"Who is it?" The lord thought of the Morag Gang, the notorious assassin organization in the Pancontinent, and the Dark Brotherhood, which was outstanding in its prowess.
"Congressman Amaund Motierre." Platinum Court Cassia said an unfamiliar name: "from an ancient and powerful Brighton family. He has made fierce remarks in public many times, Speech against the "Platinum Agreement."" Eighth Army Commander Platinum Tribunal Cassia said: "But because public speeches are the prerogative of parliamentarians, and the "Platinum Agreement" is indeed a compromise, many imperial citizens who do not know the truth have been gained. support, so he cannot be arrested and convicted. The most terrible thing is that more than one member of this famous family in history has joined the Dark Brotherhood. Even the emperor has rumors that their entire family is a member of the Dark Brotherhood. .”
"So you think that the Motieri family is from the Dark Brotherhood." The lord can ask Astrid, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, who is still training in the castle after being appointed.
"Yes, my lord." Platinum Court Cassia made her own judgment: "But again, there is no evidence."
As the "forgotten hero" who pretended to be the emperor and won the Red Ring Counterattack, Wu Chen naturally knew that just like the "strong man who broke his wrist" and abandoned the imperial capital, the "Platinum Agreement" was also a stopgap measure. However, Titus Meder II, who grew up in the political game with the ancient parliament, forgot that the Nords who died holding a sword could not bear the most is losing their power and humiliating their country. The "Platinum Agreement" concocted by the Thalmor separatist regime was actually aimed at the Nords in Skyrim. As Platinum Tribunal Cassia said, after losing almost all the provinces in a huge war, Cyrodiil could no longer afford to lose Skyrim. The Thalmor regime saw this, so it insisted on banning the belief in Talos, the Ninth Holy Spirit. They even went to great lengths to establish the Thalmor embassy outside Dugu City in order to supervise, judge, and massacre the Nords who believed in Talos. This is a clear sign of alienation between Skyrim and Cyrodiil. The spy lord Ulfric Stormcloak, the Kingslayer, was the Thalmor's secret plan.
Titus Meder II was obviously well aware of Thalmor's sinister plot. That’s why I took this trip.
"Let's talk about your majesty's marriage." The Lord got to the point. This is also the focus of the conversation.
"Victoria Weezy." There was something strange in Platinum Court Cassia's expression.
"I have heard of this name." The Lord's memory was correct. Esgael Snowhoof, the eldest son of the Snowhoof family, Marwen Blackthorn's partner, is the fiancé of Victoria Welch, cousin of Emperor Titus Mede II.
The Snowhoof clan is a staunch supporter of the Stormcloaks. The youngest daughter of the family, Lilia Snowhoof, was even a Stormcloak medic, and is now the distinguished Councilor of Brookwood and one of the 81 promise recipients. Ulwulf Snowhoof and his wife were originally very hostile to the empire, and only the eldest son Esgail Snowhoof of the entire Snowhoof family had made some public remarks in support of the empire. Therefore, his marriage to the Empire was even regarded as a sign of a turning point in the relationship between the Empire and Tianji. Now, is it possible that Emperor Titus Mede II wants to break the engagement and marry his cousin to Baron Ximu, "the last dragonborn" Wu Chen?
"After all, he is just a son of a nobleman, and you are the 'Tenth Lord' of Skyrim." Platinum Tribunal Cassia expressed her resentment: "As people often say, this is politics, isn't it?"
"This is not a good idea." The Lord tactfully refused: "Your Majesty's move will intensify the conflict with the Snowhoof clan and make Esgail Snowhoof also favor the Stormcloaks."
More importantly, this would also create an artificial conflict between Skyrim lords. As the baron of Xueman, Wu Chen, who holds the title of Tarn, must abide by the "Lords Convention" that has strict restrictions on such incidents. And there is no precedent in history for wars like the breakup of an engagement. For example, King Aymeric of Wayrest first proposed to Princess Leyelle, the daughter of King Lancer, but ended up breaking the engagement in 2E 566 and instead married Princess Malaya of Sentinel City. When King Aymeric of Wayrest invited King Lancer Brokenhelm to his wedding, the angry King Lancer recalled his ambassador to Wayrest. In the last month of that year, King Lancer launched a surprise attack on Wayrest City, known as the "Lancer War" in history.
