Chapter 408: Guest to II
The police force under the Cordillera Command is definitely trained according to the requirements of the regular army, and although the intensity of their training cannot be compared with that of the regular army due to specific operational reasons, the subject of the training is not a single one.
One hundred and ten policemen stood in two rows on the pier, their straight posture and shiny police uniforms were very eye-catching...... Well, by the way, all the officers of the Cordillera Police Station have the same uniforms as the Republic, and they are not even bad in rank. And the external propaganda is to avoid confusion with the Imperial Police Department, anyway, this is what it says, everyone understands it in their hearts.
Petro. Hughes stood on the pier, indifferently staring at the luxury passenger ship slowly approaching. As the Governor of the Cordilera, even though he was not familiar with the coat of arms of the nobility, he also knew who it was, the first in line of succession of the Grand Duke of Cassef and his wife, and the half-brother of the lord, Levin. Bell and his party came to the Cordillera to observe and they were to land by boat at Maple Dew Pier.
Be all abroad!
Although Petro. Hughes himself was working hard for a title of nobility, but he was extremely disdainful of the sons and daughters who had inherited the titles of their elders and did nothing. In his opinion, this so-called aristocracy is actually the scum and maggots in this upper class. It was precisely because of their existence that the zhì empire was weakened.
Because of this, Hathaway made him see a completely different aristocracy, capable and capable, and the most rare thing was that she trusted herself, and with this, he wanted to show his strength and make a difference in the Cordillera Plateau.
For Lebon. Bell, although he knows some things from some sources, is not familiar with it. But he was all too familiar with the first in line.
Gu Lie. Fei Wenlie was a playboy when he was Hathaway, and he was the first in line to the throne, and he didn't know how many women he had harmed...... Speaking from the heart, those people are also coming for the title of the future Grand Duchess, and they are also self-inflicted, and with the atmosphere of Hathaway's upper class, not many women will really care about this kind of thing.
I heard that he has converged a lot over the years, this time he commanded the army in the northwest battlefield, and fought a few beautiful battles, although there are many other factors, but among the nobles, he has faintly possessed the image of a successor. It's just that this highness actually took Levon with him. Bell's arrival is simply a provocation to the lord's nervous bottom line, Petro. Hughes couldn't understand what the other party was trying to do.
However, at the time of Hathaway's orders, Petro. Hughes didn't see anything unusual about her, but Petro. Hughes didn't believe that Lord Lords were really innocent...... Although he didn't deliberately inquire, the news that the Viscountess Bell was doing everything possible to fight for her son's title was not a secret rumor in Vermont or even in the province of Caself, so he felt weird.
There was a movement on the deck, the guests inside were about to come out, and some energetic knights began to pretend to stand on the deck...... This is Petro. Hughes's brain supplement. However, as the messenger of the welcome, he still took a few steps forward and stood straight on the edge of the dock. He was actually quite unaccustomed to such routine inquiries and queues to welcome distinguished guests. But there is no way, as the political officer of the Cordillera Collar, he still has to be reluctant to do so in this situation, and if he wants to defend the dignity of the Cordillera Collar, the necessary superficial image still needs to be maintained.
The movable gangway of the ship was lowered from the side of the ship with the sound of pulleys, and landed on the stone steps of the dock specially used for guests to go up and down, and the two servants had already opened the middle hatch, and the first to come out was naturally Gu Lie, who was the first heir of the Kasef Dawen. Fei Wenlie, and followed by Gu Lie. It was his wife, Catherine, who came out of the show. The last teenager to step out of the hatch and onto the deck was naturally Levin. Bel.
Although they didn't know each other, Petro. Hughes could still quickly judge the identity of the other party from the other party's clothing, not to mention the young man with a face and Hathaway's imagination following behind.
"Cordillera Governor Petro. Hughes greets His Royal Highness and Mrs. Fivinette. A loud voice spread faintly across the docks.
Although Lebon. Bale's peers, but he has no title and no specific title to Petro. Hughes's identity directly regarded him as a passerby.
"You are Lord Hughes? I didn't expect it to be younger than the rumors! ”
Gu Lie. Fei Wenlie raised his eyebrows in some surprise and looked at the businessman-turned-political official...... Most of the lord's candidates for administrative officials are their own relatives or minor nobles with similar experience, and it is rare for Hathaway to hire a merchant's son. And what surprised those who were ready to see the joke the most was that this young man from a business school had actually taken care of a territory of Nuoda in an orderly manner - in addition to the trust and delegation of power of the lord, the key was personal skills.
