Chapter 443

Although having your own personal power is not a bad thing, Alsace chose such a large piece of gray property.

It would have been fine in normal times, but by chance Francois was assassinated. At this time, all nobles closely involved with Gray Estate would be investigated.

But for Elsa, this is not a bad thing.

Originally, Alsace was considered to be on the same side as the old aristocrats, and he also deliberately created his character in that direction. However, if Alsace might have assassinated Francois, the matter If word spreads among the nobles, his approval rating will probably drop a lot.

…

"Father, I know I was wrong!" The young Downey knelt in front of Giovanni, lowered his head and apologized seriously.

"Wrong? Where did you go wrong?!"

"I...I shouldn't let my servants beat others up..."

"Is this where you made the mistake?" Giovanni frowned upon hearing this.

"It's...isn't it?" Donnie asked with sobs.

"The only mistake you made was letting others find out!" Giovanni taught.

"Think about it, that person offended you and you don't like him, right?" With that said, Giovanni began to seduce Donnie.

"Yeah." Danny nodded.

"Then, wouldn't it be better than teaching him a lesson and never seeing him again?"

When young Donnie heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, filled with disbelief.

"Your servant beat him up, and he can still complain to others. Then you will still be discovered, right?"

"So, once you find someone who offends you, someone you don't want to meet, either don't take action and let others think you have a good relationship with him, or just kill him directly so that he can never make you feel disgusted again. "After saying this, Giovanni smiled.

"How about it? Is it a good idea?"

"That's what father taught you."

"So, I give you one year. After one year, I don't want to hear any news about the count's son." Giovanni said.

This matter itself was a matter between two children. It was nothing for Downey to teach the earl's son, but the earl was also a tough guy, and he actually had to come to him to find an explanation. Qiao After all, Varney is a Duke and needs to maintain a good image, so he symbolically punishes Downey.

After seeing Downey being punished, the count saved his face and left with satisfaction.

However, a year later, his son disappeared during a hunting trip. The earl became mad because of the loss of his beloved son, and eventually the territory was inherited by a branch of the family.

This was the first time that Downey had followed Giovanni's instructions. When he saw that he could actually control the fate of others, Downey gradually began to indulge in this feeling.

Downey's character became distorted as he vented all the pressure he had received from his father on others.

However, in front of Giovanni, Downey still habitually acted as an incompetent son. Only in this way could Giovanni be able to safely treat him as a child.

After reading Zenit's letter to him, Downey recalled his childhood and laughed blankly.

"Mr. Zenit, you are really my mentor." As he said this, Downey's eyes narrowed and he looked at a painting hanging in his room.

Indeed, it is impossible for me to break away from Giovanni's control now. Having lost my trust, I can only follow Giovanni's pace again.

Just like the sentence in the letter.

If you want to break through the life that has been arranged by others, you can only first accept the power and obey the current situation. I believe that Mr. Tangni, you have endured it for nearly twenty years, and you will not be unable to endure it in these few months.

"Mr. Zenit, what you said is so right." He said softly.

…

Duchy of Orleans.

After the examination of Francois' body was completed, it was quickly transported back to the Duke of Orleans for burial.

At this funeral, because of the special cause of Francois' death, only members of the Tullous family attended.

After handling Francois's funeral, the Duchy of Orleans resumed normal operations.

However, sitting in the Duke's office is not the current Regent Sean, Duke of Orleans, but Henry, Duke of Orleans himself, who is only fourteen years old.

"Uncle Sean, thank you for your help, I can secure this position." Henry sat in his father's seat, looked at Sean in front of him, and thanked him.

"It doesn't matter." Sean said, showing a flattering smile.

"If everything is as you said, then our Duchy of Orleans' hegemony will be just around the corner."

"Don't worry, Uncle Sean, I will use the knowledge I bring to lead us to victory." Henry said this, showing an unknown smile.

Yes, Henry is the reincarnation.

In his previous life, after his father was assassinated, due to Sean's poor management skills, he gradually lost power. He lost his position as regent before Henry could even take charge. Later, Henry was also ignored by the newly appointed regent. .

In the second half of his life, Henry lived in the shadow of the regent as a puppet duke. Finally, once he refuted the regent at a banquet and cursed him as a thief and robber, causing the regent to lose all face.

Although the regent could not do anything to him outside, Henry finally received a cup of poisoned wine that night after returning to the Duke's Mansion.

After drinking the poisoned wine, Henry did not die, but returned to his youth.

When he saw the time, he was stunned.

It was just when his father was assassinated.

He knew that he could not save his father by any means, so he simply set his sights on others.

His first goal was to find his regent Sean in his previous life.

To be fair, although Sean was not capable, the most important thing for a regent was not to covet power, which Sean did very well.

If there were no accidents, Sean could have peacefully transitioned to Henry's growth.

That night, as soon as Henry met Sean, Henry told him his purpose.

"Father will be assassinated tonight, and he may not survive tonight." He said very scary words in an extremely calm tone, and Sean did not react for a while.

"Henry! How can you curse your father to death like this?"

"I'm not cursing, Uncle Sean, you have to believe me, I'm reincarnated from the afterlife, and now I can only save you and me!"

Sean didn't believe it at first, and even thought Henry was crazy, so he quickly sent someone to send Henry back.

But an hour later, the news from Saint Laurent City made Sean dumbfounded.

Afterwards, he quickly invited Henry back, and after listening to Henry's experience in the previous life, Sean was silent for a long time.

In the previous life, the results of him and Henry were not good. Henry died of a glass of poisoned wine, and Sean died "accidentally" in a hunting trip after being deprived of the regency.

In the end, Sean chose to believe Henry. He didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in the end, even though everything was just what Henry said.

