In this chapter, Ector has made a judgment in his mind that he has climbed the other side, Etous. "Oh, then your Excellency is also young," Tous nodded. "It's over." Xia Di raised his hand. After talking for so long, Tous felt a little dry in his throat, and he lifted the meal...

"I, I think the number of people ...... It's too much work for the Isle of Wight......" Kayilu gritted her teeth and said with difficulty.

"Well, it's too many." Tous nodded, he had obviously expected Cairu to say that, so he said in a calm tone, "...... This is negotiable, I want to think about it...... What do you think of the fact that the number of men will be reduced by five hundred, but the Aktors must provide another two thousand bows, three thousand swords, and two hundred sets of armed steel armor, and if the number of these supplies can be doubled, and the number of people will be reduced by another five hundred? ”

…… That is, the final number is a thousand?

Kayilu thought quickly in her head.

Compared to the beginning, this seems to be an acceptable amount, but she still doesn't have the power to decide!

What to do......

Kailu's brain was in shambles.

It was the first time she had encountered such a headache, because these things were usually not her thoughts, but the father of the head of the family.

Thinking of this, the girl's heart had a hint of retreat.

However, Kayilu knew very well that if he avoided the problem in front of him, he really would never have any chance......

"Hmph......" Seeing that Cailu didn't answer for a long time, Tous became a little impatient.

He understood that this matter was not trivial, and it was not something that could be decided immediately, but he had to go to the northern border the day after tomorrow and command his soldiers to resist the foreign enemy, and there was no spare time for him to squander.

In addition, the atmosphere is really awkward now.

Therefore, Tous coughed lightly and took the initiative to ask.

"If you have any other difficulties, why don't you talk about ......?"

"Actually, before I came to you, I had already seen your commission from Uncle Al in the Adventurer's Guild." Cairu interrupted Tous abruptly, "I think we can protect your daughter from harm......"

If anyone could see through Kailu's inner thoughts at this time, they would be shocked.

Because the girl has given up thinking, she now just wants to use the methods she prepared before, such as the favor she planned to give to the other party before she came.

Teenage girl to give up treatment...... Or said slowly in a desperate tone.

"Huh? My commission? Oh, do you mean the commission to hire the guards......" Tous suddenly realized, "that is, you agree to the proposal?" You want to send troops to guard this castle and help protect my daughter, right? Tous said excitedly.

He was clearly misunderstood. One Reading Book ··

Kailu was also dumbfounded.

I can explain this way.

Her face was pale, and she simply pointed to Xia Di on the side and said, "By the way, if you can, I want to add one more request, can you make this person a riding ......?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Tous," the stakes are high, and if you can, please give us plenty of time to think about it. Please forgive us for not being able to make a decision right away. ”

A cold male voice came, drowning out Kayilu's voice.

Tous frowned and looked to see that it was the man next to Cailu who was speaking.

As far as he knew, the young man was a retinue of Kayilu.

How could the retinue arbitrarily intervene in negotiations between nobles?

This rude behavior is a great disrespect to him!

Seeing that Tous's eyes were burning with anger, Xia Di seemed to have expected the other party's attitude, put one hand to his chest, and saluted, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." Under the name of Xia Di, it is the servant of Miss Kayiru. ”

"Servant? How can a mere servant intervene in our conversation, and don't the subordinates of the Aktor family understand what etiquette is? Tous snorted.

"Of course I've learned etiquette." Xia Di smiled calmly, "However, it is not only limited to the etiquette of servants, I also know a little about the etiquette of nobles. His Highness Tous's urging was, in my opinion, not very respectful of Miss Cairu. ”

Ignoring the other party's increasingly impatient expression, Xia Di continued, "In addition, I have already obtained the permission of Lord Ektor a few days ago to join the Aktor family, although I am not yet an official member of the Aktor family, it is still my duty to maintain the dignity of Miss Kayilu. ”

"What ......? You say you're the son-in-law of the Aktor family? ”

Tous was taken aback.

This is the first time I've heard of Ae

Tous had already decided to expel this unruly subordinate, but if the other party was really the son-in-law of the Ector family, he could not do so, but rather that he could not ignore the other party's opinion for his own purposes.

Thinking of this, Tous fell into deep thought.

“？？？”

Compared to Tous, who was deep in thought, Kayilu on the side was the most shocked person, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Di had entered her house? She is an only daughter, so in this way, she will not become Xia Di's ...... What's that?

Kayilu's face changed, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but unexpectedly, his feet hurt.

