The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Naturally, Geralt's actions couldn't be hidden from Fringilla. She seemed to have guessed something about it, and she didn't ask much, let alone stop her. The relationship with Geralt was also calm during the day, as if she hadn't given up on this relationship. Take it to heart.

However, when everyone was preparing to leave, an unexpected event disrupted everyone's plans. Dandelion was sent to prison by the Duchess.

After hearing the news, everyone, including Leo, felt a little unbelievable, because even Leo, who was the most insensitive to feelings, could feel that the Duchess had moved her true feelings for Dandelion. External factors, maybe the Duchess has already proposed to Dandelion on her own initiative, putting on a play of women chasing men.

However, such a person who loves Dandelion suddenly ordered Dandelion to be sent to the cell, and there were even rumors that she was still considering Dandelion's execution. It feels impossible, this is a rumor, but soon after the definite news came, everyone began to wonder if the Duchess had lost her mind, so they sent Sylvia and Fringilla to Bauclair Palace to inquire about the news .

About two hours later, Sylvia and Fringila returned to the Knights of Light's station, and brought back the answer.

It turned out that all of this was purely Dandelion's death, because he seduced the duchess' maid, Baroness Nick, while the duchess was not paying attention, and had a relationship with her, and was caught by the duchess. The duchess was sent directly from the bed of Baroness Nick to the prison, and the rumors they had heard before were not entirely false. The duchess, who was angry, was indeed considering beheading Dandelion now.

"This damned guy! Can't he control his lower body?" Milva, who has a straightforward personality, waved the bow and arrow in her hand and cursed: "I should have castrated him if I knew it earlier." She turned her head to look again Looking at the men in the room, he finally fixed his eyes on Geralt, and said coldly, "Men are not good things."

Hearing that he was harmed innocently, Geralt was also a little dumbfounded, but he was not in the mood to deal with the mood of the team members, but was very concerned about the safety of his friend Dandelion, so he asked Fringilla: "Is there a way to get him out?"

"Yes, as long as Sylvia opens her mouth, I think the Countess will agree to let her go." Fringilla looked at Sylvia at the side and said.

Geralt also looked at Sylvia, but Sylvia shook her head and said, "Since the Duchess didn't kill Dandelion immediately, it means she won't kill Dandelion." Well, those cruel words were just said casually by her in a fit of anger, don't worry, it's better to keep Dandelion in prison now, lest he come out and cause trouble for everyone, we'd better wait until we leave Get him out. At that time, even if the Duchess is not willing to let it go, we can rob the prison and leave Toussaint immediately. At that time, it may be impossible for the Duchess to chase us."

Hearing Sylvia's words, everyone felt that it made sense, and even Geralt felt that it would be good for Dandelion to suffer a little in prison, so as not to cause trouble everywhere.

After learning that Dandelion was not in danger, everyone dispersed again, but Sylvia stopped Leo, and after everyone left, she said slowly: "Is this for me? "

After hearing this, Leo was stunned for a while. At first, he didn't understand what it meant, so he asked, "What's coming at you?"

Sylvia then told Leo that the nobles in Bauclair had begun to spread rumors against her in front of the Duchess.

After hearing this, Leo asked inexplicably, "Why did you come here to deal with Dandelion?"

"I think those guys may think that Dandelion often speaks well of me in front of the duchess, so the duchess will allow me to expand the knight order and establish the church." Sylvia knows these court struggles and other things very well. Explained: "So after they saw that they couldn't take me down, they decided to deal with Dandelion first, so that the Duchess would have one less person to speak for me, and then deal with me." She paused for a while. , and said: "If my guess is correct, they will find an opportunity to send Fringila away in the past two days, so that the Duchess will have no one to speak for us."

After hearing the explanation, Leo couldn't help laughing: "Don't they know that the relationship between the Duchess and you is not like that at all? Even without Dandelion and Fringilla, the Duchess wouldn't do anything to you?"

Sylvia shrugged and said, "Idiots have narrow vision, they only want to see what they want to see."

Leo smiled and said, "Is there anything I need to do?"

Sylvia was silent for a while, and said: "Since they have already attacked us, if we don't fight back, we can't justify it. Don't we just have a guy who wants to solve it? Let's use him to give those guys a warning!"

"Earl Britta?" Leo said in confirmation.

Sylvia nodded and said with a sneer: "He is the most active person among the nobles. I heard that he was the one who came up with the plan to deal with Dandelion. The baroness is said to have a good relationship with him. The convener of the Knights' Union."

"The Alliance of Knights of Light?" Leo raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't they know that you have dispersed the authority of the Knights of Light and are planning to leave Toussaint?"

Sylvia sneered: "Of course I know, but they may think I'm just creating an illusion! Anyway, in their minds, I have ulterior motives in everything I do, and every decision may be against them."

"Leave Count Britta to me!" Leo said flatly, "How do you want him to die?"

"If I really intend to do something like seize power, it is natural that Earl Britta die as miserable as possible. This can act as a deterrent enough to help me get more rights." Sylvia After thinking for a while, he said: "But we just want to prevent those nobles from jumping out to trouble us and stop us from leaving before we leave, so as long as Count Britta died suddenly in front of those people, let them know that Britta The Earl's death was caused by us, but we can't grasp any reason. We can only keep fear and suspicion in our hearts. At that time, they may wish us to leave quickly, and they will not create obstacles for us at all."

