Chapter 546 Rebellion 14

"How could this happen?"

Anxiety spread in the hall of the Lord's Mansion.

"This is a conspiracy! This must be a huge conspiracy!"

Philip was extremely sad. "These vampires from the Northwest Bay have been ostracizing the Graman family since they came to this land. Now, Alda is thriving under Graman's governance, and they are jealous again!"

Burgen said loudly: "Lord Ford, Lord Philip, and everyone present, we must immediately stabilize our position and unite the power of the entire territory to avenge Lord Graman."

"That's right!" Some people began to echo Burgen.

Burgen said again: "So I just suggested that a new lord be supported immediately. Only when the lord's position is not vacant can we have a backbone and the people of the territory will obey the call! In fact, this is also the order of Lord Graman. Yurio Webster is the heir designated by Lord Graman."

"Ah?" After Burgen said this, the people who were excited just now immediately became cold again.

"You mean, Lord Graman...determined his successor before his death?"

Everyone knows Yurio Webster. As a branch of the Graman family, he is a close relative of the current lord. He has a mansion in the city on the south bank of Lake Town and often visits the lord's mansion.

"Yes, that's what Stefano said. Otherwise, as an officer of the training department, how dare I say such presumptuous words in such a sacred place as the lord's mansion."

After a while of silence, the head of the Council of State Affairs, Old Ford, said: "Stefano, do you have the written order of the lord?"

The guard named Stefano shook his head, "It was too chaotic at the time, and the earl was also seriously injured, so no written order was given."

Butler Philip said dejectedly: "If we go by blood relationship, it is indeed the Webster family that is most qualified to inherit the lord's position, but..." He cast his eyes on the head of the Council of State Affairs.

No written order? Such a major matter is only based on verbal messages...Butler Ford had a little doubt in his heart.

He shook his head and said, "The successor to the territory is a matter of great importance. It cannot be decided so hastily, and... and it needs to be discussed with Earl Garnard who is still in Bayerdin. He is Lord Graman's sworn brother, and Lord Garnard's opinion is very important."

Burgan was very puzzled, "Why should we listen to Bayerdin's opinion on Arda's affairs?"

Old Ford replied, "Watch your words. Don't you know that with the promotion of the two earls, Arda, Bayerdin and Emden have become an inseparable whole? In fact, in addition to Lord Garnard, the nobles of Emden's vassal territories also have the right to express their opinions on the issue of succession - after all, after the usurper war, they also swore allegiance to Lord Graman."

Damn it! Bulgan cursed in his heart. All along, his attitude towards Bayerdin and Emden was that they were lands conquered and ruled by Arda, and they only needed to obey the instructions from Lake Heart Town.

Bulgan insisted, "But this is Lord Graman's order!"

Old Ford also insisted, "The monarch's successor is never the monarch's business alone! In addition... someone, come!"

After hearing the order, the two guards immediately entered the hall, which made Bulgan panic, but fortunately he did not show it on his face.

The head of the Council of State Affairs ordered in a majestic tone, "Find a room in the Lord's Mansion for Stefano to recover, but he is not allowed to leave the Lord's Mansion."

Stefano's one eye exposed outside showed a horrified expression. "Come with us, Stefano." The two guards who came in greeted the injured companion.

Stefano turned his neck slightly to look at Bulgan - this detail was captured by many people - of course, Bulgan did not respond to him.

The two guards took Stefano away.

"Master Steward, what does this mean?"

"He may have betrayed me, and the rebels sent him back."

Old Ford said this, thinking back to the glance Stefano gave Burgan. He must interrogate Stefano carefully when he has time, and ask him carefully about every detail of Paul's attack. If he was sent by a traitor, there would always be one or two flaws.

Moreover, as the head of the Administrative Council, he knew that in Fulan Port, there was a group of immigrants from Jiaowan with special identities and strange abilities. Perhaps there were people among them who could discern lies.

Alas, thinking of this, Old Ford sighed in his heart. It was a pity that Ms. Ladi Setia was not here. She went with Lord Graman, and it was likely that... I summoned her to the Administrative Council myself.

Bulgan thought quickly, not expecting things to turn out like this. He said, "It takes two or three days to go to Bayerdin and back even on a fast horse, and it's even farther to Emden. But now is a critical moment, and it concerns the life and death of Arda. If there is no one of the same status as the invaders - the level of lord - to speak out, those foreign lords who are eyeing us will use the difference in status to suppress us and put us in a disadvantageous position. Therefore, I still suggest that a new lord be supported immediately. As the lord of Lake Town, write a letter to those people with bad intentions immediately to let them know that we have a new leader and are as solid as a rock."

"This..." Old Ford pulled his beard and pondered. What Bulgan said made sense.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

"Lord Ford, everyone here. I trust Lord Garnard, but what about the others? If they insist on bringing their troops to Lake Heart Town, will they make decisions about who will inherit the position of lord? Do you want these outsiders to make decisions?"

Everyone was unwilling.

"So I suggest," Bulgan said loudly: "Let Lord Yurio, appointed by Lord Graman, perform his duties as the acting lord for a period of time, negotiate with the outside world in the name of the lord, at least get through the current dilemma, and wait until the situation stabilizes before discussing who will officially inherit the position of lord."

"This..."

Old Ford stroked his beard. Acting lord? It seems to be a feasible plan.

Not only Director Ford, but also the officials present whispered to each other, and many people thought it was okay.

Bulgan's hands were sweating and he was very nervous. If that still doesn't work, he can only call in the militia under his control outside.

But that would make the situation much more complicated, and would completely break off relations with the people in power in Lake Heart Town. If they refuse to cooperate, he would have to kill them.
