Chapter 418: Happy Cooperation (Part 1)
"Victor, please wait a moment. I have something to tell Katerina. You can take this time to discuss the details of the coin distribution with Enbiser." Sylvia waved to Katerina, "
Katerina, please come with me."
Victor was about to send Sylvia out. When he heard this, he asked in surprise: "Ah? Lady Caterina is also going to the Kite Castle?"
"His Royal Highness Roland invited me to Kite Castle... Well, I think it's time to revisit the old place." Caitlina stopped, turned her bright eyes, tilted her head slightly, and asked with a mixture of anger and joy: "What? My dear little one?
Will, don’t you want to go with sister Lina? This is really sad.”
Weir is the stage name given to the little baron by Roland. Only a few people know that Victor has such a nickname, including Katerina.
The legitimate daughter of Duke Joshua almost became the queen of Cambis. As Roland's best friend, she had known the young baron a long time ago.
In Victor's memory, Caitlina at that time was very considerate and caring for the cute little prince, but she always had a proud and elegant attitude in front of other little attendants. She occasionally participated in Roland's self-written and directed films
The game also only uses Victor's nickname in that case.
Victor was shocked when he first met Catalina at Rose Manor. Both parties had a tacit understanding to avoid talking about the past in the Kite Castle, let alone reminiscing about the past.
Katerina called out Victor's little-known nickname in public, and her closeness was palpable. However, Victor had no sense of belonging to the little baron at all, and only felt embarrassed. He calmed down, and gave an elegant salute, "I am the one who is traveling with you.
It is an honor, the noble Lady Caterina."
Katerina raised her chin slightly, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled in her eyes, as if to say: You know what's going on. Then, she chuckled, took Sylvia's arm, and walked out of the room lightly.
Only Victor and the Duke of York were left in the room, sitting opposite each other. The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird.
The last person Victor wanted to see was Enbiter York. Perhaps because of Sylvia, he always felt uncomfortable and a little disgusted when facing the fat Duke. But at the moment, he could only
Pretending to be calm, he asked: "Your Majesty, do you have any questions about the casting rights of copper soles?"
"I like people to call me Duke, but I prefer you to call me Embiter." The Duke of York moved his fat body and said, "Your Highness Sylvia thinks too highly of me. I am really interested in currency."
There is no research. However, I always feel that there are loopholes in the Sol Covenant regarding the casting of copper Sol, but the specific issue..." He paused, shook his head and said, "I need some time to think about it carefully.
Talk to you about cooperation."
"In that case, I won't disturb your meal." Victor was about to leave.
Embiser nodded, cut a piece of pie, and suddenly asked: "Victor, have you known Catalina a long time ago?"
Are you trying to warn me to stay away from Catalina? It’s none of my business if you can’t stand Catalina yourself! If you really dare to bitch at me, don’t blame me for not showing mercy to you... Victor’s heart skipped a beat.
After a moment, he immediately became angry, sat down again, and said casually: "Well, I met her when I lived in Kite Castle. We are not familiar with each other. I thought she was also a maid in the palace."
A friendly smile appeared on the Duke of York's fat face, and he turned to ask: "Victor, have you noticed a strange phenomenon? Among the five marquises of Cambys, there is no extraordinary knight except Sophia."
The five major marquis families of the capital, Leopold, Greyward, Bastern, Ludwig and Wimbledon, are all famous families with a long history. They do not lack high-ranking knights, but the people who inherit the title of marquis are often
Family knights are ordinary scholars in the family, and family knights are basically far away from the political center of the kingdom, either serving in the military, serving as fief lords, or acting as retinues of royal members.
The phenomenon of ordinary nobles suppressing knight nobles is very strange. Victor smiled disapprovingly and said: "Silver knights can live to be 120 years old. They serve as important ministers of the kingdom, and others can't get ahead. If I were the king, I wouldn't like my subordinates either.
The ministers are all powerful extraordinary knights. You see, Her Majesty Williams and Her Majesty Catherine always maintain a cautious attitude in front of the Marquis of Gron, for fear of being disgraced by the military minister."
"We don't want the Randall family to recruit knights. In fact, you are not ready to recruit family knights, let alone accept Sophia's subordinates... The prosperity of the Randall clan has a lot to do with this decision of yours.
"The Duke of York said with a smile.
Victor was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I don't deny that knights are difficult people to control."
"Knights are difficult to control... Extraordinary knights are even more difficult to control." The Duke of York sighed and added: "Of the five powerful lords of Cambys, Duke Joshua is a trainee knight, and Duke Nim is a knight promoted through potions.
, the Duke of Wellington is a scholar noble, I... used to be a knight promoted by medicine, and now I am an ordinary noble. Only the Marquis of Solim is an extraordinary knight, and the Solim family has declined... Victor
, do you know the reason?"
Victor's interest was aroused, he thought about it, shook his head and said, "Please give me some advice."
"Call me Eunbi Se."
The Duke of York pushed away the food and shouted to the maid: "Um... Baby Elijah, please take away the breakfast. I want to talk to Viscount Randall alone." While the maid was clearing the table, he reached out and placed his hand on her plump breasts.