Hearing Sylvia's words, Leo nodded, expressing that he knew what to do, then walked out of the room, left the manor, and disappeared into the woods outside the manor.

Dandelion was imprisoned. For ordinary people, it was just that the Duchess lost a lover. This kind of thing is just a little talk after dinner, but most people mentioned Dandelion except gloating. , more envy, after all, even if Dandelion went to prison, he had enjoyed something they hadn't enjoyed before, lying in the duchess's bed, this alone was enough to make all the men in Taussaint I'm envious.

However, for those who planned all this, Dandelion's imprisonment was undoubtedly a great success, and this success was enough for them to hold a banquet for it. The great nobles came to Earl Britta's villa in Beauclair one after another to attend the banquet hosted by Earl Britta for this victory, and by the way discuss what to do next.

At the reception in the garden of the villa, a nobleman came to Earl Britta with a glass of wine and said, "My lord, your plan is really effective, and it succeeded in less than two days. If it weren't for you, We don't know how to get rid of that guy yet!"

"Huh! That guy is a guy who can't control his lower body at first glance. You didn't see that when he attended the banquet, his eyes never left the breasts and buttocks of those ladies. If the Duchess didn't control him strictly, he might It’s already been stolen.” Earl Britta took a sip of the wine in his glass and said, “Now we create opportunities for him and send him a big beauty, how could he bear it.”

Another young nobleman came over and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the Baroness has been implicated this time. I'm afraid it will be impossible to stay in Toussaint in the future."

"What? Are you related to Baroness Nick?" Count Britta asked with a smile.

The young noble didn't deny it either, and said frankly: "I thought about it for a while last year, and she is a very good lover."

The noble next to him smiled and said: "Then you don't have to worry about your lover, we paid a lot of money to let Baroness Nick go out, and now she's probably going to the new Nilfgaardian Empire." We’re on the way to the manor.” After finishing speaking, he told the other party another address, and said, “If you want to continue your relationship with that baroness, you’d better go there as soon as possible. But fear and anxiety require a young and strong chest like yours to lean on."

After speaking, he dismissed Earl Britta, and the young noble who was being teased didn't care, and quickly took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote down the address.

At this time, the guests had almost arrived, Count Britta signaled to the guarding knights, and all the guards and attendants left the garden and closed the door.

Count Britta walked to the strip-shaped chief seat in the middle of the garden, and rang the bell on the table with his hand to remind everyone.

The nobles who participated in the banquet in the garden walked to the table one after another and sat in seats that suited their respective identities.

It wasn't until everyone sat down that Earl Britta said: "It's just a small victory for us to solve the poet, but we are still far away from the final victory. That woman who can really get rid of the Knight of Light."

"Who else needs to be solved?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Fringilla Vigo, who has become a close friend of the Knight of Light," said Count Britta.

"You're crazy!" Many people present frowned, and one of the nobles, whose status was no worse than Earl Britta's, said mercilessly, "Miss Vigo is not the poet who has nothing. , She is a close relative of the Duchess, a court advisor, and has a lot of influence in the Nilfgaardian Empire. You actually want to deal with her. I really doubt that you were dazzled by the momentary victory. "

Earl Britta knew that this great nobleman was competing with him for the dominance of the current alliance, so no matter what he said, the other party would refute him, showing his sense of existence, so although he hated this great nobleman very much in his heart, but his face showed He didn't show any hostility, instead, he smiled and said, "I think Earl Bain misunderstood me, of course I can't want to deal with Miss Weige, I just hope that Miss Weige Get away from Toussaint for a while before we get rid of the Knight of Light problem."

"Leave Toussaint?" Someone asked in confusion, "How do you let her leave?"

"Of course, this requires the help of Baron Leonard." Earl Britta said to another liaison officer stationed here by the Nilfgaard Empire.

For the Nilfgaardian Empire, Toussaint was in his back garden, and he would never allow the Principality of Toussaint to threaten his power.

It didn’t matter that the Duchy of Toussaint had those wandering knights in the past. After all, those wandering knights were a little bit better than ordinary bandits, and they were not enough to control the surrounding areas of the Nilfgaard Empire. make an impact.

But the Knights of Light are different. From the battle of Berenhaven, it can be seen that the Knights of Light are very powerful, and because of the Knights of Light, they have firm beliefs. After the Knights, Baron Leonard believed that the most powerful Knights in the Nifergaard Empire might be inferior to it.

So when he learned that the nobles in Toussaint were dissatisfied with the upstart Knight of Light and wanted to deal with her, he took the initiative to contact them and provide necessary help to solve the Knight of Light through the hands of these nobles.

After hearing Earl Britta's introduction, Baron Leonard stood up, saluted everyone, and then briefly explained the Nilfgaard Empire's attitude towards the Knight of Light's actions in Toussaint After a moment, I said that the actions of the Knight of Light will bring instability to Toussaint, and the empire you attached is also unwilling to see any troubles in the Principality of Toussaint, especially when the emperor is preparing for a new round of Northern Expedition In this matter, he said that he would assist the Knights of Reflection Alliance to deal with the Knights of Light.

Later, he mentioned the method of transferring Fringilla Vigo. In fact, this method is very simple. It is to use the excuse of His Majesty's Northern Expedition Army to summon the accompanying mages to transfer Fringilla Vigo to Nilfgaard. The Empire stands by.
