Chapter 476 Allegiance 3
“Your Highness.”
McDonald looked at Prince Antonio and hesitated to speak.
Johnny has been taken back from the Dias family. Regardless of whether this is done by MacDonald himself, it means that MacDonald has completely broken with the Dias family. Originally, because of Jonny For this hostage, the Dias family gained temporary allegiance from MacDonald. Now that the hostage was rescued, the original temporary allegiance immediately turned into hatred, and the gap between the two could no longer be bridged.
“Your Excellency.”
Antonio could bring back the meaning in Macdonald's eyes.
In other words, MacDonald’s idea was exactly what he expected.
"If you are at ease... Oh, I mean I don't have much experience in taking care of children, but at least his personal safety can be guaranteed. If you are at ease, you can let this child stay with me , I will put this child under my protection."
McDonald breathed a sigh of relief, and a heavy thing was put down in his heart.
"Your Highness, this is exactly what I wanted to ask you just now. However, I have already troubled you to rescue Jonny, and now I ask you to provide him with shelter. I really have to bear too much from you. ”
"Haha!" Antonio waved his hand, "What are you talking about? Have you forgotten that this child is also a descendant of the Griffin family. He has the same blood as me flowing in his body. When it comes to seniority, he You have to call me uncle. In every aspect, my obligation to him is much greater than yours."
McDonald felt a warmth in his heart, even though he knew that for a man who pursues an empire. For the most powerful prince, the above words were most likely a pretense to recruit him, but it had to be said that it was effective.
He said: "Your Highness, I thank you for your kindness. I swear that Jonny will never pose a threat to you. He and his descendants will survive as ordinary people in the empire for generations to come."< br>
"...under the rule of you and your descendants."
The old marshal's last words obviously had a profound meaning.
Prince Antonio smiled, knowing that Macdonald was on his side—at least not in his way.
“No, no, no, don’t you think it’s too cruel for Jonny? Just because of a mistake made by his ancestors that strictly speaking cannot be called a mistake, he cannot enjoy the benefits of his bloodline. This is so unfair."
"What do you mean?"
"Marshal MacDonald, I assure you, if I...if some time in the future. At this moment, I have enough power. I will restore Jonny's status as a royal member, restore him to the glory and treatment he deserves."
At this moment, MacDonald finally made up his mind. , he will do his best to assist the prince in front of him.
...
The guard knelt motionless in front of his master's seat, quietly waiting for his master's question.
The owner of the guard is an old man with white beard and hair, about sixty years old. His beard has been carefully trimmed and hangs very naturally on his chest. He is wearing a silk gown. , exuding an elegant temperament.
He is Duke Diaz, the prime minister of the Gabela Empire, the father-in-law of the current emperor, and the grandfather of the eldest prince.
"So..."
The Duke, who had been sitting quietly in his seat as if concentrating with his eyes closed, finally spoke.
"The Somoret family is... gone?"
"Yes, sir, when we went to check today, we didn't find a single living person. They were all the ashes of corpses. They have been identified. It’s hard to tell who is who.”
The old man’s face still maintained his unwavering expression.
“Can’t the child be found too?”
"Yes... he may have been buried in the sea of fire."
"Do you think this fire was an accident?"
"No, sir, I think this fire was very serious. Eighty-nine times it was deliberately caused by someone."
The old man half-opened his eyes: "What's the reason?" The guard thought about it and replied:
"First of all, the center of the disaster area. It happens to be the home of the Somoret family ”
“Secondly, according to the recollections of the night patrol guards in Hesha Town, when the fire broke out, a pillar of fire shot straight into the sky and then spread out. We don’t know how this was done, but this scene is in any way unsettling. It’s like an accidental fire.”
The old man’s hands were clenched tightly, and the Imperial Prime Minister Duke Dias was thinking about a huge question.
Where is that child?
If the child has been buried in the sea of fire, then MacDonald will definitely pour out all his anger on the eldest prince and the Dias family. If the child is rescued, then the Dias family will also lose has restrained MacDonald, and will still bear MacDonald's anger to a certain extent.
In any case, MacDonald will definitely break with the Dias family and the eldest prince.
Things have reached a tricky point.
Duke Dias thought quietly, is there a mole on his side? Or had MacDonald colluded with Antonio a long time ago and went to Antonio for help after being threatened by himself - but did he not care about the child's life or death in doing so?
The sound of footsteps interrupted Duke Dias's thinking.
The guard who reported to him before saluted the visitor, "Good day, Your Highness."
Felix, the eldest prince of the Gabela Empire, looked at his grandfather anxiously.
"Grandpa, I heard, something happened over there in Hesha Town?"
Duke Dias frowned, his noble grandson always couldn't hold back. Keep your temper, how can you shoulder the important task of being the ruler of a country like this?
He motioned to the guard to explain the situation to Felix.
The guard bravely stated the situation in Hesha Town to the eldest prince.
"Trash! They are all trash! You can't even look at a person!"
The prince vented his anger on the guard in front of him and stamped on his face. The guard licked the blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth. Make a statement.
Felix immediately determined that the fire was man-made.
This is a provocation! This is a serious provocation!
That guy Antonio slapped him in the face in such an arrogant way.
"Felix, you are so impatient!"
Duke Dias couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him.
“But, Grandpa.”
Felix waved his arms, “If that old guy MacDonald takes Antonio’s side, it will greatly enhance his power.”
Duke Dias said sharply:
"Felix, if you really plan to inherit this empire, you should develop the ability to remain calm even if the mountains collapse before your eyes."
"McDonald is certainly a powerful force, but It has not reached the point where it can destroy us, otherwise this country would have belonged to the Macdonald family, so why would you and Antonio argue?"
Felix's face turned red when Duke Dias said that.
"Grandpa, I was wrong. But, what should we do now?"
Duke Dias opened his eyes completely, revealing his eyes.
"Now that we have reached this point, some plans have to be advanced."
