"Marquis Kate, maybe we should go to a more secluded place to chat, such as a café, a small restaurant, etc."

Dancing gracefully, the handsome Earl smiled and put forward his own proposal, and Kate, who was not disgusted and even prepared to list the other party as the target of his investigation, naturally would not refuse.

"If you don't have bad intentions, then I'm sure I'll agree to your request."

The smiling Kate is charming, at least the handsome earl opposite has a small wave in his heart, there are many beautiful women, but it is rare to meet such a beautiful woman with a beautiful temperament.

That being said, it is disrespectful to leave the owner without a reason, so they choose to go to a secluded corner, from the unfamiliar to the familiar they need such an environment.

Shaking the bright red liquid in the wine glass, Kate, who was sitting opposite the handsome earl, asked casually: "You said before that you have Scottish blood?" ”

"Yes, my grandmother is the sister of Viscount Finger, Viscount Finger in the south of Scotland."

"Viscount Finger? My family is also related to the Finger family, but it's a little bit old and we don't have much contact with each other now. ”

The handsome earl's words caused a small exclamation from Kate, perhaps because of this inexplicable relation, the two talked more casually, but they did not see a few pairs of eyes not far away all the time.

"Looks like our Grand Duke Joseph is in some trouble."

Laughing and saying this, it was Aldrich, a half-friend of Joseph's, of the Hollis family in England, and next to him was his brother-in-law Adonis, if Aldrich and Earl Philip's second daughter were married.

"It's just a normal relationship, and I believe that if she is really listed as a candidate for the crown princess, then there are already intelligence officers from the Nord Principality here."

Adonis is always so indifferent, but indifference does not mean that Adunis is in command, and often people with an indifferent personality are quite calm and handle things more securely.

"That's right, it doesn't seem like we need to meddle in anything, I believe in the ethics of the noble lady, this is not the United States."

"But it's the new century."

Aldrich's smile was held back by Aldrich's cold words, and he finally shrugged helplessly to admit defeat, but he still looked in the direction of Kate and the handsome earl with interest.

Before the new century, the British aristocracy was quite conservative, in fact, not only the noblewomen but also ordinary ladies, and the premarital behavior was quite shameful and impermissible.

The main reason why the personnel of the Nord Ministry of Internal Affairs did not make a move was that they did not want to expose themselves, and secondly, for the new appointment of the British aristocracy, even if Kate had a good impression of the handsome earl, at least there was nothing to worry about before the engagement.

Also watching here is Kate's uncle, Baron Abt, whose voice in the family has begun to diminish in recent days, admits that he does underestimate this decisive niece.

Audi agency was Kate's first target, and while Abner was busy with other things, Kate had quietly gained the support of some professional managers, plus Joseph, it was only a matter of time before Kate took over the Audi agency in England.

A few months ago, Kate was not as attractive as she is now, this has nothing to do with temperament and appearance, what really made Kate start to attract butterflies was those hundreds or tens of millions of pounds of wealth.

With the advent of the new century, the lives of the British aristocracy became more and more difficult to maintain, and the British aristocracy maintained the old traditions, because it meant wasting their unnecessary expenses of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds every year.

The aristocracy adapted to a period of time from equity participation to personal participation in the operation, and during this period of time they paid a considerable price, eighty percent of the nobles fell in this adaptation, and the families of Kate, Liverpool, and Linton all belonged to the more fortunate part.

"Maybe that's a good sign." Baron Abt couldn't help but think of such a sentence in his heart.

Abt naturally didn't like the Earl who valued their family's wealth like this, but it was more in his interest than Kate becoming Princess Nord, and it would be better if the Earl was more stupid.

Joseph, who was far away in Nord at the banquet, naturally did not know all the thoughts, and looked at the pile of bills in front of himJoseph couldn't help but have a headache, and at this time, Abner backlogged it in order to report the annual income and expenditure in 1985.

"I think you'll be in charge of this, Abner steward, I trust you."

Secretly rubbing his brain, Joseph comforted Abner very righteously, but unfortunately his style did not make Abner grateful, how did Abner, who grew up watching Joseph almost a child, not know his mind?

"Your Majesty, thank you for your trust, but these bills ......"

"Siqi, the beach is suitable for blowing wind today, I'll take you out to play."

After saying this, Joseph pretended not to see Abner, and trotted out of the room, but Siqi did not know about the master and the butler, and happily followed behind.

Before Abner could react, he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, but in an instant he understood that this was Joseph's prevarication.

"Mr. Manstein, how is your life at the academy lately?"

Joseph naturally didn't really go out for a walk on the beach on a cloudy day, so he came to Manstein's room with a somewhat depressed look and greeted Fritz Erich von Manstein who was reading a book.

Putting down the book and seeing the visitor, Manstein couldn't help but tease: "Your Majesty, you have rarely come to me recently. ”

Manstein's words were somewhat embarrassing to Joseph, but after all, he was telling the truth, so he could only try to make excuses for his actions: "There are more things in Western Sahara, but I have delayed my studies." ”

The water in these words is too obvious, but Manstein didn't mean to reveal it, it doesn't matter if he teases Joseph a little, but after all, he is the Grand Duke of Nord and it is not okay to let Joseph not step down.

"Your Majesty is fourteen years old?"

The year 1986 had arrived, and Joseph had grown a year older under such circumstances, and Manstein was indeed a little older, and these things began to be difficult to remember.

"Isn't there any special meaning to be fourteen years old?"

This is a story that Manstein once said, many of the Mongol armies rode horses to the battlefield to fight on the battlefield at the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and by the time they reached adulthood, they had been transformed into the most elite cavalry, which was extremely terrifying and cruel.

Manstein obviously remembered the story he had told, but this time he shook his head: "There is no special meaning, just that Your Majesty you should be engaged." ”

Betrothal......

Joseph never thought that such words would come from Manstein's mouth, but it was only natural that he wanted to be equated with a retainer, and these were things that were within his duty.
