Heroes of Silver Moon

After running all the way, Simon returned to Alpine Fort.

At the gate of the city, the knight Xavier who got the news came to greet him: "Master Simon."

Looking at this familiar old knight, Simon smiled and said, "Well, is my father there?"

Since he was a child, the old knight has always taken care of him, so naturally he won't put on airs.

"My lord is in the study, do you want to go see him?" Seeing Simon who had grown up, Xi Weier was obviously a little bit embarrassed.

The scene of sending Master Simon to the capital is still vivid in my memory, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that nine years have passed.

Time never shows mercy...

"That's right, help me settle these subordinates, and I'll go see him now." Simon became serious, which made Xi Weier look surprised.

In his perception, Simon is usually either being lazy or being mischievous.

Ever since I was a child, I have never seen Simon be serious.

Sylvia went to entertain Cirillo and other guards, and parked Simon's carriage by the way, while Simon hurried to his father Valery's study.

Standing in front of the study door, Simon stopped and took a deep breath.

Nine years ago, it was in this study that his fate changed... Now, in this study again, he will change the fate of the Hawke family!

"Father, I'm back." Simon knocked on the study door and walked in calmly.

The middle-aged Valéry, with gray hairs already appearing on his head, put down the idle book in his hand, and looked at the son who was already a little stranger.

"Recently, I heard some rumors that you were conferred the title of Marquis by the royal family..."

Valery spoke slowly, but was interrupted by Simon directly: "It's not a rumor, it's true! I am indeed a Marquis now."

Valery's heart skipped a beat, he was silent for a few seconds, and his eyes suddenly became complicated.

A Marquis, or a real Marquis! Today's Silvermoon Kingdom, even including Simon, only has three people.

Sometimes, Valery often wondered, was it right or wrong for him to send Simon to the capital to learn spells?

Although Simon's current achievements are astonishing, he has left the Hawke family after all. If Simon had been left in the Alpine Territory, what would the Hawke family look like now?

"Then, our honorable Marquis Simon, may I ask why you have come to the Alpine Castle?" Valéry became more and more angry, so he said eccentrically.

Why was he so cheap back then? Why do you have to send this son to the capital?

"Ahem..." Simon was choked up immediately, and replied in embarrassment: "Well, father, the royal family has allowed me to return to the Hawke family, and allowed the merger of the new French collar and the high mountain collar."

Valery was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly felt that he had an auditory hallucination: "What did you say?"

No way, Simon had to repeat the words again.

At this moment, Valery stopped talking, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face, but suddenly, as if thinking of something, he rested his hand on his forehead, propped his elbow on the table, and fell silent for a while.

Simon's return to the Hawke family, and the merger of Xinfaling and Gaoshanling are good things, but there are so many good things in the world.

All good things come with a price...

"Hey, do you need me to do something?" Valery said sadly.

Although he has outstanding military talent, he is really not a smart person, especially in these political matters.

Simon said with a serious face: "The absolute control of the territory, those old retainers of the Hawke family, must not let them interfere with my decision-making."

Although he looks gentle, in his bones, he has always been a domineering person. In Xinfaling, Deborah, Harris and others certainly dare not confront him.

But once the two territories are merged, those old retainers of the Hawke family will not show his face so much.

These old retainers have been loyal to the Hawke family for generations and have made outstanding achievements. At that time, the penalty will not be, no matter what, it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, Simon needed Valery to restrain them. As the lord who had ruled the Alpine Territory for thirty years, Valery definitely had this prestige.

"Absolute control of the territory..." Valery was caught in a dilemma for a while, Simon was going to completely take over the rhythm of the Alpine Territory!

Having been a lord for more than 30 years, it is indeed difficult to give up the power in his hands. As for restraining his retainers, this is not a big problem.

"Father, isn't what you are after the prosperity of the family?"

Seeing that Valery was hesitant, Simon persuaded: "The area of ​​the New French Territory is eight times that of the High Mountain Territory, and the gap between the population and the army is even greater. Once the two territories merge, the new French Territory must have the upper hand. If It is still the Gaoshan leader who holds power, what will be the consequences?"

It is the truth of this world that the weak obey the strong. If the weak demand the strong to obey, it will definitely lead to disputes.

In the end, such disputes can only be quelled if the weak are completely eliminated.

Valery's heart trembled, he raised his head suddenly, and stared at Simon with stern eyes.

Simon spread his hands helplessly: "Father, I'm just stating a fact!"

Valery's face was a bit ugly, and he sat behind the desk and looked at Simon silently. After a long time, he said with complicated eyes: "Simon, you have grown up!"

Although the previous Simon was relatively demonic, he would never give people such a sense of oppression. The current Simon is like a tiger that has started to grind its teeth.

"Oh..." Simon sighed, and said, "I don't want to grow up either, but this is how this world is~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are always people who are forcing you to grow up."

First sent to the royal capital by his father, he assumed the expectations of the Hawke family, and then assumed the expectations of his lover and friends, and now the royal family gave him even greater expectations.

In order to better fulfill his expectations, he also had to make changes time and time again.

Valery fell into a deep silence again after hearing this. Yes, everyone was asking Simon to pay, but no one had ever considered Simon's feelings.

He was like this, and so were Simon's friends, not to mention the royal family.

Thinking of this, Valéry felt a little guilty, and said to his son: "Oh, okay! Okay! Gaoshan leader, it's not bad to let you take charge. I will inform the retainers that the Hawke family meeting will be held tomorrow. !"

Xinfaling has only been developed for five years, and it has become more and more prosperous day by day. However, during the more than 30 years of his operation, the high mountain collar of the Hawke family has not improved.

Simon has used facts to prove how failed he is as a lord!

"Thank you for your understanding." Seeing his father finally let go, Simon also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't want to confront his relatives.

But in the arena, he can't help himself, he really needs the inheritance of the Hawke family.

The background of the Hawke family, to be honest, is the same. Simon didn't pay attention to it at all. He took over the Hawke family in order to integrate into the circle of nobles.

Without a long inheritance, those nobles with their eyes up to the sky, even if they respect you on the surface, they must be dismissive in their hearts.

The foundation of the northern lord is solid, and he can only integrate the southern lord when he has no way to turn the table.

And in order to gain the approval of the lords of the southern border, the first step is to become a part of the lords of the southern border. After all, only one of them can be the leader of a group.
