Chapter 274 The Crow's Conspiracy

Ding~

Suddenly I heard a crisp sound coming from the door, and the servants in the kitchen all looked in the direction of the source of the sound.

I saw a middle-aged man with a kind smile, neat clothes, black hair and black eyes walked in calmly. That unhurried majesty made the servants start to guess his identity.

He held a silver coin between his right fingers.

At this moment, the silver coin was rolling quickly between his fingers.

"Excuse me."

The middle-aged man suddenly stopped a passing servant and asked in a low voice, "How do I get to the basement?"

As he spoke, half of the silver pocket watch slid down silently from his wide cuff.

Seeing the familiar three-eyed crow logo, the servant's pupils suddenly shrank, and the pupils looking at the middle-aged man became a little scared, not daring to look at him.

"From, go straight ahead from here...then turn left and you'll see it."

With that said, the servant quickly saluted the black-haired middle-aged man and retired.

Annan in "David form" looked at his back thoughtfully.

I see.

Do the Noahs view the Ravens this way?

These servants are only afraid and jealous of this "man related to crows"... But if it is those nobles, officials and extraordinary people, I am afraid it is not so simple.

But this is also normal.

Look back at the ingredients of Noah's royal family.

Henry VIII had a total of nine children...five daughters and four sons.

But after five years, only three remained.

An eldest princess who is active in the court, actively interferes in the political situation, and is ready to be enthroned at any time; a twenty-five who intends to kill his father and siblings, fearing that he wants to draw that sword to gain the power of Yongsha. Boy; a slacker who doesn't do anything and doesn't care about fishing every day... and six dead ghosts who have already hiccups.

As far as their proportion of children with this problem is close to 100%, these servants who work in the royal family are not loyal and unruly, which is obviously expected...

... no, not quite right.

This seems to be the work of the crow's house?

Earl Geraint, as the intelligence chief, controls the "One-Eyed Raven", a special intelligence agency. The main task, in addition to collecting information for the king in all parts of the kingdom, is to monitor, investigate, and arrest suspicious nobles of the royal capital.

Annan was suddenly lost in thought.

Is the Geraint family too loyal...or too incompetent?

As long as they draw out a part of their hands, they can collect evil names, gather evidence, and even fabricate evidence directly to frame and attack political enemies with their power.

But they didn't.

Why is this……

Just judging from the undisguised fear of the servant, I am afraid it is not because of the latter.

Annan's steps paused slightly, and then he continued to walk towards the basement quietly.

He suddenly realized:

——This is probably the layout of Earl Geraint.

Don't look at the current Geraint family's constraints in the capital, as if any heir will be the enemy of the crow... But as long as one of them has a clear victory, they will immediately turn around and befriend Jielan. Earl.

Even the third prince, who was trying to kill his father and kill the king, tried his best to contact Ferdinand, and tried to promise him benefits directly through the rot, in order to win over a crow family.

Because of the intelligence support of the crow family, it is necessary for the new king who has just ascended the throne.

Then, Count Geraint has repeatedly emphasized that he is unbiased and only loyal to the king, probably not because of loyalty.

His plan is simple.

- Self-respect for raising pirates.

Four heads bet.

Henry VIII was dying of old age and they had to find the next generation of rulers. But this generation of Earl Geraint is not active enough... or it can be said that it is too cautious.

He did not interfere or promote in any way the birth of the new king.

Judging from Benjamin's long awareness of the rebellion of the third prince, and even knowing his assassination plan... Benjamin should be a member of the "One-Eyed Raven".

They know everything but do nothing.

In this infighting of the royal family, all the heirs can perceive what they would become if they lacked the power of the Geraint family... Losing the source of local intelligence is like turning a blind eye; in the case of assassins, especially In front of the extraordinary assassin, he is completely unable to protect himself; he cannot know the true attitude of others towards him, so he is easily deceived and falls into conspiracy; even his thinking may be controlled by others.

These are all things the One-Eyed Raven can see, prevent, or even block outright.

They can do it, but it's not necessary.

They have good reason - to be neutral.

And no matter who the ultimate winner is, after a period of time without the protection of the one-eyed crow... they must try to make good friends with the Geraint family after taking over.

It is impossible for them to betray Earl Geraint and abolish his position as intelligence chief at this time. To even take his power a step further... to get their support.

In this way, their throne can be firmly seated.

That is, no matter who the new king is - after they have taken the throne, they have been kidnapped instead.

They must pay Count Geraint's satisfaction.

Otherwise, Earl Geraint can completely ask for a higher price from the loser.

... what is this?

The Praetorian Succession Law?

Annan suddenly felt a little wary of Earl Geraint.

He was now beginning to doubt the information he had first received - that Count Geraint had distributed Don Juan in order to get him out of the center of the struggle.

The purpose of all this is to make the third prince think that he has killed Don Juan. But the reason behind this, Annan can't guess for the time being...

Earl Geraint, but there are only three children in total!

In order to lure the third prince...he even risked his youngest son.

As for Earl Geraint, it was impossible not to know that his eldest son had already served as the third prince.

"...Three heads?"

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Use the fake death of Don Juan's identity to make Ferdinand's identity higher..."

In case the third prince is the one who succeeds in the end, the Geraint family can also continue.

Could it be that to achieve this goal, he made the heirs fight each other until there were three people left?

— No, not right.

He even bet four heads.

To this day, the Geraint family is still loyal to the king... If the king finally accepts the request of the rot, and completes the ritual of immortality. Then their status will still not change.

Annan thought quickly in his mind.

This information, when he arrives in the capital a few months later... may be able to save his life.

Now there is only one unclear place.

He has three sons, and if he corresponds to the three royal heirs, and he himself corresponds to the king...

So, Don Juan Geraint...who is his assistant?

Annan suddenly stopped.

Suddenly, many images of himself, Prince Albert, Kaphne, Rosburg, Roof, and Silver Sir suddenly flashed through his mind...

Did he count me in the plan?

Benjamin knows too much.

If he was one of the One-Eyed Ravens, then Earl Benjamin would have known he was impersonating Annan.

Unless, his purpose is to let Don Juan get away with fake death...

Then let me be the one who helped Prince Albert to the throne for Annan?

So what is Don Juan doing?
