In the UK, there has always been a call that the UK has long since stopped needing the royal family, and simply let the old lady and her family do what they want. Such a call was even supported by some hereditary nobles.

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that these nobles are actually nobles who are in poor industrial management, under great economic pressure, and even on the verge of bankruptcy.

Of course, there are many people in Britain who oppose the abolition of the royal family, including those who benefit from the royal assets entrusted to the government, and lifelong aristocrats such as Phoebe's prevailing Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman was very satisfied with Phoebe's straightforward remark that "many assets remain in the hands of the government in the name of the royal family, which will do more harm than harm to Britain", although he knew that the entire aristocratic circle was suspected of slapping the face of all the nobles on matters of etiquette. But as a lifelong nobleman rather than a member of the hereditary aristocracy, he is more supportive of Phoebe, after all, his superior minister is still quite annoying sometimes, and the heiress of the Lorek family, although it did hit everyone's face, but through Phoebe's performance in the past few days, he was really conquered by Phoebe, and thought that Phoebe was indeed more qualified to be a nobleman than everyone - of course, the premise of all this is that Phoebe has the blood of the Lake family and belongs to the aristocratic class that has been passed down for more than ten centuries.

Although Phoebe's journey was arduous, the Ombudsman felt that he was a proud person to be part of the trip, so he was the only one in the team who was not subordinate to Phoebe, but he did not complain at all because of the hardship.

Of course, he was not without curiosity about Phoebe, he was just doing it when he was patrolling the territory before, and now that he has been on the road for two days, Phoebe can still insist on wearing full-body armor, and even participate in the vigil in person according to the rules, which makes people wonder if Phoebe's armor is not armor, but power armor - of course, this is just a joke, in fact, he has seen what Phoebe armor looks like, so he understands that it is just ordinary lord knight armor.

Knowing that Phoebe's body shape was proportionate at best, rather than a sturdy Ombudsman, he was really curious about how Phoebe persevered, and of course he was also a little curious about whether Phoebe could hold on to the end.

Therefore, when it was discovered that Phoebe had taken on the last vigil the next day and had his men rest, the prosecutor, who had been woken up by the sound of the stonemason going to sleep, couldn't help it.

Of course, the relationship and position between the Ombudsman and Phoebe was not enough for him to ask Phoebe straight to the point if she could persevere, after all, this time his question looked more like underestimating Phoebe, and in the aristocracy, contempt was quite a serious provocation, and the Ombudsman wanted to avoid this situation anyway, so he would first ask Phoebe what she thought of the royal family.

After all, when a consensus is reached on some things, even people with different positions can continue to talk.

As for why he chose to ask Phoebe what he thinks of the royal family, it's not because he's the royal family's etiquette inspector, but because he doesn't actually know Phoebe, let alone what topics Phoebe will be interested in - of course he knows that Phoebe participated in a singer group in South Korea, but the problem is that everyone knows that the aristocratic circle is also making fun of Phoebe about this, so it's naturally impossible for him to talk to Phoebe about girlhood, what if Phoebe misunderstands? - In this case, it is naturally a topic about the royal family, and it is easier to maintain the atmosphere of the conversation.

- Look, not only at the economic level, but also at the chat level, the British royal family also has its existential value.

In fact, Phoebe didn't talk much with the Ombudsman that night, but Phoebe found that the Ombudsman chatted with herself mainly on some more principled issues, for example, Phoebe's attitude towards the royal family can not be good enough, but the Ombudsman also made it clear that Phoebe is very supportive of the royal family's notification structure, and for example, Phoebe prefers to stand on the side of the royal family than on the side of the nobles in the entire system...... Although these principles sometimes seem to contradict Phoebe's previous way of doing things, both Phoebe who answered and the ombudsman who asked the question understood that this kind of private communication was the basis for future cooperation. Even through this brief chat, the Ombudsman understood before Jeffrey the reason why he was brought out by Phoebe - Phoebe wanted Geoffrey to be her spokesperson in the British aristocratic circle.

