Quadruple split

violet empire

Royal Capital Salamun, Mercury Garden

Futaba sat with a serious face in the study that originally belonged to Buffy Marshall, frowning and not knowing what she was thinking. Levin and Cassie were also here. Both of them seemed to be in a very good mood, not to mention The fox man was completely overjoyed, and even Cassie, who was usually so stern as if his facial nerves were dead, was smiling, obviously very satisfied with the current situation.

They really couldn't be dissatisfied. After all, everyone could see Buffy Marshall's expression. In Futaba's words, it was as if someone had just fed a big mouthful of SHI. They were so happy.

The investigation team composed of seven grand dukes and the Violet royal family has been basically formed. It is expected to set off in the evening of this day. The Fire Claw leader will be personally followed by Lewen. Most of the other members are from various lords who are coming to the royal capital this time. As for the bodyguards and cronies, it is still unclear who the Violet family will send, but in this case it is no longer important. As long as there are no huge omissions, the Marshall family, which has not received any information at all, will definitely be caught off guard. …

"But I'm still a little worried, Miss Futaba." Lewin tried his best to suppress the smile on his face and said to the orange-haired girl behind the long table: "After all, only Buffy Marshall and his group are grounded now. The other princes are completely free to move around, are you sure they won't do anything behind the scenes?"

Futaba was holding two small fireballs thoughtfully at the moment. After hearing what Levin said, he replied without looking up: "Of course I am sure."

"But……"

The gentle half-orc from the Fox Tribe subconsciously shook his tail: "Not to mention Grand Duke Baroka, Grand Duke Crystal Wolf, Grand Duke Dantes and Grand Duke Fernand, but the Hussein family has been with the Marshall family in recent years. There have always been frequent contacts, and Mr. Ned even found some evidence that Hussein purchased slaves. More importantly, Scorpius Hussein's character was quite low. In his eyes, catching and selling slaves was a This kind of thing is not a violation of principles at all, because he has no principles at all!"

Futaba raised his eyebrows, threw the two element aggregates that had been coiled into ice balls on the table, and chuckled: "Not only that, I don't know if the Grand Duke Ximu Simon is reliable. He and Buffy Marshall were classmates for a while, you still want to say that, right?"

"Well, I know I shouldn't mention this at this time. After all, being able to achieve this result is already unimaginable for us in the Fire Claw Territory." Lewen smiled coquettishly, and then sat down next to him. Sitting on the chair, he sighed softly: "But precisely because it has developed to this point, I am afraid that something will go wrong."

Futaba leaned back, carelessly put his legs on the desk in front of him, and yawned lazily: "I think too much, whether it's that little bitch Hussein, or that one Even Archduke Simon, who had sex with Marshall when he was a student, would not act rashly now."

Levine was stunned: "What... are you gay?"

"Yeah, didn't you tell me that?" Futaba stretched his body slightly, smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Marshall and Simon shared the same bed for a while~"

Levine was confused at the time: "I'm talking about classmates! We studied at the Knight Academy together!"

"And then we slept together?"

"No! No!"

"Huh? How do you know they haven't slept together? You also studied in that college?"

"Ah, I...I didn't."

"Then you are very familiar with them and know their details very clearly?"

"This, neither."

"Then how do you prove that they have never slept together?"

Futaba narrowed her eyes with interest and looked at Lewen, who was completely confused, with a smile.

The latter was already sweating profusely and began to think about whether the Grand Duke Marshall and the Grand Duke Simon had ever slept together...

"I said, the focus now should not be on this issue."

In the end, it was Cassie who brought the topic back. He looked helplessly at Futaba, who suddenly became more interested, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you so sure that others will not help the Marshall family during this period? Levine What I just said is correct, many people’s character is not trustworthy and they don’t even have the slightest principles or bottom line.”

"Oh~"

Futaba smiled, folded his legs slowly, summoned an elemental hand out of thin air and shook it: "I have never been a person with conscience and principles, nor do I care about other people's morals. What kind of expectations do you have, you guys are still too naive..."

