The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 188's

Assume the governor is two years from now? Who knows what will happen in two years? How did Keane survive two years under Madame Wade?

“I think I already have the necessary capabilities. "Keane said firmly.

Madame Wade's face turned a little more serious. "Keane, relax. You're still a kid. The governor of the prefecture city of Cerre is responsible for hundreds of thousands of citizens. Right now, you are unable to shoulder this heavy responsibility. ”

At this moment, Jenne, who was next to Keane, spoke. “Aibi, imperial law makes no requirements with regard to a person who must be of adult age before taking up the post of governor. ”

Madame Wade looked at Jenne.

Not backing down a bit, Jenne stared back at Madame Wade. The two women of different ages were just staring at each other.

"really. "Mrs Wade laughed. “The imperial law does not openly state that one must be of age before holding the post of governor of the city. But…"

Madame Wade looked rather sad. "Not so long ago, after your father died, when the clan found out about this news, they originally planned to let your elder brother become governor. But what a pity, my poor son … "

“After they learned that Keane was only fourteen years old, the clan ordered that as the prefectural city Cerre was one of the important prefectural cities in the Northwest Administrative Province, the, and located very close to the provincial capital of Basil [Ba'si'er], the management of Cerre is an important issue. The clan ordered that Keane should be of age before taking over the governorship. ”

"Klans?"

Jenne and Keane were both shocked.

Hearing this command from the 'clan', Jenne and Keane are caught off guard. As the collateral descendants of the Jacques clan [Jia'ke'si], Jenne and Keane knew what it meant for the clan to issue orders.

"Auntie, did the clan really issue such an edict?" Jenne looked at Madame Wade.

Madame Wade frowned as she looked at Jenne. "Jenne. Do you think I would dare to make a false decision on behalf of the clan? Mrs. Before Keane can serve as governor, all the affairs in the prefecture city I have to manage. ”

“As a future governor, I have the authority to choose my own servants. "Keane shouted unhappily.

Madame Wade stared coldly at Keane.

Right at this moment, Linley, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke. “Mrs Wade. The clan you spoke of did not issue an order for you specifically to become a city servant on behalf of the governor, right?

Madame Wade was stunned.

No matter how brave he was, he did not dare to make an order from the clan.

Jenne and Keane were both members of the Jacques clan with blood, while the Jacques clan itself was one of the most powerful and flourishing clans within the O'Brien Empire.

The entire Administrative Province of the Northwest, one of the seven great provinces of the O'Brien Empire, was under the management and control of the Jacques clan.

Jenne and Keane's father, Wade Jacques, was only a collateral descendant of the Jacques clan, not a linear descendant. If not for the support of the Jacques clan, how could a coward like Wade Jacques take the position of city governor?

But now, Wade is dead.

In the eyes of the Jacques clan, the prefectural city of Cerre naturally had to remain in the custody and management of the Jacques clan.

Although Madame Wade married Wade Jacques, however, she herself did not carry Jacques' blood. It was unlikely that the Jacques clan would allow Madame Wade to take the Steward position from the city of Cerre.

"Hmph, if not for the old relics in the clan ..." Mistress Wade in a heart full of hatred.

No matter how formidable Madam Wade was, there was no way she could compete with the clan. One word of them could turn him, a noble lady, into a beggar.

“I'm not due yet, but my brother is already. I will send people to the provincial capital of Basil. I believe that the elders of the clan will let my sister become the steward of the city, rather than you! "

Keane said forcefully.

There was no way the feud between Jenne, Keane, and Madame Wade could be resolved.

In just a few words, it was completely open for everyone to see this dinner. After all, Keane and Jenne's mother is hunted to death by Mrs Wade. Jenne and Keane, too, have been the victims of repeated assassination attempts at the behest of Madame Wade on this trip.

"Good . Fine . If you have the ability to do so, ask the clan. I really wanted to see for myself if the clan would hand over the stewardship of the prefectural city of Cerre to an eighteen-year-old girl! "Madame Wade raised his chin, speaking arrogantly.

Keane's face was also filled with stubbornness.

A young man at the age of fourteen was at his most rebellious. The more arrogant Madame Wade was, the more Keane would reply to him. Keane believed that the clan would definitely stand by his side. After all, he was a member of the clan.

After the dinner.

Linley, Jenne, Lambert, and Keane together. After asking a few questions, Linley finally realized how big and powerful the Jacques clan was from Jenne and Keane.

And their father, Wade Jacques, was nothing more than a guarantee descendant and was not part of the power line.

The true ruling branch of the clan had an astonishing amount of power. The entire Northwest Administrative Province was under their control, and moreover, that control was hereditary. The Jacques Clan had been managing the Northwest Administrative Province for about a thousand years.

"The imperial clan of the O'Brien Empire was truly extremely confident, to allow one clan to manage one of the provinces for a thousand years. "Linley sighed in amazement.

The amount of territory controlled by the province was greater than the amount of territory owned by the Kingdom of Fenlai.

Letting a clan manage a province for so long meant allowing the clan to easily accumulate overwhelming power. This was a common reason for the eventual rebellion and an empire collapsing.

But the O'Brien Empire's imperial clan was very confident.

Because ... they had the War God, as well as a large number of powerful warriors from War God College. Moreover, the two most important administrative provinces of the O'Brien Empire, the 'Central Administrative Province' and the 'O'Brien Administrative Province', were both under the control of the imperial clan.

