Act 225 Trust
The person Levin mentioned in the letter might have been baffling to Brando before the Elemental Frontier line, but now he knows it all too well - that is Antitina, Bai Tiamas's Descendants of the husband's two children from his first marriage. ↑. She is a bloodline of the Sifah royal family. At the same time, she firmly stood on the side of the traditional southern forces in the disputes between the Fir Territory, Ampelsel, the princess and the royal party, and the subsequent Second Black Rose War. She can be exactly the same. The man who had both sides of his reputation was what Levin said in his letter, "a king who could carry the past grudges and histories of the two families."
Although Eruin has no precedent of a queen, at this point everyone can actually understand that it is time for the ancient kingdom of Eruin to change its tradition. Haruze is excellent, but he is not suitable to be a king. Griffith and Levin respectively represent the forces of the South and the North. As for Brando himself, first of all, if his name is not correct, his words will not be true. He assists Her Royal Highness Princess Regent Eruin beside Griffith. His identity is a knight who is loyal to Corcova's orthodox bloodline and bears honor. It is precisely because of this that he was able to gain a series of favors from the Highland Knights, Lantoniland and the Grand Duke of Viero. But if he takes over Eruin's crown according to Haruze's wishes, then he will be a despicable usurper, and his reputation and honor will disappear because of this, and even the original alliance in the south will fall apart.
Maybe Brando doesn't care about his reputation and honor, but he doesn't want to see the south return to the state of fragmentation and self-government before the Battle of Ampelsel. That can be said to be a disaster for this ancient kingdom.
Haruze is simple-minded and only considers the good side of things. Brando believes that the Zen position he mentioned in the letter is definitely from his sincere thoughts. But Brando also knows that people's hearts are complicated, and the nobles will never view this issue so simply. In fact, just the rise of a powerful official made the traditional aristocratic forces uneasy - his series of moves by the royal party starting from his mission to Cruz showed that the nobles of Jean Denel and Golan-Elson were trying to use He's marginalized. And weaken the trust he has in front of Princess Griffith - thus they will not tolerate him ascending the throne as a prince.
As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, she may have a deeper vision than her brother, but she also has to face a difficult decision-that is, whether to choose to believe Brando-to believe in a man who has been around since the time of Enlek, and even A powerful minister who surpassed the power of Grand Duke Anlek.
This is by no means an empty threat. Brando is the lord of Tonigel, but in fact controls most of the hilly areas south of Gendenel, Vlada-Pace and Anlek. Occupying nearly one-sixth of the land of Eruin, it also controls the most powerful military power of this ancient kingdom.
To put it simply, if Brando and his forces choose to stand aside during the Second Black Rose War, then Eruin will face an even more desperate situation than in history. It is for this reason that Princess Griffin will be determined Standing firmly on the side of Valhalla's forces represented by Brando.
Therefore, Griffin knew the consequences of Haruze's choice, but she still decisively supported her brother. On the one hand, it was because Haruze was not suitable to be the king of Eruin, and on the other hand . She put this choice in his hands and wanted to see his true intentions.
Brando seemed to suddenly remember something. He suddenly folded Levin Onneson Sifach's letter, then opened Haruze's letter, and turned directly to the last page. Sure enough, he found a silver lily in the lower left corner. of ornamentation.
This emblem is exactly the same as the brooch she gave him that day. It is the personal emblem of Her Royal Highness the Princess. It can also prove the authenticity of this letter, if Brando takes this letter to the Noble Council of Eruin and makes it public. Even if he ultimately fails to win the support of the majority, the Corcova royal family will lose its legitimacy because of this letter.
Holding these two letters, Brando felt as heavy as a thousand pounds for a moment.
It was two pieces of heavy trust, one from the eldest son of the king in the north, and the other from Her Royal Highness the Princess.
finally. Princess Griffin put the fate of the kingdom, her fate and that of her brother, unreservedly into his hands.
Eruin's future may depend on his next thought.
There is no doubt that the eldest son of the king in the north also understands this deeply. Therefore, he declined an opportunity in his letter, which may be the closest the Sifah family has come to the throne of Eruin since they lost the favor of the Lion Heart Sword.
But for the sake of Eruin's future, he handed this letter to Brando through the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Freya.
Brando has never known His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king. There is very little description of him in history. He only knows that he is a wise and ambitious man with lofty ideals and ambitions. Because of this, Brando has long been They were all carefully on guard against all the moves of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the king.
