"I have to say, it's a perfect time for you to wake up, Lord Loren Turin."

On the third day of recovery, in the dark haired wizard's ward, little Yoder with a meaningful smile was sitting in front of his bed with his legs crossed, his hands crossed with his fingers, and the arc of his mouth was just right, just like his close fitting robe, which was not too fancy, but enough for others to detect his identity.

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, I woke up a month after the accident, and before the upcoming round table." a pair of eyes stared more and more at the black haired wizard's every move, and little yode's smile was sweeter:

"A month, a whole month! I was unconscious and threw all the big and small things to me, a humble servant. I ran forward and back in fear to solve all your troubles. By the way, I also helped the wizard Association and the reckless little girl count take care of the aftercare - what a standard noble master style!"

"Er..."

With an awkward smile, Lauren looked at the next second to burst out. Little Joad, gnashing his teeth, shrugged his shoulders very "sincerely": "sorry."

"Sorry?"

"Well... I'm terribly sorry?"

"I really thank you!" little Joad stood up and looked as if he would draw his sword directly if it weren't for the black haired wizard lying in bed - although even if he pulled his sword, he didn't think he had much chance of winning in front of the Madman:

"This is not the first time. It's not the first time you've done this! Do you know how much effort I have devoted to maintaining the reputation of the United Chamber of Commerce in red blood castle and the whole north of Bain?!"

"Of course." the bloodless Loren tried to make himself smile as friendly as possible: "it is because of absolute trust that I can safely risk a coma and leave all the rest to you - didn't you say last time that I didn't trust you enough?"

"Trust?" little Joad stared at the shameless guy with a sarcastic expression: "so I misunderstood you. You didn't give him (her) the evidence and handle about me in the hands of wizard Ayn Rand?"

"Lucian is not watching me at your command. If he doesn't agree, he will put the knife around my neck?"

"Isn't this what you want me to do?" Lauren looked at him innocently. "You said that if you were me, you would never easily believe a person's promises and vows... Necessary precautions are still needed, right?"

"Yes, I remember someone saying 'so, you're not Loren Turin' and a bunch of self righteous big words." little Yoder snorted coldly: "the words of true feelings... I'm almost crying."

Take a deep breath and little Joad tries to restore himself to a normal state of reason; It seems that as long as you are in front of the dark haired wizard, you are easy to lose control of your emotions and even do some irrational things.

As a businessman and the best businessman, losing control of his emotions is intolerable... If it weren't for the reserved sense of responsibility and the death threat of a gray eyed (Lucian), he would have wanted to quit!

"Forget it, let's get down to business... By the way, I'll report to you what happened during your coma."

Helpless to sit down again, little Joad still had a sarcastic expression on his face: "two things. First, our dear highness Brandon failed. The sky palace didn't send him, but compromised and chose Duke Yuli veltz of ellemans as the imperial envoy."

"As expected."

The black haired wizard said, took a sip of the hot milk on the head cabinet, and there was a "love note" left by the little wizard next to the saucer - no drinking during illness.

"This kind of thing that will reverse the strength comparison between the two princes will not be easily agreed by the cabinet or Eckhardt II himself. It is the best result to let Archduke elmond come... Well, although Brandon may still jump now?"

Little Joad didn't agree with Lauren's answer, and sneered with disdain: "all the opportunities to deliver to the door have been lost. I don't understand why you are loyal to such a useless Prince... How about taking advantage of this opportunity to rebel and take refuge in Connor?"

"Are you serious?"

"Nonsense, of course it's false!" little Joad rolled his eyes. "It's all here. Can connord really let us live because you change the court?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Lauren said calmly: "although it is not the result we expect, it may be the best one."

Little Joad bowed his head and nodded in recognition of the dark haired wizard's statement.

Among the leaders of several principalities of the Empire, eboden is absolutely impossible. Arles is remote and has cold relations with the royal family. Boye is an ally of Byrne. Naturally, it is impossible to obey the instructions of the heavenly palace... The only remaining principalities are lottel and Elman.

Between the two great princes, Duke Fred of lottel is old and prestigious, has deep contacts and strong strength; The most important thing is that lottel does not border with Byrne, so if he comes, I'm afraid he will be more inclined to the orders of the heavenly palace and personal likes and dislikes, and don't care about the ideas of Byrne people.

The Archduke of El Mans, Yuli vilz, is very young and has not deep prestige. At the same time, he is adjacent to the two regions of Saxony and Bain. The vilz family has always been loyal to the Empire. The most important thing is that Yuli vilz himself has a good relationship with both sides.

In comparison, naturally, Archduke ellemans is the best candidate... This also proves that the sky palace is very clear at present. Because of Gaspar and the heretical church, the governor system has been completely bankrupt, and restoring people's hearts and trust in the empire is the first thing.

"What about the other one? You said there were two things?"

"Another... It's not easy to point out at the moment, but it's just the stage of doubt." little Yod's eyes twinkled with a strange luster: "some very subtle intelligence came from the United Chamber of Commerce Branch in the north, which is about the round table."

"Round table?"

"Yes, I believe you should already know that our little girl count was careless and held a round table without even thinking about it, hoping to use all Bain's strength to put pressure on the Empire."

Shaking his head, little Joad smiled meaningfully: "she succeeded... In a sense."

"Get to the point." the black haired wizard interrupted him with a wave and asked the other party to finish the nonsense quickly.

"She overestimated her ability to control Byrne, or underestimated the ambition of the Earl of Byrne," said Xiao Yue's smile: "the eyes of those who came back from the division told me that some Byrne aristocrats seemed to be joining in private, ready to take advantage of the" good time "of the round table Council to separate themselves from the Empire.

Loren was stunned: "independence?!"

"Yes, rebuild Byrne in the Old Kingdom, restore the round table parliament system, and elect a new Knight king instead of just a Duke of Byrne." little Yod's tone was still frivolous, as if joking:

"Although there is no evidence, at least four earls have withdrawn a large amount of cash from the loan office of our chamber of Commerce, and the yode chamber of commerce should be the same, if my dear father is willing to tell you the truth without being bribed by some earl."

"As for what the money was used for... It should be self-evident, right?"

The black haired wizard nodded, "can you confirm which people it is?"

"It's impossible... Such things happen to small people, or transfer money through the small chamber of Commerce controlled by them; it's a shame to deal with businessmen in person. I can only know about it from the amount on the account."

Little Joad said calmly, "so I advise you to make plans early. This round table will never be as aboveboard as in knight novels. The thirteen Knight lords are all difficult people, and the Lord Yuli weltz..."

"Yuli vilz..." Lauren whispered and understood: "of course, if I were the knight Lord who wanted to make Byrne independent and even become the knight king, what would I do before the meeting..."

Of course, find someone to assassinate the Duke and make Byrne break away from the Empire!