So, that night, Sean helped Henry run all the famous families in Paris City, conveying the news of Francois's death while helping Henry.

After that, several people rushed to Saint Laurent City almost non-stop.

He had seen his father's death once in his previous life. This time, Henry did not cry, but stood silently in the middle of the crowd.

In his previous life, the cause of his father's death was also unclear. In the end, the royal family hastily gave the results of the investigation and did not find the real murderer.

Even if Henry wanted to investigate, he was just wasting time because he had lost a lot of intelligence clues.

His death in his previous life was unclear. In this life, Henry vowed to take back all that he had lost.

Whether it was the regent who killed him or the cause of his father's death, he must avenge all these hatreds!

With this idea in mind, Henry quickly started his revenge plan after taking power.

The first one was the regent in his previous life. Sean trusted others credulously, which gave the regent an opportunity to take advantage of him, but now, the other party has been imprisoned by him on a series of charges.

What awaits him will be what he once did to Henry.

Chapter 79: Will you be disappointed?

But as Henry got to know more and more about the information of this world, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

The first was Orson.

In his original memory, this leader of the younger generation of the empire, an absolute favorite of heaven, had already been ruined before his father was assassinated because of the breakdown of his relationship with his brother Litt, and the exposure of his secret tricks and conspiracies against Litt, but he actually saw Orson and Elsa sitting together.

Henry knew Orson of course. Before Mary got into trouble, the two families were still relatives and had exchanges with each other. The relationship between the two families had always been pretty good. It was not until Orson got into trouble that Mary was also exposed and expelled from the family, and then the two families stopped communicating.

Henry remembered the details of Orson's original situation clearly. In the battle under the watchful eyes of the public, Orson used the power of the devil in the future inheritance of the family.

Even so, he failed to defeat Litt.

After the defeat, Orson lost all his strength, and his final whereabouts were unknown.

Henry was very surprised. Although he had traveled back, the world line seemed to have changed.

In the past few days, he learned that Orson and Litt did not turn against each other like in the previous world line, but worked together to develop the Dukedom of Antica and repelled the attack from the orcs.

With this achievement, Orson did not fall into disgrace like Henry's previous life, but became a great hero of the empire, and even surpassed some dukes in reputation.

However, all this was exchanged for Orson giving up his inheritance rights.

This made Henry very puzzled.

In the previous life, Orson and Litt had an irreconcilable conflict over the duke's inheritance rights, but now not only did they not have an irreconcilable conflict, but the relationship between the two brothers was very good.

Could it be that this Orson was also reincarnated?

This thought stayed in Henry's mind for a short moment, and he finally shook his head.

It should be impossible, it's just that the world line he traveled back to has changed.

Thinking of this, Henry got up and came to the basement of the duke's mansion.

The basement at this moment has been transformed into a prison cell, and a middle-aged man is chained to his limbs, tightly huddled in a corner of the cell.

He is the man who once left a deep shadow on Henry, the earl of the Duke of Orleans, Fulton.

"Earl Fulton, how are you?" Henry smiled and looked at the man in front of him.

"How are you, Duke Henry." The middle-aged man named Fulton no longer has the dignity of his previous life. His beard and hair are messy. He hasn't taken a bath for a long time and exudes an unpleasant smell.

"I didn't expect that you would have such a miserable day." Henry snorted coldly.

"I don't quite understand, Duke, why do you want to trap me here? There are only two of us here. Let's not talk about it in secret. You know what those charges are." Fulton said, raised his head, and looked at Henry calmly.

"It's normal that you don't understand." Henry said, sitting in front of Fulton.

"I'll tell you directly, I plan to instigate Uncle Sean's regency in the future, and then take the power of the entire Duke of Orleans into my own hands. Even if I come of age in the future, you will still hold the power firmly and be unwilling to give up power."

"You said, if I don't trap you now before you develop as a powerful minister with great ambition and strong ability, do I have to wait until you gain Uncle Sean's trust and make me a puppet before I resist?"

"Hehe, Duke Henry, are you a little too worried?" Fulton heard Henry say this, and his heart was full of disdain.

Only a three-year-old child would believe this reason, right?

Not to mention that he is only an earl now, even if he really gains Sean's trust as he said in the future, how can he undermine the duke? Is it blind to be an emperor?

"Duke Henry, do you think your words are reliable? You are not reborn from the future."

"Oh, is that true?"

"Do you really think that I am not reborn from the future?"

Fulton's eyes widened.

"But... even if you are back from the future, I haven't done anything wrong now, right? It is against the law of the empire to imprison me like this?"

"Well, maybe it is true." Henry nodded, "But I don't regret it. After all, I came for 'revenge'."

He emphasized the word revenge, and then stood up.

"Earl Fulton, you just wait to die in this dungeon. No one will come to save you."

As for the fact that he was a reborn person, Henry only wanted to let himself and Sean know. After telling Fulton that he was a reborn person, the meaning was very obvious.

He couldn't walk to the outside world alive.

Just when Henry walked up one floor from the dungeon, Sean was already waiting for him in the living room.

"My Lord, Fulton's family members are making trouble outside the palace. They say Fulton was wronged and they won't leave until Fulton is released."

"Ignore them." Henry waved his hand. "The charges are clear, and he must be punished."

"If they insist on rebelling, let them try to see what happens to those who disobey the Duke."

"I see." Sean nodded. "Then, there is another question, about Francois. The royal family has been reporting progress to us in real time during the investigation recently, but for some reason, they haven't reported in the past two days, saying that there is no progress."

"How can there be no progress!" Henry said this, and his emotions suddenly became excited.

This was the case in the previous life. The royal family investigated and investigated, and suddenly there was no news, and finally it was closed as an unsolved case. This has also become a knot in Henry's heart that he has never been able to resolve.
