Chapter 196: The Crown Prince

"Someone after Kate?"

When Andy reported this to Joseph, Joseph was really surprised, is there really anyone who is not afraid of death?

"Yes, today is the third day, every day he goes to Ms. Kate's office with a bouquet of flowers, the news is temporarily covered up, but ......"

News is really difficult to control, especially such news that is exposed to the public every day, although this has nothing to do with Kate, but many things can't stand the deliberate guidance of the media.

What about Nord Royal? Don't underestimate the audacity of these media, especially the American media, who can be said to be bold and don't care about their own lives.

Joseph didn't ask Kate's attitude, because there was no need to ask, and even if he wanted to, he could imagine that Kate was sad at this time, after all, it was a matter of her reputation.

"The big newspapers are still waiting, but some small newspapers have tentatively broadcast something, the Internet...... There is also a lot of discussion on the Internet. ”

Recently, because of Li Xiaohan's matter, Joseph has not been on the Internet, so he is not very clear about this matter, and if he had known earlier, he would not have been so passive.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Joseph wanted to scold, but he understood that Andy had already found out very early, after all, there were very few people in their department who actually browsed online entertainment news, and even more so who played chat rooms.

"It's better to be blocked, find a way to minimize the impact of this matter!"

Now Joseph has no good way, it is certain that the other party will not be able to live, but not now, otherwise the Nord royal family will really send the handle to others.

It's better to be blocked, a sentence makes Andy worry and can't figure out the meaning of this sentence. It wasn't until Kate knew about it that things were settled perfectly.

Carl is a playboy, but he also has a job of his own. He is a shareholder in several banks in Switzerland and France, although not too rich. However, you can also receive millions of euros in dividends every year.

This is just an ordinary Rothschild family member, and there is no need to say much about other core and high-level leaders. Why isn't there a single member of the Rothschild family on the Forbes 100 richest list?

It's not that they really cover the sky but there are really no such rich people, the grassroots dividends are millions of euros every year, the top is tens of millions, and the core is hundreds of millions, although none of them have Joseph rich, but all the members of the family combined, even the two Ragnar families can't compare.

After all, it was the oldest and most mysterious family known as the Sixth Empire, and the financial giant who controlled the lifeblood of the global economy for 200 years, which is not comparable to the Ragnar family.

Of course. The Ragnars will not be afraid, after all, the Ragnars are true royalty and the Rothschilds are not, they have no real territory, no real army, no real crown.

The act of sending flowers has been going on for three days, Karl has not yet perceived his danger, the Rothschilds have seen the actions of the Nord royal family, but they have not moved, if they can exchange the life of an ordinary member for a deal with the Nord principality, then it is worth it.

The Rothschilds have always adhered to the tradition of their own businessmen, there are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests, and everything can give way in the face of interests and money.

If one day they give up money, give up benefits. Don't worry, they just pave the way for more money, and the more you give, the more you will earn them back in the future. Or the greater your own losses.

Carl felt that his behavior was a little stupid, how could he suddenly have a hot brain and openly pursue the quasi-princess of the Duchy of Nord, if it was a private contact, then he might have already embraced the beauty at this time. Of course, these are just his conjectures, if it is a private contact, it should be a corpse standing here at this time.

Princess Nord was frantically pursued by a mysterious young man, and it will be interesting to see what the result will be -- a tabloid in the United States.

Princess Nord had a private meeting with the youth. Looks intimate, suspicious......

There is no doubt that this is some big headline on the Internet, and you will only find it when you really click on it. It was just a scene at the banquet where Kate was invited to dance, but no one knew that Kate had chosen to refuse.

The guy who posted this article was out of luck. He was tortured by the Nord Ministry of Internal Affairs for three whole days before being put in a psychiatric hospital, he was not insane, he was only atoned for some of his actions here.

Inside a hotel suite in London in mid-November

"Carl's mastermind behind the scenes is really worthy of being a member of the Rothschild family, planning and then acting, but I don't know if those old guys have made a move."

Andy quietly came to London to make Joseph think there was something big, but he didn't expect it to be a follow-up to Kate's pursuit.

"The Rothschilds are not moving, and their funds are ......"

