69 Separate Plans

37 Rose Street, the house that Dupont, the Marquis of Blackstone, had bought in Rose City.

As a noble of the Duke of Rose’s territory, the Marquis of Blackstone would come to this house to stay for a short period of time every year to show his loyalty to the Duke.

At this moment, more than a dozen nobles were sitting in a circle in the main hall of the house.

The person sitting at the head of the table was Dupont himself, the Marquis of Blackstone. On his left was Lena’s sister, Allie, who was also one of the heirs in the arena battle.

Compared to Lena’s confidence and vigor, Allie exuded a special sharp businessman demeanor.

Her face was above average with some freckles.

She sat next to the Marquis and leaned her body against the Marquis’ arm, pretending to look at Marquis Dupont with admiration.

She had been doing business with her mother since she was a child, so she knew that the possibility of winning the arena battle was very small. Her profit-seeking nature told her that she had to change her target in time.

Even if she could not become a Duke, being a Marchioness was not a bad idea. At least she could get some benefits.

Dupont looked at everyone and said, “The situation is not good now. We had 21 nobles at the last gathering, but only 14 are left now.

“Six of the nobles were bewitched by the Marquis of the Dolphin and sided with Gray.”

The nobles were all smart people. They had already felt that it was almost impossible to support Allie to become the Duke this time, so they were all silent.

Dupont sighed and said, “Fortunately, Tagore and Lena are still holding on. We can still be of some use to Gray.

“Let’s stop our losses in time.

“Allie will give up the fight for the position of Duke, and we will join Gray’s camp collectively. Although we won’t get any benefits, we can also ensure that Gray won’t lay a hand on us after he ascends to the position of Duke!”

When Dupont finished speaking, the underground responded.

“I agree!”

“I agree!”

Everyone raised their hands and agreed to join Gray’s camp.

From the beginning to the end, no one asked Allie’s opinion. Allie had the self-awareness of a puppet. Although she was a little unwilling, she remained silent and continued to look at Marquis Dupont affectionately.

She did not know that Marquis Dupont was already thinking about how to hand her over to Gray in exchange for his trust.

Count Tagore’s residence, in the study.

Figo said to his father, Tagore, as he hurried in.

“Father, Lord Hawk has settled down. I followed your instructions and tried to get close to him, but he was extremely arrogant and ignored me.”

As the son of the Count, Figo had a distinguished status in Rose City. He had never been looked down upon like this. Although his father had repeatedly warned him, he still felt resentful.

Tagore understood his son’s thoughts and explained.

“This concerns the survival and future of the family. If you can’t even bear this little grievance, how can you inherit the position of the family head?”

Figo immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, but he still had doubts in his heart.

“Father, what’s the background of Lord Hawk? Why do we have to serve him so humbly?”

Tagore stood up and stared at the painting of the tiger descending the mountain for a long time before he said.

“Ever since Lena rejected our plan, it’s impossible for us to obtain the title of Duke by taking the conventional route. If Lena fails to win the title, Gray will definitely purge our family after he takes over.

“I’ve already thought of all kinds of countermeasures for the situation before the dukedom. Now that we’ve come to this point, we can only contact the main family.”

Figo was shocked, and his voice trembled.

“You mean, Lord Hawk, he… He is a member of the royal family of the Ole Empire?”

“That’s right. He’s King Acker’s younger brother, born from the same mother. He was chosen to be the next swordsman of the royal family. He’s been training in secret, and very few people know his identity.

“Hawk is extremely talented in cultivation. Although he’s the same age as you, his strength has already reached the peak of a Level 7 bloodline, and his professional level has reached Level 35.

“He’s a cultivation fanatic and doesn’t know how to treat people. He’s not deliberately looking down on you, so you must not be resentful.

“Hawk will be in charge of defeating Alesia, and you will defeat Val. This way, we can win in the arena.”

Figo was extremely excited when he heard his father’s plan. His face flushed as he spoke happily.

“This way, the position of the Duke of Rose will still be Lena’s. We’ll think of a way to force Lena to submit and secretly scheme to seize the Rose City territory!”

