Chapter 564: Decades of hard work (where is the wind going?
Marquis Ballard, the uncle of the brothers Croval and Alfred, and the uncle of Ryan and Miltio.
Although this person has the title of marquis, his reputation among the nobles can be said to be inaudible because of his debauchery of private life and low moral character that he had long been public.
But this person is not a purely incompetent person. As long as things related to seizing profits, he will show the keen insight of a vulture and can always strengthen himself while damaging the interests of others.
But this behavior undoubtedly aroused public outrage among the nobles. More than half of the more than 40 nobles present had dissatisfied and hostile eyes towards Marquis Ballard.
Haynes said calmly, "Marquis Ballard does have the right to run for election. According to regulations, those who receive more votes can win the right to elect the Duke. So... First of all, please vote on Marquis Ballard."
"If you agree with his succession of the title, please raise your hand."
After Haineshou finished speaking, Heidel was the first to raise his hand to agree, but the lonely hand present changed the face of Heidel, who was originally full of confidence.
"You...you!"
Haider said in anger and frightened manner, "This is different from what we agreed in advance! If you don't want to be liquidated later, give me some backbone!"
Faced with Haider's explicit threat and foreseeable changes in the future, the nobles of Kluchen State slowly began to raise their hands.
However, at a glance, there was only one person who raised his hand in Nothia, and the other counts all looked at the jumping clown who made his decision against Rognahou's wishes.
Most of the nobles in Lamar and Schalrant were not interested in the Marquis of Ballard, and they all held hands and looked like they were watching the show.
The four nobles of Lamar State, who were Count, were watching the cold gaze of Marquis Recon, and the hands that they wanted to raise were never dared to extend out.
Euss looked at the five Kluchen state nobles with their hands raised. Among the other eight, four seemed a little undecided. Only the last four looked at these easily incited colleagues with contempt.
"this……"
Marquis Ballard obviously did not expect that Ryan's simple threat caused a huge change in the original plan that had been very confident.
"Play!"
Ryan sneered and clapped his hands. Marquis Recon took out two identical envelopes from his arms and placed them on the table with a cold face.
When he saw these two letters, Heidel and Marquis Ballard's expressions changed drastically at the same time. Marquis Ballard, who was originally full of confidence, shakingly fell onto the chair. Heidel lowered his head in a cold sweat and never dared to say a word again.
"Everyone," Marquis Recon said with a blank expression, "this list was obtained from Director Ballard and Director Heidel through special channels."
"As for the content... the two letters are basically the same. Except for the different promises in the beginning, the list of supporters behind them is almost exactly the same."
Marquis Recon handed over two letters to the nobles attending the meeting to circulate them. The uninformed nobles immediately frowned after seeing the content.
The insiders who had ghosts in their hearts were like Haider, lowered their heads pale and did not dare to argue.
Ryan smiled and stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Recon, let me leave it next."
Ryan said with a smile that looked like spring breeze on his face, "I guess everyone should have guessed who this letter came from. I didn't expect that a traitor who betrayed the noble alliance could still have such an important position in the hearts of all the great nobles."
"I don't know what Lufas promised you, but please understand one thing. The so-called Noble First Young Master of the Noble generation has already recognized the thief as his father and surrendered to the reformists, and in the civil war, he had ulterior motives to disintegrate the aristocratic alliance from within."
Ryan looked at the camp in Kluchen State meaningfully and said, "Please think clearly. Can you really get what you want from Lufas, who is not even his own line among the reformists?"
Euss looked at the nine restless nobles with a cold face. "After the meeting of the lords, you should retreat consciously and let a heir who understands the truth take over the title. I don't want to repeat it again."
"yes……"
Euss's handling method was already quite tolerant. He did not expect that Lufas could clearly have such great prestige for Kluchen State when he jumped to the reformists.
Ryan smiled and looked at the Marquis of Ballard, whose face was gloomy and gloomy, "Uncle, I heard that you played too much when you were young, which led to no children in your knees yet?"
"You..." Marquis Ballard felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Ryan in horror and asked, "What do you want to do?!"
"Haha~" Ryan's sunny smile seemed very gloomy to Ballardhou and the four counts of Lamar.
Earl Earl Eagle took the opportunity to pass a report of dozens of pages to the nobles present for browsing.
Ryan said calmly with one hand on his hips, "This report records in detail the story of the uncle and the reformists colluding with other nobles this year, including Lufas's guarantee."
"Lufas promised to support his uncle after he seized the position of Duke of Kane so that he would not be subject to any restrictions on his personal consumption."
"The condition is to... gradually reduce the number of troops in the state of Lamar, suppress the opposition of other great nobles in the noble alliance as Duke of Kane, and completely obey all military orders of the central government."
At this time, Marquis Ballard was already limping on the chair with a hatred gaze of the nobles, and his eyes were dumbfounded. He was muttering words like "It's all over".
Ryan stood on the conference table with his hands, and looked at the nobles present seriously and said, "What do you think, as the Duke of Kane, I propose to abolish the title of Marquis Ballard and let him stay in Lackville for his old age?"
“Agree.”
“Additional.”
"Hmph! It's really a cheap guy!"
When Ryan saw this scene, the corner of his mouth curled up a little, and then he looked at Hayneshou politely and signaled.
"Play!"
Hayneshou clapped his hands, and Leon immediately walked in from outside the door with a team of leaders.
"Take Marquis Ballard down and escort him to Lackville immediately with an airship."
"yes!"
"Bang!"
When the Marquis Ballard, who had no sense of resistance, was dragged down, the gate of the conference hall was closed again.
Ryan turned to look at the four Lamar nobles who had collusion with the prime minister, and said with a smile on his face, "As for you, don't I have to say anything?"
"Yes...we will retreat immediately after the meeting."
Seeing that Ryan did not mean to kill them all, the four counts barely recovered some of their spirits. At least the family heirs could still choose their own choices, not as miserable as Marquis Ballard.
As Ryan said before, Marquis Ballard had no son.
Although they had a few sons and nephews, they were basically difficult to become great people. They could barely defend their own family of the Viscount Baron, and they did not dare to jump out and compete with Ryan for the position of the Marquis.
Ryan had already made arrangements for the marquis vacant rank of Ballard, and he had already reserved a marquis for Miltiolo.
However, in order to avoid the premature exposure of her cousin to the public, Marquis Ballard's territory was temporarily directly under the jurisdiction of the Kane family.
Host Hayneshou said again after the situation calmed down, "The handling of Marquis Ballard is temporarily everywhere, as for Haider..."
Haineshou glanced at Haider, who was trembling all over his body, "I believe Rognahou will give us a satisfactory explanation."
"Next, let's continue with the previous topic."
Hayneshou raised his hand and said, "Another candidate for the successor of Duke Kane - the current only son of the Duke Kane, Reinhardt de Kane, please raise your hand if you agree to the successor of him."
