The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 275: Melvin’s attack

"——No."

Dmitri said coldly: "Your Excellency Sumarokov Melvin. The motion you proposed is excessive in any case."

"You don't have to refuse so quickly, Dmitri...His Excellency Bishop."

A middle-aged man with a magnetic voice and a very elegant appearance stood opposite Dmitri and said in a very gentle and calm manner: "I think we can continue to discuss the specific details."

His words emphasized Dmitri's identity as a cardinal.

He was reminding that Demetrius was not a grand duke or a consul.

In principle, Dmitry does not have the power to review the bill on behalf of Annan. Annan's initial suggestion was to let Dmitri pretend that he was still there, block everything, and make corrections in the background where no one could see.

Then he would deliver the message on behalf of Annan. If there are any new incidents, they will be "reported back" - go back under false pretense, come out again after a period of time, and pretend to put forward opinions in Annan's name.

But Dmitri always found this boring.

And just like those bureaucrats that Dmitri looked down upon the most... formalistic and unresponsive.

Anyway, Annan has already summoned the Hand of Winter in the United Kingdom.

The nobles who are a little more well-informed must know that although Grand Duke Annan has not said it, he has probably left the Principality of Winter.

If you continue to act like this, you may be mistaken for kidnapping, holding Annan hostage, or evading Annan.

So after Dmitry maintained this for a while, he simply stopped acting - he skipped the process of walking back and forth a few times and directly made his own decision. If someone asks, it is "Duke Annan said that I have full authority in this matter."

But even if everyone knew it, they didn't dare to make mistakes for a while.

After all, not long ago, Grand Duke Annan slaughtered all the nobles in the North. The remaining power is still there.

Although there are no big nobles among them... they will be squeezed out to the North where the conditions are the most difficult, and they will definitely be the most marginalized in the political circle.

However, the young Archduke of Winter did not collect evidence of their rebellion, nor did he declare their crimes in advance and sign an arrest warrant, nor did he have any overt conflicts with these nobles. situation.

——Without even notifying their local police station and army, they directly dispatched frost beast troops from Frost Whisper Province to kill them.

Anyone who resisted was executed on the spot, and the rest and their families were imprisoned.

This is actually completely inconsistent with the "tradition" of the Principality of Winter.

In the Principality of Winter, face and decency are actually very important. Annan's move does not give anyone face, nor is it decent.

On the one hand, other nobles have a heartfelt fear of this unreasonable tyrant; on the other hand, they also have strong dissatisfaction - a dissatisfaction based on uneasiness.

What Annan did was not in line with the "common sense" and "customs" they believed in. This will make it impossible for them to judge Annan's intentions and to deal with it.

In winter, the Winter family is no different from other nobles.

This attempt to regain the right to speak naturally caused a backlash from the nobles - they did not want to rebel and seize power, they just wanted to win preferential treatment. If you want to get preferential treatment, you must first let others see your value.

But these nobles never "work hard and fight hard." Instead, he will find an excuse to give up his job, and then start looking for people to cause trouble, or he will report all the troubles he has suppressed to them.

Let the Winter family know the value of their existence——

If local managers like them were lost, the Winter Family would be unable to move forward in the Winter Kingdom with their own strength alone. In this case, the Winter family will realize their importance...

If nothing else, although the land in the North is barren, it can still be divided. No noble would have too much territory.

Although Dmitri is not good at government affairs, he is not stupid. From the very beginning, he had been prepared that he would be troubled at any time.

——It is better for Dmitry to be in trouble than to be troubled by Annan.

A large part of the reason why Dmitri was willing to take on this thankless job was to protect his younger brother... the Grand Duke of the Principality of Winter, Annan.

Because everyone knows that Annan is trying to advance to the gold level - and in this process, if there is any problem, he may die without a burial place.

Every year, well-known Silver-level extraordinary people fail to advance to Gold and die. This is not an accident or two, but something that happens in every country and every year.

In this dangerous situation, a normal transcendent must make sufficient preparations if he wants to advance to gold.

If he is entangled in government affairs and is held back by various domestic troubles in the winter, it will be difficult for Annan to have the time and energy to adjust his status.

These nobles do not even need to directly confront Annan.

