Alex saw clearly how Aiden delegated power to him. If you have read this chapter, please go to :奇中文字幕.com to read the latest chapter
On the one hand, Aiden's body is aging rapidly and he is less energetic than before. He needs someone to help him handle government affairs.
On the other hand, Aiden, who holds tight military power, lets Alex handle government affairs, which is a means of restraint.
Alex now regrets sending his son the secret message.
Aiden's method of faking death was so clever that he deceived himself. Until Aiden appeared in public, all the feedback information led Alex to believe that something had happened to Aiden.
Although he didn't know why Aiden terminated his original plan, this made Alex more alert. In the city of Alterac, his control was not as high as he thought.
When the personal butler Lucen Sackhoff pushed the dining cart to Alex's office room, the Grand Duke waved his hand, and everyone bowed and stepped aside, leaving His Excellency the Duke's private space for dining.
"Master, today's venison is fresh. Luoyan used a trap to replenish the stock yesterday and killed it this morning." The butler explained while arranging the tableware.
"Really? Go down and tell them that I understand the kindness, so there is no need to spend time on these aspects." Alex replied calmly.
"It's the order of the young master and madam. You have been overworked recently. They hope that you will eat better, and it is just an ordinary deer." After finishing speaking, Lucen Sackhoff stepped aside.
Hearing this, Alex Barov's hand twitched unnaturally, and then he put down his knife and fork, using his large movements when pouring the wine to cover up his gaffe.
"In this case, I will eat more." Alex said
By entering the palace, although they gained the initiative in the situation, they lost the confidentiality of their actions. From the moment he stepped into the palace, Alex was always under surveillance: the maids who were cleaning, the attendants who were standing guard, and the guards who were on duty at night. The king's faction, the great nobles, the military faction, foreign spies, everyone who cares about the situation in the Kingdom of Alterac will keep an eye on the Grand Duke of the Barov family.
There are advantages and disadvantages. Alex puts himself on the bright side, so his subordinates have more room to act.
Lu Sen is a good housekeeper, but he is definitely not a good intelligence officer. The words he just said did not have much hidden meaning.
But Luo Yan, Ordinary Deer, and the Young Master's instructions, these three code words put together are a great signal.
A few months ago, his son, a general in the Alliance, secretly transferred his forces back to Alterac and put them under his command. It was only then that Alex discovered that he had underestimated his eldest son Carlos, who had wanted to be king since he was a child.
From the moment the alliance was formed, Carlos was poaching Aiden. For more than a year, a major general named Carlos secretly developed a private army of more than 500 people and lurked in the city of Alterac. .
Shocked by his son's frenzied actions, Alex, who is accustomed to using political means to solve problems, acquiesced to all this after much hesitation.
Whether it was childhood friendship or decades of friendship, Alex had no intention of harming Aiden. Even if things come to this point, Alex still hopes that everything can be resolved peacefully and satisfactorily.
Because Alex thinks he has a chance to win, the finance minister supports the Barov family, the palace garrison supports the Barov family, the mayor of Stormblad supports the Barov family, and the Highland Mountain People's Council supports the Barov family. The family, and even the queen's father, expressed support for the Barov family. The general trend is unstoppable.
Moreover, it was speculated from various signs that something was wrong with Aiden's child, either a girl or unable to be fed, so there was not even the slightest news from the royal family. The Queen's family's defection made Alex even more convinced of his own judgment.
Everything made Alex feel that as long as he waited, he could get a crown for the Barov family.
But the information from Master Fang Brick made Alex feel a little uneasy.
The prophecy worth 3,000 gold coins and the two-year lifespan of square bricks foresaw a bloody bright future.
Alex was in awe of the power of magic, and it was Fang Bian's prophecy that made Alex choose to ignore the dishonorable actions of his eldest son Carlos under his nose.
Falling wild geese, ordinary deer, and the young master's instructions, put together, reminded Alex of a story Carlos told when he was chatting with his eldest son.
Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.
Although he knew that this story was made up by his son, Alex, who was familiar with historical documents, knew that neither humans nor trolls had the country or large tribe "Qin". But Alex was still satisfied with his son's views, so he let his son's rebel thoughts go unchecked. Anyway, he is the patriarch of the Barov family, and Carlos doesn't have the capital to make a huge difference.
So "The Ordinary Deer" became a short story that only the father and son knew.
After lunch, Grand Duke Alex decided to continue handling the kingdom's government affairs. Everything will be decided after Aiden presides over the court meeting tomorrow.
Being monitored by countless people, the patriarch of the Barov family actually doesn't have many methods to use.
In the past few years of political games, Alex has tried his best to gain a great advantage for Carlos. Now that things have happened, the Grand Duke doesn't have much room to play.
"Lucen, go make arrangements and tell the palace manager that I hope to have dinner with His Majesty the King." After giving instructions to the butler, Grand Duke Alex signaled to the officials waiting aside that they could come forward to continue discussing government affairs.
After leaving the tunnel to his secret hideout in the civilian area of Alterac City, Dandema followed Carlos to a dozen seemingly unrelated places.
Because at this point in time, night elves were still rare creatures in the Eastern Kingdom, so Dandema was dressed in a heavy gray cloth cloak. Carlos was also very strong, and with Carlos leading the way and chatting, everything went smoothly.
"You spent all your free time playing dice along the way. Is there any special significance?" Dandema asked.
"This is a twenty-sided die," Carlos answered.
"Then." Dandema still didn't understand the meaning of throwing the dice.
"These are five twenty-sided dice," Carlos continued.
"Forget it, I won't ask, as long as you are happy." Dandema kept her word. In the quiet alley, the only sounds left were the footsteps and the sound of Carlos playing dice.
"I'm trying to throw a hundred points." After Carlos finished speaking, he didn't get a response from Dandema, so he continued: "This is an achievement worth a hundred points!"
"Aren't you confident? Are you hoping for psychological comfort in this form?" Dandema didn't understand Carlos's thinking logic and couldn't help but speak again.
"There is no way back, I'm just increasing my chips."
Arriving at the destination, Carlos opened his palms, ninety-five points.
Putting away the dice and sighing secretly, Carlos knocked on the door of the last resident at the end of the alley.
"Who?" Before the door opened, a deep male voice came.
"kingcroundtiger." Carlos answered.
"pagodatonrivermonster." the other party responded.
"Skykingcroundtiger." Carlos responded to the code again.
The other party didn't respond for a long time. After a while, there was a sound of footsteps.
"Pricetoershockrivermonster." After the other party answered, the door finally opened.
"Your Majesty the Grand Knight Commander, Aslan Qian would like to ask for your services."
After the young knight welcomed Carlos into the door, he knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of Carlos' hand.
