Chapter 489 146. The True Heir
“From the Vladimir Sea to the Astra Tundra, from the Nora Marshes to the Aria Mountains, it is all my territory!”
"Oh..."
Ingrid brought a map of the Principality of Montable Rock to Annan, who didn't understand it at all. Annan handed it to Girardi: "Can you circle your location? "
Then Annan saw Girardi pick up the quill and click on the northeast corner of the map.
This is completely different from what he said...
"If you don't believe that we can form an alliance and sign the contract!" Girardi said anxiously as if grasping a life-saving straw.
“We don’t disbelieve you.” Ingrid told: “We just want to judge how much strength you have left.”
“The truth is...this ship is mine The last wealth." Girardi admitted the truth dejectedly: "I spent all my money asking for help, and even the guards thought they had nothing to do with me and ran away."
< br>"Look on the bright side, at least he didn't betray you." Ingrid "comforted", "So you have nothing?"
"I still have status!" Girardi raised his head, with unwillingness and vengeful anger flashing in his eyes, "I am the nominal heir! As long as I am alive, that mad dog has no recognized right to inherit!"< br>
“This is Middle-earth, the place most affected by Wilhelm. The Mad Dog Archduke is not the first heir, so if he wants to become the Grand Duke of the Montablrock Principality, he is destined to be boycotted - and kill everyone The successor will make him more "legitimate"
Girardi has nothing, but he still has an identity. As long as he becomes the Grand Duke, he will be able to gain the support of the entire Principality of Montable Rock in the future... …
“It seems you have become smarter. ”
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Uh...Miss Alice..." Girardi stood up awkwardly.
Annan looked at Alice and then at Girardi: "Do you know each other?"
"He wanted to know my father through me, but he used it wrongly. Way." Alice walked into the living room and sat next to Annan.
“What can I do?”
“Propose to me.”
Annan said to the embarrassed Girardi with disgust on his face: "You want Mr. Swallow to help, and you want to marry his daughter. I don't even dare to think so..."
Girardi He sat down cautiously.
"Does Mr. Shiwaro know about this?"
"I didn't see him..."
"You're lucky."
< br>
He thought that he was being targeted by Mr. Swaro because he was close to Alice. If Mr. Swaro knew that someone dared to pursue his daughter, he would probably banish Girardi to the void.
"Why are you here?"
Annan focused on Alice. There was no way, Girardi was so humble that he didn't look like a great nobleman at all, making it difficult for Annan to place him as an ally.
“I learned about your trouble from the dean.”
“I can solve it.”
"I know, I just came to take a look." Alice said calmly, "I looked outside when I came. Gem City is very good."
"It has been renamed Liberty City." Annan said The brief visit of the envoys, "This is the only good thing those bastards did."
After reminiscing with Alice, whom he had not seen for a long time, Annan paid attention to returning to the neglected Girardi: " The principality is a vassal state of the Tatun Empire, didn't you ask them for help?"
"They think this is a private matter of the Montabul Locke family..."
"Isn't Mad Dog Grand Duke usurping the throne? ”
"Because the Empire... doesn't care about this."
Annan suddenly remembered the "barbarian" nature of the Tatooine Empire... The fight between the heirs was indeed nothing to the Empire. "You came just in time, the show is about to start."
Annan looked at Ingrid standing aside, "There are still forty minutes," she said.
"Your fourth magical image?" Alice asked.
"It's just a trial that unites the hearts of Liberty City."
Annan told what the Rem mercenary group had done. When he heard that the leader Machiavelli was the master, Girard Dee expressed emotion.
"You did well." Alice said.
Annan is very happy that Alice can understand him. I looked out the window at the square and saw that residents had begun to gather.
……
At noon, eighteen mercenaries from the Rem Mercenary Group were brought out - the temporary gallows could barely accommodate these people.
Their mouths were gagged with linen so as not to delay the trial. Ingrid pushed Itilia to the gallows and pronounced their crimes in front of the residents and village survivors.
Girardi sighed, feeling that Annan was wasting precious wealth - the mercenaries themselves.
Beside Annan, Alice whispered: "Are you going to help him?"
"Why not?"
Originally, Annan was going to deal with the mad dog Archduke. Now being able to deal with the Mad Dog Archduke and befriend the future Archduke at the same time is a win-win situation.
As for helping the heir who has no chance... Annan still has the life box of the second prince. They might have a chance to form an Avengers team in the future.
Speaking of which, Girardi's appearance is not bad, and the second prince is of Montreal blood, so he shouldn't be too ugly... maybe he will have a chance to star in "The Avengers".
“I thought you wanted to be a Grand Duke”
“…Not at all.”
Annan shook his head in protest. He just wants to build the Free City and make it a wonderful city that is longed for by all living things, and then find an opportunity to go to the south to see the rat people and vampires...
At this time, Idilia finished the sentence. Said: "Execution."
The soldier standing next to the gallows put down the pedal, and Annan covered his eyes at the same time.
“Are you afraid that you still want to come see us?” Alice’s voice sounded next to her.
“I’m not scared, I just don’t want to have nightmares.”
...
“They must be crazy!”
The Mad Dog Archduke’s laughter made the candlelight in the castle hall seem to be shaking.
"They actually hanged their own people, but they just killed dozens of untouchables... I would rather exchange a thousand untouchables for a master!" Mad Dog Archduke looked at the gray-robed mage excitedly: " Mr. Dar, you are worth a city.”
“Who will stand by the thief after he killed the mercenary who helped him? We can send elite cavalry to Gem Bay now. , throw the slave contract in his face again, and if he doesn’t agree, stamp it out!”
The knight captain standing in the corner of the hall raised his head excitedly: "Crazy... crazy genius idea! Grand Duke, please let me lead the team!"
Just as the Mad Dog Archduke was about to speak, the gray-robed mage said: "Grand Duke , I suggest that we pioneer to test and consume the militia."
The Mad Dog Archduke was disturbed and suppressed his emotions: "Why?"
"Although the eternal elements of the champion warlock have disappeared. But I'm worried that he has other means..."
