"Failed?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In a manor outside the city of Fina, the simply bandaged Conrad stood tremblingly in front of a nobleman in a fancy costume, and the peasant man and others standing not far away had a gloating expression on their faces, while the nobleman in a fancy costume tapped the armrest of the chair rhythmically with his fingers, making a burst of "wave" sounds.
The nobleman in the costume was silent for a long time, and finally said lightly: "Go down, take care of your injuries." ”
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Call! Almost thinking that he was about to be punished, Conrad was greatly relieved, bowed to the nobleman in fine clothes, and turned to leave the room.
After Conrad left, the peasant man put away his gloating expression and stepped forward and asked, "Lord Marquis, what are we going to do next?" ”
"We'll wait and see what happens, and someone will do it for us."
"Yes, Lord Count."
At the same time, in the Marquis of Valentine's estate, Barron Hamill asked the Marquis of Valentine, "Uncle, your plan has failed today, so what are our plans for next?" ”
Marquis Valentine said flatly: "Wait." ”
"Wait? Uncle, what do you mean by that? ”
"The purpose of this dinner held by the Emperor of Waste Wood today is nothing more than to win over some neutral small and medium-sized nobles to continue to enhance the prestige of the royal family, and they will definitely visit those neutral old nobles in the next few days, and all we have to do is wait for them to visit."
"Then why didn't Uncle go to visit the nobles in advance?"
"Hehe, I have my own intentions, I won't let them have a good time." Marquis Valentine smiled faintly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The day after the dinner, Louise and Ye Chen were called to his study by Emperor Frank, "Yesterday's banquet was very successful, many small and medium-sized nobles expressed their willingness to move closer to the royal family, and in the next few days, we will try our best to win the support of some of the old nobles, so Louise will visit the Dano family on behalf of the royal family today and try your best to win their support." ”
"Yes, Father."
As soon as he left Emperor Frank's study, Ye Chen asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to win the support of the Dano family?" Is this Dano family very powerful? ”
"Don't you know?" Louise looked at Ye Chen in surprise, and then knocked on the door of her head with a sudden realization, "Oh, I forgot that you are from another world." ”
Then Louise began to tell Ye Chen about the aristocratic composition of the Connors Empire, the aristocratic rank of the Connors Empire from low to high, mainly divided into five levels of male earls and dukes, and above the duke, there are two levels of archduke and prince who can be hereditary, as for the royal family above these two ranks.
In the aristocratic circle of the Connors Empire, it is customary to locate the rank of the family with the highest noble rank in a family, such as the highest ranking person in the family is a man, the two levels are small nobles, and the two levels are middle nobles, and if it is a duke, it can be called a big noble, as for the grand duke and the prince, it has not been canonized for a long time.
Of course, it is not that there are no families of the two ranks of Grand Duke and Prince in the Connors Empire, the answer is yes, that is, the descendants of the eight knights who once followed the first emperor, and the eight old nobles who formed the noble council, namely Hamill, Dano, Kazan, Trix, Messina, Adams, Goodwin, and Reiner.
Among them, the Dano family and the Hamill family have the strongest background, and the Dano family is slightly superior to the Hamill family in terms of overall strength, but the Dano family has always liked to remain neutral and not participate in any fighting, which allows the Hamill family to control the noble council for a long time.
"Now you understand why my father wants to win the support of the Dano family, right?" Having said so much in one breath, Louise paused for a moment and continued to ask.
You've said so much in one breath, I haven't even digested it to understand a ghost, I really want to say I don't understand, but forget it......
"Well, it's not clear, but it's powerful." Ye Chen nodded with a confused expression, Louise glared at him angrily and said angrily: "Waste this princess's saliva, forget it, let's go." ”
"Where are you going?"
Louise pointed to the southeast of Fina City and said, "To the southeast of Fina City, the territories of these eight families were originally divided by the first emperor around Fina City. ”
Half an hour later, the royal carriage that Ye Chen and Louise were riding slowly stopped at the gate of the Dano family's manor, and as soon as Ye Chen stepped out of the carriage, he shouted: "Damn, this Dano family's territory is really big, my butt hurts when I sit on it!" ”
Louise stepped out of the carriage and glared at Ye Chen fiercely, then turned to a blue-haired middle-aged man standing at the gate of the manor and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Harry, this entourage of mine is not very polite. ”
This middle-aged blue-haired man is the current patriarch of the Dano family, and is known as a model of nobility in the city of Fina.
Harry Dano laughed and said, "It's okay, Her Royal Highness doesn't need to apologize. This must be the brave man from another world, right? This kind of outspoken character, to be honest, I like it a lot, haha! ”
Although Harry Dano was not angry, Louise still bowed slightly, and then walked into the manor with Ye Chen under the guidance of Harry Dano, and when she came to the living room of the manor, Louise asked, "Uncle Harry, isn't Grandpa Warren here?" ”
Warren Dano is currently the Prince of the Connors Empire, the last patriarch of the Dano family, he is easy-going and fun-loving, he was once a famous playboy when he was young, and he became an old urchin when he was old.
Harry Dano smiled helplessly and spread his hands and said: "Her Royal Highness also knows my father's character, and it is completely impossible for him to stay at home, so I guess he will go to play a prank again." ”
"Haha, I understand." Louise smiled and took a sip of the black tea on the table, and then said with a serious face: "Then Uncle Harry, I'll go straight to the point, I hope the Dano family can support our royal family." ”
Seeing Louise's sudden change in momentum, Ye Chen, who was standing behind her, was stunned for a moment and nodded with satisfaction, this girl is not completely stupid and sweet, she looks like a perfect royal princess.
Harry Dano was also stunned by Louise's sudden change, but after all, someone who had seen the wind and waves quickly reacted, and laughed and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you also know the principles of our Dano family, we are ......"
A maid suddenly walked into the parlor and interrupted Harry Dano's words, Harry Dano glanced at the maid with a displeased face, but after the maid whispered in his ear, Harry Dano's face showed a trace of anger, stood up and said apologetically, "Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for not accompanying me." ”
Immediately, Harry Dano hurriedly left the living room with the maid, and Ye Chen asked suspiciously, "What's the situation?" ”
"I guess something big happened, I saw a hint of anger on Uncle Harry's face, Uncle Harry rarely gets angry." Louise frowned at Harry Dano's back as he hurried away.
"Then let's go along and have a look, maybe we can help."
"Well, let's go!"
