After breakfast, the butler brought two new maids. The two new maids were visibly nervous, one taller and more vigorous, with a few freckles on either side of his nose, and the other a handsome young maid, only fifteen or sixteen years of age.

In his opinion, the most important thing for a maid at present is to be honest, and when she is an adult, she will consider other roles of a maid......

Lear went to the Earl's Court to attend to the Earl's court, where he had a meeting with his staff, assistants, and officials from Port Lear to deal with some business, which was called the "morning meeting" at the Earl's court.

He first acts as a "signatory officer" and signs documents that require his authorization. He deliberately showed trust in them, and he didn't even look at the documents they handed them in and signed them.

It took him an hour to sign more than 400 documents.

Subsequently, one important proposal after another came out, which was explained and even debated by the staff and aides, and then everyone voted on it, and finally it was up to him to decide whether to implement it.

Lear feigned curiosity, but rarely expressed his opinion, and relied solely on the results of his subordinates' votes.

He used thunderous means to take down the Winston family, and then he wanted to delegate power and appease people's hearts.

The whole process was carried out in a tense and orderly manner, but a few proposals ignited the morning meeting, and the people present quarreled so much that they almost started a fight.

After a few hours of observation, Lear figured out the basics.

There were four voting senior aides in the Earldom, and eleven senior assistants with voting rights, a fixed number. However, each senior staff member has four votes, and each senior aide can only cast one vote.

In addition to this, there are eight ordinary staff members and twenty ordinary aides - these people usually only come on Mondays, but today is the first day to report.

"Interesting. The status of the staff is half a level higher than that of the assistant, equivalent to the maker of policy or direction, while the assistant is responsible for specific affairs. Staff and assistants have different demands, but the status of staff is high, and more than half of the assistants are acting on the faces of the staff. However, in terms of actual power, it is the assistants who are the link between the earl and the mage, military and administrative power, which makes the entire count group run more efficiently. ”

"They were all very smart, and they deliberately quarreled over a couple of unimportant proposals, which showed me that they weren't really in harmony with each other. They all understand what the higher authorities need, and if they really want to be united, it will only cause me to be wary. ”

"The previous Earl is a smart man, everything seems to be fine at the moment, and I am not going to change the institution of the Earl's Court, and when the auction is over, I will take it one step at a time. ”

"Immortal old woman, do you think that if I govern Port Lear, I am completing the contract? I have already killed one of the real murderers, and the power of the plane will not force me to kill in a short period of time, right?"

"Remove the word 'old'! I think the contract contains two aspects, the first is naturally revenge, killing the descendants of the Sword Saint is very important, it can be said that you have completed a third of the revenge. However, you should know the truth that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and if you can't find the real culprit in the end, you can only wait for death. On the other hand, it is to inherit Count Lear and ensure that the Lear family will not be swallowed by the murderer. Therefore, your participation in the management of Port Lear is not a passive boycott of the contract. "Squire Sword Analysis.

"How much time do you think the power of the plane will give me free time?"

"It's hard to say, but you should be given at least a year, and if you don't act for two years, the power of the plane may warn you, and if you don't move for three years, you will be wiped out directly! ”

"Come on, I only have three years to live now, how can I do it if I don't work hard!"

When it was lunchtime, the morning meeting was over, and Lear and Baron Humphrey's family had a light meal.

After eating, Baron Humphrey tries to take Ness home, but is ultimately rejected by Lady Elena, who decides to stay with Lear until she recovers.

Baron Humphrey felt sorry for his daughter, but he also knew that only Lear could save her, so he had to reluctantly agree, and then asked Lear to take good care of Niss like his father-in-law.

He left Ness with two maids, two junior female swordsmen, and an intermediate female swordsman.

Before leaving, Baron Humphrey tells Lear that he has arranged for a secret guard to secretly protect Ness and keep her from worrying.

After taking a nap, the Covert Knight reports to him the whereabouts of some people and important information, mainly a list of all those involved in creating the fake Lear. Lear is very interested in the Hidden Knights, so he decides not to visit the Noble District today, but to learn all about the Hidden Knights.

The Hidden Knights have two different groups of people, one group of people who hide their identities and act as the last force of the family to strike when the family is in danger. Like the Hidden Knight that Lear found after he left the porcelain shop that day, this is the kind of person. All those exposed that day had left the Hidden Knights and joined the private soldiers and the Knights.

Another group of Hidden Knights are the spies of the Lear family, who gather a variety of information, including civilian information, military intelligence, and special people. The Hidden Knights, although part of the Family Order, are actually only accountable to Count Lear.

For Lear, the Hidden Knights are the most reliable members of the Lear family, as they only serve the current Earl, and have little or no intersection with other family forces and other forces, and will never have an intersection with each other.

Any hidden knight who has a close connection with the family insiders or outside forces will be wiped out with magic at least and directly executed. Moreover, the Hidden Knights have a reward for exposing a colleague who betrays a colleague for a hundred years, as well as a more glamorous appearance and at least one estate.

Those who came to Lear today included the Chief Knight, Adjutant, and Liaison Officer of the Hidden Knights, with the Chief Knight in charge of everything, the Adjutant in charge of sorting out information, and the Liaison Officer reporting to Lear.

All three were natives of Port Lear, and their families were in the Earl's Court, with a slightly higher rank than the chief of the private army or the chief knight. However, their powers are not large, only the power to monitor and gather intelligence, and they do not have the power to mobilize the armed forces.

If there is no general and two fake heirs are discovered, the Hidden Knights will convene all the high-ranking members of the Earl's Court to start a "headless council" vote, and the result will inevitably be that the Earl's Court will go all out to uproot the forces related to the false heirs.

He spent the afternoon learning about the Hidden Knights, and in the evening he changed into his gown and went to the town hall to attend a dinner hosted for him by the officials of Port Lear.

He endured the smell of inferior cosmetics and danced with the ten officials' daughters before leaving the dinner.

Among them, a few girls are really good, but they are all wearing heavy makeup, which makes him lack interest.

Before leaving, he deliberately said in a small but small voice that few people could hear: "I prefer women without makeup, natural beauty can touch men's hearts the most." ”

Back at the Earl's Court, Potions Master West was waiting for him with two contract magic arrays.

West actually broke through while making the contract circle and became a real potions master from this day forward. He believes that everything is due to Master Lear, so he treats Lear with more humility.

"Done?" asked Lear.

"Yes, Master. West held it up to him respectfully.
