After a while, Mara and Adeline also went downstairs, but they were obviously unaware of the atmosphere in the room, Adeline was noisy that she was going out to play today, and Mara was playing with Little Flower's tail, and the little girl's laughter and Little Flower's wailing made Countess Bonarroti a little irritated.

"Can you be quiet, Mara!"

Countess Bonaroti's tone was a little bad, and Mara and Adeline were stunned when they heard this, and then Mara, who was reprimanded in a good manner, had tears in her eyes and Adeline on the side was not much better, and she was also frightened by Countess Bonaroti.

"Bert, I remember that Madame Beoulay had candy from the Vatican."

Bert, who understood what Ernst meant, hurriedly said to the two young ladies of the Bonaroti family, who were about to cry, "Miss Mara and Miss Adeline, I would like to invite you to taste Madame Beoulay's sweets. ”

"Candy?"

The little girl is easy to deceive, but in an instant the attraction of Mara and Adeline is transferred, and then they happily agree, and the two little girls follow Bert away.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ernst......"

"Needless to say, I'm just worried that Mara and Adeline are so innocent, will they really be cheated with a piece of candy in the future."

A small teasing sentence made Countess Bonarroti couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and then said with a wry smile: "If they can be like His Royal Highness Prince Ernst......"

Before the Countess of Bonarroti could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Prince Ernst, who was pretending to wave his hand exaggeratedly: "But you must not be like me, I am afraid that you will have a great headache in the future." ”

Although she knew that Ernst was adjusting the atmosphere, Countess Bonarroti couldn't help but say: "If only they could be more mature, the Bonarroti family ......"

"To say something offensive to the Countess of Bonaroti, many things are men's business, such as you, Countess Bonaroti, and the only thing you can do in this matter is to be frightened and panicked here."

The Bonarroti family has no heirs and can't complain about Mara and Adeline, what a girl should do is to be well-behaved and cute to bring laughter to the family, and Countess Bonaroti has too many extravagances.

"I ......"

The Countess of Bonaroti was speechless, and Ernst was inconvenient to speak again at this time because of his recklessness, and at this time the Count of Bonaroti appeared in front of the two.

"I have already arranged for someone to go to Rome to inquire about the news, in order to avoid some unexpected things, His Royal Highness Prince Ernst, it is better for you not to leave the manor these days, and ...... else"

"If necessary, Bert, they can all be arranged by the manor for the time being."

The Count of Bonarroti nodded his head to Ensté in thanks, and then said to the Countess of Bonarroti: "I must go to Florence if I don't come back this afternoon...... You all need to do what Prince Ernst says. ”

Glancing at Ernst, he understood that he was not counting on himself but on his subordinates, Kurt and Bert, after all, after the departure of Count Bonaroti and Parker, the only people here who had the ability to command were Ernst's men and not the servants of the estate.

It's okay not to say this, so where does Countess Bonaroti dare to let Count Bonaroti leave? But she was the Countess of Bonaroti and not the Count of Bonaroti, and where could she stop what the Count wanted to do?

"Stay safe, Álvaro."

Count Bonarroti nodded and then looked at Ernst, to which Ernst nodded very seriously and said that there was no problem, and at this time Count Bonarroti left with confidence.

Looking at the back of the Count of Bonarroti and the butler Parker leaving, the Countess of Bonarroti was very worried, which Ernst could understand, but he did not have time to appease her.

Beckoning a servant over and asking, "How many servants in the manor are there who can use guns?" ”

He had just heard what Count Bonaroti had said, and although Ernst was now in command of the servants of the manor, he was not surprised, for at this time and now Ernst had to know something about the manor.

The servant said proudly, "We can gather 300 men, including the inhabitants of the nearby town, His Royal Highness Prince Ernst." ”

“300…… Barely enough, inform my guard officer Kurt, and ask him to arrange for twenty guards to go to the town and hold out in case of attack. ”

The servant understood that he and the town were a rabble, and that Ernst's guards could not be compared at all, and seeing that Ernst was willing to arrange for his guards to go to the town, the servants were only happy, and that it would be inappropriate for Ernst's guards to command the peasants of the town?

During this time, Countess Bonaroti watched like this, although Ernst was only a six-year-old child, but Ernst knew many things and could do them, but Countess Bonaroti could not.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ernst, if you send your guards to the town, your own safety ......"

Before Countess Bonarroti could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ernst's outstretched hand, and smiled a little indifferently: "If the other party is so powerful, then leaving twenty guards will have no effect." ”

Nodding involuntarily, Countess Bonarroti immediately felt that this was still a little inappropriate, it was already good that Ernst was willing to let his guards help, where could he let the family help take care of the safety of the town?

Seeing that Countess Bonarroti was still about to speak, Ernst interrupted: "Umberto I was assassinated, but those rebellious nobles did not necessarily dare to attack the town and the manor directly, this was just a precaution. ”

Don't dare? Don't dare, that's fake!

The kings of Italy have all been assassinated, and now that the domestic situation is so disordered, if the rebellious nobles don't seize this time to make a fortune, when will they do it?

The main fear of the rebellious nobles was the Florentine army, but in this situation, who would dare to move the Florentine army easily? Once the transfer is misunderstood, then it is a more terrible result than the attack on the manor, and it is very likely that it will be executed as a rebellion.

The Countess of Bonarroti did not understand, so she went back to her room to rest under the persuasion of Ernst, she was already in poor health, and after the assassination of Umberto I just now, she could no longer hold on.

When Bert returned, he saw Ernst looking at him and nodded slightly, "Miss Mara and Miss Adeline are at Madame Beoulay's, what should we do now, Lord Earl?" ”

"Is it better than Madame Yulai?"

"The fever has subsided, nothing serious, just rest more."

Although they tried their best to avoid it, Madame Beoulay, who could not stand such cold weather, still had a fever and was sick, and the cold was contagious, so the guards refused to visit Ernst, which is why Madame Beoulay was never seen.

Looking out at the snow through the window of the hall, Ernst asked with some concern, "How likely do you think this place might be attacked?" ”

Bert didn't know how to answer such a question, but fortunately Kurt came over in time and helped answer the question: "Very high, because of the reason for accepting the canonization of the King of Italy, the Bonarroti family provoked many Italian nobles during the Napoleonic period, and the Italian nobles were the most in the rebellion, and this is not a safe place, Lord Count." ”

Bert is the chamberlain and Kurt is the guard officer, one is in charge of life and the other is in charge of security, and Kurt has a very say in such matters.

Kurt's words revealed a meaning, he felt that Ernst should not arrange for the guards to go to the town at this time, but should be stationed here in the manor, and it was a point to be able to increase the strength of the manor.

Ernst was also a smart man, although he did not understand military affairs, he also had his own ideas, pointing in the direction of the small town of Bonaroti, Ernst said: "There...... There are also more than 200 armed forces that have not been organized. ”
