After that, Heliga simply acted as a follower and said a few scenes after Towa-Heliga could see that even the words of the genuine leader Towa did not have much impact on them. In the final analysis, it was this time to make up your mind, and it would be too immature to confirm this determination through a word from the chairman. The seniors in the second grade have long thought about where they should stand and what they should do about it. The first grade students also slowly found the answer to this question during the two months of the civil war. . Therefore, when Heliga was alone, led by the old butler, Arno, to the wing room where the Duke of El Barrea was, he thought about such a problem.

Rufas El Barrea is actually the confidant of Gilas Osborne. Since Qi Ya told him about this fact, he didn't have too much doubt-not to mention, it could have been in line with what he had learned so far. However, the question is, what is the motive of Rufas himself doing this?

Heilija felt that the Duke of El Barrea had lost his power and was placed under house arrest after experiencing the conspiracy planned by himself and Euses. After the early incomprehension and hysteria, he almost should Calm down. Maybe he also discovered the problem, Rufas was actually stabs and hinders his actions, it's just that he didn't expect it.

Olibate's original guess was that Rufas was a bold, careful, and capable person. He foresaw early that the traditional aristocracy would inevitably decline, so he set aside his pedantic father and managed his own power alone. Considering that when the Noble Alliance was planning this incident, it would inevitably wait until he had full confidence before making the move, so even if Rufas acted under the nose of Duke Kane, he might not be unable to do this. After the civil war is over, Rufas will transform from Kane’s close friend and trustworthy man to his greatest obstacle to controlling and constraining the empire. By then, maybe it will evolve into Kane’s The traditional aristocracy headed by the collision with the upstart group led by Rufas.

However, now Heliga has discovered that even if it is lurking by Duke Kane's side and acting as his general staff, this matter was planned by Gillies Osborne. Regardless of why Osborne is so powerful that it can draw the strongest new generation recognized by the nobles to his side, let’s not say-how did Rufas himself jump to the prime minister's side?

Unlike some small aristocrats and landless honorary aristocrats who may join the reformers for various reasons-Rufas, but the great aristocrat of the El Barrea family, will be able to control a quarter in the future An empire’s power minister, an absolute sweet and pastry. All that Rufas did was actually pushing himself out of the circle of nobles. What is he doing this for? Why did Rufas want to take himself out of the circle of the nobles of Bariahart so afraid to avoid it?

With such doubts, he gently pushed open the room where the Duke of El Barea was. The west wing room was originally a guest room at the Duke’s house, and was reserved for guests who might occasionally come as guests. Since it is a special period, it is naturally impossible for any guests to visit him at the Duke’s Palace. Therefore, it is naturally isolated from the main body of the Duke’s city hall, and it is naturally chosen by Juses as the place where his father is under house arrest. In order to take care of his father's emotions, he also deliberately asked him to move some of the precious furniture and accessories in his father's room, which made the room where Helmut was located at this moment a bit unexpectedly luxurious.

The Duke of El Barrea was sitting on the sofa on the left hand side of the room, staring at the cup of black tea in front of him, thinking about something. When he saw Heilijia coming in, he showed a somewhat flustered expression at that moment, and immediately remembered that he didn't seem to have anything to fear - and then he slowly calmed down his emotions.

"Don't be unharmed, Your Excellency Helmut." Heliga didn't care about this little problem with Elbarea. He sat on one side of the sofa and motioned for Helmut to sit on the other side. Ciss told me that you have something to find me."

"Forget it. There is something, I may have some clues." Seeing Heilijia act so freely, it seems that he feels as comfortable as the Duke's home as his own, Helmut was really a bit uncomfortable for a while. However, he still knows exactly what the situation is now, so he didn't worry about this kind of thing. He took a sip of the cold black tea and frowned, "I heard Juss say... The Earl of Amancia gives..."

"I didn't do anything to him... just to assist Juss in the routine inspection." Heliga would naturally not admit this here in Helmut. Even if this is the tacit understanding between him and Euses and the regular army, it does not mean that he does not understand the illegality of using lynching to deal with a great nobleman. Although in theory the Earl of Amancia has committed crimes against the Duke’s family and also involved crimes against humanity, basically no one would be ignorant to reverse the case of such a dead person, but Heliga knew that all this could be Enemies in various senses make use of it, which is naturally silent.

"I can understand that you want to deny this matter... But, let's continue speaking this way." For a moment, Helmut seemed to want to point out that Heliga's insistence seemed to be meaningless. , But he still didn't say that in the end, "I originally thought that the object would be me or Earl Goti... Considering what I and he did to your father..."

"Originally it was not without it, but... just like what I said to Euses, after this incident, you have lost the power of the duke anyway, and being able to do this is my revenge. As for the Earl of Gotti, it is because Euses said he still has some usefulness." Heliga shrugged, "Moreover, I don’t have any problems with you and Lord Gotti now. As a former nobleman. , I think you should be able to understand this change of mood."

"It's true... after seeing many deeper things, some of the things that I had been worried about are not so important." Helmut was deeply convinced, "Uss has mastered this for a month, and I have I have seen some changes, I have seen things that have been concealed by various means before. I am looking for you and it is related to one of these things."

