Lawrence asked the butler about family affairs because his adoptive father had never introduced him to the family background, so he didn't know anything about these things. So Lawrence felt that now was the perfect opportunity to ask this question.
What is the specific situation at the housekeeper's house?
After all, in this case, they are likely to go to the Old World to attend his uncle's funeral, and the funeral of a noble will know that there will be a large number of condolence guests. In this case, as a close relative of the deceased, the family situation
It would be too rude if you don't know much about it.
"Master, didn't you tell the young master the history and glory of our family?" After listening to Lawrence's words, Butler Bayer turned his neck quickly and looked at Mr. Lambert with agility that was inappropriate for his age. "You.
Why don’t you tell the young master these things?”
"After all, I chose to treat myself as an ordinary person after I left home." At this point, Mr. Lambert gently patted Lawrence on the shoulder and looked at Butler Bayer and said. "In this way, my
Naturally, my son is also an ordinary person. There is no need to know these things to cause trouble. Besides, my son is doing very well on his own and does not need any help from the family."
"You are right. The young master is indeed very powerful now. I even think he is one of the best in our family. At least no one in the family except the first Earl of Sauer can achieve such an achievement at such a young age.
." After listening to Mr. Lambert's words, Butler Bayer's face also showed pride and pride from the bottom of his heart. For this butler who has worked in the family for several generations, seeing outstanding family members treat him so well
It's a very happy thing.
But soon he regained his serious expression and looked at Mr. Lambert and said: "But I think Master, you still need to tell your children about the glorious tradition of the family. This is the glory of the August family. I think it should be
He passed it on."
"Okay, I will take the time to tell my son these things." Mr. Lambert spread his hands and shrugged, then looked at Butler Beyer and asked. "But now can you tell me the reason why you came here in person this time?
I believe that if it were just my brother who passed away, you wouldn’t have been asked to take the trans-oceanic space teleportation array to inform me of the news.”
"Because now the family needs the young master to take charge personally." Butler Bayer showed a very serious expression. "Now the Earl's Mansion is in chaos because of the Earl's death, and the lady is too sad to take charge of the affairs of the family. It's very
Someone needs to take over the responsibility of presiding over the affairs of the Earl's Palace, and you are the most suitable one."
"Why not let my two nephews receive you? After all, they are my brother's first and second heirs." Mr. Lambert suddenly felt something was wrong, because in this case, it is often the next earl.
Come to preside over family affairs, and there will basically be no chaos.
"Because His Excellency Conrad's two young masters are missing -" Butler Bayer was interrupted by Mr. Lambert before he could finish his words, and then Mr. Lambert said a little impatiently, "Okay, let's put everything together."
Let’s talk about all the wrong things in detail, starting with my brother’s death.”
Previously, Mr. Lambert had obviously noticed that the cause of his brother's death was a bit strange, but as the third member of the succession to the title, according to custom, he should not interfere in this matter before his brother's two sons sent out invitations.
But now after learning that his two nephews were missing, he immediately became nervous.
In this world, the partners of extraordinary beings and nobles are not limited to one person, but Count Sauer only has one wife to bear two legal sons, and the two sons have no legal children because they are not married. So in his case
Now that his two sons are missing, Mr. Lambert, as the third heir, should shoulder the responsibility of the family. This is why Butler Bayer traveled all the way to the New World.
"Master, the situation is like this." Because he hoped to find Mr. Lambert to solve the family problem, after Lawrence's adoptive father asked, Butler Bayer told him what he had encountered before like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
According to the butler, after the sudden death of Earl Sauer, the extraordinary people present immediately checked the body, but found nothing abnormal. At the same time, they also sent people to notify the Earl's two sons, but the strange thing was that the notifier
After entering the count's mansion in the capital, I learned that the count's two sons had gone hunting, but they found nothing after searching the hunting grounds.
"I think this is probably someone who is targeting our August family." Butler Bayer expressed his conjecture after talking about what happened in the family before. As a professional butler of a noble family, he has seen many people.
There are fewer plots and tricks, so I will naturally think in this direction whenever something happens.
"What you said makes sense, Grandpa Bayer." Lawrence answered immediately after expressing his thoughts at Bayer's house, and then talked in detail about the attack he encountered on the way back here. Now that I think about it, that group of people
It was obviously aimed at killing Lawrence and his companions, but because they probably seriously underestimated the combat effectiveness of Lawrence and Saphire due to incomplete information collection, they ended up killing people.
"Are you saying that those killers were probably professional soldiers in the past?" Butler Bayer frowned after hearing Lawrence's analysis. "Although the Earl is now serving in the palace, he also serves as the vice president of the House of Nobles.
. But in reality, it was just dealing with some miscellaneous matters, and it did not obviously offend anyone or any group!"
"The most important thing is that our August family is the descendant of the illegitimate son of a certain emperor of the Holy Visby Empire, so we naturally belong to the emperor's faction. Therefore, after receiving the hint that the emperor wanted to centralize power in the first half of last year, we simply put ourselves
After handing over the territory, he went to the capital to become a palace noble. And a palace noble without a territory generally won't be watched."
With the continuous development of science and technology, the original layers of aristocratic feudal control gradually began to fail to adapt to the rapidly increasing development of productivity, and even the differences between different aristocratic territories had a counterproductive effect on the development of productivity. Therefore, anyone with some ideas
All rulers will choose to gradually centralize power to promote the development of the country.
As the emperor's faction, the August family naturally chose to respect the emperor's ideas at this time. In addition, the current Earl of Sauer himself was not a person who loved power. Therefore, two years ago, the current Earl of Sauer chose to
His territory was handed over to the state, and only his noble title and family property were retained.
After learning that his uncle had given up the territory and handed it over to the country, Lawrence thought of a possibility. Then he asked his father and the family steward. "Do you think this recent series of events is caused by those who want to maintain their rights?"
What happened to the nobles? After all, what my uncle did was really unfriendly to those nobles who hold real power and do not want to give up their independent status."
"Your thinking is actually because you are not a noble, so you don't understand what's going on here." Butler Bayer shook his head and said. "Our family has always been a branch of the royal family and a subordinate family directly subordinate to the emperor.
.So what orders the emperor gives us to carry out are completely in line with the principle of hierarchy within the nobility. Therefore, it is impossible for those nobles to exclude us because of this."
"Or to be precise, our family has always had a bad relationship with the nobles of the noble faction because we are the emperor's faction, but they also admit that as the emperor's direct vassal, we obey the emperor's orders and it is in line with the rules of the aristocracy. So then
The nobles may hate the earl because of this matter, but they will never cause such a thing."
Butler Bayer's words made things even more confusing. He must admit that Butler Bayer was right. The aristocratic system is based on strict feudal relationships between upper and lower classes. Therefore, even if they dislike the nobles sent by the emperor very much,
But we must also agree with the attitude of these nobles to be loyal to the superior nobles or the emperor, because doing so is also maintaining the existence and contact of the entire noble class.
But what makes Lawrence feel a little confused is that other than this reason, he really doesn't know who has the motive behind the scenes to make the entire Earl's family become what it is now.
