Chapter 100: Titles

It's the same invitation, but at this moment, Viscount Rossi is in a completely different mood than the last time.

If the previous time Viscount Rossi just wanted to use his nephew to improve his position in Klaliki, this time he purely wanted to get involved with Ernst.

"That's not my uncle, Bert."

Shaking his head, Ernst directly denied the identity of Viscount Rossi, which was something that Bert never expected, and was slightly stunned, but soon he nodded along with Ernst's words to show that he understood.

"We will have a lot of contact with Clariki in the future, and we can't be too alienated from Clariki's aristocratic circle, tell Viscount Rossi that I agree to the banquet invitation at noon."

Kraliki is the closest railway border to Moravia, and it is very important to have a good relationship with Kraliki.

Ernst had no place to live in Klaliki, so the group went straight to Viscount Rossi's castle, an approximately 160-year-old castle on the outskirts of Klaliki.

Passing through the not very bustling streets and crossing the main road at the regional level, Ernst and his party came to the outside of Viscount Rossi's castle, and Bert's advance made Viscount Rossi's family have a preparation, and when there was still some distance, Viscount Rossi had already taken the initiative to greet him.

"My Ernst, long time no see......"

This is a middle-aged fat man, and before he gets close to him, he tries to infect Ernst with his hearty laughter, which is very warm and very unusual, but ......

"Viscount Rossi, I don't have an impression of you in my memory!"

Ernst, who was about to get off the carriage, paused slightly because of Viscount Rossi's movements, and the refusal did not make Viscount Rossi feel any embarrassment, and he casually put down his hand that was about to hug Ernst and smiled casually.

"At that time, you were still young, and it was normal that you didn't have an impression."

He opened his mouth to argue something, but then Ernst chose to keep his mouth shut, because it was completely meaningless, and it was estimated that even if he saw through this black-hearted and thick-faced guy on the spot, he would not care.

Viscount Rossi led the way, and Ernst followed him to the door of the castle, which represented the former glory of the Viscount Rossi family, but the dilapidated also proved that the Viscount Rossi was not as good as he imagined.

Not a very beautiful but very gentle wife, two ordinary-looking but very well-behaved daughters, and an honest-looking son-in-law, this is the family of Viscount Rossi.

The second daughter is not yet married, and there is an additional guest in his 20s, which Ernst speculates may be the fiancé of Viscount Rossi's second daughter.

Introducing the past one by one, Viscountess Rossi is very kind, compared to Viscountess Rossi, Viscountess Rossi's two daughters are a little unsatisfactory, and they do not have the feeling of returning to Ernstebin.

The eldest son-in-law seemed a little pretentious, and it was evident that he had no place in the family, and even when he shook hands with Ernst, he was a little nervous.

There were no outsiders this time, it was a family banquet entirely, but Ernst saw some clues, and the guy who seemed to be the future second son-in-law of Viscount Rossi was the focus this time.

"David is from the United States, he served in the U.S. Army and now serves as Sheriff in Clariki."

David is that young man, seeing his experience Ernst couldn't help but look up at him, the current American army is not as strong as in later generations, but looking at the appearance of Viscount Rossi, he must not have been an ordinary officer before.

David Pussin, a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, worked for the U.S. Department of Defense, and although he was only an assistant officer at the rank of major, he was already very good at his age.

Unfortunately, a mistake in the battle plan left him with a black cauldron, and in order to avoid court-martial, he began to flee to Europe, and by chance came to Clariki and became the city sheriff.

Viscount Rossi was still very willing to marry his daughter to him, although the eldest daughter was married to a lawyer, they could not restore the family to the glory of its ancestors, Viscount Rossi thought that David Pussing had this ability, so he acquiesced in the second daughter's relationship with David Pussin.

But one thing is very regrettable, David Pussing is not a nobleman, although the eldest son-in-law is also not a nobleman, but his uncle is a viscount of Germany, and he is also in the top three in the succession sequence.

By chance, Viscount Rossi learned everything about Ernst in Moravia, and suddenly an opportunity appeared in front of Viscount Rossi, if ...... If his nephew Ernst is willing to help, perhaps David Pussing will be able to claim a noble title in the future, if not hereditary, but only a knighthood and barony that is not worthy of the name.

The power of scandals is huge, and Viscount Rossi doesn't want people to know that his family has fallen to the point where he wants his daughter to marry an ordinary person.

Viscount Rossi was not aware of the confrontation in Vienna, and in his opinion it was a sure thing that the future Archduke Ferdinand would become emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and at that time Ernst was the Grand Duke or Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

A non-hereditary title is nothing more than a matter of Ernst's words. Is it really that simple? Naturally not, if Ernst knew Viscount Rossi's thoughts, he would definitely refuse to come to this banquet.

But all was in vain, and Ernst had already arrived, though Ernst had become wary of Viscount Rossi's delay in revealing the purpose of the invitation to the banquet.

Viscount Rossi did not recklessly state his purpose, he understood that this matter could not be done overnight, and that it was the way to go, so he ......

"David was born at West Point and served in the military, and he once said that the boring life of the police department was not very suitable for him, and that he wanted to be able to return to the military if he could."

Viscount Rossi said this with unblinking eyes as he looked at Ernst, the Moravian Army Regiment...... That's where David Pussin's future will come in.

Ernst was a little hesitant, naturally he did not hesitate to let David Puszin join the Moravian Army Regiment, but felt that Viscount Rossi's purpose was not so simple.

Looking at Viscount Rossi's gaze, after a long time, Ernst chose to give up getting an answer from Viscount Rossi, and nodded with emotion that Jiang was still old and spicy, indicating that there was no problem.

Cosimo was clever enough to introduce David Pussimin to what needed to be prepared, and Ernst turned his attention back to Viscount Rossi.

The food at the banquet was rich and good, which made Ernst understand the importance of a family's heritage. In Moravia, for example, Ernst's cooks were only second-rate, even if they were Beoulay.

Although Viscount Rossi was only a small viscount, his century-old heritage gave him a lot of resources to borrow, first-class chefs, loyal guards, knowledgeable butlers, and professional-level servants, all of which Ernst lacked.