As long as he handed over the troublesome things that he usually suppressed, he could hold Annan back. Even if Annan wanted to reduce some troubles, he had to give up some benefits in the short term to calm down Dong Dong, who was starting to become increasingly restless.

...But they didn't expect that Grand Duke Annan would actually run away.

This is another unreasonable move.

Generally speaking, would rulers go to foreign countries for a stroll without even bringing bodyguards?

Of course, the ruler himself may be able to fight better than his bodyguards combined...

But the final result was that the government affairs that were originally intended to cause trouble for Annan suddenly multiplied several times and all fell on Dmitri.

It has been several months now.

Dmitri also didn’t know what was going on with Annan.

He could only do his best to handle government affairs for Annan. At least it wouldn't be embarrassing enough for Annan to hear something happen and disrupt his rhythm.

Just like when the elders in the family are working hard outside, as a well-behaved and obedient child, all he can do is take care of the home and prevent any trouble at home, forcing the elders who go out to put down their work and go home. In terms of age, Dmitri should actually be the elder.

But now facing these nobles with ulterior motives, Dmitri only felt a headache and stomachache.

——They are less and less concealing it.

They are here to cause trouble.

For example, this document...

"I'm sorry, the Principality of Winter will not agree."

Dmitri rubbed his temples, reached out and tapped the documents on the table: "Let the Melvin family take over the domestic orphan care institutions and preschool education institutions? Do you think I am a fool?

"You are a family that can produce 'god children'. Do you think I can rest assured that these children are in your hands?"

"What is there to worry about?"

As the family agent of this generation, Sumarokov Melvin said leisurely: "Have you read this report? In total, there are only three new orphans in the country every year. This is a very small number - of course, this is the result under the leadership of Grand Duke Annan."

This is talking nonsense with open eyes.

After Annan took over, there was almost no change in the general direction. No matter how you say it, this is the achievement of Grand Duke Ivan.

Of course Sumarokov knew this.

But he said this deliberately, just to dig a hole for Dmitri.

If Dmitri argued that this was not Annan's merit, but Ivan's - then this would eventually become a "discord between Dmitri and Annan", and among the nobles Circulating “evidence”.

This kind of rumor will completely change after a few rounds. The version spread to the people is even weirder. However, as a person involved, Dmitri cannot stand up and break his face... because he is not a ruler after all.

He is the spokesperson of divine authority, not the agent of political power.

Had he made the argument, it would have been another fact that "Count Melvin and Bishop Dmitry talked about politics."

Dmitry, as a ruler, has a reputation that is not justified - and this hidden danger makes it very easy for him to lay hidden dangers for himself and Annan.

He covered his forehead, feeling a headache growing more and more.

Dmitri is starting to regret it a little now... maybe he should have listened to Annan and pretended from the beginning that Annan was still in the cold winter.

In this case, Melvin will at least not be so arrogant...

Dmitri took a deep breath and replied clearly: "In short, it is impossible.

"No matter what, I will not pass. Annan will not pass here - it has nothing to do with how many orphans there are. Even if there are only one or two orphans, you cannot trade them as commodities.

"These children are the children of Winter, and they are the future citizens of Winter. Just because they are young, powerless, and have no parents who can stand up for them, they will not be allowed to be manipulated by you."

Dmitri narrowed his eyes and replied seriously: "Please come back, Earl Melvin. This kind of thing will not happen in the future - Annan and I must have the same opinion."

"No no..."

Sumarokov Melvin shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no -"

He opened his eyes ~IndoMTL.com~ with a sincere and humble expression: "I'm - I'm sorry, Lord Cardinal Dmitry. I have been deeply aware of my mistake... But I It’s important to note that this is not a request for your permission.”

"...what?"

"This is a report to you, my respected Majesty...I mean, Your Excellency."

Sumarokov bowed respectfully: "We started doing this a few years ago. And we will continue to do this in the future."

"You——"

"At the same time," Count Melvin interrupted Dmitri, "we will give these children an excellent education, assign them to Melvin's industry, and give them stable jobs. ."

He looked at Dmitri with wide innocent eyes.

Only half of the hair on the left side is braided, and the right side is covered with tattoos that look like hair. He looks only in his forties, but is actually from the same era as Grand Duke Ivan's father. The old man asked Dmitri in fear: "Are you planning to send the Hand of Winter because I give them good food and drink, educate them, and give them a stable job?"
