Section 47: Means

Forty-seven methods

Ruk's face became significantly thinner. During this period, he could be said to be too busy to touch the ground, and even the small glasses that had been on the bridge of his nose seemed a little bigger. He still had a smile on the corner of his mouth and looked at his nephew.

Ryan looked worried.

"Uncle, what should we do?" Ryan asked in a low voice. "They are back. William and Daly are dead, but Ashu Rufate and Leo are still there... You said Leo has already..."

"Dear nephew, no trick can beat luck." Ruk also sighed, but his brow did not frown. "I seem to have told you that I almost killed Ashu Rufate at that time. It was a perfect strategy, but Ashu Rufate escaped alive. So it is not surprising that the trick I gave to Leo the poisonous wine was not effective. Leo is not a drunk person. He is likely to have given the wine to someone else, but accidentally injured a third party."

"But what do we do now? The two of them know about me hurting Thomas...if they make a complaint, then I..."

"It's indeed a trouble, but nephew, you don't need to take this matter too seriously. At least we have a few days left. They didn't directly ask to see His Royal Highness the Princess today, which means they plan to make accusations in the honor court after the fragmented matters are dealt with. If you find a way for Princess Irina to become your person in the past few days, then no matter how powerful they are, they will not cause any storm... How far has Princess Irina been progressing?"

"I don't know." Ryan answered honestly.

"Have you reached the level of a lover?" Luke asked narrowly.

"Uncle, don't be happy with me!" Ryan replied depressedly.

"Indeed, there are not enough chips. There are too many variables in your marriage with Irina." Ruke said seriously. "Originally, in my plan, you should have become the king or had a engagement with the princess. But in fact, you have not yet, so this troublesome situation has emerged."

"Is there any way?"

"If it is normal channels, a few days later, Leo and Exurfate filed charges in the court of honor, and a jury will be organized, and the Grand Judge Lyonis will undoubtedly become the decisive factor. But that person is a person who cannot be compatible and obeys the honor of the knights. Under his presidency, you will be sentenced to betrayal. At the time, you will be completely finished...at least you will be deprived of the title and property, and then exiled. No, you are not so lucky. With Thomas' special identity, everyone will vote to sentence you to death! So," Ruke emphasized his tone, "We must never let the trial begin!"

"Don't let the trial begin?" Ryan was deeply surprised by the idea. "How to do it?"

"It must be supported by Princess Irina, or at least her acquiesce!" Luke said firmly.

"Uncle, be more specific."

"Mobilize all our strength, all our relatives, friends, allies, all those connections, including yours, mine, and your father's. Don't be stingy with money. You must buy the support you can buy with money! If I estimate correctly, Grand Principal Lyonis will not come back in three days, so it will take about four or five days before Ashrufate and Leo file accusations. In any case, within these days, you must get enough support to become the 'temporary' general!"

"General? What does this have to do with the accusation..."

"Princess Irina will not endure that the general she just appointed (although temporary) suddenly became the target of accusation, because this is equivalent to declaring her blind and ignorant. So she will inevitably take a partial position! Then, we can take action!"

"But, only Irina has the power to appoint, what's the point of us getting the support of other sages?" Ryan still didn't understand.

"Ilina doesn't have a suitable candidate. Moreover, this 'temporary' general is just a transitional official position, and she won't care too much. She must listen to the ministers' opinions on this matter. This is our only chance." Luke's pale face showed a smile. "Believe me, nephew. I have almost fully mastered the ideas and behavior patterns of our little princess."

Three days passed soon. The sun shone brightly and the weather was warm. It was a good weather for riding a pegasus.

Irina controlled the Pegasus and slowly landed from the sky.

Over the past period of time, Irina has become more and more fond of riding a Pegasus. Not only because of the stimulating pleasure brought by speed, but also because of the physical and mental pleasure that is high and free and free when flying. She has begun to try some tricks with some tricks. It turns out that this is a very superb technique in equestrian, but it is a very simple thing for Pegasus. Because Pegasus is much smarter and loyal than ordinary horses. It understands how to cooperate with its owner.

There were no annoying meetings today, nor all kinds of troublesome common affairs. Count Rowling was a very good minister, who could make all the affairs of the entire palace clean and neat, without any effort. She also had a very good daughter.

Irina wiped her face slightly and came to the agreed pavilion. There, little Rowling was waiting for her.

She waved her hand to let her followers leave, and now only she and Little Rowling are left here. Little Rowling has a pair of sensitive ears and a tongue that likes to spread, which can always bring a lot of fresh and interesting good news to her, who is bored and boring. Thanks to people like Little Rowling, all kinds of rumors can spread so quickly and widely.

