The warm morning light shone into the Iron Castle, and the golden afterglow filled the entire hall.

"Mother!"

Two teen or eighteen-year-old girls dressed in a group of ladies saluted Amelia gracefully.

"Celis, Cecil, after breakfast, go obediently to the governess, the etiquette teacher that Sir invited for you came out of Wuthering Castle and knows the most elegant etiquette of the blue bloods!"

Amelia said with a calm face: "Even if the adults are not there, you can't skip class!" A well-bred lady wouldn't spend all day tending to flowers in her back garden, you see? ”

"We see, Mother!"

The two girls spit out their cute little pink tongues, lifted the hem of their skirts, and said with a hint of cunning in their expressions: "When will he come back, Lord Godfather?" ”

"Soon!"

Amelia looked at this scene, but she was secretly sighing in her heart.

Knowing that his two daughters have become famous beauties, a trace of affection is secretly hanging on the sir.

It's a pity that with their identity, it is impossible to become Lord Sizz's wife at this time, but the words of a mistress......

As if thinking of something, Amelia's cheeks immediately turned crimson.

"And ......"

The girl who looked younger, Cecil had a hesitant expression on her face: "That Lord Cisse is so annoying...... When is he leaving? ”

"Lord Cisse?"

The smile on Amelia's face suddenly turned cold, and her expression was a little nervous: "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He often looks at me and my sister with a squint!"

Cecil sneered, at her age, she already knew what she should know, and was very dissatisfied with Lord Cissé, who had taken the best rooms in the Iron Castle as soon as he came.

"What to do with him is a matter for Lord Jazz to decide!"

Amelia smiled again: "Alright...... It's time for the ladies to take today's lesson! ”

After the two young ladies left, the smile on her face gradually turned cold: "Sata Mama! ”

"Dear Madam, what have you called your servant!"

The door opened, and a tall, middle-aged woman with a cold face walked in.

"Lately, I've been keeping an eye on the two young ladies, especially the Lord Cisse, understand?"

Amelia is no ordinary noblewoman, and her previous hardships have trained her.

"If this person really has bad intentions, treat him the same way he did with the arrogant people before......"

She sneered, causing Mama Sata's body to tremble, after all, that kind of punishment was a little too cruel for a man.

When Sata went out, Jof, dressed in military uniform, walked in again: "Madam! ”

Old Joff, due to physical reasons, was not fit to continue to stay in the main battle unit, but he was more than enough to serve as a sheriff with rich experience, and pushed the law and order of the entire Karos Territory to a good situation.

"What's the matter?"

Amelia rubbed her eyebrows, feeling that Joff would not bring any good news.

"That Lord Cissé, not only is he very interested in our factory, but several of his entourage even crossed the cordon without permission last night, and have been captured by the cuirass factory's factory guard!"

"Thieves?!"

Amelia was startled at first, then smiled.

In several key departments involving steel, weapons, etc., Wu Ming practiced military management, and those factory protection teams were all trained by soldiers for a long time and led by experienced non-commissioned officers.

To spy on intelligence at this level of difficulty, unless you attack with more force, it is not much different from sending you to death.

"There are five people in total, what should be done?"

Joff asked solemnly.

"What information did they get into?"

"The most successful one was just a glance at our production line from afar, and the various data rooms and drawing libraries were intact!"

Joff straightened his chest and replied with some pride.

"All of them will be taken into custody!"

Amelia made a decision immediately.

"But...... Lord's side......" Jof asked, hesitantly.

"Remember, Joff, you caught some smugglers last night! What is Lord Cissé? And how can it be mixed with such filthy scum? ”

Amelia smiled.

"I see, ma'am!"

Jove's eyes lit up, and he bowed and bowed.

……

When she was done, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, and a look of tiredness appeared on her face.

Only then will she realize that she is still a woman and wants to have an arm to lean on.

"My lord, please come back as soon as possible!"

Amelia thought silently in her heart, but when she entered the living room, she brought a professional smile on her face again, and looked at a nobleman in the seat who was holding a knife and fork and was dealing with a piece of ham: "Good day, Lord Cisse, I hope everything here will satisfy you!" ”

Lord Cisse, who was called Cisse, looked to be less than forty years old, with blue eyes, pale skin, and a wig on his head, and almost as soon as he came close to him, there was a disgusting smell of perfume in the air.

