Chapter 175 (1/2)
Elsa's acquaintance with her grandparents should have been happy. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the room is not harmonious.
The old man wept bitterly. Parola and elas like as two peas, who had been brought to the scene by eleon, met with Elsa, who was exactly the same as her daughter.
Unfortunately, on the other side, oberli and Adrian have been eyeing Donne.
”Don, make an offer.”
Obery suddenly said in a deep voice, ”how can you let Elsa stay?”
”Duke, are you kidding?”
Donne grinned. ”If you want her to stay, tell her. What's the use of telling me.”
”Come on!” aubury snorted, ”who are you kidding? Fools can see that your words have a great effect on Elsa... I tell you, our direct descendants of foal family must go to Ilus Royal Military Academy for further study. You should understand that this is a great opportunity for Elsa. You can't deprive her of the opportunity to learn and grow because of your selfishness!”
”Of course! Of course!”
Donne nodded again and again, his face full of righteousness: ”I know the meaning very well, so I didn't stop you.”
Obery and Adrian looked at Donne suspiciously. Although he said he didn't stop it, the fool could see that he didn't intend to let Elsa stay at all.
”You really don't stop?”
”Of course! I mean what I say!”
”Well... Elsa, I --”
Donne said with a smile, ”Duke, wait a minute.”
I knew it!
I'm really out of my mind to believe him!
O'brie had a real impulse to tear down Donne at the moment: ”what's up?”
”I wonder if you have heard of Datang chamber of Commerce?”
”Datang chamber of Commerce? I haven't heard of it.”
O'brie frowned and said, ”what's the matter?”
Donne grinned and looked at Hilton.
Hilton leaned over and whispered, ”the news from Bain to DIDU is relatively slow, and our supply is insufficient, so the retail merchants have not spread the news...”
”I see...”
Donne nodded and a bright smile appeared on his face: ”in that case, let me be frank, Duke. I want to work for the welfare of my people, so I set up a chamber of Commerce called Datang in Ellington to do some small business.”
”So?”
”On the one hand, I came to the imperial capital to be interrogated by the aristocratic parliament, on the other hand, I wanted to expand the market here, so -”
”Wait!”
Obery was suddenly excited. ”What are you talking about? You're going to be interrogated by the noble Council? What trouble are you in?”
”It's not a big trouble...”
”Oh...”
Obery was disappointed.
Donne is in great pain. The old bastard seems to want to see what trouble he gets into?
”Just killed a noble Lord.”
”So... What!?”
Oberley was stunned: ”'Just '? Killed a noble lord? It's all'?”
Tang en patted his forehead: ”Oh, forget, it's actually two.”
”Two!?”
Adrian was also stunned: ”what do you want to do?”
Although prandar has real gods, theocracy does not interfere with Royal Politics and is independent of royal power, so a country is still led by royal power.
In this case, the monarchy needs the nobles with vested interests to protect, so many provisions in the law protect the rights and interests of the nobles. In this environment, even his majesty Victor, who wants to touch the rights and interests of the nobles will cause very sensitive problems.
But the boy killed two noble lords in one breath!?
Well done!
Obery and Adrian looked at each other and were excited at the same time.
O'brie took Donne in his arms, patted him on the shoulder and said, ”boy, you're in big - trouble.”
”Yes, big ~ trouble!”
Adrian nodded solemnly, deliberately frightening Donne - they thought Donne looked young and should be easy to deal with.
”So let's make a deal.”
O'brie grinned: ”we'll help you settle the aristocratic Council. As a deal, you'll help us convince Elsa to stay, okay?”
Seeing that Donne didn't speak, oberli continued, ”of course, we won't treat you badly. What chamber of Commerce do you mean? We can decide to give you a special license to operate the chamber of Commerce in arlinks, recommend you to join the business alliance, and then prepare you a shop with the best location. How about it?”
With a proud smile on his face, obery was sure that no one could refuse his conditions, especially the guy was in big trouble.
Donne shook his head. ”Not much.”
The smile on aubury's face froze.
Donne glanced obliquely at obery and Adrian: ”you don't seem to understand a situation, two dukes.”
