"Lord Viscount likes rules. When you go in, say what you should say, don't say what you shouldn't say, do what you should do, and don't do anything extra!" Knight West, wearing neat and clean armor, looked like
A peacock, ready to be visited at any time, spoke meticulously.
"Yes, Sir Knight West!" Andrew Gretel responded obediently.
Knight West looked at Andrew strictly again, his eyes passing by his fearful and longing eyes. Knight West had seen this kind of look many times, those who tried to gain the favor of the Viscount by relying on speculation.
This is the look in people’s eyes!
Haha, but they have no idea that strength is the foundation of everything! Knight West sneered in his heart.
His eyes continued to move down Andrew's body, falling on Andrew's old clothes, and his brows couldn't help but frown.
To be fair, Gretel's family is also a wealthy family in the small village of Nisei. The clothes Andrew wears are much better than those of ordinary villagers. Many villagers have holes in their clothes and are reluctant to throw them away!
Because once you throw it away, there will be no clothes left to wear!
Although Andrew's clothes are old, at least they don't have any holes!
However, even so, it could not catch the eyes of Knight West.
Knight West is a man who sets high standards, whether for himself or for other civilians, of course not including people like Viscount Green.
But in any case, Andrew is not one of those exceptions.
Therefore, Knight West's face became even more ugly.
Andrew became more and more cautious, fearing that one of his inadvertent actions might trigger a volcanic eruption!
I don’t know how many days he has been here, but Andrew is living like a year, with cold sweat as thin as an ox’s hair breaking out on his back.
Then I heard the extremely dissatisfied voice of Knight West, "Go in!"
Andrew was relieved and walked into the Swan Hall of New Weir Castle timidly.
The place where Viscount Green entertained guests.
There were lit rosin candles as thick as fingers, a silver-white fireplace, a thick gilt-patterned floor, and a Trisian goat rug embroidered with black swans spread on the floor.
Where had Andrew seen such a luxurious thing?
The best building he has ever seen in his life is Patra’s Papa Kool’s Tavern!
How can Papa Cool's Tavern be compared with Viscount Green's mansion?
One thing after another overwhelmed him, impacting his poor knowledge.
Andrew was confused for a moment.
He raised his head blankly and saw a long rectangular dining table.
At the head of the table, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with gold patterns and an elegant beard was concentrating on using a silver knife to deal with the bloody steak on the silver plate in front of him.
This person is none other than the owner of New Wel Castle and the ruler of Patras City, Viscount Green.
On the right side of Viscount Grien, stood a strict and capable steward. His head was slightly bald, and his short hair was neatly combed, like an army waiting to be inspected. His body stood up straight, like a soldier.
A high-spirited tree, looking straight ahead, with one hand raised and a white napkin hanging on it, waiting to serve his master at any time!
Bill! This name flashed through Andrew's mind.
He heard the rough citizens talk about this man in Father Cool's tavern. He was Viscount Green's butler and his right-hand man, and their relationship was like that of Baron Dickas and Old John.
Butler Bill assists Viscount Green in managing his territory in an orderly manner, and Viscount Green repays the trust!
Andrew couldn't help but glance at Butler Bill a few more times.
Facing Andrew's impolite gaze, Butler Bill's expression remained unchanged at all, like a statue.
On the other hand, Knight West, who walked next to Viscount Green, had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and a cold snort came out of his nose.
Andrew felt soft all over after hearing this, and he couldn't help but have thoughts of regret in his heart. Why did he listen to Adams in the first place?
Just at this time, Viscount Green also looked over.
Andrew and Viscount Green looked at each other, and their expressions of calmness made Andrew's heart beat fast, and he knelt down uncontrollably.
Andrew's dirty clothes made a thud when they came into contact with the gilded patterned floor, and Viscount Green and Butler Bill who were present frowned.
Knight West's face showed even more sullenness. He was the one who brought Andrew in. He had no sense of propriety and was just embarrassing him.
He raised his feet and wanted to walk up to Andrew and throw out this untouchable who had embarrassed him in front of Viscount Green.
Unexpectedly, Viscount Green waved his hand slightly to stop his actions.
Knight West could only stand there, staring at the trembling Andrew with evil eyes: If you embarrass me again, I will make you lose face!
Andrew's body was completely weak!
Viscount Green picked up the napkin from Butler Bill's arm, wiped the corners of his mouth that were not very oily slowly, and then put the wiped napkin on the table. Then he said to Andrew, "You are Nisei Village
people?"
Viscount Green's voice is hoarse and magnetic, making people feel very comfortable and aristocratic!
This was the thought that flashed through Andrew's mind.
"Yes, Lord Viscount, my name is Andrew, Andrew Grete. The eldest son of the old Grete who delivered the letter! I..."
Knight West interrupted Andrew's chatter mercilessly with a cold snort, making Andrew tremble with fear again.
"Whatever the Viscount asks you, just answer it! You don't need to talk so much!"
Viscount Green did not stop his knight West from speaking, which showed that he was also dissatisfied with Andrew's answer.