Andy was interrupted by a wave of Joseph's hand before he could finish speaking: "A family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, their intelligence department is terrifying, maybe now we are already watching." ”

Chuckling, Joseph looked out the window, and the curtains of an office in the opposite office building trembled, and he didn't know if it was the wind blowing or someone was just standing there.

"As for the funding...... We don't know if the funds they can use are hidden, so don't think that those old guys didn't make a move, maybe...... They are waiting patiently. ”

……

An old manor house in Europe

"Did he really say that?"

"Yes, we embedded the bugging device when the hotel was created, but here's a report...... Maybe he found out about our surveillance. ”

"Interesting, really interesting, very nice little guy, that's the partner we need."

"Partner?"

"That's right, partners."

There was an old man and a young man in the room, and if there were high-ranking government officials from World War II, they would have recognized the old man as the previous patriarch of the Rothschilds, and the young man as the new patriarch. Of course, it is also relative to say young, because he is also in his thirties.

……

"This, such news ......"

The person in charge of Nord Royal Media couldn't help but shudder when he looked at the photos and titles in front of him, and looked at Joanna who brought these things with some timidity.

"Don't bother with that much, just put it in tomorrow's headlines."

Joanna also wondered why Kate used the photos of her and Joseph's trip to the port city and her pregnancy as a topic to divert attention, could she just buy the photo of Kate refusing Carl's invitation to dance and explain the situation at that time?

With such a question, Joanna returned to the palace and saw Kate who was reading a book, and she hesitated to ask her inner doubts.

"Joseph is not yet an adult, and he may become an illegitimate child, and this is the best opportunity to reveal his identity."

Kate is pregnant, yes, she has been a little uncomfortable since the port city returned, and it was already certain for the first two days. Of course, the matter has not been told to Joseph, and in fact, only she, Joanna, and the doctor know about it.

"But why use him to divert ......"

"We're Nord royalty, and there are things we can't explain, and explanations give people the suspicion that we're hiding something, and maybe that's exactly what Karl wants."

For example, there are many videographers at such a large banquet, and it is not difficult to find a photo of Kate refusing Carl's dance, after all, Kate's identity makes her the most eye-catching one wherever she goes.

"Then let Karl ...... go"

Joanna is very unwilling, if you say who hates Carl the most, maybe Joanna will be ranked above Joseph and Kate, the two are not indifferent, but understand that it is useless to hate this matter, the moment Carl made this thing means that he is already a dead person, what do the living and the dead care?

"He will pay the price he deserves, and although you have lived here for a long time, there are many things in the palace...... You don't know at all. ”

……

That night, Kate told Joseph the news of her pregnancy, and Joseph was not too surprised, because he had already guessed such a situation at that time, but not being surprised did not mean that Joseph was calm. After all, it is the birth of a bloodline, after all, it is his own heir, although he is only sixteen now, but his mental age is not like this.

"Crown Prince Nord!"

This is the first word that comes to Joseph's mind, he is not an identity but a security, a security that completely puts the hearts of the Nord citizens at ease, because there is a successor to the Nord Principality.

This sentence is not only suitable for the East, but also in the West, although Nord has a grand duke, but the grand duke is young, and there is no heir, this is a very dangerous thing.

Of course, now all the crises are lifted.

Joseph booked a ticket to go back that day, and then went straight to the airport, Li Xiaohan and Carl were all left behind, and the palace and the people in the palace were the only ones in Joseph's mind.

On November 21, 1988, Joseph returned to the Duchy of Nord, and not many people learned the news, and only about 30 guards greeted him at the airport.

Half an hour away, Joseph didn't even watch the subtle changes on the sides of the street, his mind was full of Nord Palace and Kate until ......

"Uniform signage?"

"Yes, this is the suggestion of Her Royal Highness Kate, she thinks the signs on the street are too messy, so she forced the merchants to change them."

William had always been in Nord proper, and Joseph's safety was the responsibility of the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, so it can be said that he and William had not seen each other for some time.

"Is there anything else?"

"His Royal Highness has made some management of the various shops on the street, and the merger and transfer of duplication and vicious competition have been carried out, although some people are not satisfied, but the overall is not bad."

William was only the head of the Guards Bureau, so what he knew was only a rough idea. (To be continued)
