"It's hard to imagine that the young master actually accepted the Du Guaclin family." In the small but beautifully decorated castle restaurant on the second floor, the old butler and Xavier sat face to face. The maids prepared a simple breakfast in detail.
Wheat bread and sausages were handed over to him, and then he stepped aside respectfully.
"All I ever ate was black bread and ice-cold water, and I never thought I could enjoy food." Naples said quietly, looking at the white bread in front of him with some regret.
"Dugueclan controls maritime trade. If Dugueclan is destroyed, it will be difficult for us to find the next family to take over." Xavier used a silver knife and fork to cut a small piece of sausage and put it in his mouth.
Here, his movements are very graceful, and he has obviously received special training.
"Is it because there are several other families? But young master, don't forget one thing..." Like an old gentleman, Naples slowly put down his knife and fork and wiped it with a tissue handed by the maid.
Crumb mouth.
"..." Xavier was stunned, and suddenly realized that this was the case! He had been thinking that if the Du Guaclin family was destroyed, the port would be taken over by a vassal family from one of the other three major families, and at that time
There would not be such a good opportunity now. There would be no possibility that the ship trading family would become a subsidiary family of one's own.
But all this is based on the "destruction of Du Guéclin".
Nori was captured by Sentinoa a hundred years ago, and four exiled count families from Danfengboluo were stationed here. They restrained each other from the beginning. However, they also helped each other at the same time, and their interests were mutual.
Hostile, but also closely integrated. The destruction of Dugueclin had a greater impact on the other three families, exceeding the benefits they could obtain.
Therefore, fundamentally speaking, they will not allow Du Guaclin to disappear.
Naples smiled and looked at Xavier who suddenly understood. He nodded happily. The young master's understanding was beyond his imagination. He had only just started, and the other party already knew the pros and cons here.
"But don't worry, young master. Your move is very correct. As long as you can firmly control Du Guaclan, you can let Qiangwei completely control the maritime trade of Norway and Li." The old butler maintained his smile and nodded slightly.
After all, no matter how cunning a young fox is, he can't escape the hunter's plan. Naples took a sip of the green winter wine on the side, smacked his lips, and savored the thought.
Xavier nodded, touched his chin, and carefully thought about what happened before.
"But in Naples, what is a secretary? From Iyalan in the morning to Antonio later, everyone said that I should find a secretary?" Xavier suddenly thought of it and asked doubtfully.
"Iyalan? That little girl has arrived. Young Master, as the new lord, you need to pay a visit to Noli Steam and Mechanical College in half a month. Due to your special status, you can visit all students
Choose one of them to be your secretary. Being the secretary of a lord is the honor of most of their lives."
"Of course, I don't recommend that you choose a noble son, or based on his appearance. The young master is a bit uneasy at this age. After all, young master, you need a secretary-general who can help you handle your affairs, not a secretary-general who can only
A girl just for decoration." Naples glanced at Xavier and said very seriously.
“I know.”
At that time, there were countless beautiful girls at St. Nothir's College, including Ling Lan's icy beauty, Dan Feng Bo Luo's elegance, Bai De Ding Ding's arrogance, Dania Bo's fiery temperament, and Mondiaca's reserve. Each of them
Girls can be found in St. Norther, the largest Royal Academy in the Holy City. Among them are arrogant and youthful aristocratic girls, as well as low-level girls with low self-esteem.
But it was in such a place that Xavier Cadance, the "illegitimate son of Rose", "genius of the Rose family", "secretary of the Four-Party Conference" and "the youngest cardinal of the Cross" that countless girls had been waiting for, chose a man!
João Siferit, "the only one in the history of St. Nose who scored 7 points in theology and perfect scores in mathematics", returned to his hometown in Baddantin and was beaten up by his father, the priest. He was worried about his future and received a letter from him.
Letters from the Faraway Rose Family.
"Well, that's good." Naples glanced at Xavier suspiciously. He knew very well that boys of Xavier's age liked the kind of beautiful and cute girls the most. Maybe he would really let a girl with no ability
Being his own secretary. After all, Xavier's impression in his mind has not been completely restored.
After finishing breakfast with Naples, Xavier asked Naples to sort out the trade situation of Norway in recent years. As for the extreme cold storm, he left it to Arthur who had been idle. When the idle and panicked knight commander knew that he finally had
During the mission, Xavier could see the joy in his eyes.
"How is Yeluo?" Xavier was flipping through some scrolls compiled by Naples in the living room on the top floor. He had to say that this living room met his requirements very well.
It is narrow but has everything it should have, a wooden desk and a glass window that can look into the distance. This kind of design Xavier can only see in the top design of the spiral tower of Telos, one of the former bishops and the current archbishop.
Pass.
But thinking of Telos, Xavier stroked his face with the end of his quill. He received the news about Gray Court's coup as soon as possible. Did Archbishop Augustine really step down like this?
Xavier didn't believe it. He had seen Augustine. His eyes were very deep, like an endless abyss. That was the first time Xavier was frightened by other people's eyes. It was Augustine's strategy and overall view. That was when
The result of decades of hard work under extremely high talent.
During the few years of Augustine's reign, the position of the Holy Church in Santinoa was completely consolidated. For the first time in a true sense, the Holy Church surpassed the imperial power, and it was not something that people like Telos could compare with.
"Your Highness, Miss Ye Luo should still be in the bathroom." The maid who walked in replied. She secretly looked at Xavier with some curiosity. This new lord is so young! The little maid murmured in her heart.
"No need to call her miss, she is also a maid." Xavier wrote something on the parchment scroll.
But who dares to do that? It has spread among the maids, okay? Miss Yeluo must be your personal possession, Lord Lord! The little maid stuck out her tongue: "Okay, Ni'er has remembered it."
"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door of the living room suddenly.
"Your Highness, I have found the person you want!"
Xavier raised his eyebrows in surprise. The person outside the door was Arthur. Did he not expect that he would find the person he needed so quickly?
