"Harusburg in Alsace is a very old castle, so old that we have to look through the history that is older than the Middle Ages to find traces, but ancient does not mean old-fashioned, on the contrary, our Harusburg is a very changeable family, so it was able to survive the war in Alsace, and finally got the opportunity to be elected king of the Holy Roman Empire.

Zhou Ming and Caitlin followed Louise into Harusburg, and they could hear a loud voice saying loudly, Zhou Ming knew that it was Andre, and this was also because this castle was not big, so it could be easily heard.

And the castle is also very old, as André said, and although every inch of the wall has been repaired as much as possible, there is still a sense of vicissitudes in the face when you look at it. In addition, compared to Harusburg in Bermuda, due to its space and location, it does not have as many collections, but there are more and more historical murals.

Coming to the door leading to the hall, Louise suddenly turned around and said, "Okay, let's go to the door, I don't want Andre to see us go in together, so I'll go in first, you guys will come in later, okay?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said no problem, Louise smiled and praised: "What a good boy!"

Then Louise took her servant in first, and looking at her back as she entered, Caitlin asked curiously, "I know that Aunt Louise is here to keep her distance from us and not to get involved in the internal disputes within the family, but when she was at the door just now, didn't she help us come in?

Zhou Ming held Caitlin's tender little hand and said to her with a smile: "This is not what we need to care about, since she said so, let's do it." ”

Louise's true thoughts Zhou Ming naturally has no way of knowing, but Zhou Ming guesses that she may just do this to express a gesture, that is, she can temporarily surrender to Andre, and does not want to tear her face publicly, and on Andre's side, he can't do anything about this princess for the time being, so Louise's approach is just to leave herself a room to turn around, which is the standard of politicians and aristocrats.

And looking into the hall along Louise, Zhou Ming found that this family gathering in Harusburg was a little different from what he imagined, originally Zhou Ming thought that a thousand-year-old family meeting like Harusburg should be in a huge hall, or a huge round table, or a table like a banquet, but at the moment, this meeting really made Zhou Ming a little disappointed.

Perhaps because this Harusburg is so old, this hall is the size of a basketball court, and it is not as big as the school auditorium when I was a student.

Also due to the lack of space, there were only a few tables and chairs in the hall, and Zhou Ming looked at it, at most, there were only more than ten people sitting, and hundreds of others were standing there. Such a scene made Zhou Ming feel that this was not a meeting of nobles, but more like a gangster gathering in Hong Kong City, and maybe even the gathering hall of the heroes of Liangshan would be much more standardized than this.

For such a situation, Zhou Ming thought that it might be due to the decline of the Harusburg family, and of course it could also be the hierarchical concept within their family.

When Zhou Ming observed the situation, Louise had already walked into the hall: "I'm very sorry, it seems that I am late!"

Of course, Louise said this to Andre who held this meeting, and following Louise's direction, Zhou Ming finally saw that Andre.

I have to say that the image of this Andre is also a little contrary to Zhou Ming's previous expectations, originally Zhou Ming thought that he and Caitlyn were the top two heirs, so how could he be the same age as Caitlin, a young talent, but he didn't expect it to be a middle-aged man with a beard, God knows how the inheritance order of this family is.

André stood on the only podium in the hall, and when he heard Louise's voice, he immediately stopped his speech, and he smiled and said: "Of course not, dear Princess Louise, the most basic quality of a gentleman is to be able to accept the tardiness of a lady, and it is an honor that I am a gentleman." ”

Louise thanked him, and then Louise looked around and said, "But there doesn't seem to be a place here, does a gentleman want a lady to stand?"

"This is an act that God will spurn upon, so I have prepared a place for you. ”

Andre said and waved his hand, and someone next to him immediately moved out a set of tables and chairs near the podium, and then Andrei pointed here and said to Louise: "Dear Royal Highness the Princess, this is your place. ”

Louise sat down satisfied, and their exchange also confirmed Zhou Ming's previous guess, sure enough, Andre didn't want to fall out with Louise, and maybe even wanted her support, after all, she was the sister of the former patriarch Ferdinand, and she was a princess, no matter which identity she was, she was the object that Andre had to fight for.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming turned to Caitlyn and said, "Now it's our turn to play." ”

In the hall, André said: "Dear compatriots, when Her Royal Highness the Princess, our esteemed princess, and all our guests have arrived, then we can officially begin this meeting of the Harusburg family......"

Before Andre finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhou Ming: "I'm sorry, respected gentleman Andre, and a very important person has not arrived, she is Her Royal Highness Theresia Caitlin F. Harusburg, the first heir of the Harusburg family!"

