148. Guardian
Winter tree is a tree species that only grows leaves in winter. Its white appearance is no different from the color of snow, and it is not delicate in appearance.
In Duke Tobias Ridge, it is very ordinary, but also very special.
Before the Duke Tobias family established a foothold, this place was a war-torn place.
The leaves grown by the winter tree in winter have become food for common people during the winter. They do not taste good but they can satisfy their hunger. They represent a kind of protection. The winter tree, the sword blade, and the dragon head are all stacked together.
The elements that make up the Tobias family represent protection, conquest and honor respectively.
Fuztel leaned against the winter tree alone and sat quietly to rest.
He likes it here, he can always find rare peace here.
He doesn't have to respond to his father's expectant gaze, and he doesn't have to shoulder the responsibility of being the heir to the Tobias family. Here, he is just him.
Parents always expect their children to surpass themselves, but it is never that easy. His father, Tyler Tobias, is a legend in the Kingdom of Fei. Even the kings of this generation are not as famous as him. It sounds like this
It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is true. He has been involved in everything from politics and etiquette to history and economics, and has achieved profound results. Even at the current stage, the Royal Family of the Scarlet Kingdom is still following the economic strategies he formulated.
.
Fuztel has grown up under such expectant eyes since he was a child. He was once proud of this kind of eyes, but his attempts again and again resulted in failure. Gradually, as he grew up, he also understood
Now... there is one thing that is crucial, and that is talent, and he just lacks talent. In the end, Tyler Tobias's expectant gaze became his nightmare, and he was afraid of that gaze.
I am afraid that I will live up to my father's expectations.
"You're here again." Feldra sighed.
Seeing the person coming, Fuztel stood up quickly and said, "Teacher..."
For this teacher, Fuzteler showed full respect. The Lemu family has unique talents in political and economic management. Fidella Mueller, the financial officer in charge of Duke Tobias Ridge, is not only him.
He is a teacher and the right-hand man of his father, Archduke Tobias. It can be said that 80% of the work of Duke Tobias Ridge was completed by him. His father is more like a beacon, responsible for leading the direction.
"You shouldn't waste your time here. There is no protection here, just a dead branch in the courtyard that has not yet opened its leaves. In the eyes of others, this may symbolize Duke Tobias Ridge, but you understand.
Nobles do not accept this trick, they value more real wealth and power."
Fedra showed a painful expression, "I have watched you grow up. In the past ten years, I have watched you transform from a swaddled baby to a depressed teenager. For me, if I have a choice, I would rather
Support you."
"You support my brother?" Fuzdiel was not surprised. In fact, Lanfrick made him feel stronger and better.
"The Lemu family only chooses the best choice." Feldra's face revealed helplessness, "Even if I don't choose him..., the family will force me to make a choice. For them, unless they give Lemu
The order of Grand Duke Tobias of the family, otherwise nothing is more important than the interests of the family."
"I don't blame you." Fuztel said softly. In fact, it should be said that if the benefits are sufficient, for them, even the Tobias family can give up. This is a painful disease among the nobles, and only a few of them can give it up.
The nobles can abide by their oaths and follow the character of loyalty.
Feldra sighed, but the dull expression on his face did not change due to Foztel's words.
"Now, you have a chance."
"Expose yourself to Archduke Tobias again."
"The envoy... is here!"
Furzteler paused, and asked seriously: "What should I do?"
"Let them put away their covetous thoughts and go back in despair." Feldra's words were filled with indignation.
"Forgive me for being a little excited, but you shouldn't waste your time here now. I hope... you will be able to regain the competition soon, and by then I will be more willing to choose you."
"You know, I'm... not very popular with my father..." Fuztel struggled, "Maybe it would be a good thing for the whole family to make my younger brother the heir to the duke."
"Don't say such depressing words!"
Fielder stretched out his hand to pull Fuzteler up, and he took out a poorly wrapped candy from his brand new clothes.
Fuzdiel knew this. This was what Feldra bought when he took him out of the palace for the first time, a box of candies. A commoner child looked at the candy he bought and showed a greedy look. He took a candy
After giving it to him, the child showed a happy face. Only then did he understand that it was very easy to make the people of the territory happy.
"I want to make the people of Duke Tobias Ridge smile." He put down his arrogance.
Feldera took one of the candies and said, "The Lemu family are the best at investing. This candy is your guarantee. I hope you will fulfill your words."
"..I will not give up." Fuzdiel regained his determination to fight.
Feldera left with satisfaction.
But the moment he left, Fuztel's face fell.
He became nervous.
His father is not a person who likes to talk nonsense.
His teacher is not someone who would do anything without profit.
Very well, the two are connected together, that is, his beloved teacher has betrayed him, and his father has given him a warning.
A dagger is a tool for hurting others, but it is also a tool for self-rescue. My father hopes that he will complete the process of self-rescue!
Fuzdiel's insensitive brain started working quickly. His teacher asked him to drive away the envoys. What was the purpose of this?
He wants to find his purpose!
If the envoys were driven away, how would it help his brother Lanfric?
There are benefits, but that is for Duke Tobias Ridge. Peace can certainly reap benefits.
Fuzdiel's thought suddenly came to his mind: What if the purpose of Teacher Feldra was not to drive away the envoys?
His father gave him the job, and when he asked for help, he asked him to seek help from his teacher Feldra. If that was a warning, was it also a warning to himself not to trust Feldra?
When he handed the matter over to Feldera, Feldera in turn assigned the matter to him.
Is there anything Lanfrick lacks? Yes, that is the identity of the Duke's heir. If this mission not only fails to succeed, but fails because of his relationship, he will lose the trust of the subjects in the territory.
, at this time, if his father, Archduke Tobias, had not declared his support, the identity of the duke's heir would not be so unshakable in the eyes of the nobles. They hoped for a leader who could bring them benefits.
However, even if he guesses the purpose, can he stop it?
Is there anyone I can use at Duke Ridge?
Fuztel thought to himself that... his status as the duke's heir was his biggest bargaining chip.
He is the legal heir, and now he has new ideas.
