The Unemployed Demon Lord

Hearing the Thorn Knight's warning, the expressions of the Welsh nobles changed greatly in fright, and they all began to spit at the dead Slater, expressing their position——

"Slater, a weakling, actually wants to surrender to the demons? It's a shame for us Wales to be able to say such a stupid idea!"

"I've seen it for a long time. The kingdom is in danger, but he doesn't want to do anything. He has betrayed the kingdom. I remember that he has two sons. I suggest hanging them together!"

Surrender will only fuel the arrogance of the demons, we should gamble everything and fight the demons to the end! "

Duke Rose saw the nobles begin to show their loyalty, so he sneered and said, "Since you are all willing to live and die with the kingdom, then hand over the army to me for unified dispatch. Only by uniting all forces can it be possible to resist the army of demons. opinion?"

In order to prevent nobles like Slater from being stabbed at critical moments, the Duke of Rose decided to evacuate the nobles present and concentrate all their troops on himself.

The aristocrats who have lost their private army are probably better than ordinary people, even if they are bought by Mammon, it is difficult to cause any disturbances.

"If you have no comments, please go back, everyone."

How dare these nobles have any opinions?Those who have objections have their heads chopped off just now, why don't they obediently donate their property to keep them safe?

After many Welsh nobles signed the agreement with the Duke of Rose, they left the meeting room as if they were running away.

The Duke of Rose breathed a sigh of relief, and came to Elizabeth and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty was startled, in order to make the evil-minded people calm down, I had to take a rude approach." "You don't have to blame yourself, I understand. "Elizabeth helped the Duke of Rose up, "The Rose family is the hero who established the kingdom. I am very pleased that you can still maintain your loyalty in times of crisis." If Wales falls, it will mean the end of my life."

In the evening, the conference room was filled with the smell of blood. Duke Qiangwei stayed here for a long time, watching the sunset outside the window, the setting sun was like blood.

Cecilia and Kyle were summoned by their father, and they heard that there was something important to explain, so they hurried here.

Quietly opening the door, Cecilia smelled a strange smell and walked into the exaggerated meeting room with a nervous mood.

Kyle is a knight who often fights. The first moment he smelled blood, he became vigilant and looked around. Except for the back of Duke Rose, there was nothing unusual.

"Father, why did you call me here?"

Cecilia cautiously approached the Duke of Rose, instinctively fearful of the father in her heart, recalling the severe beatings and scolding when she was a child, and now her legs would become weak.

When she stepped on something sticky, she looked down, but her whole body was frozen in place. The headless corpse of the nobleman exuded a subtle smell, and the flowing blood had solidified, making her step on it sticky.

Cecilia wanted to scream subconsciously, but she quickly covered her mouth. Her father hated weak people the most, and she didn't want to lose her composure in front of her father.

"It's a minute late." The majestic figure of Duke Rose turned around, looking at Cecilia with cold eyes.

"I'm very sorry, father." Cecilia didn't dare to look at the corpse on the ground, resisting the urge to vomit.

Duke Rose took a deep breath and ordered, "Kyle, deal with the corpse, and send someone to confiscate all the property of the Slater family tonight."

"I obey." Kyle bowed slightly, and called two guards outside to carry away the noble's headless body.

In Nuo Da's conference room, only father and daughter were left, without any warmth from family, on the contrary, the atmosphere was extremely cold...

Chapter 48: Gregory's Embarrassment

The father and daughter were silent for a long time in the conference room, not knowing what to say?

Finally, Duke Rose broke the silence, "How old are you this year?"

"I'm 21..." Cecilia lowered her head, a little disappointed in her heart. Her father didn't even remember her own age.

"21? So you are already an adult. Seeing your usual stupid behavior, I always thought you were not a child." Duke Rose's tone was very flat.

"Hey" Cecilia secretly clenched her fists. She is no longer a child. It has been several years since the coming-of-age ceremony, and I remember that my father never came to participate.

"Compared to your older brothers and sisters, you are such a failure. You have achieved nothing until now. You are obviously a member of the family but you don't want to make progress. When you encounter difficulties, you want to ask for help. You never want to make yourself better. After all When will you be able to learn to be independent?" Duke Rose reprimanded mercilessly.

"I" Cecilia was full of anger, but she didn't dare to explode in front of her father. She could only endure it silently. She felt that her father never saw her when she was working hard, and it was unfair to pick on her own minor faults and reprimand her.

"Sigh..." Duke Qiangwei took a breath, with a melancholy expression on his face, as if he couldn't say a lot, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, "I had a little expectation for you, but you let me down very much."

"Huh?" Cecilia raised her head in surprise, wondering if she heard it wrong?My father never praised me since I was a child, and I was reprimanded a lot. What can I expect from myself?

"The situation this time is very dangerous. The fate of the kingdom is at stake. Wales has become fat in the eyes of the devil. I will personally lead the troops to hell to invade." Duke Rose tapped the white paper on the table with his fingers and said seriously , "This is the will, I have already written it, if I unfortunately die for the country, you will inherit my title and become the new Lord of Wales, I have no requirements for you, I only hope that you can save the lives of your people First and foremost, after the fall of Wales, you will lead them to live on."

"!!?" Cecilia was dumbfounded. She didn't expect her father to ask her to talk about her legacy?Moreover, he had always looked down on his father, yet he would choose himself to be the heir to the title!It stands to reason that it is definitely not my turn, and I should choose better brothers and sisters.

No matter how strong the Duke of Rose was, he knew very well the fact that Wales was on the verge of falling.

Writing the will in advance is not to show that he is ready to sacrifice, but to prevent Wales from falling into chaos after his death, pass the title to his youngest daughter, and avoid unnecessary disputes.

"Although your brothers and sisters are excellent, they are mercenary and lack benevolence. They are not suitable to be lords who manage one side. Their taking over of Wales will only aggravate the poverty and suffering of the common people at the bottom, and sooner or later they will cause chaos in the territory."

"Not that" Cecilia was already excited

Speechless, inheriting the title and becoming the youngest duchess is her dream. She has long been displeased with her arrogant father, and wants to make him look at her with admiration. The happiness came too suddenly, which made her a little unbelievable.

The Duke of Rose came to Cecilia's side, stretched out his hand to show a little doting, and kept silent on his daughter's hair.

"I've been scolding you all this time, so you must hate me? I just..."

Duke Rose hesitated to speak, and the hand that wanted to touch his daughter did not come down for a long time. Any words to express "love" would never come out of this man's mouth until his death.

Mr. Duke lowered his arms silently, his eyes became serious and indifferent again, and he left the meeting room without saying a word to Cecilia.

Silence returned to the meeting room, Cecilia stood there in a daze for a long time, picked up the "legacy" on the table, her mood became rather complicated...

She had fantasized about countless possibilities of getting the right to inherit the title, but she never thought that it would be done in this way.

The opportunity she dreamed of was right in front of her eyes, but Cecilia suddenly felt that this thing was no longer attractive to her, and it felt like being given alms. If possible, she didn't want this will to take effect——

If Master Merlin is still in Wales, all problems can be easily resolved, right?