The instep of her foot was stomped hard, and she was in pain and missed the opportunity to speak.

The initiator looked at her with a smile on his face, then turned to Tous and continued:

"Exactly. Lord Ector has decided to let us have a wedding after the election of the king. When the time comes, please be sure to come, too. ”

Xia Di had a frank and face, fearless.

Because he knew that the election of the king was a major event for the nobility.

Whether or not you participate, it will affect thousands of levels.

I hope that my son will become a dragon, and I hope that my daughter will become a phoenix.

Because your daughter became the king, you are not worthy of our family, and this situation is also possible. Or maybe because her daughter didn't become a king, she wanted to find a new son-in-law with more political value...... In short, whatever you want.

For high society, it is quite normal to change hexagrams after major events.

When the time comes, it's okay to just say that there is no such thing.

Xia Di thinks so.

Tous didn't think much about it, and when he saw that Cailu didn't immediately refute it, he believed it.

"Is that so, I didn't expect Ekto to find a fast son-in-law for himself so quickly, and the last time I talked to him, he also asked me to introduce some excellent noble children to him......

When Tous said this, a question immediately came to mind, and he asked in confusion: "By the way, your Excellency is from the Far East, right?" How are you ......? Done? ”

From the point of view of common sense, Ector is also a British nobleman, even if he is only a lord of the wild frontier now, he is still an upper class, how can the upper class easily accept a powerless foreign immigrant as a family member?

Tous was a little puzzled.

"Well...... It's a long story. It took a lot of effort for me to get Lord Ector's approval. Xia Di lowered his head implicitly, "Actually, my ancestors have been merchants for generations, and they are more familiar with maritime trade, especially the recent plan to open up a new maritime trade route connecting the East and the West......

Xia Di said that he was the son of the rich and powerful of the great powers in the East, and he came to open up new routes.

When Tous heard this, he nodded repeatedly.

I see.

That is, business dealings?

The opening of trade routes between the East and the West is a good thing of great significance for Britain and even for the entire European business community, because some of the science and technology of the East, and even commodities, are not available in the West, and if they can get a piece of the pie, the natural benefits will be endless.

Then, to some extent, Ektor climbed the other side

Tous made a judgment in his mind.

"Oh, then your Excellency is also young," Tous nodded.

"It's over." Xia Di raised his hand.

After talking for so long, Tous felt a little dry in his throat, and he raised the wine glass on the table, and found that the inside was empty, so he said, "Susan, it's almost time for after-dinner tea."

The maid near the other end of the gate heard her master's call and hurriedly came over with a teapot.

Her old face and gray silver hair immediately attracted Xia Di's attention.

Xia Di suddenly understood where the sense of disobedience he had just come from.

"Well, Mr. Xia, what's wrong with you?" Noticing Xia Di's strange expression, Tous asked puzzled.

"Nothing...... Ha ha. Xia Di came back to his senses and snorted.

He coughed lightly, thanked Susan, the old maid who had poured tea for him, and then turned to Tous and said, "I don't think it's too early, I wonder if you can let the two of us stay with you for the night?" As I said earlier, the stakes are high, and we need enough time to think about it, and Miss Kayiru seems to be tired......"

Xia Di secretly pushed Kayilu as he spoke, Kayilu glanced at him in a daze, only then did he understand his intentions, and hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "Uh, well, after a day's journey, I want to rest early." ”

“…… Oh, please put. Tous hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Susan, take them to the guest room. ”

"Yes." The old maid agreed.

"Thank you." Xia Di smiled at the old maid.

Then he got up, bent over, and stretched out his right hand to Kailu like a true servant.

Kayilu stared at his hand for a few seconds, the corners of her mouth twitching, but she grabbed his hand and stood up.

It's just that the hands are very hard.

Xia Di frowned slightly, but immediately regained his poker face.

"By the way, Mistress Tous, there's one more thing I want you to help with. Tomorrow we want to visit your land of Wantabiergroom, if you can, can you ask someone from the house to show us around? ”

Xia Di's implication was to show that they had plans to stay here for a short time.

This is a metaphor for the high chance of a collaborative proposal passing.

However, when Tous heard this, he frowned for some reason and said, "Of course you can, but ......"

"What?" Xia Di blinked in surprise.

Isn't it all over?

"You're a foreigner, you probably don't know it, it's not called Vantabilgroom, that's the name the Romans gave to the city, and the city is now called Winchester, remember."

“…… Oh, Winchester. Xia Di showed a subtle expression and nodded, "Well, a good name, I remember." ”
