"Just chatting." Geralt seemed to be nothing, and nodded slightly to the female companion with black hair next to the nobleman with a red dress and a waist:

"Baoness Valerdi."

"Mr. Demon Hunter, it seems that Tosent's wonderful life has made you feel a little bit of news..." the female nobleman smiled.

Although her appearance is half apart from the sorcerers at the banquet, her whole body exudes an extremely mature and charming charm.

"You can already call me Baron Valerdi."

The white wolf raised his eyebrows: "Sorry, Baron Mary Valerdi."

The female nobleman stretched out his right hand gracefully to Geralt, and his voice was irresistible magic: "Give me a drink for two drinks, and I will not blame you."

----

Zach looked at Geralt and the woman beside him.

Mary Luisa La Variti.

A woman who is full of luck in a chaotic situation with her personal charm.

Her husband is the late La Valerdi, the Baron of the Castle of La Valerdi, the important town of Termolia.

Her more important identity is the mistress of King Temolia, Fultester, and the mother of the two kings' illegitimate sons.

Two years ago, the witch hunter Reso assassinated King Fultest under the instructions of Vatir, and Mary's two illegitimate sons became legal heirs in the Kingdom of Termolia.

However, at this time, Mary had had enough of Fultest's indifference. She directly betrayed the Kingdom of Termolia and surrendered to the Nifgad Empire, and became Morfan's mistress in private.

Now all political investment has been rewarded, and Temolia was conquered by the empire and became a principality with a high degree of autonomy.

Mary became the real owner of the Castle of Valedi and received the title of baroness, while her six-year-old daughter Anes La Varedi was crowned the queen of the Principality of Termolia.

Of course the actual ruler behind it is Mary Valerdi himself.

"Congratulations to the Duke for holding the beauty back," Zach said coldly.

"Mr. Zach Stuart, what do you say?"

"In a distant world, there is a saying that the country is easy to obtain, but the beauty is hard to find."

Morfan laughed.

He attended the dinner with Mary, making his previous secret personal relationship public and the political alliance between them clear.

I just don’t know what Geralt’s father-in-law thinks.

"Mr. Stuart is very knowledgeable." Morfan leaned forward against the window and looked outside.

“Do you like watching night view very much?”

Zach also turned his head and looked outside.

The lights of the Aritusa Palace knocked the guests on the winding stairs of Sinnied Island, like dancing floating shadows.

A bright and bright moon in the distance is reflected on the sea.

The lights of the fishing boats fluctuate in the dark background.

Everything is like the port city in my dream.

"It's just an old accident person." Zach stroked his black hair that was blown away by the night wind.

Morfan's eyebrows raised, as if he didn't care about Zach's words at all, but said to himself:

"If you have the chance, Mr. Stuart must go to Nifgaard City to take a look. It is much more magnificent than this little Goswellen..."

"All the towers on the roofs of Nifgaard are gilded, and the whole city is as dazzling as gold..."

Zach retracted his gaze and looked at the Duke in front of him with interest above all the people.

Moerfan is his own alternative. If Enshire does not cooperate, he will support Moerfan to take office.

But this level of power change will inevitably trigger a political earthquake or even a full-scale civil war.

If it wasn't necessary, Zach didn't want to waste that time.

Morfan Furis doesn't make much appearance in the story of The Warlock, so Zach doesn't know much about him.

He was very curious about what kind of person the other party was and what kind of ability he had.

What kind of tricks can be played at this summit, and whether it is a better candidate to take on the throne of Nifgaard.

So compared to Emperor Enhill, Zach retained more patience with Morfan.

After all, young people should be given a chance.

"Not only the entire city, the sunset even reflects the Alba River into a golden river..." Molfant continued, his pride as the "Nifgadites with pure blood" was written on the face of the young nobleman.

"After the north is pacified, I will return to Nifgaard. If Mr. Stuart wants, I can condescend and go back to Nifgaard City as a guest. The Empire will definitely serve as a guest..."

