-41- Duke of Bold(2/2)
The current Duke of the Principality of Boulder, one of the nine Dukes of the Crescent Kingdom, a knight of the third level of the Blazing Sun, is also a member of the Crescent Kingdom's cabinet, and also holds the title of Military Administrator.
Although he looks sixty or seventy years old, he is actually only fifty years old.
It's just that he was seriously injured many times in the Star-Moon War in the Crescent Moon Kingdom and the Falling Star Kingdom that lasted for more than eighty years, and excessive magical treatment overdrafted his body, which made him so old.
Of course, his numerous military exploits have also allowed him to accumulate a high enough reputation within the kingdom.
But unfortunately, a serious injury when he was young also caused him to permanently lose his fertility.
Except for his only daughter Eleanor, who was born in his early years and has been married to the third prince of the Crescent Kingdom, his only remaining descendant is the illegitimate son Lenore.
Looking at the old man in front of her, Charlotte's mind quickly came up with information about her bad habits.
She took a deep breath, held up the corners of her skirt and performed the vassal etiquette gracefully and standardly, and then said respectfully:
"Lion of Boulder, wise lord, Charlotte of Castres pays you the highest respect..."
"May your glory, under the divine light, forever illuminate the land of Castres."
Duke Bold looked calmly at the girl who was bowing respectfully, with appreciation flashing in his blue-grey eyes.
He nodded slightly and smiled lightly:
"Get up."
Charlotte stood up after saluting, and the Duke pointed to the chair in front of the desk:
"sit."
Charlotte picked up the hem of her skirt and sat down in front of the desk. Soon the waiter brought a crystal glass filled with milk and served it to her respectfully.
Seeing the girl's slightly surprised expression, the old Duke smiled and said:
"I heard that you liked drinking these when you were hospitalized in the church, so I prepared them in advance."
After saying that, he looked at the girl carefully and couldn't help but sigh:
"I haven't seen you for so many years. You have grown up too. You are so beautiful and you are already the brightest pearl of the Crescent Kingdom."
"Looking at your eyes, I can feel that you have grown a lot during this period of time."
Charlotte was silent for a moment and sighed softly:
"People always have to grow."
This time, she didn't try to be cute.
Because she knew that in front of a figure like the Duke of Boulder, there was no point in being cute without foreplay.
"Yes...people always have to grow."
The old Duke nodded in agreement.
And then, he looked solemn again:
"Charlotte, do you know why I specially called you here this time?"
Charlotte's heart moved slightly and she bowed her head slightly:
"Please signal."
The Duke of Boulder did not explain directly, but suddenly stood up, looked at the map of the Principality of Boulder behind him, and said meaningfully:
Chapter completed!
