The main city of the viscounty is called Silver Wing City, which is a small rural city about the same size as Kaiyue City.
Habbs owns a magnificent castle in the northwest of Silver Wing City, near a small lake. The Habbs family does not have many family members in the viscounty, only a dozen or so.
These dozen members are all knights without exception.
The Habs family was once a royal family, but after the country was destroyed, they were forced to live in the countryside, where they became a family of noble descendants and made a living by doing business.
However, the family members have never forgotten their former royal status, so the male members of the family are knights, all in order to gather the power to restore the country.
Of course, this seems completely impossible to succeed. What does a dozen knights mean?
No matter what, this is the insistence of the Habs family members. The business activities of the Habs family will be managed by their wives or daughters.
Currently, the most important person in power in the Hubbs family is Miss Alice's grandmother, Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith is a member of the Silver Wing Viscount family and has a very close blood relationship with the contemporary Silver Wing Viscount. Since she took charge of the Habbs family, the Habbs family's business has been booming.
Influence and wealth are greater than those of the Morgan family.
By the way, these two families are sometimes allies in their careers, and sometimes they are enemies. They are both enemies and friends.
So Alice and Miss Amanda are having some trouble getting along.
On a sunny afternoon, Alice rode her carriage and came to the castle under the protection of her family's guards.
The light on the sparkling lake makes the castle seem like a dream.
The castle theme has five floors and covers a very large area. It is surrounded by buildings and a wall. There are guards, knights, and male and female servants. It is like a small city.
The Habbs family has a close relationship with the Silver Wing Viscount family, but they do not belong to the knight family serving the Silver Wing Viscount. All the weapons here are the private property of the Habbs family.
This situation is very common in the Kingdom of Prussia, and powerful merchants have some armed forces of their own.
Alice and her party easily passed the interrogation of the guards outside the castle and came to the main theme inside the castle. Alice got off the slut's golden carriage, and a team of male servants came up.
Alice ordered, "Gilma, polish the bright spots on my golden carriage. If that doesn't work, polish it. It's all dull."
"Yes, Miss Alice." A male servant said humbly.
"Where is my grandmother?" Alice asked.
"Mrs. Smith is in the bedroom on the second floor." the valet replied.
Alice nodded, then told the valets to take care of the knights who came with them, and then entered the castle.
The coat of arms of the Habsburg family hangs on the wall of the castle hall, with two tigers holding a crown on the left and right, symbolizing royal power.
On the right side of the coat of arms is an oil painting depicting King Habsburg, the first generation leader of the Habsburg family.
Every time members of the Habs family came here, they would salute King Habs, but Alice was obviously not interested in this. She curled her lips and walked up the stairs to Mrs. Smith's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Mrs. Smith was touching up her makeup with the help of two maids. She was over sixty years old, but she took good care of herself. With her makeup, she looked like a beautiful woman in her forties.
She is an elegant lady.
"Oh, my dear Alice, you finally remembered your grandmother." Mrs. Smith waved her hand and asked the two maids to go down, and then said in a pretending resentful tone.
Alice spent most of the year in the viscounty, staying with Mrs. Smith, and this time it took too long to go to Kaiyue City for business.
Mrs. Smith is not used to it.
"No, I will think of grandma all the time." Alice in front of Mrs. Smith seemed to turn into an invincible young girl. She hugged Mrs. Smith from behind and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I believe you." Mrs. Smith's eyes narrowed happily, and she patted the back of Alice's hand and said.
The two had another intimate conversation, and then Mrs. Smith asked, "What makes you hang around in Excelle City for so long? Are you a handsome young man?"
"No way." Alice immediately shook her head and denied it, but soon had no choice but to talk about a great young man.
"Grandma, do you know the Pompeii family?"
"Is it the family that wiped out the Autumn Wind Bandits entrenched in the Blackwater Mountains not long ago? To be honest, they helped us a lot and allowed our Habs family to save a lot of protection fees."
Mrs. Smith thought for a moment and thanked her.
The Habs family is a family with a certain amount of force, but obviously it cannot be compared with Baron Barton and Viscount Eagle Wing. Both of these nobles are helpless against the Autumn Wind Thieves, let alone the Habs family.
Therefore, the family pays a portion of the protection fee to the Autumn Wind Bandits every year so that business activities can proceed normally.
From this aspect, Luther was kind to some surrounding families.
"Could it be the next generation knight of the Pompeii family, Luther, Mr. Pompeii? According to rumors, he is a powerful knight who can kill monsters. Not bad. You should also find someone to fall in love with."
Mrs. Smith's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Alice with loving and distressed eyes.
Many people would not believe that Alice and Miss Barton, who were known for their dissolute debauchery, had never had a serious relationship.
Never had a man.
Although many men are jealous of Alice and even start a duel.
Alice smiled and said, "That guy is indeed not bad, and there is no pressure to get along with him. But what I want to talk about is not the man, but the future of the Pompeii family."
Mrs. Smith's eyes were brighter. She rarely heard her granddaughter say such comments about a man.
not bad.
She was about to ask, but looking at Alice's serious expression, Mrs. Smith couldn't help but stop, and then asked, "The future of the Pompeii family?"
Mrs. Smith nodded again and said, "Judging from the current actions of the Pompeii family, this family's upward momentum is obvious and their ambitions are sufficient."
"This family wants to build a metropolis. Currently, the Morgan family, the Pompei family, and six other small families and I are participating in the Pompei family's preliminary plan for a resort hotel, oh no, it's called a resort."
Alice told Mrs. Smith everything that had happened recently.
"Grandma, I have invested all my belongings and am ready to have a big time. You must use your connections to help me promote it."
After finishing speaking, Alice acted coquettishly and said cutely.
If a man's bones are all crispy.
Even Mrs. Smith was a little carried away.
The eldest daughter of a great baron has the charm to kill both men and women.
