Section 123: The Earl of Brycegow's calculations
Several palace servants stood straight in the corner of the wall, but their mouths twitched from time to time, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh in front of the count. And in the narrow and long restaurant, a young man with disheveled head was buried in the bowl, and from time to time he tore a piece of bread beside the side and put it in the broth to eat.
"Ah~~." When the servant brought other food, the disheveled young man finally raised his head with satisfaction. He seemed to have not eaten anything for a long time.
"My dear nephew, why did you become like this?" Earl Brycegao sat in his master's seat, wearing a red noble dress and holding a silver wine glass in his hand, asking the disheveled young man.
"Uncle, please avenge me!" said the young man with disheveled face, and from his voice, it could be heard that the man was actually the escaped Katrisi.
"Katelisey, slowly tell me what happened?" Earl Brycegao comforted. If he hadn't happened to go out to hunt, the castle guards wouldn't have put Ketrisey in at all. Even so, Earl Brycegao almost recognized Ketrisey at the beginning.
"Damn Rudolph, he killed my mother." Ketrisy accused Count Brycego with tears in his eyes. Although he didn't know that it was Rudolph who designed it all, in the opinion of Trisy, all the mistakes were because of Rudolph. If he hadn't destroyed the Flagless Brotherhood early, these things would not have happened. What's even more annoying is that Rudolph actually called himself Regent and took away everything that should have belonged to him.
"If there is such a thing, Count Schwartz is already critically ill?" Earl Brycegao was silent after hearing Ketrisy's accusation. He did not expect that the old fox-like Count Schwartz would be knocked down by disease, but his sons had internal conflicts.
"Yes, my father is already ill and is held hostage by the abominable Rudolph. He actually forced his father to appoint himself as regent." Ketrisy muttered indignation.
"What a pity." Earl Brycegao pretended to be regretful and shook his head, putting down the silver wine glass in his hand. He had long been coveted by the land of Schwarz County, but Earl Schwarz was a veteran nobleman and could not tolerate him having any chance. Even his cousin, Mrs. Agnes, was just pretending to be a snake and could not get any advantage. However, when his eyes fell on Ketrisy, he was secretly happy.
"What's wrong?" Ketrisey was shocked. He knew that his only reliance was Earl Brycegao in front of him. As long as the Earl was willing to help him and lend him an army, he could return to Schwarz County to become the new Earl.
"This is your Habsburg family's affairs, how can I interfere?" Earl Brycegao said to Ketrisy in a very embarrassing tone.
"But Rudolph killed my mother, your cousin, Mrs. Agnes, how could you stand by and watch?" Katrisy quickly stood up, and he said to Earl Brycegao excitedly.
"Be quiet, Ketrisey, you are already an adult noble, even a noble with the inheritance of Schwarz County. How could you be so uncontrollable?" Earl Brycegao knocked the table with his fingers. He frowned slightly, and was a little impatient with the guy who was screaming at him.
"Everything~~." As the sound of the count hitting the table, heavy footsteps sounded from the outside of the restaurant, as if a bear was approaching them, which surprised and panicked Kaitrisy.
I saw a bald knight as strong as an iron tower, wearing leather armor, walked in. The flesh on his face and fierce blue eyes would make everyone who saw him understand that this was definitely a target that he could not be messed with.
"Gudu." Looking at the powerful knight walking in, Katrisi sat down angrily. He quickly looked at Earl Brycegao with a begging gaze.
"I, my dear uncle, I really have to rely on you, for God's sake." Ketrisy begged.
"Actually, it's not that I don't help you. My dear nephew, as an earl, I cannot attack other people's territory for no reason. I must have a reason. In this way, when His Majesty the King asks, I can defend my own mobilization of the army. This is about justice, do you understand?" Earl Brycegao smiled faintly. He knew that Ketrisy had become a thing in his hand. He only needed to remind him a little more, and this stupid nephew would understand.
"Then, what do you need?" Katrisey blinked, and he asked with some difficulty.
"You are the second son of Count Schwartz. Although you cannot be the first heir like the eldest son, you have the right to claim Schwartz County under the law of the eldest son inheritance of Schwartz County. You must publicly promise to grant me the right to claim the right to claim, so that I have reason to declare war on Schwartz County." Earl Brycegao leaned forward a little. His dream of Schwartz County seemed to be coming true, and the Lord sent this opportunity to him.
"Can you help me restore my inheritance?" Katrisey thought that if Count Brycegao helped him to conquer Schwartz County, he would definitely give his title to himself, after all, this would be legal.
"Of course, of course I would have such a nephew, why don't you think?" Earl Brycegao said seriously, as if he had been greatly insulted.
"So good, I am willing to grant you the claim right in public." Katrisy agreed without hesitation. As long as he could kill Rudolph and help him get back to Schwarz County, what is the mere claim right?
"So well, my dear nephew, I think you should be tired too. Go take a shower and rest!" Earl Brycegao laughed, he clapped his hands, and several servants rushed forward.
When the servants served Ketrisy leaving, Earl Brycegao sat at the dining table, shaking the wine in the silver wine glass. At this time, a short brown-haired palace noble came forward and picked up the wine pot to fill the Count and himself. He had just heard what was happening inside outside.
"Sir Earl, do you really want to help this fool defeat Schwarz County?" the palace nobles asked curiously.
"Of course, only then can I have a reason to attack Schwarz County." Earl Brycegao put his legs on the wooden table, and he leaned back comfortably and replied naturally.
"What should I do after I fight?" the palace noble asked with a frown.
"What do you think!" Earl Brycegao smiled, his lips full of sarcasm.
"I understand, poor idiot." The palace nobles laughed, and he picked up his glass and took a sip. The Earl would never give Schwarz County to others.