The elemental hand in mid-air replaced the index finger with a thumb, the kind that rushed down.

Levin scratched his hair and said humbly: "I would like to hear the details."

He couldn't help but be humble, because the Miss Futaba in front of him was indeed dozens of levels higher than him in terms of scheming.

"To put it simply, it's no good." Futaba didn't sell it. She summoned another elemental hand and made a 'spread hands' gesture: "First of all, the Marshall family is facing an unprecedented crisis. If you report It's okay to say that the perpetrators are just a small person, but think about it, the one who accused them was another grand duke. The height of this matter directly rose to another level. Slave catching and trading can be big or small, but among them The term "small" means that it can cover up the past or the power gap between the two sides is too large, but the current situation is that the two nobles in the empire are fighting each other head-on. I, representing Grand Duke Xiluo, did not leave any room for it at the meeting. , so everyone must 'take' this matter seriously. Even if Hussein and Archduke Simon have a good relationship with Marshall, they must first consider whether they are ready to fight with Fire Claw before they want to take action. The enemy’s preparation~”

Levine nodded thoughtfully: "That seems to be the case. Everyone can see our attitude. If anyone helps the Marshall family during this period, it will be equivalent to breaking up with us."

"Oh, it's not too stupid." Futaba praised Levin casually, and then continued: "Everyone can see that we are well prepared. Marshall has not suffered unjustly in this round of losses, so it is easy for us to win." We have come to the conclusion that it is reasonable not to help the Marshall family for the time being, and there is nothing to be resentful about, but if you help, it will be equivalent to challenging the Fire Claw head-on, not to mention... at least so far, no one can see the Marshall comeback. hope."

Cassie bowed to Futaba gratefully: "It's all your credit."

"Nonsense, if it's not my credit, why should it be yours?"

Futaba curled her lips, stretched out her thumbs to control the two elemental hands in mid-air and 'clicked' in her direction, and then smiled: "But what I just said is not the point."

LeVine/Casey: (⊙⊙)?

The girl took out a bottle of mana potion containing half a lemon from her backpack and took a sip. She shuddered slightly and said, "Hiss, this thing is really powerful... Well, you two should know what to do in the Violet Empire." How troublesome is it to convict a great lord?"

Cassie shook her head silently.

"I know a little bit." Lewin raised his hand and said with pride: "According to the Imperial Code, if you want to convict the nine lords, including the royal family, you must go through a vote. In addition to being accused, Except for the guilty family, each representative of the other families has one vote, and the Violet royal family has two votes... Uh, wait a minute, what do you mean?"

Futaba dispersed the two elemental hands that were guessing at each other in mid-air, and sneered: "If you want to sell favors or blackmail, wouldn't it be better to wait until the voting is about to start?"

Cassie's face froze: "In that case, even if the investigators find conclusive evidence, as long as the Marshallese can win the majority in the pre-conviction vote..."

"Then the conviction will not be established for the time being. Of course, a more 'detailed' investigation will be organized later, but to put it bluntly, it is just a formality." Futaba licked the corners of his mouth and said leisurely: "Because the accused You must have paid enough at that time, so there will basically be nothing to follow~"

Lewin shook his head vigorously and said with a very ugly face: "Impossible? Does anyone still think Marshall is innocent now?"

"Idiot, what does this have to do with being innocent?" Futaba sneered and spread his hands: "Don't worry, I have done everything I should do. Isn't that why I made myself look like a crazy woman before? Let that bitch Buffy Marshall lose his temper in public? His appearance speaks for itself, and it’s not that easy to make a comeback."

LeVine and Cassie nodded silently, the expressions on their faces were still a little downcast.

Perhaps they who hold high positions in the Fire Claw Territory do not lack vision, wisdom and talent, but having lived in that land of simple folk customs for many years, they are really not able to stand up to the challenge when it comes to scheming. Even those who have just succeeded The Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf, who had only been in the position of lord for a few years, had to leave them dozens of blocks behind.

