Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - CH 17.2
Adrian didn’t dare to say anymore and asked diligently: “You are back, teacher! Don’t you go out?” Frank ignored him and spoke directly to Hill, “I heard the news this morning, and I flew directly to Border City. Spencer’s family has already put William’s people in.”
Now they were guarding the road leading to the capital.
Hill asked: “Is there any movement from the other Heavenly Knights in the north?”
Frank said: “This is an internal war of the royal family. Unless you join the Rose camp, they will never want to get involve. After all, no matter who wins, the Heavenly Knight still needs to guard the border.”
“So how many people in the Rose camp now?”
“Of the six marquis, only one has a belief in the rose camp. But the counts under them may also participate. This is a war of faith, and the subordinates can’t restrict their lords. No one dared to offend the gods.”
Hill sighed and said: “The only thing William can do is to unify the north as soon as possible.”
Frank said indifferently: “If Edward is smart enough, he will appease Charles first, and then take William down in one fell swoop. But if he dealt with Charles first, the future results would be difficult to say.”
Adrian interjected: “Edward’s family, they like to use their intrigues and tricky, and they are narrow-minded and will never let Charles go.”
Frank said: “That’s not good. Charles has always been the invisible crown prince, no matter how irritable his temperament is, it’s just some high-level professionals and big nobles who don’t care about him. Over the years, many people have defected to him. If it wasn’t for being stabbed in the back by the church, Edward may not be able to win him.”
Hill said with a smile: “Fortunately, my grandfather has escaped earlier, with the church actions many people will be involved. How is that Helen now?”
Adrian replied to him: “The king’s sudden death. The royal family need someone to be responsible, so no one in the palace can escape.Those mistresses who live in the main palace are currently locked in a small castle next to the main palace. Helen is no exception.”
“Edward is a king now, and he didn’t let her out?”
Frank said softly: “Someone reminded Charles that this Helen, who has been the king’s mistress for more than 20 years, is Edward’s wife’s sister.”
Hill understood: This was really clever when Charles remembered to use it.
Frank said: “During this time, I will go to the north every few days to take a look. You two should hurry up and cultivate. If Edward’s side has not sent troops after William unified the north, Hill, you must advance by then!”
Hill quickly replied: “You don’t need to worry, grandpa.”
Adrian interrupted and said, “Hill, teacher, there are several mages who are going to defect. Bonn is very lucky, just at this time to prepare for the promotion. I have asked him to choose a room inside the magic tower, and he will be able to officially take over the apprentice after he is promoted. He can no longer live outside the tower with those apprentices.”
Hill understood and said gratefully: “Thank you for your help, Uncle Adrian!”
Frank interrupted their conversation and warned Hill directly: “You don’t need to worry about this person anymore in the future, just take care of your own business. Even if he failed to advance, I will let him manage the library. If he is good enough, he can stay in the tower, and I will not treat him badly.”
Hill stood up and said, “Thank you grandpa, if he become a mage, I will definitely not worry about him any more in the future.”
Frank cut off the communication directly.
Hill understood that from now on, he really couldn’t ask about Bonn anymore.
