Chapter 193 Private solicitation
The stars are like countless pearls dotted in the deep night sky, and the moonlight shines on the town of Nasir under the night sky, casting a faint silver light and shadow.
The town of Nasir at night seemed to become a part of a dream, and the residents fell asleep in a peaceful dream and fell into a deeper dream.
A completely black carriage slowly approached, and the family emblem was deliberately hidden completely with black cloth by the people in the carriage.
It soon slowly stopped in front of the Fisher family's manor.
After the serious-looking coachman opened the door, Ariel Romen stepped out of the carriage gracefully and calmly. Under her black robe was a very beautiful face, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a tall and slender figure.
She is one of the monarch-level powerful men in the Roman family, a master of spells who is proficient in transformation spells, and the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Black Iron. She is half vampire and half human.
Ariel Romen had just gotten off the carriage when she saw Byrne calmly approaching from a distance. He bowed his head slightly and said respectfully:
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Ariel, I can't greet you with a smile because my loved one just passed away and a strong sense of sadness has enveloped my heart."
Ariel Romen was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly:
"Someone from the Fisher family died? Was it Chris Fisher, or Irene Fisher? Or any other member of the Fisher family?"
Ariel obviously didn't know about Irene's death, but the news had spread all over the East Coast.
One thing Byrne realized was that it was obvious that she had rushed to the East Coast from another province very quickly, with little rest along the way.
"It was Irene Fisher, my cousin. She died while resisting the attack of the Rhea people. A few days ago, the Meyer family of Rhea sent people to Nasir Town and suddenly attacked. They almost brought a huge disaster to the town. Fortunately, Irene's sacrifice saved the town and the Fisher family."
"The Meyer family, those people who play with fire?"
Ariel was silent for a moment, nodded calmly and said, "I am saddened by the death of Ms. Irene Fisher. Please allow me to express my deepest condolences to her."
It was obvious that she didn't have much feeling about Irene's death, and it was even more impossible for her to be truly sad. She just expressed her condolences out of politeness.
Byrne could understand it too, after all, they were complete strangers to each other.
The two of them quickly entered the manor house. After arriving at the reception room, Byrne did not say too much politely, but asked directly and respectfully:
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Ariel, why did you come to Nasir Town?"
Ariel smiled and said calmly, "Well, let me be frank. The Roman family hopes to have a closer relationship with the Fisher family. We will help the Fisher family stabilize its position on the East Coast."
"But you must also help the Roman family do a few things."
It seemed that the Fisher family had finally entered the sight of the Duke of Black Iron. Byrne was a little surprised, but then he immediately calmed down. At the same time, he knew that with help came more responsibilities.
"The Fisher family is naturally willing to pledge allegiance to the Roman family, an important pillar supporting the Siat Kingdom, just like the Rhine family! We are the knights of the Black Iron Duke!"
He said this without hesitation, and then asked tentatively:
"I just don't know what you or Duke Roman think, Lord Ariel Roman. And does Viscount Best know what the Fisher family is going to do?"
Ariel raised her swan-like neck slightly and said calmly:
"You don't need to communicate with Viscount Bester. Remember, the Fisher family doesn't need to tell anyone else about those things. To be more precise, you only need to be responsible to me. You don't even need to tell other members of the Roman family."
Huh?
Byrne keenly sensed that something was wrong. What did Ariel, the "Man of the Stars", mean?
Why did the Fisher family and the Roman family need to cooperate with each other without the knowledge of their allies? Even without the knowledge of other members of the Roman family, they only had to be responsible to Ariel herself?
He always felt that there was some big problem inside, but he couldn't put it into words for the time being.
Ariel continued, her tone cold and arrogant: "The Roman family needs you to do a few things. The first thing is..."
Byrne immediately said loudly:
"Sir Ariel! Please let me ask you one thing. Does the Fisher family want to be loyal to the Roman family like the Rhine family, or only to the Duke of Black Iron, or to you alone?"
Ariel narrowed her eyes, nodded, and replied, "You noticed something was wrong pretty quickly. That's good. If you weren't sharp enough, I would have felt really bad."
Byrne was silent, and she continued.
"The truth is, my father, the Black Iron Duke of the Roman family, has reached the limit of his lifespan and will leave this world in a few years."
"What?"
There was a sudden buzz in Byrne's mind. Everyone knew that the Duke of Black Iron was the most important towering tree in the Roman family and also the behind-the-scenes supporter of the Lion family.
He subconsciously calculated that the Duke of Black Iron was indeed hundreds of years old. He was a legendary figure who had made a name for himself in the central continent of Oden before the founding of Siat.