As for the reason, it is naturally because Phoebe does not want to give other noble floating islands after giving the royal family a medium-sized floating island, and even the small Phoebe is not ready to give it.

Of course, this conversation also made Phoebe understand some of the royal family's attitudes, for example, the royal family did want to take the opportunity to take back the land of the Lorek family, but with the appearance of Phoebe, the royal family's attitude has also changed.

After all, everyone knows that the Knights of the Garter have long been transformed into a group that directly restricts the expansion of the royal family's power, and in the era of financial capital, the Knights of the Garter have become the group with the greatest restrictions on the financial activities of the royal family in the financial field.

Therefore, the royal family is actually secretly happy about the introduction of Phoebe, a foreign nobleman with a certain status in the United States, after all, the Rowrec family was very unpopular in the aristocratic circle before, whether it was England, Scotland or Wales, it was known that the Lorek family became a real territorial nobleman by betraying the previous Grand Duke of Wales, and this Grand Duke carried out terrorist activities in order to resist the tyranny of England...... Therefore, it is actually difficult for the Rollek family to integrate into the aristocratic circle, and Phoebe is still an Asian, so the status of the Lorek family in the aristocratic circle will not change much.

And the royal family originally planned to win over Phoebe by changing the attitude of suppressing the Rorek family that was in line with the idea of the entire aristocratic circle - after all, Phoebe gave the royal family a floating island, although she repeatedly emphasized that it was a ship, but no matter what, Phoebe was still worth winning over - but what she didn't expect was that Phoebe came up like a mad dog and scolded the royal family first, that is, the old lady of the royal family who bullied her seventies and eighties.

However, the aristocratic circle, including the royal family, realized that this matter can be seen on the surface: as an orphan, Phoebe is revenge on the old woman Rorek, who was bullied by the royal family before, the only relative of Phoebe who has a blood connection.

In essence, both the royal family and the aristocratic circle understand that the heir of the Lorek family, who is from Asia and adopted by the American diplomatic family, is not easy to mess with, and what makes the aristocratic circle even more dumb is that the vast majority of people only remembered that the rules used in the inheritance ceremony of their own year did not conform to the rules after Phoebe asked to complete the inheritance ceremony in accordance with classical etiquette.

In this regard, after the royal family spent the initial dissatisfaction with Phoebe's attitude, they were keenly aware that Phoebe was not really scolding herself, but other nobles, because the queen's succession ceremony that year, because the royal family changed its name during World War I, which is equivalent to changing a dynasty, that is, the royal family can use the succession etiquette used during World War I.

In terms of legitimacy, in addition to the royal family, only Phoebe, the future Count of Lorek, is truly legitimate, and everyone else needs to re-carry out the inheritance ceremony, or, if the physical strength is no longer enough, they can only quickly give way to the younger heir, so that the title can be legally inherited.

In other words, through this move, Phoebe also planted remote-controlled bombs in various families in the entire aristocratic circle - the reason why it is not a time bomb is because it depends on whether the royal family supports the wishes of those young heirs.

Although they have not yet communicated with each other more deeply, Phoebe has already given two big gifts to the British royal family, so the royal family will naturally not be angry at Phoebe's seemingly offensive attitude towards the old lady, but will seriously try to communicate with Phoebe more deeply.

During the previous territorial inspection, the bishop from Westminster was actually the first wave of observers of the royal family, and Phoebe mentioned at that time that in fact, the queen's side could appropriately simplify some etiquette, which is undoubtedly a very good signal, if there is no signal, the etiquette inspector will not take the initiative to talk to Phoebe.

Of course, the Ombudsman can be awarded the title of lifetime nobleman by the royal family because he is strong enough, so after communicating with the bishop who baptized Phoebe, he has been thinking about how to start a real conversation with Phoebe.

Undoubtedly, it is the best time to take advantage of other people's sleep, and when he figured this out, he found that the night watch time arranged by Phoebe was actually prepared to create a dialogue window with himself.

To his delight, in the first conversation, he and Phoebe, representing the royal family, reached some basic consensus, which laid a solid foundation for future conversations and even cooperation - although this may seem like diplomatic rhetoric, it is the only way to describe that conversation correctly.

