ps: Thanks Xia Tian for the tip.

Christmas night

When the phone rang, Joseph was a little puzzled, this is an internal phone, it is impossible to call here without the review of the guards, could it be that James or the cabinet has something?

But the cabinet meeting has just ended, and it is estimated that the group of cabinet members are still in the shock of the atomic bomb, how can they call themselves at this time, thinking about these Joseph picked up the microphone.

"Merry Christmas, Joseph."

"You're happy too, Kate."

When the familiar voice came from the microphone, Joseph couldn't help but smile, complaining that the guards didn't come to report, and it could be seen that they were all speculating whether Kate would be the princess of Nord in the future.

"It's been a boring Christmas this year! I don't even know who to hang out with. ”

Rare Kate showed the mentality of a little daughter, Joseph chuckled and thought about Kate's expression on the other side of the microphone at this time, was it a tangled or hesitant expression, whether she was lying on the bed or lying on the desk?

"Candace! Aren't you good friends with her? ”

Candace was the aristocratic lady Joseph met at the auction house, and although the family was a little worse than Kate's, it was not too far behind, a Earl family in Edinburgh.

"It's going to be Edinburgh at Christmas, and I won't look for her even in London, she has too many friends to play with."

The main reason is that Kate in the past was too arrogant, and her peers didn't look at her very well, and only a few people were willing to play with her, which is normal, after all, who let only Kate and a few of her peers inherit the title.

"What are you doing now?" It can be seen that Kate is really bored, otherwise she would not ask such a question, but Joseph's answer made Kate quite speechless: "I just attended a cabinet meeting to discuss how to force the United States to compromise and make concessions." ”

No one will take this sentence as the truth, although Kate has always believed in his heart that Britain is no worse than the United States, but in fact, he knows very well that the United States is so strong that even the British government does not dare to say this easily, and now it is the Grand Duke of a small country whose territory and population are less than one percent of the United States......

Kate didn't believe Joseph and couldn't help it, and the two sides hung up the phone after a while, Kate's age is still a little old! Otherwise, she is definitely the best candidate for the princess.

Open the window, the royal palace is located at the highest point in the whole Nord, and here you can completely overlook the entire Nord Principality, because of Christmas, the Nord Principality is brightly lit at this time, and the streets are also shining with beautiful neon lights.

"Your Highness, do you want to prepare something to eat?"

Because of the cabinet meeting, Joseph ate dinner early, it was already nine o'clock, and Marceau estimated that Joseph was already a little hungry, so he asked Joanna to come over and ask.

"Joanna, your mother's ......"

"I'm fine, Your Highness."

Turning around, looking at Joanna's somewhat haggard face, Joseph felt that she had grown a lot, but the cost of this growth was a bit big, at least Joseph couldn't bear to say more.

Joanna's mother fell seriously ill on the eve of her trip to Japan, and medical treatment did not keep up because of the rebellion, so Joanna's mother left a few days after the rebellion passed. After all, Joanna was Joseph's personal maid, and the butler Abner had arranged for someone to go there that day.

"Be prepared! You also sit down and eat together. ”

"Thanks, but I can't do that."

It could be seen that she had really grown up, and the word rules began to slowly come to her senses, and Joseph waved his hand reluctantly to signal her to prepare food.

Joanna's mother was suffering from a contagious disease, and according to the Ministry of Health, the result should have been a disease transmitted from Eastern Europe or Germany, for which the Duchy of Nord even issued a decree for universal medical examinations.

After all, it's a supper, even if it's Joseph's identity, he can't eat anything good, and it's very hot outside tonight, but Joseph is no longer in the mood to play.

At the same time, the Fox family in England, when Kate's uncle Abt learned about Kate and Joseph's affairs in London, he couldn't help but become impatient......

"What are we going to do now, Kate will graduate in two years, and we have no reason to stop her from getting involved in the family business."

Abt spoke to a distant cousin of his, Abt himself is very capable, but today it is all thanks to the help of this distant cousin, and even now 80% of Fox's business is in charge of that distant cousin.

"There is no princess in the Duchy of Nord."

The distant cousin did not directly answer Abt's words, but said such a seemingly completely unrelated topic, but just one sentence made Abt understand what he wanted to express, but then Abt shook his head.

"Grand Duke Nord is only nine years old this year, and the age gap between him and Kate is a bit big."

"It's because of their age gap that we have room to operate, and Kate is not engaged yet!"

A word woke up the person in the dream, it turned out that the meaning of the words was here, Abt looked at his distant cousin with some surprise, he didn't expect the other party to make such a trick.

"You mean we help Kate find a fiancé as soon as possible?"

"It's better to be honest and don't have much of a background." At this time, Abt's distant cousin did not forget to add that poor Kate was calculated and calculated by them like goods.

"I'm afraid Kate won't agree."

"As long as Joseph is not involved, then everything is fine, and if he really wants to take care of this, then we can back down and sell a favor to Joseph."

Even if Joseph knew that all this was Abt's calculation, he still had to pinch his nose and admit it at that time.

"Then let's do this as soon as possible, and help me invite the Earl of Liverpool and the Duke of Hollis, who seem to have a fairly close relationship with that Nord Grand Convention Cerf."

"That Nord Prime Minister James is there......"

After all, the Fox family was one of the important agents of Audi, so Abt had met James a few times and had some friendships, and Abt's distant cousin thought that such a thing should be done with all his connections.

"The situation in the Duchy of Nord is a bit complicated, and Prime Minister James doesn't have much say in Joseph, especially on things like this."

"But what if we help your Excellency Archduke Joseph to find a suitable princess? A princess of the same age, status, and status. ”

The words of the distant cousin made Abt's eyes light up, indeed, in this way, James and a group of old Nord ministers did not desperately beg Joseph to agree to this in-law?

Although he may lose the opportunity to marry the Nord royal family, it may not be a good thing for Abt himself, after all, Kate's first thing in power is not to thank his uncle for his many years of care.

"It's up to you to do this, and contact more Nord ministers like James Smiths."

Abt's distant cousin nodded and signaled that he knew what to do, he was actually the one who liked the most, after all, he was not from the Fox family, and Kate was bound to get out of the way.
