Now Derek can only shout silently in his heart, I want to be a Duke.

But he hopes that one day he can shout it out openly.

Just as Derek and his knights began to rehearse various strategic and tactical possibilities, others were not idle either.

The silent winter does not belong to the poor people.

The nobles came and went more frequently, especially as the pace of war approached day by day.

Earl Lovett held a banquet and invited Marquis Hassan to attend.

Although the latter had just united with the Northland nobles to trick Earl Lovett once, this did not affect everyone sitting together eating, drinking, and watching the beautiful dancers dance.

This is just normal communication.

But when Earl Lovett and Marquis Hassan sat in the corner, several core nobles around them immediately approached and formed a loose circle.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the big shots may have private things to talk about, so naturally they won't look for trouble by getting in touch with them.

Those who don't have good eyesight... won't appear here at all.

"Marquis, seeing your grace again, it is indeed a wonderful plan.

But... you've tricked us. "Earl Lovett said half-complainingly, half-jokingly.

Of course, this had no impact at all on the Marquis of Hassan.

The surrounding nobles of the royal capital even smiled.

Being able to reap the fruits of victory is not something to be ashamed of, but something worth showing off.

Marquis Haishan touched his lips gently and said reservedly: "Everything is for the king."

"Then are you willing to do something for the king again?" Earl Lovett took the opportunity to press.

In fact, Marquis Hassan probably guessed the purpose of the banquet before coming, and it was nothing more than those things.

But he still came, or he didn't refuse.

As long as there is profit, you can do anything.

However, when pressed like this, in front of the core nobles of the royal capital, he could not refuse directly.

"Of course, for the king." Marquis Hassan's voice was a little stiffer.

Count Lovett's goal was achieved. He stood up on his own initiative, carried a bottle of wine, walked to the window, and invited the Marquis to join him.

The two moved further away from the nobles.

Now, a little further away is the din of the party.

Nearby, there were only a few bright lights specially lit in the garden.

"Marquis, to tell you the truth, we cannot be satisfied with the result this time."

The southern nobles had been working hard for ten years, so they could not give up this opportunity in despair.

Even the recovery of the lost territory of the barbarian kingdom was promoted by them and paid a high price.

They still supply part of the food in Saint Maitreya Province.

If it were Hai Shan, he wouldn't give up.

But...it's none of my business?

The Marquis of Haishan didn't answer at all. Anyway, you can say whatever you want. If you don't come up with some practical information, don't expect me to let go.

Earl Lovett cursed the old fox in his heart and could only show some trump cards: "Marquis, now more than half of the food in St. Maitreya Province is supplied by our southern and central regions. We only need to control it a little. At the critical time, at night A few days..."

"Impossible," Marquis Hassan suddenly changed his mind and refused: "This is not in the interest of His Majesty the King."

"It is in your interest. We only need to do it at the right time, such as when the Holy Cross people and Derek are both injured." Count Lovett spoke quickly, eagerly trying to persuade Marquis Hassan: "If the opportunity is not suitable, You can refuse.

When Viscount Derek loses his land, we can work together to hand over the Augusta territory to you. "

The temptation was so great that the Marquis of Hassan hesitated. Although there was a risk of playing with fire and burning himself, but... what belongs to the king belongs to the king, not to me.

"I haven't heard what you said today, but the king's will is above all else."

Earl Lovett understood instantly and emphasized: "Yes, the king's will is above all else. Viscount Derek is unruly and not a loyal minister of the king."

He knew it was done.

No matter how good Derek is at fighting, when the food supply is tight, I'll see how you fight.

As for whether he would burn himself with fire and lose St. Maitreya Province, Earl Lovett didn't care. He was at the farthest back and there wasn't much space bordering the front line. He could definitely escape if he ran.

The province of St. Maitreya can be lost. Anyway, the southern nobles will not benefit at all. The biggest losses will be the king and the northern knights.

If you eat alone, you may choke to death.

The banquet ended smoothly. Facing some nobles who inquired, Marquis Haishan easily dealt with them.

When Earl Lovett returned home, he was surprised to learn that his brother was back.

In the study, Baron Bert, who had finished washing and changed into decent clothes, was already waiting.

Both of them have the surname Lovett, but the younger brother Tamir is only a court baron, and it is really difficult to get opportunities in the south.

This time when he came to the Northland, he was even one step ahead of Earl Rowett.

However, after learning about the partition agreement between the Northland nobles and the Marquis of Hassan, he rushed to the Holy Cross Kingdom, and now he is finally back.

Earl Lovett saw his younger brother. Although he had changed his clothes, there were a few wrinkles on his face, and his tired look was hard to hide.

It was too hard to travel back and forth in a short period of time, even having to compete with some people in the Holy Cross Kingdom.

But the results of the hard work are worth it.

"Brother, I have contacted the Holy Cross Kingdom's commander after this spring ploughing...Grand Duke of Holy Light Sebastian Bruno Fernandez."

"It seems that he is really good to his brother, since he gave the opportunity to Grand Duke Fernandez." Count Lovett was very surprised.

Grand Duke Fernandez is just a court title. Although King Bruno found many excuses to confer titles on his brother, he still cannot reach the dignity of a duke.

Of course, the king of Locke Kingdom never cares about the dignity of a duke, and several royal children live in a tight situation.

But although he is a duke, does Grand Duke Fernandez have the strength to do so?

Count Lovett smiled quickly. He didn't care whether he had the strength or not, as long as he agreed to his conditions.

It would be best if he died together with Derek and those northern barbarians, and he could still get some benefits.

His younger brother, Baron Tamir, also envied the other party for having a good brother.

"I promised the other party that I would provide the location of the granary. Archduke Fernandez agreed to launch an attack from the Northern Knights...especially the territory of Viscount Derek."

This is the most important thing. As long as we can weaken the power of the Northern Knights with the help of the Holy Cross, everything is worth it.

As for the granary, Marquis Hussein also controls a part of the food supply. Is it difficult to even give up a part of it?

You said allies, did Marquis Hussein agree? He clearly said that he would pretend that he had heard nothing today.

"Nothing can't be sold," Count Lovett smiled very proudly.