"That bitch thought she had deceived me at first." Futaba stood up, walked to the rows of bookshelves on one side of the room, and laughed jokingly: "That's why she was so obediently led to a dead end by me. , Ha, he can have no contact with people, he can be monitored, he can be placed under house arrest, he can not be sent back to his hometown... Doesn’t that clearly tell me that there is something wrong with the place where he lives now~"

The girl smiled and took out the two big books in front of her, then swapped their positions and inserted them back in. The next second, there was a soft sound from somewhere in the room.

She returned to the table, then gently opened a drawer on the left, took out an icy blue tray, and winked at the two people in front of her: "The magic is completely made of buzzing mineral cores. The props are engraved with more than two hundred space glyphs with directional teleportation functions, and this is his trump card."

"Even I didn't notice..."

Cassie's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's normal, because this mechanism is very unique. There is half a magic circle at the bottom of the two books, and the other half is on the wooden shelf directly below. Before the position is changed, it is a small magic circle. After the position is changed, it can The correct opening of the mechanism must be completed within two seconds, otherwise the previously gathered elemental power will overflow. To open it again, you need to put the two books back into their original positions, and then spend about three hours to recharge." Futaba explained the principle lightly, and then smiled at Cassie: "Don't mention you, even an ordinary great magician would have a hard time discovering this thing without a determined target."

The latter nodded in frustration: "Then you are..."

"I can see, it's as simple as that." Futaba casually brought up the topic, then turned to Levin with a smile: "I'll confirm again, the people Buffy Marshall brought to Salamun this time are all Familiar face, right?”

Lewin nodded: "Absolutely, the guards he brought are all veterans of the Knights of Buffy's Sword. In the past two years, we have been paying close attention to the trends in the Marshall Territory, so this kind of thing can still be confirmed."

Futaba confirmed again: "There are absolutely no newcomers who appeared within two months?"

They both shook their heads at the same time: "Absolutely not."

"Then I'm relieved." The girl grinned, and an elemental hand appeared out of thin air behind her and made a 'V': "In this case, Marshall, who can't pass on information and is completely under house arrest in the Red Courtyard, is nothing. There's nothing he can do to stop him, and he won't be able to find anyone else to communicate with him during this period. In this case, as long as the investigation team comes back with conclusive evidence..."

She yawned, turned and walked out the door.

"It's all settled."

…

At the same time, Salamun Royal District, Tricolor Courtyard

The emperor of the Violet Empire, Clairva Bresne, was reading a book of bards by the small pool in the Purple Heart Garden. Although the temperature has obviously turned colder during this period, this palace with countless layers of constant temperature enchantments The place still looks like early summer, and occasionally you can even see one or two butterflies flying by the flowers.

a moment later

"Father."

A powerful voice broke the silence. Clairvaux looked up and saw a tall and handsome figure walking towards here quickly. It was a human man wearing rich clothes and he looked to be about thirty years old. , except for being less elegant, he is 60% similar to Clairvaux in appearance and temperament. At first glance, he looks like his son. In fact...

He really is his son!

That's right, the person who came was none other than the eldest prince of the Violet Empire, Crown Prince Rebbe Bresne.

"You should have heard about what happened at the meeting."

Clairvaux nodded, motioned for Ribo to sit next to him, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"

"Grand Duke Fire Claw didn't rush to the imperial capital in person. He just sent an unknown advisor. It's disrespectful." Ruibo said without thinking, and then clenched his fists hard: "And that woman dared to Deceiving my father is an even greater crime! My teacher taught me to say this..."

"Haha~ Then what do you think?"

"On behalf of the royal family, I am willing to go to the Marshall Islands with the investigation team to investigate and find out the truth."

"You mean, seeing is believing?"

"seeing is believing."

"Then what?"

"Just watch from the sidelines."
