Chapter 182 (1/2)
Hilton's concerns. After dinner, Donne went to obery and asked directly.
”Golden rose family?”
O'brie was stunned for a moment, and a trace of memory flashed on his face: ”of course I know...”
”Then, can you tell me why the original shops of the golden rose family will become the property of the foyer family?”
”Why do you care so much about the golden rose family?”
O'brie looked at Donne: ”... Don't tell me you're the illegitimate son of the head of the golden rose family.”
”You think too much.”
Donne said impolitely, ”I took in a member of the golden rose family. Now she helps me manage the territory and chamber of Commerce, so I have to find out about this.”
O'brie looked back and said in a low voice, ”it's a girl...”
”How did you know?”
O'brie's voice was a little bitter: ”of course I know, Fiona golden rose, the only heir of the golden rose family.”
”Do you know her?” Donne frowned. ”It seems that there are many stories in it?”
”In short, it is still a problem of factional struggle...”
Oberli sighed: ”the golden rose family is a family of businessmen. You should already know?”
Seeing Donne nodding, o'brie continued, ”so do you know the difference between royalty and nobility?”
Donne pondered for a moment, thinking about the tasks he had done in the game, trying to find some clues. Unfortunately, he didn't find any really useful clues.
I have been in this world for several months. Now the development track of this world is more and more different from that game on earth. I'm afraid many previous experiences can't be applied.
”Let me get this straight.”
After drinking tea, obery said in a deep voice, ”the biggest difference is that the Royal faction controls the military power, while the aristocracy controls the economy.”
After hearing aubury's words, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, and Donne's doubts were solved in an instant: ”you mean that the last choice of the golden rose will break the balance, so it's bad luck?”
”That's right.”
O'brie looked out of the window, his eyes a little lax, and Donne followed.
Today is the middle of the month. The pink red moon Lolita and the blue moon lolia hang on the sky together. The blurred color makes the whole city hazy and dreamy. Every time he sees these two moons, Donne will be more clear that he has come to another world and can deeply feel a sense of loneliness.
”The Royal faction and the aristocracy have been deadlocked for many years. The last majesty, that is, the father of his majesty Victor, failed to curb the power of the aristocracy, and so does his majesty Victor now.”
”Although the Royal faction has mastered the military power, the huge military expenditure leads to that the Royal faction has no spare power to deal with the aristocracy in addition to maintaining stable rule. Moreover, the royal family also needs the aristocracy's taxes to support the army.”
”The same is true of the aristocrats. They have mastered the economic lifeline of the Empire and their forces have penetrated into all aspects. If they can't be killed at once, their counterattack will be as crazy as the cult. Fortunately, they can't control military power.”
”It is precisely because of this that the two sides are in a state of balance.”
”The golden rose family was originally just a neutral chamber of Commerce. They had no intention to join the factional struggle, so they were safe with each other. However, by chance...”
At this point, o'brie's face became very complicated: ”I saved Mr. Edwards's family.”
”Mr. Edward?”
”Fiona's father, the head of the golden rose family and the head of the chamber of Commerce, Edward golden rose.”
O'brie sighed: ”Fiona was still a little girl at that time... In a twinkling of an eye, so many years have passed...”
Hearing this, Donne basically knew that the fall of the foyer family and the golden rose family must have nothing to do with it, but... With his relationship, will the golden rose family be destroyed?
”Since then, Edward and I have become good friends, and our relationship has become closer and closer. Even... I am Fiona's godfather.”
Donne was stunned: ”what!?”
Oberli said casually, ”I'm responsible for her baptism. She should have no impression, but it's not important. What's important is that because of my relationship with Edward, the golden rose family began to tend to the Royal School, which made the aristocracy uneasy.”
Donne nodded to understand that factional struggle is actually normal, but the most important thing is that it must be balanced. Once the forces of both sides are unbalanced, it will cause a chain reaction.
The relationship between aubury and Edward is undoubtedly the starting point of the chain reaction.
”In a routine national patrol, Adrian and I left arlinks at the same time, which gave the noble faction a chance to start... I also learned later that when the cash rose family tended to the Royal faction, they had begun to plan. After such a long plan, they completely uprooted the golden rose family in almost one day!”
A haze flashed across oberli's face: ”it was late when I heard the news. Edward and his wife had died. Fortunately, I got the news. Fiona was secretly sent away by them. Later, under the strong suppression of his majesty victor and me, the aristocracy stopped and saved the rest of the Golden Rose family.”
”But they wanted to reorganize, but it was impossible. The property of the golden rose family was confiscated, searched and occupied by those aristocrats under various pretexts. Fiona lost the property. In addition, she was very young and unable to organize at all. It didn't take long for those people to leave.”
”I wanted to get her back, but she didn't believe anyone when it happened, so I had to send someone to protect her in the dark.”
