Chapter 198: Considerations of the Nobility
"Well...... With your current experience, you can't do what I'm talking about, come with me, but before I think I need to warn you, don't think that just because I let you in here means that I approve of you, although I admit that I did lose to you in the fight just now, but you have to remember that I don't go into battle with that kind of toy, if I really used my full strength just now, she would have fallen under my sword. ”
Toy......? Clarence frowned slightly, if memory serves, many nobles are very fond of this kind of thin sword, and usually carry this weapon with them, not to mention these, just now Javier completely suppressed Clarence's swordsmanship, why is this weapon called a "toy"?
"You look like you're puzzled, did I say something that makes you wonder? I think I've made it very clear, do you really think this weapon can be used on the battlefield? Like I said, it's just a toy for those idiots to play with, and you're too young, young man. ”
"Father has always spoken very directly, please don't care, I ......"
"No...... He wasn't wrong, and I shouldn't be angry for telling the truth. Looking at Claire's slightly nervous expression, Clarence just smiled, although he did lose a little bit of so-called demeanor, but in front of such a special nobleman, this demeanor was nothing more than stupidity.
"Hmm......" Claire looked at Cla~a~Ben~Read~ the novel Ybdu Lens with a little worry, and then looked back at her father, and after sighing, she walked towards her father's study with Clarence without saying a word.
The decoration of the mansion is not luxurious, but compared to the aristocracy who only knows how to decorate themselves with all kinds of extravagant objects, the interior of this mansion is particularly impressive, and the decoration of the whole building is lavish but not exaggerated, highlighting the elegant and simple taste of the owner, which is completely different from those extravagant decorations.
"Just sit down, I don't think you will have those troublesome etiquette, it just so happens that I don't like it either, Claire, you go out first, I have something to talk to him about."
"But my father ......"
"I told you to go out and wait a little bit, since I allowed him to come in here, I won't do anything to him, you should understand that, right?"
"That...... All right. Claire didn't say anything more, just slowly closed the door, leaving only the two of them in the study.
"Very well, so first of all, introduce yourself, I'm Javier? Ortorre, just call me Javier, this is no longer the era of the aristocracy, and I don't care about these so-called honorific titles, so young man, what is your name? “
"Clarence? Duke Kao. ”
"Good afternoon, dear Mr. Durkkao, I can see that you are still quite confused, and I understand that as a soldier you must be quite puzzled by what I am doing, so let me think about it...... Where should I start explaining these things to you? Or what are you most curious about? “
After Claire left, Javier seemed to relax a lot, it seems that there must be some reason why he let his daughter leave here, looking at this elegant man sitting on the sofa, Clarence thought for a while, and simply asked: "May I ask what you let your daughter contact with the general?" “
"Just ask me that? Scold...... You guys in the military do need the ability to interject, and you should see that I'm not here to talk nonsense with you, so let me ask you a question, what do you think of the relationship between me and Burnham? “
Hearing Clarence's direct question, Javier only smiled, which made Clarence feel a little uncomfortable, in front of this man, he always felt as if he had been completely seen through and there was nothing to hide, after thinking for a while, he replied softly: "I think there should not be much hatred between Your Excellency and the Great General, because the interests of the two are completely consistent with the interests of Noxus itself, and after so much time, the two should not be hostile to each other, right?" “
"You have the potential to become a diplomat, this is quite a beautiful statement, but unfortunately it is completely wrong" Javier clapped his hands as if sarcastically, picked up his glass and poured himself a glass of wine, "'Never trust that man', when the first king fell, this sentence became the creed that every generation of Ortore family heads firmly believed, if I had the opportunity, I would not hesitate to get rid of Burnham, and I believe that if there was a chance, this man would definitely do the same thing as me." “
"Please wait a minute," Clarence immediately stood up, "Can I take this as a sign that you have bad thoughts about the general?" “
"Of course, I don't mind how you add some exaggeration to what I'm saying before telling Burnham, if this man would be surprised by the news, I'm a little curious how he got into this position."
Clarence didn't really want to report this, he just wanted to show the majesty of the military in front of Javier, but unfortunately, not only did he not do this, but he made the man laugh at him.
"It seems that you no longer have doubts on this issue, so back to the topic just now, to be honest, I don't want my lovely daughter to contact that guy at all, but the situation is obvious now, and we no longer have a king to whom we can be allegiated, times have changed...... And I had to change my strategy. “
"What are you...... Are you showing weakness to me? “
As he said this, Javier's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he shook his glass slightly, drank the bright red liquid from the glass, and said softly as if with some bitterness, judging by everything he had just done and said, this man was a man who was used to being in control, and Clarence did not understand, if he wanted to show his strength, why bother saying this?
"Show weakness? Where did you come to this conclusion, I'm just stating the fact that even a guy like LeBlanc has been dealt with by Burnham's people, who do you think the next target will be? “
“…… You, of course. ”
"Yes, but I'll do the same thing as LeBlanc, and if Burnham decides to act, I'll definitely give Black Rose the perfect opportunity...... But before I do that, I think it's time for me to change the Ortorre family's old insistence. ”