A pinch on the buttocks.
The maid with beautiful appearance and slim figure smiled charmingly at the fat Duke, picked up the remaining food, turned and left the room.
Eunbise smacked her lips and said, "What a beauty..." and said viciously, "Ilia is my treasure, don't try to seduce her."
Victor wanted to keep a straight face, but couldn't hold back his laughter. He could only shake his head and said: "Big... Eunbise, you are thinking too much."
Eunbi Se laughed loudly, and the awkward chat atmosphere disappeared immediately. After a while, he continued the topic: "Extraordinary strong people have a strong will. No matter how wise and smooth they appear, the essence of strength remains unchanged. Every time
Sub-principle concessions are a heavy blow to them. Just like two saber-toothed beasts, tooth against tooth, claw against claw, both have the ability to kill each other, how can they get along well with each other?"
"There are only two great knights in the Thorim family. The situation in Copper City is so difficult, but the other great knight is hiding in Blinol City. Why? It's not to avoid the tough Marquis of Thorim." Duke of York
Said sarcastically.
Victor kept saying: "I don't understand why the old Marquis Solim can't tolerate the family's Silver Knight?"
"He's not as fat as me, how can he accommodate the Silver Knight?" Eunbise kneaded his fat face into a strange shape, let go of his hand, and laughed: "I think this is very interesting, what do you think?
?”
Victor watched speechlessly as the fat on Enbise's face trembled non-stop. After a long while, he said, "As long as you are happy."
"A great knight will not have fun for himself when he is bored." Enbiser shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "Their behavior always brings a lot of pressure to the same kind. Even if the Marquis of Solim invites the family's chief
The knight cuts a piece of barbecue for him, and the great knight also has to figure out the true intention of the marquis... The old marquis Solim will also think about every move of the great knight of the family. The worst thing is that almost every silver knight can eventually resonate with 36
Elemental position. The same strength, the same nobility, no one is convinced by the other... Since there is no golden knight in the family, everyone can only recommend a guy with low bloodline as the leader. This is how the primogeniture system comes about."
"Ah? I thought primogeniture was to keep the family intact..." Victor murmured.
"Isn't it just to maintain the integrity of the family... The leader of a strong family lets the high knights of the same level run away, and the eldest son's task is to help the family accommodate more high knights." The Duke of York smiled and said: "Do you think
Do I, the Duke, look pitiful?"
Victor was silent for a moment and asked: "Why are you telling me this?"
"What do you think?" The Duke of York smiled meaningfully and said calmly: "Victor, you don't understand the life of the big family, and you misunderstand me... This is not good. We should understand each other and eliminate
misunderstanding."
"My grandfather, Geoffrey, Duke of York, was 19 years younger than his wife, Lady Isabella, the previous guardian of the family. No one expected that Geoffrey, with mediocre qualifications, could become a
Great Knight... This happens occasionally. The eldest son of a big family becomes a Silver Knight through his unremitting pursuit."
"My father was not so lucky. Jeffrey was only 16 years old when he gave birth to him. He was not even a trainee knight, and Isabella was only a senior knight. My father relied on refining potions to barely become a trainee knight. Later, Jeffrey
Isabella and Isabella gave birth to a girl and a boy. My aunt married Naville and replaced my mother... My uncle is Terlandon. When my grandfather gave birth to him, he was already a high knight.
So Terlandon is not much older than me." The Duke of York showed a nostalgic look and said: "Although my father is the weakest, he is the eldest son and is born to inherit the York family...until he has a piebald head.
The tiger killed him and he failed to become the Duke of York."
Eunbi Se shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Actually, my father's martial arts skills are very good, but he doesn't believe that he is old, and he thinks that the spotted tiger is a kitten. Isn't it ridiculous?"
"This is a tragedy. I'm sorry for what happened to your father." Victor said sincerely.
"Tragedy? Maybe. At least he proved the courage of the Tusk descendants and did not let Jeffrey watch his eldest son die in bed..." The Duke of York muttered: "My grandfather is too alive..."
"Of course, my father's life was very exciting. He was always busy and had no regrets." The Fat Duke cheered up and continued: "For the same reason, in order to retain the family's great knight, Geoffrey put him away early.
The family affairs were left to my father. Everyone called him little Geoffrey, the little Duke of York. He loved his children very much, especially Fred, even though he was not his biological flesh and blood."
Enbiser looked at Victor, who was dumbfounded, and said with a mischievous smile: "Fred's biological father is a highness. I won't mention the specific name. If there is not such a deep relationship, how can Ulena
Will she marry Terlandon? Fred knows his life experience and knows that he is a descendant of the York family, the son of little Geoffrey, and the younger brother of the current Duke of York."
"Is it difficult to accept the complicated marriage relationships in a large family?"
Without waiting for Victor to answer, Enbiser said solemnly: "The family relationship between small family members is simple and stable. That's in Cambis. That's because there are big families in Cambis. Go to the Eastern League and see, those
