In the afternoon, after a so-called poaching storm, Weissbach's family dinner was approaching.

The so-called family dinner was a social event for communicating feelings within the family in this era, attended by the direct family of the Weissbach family, as well as members of the major branches, as well as the vassals within the family, as well as the knights of the direct retainer class.

Of course, the Azure Sword Mercenary Group is not qualified to attend. If you have to talk about qualifications, only Eleanor and Asker can enter.

The former had to participate as the daughter of the main family, and the latter found a reason to shirk it.

On the island of the fire, with the resources provided by Eleanor, the girls began to build the house, based on the original wooden house and flower beds, and they built the foundations of the kitchen, library, and movie room, and even designed a large bathroom behind the wooden house.

The water in the bathrooms is intended to be brought in from the lake below the mountain, and it will be purified and heated by filter chambers and boilers, and Nuo will take care of all the hydropower projects.

"Speaking of which." When everyone gathered to discuss the details of the plan, Medea suddenly sneered and said, "This afternoon, the steward of the Weissbach family suddenly came to me, as if he was planning to poach me from the team. ”

"I guess this is not the only one who has happened to me, if any of you have accepted the other party's conditions and plan to leave like Hood, please tell me as soon as possible, okay? Don't continue to waste everyone's feelings. ”

The girls looked at each other.

"I was indeed approached by a man claiming to be the director of the hospital and invited me to be their chief physician." "I've refused. ”

"The chief physician's annual salary should be very high, right?" Medea sneered, "You're not impressed? ”

"Not impressed." Noh replied with a perfect smile that could not be faulted.

Medea habitually started to read her mind again, but found that No's mental body quickly changed color, and she couldn't read anything for a while.

"You forgot that I also took a psychic potion recently?" No's voice rang in her head.

"Oh, looks like we've got a new person in our mind-reading club." Medea raised the corners of her mouth, "Have you read her mind to the person who is trying to recruit you?" ”

"Her poaching behavior should have been at the behest of Eleanor and her brother." Noe replied.

"Same information as I know." Medea replied.

"Why would he do that?" Noe was puzzled.

"I don't know." Medea said, "I can only be sure that he has no ill will." ”

"That's even weirder." Noe said.

Medea's gaze fell on Sidlifa, who showed a blank expression and said:

"Speaking of which, there is indeed a man who calls himself a knight chief, named John, and invites me to compete with him today."

"How?" Medea immediately asked, "Did he deliberately defeat your men, and then take advantage of the situation to praise you for your strength, and finally take the opportunity to invite you to take up some position?" ”

"Huh? There is no eh. "That guy was so weak that I knocked him to the ground with an axe." ”

"There were a lot of guys who challenged me in the follow-up, all of them were a group of rookies, and there were no ones who could go through three moves under my hands."

Medea and Nou looked at each other.

Obviously, it's not that there are no people who have come to woo Sidlifa, it's just that this stupid girl put people down when she saw them, and she didn't give people a chance to speak at all.

"We met it too." Sheila said quietly, "Today we are in the Palace Art Gallery...... When I was on a tour, I met people with similar goals. ”

"Peggy kicked him away at the time, and then we asked Mia to contact Eleanor, and she said she would take care of the matter so we didn't have to worry."

I see, Medea nodded. The underage girls group was not co-opted, and the adult girls naturally would not be coaxed and deceived, as for the group leader......

"Ah, today her brother invited me to be his vassal." Aske seemed to remember such a thing and said.

"You promised?" Medea is incredibly authentic.

"That's right." Asker said.

The girls fell in unison.

"Make no mistake!" Medea stood up angrily, "In the end, we all withstood the temptation, but what happened to you, as the head of the regiment, who took the lead in defecting?!" ”

"He's clearly poaching all of us on a massive scale! If you are so undetermined, then what kind of corner will people dig, and it would be good to directly package and buy our Azure Sword from you! ”

"Don't get so excited." Asker laughed and said, "It's just a name." ”

He explained the matter in detail, and the girls were stunned for a moment.

So Asker doesn't have to pay anything, he gets a knight's title and a fief for nothing, and he automatically makes money every year, and someone takes care of it for him?

"Oh my God, why can't this kind of good thing happen to me!" Mia cried out with envy and hatred.

"Ahem, I'm going to use all the tax revenue from that plot into our team's public funds for the benefit of everyone." Asker cleared his throat and said.

"Wow!"

"Awesome!"

"The head of the regiment is selfless!"

Since he had said so, the girls all applauded in unison.

Wait a minute, isn't this team his? Why did he put his own money into his own team, and the left hand was turned into the right hand, and we still have to thank him?

Such thoughts rose one after another among the girls, so that the applause slowly subsided, and only a somewhat awkward silence remained.

"That's right." Mia pulled something out of the bag, "This is what you said, in the hallway of the Court of Art, from the box of the 'madman Ludwig'." ”

She showed the object in her hand, a hexagonal handle with a full brassish sheen, which looked like a key and a clockwork of something.

In the banquet hall, there are countless meals and desserts spread out like an assembly line. Dressed in bright lights, guests talked softly, laughing and toasting.

The most eye-catching are naturally the three members of the family, Viscount Henry, an officer of the royal guard, who has just returned from the Duchy of Lorraine, Lady Elisabeth, who has returned from Thuringia to visit her family, and Miss Eleanor, who has been missing for many years.

"It's a pity that my father isn't here." Elizabeth said regretfully, "Otherwise, the family would be together." ”

"Mother's health is still not good?" Henry asked.

"It's been a little better this month, and I'm able to get out of bed and walk around." Ludwig sighed.

"Eleanor, go. We went to see the Mother. Elizabeth took Eleanor's hand, and the two noble ladies left the banquet hall, leaving the guests with a sigh.

Ludwig knew that Elizabeth was deliberately leaving them "men's talk time", so he got up quietly and pretended to go to the bathroom.

Henry also got up in understanding, and followed his brother Ludwig out of the banquet hall and upstairs, to the duke's study, where their father, the Duke of Bavaria, usually worked.

"What is Your Majesty's attitude?" As soon as the door was closed, Ludwig asked impatiently.

"Of course it's war." Henry lowered his voice and said, "The messenger of the Wolf family has arrived in Aachen. ”

"How?"

"Wolf claimed that they did not voluntarily start the war, but were persecuted by the Holy See."

"Repeat the same old tune, Your Majesty will believe it?"

"Believe it or not, war is imminent." Henry crossed his arms and leaned against the door of the bookcase, "Your Majesty's side has not failed to use this war to integrate the military forces of various principalities. ”

"If you directly face the Holy See, there is a breaking and expulsion order placed there, and everyone will inevitably feel worried. Now the Wolf family jumped out and used them as targets to gather the strength of each principality and grasp it in their hands. ”
