and he worked hard to win the opportunity to lead the horse to the Grand Duke.

And stayed in the imperial city of San Sebastian for five years.

This experience allowed him to get the support of Grand Duke Jonathan, and he got the position of Patriarch in the subsequent family choices, including the hereditary title and the ruling power of the giant city of Lentax.

If it weren't for the experience of leading the horse, the Lancaster family might not be in control of Marquess Henry now.

Later, the old Marquis died in an accident, and Henry, who had just grown up at that time, also inherited the title with the support of Grand Duke Jonathan, and became the ruler of the giant city.

It is no exaggeration to say that this relationship with the Grand Duke has blessed him and his father for two generations.

And before the old Marquis was alive, the Grand Duke personally opened up many straight roads for the giant city of Lentax.

This is also the basis for the prosperity of the giant city in recent decades.

At that time, King Gutherao was still healthy and maintained the majesty of the ruler of the kingdom.

Grand Duke Jonathan was very low-key and modest, and did not occupy the territory with such a big fanfare as he does now.

Almost all of them support the rulers of various giant cities to secretly win people's hearts.

When the old king of Guser failed in his second baptism and his life was running out, Grand Duke Jonathan finally showed his fangs. The layout of many years was fully displayed, and he quickly gained a large number of fans.

And the giant city of Lentax is undoubtedly one of the layouts of Grand Duke Jonathan.

Both Henry and the old Marquis have received his favor!

Now Grand Duke Jonathan took the initiative to mention his father in front of Marquis Henry, just to emphasize the kindness of secretly helping.

This made Marquis Henry, who had originally thought of various responses, speechless.

There has always been competition within the Lancaster family.

The family line will continue to expand with the reproduction of the offspring, but there is only one position for the succession of the Marquis and the position of the ruler of the giant city of Lentax.

How to stand out from the many heirs is the key to becoming a ruler.

If it weren't for the secret help of Grand Duke Jonathan back then, the father and son might not have been able to compete with the immediate family members of the same age.

Of course, Marquis Henry also understood that this kind of help was purposeful.

But still can't erase the importance of this kindness.

So after a moment of silence, he didn't say anything after all, just sighed leisurely.

"well…"

"Greetings again."

Needless to say, it is too clear.

Grand Duke Jonathan obviously knew what he meant by "greeting again".

"Hehehe..."

He laughed a few times, and then his expression became serious.

"Henry, I can be regarded as watching you grow up step by step."

"Although I don't know why you chose to betray me."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Before you cause irreversible consequences, stop in time."

"Mixed into my struggle with Chloe, you and the Lancaster family will only be crushed."

Grand Duke Jonathan simply showed his cards and stopped playing around.

However, Marquis Henry frowned and remained silent.

In the eyes of Grand Duke Jonathan, this just means that his guilty conscience has broken his defense.

So he said while the iron was hot.

"I don't know why you chose to betray."

"But I have only one request."

"Don't hurt Carter."

"He is my everything, if you dare to hurt him even a hair."

"Believe me!"

"I swear by the name of the Pendragon royal family, I will make the Lancaster family cease to exist."

"All members of the Lancaster family will be included in the assassination list by the Shadow Dragon Guard!"

"Whether it's direct lineage, collateral lineage, or your children!"

Grand Duke Jonathan's expression lost his elegance and became ferocious and crazy.

Prince Carter is his illegitimate son and the only one among all his children who can compete for the throne as the heir to the royal family.

He represents Archduke Jonathan's aspirations for the throne.

When Carter is crowned, Grand Duke Jonathan will be the Guardian of the Realm and Regent of Avalon!

And the throne will be passed down from his lineage from now on.

So he has too much sustenance on Prince Carter!

Grand Duke Jonathan's words are not exaggerated at all.

Prince Carter is truly his everything!

Facing this deterrent warning, Marquis Henry showed hesitation.

He was concerned about the kindness of Grand Duke Jonathan, and worried about the revenge from the Grand Duke.

Just when his lips were moving slightly, and he was about to speak.

A small white hand rested silently on his shoulder.

Turning around, he saw his daughter Penny.

There was no knock on the door, no footsteps, and he came behind him without knowing when.

In the projection, Grand Duke Jonathan's expression remained unchanged, and it seemed that he did not see Penny coming to Marquess Henry.

"Penny...you...?"

"Father, don't waver."

Penny shook her head lightly, and in an instant the imprint of roses lurking in the heart of Marquis Henry moved.

His eyes suddenly changed, from the previous worries and dodges to extremely sharp!

...
