Chapter 138 Arrangements for the Funeral
When Wesson led everyone to want to ride a unicorn on the way to the toilet every day, the military camp outside Ansbach was very lively every day.
In the main tent of the military camp, Rudolf and a group of counts sat at a round table, drinking heavily and eating meat, while musicians played cheerful music beside them.
Most of the roast pig on the table has been eaten, several wine barrels are empty, and the smell of wine in the air can make people drunk.
Rudolf had just finished his wine glass, and Count Eichstadt, who was sitting next to him, immediately poured the wine for him, and a soft slime inadvertently touched his arm.
Eichstadt suddenly shrank back, his cute face blushed slightly, and Rudolph's heart beat a few times.
Rudolph leaned over, stretched out his head and whispered a few words in her ear.
Eichstadt's face immediately showed an expression of great surprise, and he kept asking Rudolph if what he just said was true.
Rudolph didn't answer and just continued drinking.
Eichstadt immediately held up the keg to pour wine for him before the glass was empty. This time he did not shrink back, but the shyness on his face became a little stronger.
After a moment, Rudolph smiled and nodded.
Count Ansbach, Count Fürth and Count Roth all saw this scene and pretended not to see it. They chatted about training hounds. Their territories were connected and they often hunted together. .
Earl Reese had no expression on his face. He was drinking and eating meat alone. He did not participate in the conversation and did not even look at the two people who were gradually getting warmer over there.
Everyone didn’t care. They all knew that the only heir of his family was now a fool, and his daughter-in-law had no children. He wanted to straighten his illegitimate child, but his in-laws opposed him. He drank all day long in the past two years and became a drunkard. When not awake.
Now everyone can see that Eichstadt is seducing Rudolf, and His Highness the Crown Prince's reaction does not look like a rookie.
As for the result, no one would think that Eichstadt would become the crown princess anyway. It is one thing to hug someone, but it is another thing to officially get married. Even if Rudolf is stupid, the king is not stupid.
But it is not useless. Several of these families were placed here by the king, and their glory is attached to the king. Without the king's support, they would end up like the current Wesson family.
Just now, these five families signed an alliance agreement under the witness of Rudolf, joining forces to fight against the neighboring Principality of Mainz and the Principality of Bain.
If Count Eichstadt can have the most in-depth cooperation with the prince, it will be extremely beneficial to strengthening the relationship between the alliance and the royal family.
Rudolph and others were having activities, and everyone quickly dispersed after eating and drinking.
Earl Rees walked out of the tent, and the butler was already waiting on him.
He looked up at the sun that was beginning to set in the west, and said to the butler: "Jules, come with me for a walk."
After that, Earl Rees walked out of the military camp with only the butler. , climbed a nearby mountain.
This mountain is almost 100 meters high. Now you can have a bird's eye view of the entire military camp from the top of the mountain. You can also see Rudolf riding his silver-white unicorn, with Eichstadt sitting in front of him, and the two of them together Leave the military camp and walk upstream along the nearby river.
Earl Rees found a big stone and sat down, watching the sinking sun motionlessly. It was not until the sunset began to appear that he said calmly: "Jules, your son and daughter are both in Wei." Let’s go.”
Jules stood behind the old man for a long time. At first, he thought the old man was in a daze, but he didn't expect to suddenly ask this question that could kill him.
Fortunately, they had prepared an excuse, and Jules immediately replied in a faster voice: "Reply to the master, I will send them to Wesson as undercover agents."
Reese The earl was noncommittal about this answer, but still said calmly: "You have been with me since you were ten years old, and it has been forty years now."
"Your family has been working for me since your great-grandfather. Family service, almost a hundred years ago.”
“There is one thing that I haven’t told you for forty years.”
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Jules' forehead, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Earl Rees continued: "The night before you came to me, your father told me that when you lie, you will speak faster than usual. I didn't expect that you are still like this now." Jules Cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back, and my hands were shaking slightly.
"Alas...I don't blame you." Earl Rees sighed deeply, "I am also a father, and we understand your thoughts."
< br>He patted the stone beside him and said softly: "Let's sit together. It's been many years since we sat together watching the sunset and talking about our feelings. When was the last time?"
Jules immediately replied: "It's the day before the master's sixteenth birthday."
"It turns out it's been so long." Earl Rees sighed, "In the blink of an eye, it's been thirty-six years."< br>
"Come and sit down, we haven't talked about what's on our minds for a long time."
Jules heard what the master said, and then sat down carefully next to him.
Earl Rees stretched out his fat palm and patted his shoulder, squeezed it hard, and then sighed: "You are getting old too. I remember the last time I patted your shoulder, it was you that day. When your son was born, your shoulders were thick.”
"The child is twenty years old now, your daughter is sixteen, and there is only a handful of bones left in your shoulder."
"Oh, I am sorry for you. That year I fell on the ice You jumped down to rescue me from the hole. I didn’t expect you to have offspring so late.”
“What are people of our age doing, other than paving the way for their children before they die?” Good road."
"That's what our king thought. For this reason, I lost two sons and became stupid."
"Why was I the first to accuse him. "It's Henry's fault. We had a good relationship before. If she hadn't died in infancy, she would have married Frederick. The king has guaranteed that as long as I have a grandson, even if my son is stupid, the family and title will be inherited."
Having said this, he wiped the tears from his eyes.
He had a daughter who was three years older than Frederick. At that time, after Frederick was born, the two families were planning to have a baby. Unexpectedly, the little girl died of illness not long after.
Jules lowered his head and remained silent, holding the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands.
Earl Rees continued to sigh and said: "Both of your family are smart children. It doesn't matter if you go to Wessonland. There are many outstanding scholars there. After you learn your skills, you can make a living anywhere." Eat."
"This battle is not easy to fight. They all underestimate the Wesen collar. The high yield of seeds and the continuous wealth have blinded everyone."
"That bastard Ansbach gave me all the vases that the prince brought to be inlaid with gold, but he kept all the servants they brought who could beat him."
"These people are Is it easy to serve? If that bastard Ansbach can't serve them, just give it to me. Maybe I will be killed by these people in Heim City."
"Jules, since you want something. If you sell it, you have to sell it for a good price, and you can’t let people think it is very cheap.”
“If I die and Frederick wins, you open the city gate when they come to attack the city. Well, the conditions are not harsh, just let Frederick be kind to that silly boy and let him live out his life peacefully."
Jules raised his head suddenly and turned around to look in disbelief. Earl Xiang Reese was panicked and didn't know what to say.
"Going back." Earl Rees stood up before Jules could answer.
For Earl Rees, it doesn’t matter whether he answers this matter or not. This big tree is about to fall. It is normal for the monkeys in the tree to run away. If Jules has a conscience to take care of his own Silly son, then thank the God of Light.
Earl Reese saw Rudolf and Eichstadt riding back on the unicorn. Eichstaedt held the reins, and Rudolf put his arm around her waist. He sneered and said: " I will take those vases back to the territory the day after tomorrow. You can go back and prepare a place for them to camp tomorrow. It has only been a few days since the war."
After saying this, he walked down the mountain alone under the sunset.