"Molfan, you are consuming my not much patience." Zach interrupted him coldly.

The smile froze on the Duke's face. Anger appeared between his eyebrows, but disappeared in an instant, replaced by a more friendly smile.

Morfan thought about it for a moment, looked at the dome in the hall and said:

"Since the change of Sinnied Island, the cool breeze magic at Aritusa Palace has not been repaired..." Then he pretended to wipe his forehead: "If there are too many people in this place, it will be sultry and hot. Does Mr. Stuart want to walk to the glory corridor where there are few people?"

———————————————

The duke and the mage were walking in the open corridor, and leather boots stepped on the smooth marble floor and made a crisp "knock" sound.

The cool sea breeze blew in through the half-open window on one side, making people feel refreshed.

Moerfan stopped in front of a huge painting several meters high.

"What do you think of this work?"

Zach looked at the oil painting hanging between the two windows.

The picture shows an old man in white robe surrounded by everyone. A man dressed in a nobleman kneeled in front of the old man, holding a crown with his hands high. However, the kind-looking old man raised his right hand as if he was rejecting everyone's crown.

The black-haired mage took a deep breath, as if suppressing the irritability in his heart: "The Duke will give you advice."

Morfan smiled, as if completely ignoring Zach's impatience: "Please allow me to tell you this story..."

His voice was as loud as ever, but calm and powerful:

"This old man is "pure white" Rafad, a sorcerer who lived four hundred years ago." Morfan pointed to the old man at the center of the picture: "He mediated the long-term disagreement between the kings of the north at that time, ending the six-year war. Finally, when people asked the warlock to be crowned King of Termolia, Rafad refused, and this incident became a beautiful story. His series of actions also became a role model for later warlocks."

"It is worthy of the glory and good deeds that are recorded in history books." Zach commented.

Morfan looked at Zach: "Your Excellency thinks so?"

"No matter what world is in, the people will always praise the great people who seek peace and benefit the people."

Morfan's expression gradually became serious, and he asked slowly:

"Even if the White Farad was not the legal heir? You know, although he refused to be crowned, he still accepted the position of royal counselor. Under his influence, the intellectually retarded Abdank became the king of Temolia, which made Farad the actual ruler of Temolia. If you know this, would you still say that this is a glory and good deed that deserve praise?"

‘It’s a temptation with a proper measure.’ Zach commented in his heart.

He followed Morfan and said: "How is Farrard's rule?"

"Temolia has good weather and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Power can be held in the hands of those who can use it better." The black-haired mage directly pointed out the words.

A smile appeared on Morfan's pale face.

"Then I will skip all the falsehood and let us make it open and honest."

Yu Guang glanced at the corridor, and there was no one else in the gallery.

"Nifgaard is willing to provide you with everything you need. Whether it is the army, supplies, armor and weapons, or the warlocks of this world, everything can be asked for and taken."

"Do you have the power to represent the Nifgaard Empire?" Zach asked back.

"This doesn't need Mr. Stuart to worry about it. As you said, power will naturally belong to those who can use it better."

Zach looked at the Duke silently and waited quietly for him to continue.

When Moerfan saw that Zach did not refute, his pale face smiled even more:

“I only have two requirements.”

"Um?"

"No matter what happens next, please continue to play your role."

"My character?"

"Yes, an outsider and a bystander."

Zach nodded.

This is not an excessive requirement.

Between Enhill and the Furis family, the latter temporarily has a disadvantage.

No matter what Moerfan is planning, he can stand by and watch. If the Furis family can really defeat the emperor, it can prove their own abilities and value.

The dialogue is well-regarded, the intelligence work is very good, and the attitude is reasonable. It is not an exaggeration to simply ask for neutrality.

Although it is a bit verbose.

But overall, this young man is pretty good.

Thinking of this, Zach asked:

"What about the second one?"
