Chapter 381 The Holy Lady of Light killed the gods and ascended to the throne!
Fula glared at Si Yuan and said, "How could I not know that I shouldn't agree to other people's requests casually? It's only natural for them to please me. Don't worry, they are just superficial friends. I just enjoy their flattery. I'm not stupid enough to open my heart to others just because of a little flattery."
Fulla's fake friendship full of freeloading made Si Yuan silent. He was a little worried that she could not withstand the sugar-coated bullet.
This is completely a waste of worry.
Si Yuan nodded: "It's good that you know it in your heart."
After Si Yuan reminded Fulla, he no longer cared about her social interactions in the capital city of Camor. Although Fulla was a duchess, if she really wanted to do something big, she had to go through him. Even if she used his name to do things, it wouldn't cause much trouble. With his strength, he could easily cover it.
Si Yuan's requirements for Fulla are not high, just that she should not commit any crime.
As for her little vanity, it was not a problem at all. After all, it was not a problem for a Duchess to like expensive jewelry and gorgeous clothes. This is called daily life!
The financial power of the Duke's Mansion was left to Fulla. Siyuan was only responsible for managing the extraordinary resources in the Duke's Mansion. To him, worldly wealth was just something that could be easily obtained and he didn't care about it at all.
Fulla was very happy. The entire wealth of the Duke's Mansion was under her control. It didn't matter whether she made a profit or a loss. Anyway, she had the vast territory donated by the Camor Empire and the constant tax revenue for her to squander. As long as she didn't go into debt and squandered all the cash, she would be a rich woman again in no time.
Fulla quickly integrated into the circle of noble ladies in the imperial capital. After seeing how lavishly she spent money, other noble ladies and young ladies in the capital became extremely envious when they learned that Fulla actually held the wealth and power of the Duke's Mansion.
Duke Abbott is really willing to give up power!
However, everyone also knows that this is also because Duke Abbott is a great magician who has great power within himself, and such a powerful person does not care about worldly wealth and money.
Other noble lords can only use their wealth and power to demonstrate their status and dignity.
The news that the Kamor Empire had newly appointed a duke, who was also a powerful great mage, quickly spread.
After all, the peak realm of human power is the realm of the Grand Mage. The birth of a new Grand Mage, who was recruited by the Camor Empire, is definitely a major event that can affect the situation on the continent!
After the news spread, Si Yuan's identity information in this world was investigated again and again.
Abel, who was far away in the Anderson family's territory, also received the news.
How did he, a count from a remote area far away from the center of the empire, know this news?
It was a banquet hosted by a marquis. He had finally used his connections and favors to get an invitation, and he came uninvited with a flattering look on his face, hoping to expand his network and expand the Anderson family.
As a result, when I first arrived at the party and socialized with others, I gave my name: "Abel Anderson."
The other person's face changed, and he asked subtly, "Anderson? Do you have a younger brother?"
Abel was a little confused, but it was no secret, so he nodded and replied, "Yes, I have a younger brother. His name is Abbott Anderson."
Although he drove his younger brother Abbott out of the family territory, he did not announce it to the public. He just sent someone to tell his brother and his family to leave the family territory voluntarily.
If he publicly announced that his brother's family was expelled from the family territory, it would appear that he was intolerant and would have a bad reputation. Although everyone who should know knew it, at least the common people in the territory would not know that he was a man who could not tolerate even his own brother, and he could still pretend to be a kind lord.
The nobleman that Abel spoke to was Earl Hall from the imperial capital. Although they were both earls, the Hall family was considered a famous family in the imperial capital. Although their title was not too high, they held considerable power, and even their territory was much larger than that of the Anderson family.
Therefore, when Abel approached Earl Hall to talk, he put himself in a low position. It was because they were both earls that he dared to speak to them.
Otherwise, if it was the Marquis Wilson, the organizer of this banquet, he would not even dare to step forward and talk to him. He did not have the qualifications and might even be rejected and driven away, which would be a great loss of face.
As for chatting up Earl Hall, after all, they were both earls. For the sake of their titles, even if Earl Hall ignored him, he would not do anything to embarrass him.