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he took the initiative to make way for him, and Caitlin walked out from behind Zhou Ming with her head held high.

And with the appearance of Caitlin, the scene was in an uproar, because no one expected Caitlin to suddenly appear, although in recent years, due to Andre's activities, the existence of Caitlin and their family has become very weak, and even in the final battle with Andre, Ferdinand also lost everything he had, including the last castle in Bermuda, and the hundreds of years of collection in the castle.

But after all, Ferdinand is still the recognized patriarch of the family, and they want to divide the property of the Harusburg family, and it is always a little weak to see Caitlyn appear suddenly.

Andre was the first reaction to look at Louise, such a coincidental appearance, he obviously suspected that the princess was behind the obstruction, but Louise was also an experienced nobleman, and the surprise on his face was just right, so that Andre knew that she was acting, and she could only give up.

Thinking of this, Andre opened his hands: "Caitlyn's arrival is very welcome, but I want to remind you that one of the topics to be discussed in our meeting today is about family succession, so it is a bit premature for you to claim to be the first in line of succession." ”

"So in this way, is it Mr. Andre, do you want to openly usurp power?" Zhou Ming stepped forward and asked.

The word usurpation made Andre frown angrily, but here he was not good at attacking directly, so he asked, "Dear Caitlin, who is this gentleman?"

"He is my husband Zhou Ming. Caitlin said.

When Caitlyn's words came out, the scene was suddenly surprised again, everyone looked at Caitlyn incredulously, and even more incredibly at Zhou Ming, how could they never imagine that they would suddenly get such a message.

On the podium, Andre's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this: "Zhou Ming, I'm sorry, I don't remember that there is such a family in the East, and I don't remember that Harusburg has a plan to marry the East, is he Chinese? Or is he just Chinese?"

"He's Zhou Ming, a native of China, and he doesn't belong to any aristocratic family, he's just my husband!" Caitlyn said.

If Catelyn's arrival and what she said before were just a surprise to everyone, then her words at this moment shocked everyone. Because no one can figure out why the most beautiful heir of the Harusburg family would choose an ordinary husband, God, this is not a fairy tale, how could such a bizarre thing happen?

In the astonishment, only Louise, who knew in advance, was much calmer, but even so, she still stared, and it was clear that Catelyn dared to say it so directly beyond her expectations.

André was the first to come to his senses, and he said to Caitlin, "I don't know what kind of witchcraft this Huaxia man has done to you, but your relationship is not blessed by God. ”

"Then don't let God bless us, let's live our own relationship. Caitlin said nonchalantly.

"Ignorant and naïve!" Andre rebuked, "Do you know what you just said, that kind of blasphemous words will bring disaster to our family, and you are not worthy to be the heir of the House of Harusburg!"

"Dear Mr. Andre, you seem to be too lenient, not to mention that your inheritance is still behind Caitlin, even if you are in the front, before you really inherit the family, you are not qualified to say so!" Zhou Ming kindly reminded him.

Andre gritted his teeth angrily: "This doesn't need your reminder, and when it comes to qualifications, you are the least qualified to speak here!"

Zhou Ming smiled: "It doesn't matter if I am qualified or not, the important thing is that it is enough for my wife Caitlin to have it, because today I am here to help her get back what belongs to us." ”

"You damn Huaxia, you are not qualified to call the women of our Harusburg family as wives, and there is no such thing as you here!" Andre suddenly roared at Zhou Ming, which surprised Zhou Ming a little, but then Andre said calmly, "Caitlin She is indeed qualified to participate in this meeting, but you are too late, and there is no place for you here, so you have to stand outside the door and listen." ”

"As the second heir, and also as a gentleman, Mr. Andre, don't you think you should arrange a place for Caitlin?" Zhou Ming asked.

Andre spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, you saw the situation at the scene." ”

Zhou Ming nodded: "Then in that case, we can only find a position by ourselves, right?"

Andrei instinctively felt a hint of unease, but he still waved his hand: "If you think it's okay, then please." ”

With Andre's permission, Zhou Ming first looked around the hall, and finally put his eyes on the person closest to the podium, Zhou Ming walked over to him and asked politely: "Dear sir, I don't know what you call it?"

The man subconsciously glanced back at Andrei before replying, "I'm Lord Ifarman of Austria." ”

"Hello then Lord Ifarman, it is a great honour for me to meet you here. Zhou Ming greeted first, and then said the words that shocked the audience, "Then please get up and get out of this seat now, because this seat belongs to my wife Caitlin." ”