Not to mention the passionate, warlike, stubborn, unflexible, and highly identified sons of Skyrim.
The government of Skyrim is a loose alliance of lords. In addition to the blood inheritance from the previous Supreme King, the Supreme King of Skyrim also needs to have enough strength to subdue the nine lords. Once the successor to the Supreme Throne cannot be recognized by other lords for his strength, he will lose the submission of some lords, resulting in Skyrim melee or schism. The 51-year Successor War and the split between East and West Skyrim are proof of this.
And Skyrim’s relationship with the Empire hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Although since the establishment of the Third Reich, especially the Ninth Holy Spirit Talos has become the most important Nord faith, intensifying the identification with the Empire. But this does not mean that the ancient creed of "Skyrim only submits to the Dragonborn Emperor" or "Taros is the only standard for Skyrim to submit to the Empire" will be easily erased.
The Dragonborn Emperor and Talos, the Ninth Holy Spirit, are indeed the most important spiritual link between Skyrim and the Empire. In addition to iconic factors such as the Dragonborn Emperor and Talos, in order to win over the Lords of Skyrim, the Third Empire also adopted methods such as marriage alliances and Eastern Empire Company trade to strengthen the transfer of interests with Skyrim. The two recorded marriages - Potema's marriage to Dugu and Morihatha's entry into Winterhold - both gave their husbands strong support for their respective wives' royal families and played a certain role in the historical process of the Third Reich. promotion effect.
It is precisely because there is precedent. Therefore, it is the most natural choice for Titus Mader II to obtain dragon blood through marriage and to win over "the living Shur", "the last dragonborn" and "the forgotten hero" Wu Chen. .
But as Lord Ximu, with intuition solidified from the experience of a higher-dimensional plot lord, Wu Chen must refuse.
If he hadn't fought side by side with Titus Mader II, Wu Chen would have almost thought that this was a conspiracy against him.
As the old saying goes: "It is better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage."
That is to say. If it weren't for Titus Mader II's old age and his insanity. That is, the situation of the empire is already in danger and is on the verge of collapse.
Either scenario did not bode well for the Third Reich.
"I heard that destiny will be reset when the contract is granted?" After talking about business matters, Platinum Tribunal Cassia began to talk about personal matters.
"Yes, a mottled contract must be made with virgin blood." The Lord did not hide it.
"Then the fate of 'forgotten ladies' like us will also be reset?" Platinum Court Cassia asked for details.
"Of course." The Lord gave the most convincing answer: "I had not yet understood the 'Crimson Dragon Break' before "Return to the Sky"."
"That's true." Platinum Tribunal Cassia was also affected by the "Clockwork Dragon Break" and had only fragmentary memories of the previous "forgotten adventure". As long as it is not an "unforgettable and indelible" memory point, most of them have been erased by "Clockwork Dragon Break".
"Would you like to continue tonight?" After the song ended, Red Ring Tomb Nail Qiao Na came to take over.
"I have no problem." Platinum Court Cassia was very clear about this memory.
"That's good." The Lord would not refuse.
After a while (┑(~Д~)┍).
The peaceful morning in Ximu was interrupted by screams.
I saw panicked people everywhere on the bustling Ximu Street. And behind the crowd fleeing, there were blazing firemen.
They were all decent residents who moved to the city from all over Tamriel.
However, they were burned into pieces without any warning. Some firemen suddenly turned into a group of flaming bats scurrying around while wailing in pain. It set fire to shop tents and clothes hanging to dry, causing a greater commotion and then turned into flints falling from the air. Then it twisted and fluttered on the ground, and finally turned into ashes.
The hero who was forgotten in the pile of makeup and powder, the lord opened his eyes gently: "The 'big plan' was successful."
