Chapter 4: Father's Advice

"Banquet?" Heliga repeated the word his father had just uttered, his expression very surprised, "At this time? ”

"Hmm. I know what you're wondering about...... This seems to be what Count Gorti meant by themselves. The reason why they chose this time is not because it has anything to do with the civil war, but because they hold a similar gathering at this time every year, and this time it is on an unprecedented scale. ”

"Why?" Heliga was puzzled, it was obviously a time of war, but it was even grander than before? Could it be that the alliance of nobles' confidence in the civil war has swelled to this extent?

"Because of the nobles in his chamber of commerce circle, there will always be a few people every year who are not on the Gongdu's side at this time because of various business problems. This time, because of the civil war, the economy of the entire empire shrank slightly, and the transportation blockade caused by the civil war made the flow of trade and other things even more difficult...... In addition, due to the civil war, the Epstein Foundation seems to have temporarily terminated many transactions involving the nobles of the empire in order to avoid losses. ”

"In other words, because of the civil war, these people have nowhere to go, so they can only sit together and drink and have fun?" For this reason, Hyliga felt a little crying and laughing, "Then they will probably be angry with Duke Elbaria, one of the leaders of the war, right?" ”

"yes. They also invited the Duke to their banquet, probably wanting to take this opportunity to ask the Duke to give them a green light or something...... As a result, it is probably because they are struggling with the battle for power with Duke Kane, so Duke El Barrea is not in the mood to deal with them at all. Werners smiled mockingly, "So, this is probably a convention they use to whine." And they invited me to go. ”

"Anyway, that's all you have a year or two...... It's just that going to that kind of banquet at this time, how to say it, it inevitably feels a little strange. Heliga scratched his head, "Can't you shirk it?" ”

"It doesn't feel very convenient." Warners sighed, "Just listen to them complain." Well? Wait a minute...... Speaking of which, I seem to have heard them say that the second young master of the Elbare family had arrived safely in the public capital of Baryahat, but as soon as he returned home, he was put under house arrest by his father. ”

"O Jusse...... It's a repetition of the past. At that time, when he was an intern, he was once played by his father like this...... The relationship between their father and son is really a bit delicate. ”

"Helmut is an old-fashioned man...... Or, in today's parlance, ignorance beyond measure. Not only did he not see the current trend of the world clearly, but he couldn't even handle his own affairs within the aristocratic faction...... If it weren't for the fact that he had a good son like Lufas. Wernas shook his head, unquestioning the conflict between Jusses and his father, "And don't you think his eldest son seems to have something like that?" Although it seems that Helmut is guarding the impregnable fortress of Ololos on the grounds of his advanced age, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that with his level, he will not be looked upon by the people of the noble alliance at all...... Compared to the calm and wise of the Marquis of Haines, the courage and skill of the Marquis of Rogner, and the strategic strategy of the Duke of Kane. ”

"Hmm...... I haven't seen those two marquises, although the Duke of Kane seems to have a similar problem...... But overall, it's much better than El Barea. He is a fool and has two very good sons, which is really strange in a sense. Heiliga laughed too.

"You really don't know?" Seeing that when he mentioned Lufas, Heiliga didn't react in any way, and Werner couldn't help but ask.

"Know what?" Heliga was stunned, he had no idea what his father was mentioning.

"Alas...... That's it. You'll know later, and saying it now will distract you. In the end, Werners didn't say anything, "Let's get back to the topic." This banquet is actually a good opportunity for you. Haven't you been looking for ways to probe the situation further afield? And among those classmates of yours, you haven't seen that Jusis yet, so you might be able to meet it by chance this time. Although it is ostensibly under house arrest, now that Baryahat is short of manpower, he will never be stupid enough to let the son of a duke's family go. ”

"Makes sense...... Jusse would definitely come out to help his father with things like managing the security of the city, and he would certainly be able to do it well with his abilities. Heiliga agreed with his father's judgment, but he was still a little noncommittal about his father's suggestion, "But...... Is that okay? Things are going on over there at the Vault......"

"You kid, you're just a "lord's agent", and the real lord here is still me." Werner joked with his son, "Don't worry...... I can take care of those things on your side. This week, I see that you have also been a little overwhelmed, and I think it is also a good choice to talk to your peers over there, especially the noble ladies. Besides, though Count Gotti did not say it explicitly, I could see that one or two of the nobles who regularly attended these meetings seemed to have long since looked down on someone like me, who was out of step with them...... If you go, they'll probably just think you're a kid or something, and they won't care so much. ”

"Look at what you say, how can the average noble lady compare to my companions." Heliga also followed his father's joke, and at the same time did have a sense of relief in his heart - after this week, he was indeed a little tired, in dealing with this kind of thing, simple strength is not so effective, more attention is paid to management and human feelings, his father must not do worse than himself, "But, what about the reason? ”

"You're almost fifteen years old, according to aristocratic tradition, and you're going to be in the social world in another year, though you've done everything quietly a long time ago." "However, they don't know about these things, so I think it's better to think of it as an early training for you...... It's also more reasonable, so that they don't get suspicious. ”

"In that case...... All right. Speaking of that shelter, I happen to have something to talk to you about here......"