After everything has the first time, it is much easier to come again, for example, in the next few days, after Phoebe said that Geoffrey would stay in London for a long time, the Ombudsman suddenly showed great interest in Jeffrey, and Jeffrey also through the performance of the Ombudsman, finally noticed the reason why Phoebe brought himself, and this did not make him feel uncomfortable, but because he could continue to stay in Europe, he was faintly happy - of course, Phoebe clearly warned him, looking for a woman to accompany him, but the marriage partner can only be from the family, In this regard, Jeffrey has actually realized it for a long time, at least compared to the previous situation, it is much better now.

As for Barbara, who saw all this, she secretly sighed to Phoebe: "Did you use some kind of trick to bring me and Ebron together in the first place?" ”

"Of course not."

Barbara didn't believe it: "I'm weird, Ebron liked me when he was a child, and then he himself actually gave up a long time ago, but then he ...... You really haven't contributed to this? ”

"There really isn't...... Well, I did tell him in the past, if you can't catch up now, it may be that you are not optimistic about him, it is better to press the emotions you like for the time being, try to make some achievements, and then chase you, and then I will tell you ......"

The corners of Barbara's mouth jumped: "Just say, 'I can do this because you ignore me, and so that you can remember me, so I have to do something big', huh?" ”

"Huh? He really told you......"

Phoebe ...... My Highness, have you envisioned the present situation from that time? Barbara wasn't angry, but asked.

Phoebe shook her head: "Of course not, I just comforted Emrun based on what I saw, and you know, I didn't know who you were until you brought the Manifestation Gem, let alone imagine what you are now." ”

Barbara wrinkled her nose and said, "Hmm...... All right...... But I might be happier if you said that you had been thinking about keeping me with you from that time on. ”

Phoebe gave her a blank look and said, "Do you remember the year the Breston Woods system was established?" ”

"1944 year. What's wrong? Barbara was stunned.

"Then do you remember the year in which the system dismantled?" Phoebe asked again.

Barbara tilted her head: "1971." ”

"There was a gap of 28 years. Barbara, do you think that in 1944, the people who built the Bretton Woods system were prepared for the collapse of the system in 28 years? Phoebe asked.

Barbara laughed first: "How is this possible...... But what do you mean by that? ”

Phoebe shrugged: "Then let me tell you one thing, the petrodollar credit monetary system in 1971 almost collapsed 28 years later, in 1999, but it did not collapse. The reason is that China has helped stabilize the financial markets in the Asian region, so that the market has retained the last vestiges of confidence in the world economy. So, is it possible to think that the same people who built the petrodollar system foresaw the crisis 28 years later, so in 1972, Nixon began to engage with China, and then established diplomatic relations with China, which led to China 28 years later, in 1999, when China became the cornerstone of the last vestiges of confidence in the world economy? ”

"......" Barbara looked at Phoebe dumbfounded, although she knew that Phoebe was joking with herself this time, but the logic that Phoebe said could not be completely overturned.

Phoebe nodded and said: "So, if you think that China and the United States have established some kind of invisible economic strategic cooperation since 1979, then you think that I have thought about your current path since I was a child, and there is nothing that you can't say, but if you think it is not, to be honest, I really didn't think about you and Ebron when I was a child." ”

"......" Barbara finally rolled her eyes and nodded.

And Geoffrey, who heard the conversation between Phoebe and Barbara just now, and the Ombudsman, looked at each other - the two have a good relationship these days.

"Miss Rorek has always been like this?" The Ombudsman asked in a low voice.

Jeffrey smiled bitterly: "Well, she's the smartest person I've ever met, and she has a great memory, and when she argues with her, she can make you dizzy at any time if she wants to." ”

The Inspector nodded slightly, as if he was talking to Ebron, and as if muttering to himself, "This is the ability that nobles should really have......"

Hearing the words of the Ombudsman, Jeffrey seemed to feel something, looked at the back of Phoebe in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.
