Guidebook for the Dark Duke

The Duke of Rand looked at Evan coldly, this person he noticed from the beginning, but he didn't really take him seriously, thinking it was someone beside Oram A secretary, but seeing that he dares to speak now, it is obvious that his guess is wrong.

"Who are you?" His tone was very cold, but the corners of his eyes kept focusing on Lord Orlam and Duke Wilson who were standing beside him.

Evan nodded politely: "My name is Evan Bruce, and I'm a priest."

"Pastor?" Duke Rand's expression was almost sarcastic: "What are you here for? Are you here to pray?"

Faced with Duke Rand's rudeness, Evan's expression remained unchanged.

Seeing him so calm, Duke Rand felt that this man was a little interesting, and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you asking this? Don't you want to preside over his funeral?"

After finishing speaking, Duke Rand laughed, as if he had told a very funny joke, but everyone else had a cold face, and no one showed any expression.

Seeing that none of them responded, Duke Rand also felt bored and stopped his laughter.

"Of course I am not qualified to preside over His Majesty's funeral." Evan's tone was still very calm: "It's just that I am very puzzled, since the king has passed away, as His Majesty's brother, why are you the first Remember not to officiate the funeral for His Majesty the King, but to contain Lord Oram?"

Evan is not actually a mean person, but at this moment, in the face of such a scene, he has to say such words, Duke Rand is very suspicious, only the maximum To stimulate the Duke of Rand, the more confident he behaves, the more doubts in the Duke of Rand's heart will be, and the more time they will gain.

The Duke of Rand was really enraged by Evan's words, he even wanted to rush to fight Evan, but fortunately he was stopped by Lord Oram's bodyguard.

"What are you doing?" Lord Oram looked at Duke Rand with a half-smile: "Pastor Bruce is just asking you a question. If you don't want to answer, then don't answer. It's too ungentleman, and it doesn't match your identity."

The Duke of Rand looked at Lord Oram fiercely, pushed away the restraint of the guards, and glared at Evan again, with a gloomy expression that made Evan's heart skip a beat.

The Duke of Rand is gone, and Lord Oram has been watching him leave, but Evan is relieved. The character of the Duke of Rand is a little involved in the original text, and he is also the same. After racking my brains for a few days, I only hoped that my provocation just now would have some effect.

The Duke of Rand returned to his army, and his deputy hurriedly greeted him.

"Sir Duke, are you all right?" Now Duke Rand is the center of their group. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid they will die without a place to be buried.

Duke Rand's expression was very gloomy.

"Don't move for now, transfer some people back to London to stabilize the situation." Duke Rand said after a long time.

The deputy was a little puzzled by his order: "Are you going to give up the arrest here?" The duke was determined to win Lord Orlam's castle, but at this time he suddenly had to transfer someone back to London , Are you really going to give up on capturing Lord Oram?

"Humph!" Duke Rand sneered, looking at the gradually brightening sky, and said in a low voice: "Of course I won't give up, Oram wants to prevent me from damage by being calm. Be vigilant, but unfortunately the priest beside him is too eager for quick success and wants to provoke me. They deliberately show calm, and they must have no backing hands. Now I don't have many guards, so I don't need to waste time in this place. , Now other princes and nobles still need to be dealt with, you should bring some people back first."

, after the initial anger passed, he really thought of this.

The deputy was very convinced of Duke Rand's judgment, and immediately sent a slightly shameful compliment.

"You are really the wisest person I have ever met. It's just those people in London. If they didn't see you, I'm afraid they wouldn't be easily controlled by their subordinates."

What the deputy said is a very real problem. The eyes of the nobles in London are above the top, and a small deputy cannot convince the public.

The Duke of Rand thought about it for a while, now Lord Oram is basically a turtle in a urn, just need to attack the castle, the matter here can be solved, but things in London are more complicated …

"Alright, then you can stay here and I'll go back to London." The Duke of Rand finally made a decision, but his decision turned all his previous efforts into None.

**

Lord Oram and his party returned to the castle, but found that several gentlemen who were supposed to return to the room were waiting in the living room. When they saw them coming in, they immediately greeted them.

"Lord, what does the Duke of Rand say?" asked a gentleman who was relatively close to Lord Oram.

Lord Oram pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, it's just the old sayings, it's just that my relationship with him has reached this point, and it came out of his mouth. If so, do you think there is any credibility?"

He was also imprisoned at the time. Others might believe what Lord Oram had promised before, but he had doubts.

Before he finished speaking, Lord Oram interrupted him with a wave, and looked at him with a sneer: "What's the matter? Do you want to join Rand?"

The man was shocked by Lord Oram's eyes and sweated coldly. Looking at the indifferent guard standing behind Lord Oram, he suddenly realized that his destiny was indeed in the hands of his eyes. In the hands of people, he is now really tied to Lord Oram's chariot, and he can only follow him.

"No no no..." The man took a few steps back: "Duke Rand has done something against the law, and now that His Majesty the King has passed away, I swear to support Prince George."

Lord Oram looked at him with a half-smile, with a sarcastic expression in his eyes: "Okay, you don't have to explain, go on!"

This is the advantage of power, this is the advantage of mastering the fate of others, and now he is just a man who is forced to control his fate, and the only one who can seize it is Duke Wilson .

"Now these people have dissent, I really don't know if they can last until tonight." Lord Oram said sarcastically.

Duke Wilson frowned, and a hint of gloom flashed on his indifferent face: "Don't worry, these people are just a mob, you send a few more people to guard the hall, they don't dare to take their lives. "

Increase, this plan was originally a double-edged sword, but they can only choose this path at this time, otherwise it will be a death anyway.

As expected, an hour later, there was a fierce fight outside the wall, even Evan was a little frightened when he was sitting in the living room, but the nobles hiding in the bedroom nodded. There was no risk, and no one came out to find out what was going on.

So many nobles will not be executed. At most, they will be expelled from the center of power, but their lives can be preserved, but if they are linked with Lord Oram, then they will not be saved.

, the most important thing is not to eradicate him as a person with different political views, but to ensure that he can inherit the throne, and it is not a very wise way to offend most of the nobles at this time, so even if he is concerned about these nobles, he The attack may be eased, otherwise, intermarriage between nobles is very common, if any big person is provoked, I am afraid that the Duke of Rand is not willing to face it.

But in the general direction, these kinds of concerns are just trivial matters. The most important thing now is how much Lord Oram's bodyguards can support.

Duke Wilson was himself.

Duke Wilson raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lord Oram, the soldiers under Duke Rand were all elite guards in Buckingham Palace, but these guards under Lord Oram, but The training was recruited from the common people, of course, the same thing. The only thing they occupy now is the location. If this castle is really as strong as what Lord Oram said, then their hopes are even greater.

"Hopefully we can hold on to that moment." Duke Wilson whispered, and then he turned his thoughts around again, looked back at Lord Oram, and suddenly said: "Since we have reached this point now , then why don't you tell me where did Prince George go?"

Although Lord Orlam repeatedly assured him of Prince George's safety, he still had reservations about where Prince George went. Of course, Duke Wilson understood his idea of ​​leaving a hand before, but since everything has arrived At this point, Duke Wilson of course has to ask clearly.

But when he talked about this, Oram gave a wry smile: "You have stopped me, in fact, to be honest with you, Prince George didn't actually tell me. After his movements, I, like you, don't know where he went."

When these words were said, Duke Wilson's expression froze, and even Evan, who was sitting beside him, was stunned.
