"But speaking of it, among the eight noble families, the other seven noble families combined are not as strong as that family."

Xingge asked the maid to pour a glass of red wine, then went to the window, looked into the distance, and took a sip of the red wine with a smile.

"If things go well, I will become that person's ally." Luther shrugged with a smile.

Because of his own strength and level, Luther is able to provoke almost all of the eight nobles, but there is only one noble who Luther cannot deal with.

That's the person Xingge mentioned.

One of the eight nobles, the Grand Duke of the North.

The whole of Prussia is now divided between the ruler and his subjects, and the situation is superficially harmonious but inwardly alienated. This is because a major event happened in history.

This major event happened more than two hundred years ago, a war between the previous King of Prussia and the previous Grand Duke of the North. In this war, the previous Grand Duke of the North narrowly won, and the previous King of Prussia was defeated.

The vassal won over the king, which caused the king's prestige to plummet.

At this point, the Kingdom of Prussia had become such a situation.

This Northern Grand Duke owns five provinces in the north. He is the protector of the kingdom's nobles and the most threatening noble.

In addition, the Marquis of Cambridge in the west owns a fiefdom in one province, and he can control the great nobles in another province. This means that the Marquis can control the military forces of two provinces.

The Marquis of Cambridge and the Grand Duke of the North joined forces to confront the King.

This is the most important reason why the province of Orange and the Libyan Earl's family can remain independent despite their weak strength.

The Duke of the North, protector of all earthly nobles.

If the king dares to touch the Earl of Libya, the Grand Duke of the North will join forces with the Marquis of Cambridge and send troops to threaten the king.

And if Luther obtained the title and became one of the only three great nobles in Orange, he would also become an ally of the Grand Duke of the North and an opponent of the King.

Of course, that is a matter for the future. The current king and the great nobles on the ground are united in front because of the rise of the new party.

If they do not unite to deal with the New Party, the kingdom will be destroyed and all the nobles will be affected.

Luther had a big game in front of him, but before that, he wanted to take this opportunity to get a title.

At least get yourself a viscount.

Allies and enemies.

One's identity and stance can change in the blink of an eye; politics is a very complicated thing.

Old Sol could understand what was said nearby, but he just kept silent and ate his cake.

Anyway, my son has grown up and is very shrewd, just like me back then. Old Sol thought as he picked up the juice and drank it.

"Gulp, gulp." Aliena had finished drinking the juice, and then said happily to the maid next to her: "Another glass."

"Oh, and another serving of cake, too. Oh, and I want strawberry flavor." Aliena looked at the empty cake plate again and added.

He swung his feet, looking happy.

"Yes." The maid wanted to laugh but held it back. She responded and went downstairs to get more food.

Luther looked at these two foodies, his mouth twitched, and he said, "They have completely disgraced our family."

"It's almost noon, let's have a meal first." Xingge also smiled, then ordered the servant to prepare a big meal.

Everyone in the group was a big eater, so this lunch was both very large and time-consuming.

When everyone was full and picking up toothpicks to pick their teeth and napkins to wipe their mouths, the news came back.

"The young master is a member of the Shillington family, named Lucy, Shillington, a high-ranking knight. He doesn't have much combat power, but he is good at using the reputation of the Shillington family to do some shady things. He made a lot of money."

The butler whispered.

"I knew that the person who did this was just a small pawn. Shillington is one of the eight nobles after all. Their leaders would not bother to do these shady businesses, especially such a small business."

Luther said.

The mastermind has been found.

But the Shillington family is not an unrelated family. If it were not for the prominent name of Shillington, how could this guy named Lucy Shillington dare to do such business?

Today, I will not only kill Luxi Shillington, but also follow the clues to get to the bottom of the Shillington family.

"Let's go and kill him. Let's vent our anger for Xiao Baicai." Luther suddenly stood up from his chair, then remembered that he hadn't wiped his mouth yet. He picked up the napkin and wiped it, then walked out.

"Do you know where he is?" Xingge shrugged.

"Uh." Luther turned back a little embarrassedly and looked at the butler angrily.

"Arnold Avenue, No. 77," said the butler.

"Let's go." Xingge stood up and walked out first. Luther, Old Saul, and Alena also walked out.

The Eagle King stood on Luther's shoulder, while Alena jumped and peeped, staring at the glittering golden decorations in the mansion.

Not only was she full, she also wanted to steal something.

"The master has such a good relationship with Xingge. Even if I am caught stealing, I won't be beaten to death, right?" Aliena was eager to try.

………… .Arnold Avenue.

The houses on both sides of this avenue are all independent villas. However, this street belongs to the remote area of ​​the capital, so the people who live here are rich and have a certain status in society, but they are not wealthy.

Villa No. 77.

This villa is first-rate among the nearby villas. It covers an area of ​​about one and a half acres and has a white villa with twenty-three rooms.

There is a small lawn in front of the villa.

There are two knights guarding the gate, which looks quite impressive.

The owner of this villa is Lucy Shillington.

This distant descendant of the Shillington family was 52 years old and a senior knight. In a large family like Shillington, someone who was only a senior knight in his 50s was certainly a mediocre person.

In fact, Lucy Shillington suffered a lot when he was young because of his mediocre talent. Until Lucy Shillington found that the reputation of the Shillington family was very useful, he did a lot of things and made a lot of money.

Eventually, he bought the mansion at No. 77 on this avenue, married a young and beautiful wife, and had three children.

And Lucy Shillington gradually became the overlord of the dark forces in the royal capital, specializing in doing some shameful things.

For example, the slave trade.
