Chapter 23 Official Edition(3/3)

However, this Count, known for his strength, was obviously not satisfied with the welcoming ceremony of such a scale.

In fact, even if he was quite satisfied, he would show a hint of dissatisfaction, because, according to his experience, a picky boss would make his subordinates afraid, and fear would make those subordinates respect their superiors more.

This is the experience of Count Robert over the years, but because of this, he is not popular with others.

He did not have many allies in the court, after all, no one would be willing to get too close to this guy who likes to stab people like a hedgehog.

Although as time went by, Count Robert felt that his strength was too hindering him from climbing to a higher position and allowing him to gain a higher position, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to call the wind and rain in the capital like his cousin.

He believed that he was far above his cousin in terms of talent and diligence.

But this time it was indeed a good opportunity for him to perform.

Earl Robert knew very well that his cousin Earl Rowenel also wanted to be the lord of Serthburg.

He was trying to capture this fat in his arms, but His Majesty the King was obviously more interested in him and stuffed this beautiful woman into his hands.

According to His Majesty the King's will, he was actually a lord, and that young man was just a nominal heir to the lord.

However, what method can be used to pry this lord's heir from this position?

Count Robert had already regretted it. Before coming, he should have learned more about the situation from Mathil.

As far as he knew, Mathil's thoughts were almost the same as himself, except that he was so open that he could control the will of His Majesty the Emperor and was not afraid of fear, while Mathil was completely secretly planning everything.

But whether it is open or dark means.

None of them should lose to this stupid and cowardly proxy lord in front of them.

Moreover, every time the agent lord spoke, he always looked at the lord's heir from time to time. Obviously, he was extremely afraid of the young man.

There is really no reason for this.

With a tremendous amount of doubt in his heart, the Earl Robert read out His Majesty the King's will.

"Everyone of the King of Serth" Earl Robert said in a lengthened tone. He even omitted all the polite greetings that he should have in general: "I have come here thousands of miles away with the will of His Majesty the Supreme King to convey His Majesty's attention to the King of Serth. You all should feel the supreme honor for this. Let us praise our King, and may the gods be with him forever..."

In order to make everyone remember that he came this time, the Count Robert was responsible for the authority of His Majesty, so he exaggerated the king's majesty, and then said: "His Majesty the King has recognized the identity of Mr. Rebbeau Byndiet, who was allowed by the merciful King to give his mother's surname in the middle of his name. My trip is to convey the grace of His Majesty the King and declare that Mr. Rebbeau Medin Baindit inherited the title of Earl of the Medin family, as well as the fief of 529 acres of land on the town of Leding and the southern coast."

The envoy said that he paused here and glanced at everyone's reaction, especially the reaction of the little lord.

What made him feel unhappy was that although most people showed a look of reassurance as if a big stone fell to the ground in their hearts, the little lord heir always looked at him silently, as if the news was not so unexpected and delightful to him.

Count Robert wanted to know how the little lord heir would be when he heard the bad news next, whether he still maintained this indifferent expression or became panicked or furious.

The imperial envoy continued: "However, given that Count Rebo Medin Baindit was young and did not have enough control and use of his property and fiefdom, and as the heir of the Lord of Sethborough, he did not have enough wisdom and qualifications to serve as the governor of Sethborough, so His Majesty the King hereby ordered me to serve as the guardian of Count Rebo Medin Baindit."

The envoy's words were obviously beyond the expectations of most people present.

Because Ribo is not without a guardian, Lord Hyde is his legal guardian, and this is clearly mentioned in the identification book of the heirs of the little lord given to His Majesty the King. It is impossible for His Majesty the King to know about this matter.

The power of a legitimate guardian is no less serious than the hereditary territory of a noble.

In fact, it is precisely because the identity of the legal guardian is sacred and inviolable that it is possible to ensure that the noble territory will not be encroached on by others for this.

"Sir, I already have a guardian, Lord Caveelle Egret Hyde, and His Majesty the King's faithful servant." Rebow said slowly.

He was not worried that the king's order would confuse him, because they had expected that such a thing might have happened.

Earl Robert obviously did not take the little powerless and hereditary Lord seriously.

The reason why His Majesty the King dared to make such a decision rashly was because the legal guardian was just an inconspicuous little nobleman.

Although the identity of the legal guardian is sacred and inviolable, no one will be unable to get over a hereditary Lord and His Majesty the King.

Count Robert said coldly: "His Majesty the King does not think that Lord Hyde can give you enough education. Let a hereditary lord teach you the future lord. No matter who he says it, it is a joke. In view of this, His Majesty the King hereby sends me to be your guardian. I will give you enough education and make you a qualified lord. However, you must be mentally prepared. I am a very strict guardian and absolutely cannot tolerate you to make a fuss."

"I'm sorry, I think His Majesty the King made a mistake. As far as I know, unless the guardian committed such a serious crime as rebellion, no one can deprive the guardian of his duties, even His Majesty the King does not have such power." Ribo said.

"I know the decree very well, but this shows His Majesty the King's concern for you. I don't want to try to explain it, such a thing that anyone can see." Earl Robert said with his face.

