Chapter 104 The princess visits again and goes to the north
After sending away the two "distinguished guests" Alfred and Angus.
Ronan lay leisurely on the big velvet bed, enjoying the relaxation of the two maids, and made some strange humming sounds from time to time.
The maids who passed by were blushing, and the tide was ebbing...
After relaxing, there was a knock on the door outside Ronan's study.
Open the door.
It turned out to be the butler Ed.
Ed was the same age as Ronan's father, Grand Duke Ivan, and he was also a knight servant given to Ivan by the previous war prince, but he was seriously injured in the early years, and the sea of spirit was damaged, and he stopped at one stage in his life , so he became a housekeeper in frustration.
The three young ladies and one young master of the Stuart family are all under the care of the butler Ed, so the members respect him more and will not treat him as an ordinary servant.
Ronan looked at Ed, smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Ed nodded with a serious face, closed the study door, motioned the two maids to go out, and then took out something from his pocket——
A dragon mark token.
Ronan took a closer look, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why is there another piece? Who turned back?!"
Ed shook his head.
Ronan suddenly understood.
"The royal family gave more than two dollars?"
"Ah."
Trouble!
This thought came to Ronan's mind.
He privately sent a letter to his father to understand: Over the years, every time the royal family rewarded the key to enter the Dragon Tomb, it was two yuan, no more, no less.
It turned into three yuan when it came to me? !
It’s tricky!
That His Majesty must be planning something again!
Thinking of the royal family's petty actions towards the Stuart family over the years, coupled with the recent gift of marriage, Ronan decidedly felt that something was wrong.
"Quick, close the door quickly. Don't see anyone coming tonight!"
Ed nodded immediately.
But at this moment, Ronan's study door was knocked awake again, and a maid called out: "Master, Princess Fiona is visiting, please go out and see her."
Ronan supported his forehead, but he still didn't have time.
……
In the side hall.
Ronan saw Princess Fiona in all her costumes, and two older women behind her.
Hmm... One is an assassin and the other is a knight. It seems that they are the two guards sent by the royal family to Fiona.
"Your Highness, visiting late at night will inevitably damage the majesty and face of the royal family. How about we talk in the daytime?" Ronan put on a perfunctory smile.
But Fiona refused to take this set, and took out a space ring with a white arm, and said: "I have heard that the father gave the Stuart family three keys, and you sold them to Hai Yang. One for Alfred of the Kingdom and one for Angus of the Republic of Luga, and there is one left!"
"Here are treasures and resources equivalent to it. I want to buy your third key."
Ronan was surprised that Fiona was so frank.
"Your Highness, forgive me for your ignorance. If you want a quota, you can ask His Majesty to ask for it. Why do you have to go to such lengths to ask me to buy a quota?" Ronan asked curiously.
This is indeed a question worth thinking about.
But as soon as Ronan asked this, Fiona's iceberg-like face revealed a trace of unnaturalness.
"...The royal quota is only enough for me at the moment. My father said that those extra quotas have long been promised to be rewarded to the nobles. As a royal princess, I should not make an exception, so..."
"My sincerity is very high, so you just say whether you will sell it or not?"
Ronan took a deep look at Fiona, and always felt that the iceberg princess seemed to be arrogant, but he had no evidence, so he had no choice but to give up.
Spiritual power probed into the space ring, and found a lot of precious resources and treasures as expected, which is enough to prove that Her Royal Highness the Princess came to do business with sincerity.
After thinking about it, Ronan nodded and agreed.
half an hour.
Looking at Her Royal Highness who left contentedly, Ronan fell into deep thought.
... His Majesty, what exactly is he planning?
……
The opening time of the Dragon Tomb is scheduled to be two weeks later.
Because only at that specific time, the huge dragon cemetery floating in the void will approach the main world, and this will allow the priests of the palace mages of the Winter Empire to capture the fluctuations.
During this period……
Ronan was lazing leisurely... No, he planned to go to the north in the name of visiting his father.
The news that Ronan was going to the north spread like wildfire.
The upper nobles of the entire Winter Empire exploded.
"He dares to leave?"
"Dare he go to the north?"
"Didn't Grand Duke Ivan explain the stakes to him? Isn't he afraid of the royal family's wrath, and cut off the title of the Stuart family in a fit of anger?"
For a while, allies from all walks of life came to the door one after another, wanting to test Ronan.
Ronan's mother, Audrey, has received invitations from many noble ladies to salons, hoping to explore the current thinking of the Stuart family through his wife's foreign policy.
In this huge capital city, there are many nobles who are natural allies of the Stuart family, and they all recognize Ronan, the future head of the Stuart family.
But Ronan ignored these voices.
What they were worried about was that Ivan, the supreme general in the northern border, was away from battle, and his family members had to stay under the control of the royal family. This was the default rule for thousands of years.
They also wanted Ronan to comply.
but,
Ronan just didn't want to obey.
One reason: He has not yet sat on the Grand Duke position, so many political opponents hope to control Ronan's preferences and temperament, so as to predict his next move.
This made Ronan very unhappy.
Secondly...the royal family's recent hand is too long.
Time and time again, he wanted to force Ronan to agree to some unavoidable conditions, so as to suppress the growing power of the Stuart family and consolidate the majesty and rule of the royal family.
Although Ronan has no second thoughts for the time being, this does not mean that he can be tested by others at will.
Default unspoken rules, right?
Hey, I'm just pretending to be stupid!
I'm just a fledgling dandy, how can I understand your complicated rules!
Adhering to the principle of pretending to be stupid, under the dumbfounded eyes of many nobles, Ronan boarded the flying monster, brought a large number of knights and servants, formed a mighty team, and headed north. Fly away.
Winter Emperor Capital.
royal palace.
After hearing the news reported by the internal affairs officer tremblingly, on the throne, His Majesty Lin Dong, who was unusually tall and in a half-dream and half-awake state, let out a "hmm" and then said nothing again.
imperial capital.
Inside the embassy of the Republic of Lugao in the Winter Empire.
When the silver elf Letitia received the news that Ronan had set off for the northern border, she panicked all of a sudden.
"Wait a minute, why is he going to the north all of a sudden?"
"I'm not even prepared for this!"
