In the Palace of Versailles, the Duke of Aquitaine was sitting at the dining table, staring blankly at the piece of beef poured with juice on the table. The meat is good meat, and the juice is good juice, and even the plate is high-end products made of sterling silver. Just when the guards standing at the door were on duty, they had already smelled the aroma of beef and drooled in their greed.

But the chef grabbed his chest nervously. The reason was very simple - this dish had been served for a long time, but the knives and forks were still neatly placed at the hands of the Duke of Aquitaine, motionless. The Duke of Aquitaine frowned frequently when he looked at the beef.

A rush of footsteps came from the corridor.

"Duke, are you looking for me?"

A general walked into the restaurant. He was still wearing armor and weapons hanging around his waist. He was breathless. He was obviously just rushing back from the front line.

"Come?"

The Duke of Aquitaine raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the general.

"Yes!" The general straightened his body, "I heard that the Duke was looking for me, and I came over immediately!"

"Have you eaten?" The Duke of Aquitaine pushed the plate forward, "Do you want to do some?"

As early as in the corridor, the general had already smelled the tempting smell from the restaurant. He rushed back in a hurry, his stomach was already hungry. When the Duke of Aquitaine pushed the meat, his stomach couldn't help but scream.

The Duke of Aquitaine heard the general's stomach scream and said coldly: "It seems that your appetite is pretty good."

The general did not hear what Duke Aquitaine meant and touched his head and smiled.

"But, I can't eat it at all."

The Duke of Aquitaine put his hands on the dining table and held his head.

"It's been ten days, but the thieves have no news at all. What exactly do they want?"

"Duke, you can't eat for this?" the general said with a smile. "I had figured it out when I searched. Although this is indeed a little embarrassing, we can't blame us for it? Moreover, it's not our people who were arrested. If you really want to be torn to the votes by the thieves, it may be beneficial to us!"

"Tear the votes? That's the most terrifying thing for us!" Duke Aquitain raised his voice, "The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. If they dare to attack the nobles, they must have their own purpose. Whether they want ransom or any request, I can understand it. But if they just tear the votes... what is their purpose?"

"Duke, you mean..." the general asked cautiously, "...Upsteal?"

The Duke of Aquitain nodded, and then she asked, "Have you still not found the thief's stronghold?"

The general did not dare to look at the barbecue on the table anymore, and quickly stood at attention and replied: "Yes, no one was found! The only known army outside the city is the only rebel army! However, their location has basically not been moved yet!"

"Then, it's basically confirmed that this rebel army did it." The Duke of Aquitaine's eyes calmed down, "The insider I sent was gone, and this rebel army is indeed suspicious enough."

"Do I want someone to break in and search?" the general asked, "Just go in your name, Duke. If they refuse, they will be convicted directly and send a large army to encircle them!"

"Yes...no, wait."

The Duke of Aquitaine stood up, with his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth at the dining table.

"There is no news from the insider, and the rebels have been slow to go south. Four candidates were captured... and the Knight King of Britain. Yes, the Knight King. The one who organized this hunting event was the Knight King, and the reason was that there was a white deer... Going forward, the Knight King had run over to form an alliance with me in an abnormal manner... It's suspicious, this whole thing is really too suspicious!"

"Then... Duke," said the general in a daze, "No matter how suspicious it is, we have to send troops to fight, right?"

"What if this is a plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain?" The Duke of Aquitaine gave the general a blank look, "Can you make sure that Paris will still be ours after we send troops?"

"But... Isn't there the only one rebel outside the city? They are being beaten by us, so who else can capture Paris?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable! I am not a formal consul, and the situation in Paris is even more complicated. After we leave the city, can you ensure that the nobles and rebels in the city have no idea about this position? There may even be the remnants of the Count of Ile de France! You know, the Count of Ile de France is still alive in prison now! What if one of them joins with the riots outside the city?"

Speaking of this, the Duke of Aquitaine clapped his hands:

"Yes... yes... you can't be disturbed. The most important thing in front of you is the public trial of the Earl of France, and then the inauguration ceremony of the consul. Only when these two things are done can I truly command the princes of the entire federal government in the name of the consul! At this critical moment, no other mistakes can be made!"

The Duke of Aquitaine became more and more excited as he spoke. Finally, he even slapped his hand on the table. The plate of beef was turned out directly, and the juice flowed all over the dining table.

"Do a good job in Paris with a good defense. Spread a little more manpower to ensure the safety of the lords who came from afar to participate in my inauguration ceremony. Even if we want to wipe out this chaos army, we have to wait until these two things are completed!"

"Yes!" The general raised his waist, "I'll make arrangements now!"

"Wait a minute." Duke Aquitaine sat down again, "Call Luka over, I want to talk to her if I have something to do."

After the servant finished the beef poured out, he changed it to a new tablecloth. The chef also fryed a new piece of beef and put it in front of the Duke of Aquitaine, Luka also wore her red armor and came to the Duke of Aquitaine.

"Have you eaten?"

As before, the Duke of Aquitaine pushed the beef in front of Luka. Luka glanced at the plate and shook his head:

"No. I can't get used to these."

"Okay." The Duke of Aquitaine smiled awkwardly, pushed the plate to the side, and said, "Luka, the city is still peaceful now, and you have no tasks. Why are you still wearing this armor all day long? Can't you take it off?"

"Because you have not rewarded my soldiers with merits as you promised!" Luka shouted loudly, "I have specifically instructed my soldiers to never put down the weapons in their hands before receiving the reward. I told them that we are just civilians, and all our credits are obtained by weapons. If we put down our weapons, we may not get anything!"

The Duke of Aquitaine shook his head: "Luka, you can feel more at ease with me. I am a nobleman and will not break my promise easily. Today I asked you to come here to inquire about another rebel army..."