What Abel couldn't understand was why Earl Hall asked about his loser brother?
And after hearing his answer, Earl Hall's look at him became meaningful and intriguing.
Abel felt uneasy. Could it be that after his brother left the Anderson family, he got in touch with the Hall family?
Abel thought about it, and then said to Earl Hall in a humble manner: "My unworthy brother left the family in anger because he failed in the competition with me for the title. If he has any conflict with your family, please forgive me. I am willing to punish him on your behalf."
At this time, Abel still felt that he had responded very appropriately. Regardless of whether Abbott was on good terms with the Hall family or had offended the Hall family, his attitude was impeccable.
If Abbott was on good terms with the Hall family, he could say that he was worried that his brother had offended someone and wanted to bring him home to protect him; if Abbott had offended the Hall family, he could also say that he would never tolerate his brother's mistakes and would help punish his brother on behalf of the Hall family.
But Earl Hall didn't take Abel's little trick seriously. He just wanted to laugh after hearing what Abel said, so he really laughed: "Mr. Abel is really bold. Anyway, I dare not punish Lord Duke Abbott. If you want to disrespect Lord Duke Abbott, please don't implicate me."
After Earl Hall learned that Abel had no idea that the Duke just appointed by the Camor Empire was his brother, he realized that the relationship between the two brothers must be very bad.
But Earl Hall would not be so foolish as to deliberately bully Earl Abel just because of this speculation, thinking that he was venting the anger of Lord Duke Abbott. Lord Duke Abbott might even think that he was humiliating him.
After all, Abel is Duke Abbott's biological brother. Even though the relationship between the brothers is not good, if outsiders bully his brother, doesn't that mean they don't take him seriously?
Therefore, the very cautious Earl Hall was only a little sarcastic and mocked Abel for not knowing the identity of Duke Abbott, but did not say anything more excessive.
Abel was stunned. What did he just hear?
His Excellency the Duke of Abbott?
Is he hallucinating?
Why would he associate the name of his loser brother with that of the Duke?
Abel finally came back to his senses, and with a trembling voice, he asked Earl Hall, who had not left yet, "Mr. Hall, what did you just say? What do you mean?"
Earl Hall smiled and said, "It means exactly what it says. Don't you know? The Empire has newly appointed a Duke, and this Duke is a great mage."
Abel asked in a somewhat erratic voice, "Is this Duke called Abbot Anderson?"
Lord Hall smiled but said nothing.
What else doesn't Abel understand? It turns out that his brother Abbot, whom he thought was a loser, was actually a great mage who could easily turn around and be canonized by the empire to become a high and mighty duke!
Since you are so strong, why do you still want to compete with me for a small earl position?
This resentful thought arose in Abel's heart.
Why didn't you tell your father and me when you became so strong?
Abel hated the fact that Abbott concealed his strength. If the other party had revealed his strength earlier, he would not have competed with him for the position of heir, because Abbott could have started a new chapter in the family tree!
Abbott, who possesses the power of a great mage, is far superior to his ancestor, the first Earl Anderson.
Abel will definitely be loyal to his powerful brother. When Abbott becomes the Duke, given his relationship with Abbott, the earldom in the family will definitely be inherited by his elder brother. He may even be promoted to the rank of marquis by the empire, and a marquis with real power.
But Abbott insisted on playing the trick of hiding his strength and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, which made him offend people early on and offend them to death.
Now, he has turned around and become a great magician and a distinguished Duke.
Is he going to take revenge on him next?
Abel felt an indescribable panic in his heart. Even if Abbott would not take revenge on him personally, if outsiders found out that the relationship between the brothers was not good, there might be many powerful people who wanted to please Abbott and would take the initiative to suppress and humiliate him just to gain Abbott's favor.
And Abbott didn't need to do anything. He could easily make his brother, who had once driven him out of the family territory, lose everything.
Abel no longer cared about controlling his facial expression, nor did he care about making connections here. He stumbled out of the banquet in panic.
Earl Hall looked at Abel's embarrassed back, shook the wine glass in his hand, and sighed with pity: "What a poor unfortunate fellow."
