Rise In Calradia

"Your Excellency Elaine, the king will not wait for your answer all the time. Now swearing allegiance to him is your most correct choice."

In Pegunde's governing hall, a knight from Palavin was waiting impatiently for Eleon's reply. He was sent by His Majesty King Harous to persuade the Knight of Eleon, who was entrusted by Byron to the important task, and currently controls the entire Pegund and Serendil region to loyal to the king.

He thought that this task was simple at first. After all, everyone said that Von Byron had died in battle, and the king held a funeral for him. This Vekya was very eager for power, and how could the chance of climbing up again be let go? It should be a very simple thing for him to change the object of the oath. What's more, the king also hinted that he could make him a baron, and he was more qualified to be a vassal of the king than Byron, a commoner of a Vecya nobleman.

But the truth is far from as simple as he thought. This matter was dragged on by Eleon for at least a week, and every time I saw him, he had different reasons for prevarication. This matter has not been confirmed until today, and he is naturally annoying. Although the environment of Rodok is not bad for him, he still wants to return to Paravin as soon as possible to live with his wife and children. He has served the king for two months this year, which is far beyond the normal requirements. The king promised him that he would go home and rest with a large bounty after Eleon took the oath. He didn't want to waste time here. .

"It's a pity, sir, I still can't give you a definite answer today." Alien sitting on the lord's bench sighed, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's not that I want to delay you on purpose. It’s just that there are too many opposing voices in Baron Byron’s territory. I need to take time to calm it down."

The knight frowned, he was tired of this excuse. He turned and left, leaving a sentence before leaving: "I hope you will make a decision quickly, the king will be impatient."

Eleon is also very helpless. Of course he has ambitions and aspires to become a noble lord with his own territory, just like his father. But things are far from being as simple as outsiders have seen, and Elaine himself is in an awkward position.

Outside of the territory, he knew that the king was drawing him to plot Byron’s fief and property, and ordered him to disband the standing army that Byron had painstakingly managed. If he accepted the king’s terms, his life would end here. King Harrods and his heirs could not trust him. His ambition and desire for rights could not be satisfied, and he might even be entrapped by them just like Byron. Therefore, swearing allegiance to the king is not entirely in line with his personal personality. Benefit.

In the territory, he was also unhappy. Byron entrusted the fief to him but did not give him full control. Bandak controlled the recruits of Pegunde, and the Rhodok recruits obeyed his command. James has gained a good reputation among the people, and all villages and towns regard him as a guest of honor. To consolidate his rights, he needs his support. Desaivi thanked Byron for helping her get revenge and pardoned their crimes, and the adapted robbers she led followed him to be loyal to Byron. Kress didn’t have a holiday with him, but this little girl who is hidden in the shadows will jump out and stab you more than willing to work for Byron, because Byron does not discriminate against her like other nobles. Of origin. These people have a lot of power in the territory, and except for Kress, they clearly told him that they don’t think that Byron died like this. After all, this fact is too strange to let him not in a short time Other thoughts.

The only objects Eleon can fight for are the old engineer Yatiman and the rogue aristocrat Rolf. The former is busy with work and has not been in contact with Byron for a long time, and the latter is profitable but absolutely not worthy of belief. As a decent noble knight, Eleon didn't want to cooperate with a gangster like Rolf. Not only did he lose his status, but from a practical point of view, it was also easy to suffer. In that case, only Yatiman was the only one who could support him, but although this old engineer could build excellent siege equipment, he couldn't summon an army.

Of course Eleon also has his own troops and cronies. They are aristocratic children from Vijay and mercenaries willing to follow him. They are elite but insufficient in number. The king asked him to disband other troops besides his deployment. This is true. If he can’t do it, if the other heroes unite, he can’t hold it. Even if they join Rolf together, the chances of winning are not great. Moreover, both of them understand that if Alain takes the position of lord, Rolf’s troops. Surely he can't keep it, so he can agree to an alliance with himself without pitting his discipline is very small.

So he has been doing the ideological work of several other people during this time, persuading them to agree to follow his allegiance to the king, and secretly promised them wealth and the position of consul, but with little success. Especially now that Byron is still alive, Fatis has survived the war, and rumors that they are returning south together are also spreading. Alain doesn’t know where it came from, but Cres’s people are among them. It must have been a push, otherwise he wouldn't even be thinking about the possibility of Byron surviving. More importantly, the huge wealth looted from Veluga did not know where it was hidden. It was a huge sum of money~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even for the king. Elaine hopes to get the money first, so he doesn't have the power of the UN King to suppress the other people, lest he really can't find the money after tearing his skin.

The result is one come and go, and Eleon's position is not as stable as when Byron was on the move.

Elaine is not without means, but under the current circumstances, his instinct tells himself not to choose sides right away, not only because of the complexity of the current situation, but also in thinking that he found that King Haraus and Prince Harau are against the South. The control is not as good as Byron. Then, if handled properly, he can negotiate with the royal family based on the favorable conditions at hand, and strive for greater benefits.

In case... if Byron does come back, then he is not a betrayal. Byron originally meant that when he left him, and the king would naturally understand his thoughts. He also considered going to Veluga to meet Prince Harau. The prince’s situation in Veluga was similar to when he first arrived. He had to say that he really inherited the shortcomings of King Haraus, and his arrogance made a lot of it. Everyone saw him not pleasing to the eye. If anyone came to pay a visit at this time, the prince would be very happy.

Elaine was still sitting in the chair thinking, and at this time there was a noise outside the door...
