Among them, the Grand Duke of Ferensburg is the younger brother of His Majesty the King. Perhaps in order to emphasize his independence, Ferens changed his original surname Oduin to the current Gregor. It is said that the new surname originated from Gregor, an important area in the Duchy of Ferensburg.
Although the two duchies of Gistana and Vera were granted to members of other families, the wives of the two dukes were from the House of Alduin and were the aunts of His Majesty Bruno of the kingdom.
In fact, the three principalities are all our own.
But now, Ferensburg and Vera are marrying each other, the daughter of Duke Gistana is marrying Jesus, and his granddaughter is now marrying the Earl's family of Screaming Island...
Although it is a bit complicated to explain, to put it simply, there is a new generation of marriage relationship between these three duchies and Count Screaming Sea, which excludes King Bruno.
If this situation happened in ancient China, Bruno, as the emperor, would definitely be very wary of the following forces and would even have taken steps to weaken their strength.
I just don't know what King Bruno would think if he were in this world? Perhaps the dukes and earls in this world's system would not betray so easily? But speaking of it, His Majesty the King also has three daughters.
According to Blanche, her eldest sister Princess Sharon married the leader of the Griffin Knights, the Border Count of the Kingdom, and the powerful Silver Moon Knight Ibn Trancy; her second sister Julia married the eldest son of Viscount Black Jade Bay. Although they are a Viscount family, they have a special mineral material - Black Jade.
It is said that this material is used when forging weapons used by knights of Meteor level and above, and only members of the Heiyu family who have mastered the secret art of bloodline have the ability to forge and process this material.
Although neither of Blanche's two sisters married into the duke's family, it cannot be said that there was anything wrong with the king's arrangement.
After all, these two women of his, one is a powerful Silver Moon Knight, and the other is a family heir with special abilities.
And according to Bruno's plan, he would marry his third daughter to the Gistana family, which would also strengthen his relationship with other principalities. However, he did not expect that two accidents would occur in succession, causing the marriage to end in vain.
Compared to the Torancei and Heiyu families, the Wushan family that is now married to Blanche is not only weaker in overall strength, but also in a bad situation.
There are conflicts between Wushan Territory and Moonlight Valley and Vera Principality. There is also dispute between the Viscount Territory below and the Earl of Howling Island. There is also the sea to the north, and it seems like the country is trapped in it.
If there is a war, it may be that we will face the enemy on three sides.
In these years, Lulans has been living in Wushan Castle and has rarely come out. The surrounding neighbors may have already regarded Wushan Territory as a piece of cake, and even Moonlight Valley and the Principality of Vera have taken action.
As for the Howling Island, perhaps the Fleming family was behind Ronin's attack on the sea this time.
Roning acted in a high-profile manner this time just to divert attention and stop focusing on the shameful things his predecessor did.
But what he didn't expect was that the few people on the opposite side almost wiped out all the main hostile forces of Lord Wushan.
…
Inside the hall, Knight Vali reported the conflict to His Majesty the King.
Bruno couldn't help but smile bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows after hearing this.
He had not expected that such a conflict would arise in the palace, and that both parties involved were from some of the most powerful noble families in the kingdom.
"Are you sure they are joining forces to attack Luo Ning alone?"
Knight Vali replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. Two of his followers, one a mid-level knight and the other a junior knight, were injured at the beginning and lay on the ground unable to get up. When I arrived, Master Cross had already been injured, and Earl Ronin was slightly injured by the joint attack of the rest of the people."
Bruno frowned: "Ronin didn't use Explosive Flame Slash?"
Broll said, "Whirlwind Cross is pretty powerful among level 5 fighting skills, but it's definitely not as powerful as Ronin's Explosive Flame Slash. It looks like he didn't use his full strength."
"This kid is probably afraid of hurting someone, so he still has some sense of propriety."
Bruno asked again: "Do you understand the cause of the conflict?"
"From what I have learned, it was probably Master Cross and his friends who first said something bad about the Wushan family and Earl Ronin. Then two of his knights came forward to argue and were injured. Then they were caught by Earl Ronin."
Wally scratched his head and said, "But Master Cross said that it was the two followers of Count Ronin who were impolite first."
Minister of State Arsenault added at the right moment: "Recently, there have indeed been some unfriendly comments circulating outside the palace towards Ronin."
Hearing this, Bruno frowned.
He naturally had some knowledge of Roning's past, and was willing to marry because he was forced to do so in many ways. But if someone brought Roning's affairs to the Golden Feather Palace and brought them out in the open to stop the marriage, it would not be a good thing for him and Blanche.
So, this was a deliberate conspiracy?
Bruno pondered for a while, then waved his hand: "You go and inform both parties to come to me now. I will handle this dispute before dinner. As for those nobles who like to watch the fun, let them go ride horses and shoot arrows. The Golden Feather Palace is so big, they don't need to come and join in the quarrels of the little guys."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bruno turned to Arsenault: "What kind of bad words are these?"
The Minister of State bowed slightly and said, "It talks about Earl Ronin's romantic past, how he was deprived of his inheritance rights, and how he killed Earl Orson's granddaughter. Your Majesty, this matter may have an impact on the marriage between Her Royal Highness the Princess and Wushan Castle."
Bruno nodded slightly, but he didn't look very worried.
"If Rhonin was still as useless as before, these remarks might affect the marriage between Alduin and Wushan Fort. But Rhonin is no longer useless now. In a series of recent events, he has demonstrated enough strength and wisdom."
Arsenault reminded: "Your Majesty, when you don't have enough strength to conquer others, some rumors cannot be ignored."
If Ronin was a Meteor Knight, the negative comments would have less impact, and if he was a Silver Moon Knight, it could be completely ignored. But he was only a Silver Knight, and although he was young and had great potential, he had not yet grown up.
"Well, what you said makes sense."
Bruno thought for a moment and said, "Then let them get to know Ronin again. Those rumors are useless in the face of the facts they have seen with their own eyes."
"However, Ronin's battle command and the killing of the Golden Knight at sea are only rumors, and not witnessed by many people." Arsenault said, "If we want them to get to know Ronin again, it would be best if we had a spectacular battle in front of most people."
"You are worthy of being my right-hand man. You think the same as I do!"
Bruno laughed, "I'm going to hold a tournament at Blanche's birthday party!"
