Count Princelav Stesa.
How should we evaluate this noble gentleman?
He is the king of Temeria and the cousin of Foltest.
Has a handsome appearance brought by a good blood relationship.
However, among the reasons why 99% of the women in Temeria want to climb into his bed and become pregnant with his child, less than 1% of them are true.
Face is not as good as power and money.
Far inferior.
In these two aspects, the Earl is unparalleled in the limelight.
This is related to his blood relationship with Foltest, but it is not big.
An open secret within the king's administration is that Count Stetha is a vocal pro-Nilfgaardian representative.
In this regard, they are incompatible with the "warning southern imperial faction" advocated by King Foltest.
Maybe it’s because of my travel experience when I was young, or maybe it’s because of the various books I brought back from the south during my travels.
In short, whenever the earl talks about the strange empire in the south of the continent, it seems like he is talking about his long-lost hometown.
"Advanced system", "national invention and creativity", "people's good moral character" and "huge potential" are all words he often mentions.
Although according to insiders, his trip to the south only lasted for half a year.
But for political leanings, let alone half a year, even if you have never been there for a day, as long as you say the above words, it is enough to serve as a banner.
It is impossible for everyone in a country to be of the same mind.
Foltest gathered a group of people who recognized him.
Then Count Stesa's repeated remarks will naturally gather people in the country who are friendly to Nilfgaard.
If it were more than ten years ago, this would naturally be useless.
However, in recent times, the Nilfgaardian Empire has become stronger in international trade and economy, and has gained military power by annexing the coastal country of Ebin into a province.
The number of merchants, manor owners and officials who are friendly to the Nilfgaard Empire is naturally growing in size.
So far, it has become a force that cannot be underestimated in Temeria.
To what extent it cannot be ignored
At least our Temerian royal adviser, the powerful Triss. After hearing this name, I took a deep breath and was speechless for a long time.
She was supposed to be the person playing with power in this country, but in front of this name, she didn't act like a player, but like a chess piece.
“Go back to Aretuosa for a while, Lan En.”
Back in the tavern of Darkwater, Lan En held a glass of Kaedwen stout. Communicate with Triss through the cone crystal.
Although they have not met for a long time, Tris has alreadyHe was very aware of Lan En's character and determination.
But even so, in her hesitant words, she still advised Lan En to let go.
"Keira and I are still frightened by the investigation, the enormous influence shown by the adversary, and the control of intelligence. But what if all this happened in Princelavstad With Sa, Keira and I no longer have any doubts about the predicament we are facing."
"Lan En, the other party is very powerful"
Terri. Si solemnly emphasized again.
"Can you understand the kind of strong man who can even command the city defense army in Vizima as long as he mobilizes in a direction other than the palace, and is only scolded by the king afterwards?"
"Since ancient times, the king has been the most suspicious and ruthless human being. Facing a cousin who can exert influence on the city defense army, Foltest just reprimanded him not because he cared about family ties but because he knew that if it really happened, If you touch the other party, the impact on Temeria will be absolutely unbearable."
Triss tried hard to explain to Lan En that the person they involved was by no means someone who could be easily convicted. Guy.
Even if Foltest comes back from playing at this moment and sits on the chair in Vizima Palace again, he will not be able to face this level of power
, the law is powerless.
There is a high probability that the guillotine cut off by the law will not fall on these people.
But unlike Triss's anxious, panic-stricken mood, Lan's tone was just like the Kaedweni stout in his hand.
It is like the cold calm brought out from the basement.
"So, you suggest that I save myself and watch that bastard continue his business that makes me want to vomit"
""Triss's words stopped. , after a long time, he lowered his voice and said.
"Even as a king, there are many things that cannot be done, Lan."
"Even the Academy of Arethusa was founded on the land of Temeria "
"No one in this world can live as he pleases."
"I understand" Lan En calmly took a sip of cold dark beer.
"You and Keira, just stay in the palace during this time."
"What?" Triss didn't react at first, but then waited for her to think clearly, Suddenly he was shocked.
"Lan, what do you want to do?"
"Continue to do my job and collect debts for Margarita and Aretusa. After all, I collected the money, didn't I?"
"Don't be kidding. No normal person would do a job that would kill him for money."
"That makes me happy."
"You What to say?"
Triss couldn't believe her ears.
Until Lan En repeated it again in an understatement.
"I'm happy. When I put thatWhen an earl's head is cut off, I think I will feel particularly happy. Feel good. It's like drinking a glass of ice-cold rye vodka on a hot day. "
"You, you"
Triss was at a loss under these words.
She has seen assassins who are for money, and she has seen assassins who are for money. Assassins with great reputations have even seen assassins who have to work for the safety of their families.
But I have never seen an assassin who is willing to die just to make himself comfortable.
Yes, wanting to kill Count Stetha is defined by Triss as "sending death"
"That's it, Triss. I feel very happy contacting you these days. My actions will not involve you and Keira, nor will they have anything to do with Aretuza. To be honest, this is not what I did in the first place. Now it’s time to return to true nature, haha. ”
After finishing speaking, Lan En’s hand left the cone-shaped crystal.
He drank the cold beer in his hand in one gulp, and the large wooden wine glass clanged on the ground. On the table.
"Breaking comfortable"
Lan En saw the difficulty of survival there, although he also saw the bad customs and discrimination there.
But he still gained the friendship of a village and met many kind-hearted families.
He also witnessed the innocent and helpless people in the camp. He saved most of the children, but a small part was still taken away.
Now, let him turn back because of the strength of the enemy.
Tell the truth.
No way.
I don’t know if it’s because Lan En is such a person, or it’s the influence of the gene seed. Anyway, there is a kind of high-spiritedness among the mixed emotions of anger, fearlessness, and determination. Emotions are bursting out
He is very excited
He is starting to feel excited
"Man, how long is the fastest time from here to Vizima?"
Getting up from his seat, handing back the wine glass and popping out a silver coin, Lan En greeted the bartender.
“It’s only half a day by boat. ”
“Really, it’s really fast.” "The slender lips under the hood curved with satisfaction.
Now, I have your name, Lord Earl
The second round of you revealing and hiding. , let’s play and see.