But today, Brando suddenly understood what this ideal was and what his ambition was.
"Have you seen it, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Senior Sister, and everyone?" Brando took a deep breath and suddenly felt his eyes were a little astringent: "We are not fighting alone, we are in places that our eyes cannot see. , maybe many people stand side by side with us.”
He raised his head, and it seemed that he was not in a gloomy hall, but back to the hills of Tonigel, and to the rivers and plains of Ampelser. He saw shining flags, and flags raised high. long sword.
The knights swore in unison:
‘May the black pine evergreen,
May Eruin live forever.
May ideals shine as bright as before,
May the sword remain as sharp as ever. ’
The fire of civilization is passed down from generation to generation in the dark wilderness, and Brando seems to have received one of the torches. Under the trusting eyes of the two people holding the torch, the torch was handed over to his hand.
He silently put away the two letters, and at that moment he had made a decision in his heart.
"Freya," he said.
"What's wrong, Brando?" Freya didn't quite understand why Brando suddenly became serious while reading the letter - is there any bad news in the letter? Is His Royal Highness the eldest son planning to take action against the South? She was thinking wildly in her mind.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Freya shook her head.
"There are two main reasons," Brando replied: "The first is about the inheritance of your Valkyrie mark. I have met a woman who has similar power to you and may know the origin and origin of your power. Teach you how to use it in battle. But regarding this, Miss Andrea will tell you the relevant things separately later, so I won’t go into details here to avoid wasting time——"
"Miss Andrea is—?"
Brando turned around and looked towards the terrace. Andrea, who was standing next to Delphine, quickly waved to this side. In fact, Freya had already noticed this girl and nodded to her quickly.
"What about the second one?" Freya turned around and asked.
"The second is the main reason why I asked you to come here."
Freya's expression turned serious after hearing this.
"The war between Eruin and Madara has come to an end, but not because we defeated the undead, but because the undead and us are facing another war."
Brando revealed the war between Madara and the Crystal Cluster, the threat to Warnd at Dusk, and Queen Madara's plan. Freya listened carefully to his statement, showed a thoughtful expression, and then frowned and replied: "Speaking of which, those monsters... I have heard similar rumors in Eruin."
"What?" Brando was surprised. The minions of the Twilight Dragon have already appeared in Eruin?
Freya thought for a moment and replied: "It has something to do with the Cruz people. Since the disaster of the Moon, many refugees from Anzeruta have poured into the kingdom from the northern border. Some of the refugees mentioned the war in the north. , there is a similar monster in words..."
"The war in the north of Cruz..." Brando finally understood. He remembered Queen Madara's words and asked, "Are there any details about that war?"
"No, it is said that the war took place in the north of the Sublime Inland Sea. Most of the refugees from Cruz in Eruin came from Anzeruta. There are only some one-sided rumors about that war." Freya shook her head and replied. Said: "Brasen, do you remember that the White Lions accepted many refugees in the north, and I also heard about these things from them."
Brando remembered this name. Two years ago, the other party had caused trouble for him in Butchi. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, he was separated from the past. All the memories about the police force seemed to have lasted a long time. What happened before.
He asked about Captain Madden's situation in passing, and after learning that the other party had returned to Butchi and was still serving as the guard captain, he couldn't help but smile.
Freya continued to talk about the war in the north. Overall, it seemed that the situation was not very good. The wind elves crossed the golden forest and approached the north of Eruin, as if they were on guard against something. But because the kingdom had just experienced a war, Her Royal Highness the Princess had not yet had time to arrange the envoys.
Brando thought of something and replied: "Well, the wind elves are at least nervous. Maybe this will make our plan easier."
"But Brando," Freya was not so optimistic: "Regarding the alliance between Eruin and Madara, the opinions within the kingdom are not as unified as you think. Do you still remember the question I asked you before? ? In the war-torn areas of Manovel, Karassu, Viero and Golan-Elsen, there are many people who hold the same view. The royal party has seized this opportunity and has spoken to Her Royal Highness the Princess more than once. Attacking you in front of them, they won’t be happy to see your influence further grow within the kingdom.”
Brando sneered. He had already expected these things: "They are just clowns. These short-sighted guys are just scabies."
"Then Brando," Freya saw that he was confident, so she stopped trying to dissuade him. In her heart, there was nothing Brando couldn't do. Ever since they fought their way through the siege of Reedenberg, she had There is no doubt about this: "What kind of message do you want me to bring back to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
