Chapter 616: Treasure
"Legend of the Farraro Bourbon royal family?"
Sitting in a private room in the bar, Dorothy couldn't help showing a hint of surprise after listening to Adele's words. She had guessed that Adele was a Farano, but she didn't expect that she had a further identity based on being a Farano.
Suddenly, Dorothy began to recall memories of the Faroese Bourbon dynasty.
In the secular history that Dorothy knew, the Bourbon Dynasty, also known as the Banquet Dynasty, was the last dynasty in Farajo's history, representing the peak and end of the Farajo monarchy. It was established more than 600 years ago and its rule lasted until the Frost Moon Revolution more than 100 years ago, when it was overthrown by countless resistance forces from all over the country. It was also one of the few dynasties in the many major countries in the Main Continent whose royal family was completely overthrown. Today, Farajo is also one of the few countries in the Main Continent that does not have a monarchy and a royal family in power.
"As far as I know, during the Frost Moon Revolution more than a hundred years ago, almost all members of the Bourbon royal family were found guilty. Countless royal family members from King Robert down were executed, and the remaining ones fled overseas. All royal wealth was confiscated by the post-revolutionary government. There is no royal inheritance waiting to be inherited. Even the current Farajo government would not recognize it."
With a serious look, Dorothy looked at Adele in front of her and said, and the other party also put down the glass after taking a sip of the wine and spoke slowly.
"That's the truth. At the end of the Bourbon dynasty, the Bourbon royal family, led by the greedy king, recklessly levied heavy taxes and madly squeezed the wealth of the entire country, offending almost everyone. After he was executed after the revolution, the entire Bourbon dynasty was charged with crimes. No matter how close or distant they were to the royal family, their property was looted. That king caused huge damage to the country. Theoretically, the Bourbon dynasty could not have an inheritance. Even if there was, it would not have fallen on the heads of the remnants of sinners like us to inherit. The Farajo government would have swallowed it up long ago."
Adele waved her hand and said, and after listening to her words, Dorothy replied in a deep voice.
"So... the letter you received was most likely a prank?"
"To be honest, it doesn't seem like a simple prank. In the eyes of the general public, few people know my identity as a Farajo person, let alone the descendants of Bourbon. Since the Frost Moon Revolution, my ancestors have begun to hide their identities and draw a clear line between themselves and all forces in Farajo. From then on, they have completely stopped interacting with each other. There should be very few people in this world who know that I have any connection with Bourbon.
"Also, along with those letters, there were some small items that looked like jewelry. I took them for special appraisal and found that they were basically popular items in the Farajo court more than a hundred years ago. These things are not cheap. If it was just a prank, then the cost would be quite high."
Adele looked at Dorothy and answered. After hearing what Adele said, Dorothy frowned slightly and then continued speaking.
"Can you show me the letters?"
"No problem." Adele opened her lady's bag and took out three unsealed envelopes and placed them on the table.
"I have checked these letters from many sources and confirmed that there are no traces of anything extraordinary attached to them. Similarly, the contents inside do not contain any virus, so they are completely safe to view."
Listening to Adele's words, Dorothy picked up the envelope on the table. After checking it, she took out the letter inside, unfolded it in front of her, looked at it carefully, and read the contents carefully.
Judging from the handwriting, all three letters were written by the same person, who wrote in beautiful Farah. The whole letter was sincere and well-worded, and adopted a flattering attitude towards Adele.
The sender called himself "Mr. F" and claimed that his ancestor was a court servant serving the Bourbon royal family. He was loyal to the Bourbon royal family and had long been dissatisfied with the overthrow of the royal family by the so-called "mob", so he had always wanted to do something for the injured Bourbon royal family.
Mr. F said that for a hundred years their family had been secretly collecting intelligence from all sides, looking for the existence of the anonymous descendants of the Bourbon royal family and secretly providing them with help. In the recent period of time, they found the clue to a secret treasure left by the last king of Bourbon, the greedy king Robert.
According to their estimation, this treasure is very rich, and they want to elect the most qualified and pure bloodlines among the remaining remnants of the Bourbon royal family to jointly search for this treasure and share the inheritance after finding the right person.
"In summary, we are very sure that the wealth collected by King Robert was not all found by the mob. There are still some fish that have escaped and are still sleeping in the underground of Flotz, waiting for the return of Robert's descendants, the true master of Farano. We are also looking forward to it with them..."
Looking at the last few words on the letter, Dorothy couldn't help being silent for a while. After a while, she looked at Adele and asked.
"Do you think it is likely that there will still be loyal supporters after the fall of the Bourbon dynasty?"
"It is still possible. After all, Bourbon ruled Farano for hundreds of years and had a profound influence in the country. After the fall of Bourbon, the royalists who attempted to restore the dynasty were once an important political force in Farano's political arena. They were even able to compete for the position of Grand Archon and initiated several important events, causing Farano's political situation to be turbulent for a period of time.
"Although the power of the Farano royalists is now weak due to several crackdowns and they have almost completely withdrawn from Farano's political arena, it does not mean that they have completely disappeared. It is possible that there are still remnants of the royalists active today." Adele continued to talk to Dorothy. Because of her life experience, she has always paid close attention to all kinds of information about Farano, and she knows much more about Farano's situation than Dorothy.
After listening to Adele's words, Dorothy also began to recall some of Farano's current political systems. The current Farano system is called the Grand Archon System. The main power of the country is concentrated in the hands of a main archon, who is elected by the parliament. There is a chief archon and four assistant archons. The chief archon is the head of state of Farano, and the four assistant archons are in charge of various important functions of the country. If the former Farano royalist party has the ability to be an archon, then it is indeed sufficient to show its influence.
"How much do you know about the Bourbon Dynasty? Especially its secret history?" Dorothy continued to ask Adele. Listening to Dorothy's words, Adele took a sip of red wine and answered.
