Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Derrick didn't even look at the copy of the deed that was sent to him, but listened to the envoy's thanks.

A mine is also a considerable income for the little prince, and can do a lot of things.

Maybe it's not an important thing for the two of them, but the sincerity contained in it is very important.

Derek is willing to give up his interests, which shows that he is sincere in fulfilling the agreement.

Prince Radek is willing to accept this gift, which shows that his position is different from that of the royal family.

It should be noted that the Garcia family, as the victim, is backed by Louis II.

The two of them tacitly showed their sincerity.

So sometimes you can't just look at the surface of things, digging into the things behind them is the most interesting.

Of course, what the two of them are going to do together is to lose their heads.

Once Louis II knows, their own heads can be saved, but many people's heads will go out to travel.

If they succeed, someone will say goodbye to their heads.

After listening to the thanks of the envoy Radek, Derek sent him away directly.

But after going out, he ran into a homeless man.

Under the gaze of the knight of the Augusta family, the other party stuffed an envelope into the arms of the messenger.

The latter looked at the knight in astonishment, and the knight looked at him expressionlessly.

"This is..."

"Greetings to Your Highness on behalf of my master, please go back, messenger."

The messenger understood that this trick was powerful and he learned a lot.

When the messenger brought back the letter and told the process, it was the first time that the little prince encountered such an excuse.

But it is true that as long as Derek is not stupid enough to raise the flag of rebellion, the king can't do anything to him.

Suspicion?

Although the king does not need evidence to suspect a person, he needs evidence to deal with a powerful noble.

Even with evidence in hand, it may not be possible to deal with it.

When he took the letter and looked at it, the wax on it was intact, which meant that no one had read it.

Prince Radek opened it and there was a simple address written inside.

"What does it mean?"

He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he thought that the count would not do meaningless things.

"Come on, find some good guys and go take a look here."

Radek has had many supporters over the years, and it is too easy to cultivate a group of close knights.

Following the address given by Derek, it was easy to find the place.

Then...

What does the Perez family want to do?

This was Radek's first reaction. No one knew that in addition to the open knights and family private soldiers, the Perez family also hid a heavy cavalry regiment.

With the size of the other party, it is too easy to find a place in the North to hide hundreds of people.

It is not illegal to form a heavy cavalry regiment. Every feudal noble can do it if he has the strength.

But hiding it secretly makes people wonder.

For the first time, Radek felt that the speculation of the unlucky Hushan was true?

"Could it be that the old Count Perez really wants to be a duke?"

Of course he knew that once Count Perez raised the flag of rebellion, the North would be in chaos.

The Perez family is not a new noble like Augusta. The network of relationships accumulated over the years is dense, and it will be a big trouble once it is launched.

As a prince and a collaborator of Count Augusta, he had to tell Louis II the news.

…

"Duke? I want to be a duke, too. It's not difficult to buy a duke, but without a duke's territory, it will only make people laugh." Count Perez laughed and denied Derek's ridicule.

The two were enjoying the spring sunshine in Swan Castle.

The old count came to see his granddaughter and get some information. He always felt that the atmosphere in the north was wrong recently, but he didn't find anything unusual.

If someone was making trouble in the north, it must be Derek, so he wanted to find out the bottom.

But he didn't find the bottom, but was trapped by Derek, who insisted that he help him to solve the inheritance of Leopold's Duke title.

Derek joked that he wanted to give the old count a duke title, but was rejected by the latter.

Count Perez was right. If he wanted the title of a court duke, the king would definitely give it to him. A title that could be inherited from generation to generation would not cost too much gold coins.

But he didn't want it. After all, without the land and army that matched his status, the title was a joke.

There were at least dozens of hereditary earls in the Kingdom of Locke, but did anyone care about them?

Only powerful nobles like Count Perez would be valued wherever they went.

The same was true for the duke.

But Derek had met the conditions. The land of a province was enough to support the title of a duke.

Even if the land belonged to the church in name, Count Perez could think of a hundred ways to reasonably obtain the inheritance rights of this land.

In the final analysis, whoever had more knights and whose knights had sharper swords was the real noble.

So after rejecting Derek's joke, the old earl thought seriously and gave a suggestion: "You'd better send someone to do some public relations in the Senate of Nobles. The stubborn people there are not easy to talk to. They won't give in without sufficient benefits."

"Forget it, I'll wait and see. I believe His Majesty the King will figure it out."

Inheriting the title of Duke is not that urgent.

You only need to get the approval of the Senate of Nobles or King Louis II, and it will be easy to pass.

Derrick believes there will be a chance, and it's not far away.

The two foxes, big and small, were testing each other, but neither of them let out a single word.

The old earl would stay here for a while, so he was not in a hurry to find out the truth.

When the old earl returned to his room to rest, Derek rubbed his smiling face and said, "Old fox."

Although he married someone's granddaughter, he still had to be on guard against what he should be on guard against.

Derek knew the Perez family very well, and never thought that they were good people.

Although the Perez family had always supported him, he knew why.

The two sides had common interests, so the relationship was harmonious.

In fact, the Perez family was no different from other nobles.

Exploiting civilians, dandy children, heavy taxes, self-reliance, and forming cliques for personal gain.

It can be said that Count Perez had done what he should have done, and he had done everything he shouldn't have done.

The primitive accumulation of capitalists was not bloody, and they all deserved to be put on the street lights.

The luxury enjoyment of the nobles was not cruel, and they all deserved to be put on the guillotine.

So, don't think that anyone is a good person, everyone is equally evil, and you should be on guard.

It's just that Derek's understanding was superficial before, and he didn't know the details of the Perez family.

Now, he has the ability to know more.

For example, old Perez, who always said that he didn't want to be a duke, has never stopped preparing for war.

Do you think this heavy cavalry purchased armor from the Augusta family and was only established in the last two years?

According to Derek's understanding, the oldest armor of this heavy cavalry dates back to thirty years ago.

The new heavy cavalry appeared openly in the Perez Knights, and these are the blades hidden in the dark.

Therefore, Derek very loyally reported this disloyal behavior to the king.
