This idea is really easier said than done.

Early this morning, I called the head knight, who has been with me for three years, into the bedroom.

On entering the room she took off her helmet, her long pale blonde hair free from its restraints, and her beautiful, clear face no longer having to be hidden by her faceplate.

This little knight, whose name is Alea, is my personal guard of sorts, and the only one I trust in the world at the moment. I briefly told her about the situation I was currently facing, and Alea was taken aback, and the demeanor on her face clearly showed a few shakes:

"Young master, this ...... lord should not be so desperate, right?"

Though she said so, but I look at her appearance, I guess she already 70% or 80% believes.

After all, even though I didn't tell her about my assassination, she should have been able to tell a little bit about it after all the strange events that had been going on for a year.

Alea said to herself,

"If that's the case, I can find a way to assassinate Lord Liyi. That way the lord lord should not take the young master as a sacrifice."

I shook my head decisively.

"No. Not to mention that your chances of success are slim, and even if you succeed, my father is surrounded by masters, and it would be easy to find you out."

Alea's hand was pressed against her flat chest, a small smile on her face:

"I am the young master's knight. It is an honor for Alea to die for the young master."

"Although very moved but allow me to refuse."

I rejected her, and Alea looked a little distressed at the offer.

There was no way around it, and frankly, Alea was a little dumb.

How about the fact that I'd swear an oath of allegiance to a young master who walks birds and fights dogs every day?

But there's never a shortage of smarty-pants in this world, and a fool like this is a rare species, so naturally I couldn't let her die.

"Well, how about finding a way to make the lord angry?"

Alea made another suggestion and explained:

"The lord wants the young lord to compete with Lord Liyi for the position of the son, so if the young lord becomes lower in everyone's eyes, won't the lord change his mind?"

Ugh.

This girl still hasn't figured out the current situation.

I shook my head and said with a bitter smile:

"My father doesn't really want me to fight for this position. Although making such an appearance, in his mind, the world son can only be my elder brother. I'm just a stumbling block. My father doesn't care if the stone was dug from the mountain or picked up from a thatched pit, it's destined to be cleared away by my big brother anyway. And clean up me, my big brother can really mature, sit firmly in the position of Yunyang lord. So no matter how much I make a fuss, my father will not care."

Alea frowned and pondered.

Well, I was just trying to explain the situation to her, and the plan was still for me to figure out.

At that moment, Alea suddenly said,

"In that case, it would be better to ask the king for a favor."

"His Majesty the King?"

I asked, somewhat curiously.

Alea nodded her head, looking as if she had come up with a good idea, and said happily:

"I heard that His Majesty the King intends to betroth the young princess Lanna to Lord Liyi, and he should bring the Lord Princess himself over in a few days. The young master can find a way to plead with His Majesty the King to order a fief for you, and the lord will not dare to disobey His Majesty."

Well ...... it sounds like there is nothing wrong with that.

But why should His Majesty send me this favor?

I couldn't help but look at Alea with a hint of sympathy, this child, so young, how could she be so stupid.

If the king had promised the princess to my brother, he would have been on a same boat with my brother and would have cared about my life.

Maybe he'll be drinking and dancing on the sidelines when my brother cuts my head off.

Or he will help my brothet to kill me and when he married the princess, my brother will ask the little princess:

"Where's my brother?"

The little princess would have sung with emotion:

"My dad just got him killed."

A couple thus lived a shameless life, congratulations, congratulations - my ass!

How did things go so wrong?

And isn't my brother a bit too much, better looking and more talented than me, and now he's marrying a rich woman and going to the top of his life? Why can you just go your own way, but you make sure I don't have a way to go. If I wasn't a traveler, I'd be dead right here.

But the king is bringing his little princess to ......

Hmm.

Seems like we could make good use of that.

I waved at Alea and asked her to come up to me. I whispered in her ear,

"I've got an idea. You go prepare something ......."

My dad was going to treat me as that duck for the tiger to feed on.

Then the plan is called "Angry Duck".
