Chapter 1272 - Trigun"s Ultimate Move
Trigun and Damon continued discussing things with their ever-pretentious smiles on their faces.
If they were women, they would"ve definitely been the scheming white-lotus kind because their smiles and soft expressions were in stark contrast to their real nature and thoughts.
And it"s precisely because of this that most women were already so captivated by Damon.
They had already begun fantasizing about a life with him as their husband.
And seeing that they all wanted to talk to him, Trigun decided to wrap things up quickly, lest they make many overly suspicious.
"Son... Remember. If you must capture the hearts of these women, then make sure to target the ladies on the topmost end of high society. I won"t allow any rats near you... Understood?"
"Father, who is your son? Say no more. I"ve already seen the portraits of the most important ladies at the party, whether they are engaged or already married. Of course, women of their calibre will never be without a fiance from birth or the ages of 9 or so. Women like them should be formally engaged or already married. But so what? We need to secure the support of some of our allies, as well as infiltrate some enemies with watchful eyes. So if we have to use a stupid love-struck woman to do so, then why not? Heh. The fact that they have fiances or are already married hasn"t stopped them from staring at me possessively. So don"t worry, father. I"ll be able to hook as many p.a.w.ns as I can within the next few months." Damon said playfully.
"Wonderful!"
Trigun listened to his son and was incredibly proud: "Spoken like a true son of his father!"
.
Yes. Trigun felt that if he were Damon, he would also move in that manner.
It"s best to make all women become enemies of one another while staying a little distant too.
In short, the women would start fighting, and soon enough, some might die or implicate their families here and there.
Families would start having feuds, and with his control, all p.a.w.ns would act as they pleased.
That is, even though the duo had no respect for women in general, they also understood that though women were useless when deeply in life, they were extremely stupid and the best p.a.w.ns that could cause the most ground-shaking catastrophes in the end.
Throughout history, some Main n.o.ble households in the Capital have been executed just because of their beloved daughter.
Heh. Sons would rarely go too far off their points of interest. But daughters made the best p.a.w.ns for such dangerous games.
Thus, this event was here for him to capture the hearts of countless maidens.
And after today, Damon will begin his plans of making them all dance to his tune like fools.
Trigun ma.s.saged his jaws merrily: "How long did you say we had to wait?"
Damon chuckled mysteriously: "Father, my master loves me dearly. And come winter, my master"s people will arrive at the Capital city!"
"Winter? Good! Good! Good!" Trigun said while genius bursting out into laughter: "Winter is excellent! This Period is when everyone genuinely lets down their guard, giving us the perfect opportunity to strike. We will also gather the forces of our supporters to act during then too. That is, winter will be when that b.a.s.t.a.r.d distant nephew of mine dies. And by then, you will become Monarch!"
Trigun"s eyes glistened excitedly.
Monarch! Monarch! Monarch!
Bahahahahahah!
He had dreamt about the day when he would finally steal the Royal throne from the direct McClaine line, s.h.i.+fting it to his own side.
You know, his family name wasn"t McClaine because his mother, who was McClaine"s father"s sister, married a n.o.bleman.
From a young age, he had always been jealous of the McClaine"s who were secretly more respected because they had the McClaine name.
.
Again, his grandfather never paid particular attention to him or those birthed by the royal daughters because they didn"t carry the McClaine name.
So if they were put on the throne, then the mighty McClaine name would fade into non-existence.
That"s why when growing up, even though Trigun and several of others were above all other n.o.bles in rank and respect, they were still somewhere lesser to their cousins with the McClaine names.
And this of course made Trigun mad.
Why? Was it his fault that he came into this world via his mother?
From a young age, he secretly hated his mother for being so worthless too.
Why couldn"t she do what other mothers did and strive to fight and put any of her sons on the throne?
It was as though she was telling them that they weren"t worthy enough for her to try.
His Grandfather, who was now Damon"s late great grandfather, had a total of 7 wives and 6 concubines.
And wouldn"t you know it, those women birthed his father"s generation of 33 princes and princesses.
Who in turn married to produce his own generation.
Of course, as for his father and his numerous aunts and uncles... Heh... Even though they were vast in number, only about 7 out of the 33 survived.
The Royal household was a b.l.o.o.d.y one. And though each generation might start with having over 20 siblings or so, in the end, how many siblings would survive?
Look at Sirius" generation?
All his main compet.i.tors in his household are already dead.
And even till now, the other weak siblings were still at risk of facing death in future.
So whether they could survive and grow old was still a topic up for debate.
.
When Trigun thought of his mother, he had nothing but hate for that woman. His other royal aunts were struggling to place their children on the throne, but his mother adamantly refused to do so like the coward she truly was!
So wasn"t it her fault that he ended up with the t.i.tle of a mere Duke?.. Well, he was indeed an Archduke to be specific, which showed that he was a royal prince since the t.i.tle was particular to Royals.
But so what?
They had their ultimate move up their sleeves!
And soon, the McClaine house will Fall!
