Chapter 503 (1/2)
It is normal for coliver to have pressure. Although the spade family has great strength, everything seen in Ellington shows that Ellington is not as backward as rumored. They have very strong strength.
Hidden behind these rapidly developing towns is a terrible force with unlimited potential.
Considering the amazing wealth collection ability of Datang chamber of Commerce and Donne's strong declaration of independence, coliver swallowed his mouth in his chair. This time, maybe things will not go as smoothly as expected.
”Are you the messenger of the spade family?”
Suddenly hearing the voice behind him, coliver was inspired: the Lord is coming!
”Lord Donne, salute you.”
Coliver stood up and turned to salute.
”Now I am the king of Ellington, not the Lord. Ellington is independent.”
One word choked coliver speechless.
Although everyone knows that Ellington has become independent, is it a little arrogant to claim the king directly like you?
Donne sat down opposite him with Fiona and aurelia, and then went straight in: ”I don't have time to waste. Just say what you want.”
After brewing his lines, coliver thought about it and said, ”well, Duke Mandel, the head of our spade family, wants to reach a cooperative relationship with Ellington -”
”Cooperation? How?”
Donne interrupted him and looked at him with a smile: ”are you spards going to stand on our side and become our Ellington insider in arlinks? Shout when we enter arlinks, and then you stand up and respond?”
Into yarinks?
Coliver took a breath of air conditioning. The man's ambition was bigger than he thought!
”No, we --”
”Tell me directly,” Donne suddenly leaned forward, and coliver couldn't breathe with a sense of oppression. ”Do you spades want to stand over there now, support Gillard? Or support me... Or princess Aurelia?”
Donne directly pushed out Princess Aurelia as an excuse for her independence, and Aurelia next to her secretly kissed her mouth.
The dominant power of the topic is gradually controlled by Donne, but coliver is the elite of the spade family after all. After a moment of confusion, he stabilized his position and avoided talking about Donne's problem, saying: ”Our spade family is willing to secretly support Ellington and provide you with minerals, metals, food and even very important magic metals prohibited by the Empire, at the market price.”
”Oh? Interesting. Tell me about the specific cooperation method.”
Donne leaned back on his chair. Sure enough, as Princess Aurelia guessed, the spades seemed to want to make war money.
The topic seemed to develop in a favorable direction, and coliver was inspired: ”well, we have our own channels to avoid the border blockade and transport materials to Ellington. You provide the required list, and we will send someone to transport them when we are ready. Of course, the transportation cost will be shared by both parties.”
”Since Ellington has become independent, war can not be avoided when facing the prince Girard... In the future. At this time, our spade family can become a firm and powerful ally of Ellington and secretly provide you with a lot of support to help you defeat Girard.”
”Similarly, since we have provided help, we also need to be rewarded. What we need is that if your excellency Downe can really defeat Gillard and successfully climb the top in the future, our spade family needs to obtain a fief...”
Donne interrupted him with a wave of his hand and looked at him with a smile. ”Do you believe I can hit Alex?”
”You're kidding. Since you dare to be independent, it proves that you must have this confidence...”
Aurelia asked coldly, ”is that what you promised Gillard?”
”Of course not!”
Coliver replied flatly: ”the mandal clan leader has never entered the castle since the coronation ceremony. He found that his Royal Highness's character has changed greatly since the coronation. At this time, Lord Donne published the truth of questioning the death of the former king in the Datang daily. The mandal clan leader is also wondering whether there is any conspiracy, so he made this choice.”
”Your strategy is to help Ellington fight Gillard while waiting for us to dig out the truth and remain neutral before that? It is quite in line with the style of the leader of the spade family.”
Aurelia smiled faintly and said, ”tell me what you really want. The unrealistic promise of fiefdom is impossible. Even Duke Mandel can't gamble so much in this war. I don't believe he dares to cooperate with the enemy and sell the country just because of a doubt. If Gillard knows now, the spade family will be slaughtered in an instant.”
Coliver smiled bitterly in his heart. It was really not that simple. After sighing, he said: ”in fact, chief Mandel really has another request.”
Donne and Aurelia looked at each other. ”Say.”
”The spade family can form a strategic alliance with Ellington, but there are some preconditions first...”
Coliver looked at Princess aurelia. Aurelia instinctively noticed something and frowned.
”Princess aurelia, you should know what our son makaro thinks of you. Even now, he still hasn't changed and is willing to provide you with shelter and support. As long as you are willing to accept the courtship of son makaro, the leader of Mandel promised that our spade family will be willing to fully support the rise of Ellington and will do their best to provide financial support.”
”Is that your purpose?”
Aurelia sneered: ”By marrying me, I can get a good reason to help Ellington revolt. At the same time, I also hope that if the revolt fails, I can use my relationship with Gillard to let him open up and protect the vital strength of the spade family? If it succeeds, it will be immeasurable. Even if I have the opportunity to become king, if it fails, I can protect myself. Duke Mandel really thought of a plan to have the best of both worlds 。”
”But first, I have renounced the right of inheritance and engraved it on the holy tablet of light. The oath can never be broken, so it is impossible to use me to obtain the right of inheritance.”
