But Luther was calculating in his heart.
The current situation in Viscount Silver Wing's territory is somewhat different from Luther's plan, because in Luther's plan, the ruthless thugs will kill Viscount Silver Wing and thus exterminate the Viscount's bloodline.
Make the entire Silver Wing Territory even more chaotic.
But now Viscount Silver Wing's son is still alive, so this heir will legally inherit the title of Viscount.
This would cause some trouble for Luther in his bid for the position of Governor of the Viscount Silver Wing.
"I didn't expect that Viscount Silver Wing was usually confused, but he was not confused at the critical moment. He preserved his bloodline and saved the seeds for the family's revival."
Luther had a bit of a toothache about this.
But luck comes fast.
After the nobles made their decision, Bi Xing and Alton arranged for the nobles to live in the castle, but the nobles declined because they disliked the castle which had just experienced a war.
So, fortunately, Alton arranged for the great nobles to live in villas in the villa area.
Because the Pompey family was nominally still a vassal of the Patton family, they were arranged to live in the villa where Baron Philip lived.
The villa was not big and there were not many rooms. The rooms and the rotating guards were quickly allocated.
Baron Philip, Natsu Wilson and Old Thor went upstairs to talk. Mainly because Knight Commander Natsu Wilson was not present today, Baron Philip and Old Thor talked to him about the situation.
Luther was bored, so he found a bottle of wine and sat in the restaurant to drink it.
Didn’t someone say that Lafite is grape juice?
It can still be drunk as a beverage.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the villa. Luther came to the door and saw two knights walking in with three people.
One was a handsome gentleman in a white shirt and black trousers.
One is a beautiful lady.
A young boy.
With Luther's hearing ability, he learned the identities of the three people from their conversations with the guard knights.
The handsome gentleman was an official wizard worshipped by the Viscount Silver Wing family. Most noble families had such wizards, so Luther was not surprised.
But the beautiful lady was the Viscountess, and the boy was the only son of Viscount Silver Wing, Doug Smith.
This surprised Luther.
Now it was he who caused the Viscount's territory to fall into great chaos, leading to the Viscount's death.
And now at this critical juncture, the next generation of Viscount Silver Wing actually came to visit him.
Luther arranged for the three of them to sit down in the villa hall and asked politely, "What do you three want to do?"
"I want to tell you that my son Doug Smith is not the bloodline of Viscount Silver Wing." The beautiful Viscountess was a little ashamed, but still said these shocking words.
Luther was really shocked.
Silver Wing Family.
Silver Wing is the title and Smith is the surname.
But now, the only son of Viscount Silver Wing, who has the surname Smith, is not of Viscount Silver Wing's bloodline.
This is something that is unlikely to happen, because in order to ensure their bloodline, the great nobles will ask wizards to perform magic to determine the bloodline after the child is born.
Since this child has grown up without being secretly executed, he must be the only son recognized by Viscount Silver Wing.
I see.
Luther looked at the wizard standing beside him, and understood everything in his heart.
If the wizard responsible for bloodline identification is bribed, he may even be the father of the child.
"This world is so damn dangerous. Traps are everywhere." Luther sat back in his seat, feeling very sad.
But before he died, he did a smart thing and hid his wife and only son.
But in the end, the bloodline that Viscount Silver Wing was protecting did not exist at all.
This Viscount had been a romantic and even vulgar man throughout his life. He slept with countless women and may have had many illegitimate children, but his legal heir was actually a bastard.
Viscount Silver Wing was already dead, but the lady in front of him took out a whip covered with thorns and whipped the dead Viscount Silver Wing until he bled.
"As long as you don't tell me about this, no one will know. In a few days, your son will ascend the throne of Viscount Silver Wing and own a territory and become a great noble. Why do you want to tell me this?"
Luther shrugged, but he actually already knew the answer.
The woman in front of me is really smart.
"Since you took the Viscount's life and created a blood feud with the Silver Wing Family, you will not let the Viscount's bloodline go easily. And if Doug becomes the new Viscount, he will become the target of the New Party's elimination. In the current strange situation, those powerful nobles cannot protect themselves, let alone Doug."
The Viscountess reached out and held Doug Smith's hand. The young man looked at a loss and uneasy.
You can tell this from his expression, he just found out about it today.
Poor child.
"This news is very useful to me. Since you came to tell me, you must want to get something from me. As long as it's not too excessive, I can agree to it."
Luther, who was always very generous about such things, said.
"I ask you to escort us safely out of Orange and into the heart of the kingdom. You know that if the viscount's vassals knew this news, they would be furious."
The Viscountess said.
"I promise you." Luther nodded, but quickly added, "But before I send you away, I have to prove this in front of everyone."
"Okay." The Viscountess agreed.
Afterwards, Luther informed Old Thor, Baron Philip, and Natsu Wilson of the matter, and sent knights out to invite four great nobles over.
This time, along with the nobles came one or two wizards. Luther also asked the nobles to bring the wizards with them.
In addition, Luther also informed Bixing and Alton, asking him to bring other important officials of the Silver Wing Family, wizard apprentices he could trust, and some of the Baron's body tissue.
Luther wants to invite wizards from all sides to hold a bloodline identification meeting in public.
Confirmed, Viscount Silver Wing left no bloodline.
If that's the case, it will be fun.
Because the Viscount is an only child, and the Viscount's father is also an only child.
As a result, the main bloodline of Viscount Silver Wing has been cut off.
According to the rules of the nobility, the children and grandchildren of the eldest brother of the grandfather of this generation of Viscount Silver Wing can inherit the title of Viscount Silver Wing.
But this is not an iron rule like the primogeniture system, and it can be argued about.
Because he is the grandfather of this generation of Viscount Silver Wing, his other brothers and grandchildren can also have the right of inheritance.
All in all, a large number of people had inheritance rights.
As for who will get the title, it depends on who has the biggest fist.
Luther's goal was to abolish the Viscount Silver Wing's title by severing his bloodline.
Not through the king, but through the parliament of the great nobles headed by the Libyan Count, the title was abolished and he became the governor.
This was originally Luther's plan, but something went wrong before, and now it is back on track.
A pleasant surprise.
