Lear was still smiling when he saw this scene, "A bunch of useless garbage, my purpose in getting Moore promoted was to fish, I didn't expect you to take the bait so quickly." Just now, they were like good babies, and as soon as the general left, he immediately attacked me. I thought it was some kind of trick, nothing more than an attempt to undermine my prestige, and then hollow me out and force me to give up the management of Port Lear. I'm sure this Winston is definitely one of the masterminds of the local forces that plotted the fake Lear. ”

His trick is similar to Zhao Gao's pointing deer for horses, first take the initiative to do something wrong, whoever dares to come out to accuse, he will hit whoever he wants, so as to warn others. So when he promoted Moore, the butler, the general, and Humphrey were surprised.

It is normal for the new nobility of the territory to have friction with the lords, and even the royal family sees it most originally. Stronger lords can do whatever they want, but weak lords are likely to be hollowed out.

People are good and are deceived by others.

Although Ness was small, she also knew who the old guy was aiming for, and she was so angry that she was even more angry than she was wronged and scolded, and her little fists were clenched tightly. She was about to rush to help Brother Lear, but was stopped by Baron Humphrey, who had a relaxed smile on his face.

Lear laughed and said, "I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake." Baron Winston, you are angry with a common man, and you have no gentlemanly manners at all. I have decided to cancel Moore's mandate today. Moore, you were so rude just now, go outside and introspect. ”

Moore bowed and left the castle hall.

Rather than be carried away by the victory, Winston was more vigilant - he could not believe that a fifteen-year-old could laugh if he was treated like this, unless the other person was a fool.

Winston snorted coldly, turned and walked back to where the high-ranking officials in Port Lear were. As soon as he returned, most of the people in that direction toasted him, and only a few looked at Lear in a dilemma. However, there were also many people who were close to them who had gone farther away, most of whom were agents of the merchants of Port Lear and other nobles in Port Lear.

Lear sighed softly.

"I have spared you for creating a false heir, and I can pretend not to see you in private. Winston, I even intended to take a step back, so that you and I can meet in the future, but you are so aggressive and take the initiative to provoke me, then, let's all fight. Let's see if you're a good financial secretary, or if I'm a traverser!"

Lear took the last sip of his wine and was about to leave when a group of young nobles stopped him. These aristocrats were men and women, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-six, and by looking at their clothes, they knew that they were either "the second generation of nobles" or "the second generation of merchants".

The young man at the head was the first in line to the throne of a baron near Lear's domain, Lord Zakir. His father had worked with Count Lear for many years, and he was a leading figure among the children of the nearby nobility - of course, compared to Lear, he was a rich man.

Zakir greeted Lear warmly, and then introduced his friends one by one, focusing on his cousins, who had paid a fortune to send them a magical message to come to the banquet when he heard that Count Lear had been knighted.

Although Lear had never attended such a banquet, he was not stage frightened, and had a very pleasant conversation with his peers. It's not that he's too powerful, but in a world where there is no perfect education system or even basic education, his cultural literacy is definitely far beyond his peers, and only professors from aristocratic colleges can reach his heights.

He lives in the age of the Internet, and the amount of information he has far exceeds that of these small nobles who have never even been to the imperial capital, plus he has Lear's memory and is familiar with the banquet process, in just a few minutes, he has the initiative to talk and control the rhythm of all conversations.

He recounted his experiences in the mercenary regiment, and almost all of them were very cooperative and admired from time to time, especially the unmarried girls, whose eyes were full of spring breath - these women, since puberty, had the goal of life to marry a powerful nobleman and then have an affair with a handsome, young, tall, strong knight. Of course, it would be better if the powerful nobles were handsome and young at the same time, but they knew that there was little hope.

But Lear had everything they wanted, young, powerful, with untold wealth, and a powerful warrior who had killed people, except that he was a little younger, and met all the requirements of the perfect husband in their hearts.

In the distance, little Ness whispered to her mother, "A flock of hens are chirping, Brother Lear will definitely forget about me." ”

Lady Elena chuckled lightly, and said in a tone full of ambiguity, "My dear Niss has grown up, sleep with me tonight, and I will teach you how to be a woman." ”

There were many maids around Niss, and she vaguely understood something, so she immediately lowered her head and blushed and couldn't speak.

When Lear talks about killing a wounded bandit with his own hands, everyone exclaims, except for a young man in his twenties who suddenly sneers, which is particularly harsh.

Lear looked over at the young man and frowned at the sight of the face that resembled Winston.

Zakir immediately rebuked in dissatisfaction: "Paul, pay attention to who you are! You are a gentleman, not an impolite beast!"

Zakir usually has a good relationship with Paul, the grandson of the Financial Secretary Winston, but he himself is the heir to a territory, and he is in the same class as Lear, so he must ensure that he is on the same side as Lear at this time, not to mention that his family mainly relies on Port Lear to make money. He was very dissatisfied with what Winston had just said, and now he found an excuse to immediately lecture Paul unceremoniously.

Paul laughed and said, "Zakir, your words are so hurtful. I just think our Earl Lear is too young, too impulsive, too fond of highlighting his greatness and making innocuous jokes. They were a bunch of outlaws who killed people without blinking, and I believe Count Lear when he said that he killed wounded mid-level warrior bandits, but when he said that he killed them unscathed, and anyone who has practiced swords knows it, I won't go into details. ”

Lear was helpless, he wanted to say that his left arm was injured, and others really wanted to check it, but the result was not left with any scars, and it was even more difficult to deal with.

Zakir snorted, "Are you questioning your lord!"

Still grinning, Paul said, "Of course I don't dare, that's a great sin." I'm just saying what's in my heart. Unless he fights me with a sword, as long as he outbeats me, a mid-level warrior, I believe he has really killed bandits. Otherwise......"

Zakir scolded: "Paul, are you still shameful? You are eight years older than him, and you are embarrassed to challenge Lear? You are so powerful, why don't you go to a life-and-death duel with the general! I am ashamed to have a friend like you! I declare that I have broken off relations with Paul!"

As he spoke, Zakir drew his sword and drew a horizontal line in front of him.

As if he had been slapped in the face, Paul blushed and said angrily, "Zacker, you sycophant bastard!"

Zakir pointed his sword at Paul and said with a gloomy face, "Commoner, are you insulting a lord?"

Paul was speechless. Unless his grandfather was able to obtain a fief before he died, it was almost impossible for him to become a fief nobleman.
