Chapter Ninety-Five: The Little Hotel
Old Man Tabu was an ordinary small merchant in the city of Lebour, who ran two small inns, one in the east and one in the west.
The income is not too much, but it can also make his life quite solid. Of course, his level is still a long way from the so-called high society.
It was in these days that he suddenly discovered that the hotel in his east of the city seemed to be inhabited by a remarkable person. The man was not very old, estimated to be in his early twenties, but he was wearing silk clothes that he had never touched.
It is said that this kind of clothing from the Orient is extremely light and thin, and when worn on the body, it is like a fresh breeze, and there is no sense of restraint at all, and it is the most high-class clothing.
One day, the old man even saw the mayor walking beside the young man, and he looked respectful. From this, the old man Tabu could be sure that the young man was definitely a nobleman, and not an ordinary nobleman.
A noble nobleman lived in his own little place, and this was definitely a boast to the old man of Tabu, and whenever he and his old brothers drank and bragged, he would bring it up to show off.
However, the response is often disbelief: "What? Can you still have noble nobles to live in that shabby place? Who are you bluffing? Don't think we don't know, those noble lords live in big castles. ”
Old man Tabu was naturally very unconvinced, but he couldn't bring the noble lord to them to prove his words, so he could only smile and pretend not to care.
But today, Master Tabu's words were undoubtedly confirmed, and even he himself was really taken aback.
In the morning, when Mr. Tabu had just returned from buying wine outside, he saw at a glance that there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages parked in front of his small inn.
The two-headed black eagle coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire was painted on the carriage of each carriage, and the carriage was lined with colorful flags embroidered with various strange family coats of arms.
There is no doubt that these are the carriages of the noble lords. This matter has spread throughout the street, and a woman who was washing vegetables on the side of the road saw Master Tabu, and hurriedly took his arm and said, "Hey, old man Tabu, what's wrong with you there, why do so many noble lords come to your little place." ”
The old man was full of excitement, he couldn't tell what was happening, and when he faced the woman's question, he opened his mouth and said yes, but he couldn't say a word.
In addition to the old man Tabu, there were some people who were full of doubts about this arrangement, and that was the nobles who came here.
They had no idea that the so-called 'temporary office' in Eugen's mouth was actually such a small and dilapidated hotel, and at first they even thought that Eugen was joking.
When they learned that Eugen had been living here for the past few days, they couldn't laugh. Obviously, this is where they meet, and there will be no other place.
The largest room in the hotel is more than 30 square meters, and the beds, tables and chairs occupy a small half, and the rest of the place is crowded with five people.
However, there are more than a dozen nobles who are qualified to participate in the meeting this time, not counting the housekeepers and bodyguards they have brought with them, if they are all added, they will not be able to fit these people if all the rooms of the entire hotel are opened.
This makes everyone angry and wants to scold their mother.
Eugen arranged this, naturally with his intentions.
Don't look at more than a dozen nobles, in fact, these nobles are just divided into three waves, all of which are headed by the three major families, and these Eugen are all clear in their hearts.
"Oh, let you all gather in one room, and make a mess, can I speak louder than you people? Now anyway, the room is so big, people with identity go inside, stand at the door a little bit, and go outside without identity, now you can't quarrel if you want to. Eugen chuckled inwardly, and he felt that he had been too witty to do so.
Seeing that the conference room was like this, many nobles had the heart to open their mouths not to participate in this meeting, but they were afraid that their interests would be harmed, so they had to endure it in the end.
As a result, only Margaret, Eugen, Tariq, Pigard, and Bard remained in the room, and the others did not dare to come in and grab space with a few bigwigs even if there was still space in the room.
The other nobles, all standing at the door, apparently had little chance to speak. As for some bodyguards, as well as Ruud's butler, they didn't even have a chance to enter the hotel, so they could only stand on the street outside the door and wait for news.
Ruud's steward had already scolded in his heart, he didn't expect Eugen to use such a bad trick at all, but thinking about it, even he had to admire Eugen's approach, a small change balanced his voice with the other three. Anyway, the four forces have four mouths, and if he doesn't suffer in words, it can be said that he has earned.
Pigarde also shook his head and smiled bitterly when he learned of the situation, but he had already secretly cooperated with Eugen, so naturally it was impossible to oppose Eugen openly. On the other side, Viscount Bard is a picture of indifference, he has been with the mud for more than ten years, and it is not bad this time.
Tariq felt that he had suffered a loss, but he was confident that even if he had only one person, he would be able to overwhelm the other three in momentum. Therefore, he eventually acquiesced to this form and did not raise objections.
In this way, the giants of the entire Lebour region gathered in this small room, and every word spoken in the room would have a huge impact on the region from the northern foothills of the Alps to the southern shores of the Mediterranean.
However, to the trio's surprise, Margaret actually stayed in the house. After the introduction, they learned that this was actually the granddaughter of the Duke of Ji'an, and she also represented a huge family---- Medici family.
In this way, they didn't dare to raise any objections, and even the old pervert Bard retracted his gaze.
After all, Margaret can be said to be the most noble among all the people present, and as a direct member of the Duke's family, she is likely to inherit the Duke's position in the future. In the face of a future duchess, no one dares to underestimate her weight.
Eugen also thought of it: "Hehe, I know I'm afraid, now that there are two of us, we are already superior to you in numbers." ”
Hiding his thoughts, Eugen coughed lightly and said: "Ahem, then let's get to the point now, and let's discuss the distribution of interests in the Lebor region in the future." ”
Eugen and Margaret sat on the bed, and the three giants each sat in a chair, and just like that, they gathered around a small table and began to have a heated discussion.
