Chapter 110 109. Count Stesa

Count Princelav Stesa.

How should we evaluate this noble gentleman?

He is the king of Temeria and Foltest's cousin.

Having good looks brought by good bloodline.

However, among the reasons why 99% of the women in Temeria wanted to climb into his bed and become pregnant with his child, Face accounted for less than 1% of the reasons.

Face is not as good as power and money.

Far from comparable.

In these two aspects, the Earl is unparalleled in the limelight.

He is related to Foltest by blood, but it's not that 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 imperialists" advocated by King Foltest.

Maybe its because of my travel experience when I was young, or maybe its because of the various books I brought back from the south during my travels.

In short, whenever the count talked about the strange empire in the south of the continent, it was as if he was talking about his long-awaited hometown.

Advanced system, national invention and creativity, peoples good moral character and huge potential are all words he often mentions.

Although according to insiders, his trip to the south lasted only half a year.

But for political leanings, let alone half a year, even if you have not 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 of little use.

However, in recent times, the Nilfgaardian Empire has become stronger in international trade and economy, as well as the military power of annexing the coastal country-Ebin into a province.

The number of merchants, manor owners and officials who are friendly to the Nilfgaard Empire is naturally becoming larger and larger.

So far, it has become a force that cannot be underestimated in Temeria.

To what extent should it not be ignored?

At least our Temerian royal advisor, 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 one playing 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 Arethusa, Lann.

Back in the tavern of Dark Water, Lann held a glass of Kaedwen stout and communicated with Triss through the cone-shaped crystal.

Although they have only met for a short time, Triss is already 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 amount of influence our adversaries have, and the control they have over intelligence. But if all of this happens to Prince Lavender, then what will happen to me and Keira had no doubts about our predicament."

Lan En, the opponents power is very strong!

Triss solemnly emphasized again.

"He is the kind of strong man who can even command the city defense army in Vizima as long as the direction of mobilization is not the palace, but he is just scolded by the king afterwards! Can you understand?!"

"Since ancient times, kings have been the most suspicious and ruthless human beings! 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 , once the opponent is really touched, the impact on Temeria will be absolutely unbearable!"

Triss tried hard to explain to Lan that the person they had involved was by no means someone who could be easily convicted.

Even if Foltest comes back from playing at this moment and sits on the chair in Vizima Palace again, he can't!

The law is powerless in the face of this level of power.

The guillotine cut off by the law will most likely not fall on these people.

Unlike Triss's anxious, panic-stricken mood, Lann's tone was just like the Kaedwen stout in his hand.

It is the cold calm that comes out of the basement. So, you suggest I save myself and watch that **** continue his disgusting business?

. Trisss words were paused for a long time before she lowered her voice.

"Even a king has a lot of things he can't do, Lan."

Even the Academy of Arethusa was founded on the land of Temeria.

No one in this world can live as he pleases and see the light of day.

I understand. Lan En calmly took a sip of the cold dark beer.

You and Keira, please stay in the palace during this period.

"What?" Triss didn't react at first, but when she thought about it clearly, she was shocked.

Lan En, what do you want to do!?

Keep doing my job, collecting debts for Margarita and Aretuza. After all, I collected the money, didnt I?

"Don't be kidding me! No normal person would do a job that requires death for money! No!"

Thats why Im happy.

"What did you say?"

Triss couldnt believe her ears.

Until Lan En repeated it again in an understatement.

"I'm happy. When I cut off the earl's head, I think I will feel particularly happy. I feel relaxed. 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 do it for money, assassins who do it for reputation, and even assassins who have to work for the safety of their families.

But I have never seen an assassin who just wants to make himself comfortable and is going to die!

Yes, wanting to kill Count Stetha was an act that Triss defined as "sending death".

"That's it, Triss. I feel very happy to be in contact with you these days. My actions will not involve you and Keira, and have nothing to do with Aretuza. To be honest, I originally did this Thats not what Im here for. Is this considered a return to true nature now? 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 table.

Huh, feel good!

Lan En started in Velen and saw the difficulty of survival there, although he also saw the bad folk customs and rampant discrimination there.

But he still gained the friendship of a village and met many kind-hearted families there.

He also witnessed the innocent and helpless children in the camp. He saved most of them, but a small number were still taken away.

Now, because the enemy is strong, let him turn back?

Tell the truth.

no way.

I dont know whether its because Lan En is this kind of person, or its the influence of his genetic seeds. Anyway, among the mixed emotions of anger, fearlessness, determination, etc., there is also a high-spirited emotion bursting out.

He was very excited.

He began to feel aroused.

Man, whats the fastest way from here to Vizima?

Standing up from his seat, he handed back the wine glass and popped out a silver coin. Lan En greeted the bartender.

Half a day is enough by boat.

Really? Its really fast. The thin lips under the hood curved with satisfaction.