Rowling has never lacked topics, especially those girls like. Shortly after Irina sat down, the topic turned to "The Best Husband Alternative".

"...General Thomas was always the target that everyone admired, and I also knew that several girls swear to win his heart. Unfortunately, he died... So now the best husband candidate for girls in the city has been replaced. Now, there are three people competing for this position. The three people have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to distinguish between the two for a while."

"Three people?" Irina asked with interest. Of course, she could not be the same as those ordinary girls, but this does not mean that she is not interested in these topics.

"The first one is our Duke of Ryan. His strengths are that he is both rich and stubborn, and he is also good-looking. He was just appointed by you as the 'temporary' general yesterday. But his weaknesses are also obvious. Many nobles scoffed at him, believing that his behavior of seeking status is not honorable, so they refused to let their daughter marry him if they died."

"Ryan..." Irina thought of this name. Actually, Ryan is not bad. It turns out that the kind of person who is promoted by himself is more reliable. At least everything will not go against him, and will not insult him intentionally or unintentionally. When everything stabilizes, maybe a Casino Knight should be promoted to the position of general... Among the seven most important positions, four belong to Saint Gene and three belong to Casino... This is a basic policy that was determined a long time ago. Of course, this was decided by Lan Jill, and Irina didn't mind turning the position of four and three.

"The second one is the Rio Knight! He was originally a very likable person, and this time it is said that he would be even more crowned as a baron. His advantage is that he is a very good person who pleases girls, and his disadvantage is that he has become a baron and his status is not high enough." Little Rowling stared at Irina's face as he spoke. "Is this news reliable, Princess?"

"Well, there are many people who have made this proposal, and I don't intend to object." Irina replied casually. "But the specific situation needs to be waited, and a detailed combat report is needed. Who is the third one?"

"It's our Earl of Ashu Rufat." Little Rowling said excitedly.

"Ash Rufate?" When Ilina thought of Ash Rufate, she remembered the fact that her grandfather told her. In fact, Ash Rufate was not a knight, but a lowly mercenary or someone else. But she recklessly named him an earl at that time. No... it seemed that he had to be an earl at that time... but this matter always made her feel uneasy.

Although Ashu Rufate saved her life at that time, it was too much for an ordinary wandering mercenary to be directly named as an earl. However, at that time, Ashu Rufate did act like a knight and deceived her.

"Yes, everyone says that Ashu Rufat will be replaced with another fiefdom, and this time he made great contributions, so he has become a potential candidate. But of course he is a little worse than the previous two... But he is indeed a topic of everyone now, and I heard that he is not only a knight, but also a mage. A magician, tsk... it's very attractive. But if his fiefdom is not good, it won't... Irina, what's wrong with you?"

Irina immediately realized that she was distracted.

"It's okay, little Rowling, I just thought of Ashu Rufate." Irina replied.

"Do you also like the type full of mystery?" Little Rowling's eyes lit up. "It's really attractive and unforgettable! I also went to see him once. But he seems very poor... because his previous fiefdom was only nominal, would you change his fiefdom?"

"Well." Irina answered absent-mindedly. Of course, it didn't matter, but after knowing the truth, it made her feel a little trouble. The old man in black robe once said that punishment for others must be in place at one time, so as to cause the lowest hatred; reward for others must be in place many times, so that she can get the most gratitude. Ashu Rufate should have made a lot of contributions this time, and it is imperative to change his fiefdom. But the problem is that she does not have the fiefdom suitable for an earl in her heart... This issue can only be discussed at the court meeting.

Rowling little continued to talk.

"After that being said, it's really bad that General Thomas died unfortunately. What a charming knight he is, elegant and heroic... If he can be his bride, he must be the happiest woman in the world..."

"Little Rowling, if General Thomas is alive, he will be over 80 years old." Irina was a little surprised. Little Rowling actually had a crush on Thomas? But the gap between their ages is too big!

"The age gap is not a problem, love has nothing to do with age!" Little Rowling replied immediately. "It's a pity. And the worst thing is that he doesn't have any offspring yet... Irina, I heard you will host the funeral for him, right?"

"Yes." This was proposed at the meeting and was agreed upon by everyone. "I will go to his fiefdom and hold a grand funeral for him." While speaking, her eyes saw a maid who informed the urgent matters hurried over.

"What's the matter?" Irina asked.

"This morning, the Leo Knights accused Duke of Ryan from the Honor Court and the Grand Justice, and the charges were betrayal and murder." The maid bowed and reported.