Of course, Amelia knew the details of this lord.

In fact, in the Fengying Plain, the nobles who can obtain the actual title of the mining are only a small number after all, and some of the descendants of the nobles, empty of noble blood, have poor livelihoods, can not maintain a self-sufficient life, and have to take refuge in other big nobles, hoping to get paid for their service, or even a fief reward.

Some of them have made meritorious deeds, but have not yet been qualified to be granted a fief, or if they really have no extra land, they will be temporarily canonized as honorary knights, a title that cannot be hereditary, and they are considered half nobles.

But after having this title, as long as you can get a fief and pass it on, you will slowly enter the aristocratic class.

Therefore, this kind of honorary lord is the craziest dog under the hands of those great nobles, and there is little they dare not do in order to brush up on enough merit.

"In fact...... Very bad! ”

Lord Cisse stuffed every piece of food on the table into his mouth, as if he had a bottomless pit in his stomach, and a pair of eyes looked Amelia up and down, that kind of presumptuous gaze, which made Amelia secretly grit her teeth.

"I want to see Sir William Wallace!"

In a posture that he thought was elegant, he wiped his mouth with a white napkin, and then said, "But he keeps going out!" Oh! Didn't William know his responsibility to the land as a lord? ”

"My lord is a good lord who brings an endless source of wealth to the realm, so that every citizen can live and work in peace!"

Amelia replied without giving an inch.

"But a good lord should not leave his fiefdom, let alone fail to fulfill his obligations!"

Cisse brandished his knife and fork, and a silver dinner knife was almost pointed at Amelia's nose: "William's vassal, the great leader of the blue bloods, the Earl of the Blue Mountains has been caught in the middle of the war, and as a vassal, he has fled when he should have fulfilled his duty!" What is it? This is the fiercest betrayal of the sacred oath! ”

He accused William with righteous words, but his heart was already happy.

The wealth of the Karos Territory is well-known in the entire Wind Firefly Plain, this time it is not good to make a lot of money, how can it be worthy of his hard work in planning this task, as well as the fatigue of running all the way?

Even, in his heart, there is a secret thought.

He knew that his feudal lord was dissatisfied with Sir William, and if he could find an opportunity, he would take away the knight's domain and then transfer it to himself...... It was as if he saw a river flowing with Kindron in front of him!

Although it was difficult, with the connections he had accumulated with the Earl, there was no chance that he would be able to invest all his gains as a bribe.

As for the returns? It doesn't matter, this land will give you the best return.

As a feudal lord, collecting taxes is instinct, and if you don't scrape a few feet here, how can you be worthy of him?

"I protest!"

Amelia's towering chest rose and fell in anger: "Sir William left the territory before the conscription order arrived!" Not intentionally violating their responsibilities! And, at the same time as I received the call-up order, I had already ordered a hundred soldiers to do their lordship's duty to the Earl of the Blue Mountains! ”

"But facts are facts! Even a thousand strong soldiers could not replace the fact that their knights had never arrived! ”

Lord Cisse took out a piece of parchment covered with Blue Tiger Fire Paint and shrugged his shoulders: "I regret to inform you that once a month has passed, Sir William has not returned, I will have to temporarily 'take over' this territory in accordance with the Earl's decree. ”

"Lord Jazz will return!"

Amelia said in a deep voice, her expression resolute.

"Okay!"

Cisse was lying in the chair with a lazy expression, and asked as if unintentionally, "Besides...... Where have my faithful servants gone? ”

"This should be asked of yourself!"

Amelia sneered.

"My man is missing in Carros......" Cisse's face turned cold, "You must give me a satisfactory answer!" ”

"Your Excellency!"

At this time, another gray-clothed servant quickly entered and whispered a few words to him, causing Cisse to stand up and his face turned red: "Do you want to rebel when you dare to detain the earl's messenger?" ”

Amelia was shocked, she didn't expect the other party to find out so quickly.

"I'm going to go to the factory now, get them to hand over my servants, and hang all the people who did it to them!"

Lord Cisse seized the opportunity, and with an excited look in his eyes, he roared loudly.

"You...... You don't have the right to do that! ”

Amelia said in a deep voice.

"I have the right to do so, because at this time, I represent the Count!"

Cissé replied with a smug face.