After a pause, Viscount Green asked again, "I heard that your Baron Dickas plans to stay in the small village of Nisei this winter?"
"Yes, Lord Viscount!" Andrew glanced at Knight West secretly, and this time he did not dare to say more.
Viscount Green couldn't help but smile after hearing this. Even the mocking smile was full of aristocratic elegance, "This baron of yours is really brave!"
"Sir Viscount, maybe he is not brave, but stupid! Stupid people always regard their stupidity as courage, just like he rejected the kindness you handed over!" Knight West pursed his lips slightly and said.
He is Viscount Green's confidant and has a certain say.
"Knight West, speaking ill of a noble of the duchy behind his back is not what a knight should do." Viscount Green said something to criticize Knight West, but looking at him, it didn't look like he was being criticized.
criticize!
"Yes, Lord Viscount, I need to reflect on myself!" Knight West replied, without any sign of self-reflection on his face.
Butler Bill was unmoved.
Andrew was as scared as a rat.
No one present could or dared to accuse them.
"Okay, let's listen to what this gentleman, this Mr. Andrew, has to say." Viscount Green did not forget the business and turned his attention back to Andrew, who had his head lowered.
"Mr. Andrew, can you tell me specifically about the situation of Baron Dickas?" Viscount Grien's eyes were sincere and his tone was unquestionable.
"Um...Okay...Of course, Lord Viscount, it's my honor!" Seeing Andrew's tendency to talk at length again, Knight West, who was in the process of self-reflection, gave a warning look.
Andrew's body tensed up and he quickly said in short words, "Baron Dickas decided to spend the winter in the small village of Nisei. Not only that, he also wanted to collect 40% of the land rent and asked us to spend the winter with him in the small village of Nisei. If the winter
If we don’t stay in the small village of Nisei, Baron Dickas will take back our fields! Without the fields to cultivate, we will have no harvest!”
"Absurd! Even if you have the land, what can you do if you don't even have your life?" Knight West sneered with disdain.
"Yes, Sir Knight, we think so too! But Baron Dickas doesn't think so!" Andrew was quite dissatisfied when he talked about this. "He seems to have made up his mind to stay in the small village of Nisei. This time he
He also sent his most loyal butler, Old John, to Patras City to purchase supplies!”
Andrew leaked this information without hesitation.
Neither Knight West nor Viscount Green showed any surprise on their faces, they must have known the news for a long time!
Andrew's face changed, and he quickly begged, "Sir Viscount, please come out and uphold justice. The lives of three hundred people in the small village of Nisei cannot be ruined by Baron Dickas' willful actions! With your prestige, Baron Dickas will definitely
I won’t violate it!”
"Andrew, I have no right to interfere in the territorial affairs of another noble. That is a violation of the laws of the principality!" Viscount Green said sternly.
A bitter look suddenly appeared on Andrew's face.
However, Viscount Green changed the topic and said, "However, civilians have the right to buy and sell freely, and the city of Patras also welcomes every guest from afar and provides them with a safe haven!"
Andrew was stunned, then showed a look of ecstasy, and kept thanking Viscount Green, "Thank you, Lord Viscount, thank you, Lord Viscount..."
"Well! In the Harvest Moon, my knights will leave with their guardians. But before that, Andrew, I need you to report the situation of Baron Dickas to me at any time. Can you do it?"
The Viscount looked down at Andrew.
"Yes, Lord Viscount, I can definitely do it!" Andrew nodded desperately.
"Well! You go back first." Viscount Green nodded with satisfaction, and then sent Andrew away.
After Andrew left, Viscount Green looked at the place where Andrew had been kneeling just now, with a look of disgust in his eyes, and ordered Butler Bill next to him, "Bill, go shovel out the floor in that position and lay it with new ones."
The floor! Smells like a pariah!"
"Yes, Lord Viscount!" Bill bowed and responded.
At this time, Knight West also asked strangely, "Lord Viscount, I don't understand why you want to do this?"
"This is the rule of the nobility, West!" Viscount Green has always been tolerant towards his confidant, "not to mention he is the son of Grand Duke Odyssey VII!"
"He's just an under-appreciated son." West smiled scornfully, "A majestic baron from the duchy has only a few followers and not even a bodyguard! How despised is this by His Highness the Grand Duke!"
"No matter what his status is in the eyes of His Highness the Grand Duke, he is always the son of His Highness the Grand Duke, and he has the blood of the Odyssey family in him, so we must leave room for it!" Viscount Green said, "Besides, don't you think so?
Is it interesting?"
"Interesting? Lord Viscount, I don't understand."
"Think about it, West, when the harvest moon comes, all the villagers in the small village of Nisei are only willing to come to my city of Patras, and only the scene of Baron Decas remains in the whole village. Think about it, then
What fun it would be!”
There are always fewer and fewer happy things. Viscount Green must find some fun for himself, find a new fun besides women and delicious food!
Knight West was stunned, but also laughed, "Lord Viscount, I think that must be an interesting scene that can guarantee the joy of Patras City throughout the winter!"