"Oh?" Heliga was very interested. What exactly would Helmut said?

"It's something from the early days of the Civil War. I didn't tell Juss about this because I was worried that it would affect his judgment." Helmut said anxiously, "Maybe you think this is some delusion... But in fact, After calming down these days, I carefully thought about some things at the beginning of the Civil War and found that my eldest son... Rufas seemed to be a little abnormal."

"How do you say?" Heliga's heart sank-perhaps he could know some stories about Lufas's past from the Duke. Perhaps it would help to understand why this Elbarea father and son was loyal to the prime minister?

"When the Civil War just started, Rufas told me that in order to maximize the benefits after the war, he needed to go to the headquarters of the Noble Alliance as a staff member to ensure that we can achieve the greatest victory in the overall situation. I was dissatisfied with his idea of ​​serving for Duke Kane, but agreed to his decision temporarily. You should also know what kind of expectations Rufas was placed in the aristocratic world. Therefore, he was originally cultivated as an heir. He didn't bother with this, and let him go."

"I know this." Helija nodded, "and he really lives up to his reputation. In the first month of the first month of Nei Zhang, the noble coalition has indeed made rapid progress."

"Except for me, yes..." Helmut laughed self-deprecatingly, "but this is not the point. The point is that before and after the encounter that led to my mistake, Rufas' attitude made me feel Something abnormal."

"About that... I remember I told you that it was a false testimony given by the Count of Amancia to the hunters." Heliga thought for a moment and said.

"Yes... but in fact, that group of mercenaries have been hired by me since the beginning of the war, and Omancia called them to violate the local military law." Helmut gritted his teeth, "I can't think he would be because of himself. I took the risk to do this...Although I knew he was close to Rufas and wanted to be patient with him for the sake of the future, I don’t believe that he dares to do such a thing. So someone must be instructing him to do this behind his back. "

"Speaking of... the regular army also said that after that encounter, when they swept the leader's garrison, they found a large number of maps marked with supply stations and storage warehouses." Heliga recalled the incident, "I. I think you wouldn’t put these things in the same command room... Could it be that..."

"Probably...that's the case," Helmut said weakly. "I think it was Rufas who instructed him to do this."

"The reason?" Heliga deliberately pretended to be puzzled-but Heliga, who actually knew his true identity, had almost figured it out. By doing this, Rufas was deliberately cheating his father and taking his own The father was removed from the noble alliance, thus fulfilling the mission assigned to him by Prime Minister Osborne and weakening the noble power. However, one of the most critical essential questions is, why does Rufas want to cheat his father so much? In order to achieve the prime minister's purpose, he can start from other nobles.

"Earlier before that, when the regular army defeated me for the first time... I used to complain to him through a dedicated route, and asked him why he didn't get more advantage for us from Kane." Helmu Te said, "That time he was very...indifferent."

"You rebuked him with some ugly words?" Heliga asked curiously. But he didn't think it was that simple-at that time Helmut was a stupid idiot, how could Rufas not understand his father's nature? He doesn't seem to be a person who would get angry for this reason and make such retaliation.

"That's why I came to you. This matter...I hope you can keep it secret, especially to Euss..." At this point, Helmut's lips began to tremble, and he was almost In a pleading tone, "If you let him know... then it will definitely..."

"Sell it... I promise you." Seeing Helmut this way, Heliga was puzzled, and at the same time he had a bad feeling.

The next moment, a blockbuster with enough weight exploded as Heliga expected.

"Rufas... he... is not my biological son." Helmut said this sentence in a very low voice-but Heliga, who was engrossed, listened to this sentence without omission. It's clear.

As if it were an electric shock, this explosive information connected everything Heiligar had previously discovered about Rufas through various means. In this way, everything makes sense.

Heliga, who was silent for a long time, finally asked softly: "Who knows about this?"

"I, Rufas, the butler Arnold, and a few nobles who are very close to me, such as Gotti." Helmut said slowly in a weak voice, "Besides, I want to still Some nobles have discovered some rumors in private... but they have no evidence, and they dare not talk nonsense. Therefore, they probably only stay at the level of market rumors."

"Do you know who his biological father is?"

"It's my brother." Helmut said, mentioning the details of this matter made him feel particularly uncomfortable. "At that time, I was appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to serve as Minister of Finance in the cabinet. I was busy with various affairs. For more than a year Time has never been home. Butler Arnold told me about this...I was so angry that I rushed back home and raped them in bed."

"So... you mean that Rufas did this because you treated him unfairly because of his status as an illegitimate child?"

"No... this is not true. Although this matter makes me angry, my brother is also from the El Barrea family." Helmut shook his head, "If you say his identity as an illegitimate child, it will be natural. It will make him lose his inheritance rights, but the various follow-up issues to be dealt with after that and the possible loss of family reputation are difficult to estimate. Coupled with his outstanding ability as he grows up... Therefore , I declared that he is my own son, and devoted a lot of effort to nurture him. Many things are also my initiative to delegate power to him. I never thought about this kind of thing before, now it seems..." Helmut gritted his teeth, "Mongrels are really unreliable."
