Chapter 24: Pulling the Snake out of the Hole (9)

The Duke of Aquitaine took the kraft paper over.

He repeatedly confirmed the dozens of heralds, but the more carefully he confirmed the more his hands trembled.

"No wonder no one comes to ask for the ransom, and no one comes to negotiate terms... So that's it... So that's it!"

Suddenly, he pushed the general in front of him away and walked out of the room with great strides!

"Duke, where are you going?" the general shouted afterwards.

"Where else can you go!" Duke Aquitaine yelled as he strode, "Go to the prison! Go find the Count of Ile de France!"

Since the Earl of France was arrested in the Palace of Versailles, the Duke of Aquitaine has only seen him in a hurry when Luka brought him over. He really couldn't be interested in the Earl of France. In his understanding, the dwarf was just a nameless consul. He had been in power for so many years and had not played any role except kneeling down to the Tianfang Empire. When Duke Otto was attacked by the Pirate Kingdom, the Northern Alliance of Almany formed a coalition to resist, but he did not do anything; the Island Republic wined over the southern princes and agreed to invade the Qiqiu Empire together, but he did not do anything; even when the attack failed and the Qiqiu Empire counterattacked the Almany Federation, the situation was extremely critical, but he did not do anything.

Not only that, he is also a lunatic, such as the Radish Act that treats radish as currency, the Pants Act that prohibits people from wearing pants, and the Wall Hole Act that requires holes in the wall. Most of his decrees are crazy and have basically never been implemented.

This kind of waste, even if you look at it a few more times, would make the Duke of Aquitaine feel worthless. At that time, he was too lazy to make a sound of sarcasm. He waved his hand and asked someone to take the Earl of France to lock up. He had ordered the soldiers to provide basic living and security for the "consul" in prison, but it was like instructing the swineherd to take good care of a pig that was about to slaughter the celebration during the holidays, with the purpose of just to enable him to live to the day of judgment.

But - is he really such an incompetent waste?

The Duke of Aquitaine thought about this issue seriously for the first time. When he was walking to the prison, cold sweat gradually emerged from his back: he realized that in the past few years, the Count of Ile de France was growing in power. The princes from all over the country were losing their strength in repeated wars, but he was not affected at all. Those troublesome candidates died one by one, and the person who benefited the most was the Count of Ile de France. He even inherited the legacy of Burgundy because of this!

His steps were getting faster and faster, and he didn't even lit a candle, and he pushed open the dungeon door with a "bang". The oncoming darkness completely obscured his vision. His pupils tried to expand to the maximum, but he still couldn't capture even a slight light.

"Duke! Lamp!"

Then the general who arrived rushed over with a lit candlestick, and a little light lit up in the dungeon. But with a sound of "Huh?", the person locked in the dungeon raised his head in confusion. Her eyes were chasing the ray of light, like a moth chasing the candlelight.

“Is it…dip-sum time?”

He asked almost unconsciously.

"Calorin!" The Duke of Aquitaine came to the prison gate a few steps. He grabbed the iron railing with his hands and shouted hard at the Earl of France inside, "What are you planning!"

"What are you planning?"

The man in the dungeon's eyes dulled the words of the Duke of Aquitaine, and it seemed that he still had not recovered from his awakening.

In normal times, when facing such a prisoner, the Duke of Aquitaine would definitely make someone pour a basin of cold water on him, and then press it hard on the skin with a few times to achieve the goal of "quick awakening". But he was already a little confused now. Regardless of the mental state of the person in the dungeon, he shook the railing hard and shouted inside:

"No need to pretend! I know it was your planner!"

"plan?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid! There are not a few powerful nobles in the Federation. And there are only a handful of lords who have a clear purpose and can pull up factions like me! Most of the nobles who have been in Paris for a long time do not have much power, and lords who have a little power come to Paris temporarily. They have power and influence in Paris. They can kidnap dozens of nobles at once, and they are determined to oppose me, only you! Only you! How many people have you arranged in the city and outside the city! What are you planning! Now, do you still want to turn defeat into victory? Let me tell you that your life and death are completely in my hands! If you force me to be too anxious, I will kill you on the spot!"

"Um?"

Even though the Duke of Aquitaine was already shouting at the top of his lungs, the man in the dungeon was still just looking at the Duke of Aquitaine in a daze.

The Duke of Aquitaine's fire became even bigger.

"Open the prison door!" he shouted, "I want to teach this guy a lesson myself!"

The iron lock opened with a "click".

The chain landed on the ground with a "clang".

The Duke of Aquitaine walked to the man a few steps, grabbed him without saying a word, and threw him towards the wall with a swing of his hand!

There was a dull sound from the wall.

"Um?"

The Duke of Aquitaine looked at his hands and felt something was wrong. Although the Count of Ile-de-France was a short man, he was also a veteran who had been trained, went to the battlefield, and fought wars. His body should be very important. But the person in the cell was light and light, just like a child who had not grown up.

He lowered his head and looked at the man who was curled up in pain because of the impact just now. His condition became worse because of the moment. He was almost completely unconsciously lying on the ground, spitting white foam and making a small sound like a gossip-

Woman's voice.

The Duke of Aquitain felt like he was going crazy. While stomping his feet hard, he pointed at the man on the ground and shouted: "Take off his clothes! Take off his nakedness! I want to see what he is!"

The girl's unripe ketone body was unreservedly exposed to the Duke of Aquitaine. However, the Duke of Aquitaine was frightened and retreated repeatedly, his expression as if he had seen the most terrifying monster in the world-

"No...this is impossible...this is impossible!"

He suddenly turned his body and hurried out toward the cell!

"Duke!" The general hurriedly chased after him, "Where are you going?"

"Select the soldiers! Let us get soldiers, generals, and nobles in Paris, gather everyone! Immediately! Immediately!"

The Duke of Aquitaine took several big steps outwards, but suddenly, he stopped again, turned around, and stared at the general with bloodshot eyes:
Chapter completed!