Seeing his eldest son so stupid, Tagore was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He suddenly felt that this account was really wasted. Maybe he should raise his 7-year-old son well.

With this thought in mind, Tagore did not curse. He said calmly.

“The Ole Empire’s main family is not doing charity, so they won’t help us for no reason. After the arena battle, we will gradually take over Lena’s power and control all of Rose City territory’s military power.

“After that, we will ally with the Ole Empire and take down the Rose City territory together, integrating the Rose City territory into the Ole Empire’s territory.

“All of our people will return to the main family and restore our glorious status as the royal family of the Ole Empire. His Majesty Acker promised me that after we become members of the royal family, the Rose City territory will be our fief.

“As long as the plan succeeds, we will no longer be Duke Alice’s henchmen.

“Restoring the glory of the royal family was the deepest obsession in his grandfather’s heart, and the common wish of all the clansmen.

“We’ll always be outsiders in the Brad Empire, and we can only be servants.

“Success or failure, honor or disgrace, all depends on this fight!”

Tagore seemed to have forgotten that if Duke Jason had not taken him in, his grandfather would have been dead, and he would not have been born in this world.

He should have been grateful for his status as a retainer, but it had become a so-called humiliation.

Figo finally came to his senses and understood his father’s plan.

He pointed out a key problem.

“Between the Rose City territory and the Ole Empire, there is Duohuang City and the Marquis of the Dolphin’s territory. How can the Ole Empire support us?

“If we want to rebel, without the Ole Empire’s military assistance, it will be very difficult for us to succeed.”

Tagore laughed. “I can only say that God is helping us. The chaotic Duohuang has been unified by Ning Shi, the Lord of the extreme wilderness!

“His Majesty Acker was ready to make Ning Shi a Marquis of Duohuang.

“At that time, we and Duohuang will attack from both sides, and the Marquis of the Dolphin won’t be able to fight back at all.

“In this way, the Ole Empire and us will be on the same side. Even if the Brad Empire wants to start a war, we won’t be afraid.”

“Oh, Father, you’re so good at calculating!” Figo looked excited, then said, “After we take down Rose City territory, please spare Lena’s life, I think…”

The knocking on the door interrupted Figo.

“Come in!”

At Tagore’s order, the butler outside the door came in.

“Master, Miss Lena is looking for you, saying that she wants to discuss the matter of the external aid selection. This old servant has already arranged for her to have tea in the main hall.”

Tagore nodded. She came just in time.

“Figo, go and invite Lord Hawk to the main hall for a meeting.”

After giving his instructions, Tagore followed the butler to the main hall.

Ning Shi sat on the right side of Lena and saw Tagore come in with the butler.

Unexpectedly, Tagore’s figure was not tall or strong. On the contrary, he was a little thin.

He was dressed in noble attire and did not look like a general in charge of an army. He looked more like a poet.

Seeing Ning Shi beside Lena, Tagore was stunned for a moment. Lena didn’t even bring a guard with her every time she came. This time, not only did she bring a man, but she also made him sit beside her.

“Lena, who is this person beside you?” Tagore asked directly.

“He’s Zhang San,” Lena stood up and introduced him, “He’s my lover.”

Before he came, Ning Shi had learned about the Tagore family’s origin and conspiracy from Lena. In his heart, the Tagore family had already been included in the list of experience bags by Ning Shi.

Since he was an enemy, there was no need to be silly enough to tell the other party his true background, so he just thought of an alias.

Without waiting for Tagore to speak, Lena went straight to the point.

“Count Tagore, I’m here to inform you that my lover, Zhang San, will fight for me in the arena battle. There’s only one spot left. You can choose to send someone to participate or not to participate. It doesn’t matter.”

Lena believed in Ning Shi. Since he had the confidence to win, and she herself had the confidence to defeat Gray, then the outcome of the battle in the arena had been decided.

They could even forfeit the last spot.

She had only come to inform him, not to discuss.

In Lena’s opinion, she had the noble blood of the Duke, and Tagore and the others were just family servants, so there was no need to be too polite.

From this, one could see the difference between Lena and her sister Allie.