"As long as the God of War was present, not a single clan would dare to rebel. Even if the God of War did not intervene, his disciples that the War God School had recognized for the past thousands of years were now an extraordinarily powerful force. ”

Linley understood.

In the face of absolute strength, those so-called soldiers were nothing but jokes. The army was only used as a show of force for commoners. Only Saint-level fighters can truly determine the fate of a nation.

"Klan Jacques must be very powerful, having managed the Northwest Administrative Province for a thousand years. "Say Linley to himself.

"Hmph, that venomous woman. I refuse to believe that the clan will support him. "Keane said angrily.

Lambert just chuckled. “Young master, don't worry. If the clan tended to support him, he would not act like he did tonight. ”

Indeed .

In the past, Mrs Wade believed that her own son would definitely become the next governor of the city of Cerre.

But he did not expect his son would die this early.

"Holmer, that fool. Three hundred years of life were spent on an idiot. "Cold light glittered in Mrs Wade's eyes. “For three hundred years, Holmer must have amassed quite a fortune. ”

…

Late night . The city of Cerre is very peaceful.

Holmer's residence is located in the eastern district of Cerre. It took up a very vast land, and had many beautiful female servants. Holmer is a very depraved man.

Suddenly, many footsteps could be heard.

The two guards at the gates of the Holmer residence looked suspiciously outwards. Instantly, their faces turned pale. A large number of armored city guards had swarmed around the main gate.

"Open the gate . "A tall, arrogant knight wearing white metal armor and riding a good stallion shouted loudly.

Madame Wade and her two older brothers were also there, smiling as they watched. The Holmer clan had no experts. With his death, his clan had become a piece of fresh meat that anyone could take.

The main gate slowly opened.

"Gentlemen, why did you come here so late at night?" A middle-aged man ran out of partial clothes. He just ran from his bed.

“Mrs Countess. “Suddenly he saw Madam Wade was here, and his heart instantly shook.

Madame Wade said coldly, “Based on our evidence, Holmer is suspected of having attempted to assassinate Keane, the successor to the governor Cerre. All members of the Holmer clan must be arrested, and all clan treasures must be searched and confiscated. ”

Hearing these words, the man's feet could not help but feel soft, and he knelt down.

"No! Lady Countess. "The middle-aged man said hurriedly. "My grandfather was invited by two of your brothers …"

“You dare slander a noble clan? Your crime increases the severity. Kill him . "Mistress Wade's face turned cold.

The leading knight suddenly pushed forward with his spear, attacking like a snake from his nest. With a 'desir' sound, the spear pierced through the middle-aged man's throat.

The eldest sister of Mrs Wade, who put up a brave screen, loudly exclaimed, "Everyone, hurry!"

The city guards immediately charged into the manor like a pack of ravenous wolves and tigers. The thing the city guards liked the most was the search and seizure. Because when they do these activities, they will always be able to secretly take some things for themselves.

But of course, they would not dare to take too much, as many people were present and watching.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?!"

A man and woman dressed hurriedly rushed out, shouting loudly. Several noble guards also raised their weapons, but none of them dared to act.

Because ... they can say that this is the guard of the city.

How did the noble personal guards dare to fight against the city guards?

“Holmer suspected of trying to kill young master Keane. All members of the Holmer clan must be arrested. Those who refuse, kill them. "The knight leader said coldly. When the members of the Holmer clan heard this command, they were all stunned.

In the face of an attack by the ferocious city guards, many people were taken without a fight.

But there were still a number of people who were unwilling to give up, and they turned to flee. The city guard soldiers chased after them, one by one.

"The whore. "The old man with white hair said. “He asked Grandpa to help him. Now that Grandpa is dead, he actually came to loot our house. How venomous. ”

The white-haired old man left the secret room, holding three magicrystal cards.

Holmer is three hundred years old. Of his sons, only two were still alive; the others died of old age. The two remaining sons are the youngest. As for grandchildren ...the eldest grandchild of two hundred, while the youngest is only about thirty.

"Stop!" A city guard suddenly noticed the old man.

The old man threw out a little dust.

"Uhhhh. "The guard's face immediately turned blue. He grabbed his throat, let out some painful sounds, then fainted. He's already dead.

With a sneer, the old man very nimbly ran towards the small alley.

"Wait!" A loud cry from far away.

The old man ignored him, instead increasing his speed.

“Desir. "An arrow pierced through the air at an astonishing speed, howling as it pierced into the old man's back.

The handsome, golden-haired knight lowered his bow. With a cold laugh, he said, “You think you can run? In your dreams . Go look for his body and see if he has a magicrystal card. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

…

Not only was the palace itself filled with people; a huge ring had formed around the manor as well. No member of the Holmer clan could escape. Although some clan members knew how to use poison, they were much inferior to Holmer.

Inside the main hall of Holmer's house.

Madame Wade and her two brothers were staring at the pile of treasure cards and magic.

“This old fart money making ability is quite impressive. "Mistress Wade's big brother's eyes sparkled.

Madam Wade laughed calmly. "You two shouldn't be lusting after a small amount like this. When we take control of the city governor, our wealth will be much greater than this. ”

In the air, way above Holmer's house.

Linley had a pair of transparent wings on his back. He flew through the air, watching scenes of looting and shakedown below in Holmer's house.

“Monya Wade is really cruel and cruel. Holmer this is very unfortunate. "In the air, Linley laughed calmly as he watched all this happen.
