Chapter 3397 Hypocrite
Since ancient times, being captured has not been a good thing.
Because it means losing freedom and becoming a decoration in the hands of others.
Even ordinary people understand this, let alone Cagalli, who comes from a royal family.
Once she is captured, not only will it implicate the Fearless Guild and me, but she will also be a trap for herself.
Why did the old Duke not take any coercive measures against the Fergus family after putting them under house arrest?
For example, forcing the Fergus family to swear allegiance to the old Duke's family, or forcing Fergus Illidan to end his marriage to his wife and marry an unknown woman from the old Duke's family, or force , forcing the princess of the Fergus family to marry a man from the old Duke family?
Why didn't it happen?
It's not because Fergus Cagalli never fell into their hands!
As long as Fergus Cagalli is not captured by the old Duke for a day, the old Duke will not dare to do anything to the Fergus family.
After all, this direct royal bloodline of the Fergus family has the legal right to inherit the throne.
Once the old Duke does something that is not acceptable to the common sense of human ethics in Zefeng Continent, Fergus Cagalli can openly bring justice and attack the old Duke's family.
The old Duke's family will be isolated due to lack of righteousness, and in the end the entire family will suffer disaster.
Therefore, whether the Fergus family can survive this disaster safely depends on whether Fergus Cagalli is caught by the old Duke.
Furthermore, as long as Cagalli is not caught by the old Duke as a shield, no country in the Zephyr Continent would dare to harm Cagalli easily.
All of this is thanks to Master Dewey.
Although my relationship with Master Dewey has not been made public in Hefeng Continent, many high-ranking officials or informants can access it. These people are very aware of Master Dewey’s energy, and also because of my high profile in recent times. When I came on stage, I also had a little analysis of my energy.
The leaders of this group of ghosts and ghosts know very well that neither Master Dewey nor I can be shaken by any family force.
At the same time, both Master Dewey and I have the ability to destroy any family easily.
This principle is understood by families with some power and connections.
For this reason, the old Duke did not dare to do anything to the family of Cagalli, who is still my fiancée.
However, once Cagalli was caught by the old Duke's people for her own reasons and forced her to marry a child of the old Duke's family, I would lose my sense of rescuing Cagalli and rashly attack the old Duke's family. It would also be regarded as a blatant invasion of Dashai City.
By then, not only will Cagalli not be able to get it back, but one of her own people may also get involved.
Thinking of this, and looking at Cagalli's worried expression, I told her the possible consequences one by one, and said that if you are really overly compassionate and are caught by the old Duke's people, and are intimidated and If someone else gets married, even if I snatch you back, I can only lead everyone to live a life of escape from now on.
Then, I said with a wry smile, in fact, you can also escape to live in the devil world, where I have some acquaintances, but it is impossible to return to Zephyr Continent, and you probably will not be able to see your parents again.
As soon as these words came out, Cagalli's face suddenly turned pale, and she said a little unnaturally: "No, how could I do such a stupid thing."
After that, he fell silent. After a while, he got up, went back to the house, and lay down on the sofa.
Looking at her leaving back, I smiled.
Cagalli must have listened to what I said, and also knew the price of impulsiveness.
This is good.
As long as she takes everything into consideration, she will not be impulsive or reckless.
As long as she is not impulsive and reckless and does not fall into the trap of the old Duke, the old Duke will not dare to do anything to her family.
And as long as this national war reduces the military strength of Dashai City by one-fifth, and then relies on secret chess to operate, it will inevitably cause a mutiny.
As long as there are mutinies in a few places, I am sure that the momentum of this mutiny will spread throughout the entire city of Darsay. At that time, even if the old Duke still loves power, he will inevitably abdicate and return the crown and power to the Orc King. .
In other words, the core part of regaining power this time and Qingjun's side is that Cagalli cannot be caught.
Although I can see that after hearing what I said before, the possibility of Cagalli being impulsive will decrease, but the decrease does not mean that it will never happen.
Cagalli's character is very much like that of a knight, happy with revenge, and kind-hearted and passionate.
As long as you sense injustice or people suffering, you will feel uneasy and always want to eradicate evil, restore clarity to the world, and bring peace to the country.
If she wasn't a princess, she would probably have been beaten to death.
It's not that it's not good to be kind and passionate, but she is too passionate and has even stepped into the ranks of meddling.
I believe that the calculation this time was also because the old Duke was sure that Cagalli would be kindhearted because of the people's suffering, and maybe he could take this opportunity to persuade her to return to the country.
I think that if the old Duke really had such an idea, he would not give up lobbying, but would choose to continue to add fuel to the fire and make the situation in Dashai City even more bleak and bleak.
Thinking of this, I opened the door, called Cagalli, and told her what I wanted to say. In particular, I pointed out that if the old Duke really came to seduce you, he would definitely order someone to further lobby you, and If you want to uncover his true intentions, I suggest you first pretend to be concerned about the country and the people to confuse the messenger.
Although Cagalli didn't like to lie, in order to verify whether my guess was correct, she had to put on a worried expression. Accompanied by the ice fire girl, she and the envoy who blocked the road again went to a nearby restaurant.
When she came back this time, Cagalli did not sit in the yard, but lay on the sofa with a gloomy expression.
After a little hesitation, I stepped forward and asked, "Am I right?"
She nodded slightly.
"How serious did the messenger say the situation was?"
"If I don't go back, Dashai City may fall into an abyss. People will be in chaos, soldiers will mutiny, and wars will break out. Each town will declare itself king. It's scary anyway."
"That's right," I sneered, "They just want to see you get confused because of excessive worry, and finally fall into a trap. If my prediction is correct, the old Duke may have prepared a wedding dress for you. Just wait until you fall into the trap and force you to marry his descendants with all kinds of despicable conditions."
"I won't agree to it."
Cagalli said firmly.
"No, you will agree."
"You don't believe me?" Cagalli frowned and stared at me.
"You are a gentleman, but the old Duke is a hypocrite, and he is still a hypocrite who has torn off the pretense. He will use conditions you cannot refuse to force you to agree to his demands, for example, your family's reputation."
