Chapter 1,133 Bloody Revenge
"Do you think the friendship between us can still be the same as before?"
"It doesn't need to be the same as in the past. As long as His Excellency the Grand Duke has enemies he wants to deal with more, then I, who made a little mistake, can still be a good ally. At least I think my magic will be more effective in the next struggle. It should come in handy, right? If we really want to settle the matter, we will have to eradicate the common enemy, and then we can calculate the accounts accumulated over time between us."
Recalling the magician who said he was kind but was actually so snobbish at heart that he didn't know how to evaluate him, Duke Kawei couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile. It was as if before every battle, he was ready to tear the enemy into pieces.
Maybe I have been silent for too long, and people have forgotten how the Kavi family accumulated martial arts. Although his appearance looks the same as that of an old man, he has crossed the extraordinary boundary and his life span is no longer that of a normal person.
To put it bluntly, as long as you don't take the initiative to give up your position as head of the family, you may not be able to give up your position to your descendants until your great-grandson is born. Not to mention, he could survive several emperors.
This is why, when someone wants to leave the center of power, Kaweigong is not surprised at all, and even takes it for granted. Taking the initiative to give in, I just want to save some face for the other party and some energy for the empire. But this does not mean that anyone can challenge their own limits and harm their own blood!
And someone wants to provoke me like this... No! This is no longer a provocation, but an unmistakable declaration of war. A fight that begins with one's own blood relatives and will not end unless one side falls.
It's just that before today, I was too stupid to realize that the war had started.
Staying in the Duke's Mansion Villa, which is the automobile manufacturing and R&D center and is specially designed to provide a place for oneself to rest, Duke Kawei stood in front of the window sill, looking up at the unchanging starry sky. It was as if he was seeing the sky under the dark night for the first time, and it felt so fresh.
The old Duke was well aware of someone's habit of stargazing. But today he couldn't help but think about what the starry sky looked like in his eyes. Is this the way you look at the evolution of the world from a high position?
"Come here, call everyone." Duke Kawei said in a confused manner. The deacons accompanying him immediately knew that the old Duke wanted to see those people.
Although this is not the territory of the Duke's family, there are many prominent figures in the family.
The captains of half of the Duke's Guards who were originally responsible for guarding the automobile manufacturing and R&D center; the captains of the other half of the Guards who came with the old Duke; and the deacons responsible for family affairs. Unless they have special tasks, these people are Follow the old Duke, the head of the family, to heaven and earth. After hearing the summons, these people quickly gathered in the living room of the annex.
The silent back of the old Duke was a bit unfamiliar to the young people who had recently followed him. In their memories, the head of the family, who had the realm of an extraordinary person, had always been able to do it with ease. But for those old people, even those who have been serving since they were young, such a back view has been a long time coming.
I remember the last time I saw the head of the family so distressed, it was the battle that decided the fate of the family and the fate of His Majesty the Emperor. The one who was not His Majesty the Emperor at that time did not sit on the supreme throne smoothly after the death of the late Emperor. If he had made a mistake at that time, the fate of the entire family and the empire would have been very different.
However, there are still things that can trouble today's Grand Duke?
Despite the fact that there is a lot of nastiness between the monarch and his ministers, in fact, they are all trivial matters that do not hurt the bones. Unless the Grand Duke rebels today, His Majesty the Emperor will not go to extremes. Then who else could cause such trouble to the Grand Duke.
"Early tomorrow morning, -" the old Duke's voice was unusual and majestic, just like when he made important decisions in the past, "--we will use all our strength to clear out the camp opposite. No one from the Rizal family will be left behind. I understand." .”
It sounds like a question, but it has an irresistible meaning.
The young people were surprised by such an instruction, but under the authority of the Grand Duke, they did not dare to have any objections. On the contrary, the old men who had been following for a long time knew the seriousness of this matter and warned them one after another: "Master, if you do this just for the sake of things here, it is the same as declaring war on Duke Risa. Please consider it carefully." "Yes." Ah, please be careful."
Among them, the oldest and confidant deacon who had followed the old duke for the longest time was even more polite, but said doubtfully: "Master, is this the provocation that the magician said? Does he have enough evidence to prove what he said? ?”
Unfortunately, these sincere persuasion had no effect. Instead, the old man turned around and looked at everyone with dissatisfaction. "The so-called evidence is only something I need when I want to convince the emperor. You are all my vassals. You only need to implement my will. What evidence do I need to provide to you? I feel like I am fighting. It’s an unjust war. Those who go against their own beliefs can leave. I won’t stop you. Just go. Disappear from my eyes forever.”
The undeniable words made everyone feel that things seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction. But the old Duke's instructions were not over yet.
He went past the old deacon who would usually be the first to give the order, the one who had just raised the question. He turned to look at the other young deacon and said, "Send a message to the people left behind at home and ask them to take out the contents of the last warehouse." Organize. It has been useless for generations. If you take it out for use, the result will be scattered and ugly."
Even those who were dissatisfied felt that something was wrong after hearing the old Duke's instructions. That warehouse, which had not been used for generations, contained the family's bloody flag. Taking out this thing represents the blood feud between the family's closest relatives, and it will also be a situation that will never end. At this time, even if the emperor intervenes, it may not be useful, because the blood feud must have a result.
In the history of the Gwana Empire, whenever the bloody flag appeared, it represented the disappearance of a family or the decline of two families. No exceptions. But there has never been a grand duke who raised a bloody flag towards another grand duke. What happened?
Someone with a flexible mind immediately thought of the Grand Duke's daughter. Although that person was said to have died of illness, he was the only one among the generations of the Grand Duke's family whose cause of death was doubtful. At least, that person is not someone who lives his life safely in his own territory because of his age. Especially the fact that both husband and wife died of illness at the same time, looking back now, is indeed a bit strange.
So did the Grand Duke know any evidence?
