Chapter 110 109. Count Stesa
Prinslav Count Stesa.
How should we evaluate this noble gentleman?
He is the king of Temeria and Foltest's cousin.
Has a handsome appearance brought by good blood relations.
However, among the reasons why 99% of the women in Temeria wanted to climb into his bed and become pregnant with his child, the reason why Face was true accounted for less than 1%.
Face is not as good as power and money.
Far inferior.
In these two aspects, the Earl is unparalleled in the limelight.
This has something to do with his blood relationship with Foltest, but it’s not a big deal.
It is an open secret within the king's administration that Count Stetha is a vocal pro-Nilfgaardian representative.
In this regard, they are incompatible with the "warning southern imperial faction" advocated by King Foltest.
Maybe it’s because of my travel experience when I was young, or maybe it’s because of the various books I brought back from the south during my travels.
In short, whenever the count talks about the strange empire in the south of the continent, it seems like he is talking about his long-lost hometown.
"Advanced system", "national invention and creativity", "people's good moral character" and "huge potential" are all words he often mentioned.
Although according to insiders, his trip to the south only lasted for half a year.
But for political leanings, let alone half a year, even if you have never been there for a day, as long as you say the above words, it is enough to serve as a banner.
It is impossible for everyone in a country to be of the same mind.
Foltest gathered a group of people who recognized him.
Then Count Stesa's repeated remarks will naturally gather people in the country who have a tendency to be friendly to Nilfgaard.
If it were more than ten years ago, this would naturally be useless.
However, in recent times, the Nilfgaardian Empire has become stronger in international trade and economy, as well as the military power of annexing the coastal country-Ebin into a province.
The number of merchants, manor owners and officials who are friendly to the Nilfgaard Empire is naturally becoming larger and larger.
So far, it has become a force that cannot be underestimated in Temeria.
To what extent should it not be ignored?
At least our Temerian royal advisor, the powerful Triss. After hearing this name, I took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.
She was supposed to be the one playing power in this country, but in front of this name, she didn't act like a player, but like a chess piece.
“Go back to Aretuosa for a while, Lann.”
Back in the tavern of Darkwater, Lann held a glass of Kaedwen stout and Triss communicates through conical crystals.
Although they have only met for a short time, Triss is already very aware of Lan En’s character and determination.
But even so, in her hesitant words, she still advised Lan En to let go.
“Kayla and I are still frightened by the investigation, the enormous influence shown by our opponents, and the control of intelligence. But what if all this happened to Prince Lamar? With Sa, Keira and I no longer have any doubts about the predicament we are facing."
"Lan, the other party's power is very strong."
Terri! Si solemnly emphasized again.
"He is the kind of strong man who can even command the city defense army in Vizima as long as the direction of mobilization is not the palace, but he is just scolded by the king afterwards! Can you understand?!"
"Since ancient times, kings have been the most suspicious and ruthless human beings! Facing a cousin who can exert influence on the city defense army, Foltest just 'reprimanded' him not because he cared about family ties, but because he knew , once the other party is really touched, the impact on Temeria will be absolutely unbearable."
Triss tried hard to explain to Lan En that the person they involved was by no means an easy person! A guy who can convict someone.
Even if Foltest comes back from playing at this moment and sits on the chair in Vizima Palace again, he can't!
Faced with this level of power, the law is powerless.
There is a high probability that the guillotine cut off by the law will not fall on these people.
Unlike Triss, who was anxious and panicked, Lan En's tone was just like the Kaedweni stout in his hand.
It is like a cold calm brought out from the basement. "So, you suggest that I save myself and watch that bastard continue his business that makes me want to vomit?"
"." Triss' words stalled. , after a long time, he lowered his voice and said.
“Even a king has a lot of things he can’t do, Lan.”
"Even Arethusa College was built on the land of Temeria."
"No one in this world can live as they please."
"Understood. "Lan En calmly took a sip of the cold dark beer.
"You and Keira, just stay in the palace during this time."
"What?" Triss didn't react at first, but then when she thought about it, she suddenly Shocked.
"Lan, what do you want to do!?"
"Keep doing my job, collecting debts for Margarita and Aretuza. After all, I took the money, didn't I?"
"Don't be kidding! No normal person would do a job that requires death for money! No!"
"That's why I'm happy."
"What did you say?"< br>
Triss couldn't believe her ears.
Until Lan En repeated it again in an understatement.
"I'm happy. When I cut off the earl's head, I think I will be particularly happy. I will feel relaxed. Just like drinking a glass of ice-cold rye vodka on a hot day."< br>
“You, you”
Triss was at a loss under these words.
She has seen assassins who are here for money, assassins who are here for fame, and even assassins who have to work for the safety of their families.
But I have never seen an assassin who wants to die just to make himself comfortable!
Yes, wanting to kill Count Stesa was defined by Triss as "sending death".
"That's it, Triss. I feel very happy to be in contact with you these days. My actions will not involve you and Keira, and they have nothing to do with Aretuza. Seriously Actually, that’s not what I did. Now I’m back to my true nature?”
After saying that, Lan En’s hand left the cone crystal.
He drank the cold beer in his hand in one gulp, and the large wooden wine glass banged on the table.
“Feel comfortable!”
Lan En saw how difficult it was to survive there, starting from Willen, although he also saw the bad folk customs and rampant discrimination there.
But he still gained the friendship of a village there and met many kind-hearted families.
He also witnessed the innocent and helpless children in the camp. He saved most of them, but a small number were still taken away.
Now, let him turn back because the enemy is strong?
Tell the truth.
No way.
I don’t know whether it’s because Lan En is such a person, or it’s the influence of the gene seed. Anyway, among the mixed emotions of anger, fearlessness, determination, etc., there is also a high-spirited emotion bursting out.
He was very excited.
He began to feel aroused.
"Man, what's the fastest time from here to Vizima?"
Getting up from his seat, handing back the wine glass and popping out a silver coin, Lan greeted the bartender.
"Half a day is enough by boat."
"Really, it's really fast." The thin lips under the hood curved with satisfaction.
Now, I have your name, Lord Earl
