The Olympics soon ended when Joseph was resting in his country house, and the Nord principality barely had a good result, with no gold medals but two silver medals.

After this Olympics, Joseph has decided to train real professional athletes in the past few years, after all, some students still have the desire to pursue this aspect.

Time is still dragging on in Western Sahara, and to be honest, Joseph doesn't care much about Western Sahara at the moment, because his money is close to exhaustion, and he can't allocate much money for construction.

Now Joseph's daily life is to practice martial arts, study military theory classes, attend concerts to cultivate his sentiments, etc., but Joseph doesn't want to do much, and things will take the initiative to find him.

In October 1984, when Africa was hit by a rare drought and famine, Herman in the Kingdom of Morocco contacted Joseph almost as quickly as possible, claiming that this was the best chance to solve the problem of Western Sahara. Herman's meaning Joseph naturally understood that the opportunity must not be lost and never come again, even if there is no extra money to build the Western Sahara region now, Joseph must take the lead in solving the problem.

"James, take all the food you can come up with, let's go to Africa!"

"Africa? I understand, do it now. ”

Unlike Joseph, James was always watching the affairs of Western Sahara, and as soon as Joseph opened his mouth, he could hear the meaning, although the matter could not be completely solved with food, but it could also gain the friendship of most African countries, and with their friendship then the problem of African unity would not be a big problem.

After hanging up the phone, Joseph instructed Joanna to prepare clothes, such a thing is naturally the earliest the better, if he can, he can't hope to be in Africa now.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister James's phone call!"

At this time, Abner hurried over, and most of the officials had already changed their words, but in the eyes of old people like Abner, they still liked to call Joseph His Highness when no one was around.

"James, is there something wrong with the food?"

"No, I think maybe I can contact Huaxia appropriately."

Chinese? James's words made Joseph stunned, what does this matter have to do with Huaxia? However, Joseph soon reacted that the current Huaxia still has a certain influence in Africa, of course, these are secondary, what really matters is that Huaxia has the ability to support Africa, which is not a good thing for the Duchy of Nord.

The importance of sending charcoal in the snow is self-evident, and now Joseph wants to strive for the first time to pass on his friendship to African countries, and if he can, he even wants to show his strength in force.

United States? There is no need to worry about the United States for the time being, because at this time they are busy with the presidential election, and they have no mind or energy to care about Africa and the Nord principality.

Just after hanging up James's phone, a call from Morocco once again woke Joseph, who was in a state of distraction, and picked up the phone, which turned out to be Nord Foreign Minister Hermann.

"Your Majesty, King Hassan II has agreed that a press conference can be held tomorrow if there are no problems."

Tomorrow? Joseph looked up at the time and estimated that he would be able to reach the Kingdom of Morocco tonight: "Let's hold a press conference tomorrow!" Hopefully, nothing will happen. ”

There were some things that Joseph could say, but Herman couldn't, so Herman could only be silent about Joseph's worries, and he didn't dare to answer easily.

Eleven-year-old boys were already beginning to have masculine features, and at least now they saw Joseph's nobles no longer saying that the Grand Duke of Nord was cute but handsome, which was no small improvement, at least for Joseph.

Helping Joseph put on the mask, Joanna looked at Joseph, who had a somewhat tough line, and couldn't help but wander in a daze, not because of the love element, but because she recalled what Marceau said some time ago.

"Now that Your Highness is eleven years old, it's not appropriate for you to follow around."

Joanna is very simple, she is very confused about the meaning of her good sister's words, she has always been Joseph's personal maid since she came to the Nord Palace, and she has always been by her side.

I wanted to ask a few more words, but when she saw Marceau's slightly blushing face, Joanna instantly understood, but after understanding, her first feeling in her heart was not shyness but sadness, sadness.

Marceau mistakenly thought that Joanna was thinking about wrongdoing, and felt that fate was unfair to him, so he seriously and sincerely advised her about the difference in their identities, and warned her that she was not the Princess of Monaco and Joseph was not the Prince of Monaco, so it was unlikely that the pheasant flying on the branch would happen to her. Of course, the metaphor is a bit ugly.

"Joanna?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Joseph's soft call brought Joanna back to her senses, so she looked over a little puzzled, and saw her confused appearance, and Joseph couldn't help but retract what he wanted to ask.

"If Your Highness doesn't have anything to do, then I'm ......"

"Seeing that you have been wandering for the past two days, is there something in trouble?"

This trip to Morocco is expected to spend some time in Africa, so Joseph is eager to settle most of Nord's affairs and save himself from distraction. Joanna is undoubtedly the person Joseph values more, and her affairs are naturally included in the need to be resolved.

"No, nothing."

"Really? Although you have always been my personal maid, you should know that I have always treated you as my friend......"

"It's really nothing, Your Highness. Marceau was still waiting for me to pack my things, so I quit first. ”

After saying this, Joanna trotted out of Joseph's bedroom, looking at her back, Joseph's inner doubts deepened, he didn't want to leave with regrets, so he asked the guard to inform Abner to come over. Abner was the steward of the royal palace, and he should know most of the things here.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Joseph, who was sitting on the sofa, pointed to the seat opposite him and motioned for him to sit down, Abner was different from the other servants, this was the old man of the Ragnar family, who had served as the valet of Ragnar II, and deserved such treatment. However, treatment is treatment, and Abner naturally would not do such a thing, so he still chose to stand.

"What's going on with Joanna?"

"Joanna? Maybe it's because of your manservant, Your Highness! ”

Abner was stunned by the sudden inquiry, but he soon realized that Marceau was there he had told him to go, and he meant to warn Joanna.

"Male servant, what male servant?"

Abner's words surprised Joseph, how could there be a sudden occurrence of the matter of the manservant, no one had informed him of this! Although he understood that this was a matter for the steward, Joseph still felt uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, you are no longer old enough for Joanna to serve by your side, I heard that the Duchy is about to buy the Western Sahara region, and a royal palace will definitely be built there!"

"You want Joanna to go to Africa?"

"No, it was Marceau who took the initiative to ask to go, and the housekeeper here can arrange for Joanna to be the one."

Joseph did not expect that Abner had arranged everything without his knowledge, and he was very dissatisfied, but he could not refuse, because it was Abner's duty.
