Chapter 546 Rebellion 14
“How could this happen?”
An anxious atmosphere filled the hall of the Lord’s Mansion.
"This is a conspiracy! This must be a huge conspiracy!"
Philip was extremely sad, "These vampires from the northwest bay came to this land from the Gleyman family. They They have been ostracizing this family. Now, Alda is thriving under Graiman’s management, and they are jealous again!”
Burgan said loudly: "Master Ford, Master Philip, and everyone here, we must immediately stabilize our position and unite the strength of the entire territory to avenge Master Graiman."
"That's right. !" Someone began to echo Burgan.
Burgan said again: "So I just suggested to establish a new lord immediately. Only when the lord's seat is not vacant can we have a backbone and the people in the territory will listen to the call! In fact, this is also what Gray said. Lord Man's order, Yulio Webster, is Lord Grayman's designated successor."
"Huh?" After Burgan said it, the people who were excited just now immediately became cold. .
"You are saying that Lord Grayman decided on his heir... before he died?"
Everyone knows that Yulio Webster is a branch of the Graiman family and a close relative of the current lord. He has a mansion on the south bank of Lake Town and often comes to the lord's mansion. Move around a bit.
"Yes, that is what Stefano relayed. Otherwise, as an officer of the training department, how could I dare to say such arrogant words in such a sacred place as the Lord's Mansion."
After a period of silence, Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, said: "Stefano, do you have your written order with me?"
The guard named Stefano shook his head. Shaking his head, "It was too chaotic at the time, and the earl was also seriously injured, so no written order was given."
Butler Philip said lonelyly: "In terms of blood relationship, it is indeed the Webster family that has the strongest He is qualified to inherit the position of lord, but..." He turned his attention to the head of the Government Affairs Council.
No written order? Such an important matter was based solely on word of mouth... Director Ford had a doubt in his heart.
He shook his head and said: "The heir to the territory is of great importance and cannot be decided hastily, and... and it needs to be discussed with Earl Garnard who is still in Bailding. He is Lord Grayman. Brother of the alliance, Lord Canard's opinion is very important."
Burgan was very puzzled, "Why should we listen to Bailding's opinion on Alda's affairs?"
Old Ford. He replied: "Watch your words, don't you know that with the help of the two earls, Alda, Bairdine and Emden have become an indivisible whole. In fact, except for Lord Garner, The nobles of the vassal territories of Emden also have the right to express their opinions on the matter of succession - after all, they also swore allegiance to Lord Graiman after the Assumption War."
Damn it! Burgan cursed in his mind. His attitude towards Baildin and Emden has always been that they are lands conquered and ruled by Arda, and they only need to obediently obey the instructions from Lake Town.
Burgan insisted: "But this is Lord Graiman's order!"
Old Ford also insisted: "The heir of the monarch is never the monarch's business alone! In addition... someone comes!"
The two guards immediately entered the hall after hearing the order, which made Burgan panic, but fortunately he did not show it on his face. The head of the Government Affairs Council ordered in a majestic tone: "Find a room in the Lord's Mansion for Stefano to recover from his injuries, but he is not allowed to leave the Lord's Mansion."
Stefano One of the exposed eyes showed a frightened expression. "Come with us, Stefano." The two guards who came in greeted the injured companion.
Stefano turned his neck slightly and glanced at Burgan - this detail was captured by many people - of course, Burgan did not respond to him.
The two guards retreated with Stefano.
"Master Controller, what does this mean?"
"He may have rebelled, and the rebels sent him back."
That's what Old Ford said , recalling Stefano's glance at Burgan just now, I must examine this Stefano carefully when I have time, and ask him carefully about every detail of Paul's attack. If he was sent by a traitor, after all, There will be one or two flaws.
Moreover, as the head of the Government Affairs Council, he knew that in Port Fulan, there was a group of Cape Bay immigrants with special identities and strange abilities. Perhaps there were people among them who could tell lies.
Oh, thinking of this, Old Ford sighed in his heart. It's a pity that Ms. Ladi Setia is not here. She went with Mr. Grayman, and there is a high probability that... I should have taken care of it myself in the first place. She was summoned to the Government Affairs Council.
I didn’t expect that things would turn out like this. Burgan quickly thought about it and said: "It will take two or three days to get to Baierding, even if you ride a fast horse, and it will take you two or three days to get to Emden. It's even further away. But this is a critical moment, and it's a matter of life and death for Arda. If there is no one with the same status as the invaders - the lord level - to speak out, those foreign lords who are eyeing us will use their identities. Therefore, I still suggest that we immediately support a new lord and write a letter to those with ill intentions as the Lord of Lake Town to let them know that we have already done so. With a new leader, the internal situation is as solid as a rock."
"This..." Old Ford tugged at his beard and groaned. This Burgan made sense.
"Sir Ford, everyone here. I can trust Mr. Gardner, but as for the others, if they insist on bringing their troops to the town of Lake Center, will they have any doubts about who will inherit it? Do you want these outsiders to dictate the position of lord?”
Of course everyone is reluctant.
“Therefore, I suggest,” Burgan said loudly: “Let Your Excellency Yurio, designated by Mr. Grayman, perform his duties as the acting lord for a period of time, and negotiate with the outside world in the name of the lord, at least first. The current dilemma is to wait until the situation stabilizes before discussing who will officially inherit the lord."
"This..."
Old Ford stroked his beard. Acting lord? It seems to be a feasible solution.
Not only the Ford director, but also the officials present were whispering to each other, and many people thought it was okay.
Burgan's hands were sweating and he was very nervous. If that still didn't work, he could only call in the militiamen outside who were under his control.
But in that case the situation will be much more complicated, and they will completely break up with the people in power in Huxin Town. If they refuse to cooperate, they will have no choice but to go on a killing spree.
