Well……
Sean looked at the other person's kind face. Behind that smile there was an invisible and inexplicable pressure.
What did he mean by telling me this now? Did he have to kneel down and yell "Lord" right away?
The Viger family was indeed promoted by Duke Haruman, and it was also written in the family tree that their family was originally the Duke's people... They were promoted because they saved the Duke Haruman at that time during the war to quell the rebellion.
Although many years have passed, the family tree still retains the respect of the first Baron Weigel for Duke Haruman.
As later generations gradually forgot about it, they no longer cared so much about the Duke's favor.
"The family tree once recorded that Weigel was a brave man, full of justice and fearless..." Duke Haruman continued to boast about 'his' ancestors.
If Sean was really born and raised in this world, perhaps these words could rekindle the passion in his heart.
pity,
I am a typical "outsider" so I don't have such a strong sense of family honor.
However, the other party's good impression gave Sean some other ideas...
The prince didn't take him seriously, and now he was alone in the north. He only had Frelia around him as a supporter, but she was also someone who rubbed shoulders with the high-ranking nobles. Why should he listen to Duke Haruman's opinions and see what he wanted to do?
The phrase "Expectation!" kept appearing above the opponent's head.
I guess he is expecting me to submit to him immediately.
"Yes, there are indeed many records in my family tree about Duke Haruman's help to us. I never expected to meet the Grand Duke today."
“Hahaha… Aren’t we experiencing a lot of unexpected things?!” Duke Haruman replied with a smile.
Sean estimated that based on the other party's experience, it would not be difficult for him to hear that he was just being perfunctory, but the other party didn't care at all and kept guiding him to join his team... starting from the family history, going deeper and deeper.
This gave Sean a certain understanding of the ambition of the high-ranking nobles.
This is indeed what an aristocrat standing at some top position looks like!
This temperament is indeed fundamentally different from those aristocratic children who are scheming, arrogant and domineering.
Whether it's him or Prince Philip...
They all have the feeling of not talking much but knowing everything, the spirit of a true politician.
After chatting for a while, Duke Haruman probably felt that it was enough. After all, he was old and didn't want to waste any more time even if he had ulterior motives... and with his status, there was really no need for him to be scheming in front of him. It would be more refreshing to be straightforward.
"Sean, I'm not happy with you either. Your family was originally a vassal of Haruman. Although many years have passed, I still hope you can inherit the wishes of our ancestors." He took a sip from the teacup with trembling hands and continued.
"In fact, after the rebellion war that happened a long time ago, Haruman made long-term plans for the south... Do you know why that war was launched?" He suddenly threw the question to Sean.
I've definitely never heard anyone mention this.
There weren't many history books at home, and Luke rarely talked about them...
Perhaps it’s because the real reason has never been revealed, just like the avalanche incident that happened to me.
If someone hadn't seen the snow giant appear, Sean would even want to conceal the matter of the snow giant to avoid causing panic among the townspeople.
But the news about Bachler never got out!
"I don't know about this." Sean said seriously.
"After all, such a thing is not glorious. The war to quell the rebellion was supposedly about wiping out the massive imperial rebels in the south, but the real reason was to fight against the imperial enemies..."
"Enemy of the Empire?"
It is not surprising for a country to have enemies, otherwise why would it establish an army?
"Yes, they were a rebel force that existed since the early days of the Empire. They were the survivors of the Redania region that was annihilated by the Empire. They had been entrenched in the empire's periphery for years, harassing the border residents. Only after that battle did they achieve hundreds of years of peace. Since then, the Haruman family has stationed retainers in various regions in the south to maintain the Empire's rule."
That is to say, let someone you trust take charge of a situation.
It really seemed like something a powerful person would do, saying that he had handed over the rights of Telemian to the trustworthy Luke!
From this perspective, the Duke Haruman's family is indeed remarkable. They were able to completely control the southern territory of the empire at such an early age and place their retainers in various places... This lasted for one or two hundred years.
but……
"Do you have any doubts?"
"Not yet," Sean said.
"It's okay. You can tell me whatever you want to say today. This is also part of our conversation."
Since he had the other party's permission, Sean no longer estimated.
"But if we do that, won't it give people the impression that you want to become king?"
If each region was governed by his own retainers, he would have practically occupied the entire south. And the empire was called the Bashalan Empire, not the Haruman Kingdom.
"This is also the reason why some retainers were not properly resettled. The reason Weigel was placed in a remote mountain village was because of obstruction from others at the time... Over the years, some retainers have lost contact, and the Weigel family has been completely isolated and has not received any news."
The opponent paused for a moment, then displayed a state of [Inspired!].
The old voice seemed vigorous and powerful...
