indescribable bubble

"Of course, it's a trivial matter!"

Cecil said without hesitation: "I will visit more in the next few days to let everyone know our friendship."

After a pause, he jokingly said again: "Mary, actually, your request is a little bit of a loss."

"Oh?"

"You didn't see that Earl Yog and His Majesty had a great conversation at the banquet. This meeting can be said to be a great success."

"Under such a tone, the royal family will not go to war. At most, there will be some 'small warnings' to you secretly."

"Even if it's a 'little warning', it's hard for Mary to bear it."

She asked with a smile: "With your friendship, will these 'little warnings' still exist?"

"of course not."

Cecil said indifferently: "I don't have much face in front of His Majesty, but Grandpa does."

"Your matter can be big or small, don't worry, this time will definitely pass safely."

"Speaking of which..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mary poured a glass of wine for Cecil herself: "Talk more, so we can understand each other better."

"Mary, I think you've been reckless this time."

Cecil showed a sincere expression: "Earl Yog is based in the south, and your status is too different."

"Even if you show your favor regardless of everything, you may not get anything in return."

"I don't look at the reward in front of me. Mary is already satisfied to be able to connect with the Earl this time."

"I see." Cecil nodded, still feeling that Mary was too adventurous.

"Cecile, Mary is not from aristocratic background. If you don't take risks and 'gamble', you won't be able to get where you are today."

"Status...I don't think status is that important, the most important thing is to live happily."

Mary laughed all of a sudden, and she shook her head: "Cecil, you are a little different from what I thought."

"Oh?"

Cecil asked with interest: "In your imagination, what do I look like?"

"The heir of the duke family should be more rational in my imagination."

"I'm actually quite rational," Cecil said solemnly.

"But your naive side has not been worn out."

"It's so rare, Mary, I'm so envious."

"Envy?" Cecil looked at her in astonishment.

"That's right, this is the privilege of the superior." Mary said meaningfully.

"..."

"Hahaha, Mary, it's really a pleasure chatting with you, I feel like I've forgotten all my troubles at once."

"We are already friends, please quickly get used to this kind of chat."

Mary didn't say any more serious topics, she introduced the scenery of the royal capital to Cecil.

"From this mansion to the west, there is an open park funded by the royal family."

"You don't need to be an aristocrat, and ordinary people can come and go freely. Let's go for a walk next time?"

"Okay, this is a welfare project for the royal family, right?"

"kindness"

"Haha, to be honest, Grandpa also had such an idea, but he gave up in the end."

"Have you encountered any practical obstacles?"

"No, no, it's just that he's too stingy and doesn't want to spend money."

The two chatted, and before they knew it, the night was getting dark.

"Ah, it's time to chat and chat."

"Mary, I should go."

Cecil stood up, looking like he had no intention of staying overnight.

"I send you."

Mary walked him all the way to the door without saying a word of hint.

"..."

Seeing that Mary sent Cecil away, the old maid had been in a daze, and couldn't help saying, "Miss, this young master is really nice."

"Well, it's much better than I imagined."

"maybe"

Mary touched her face, feeling a little uncertain: "Maybe it's just the type I like."

Outside the mansion, Cecil hummed and walked to the carriage.

"Master"

The figure that appeared out of nowhere startled him, and when he took a closer look, Cecil said angrily, "Why are you following me? Didn't I tell you not to follow?"

"Master, I'm really worried that you haven't come back."

The butler looked Cecil up and down, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Master, you, have you..."

"What nonsense are you thinking, Mary and I started out as friends!"

"Mary?"

The butler's eyes widened: "You, have you already called him by his first name?"

"Yeah, Mary and I hit it off right away."

Cecil smiled and waved his hands: "Your young master is sleepy, so I don't want to say anything now."

"Go home and sleep!"

.................................................. ......................

The nobles who participated in the welcome banquet returned to their mansions to rest early, but in the palace, the lights in Charlie's study were always on.

His Majesty the King was staring at a map, pen in hand, looking pensive.

"Big Brother"

"Big brother-"

With a shake of his hand, Charlie's pen fell to the ground.

His Majesty the King was about to get angry, but when he saw Xavier's innocent expression, most of his anger disappeared immediately.

"You, you, why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?"

"I've knocked three times, but you still haven't responded, brother."

Chawell shook his head, and he shouted out the door: "Come in."

A maid came in and put the hot soup on the table. She saluted the two of them and quickly backed out.

"You've frightened her by not responding."

Chawell chuckled: "Of course, it scared me a lot."

"You startled me!"

Charlie said angrily: "Being so frightened by you, I lost my train of thought."

"It's so late, brother, why are you staring at the map in a daze?"

"I'm thinking about Yogland."

Facing his closest brother, Charlie didn't hide anything.

"The title of Earl of Yog must be raised, but the territory of Yog is not big. I am thinking about drawing a few pieces of 'no man's land' around it, so as to form a marquis!"

"Brother, are you bewitched? Why are you so generous!"

Charlie spoke lightly, but Xavier felt a pain in his heart when he heard it.

"Isn't it okay to raise the title directly? The hereditary marquis is enough, why give her the land for nothing?"

"Earl Yog said that in the future, the profits of the gold business will be divided into [-]% of the royal family every year." Charlie said in a deep voice.

"...This, this is really sincere."

Chawell's face also became serious: "In this way, we can't be stingy."

"The territory that should be allocated must be allocated to her."

"Big brother wise!"

Chapter 614 Chapter 613 Power

In the past few days, the residents of the capital clearly felt that the atmosphere in the city had changed.

"It feels like everyone is very happy recently."

The aunt who bought apples in the market chatted with the vendors: "It's not like a few days ago, everyone has a straight face."

"It's because the elders are in a better mood."

The vendor said with a smile: "Those elders are in a better mood, and everyone is also happy."

"Did something good happen? Why did the nobleman feel better all of a sudden?"

"Oh, you don't know."

The vendor said in a relaxed tone: "In the future, we may not have to fight with the grassland!"

"what?"

The aunt asked in surprise: "Isn't Nanmian fighting all the time? Why didn't it suddenly stop?"

"An alliance was established in the south, and the leader of the alliance took the lead to resolve the grievances between Thain and the grassland."

"From now on, we will not fight the grasslands, but instead do business."

"Really?"

"Why lie to you, everyone knows about it."

"It's fine not to fight, no wonder the elders in the city are happy."

A smile appeared on the aunt's face: "That leader is really powerful, he must be a great person."

"That's right, a few days ago, the leader of the southern alliance came to the king's capital to meet His Majesty, and His Majesty welcomed him personally!"

"Not only greeted him personally, but also raised the title of the leader to a higher level."

The peddler said enviously: "It used to be the Earl, but now it is the Marquis."

"Monsieur the Marquis? That would be a great deal."

"..."

"......"

"Mary, the people in the royal capital are quite free, can they talk about this kind of thing on the street?"

The handsome young man walked past the fruit stand. After hearing the conversation between the aunt and the vendor, his face showed a little surprise: "In other territories, I have never seen civilians dare to talk about nobles."

Mary, who was traveling with her, wore a veil on her face, and she smiled slightly: "The capital is the capital after all, and it is always different from other places."

"In the final analysis, I think it is thanks to His Majesty's magnanimity."

Hearing this, Cecil nodded.