Unfortunately, that legend was ultimately no match for the end of his life.
If the Duke of Black Iron really died, the status of the entire Roman family in the Kingdom of Syat would plummet.
They were about to fall from being the top family second only to the Syat royal family, Yadli, to being the last among the major families.
By then, it will definitely have a great impact on the many families under the Roman family in various provinces.
It is impossible for the Fisher family not to be affected. They have already chosen their side. It is impossible for them to take advantage of others and not get beaten.
Byrne was silent for a while, took a breath, looked at Lord Ariel calmly and asked, "So Lord Ariel, what is the Roman family's response strategy?"
Ariel did not respond directly to the coping strategy, but suddenly mentioned something else.
"You know, Byrne, in fact, in addition to my father, the Duke of Black Iron, there are two other powerful monarchs in the Roman family. One of them is me, and the other is the 'Dragon Tamer' Aldrich Roman."
"We are both powerful men below the monarch, and our strengths are almost the same. Unless we fight desperately, we can't tell who is better or worse. So we can't be sure who will definitely inherit the dukedom of the Roman family."
Oh no! When Byrne heard this, he realized that the visitor was not well-intentioned.
He regretted meeting Ariel a little, but he also knew that it would be difficult for him to refuse her.
Ariel stared at Byrne and slowly stated the most important purpose.
"Aldrich Roman has a very good relationship with the Rhine family, especially with Viscount Best, so I hope to increase my bargaining chips so that I can be supported to become the next Duke of the Roman family after my father passes away."
Byrne fell into deep silence and hesitated for a long time.
So that's how it is. No wonder Ariel wants to win over the Fisher family, because according to the current situation, once the Duke of Dark Iron dies, the entire East Coast will follow Viscount Best to support the "Lord of Dragon Taming" Aldrich Romen.
Ariel really hopes that she can become the next Duke!
"Byrne Fischer, you are hesitating to speak. Are you waiting for me to make an offer? Well, I will explain it to you first."
Ariel also understood that it would be impossible to get people to bow down to her without giving anything, especially since the Fisher family already had a certain status.
"I will give you a forbidden item with a four-digit number, and at the same time give you two copies of the inheritance that can reach the monarch level. I will also provide you with a barrier that is more powerful than the barrier that Nasir Town currently has..."
She paused, then continued:
"Once I officially become the Duke, I will fully support Chris Fisher in breaking through to the monarch level, and I can make a vow with you right away. How about that?"
Byrne never responded to the other party's conditions, but fell into deep thought.
The benefits are huge, but if I agree to Ariel, would it be considered a betrayal of Viscount Best?
He hated the behavior of traitors, but the Rhine family had a great deal of gratitude towards himself and the Fischer family that could not be ignored.
Since Viscount Bester is likely to support the "Dragon Tamer" Aldrich Romen, if he makes a decision to support Ariel here, it may eventually lead to a split between the two families.
There may even be mutual assassinations in the future...
The old man's kindness cannot be repaid in this way.
He took a deep breath, but still shook his head firmly, his eyes heavy.
"Please allow me to answer. No, Lord Ariel, I have a very good relationship with Viscount Best, so I cannot betray him. However, the Fisher family can be loyal to the Roman family and the Duke of the Roman family..."
Byrne knew very well that his answer would never satisfy Ariel, so he calmly waited for the result.
“Okay, okay!”
"So, you just want to offend me?"
There was uncontrollable anger hidden in Ariel's tone, and the aura of a powerful monarch suddenly burst out and was completely concentrated on the man in front of him. Almost instantly, Byrne's face turned pale and even his body could hardly move.
"Please stop. I have already informed many people of your arrival..."
She won't kill herself!
Byrne's body was completely unable to move, but his eyes were firm, and he believed that he was not in any danger at all!
The Duke of Black Iron has not passed away yet, and Ariel cannot have the final say over the Roman family. The Fisher family is a viscount family with great potential. If he is killed for no reason, then the stubborn Chris will definitely break with the Roman family directly!
By then, the Duke of Dark Iron and other members of the Roman family will definitely blame Ariel, and her chances of inheriting the Dukedom will be even lower!
As expected, Ariel was very angry, but in the end she didn't do anything extreme.
She just snorted coldly, then took out a black envelope and threw it directly on the ground. She stopped staring at Byrne and turned away.
"The Duke of Dark Iron has something for you to do, Byrne. This is not my order. Go and do it according to the order in the letter!"
Byrne waited until she left, picked up the black envelope, and let out a long sigh.
"As long as Chris cannot reach the fifth step, the Fisher family will still have to look at the faces of those big shots."