"Your Excellency is already waiting for you in Mandy Gaza City, and Irot has been ordered to escort you to Mandy Gaza." As if answering the other party's question, and as if he was doing business, Petro. Hughes's gaze only fell on Gu Lie, who was in the lead. Fei Wenlie performed a courtesy without being humble or arrogant. He also saluted the two ladies who disembarked later.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the carriage has been prepared for you, but the conditions are limited, please understand."
Although he is polite on the surface, the sense of distance in his bones is still undisguised, which makes Gu Lie. Both of them were full of curiosity, they naturally knew that the young magistrate had never had a holiday with him, and he was also the heir of the Grand Duke of Cassef, in this case, it was unlikely that the other party would show such hostility, the only possibility could only be out of loyalty to the lord, or it could be because.
The two magic carriages slid lightly along the wide road to the docks, except for the first carriage with vivid thorn bird markings on the door, the other two carriages knew at a glance that they were ordinary commercial carriages, this kind of carriage can be rented at will in every city, in addition to pulling a lot of people, the concave luggage rack on the top of the car can also carry a lot of luggage, and the elongated carriage is squeezed enough to accommodate more than eight people, which of course is for the servants and servants.
"Everyone, please get in the car, there are still more than a hundred miles from Maple Dew City to Mandi Gaza City, and it is estimated that it will be there in the afternoon, please be mentally prepared first." Petro. A formulaic apologetic look appeared on Hughes's face...... It's the kind of expression that looks insincere at first glance.
……
Looking at the girl swinging happily in the garden, Hathaway had a faint smile on her face, and an inexplicable joy flowed quietly in her heart...... Hathaway couldn't tell if it was her own feeling or the feeling of the body's original owner, but it didn't matter.
Since Fruya. When Bell arrived in Mandy Gaza, Hathaway found that she was indeed much more cheerful. Although there is no shortage of young girls in the lord's mansion, due to the difference in status, even when it is relaxed, that feeling is lacking. Therefore, many times Hathaway even put down the tedious work on her hand and accompanied Frouya. Bell went out to play.
Spring in the Cordillera is a little different from other regions...... There is a little less chill, but a little more of the breath of early summer. So the girl quickly fell in love with the outdoors here. However, for the sake of safety, Hathaway not only refused to take her to the Black Forest fortress, but also brought many lords' guards with her when she wandered around Mandy Gaza or Perseusburg, so as not to encounter the roaming underground races.
Hathaway suddenly sighed softly, how comfortable would life be if it weren't for those troublesome things? It's a pity that happiness is always short-lived, and perhaps it is the long-term troubles that make people feel the preciousness of happiness.
There has finally been a breakthrough in the study of the plane channel, she has been able to send energy to the magic array at any time, and the spell to open the plane channel has been taught to the little banshee Nicole, who is responsible for opening the plane channel in the demon plane, those ores unique to the demon plane are being transported in a steady stream, and the dwarf craftsmen are also working day and night to build weapons.
Hathaway believed that when the Cordillera army was fully equipped with new weapons, its combat effectiveness would be exponentially increased, and it would be able to better defend its territory and people.
But Hathaway doesn't really have much to think about it right now, as well as Gully/Fivinel and Levon. The arrival of Bell and his party added to her great trouble, as news came from Maple Dew City that they had landed at Maple Dew Pier and were on their way to Mandy Gaza.
Just as she was pondering this, but at this time, Steven. The news of Kennett's visit upset Hathaway even more - the Archbishop of the Church of Nature in the Heidelberg area, Alain. Stephen's envoy will visit the Cordillera Plateau in the near future and consult with Hathaway about the Church of Nature stepping up missionary evangelism in the Cordillera.
This chain of troubles, combined with the growing chaos of Gettysburg Fortress to the north, left Hathaway at no idea what to do, and the storm gathered in this Cordillera collar and seemed to crush her shoulders.
And Fruya in front of her. Bell, it seems, she didn't know what Viscountess Bell had done before. But she appeared at this time in the Cordillera Collar, and in Lebon. Bell is almost following him, will there be any turmoil?
Truth be told, Hathaway didn't want Frua. Bell is involved here, intrigue and feelings are never things in the same boat, and if feelings are mixed with politics, then they are completely reduced to dirty deals or conspiracy. R1152