"A decree is a decree. Although there may be omissions in the decree, it must be followed. This seems to be what His Majesty V said. Does His Majesty the King think that the most important sentence he said by his ancestor who has been admired by the people of Francis for generations is completely wrong? What's more, His Majesty the King obviously did not properly verify the identity of Lord Hyde. Lord Hyde has sufficient qualifications to serve as my guardian. He is not only a hereditary Lord of the Kingdom of Francis, but also a Knight of the Templar personally granted by His Majesty the Pope. For my guardian proof that it was signed by His Majesty the Pope. I don't know whether His Majesty the King believes that he is sacred and greater than His Majesty the Pope, or whether the Earl thinks he is more noble than His Majesty the Templar." Ruibo said with a smile.

Rebeau's words surprised Count Robert. He never expected that he would encounter such a big trouble just after he arrived in Serthburg.

What surprised him even more was that the guy Mathil obviously concealed everything about Lord Hyde.

According to him, Lord Hyde was just a civilian businessman who started out as a businessman, quite rich but without any background.

It was precisely because he had sworn that in the Fort Serth, he had to tell the king that only Earl Fesnan was the only enemy, and all this was planned by Earl Fesnan alone.

Therefore, His Majesty the King made such arrangements without further investigation and verification.

It was obvious that the Earl of Robert suddenly thought that the Earl of Mathil was finally sheltered from Prince Phillips' protection rather than choosing to hide under His Majesty's wings.

However, at that time, everyone thought that Count Matil had lost its value, and His Majesty the King was glad to get rid of a useless waste.

Since Prince Phillips liked this treasure, he happened to kick this guy to the prince.

Thinking about it now, it is very likely that everything that Earl Matil said was guided by Prince Phillips.

No one knows the contradiction that cannot be dissolved even more than Count Roberto Beard.

In the capital Francis, everyone knows that His Majesty the King is reluctant to let Prince Phillips die early, and the Prince is obviously the same as His Majesty the King. It is precisely because of this that His Majesty the King never receives the envoys sent by the Prince.

If Prince Phillips secretly arranged all this, Count Robert would definitely believe it.

Because he now discovered that His Majesty the King and himself obviously underestimated that Lord Hyde.

Moreover, the plan formulated by His Majesty the King obviously forced him to confront Lord Hyde head-on.

All this is certainly what Prince Phillips is most willing to see.

However, Count Robert also knew very well that he was in a difficult position now.

If you miss this opportunity, His Majesty the King will never appoint himself to handle the matters of Serthborg.

For the king, changing one person to another way to control Sethburg is obviously the best choice.

But if you lose this opportunity, you don’t know when you will have to wait for such an excellent opportunity.

In fact, for Robert, he had waited for this opportunity all his life, because His Majesty the King really didn't have the chance to reuse him for a strong person like him.

The envoy made up his mind to bet everything on this big bet. Anyway, behind him is His Majesty the King, the big dealer. If he wins, he can get a lot of benefits. If he loses, he will at most be no different from going back.

And even if you lose, no one else can get benefits from it.

His Majesty the King should know that Sethburgh is not something he can easily control.

Count Robert knew very well that for His Majesty the King, Serthburgh was not the thing he cared most about.

Compared with the heirs of the lord who decided on Fort Serth, the importance of how to cut the military power in Prince Phillips's hands is obviously a world of difference.

For this reason, His Majesty the King even secretly negotiated with the Kingdom of Francis, the Kingdom of Delizhi.

His Majesty the King is obviously eager to obtain a peace agreement, or even a coalition peace treaty.

In His Majesty's view, although Delizhi was ambitious, he tried to devour Francis.

However, he has six magicians and the undefeated Sacred Knights in his hand, and Yi Lei will never stand by and watch. It is difficult for him to resist attacks from both sides no matter what.

Because of this, compared with Prince Phillips, who directly threatened the king's status, Delizhi was obviously a less dangerous enemy.

Thinking of all this, the envoy said, "Maybe you are not wrong, but the will of His Majesty the King is unquestionable. Since he ordered me to be your guardian, this is the duty I must fulfill, unless His Majesty the King takes it back, and of course I also know that it is illegal to deprive the guardian of his own duty without authorization. Then, let His Majesty the King correct his own mistakes by himself. Please revise a document to prove that Lord Hyde has sufficient qualifications to serve as the guardian of the Lord's heir. I think His Majesty the King will never have any disputes with His Majesty the Pope, but before that, before His Majesty the King sent me to recall me to the capital, I must fulfill my mission, and during this period, I must fulfill my obligations as my guardian."

Count Robert did not intend to compete with Lord Hyde for the power of this guardian. What he wanted was just a confession - acknowledging that he could temporarily exercise the power of the guardian during the period before the king's will had arrived, which was enough for him to completely take Sethborough into his own hands.

What's more, he has another way to make him become the real lord of Serth Castle.

Unlike Count Matil, Count Robert is confident of his own force.

He himself is a good swordsman, and the knights he brought are also the elites among the Royal Knights, at least that's what he thinks.

If someone told him that the knights in his hands could not kill a young man under their control, he would never believe this.

Unfortunately, he did not know from Count Matil that the lord's heir had the identity of a magician.

Count Mathil, who was ordered by Prince Phillips, concealed this most important matter from His Majesty the King.

He did not tell the king that there was a killer with Paladin's strength next to Lord Hyde, and there was a super powerful magician behind them to support everyone.

Earl Mathil never knew who the Masque magician was. His Highness prohibited him from asking anything about it.
