Chapter 148: Invitation
At the same time that the princess and her grandmother Victoria I were meeting, Charlotte had returned to the lodgings and told Lormine about her meeting with the princess.
"That's what she said......" Listening to Charlotte's words, Luo Ming thought for a moment.
Then, he shrugged his shoulders: "What a clever princess, I'm a little scared of her." ”
Originally, Luo Ming planned to give the credit for coming up with that idea directly to the princess, and then receive a reward and a favor from the princess.
However, the princess bluntly said that she would give credit to the Grand Duchess for him - which in turn made Luo Ming owe a favor.
can be remembered by the female archduke, this is Jane in the emperor's heart, and most people don't have such a good opportunity to ask grandpa to sue grandma.
This princess is not only not a vase, but also a person with great wisdom?
Although Luo Ming was a little jealous, but if he thought about it carefully, the princess still had no threat to him now.
Although as the next female archduke, the princess will definitely further strengthen the centralization of power, suppress and weaken the power of the great nobles in the country.
But Luo Ming is still a knight now, and even if it develops, it will take time, and there is no reason for a small shrimp like him to be targeted immediately.
You can even assist the future Grand Duke, be her helper, and profit from it at the same time - when she grows stronger, the Grand Duchess will not be able to risk reducing a strong ally to herself.
"I really want to meet that princess. Luo Ming sighed.
Charlotte's eyes immediately sharpened: "If the princess offers a high price-"
Luo Ming knew what she wanted to ask, and immediately interrupted her and replied, "Don't think about it, it's because I don't want to be restrained too much, so I bargained with you and made you have no jurisdiction over me." ”
Charlotte's face was a little embarrassed, after all, he couldn't even control his vassals, which was a shame for the lord.
"But this also guarantees that I will not leave Charlotte and your allegiance to others, at most only verbal promises.
I have finally become such an unrestrained aristocrat today, and my own territory has great potential for development, why should I give up my freedom to serve others for a little petty profit. How about putting yourself in a collar?"
As she spoke, Luo Ming simply touched Charlotte's head and showed a smile that reassured her a lot.
In fact, Charlotte also knows very well in her heart that her so-called "feudal monarch" is just a fig leaf for Luo Ming, but she is also very satisfied with the current relationship.
I didn't have the wrist and strength to control the man in front of me at all.
If the status quo is maintained, at least this friendly relationship will be maintained.
============================================
In the next two weeks, Luo Ming and the others lived a life that was neither idle nor busy.
There were really a lot of young people who came to the door and hoped that Luo Ming could teach them swordsmanship, even if some people who were not determined were eliminated, there were still twelve people left. Three of them decided to follow Luo Ming all the time, even when he returned to the territory.
Although there is no shortage of swordsmanship masters in the principality, and even legendary powerhouses exist, how high is the threshold for those strong people, how can ordinary people casually worship the master?
But Luo Ming regarded this matter as a means to develop his connections, so he asked for a small fee, and he was willing to teach some real skills a little - the martial arts taught to him by the two masters, even if he opened the professor, ordinary people would never be able to learn it in twenty or thirty years, let alone be proficient, so he didn't care too much about occasionally revealing one or two tricks.
Legendary Sword Saints are really rare, and below that are the Great Sword Masters, and the number is not too large, and they all have a high status. Under the Great Sword Master, he is an ordinary sword master - and Luo Ming happens to be not weak among the sword masters, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a master.
For example, the legendary sword master is a senior professor of a top school, the great sword master is an ordinary professor of a top school, and Luo Ming, a good professor in an ordinary university, is actually not short of apprentices.
Except for the Church of the Lord of Dawn, where there is no place where a sword master is not valued.
In addition to teaching his apprentices, he also participated in two fencing competitions – not as a regular contestant, of course, but as a judge and ultimate gatekeeper.
He will fight the strongest of the victors one by one, and after the victory, point out some of their shortcomings and help them improve.
In this way, his fame spread completely.
There are actually a lot of people who are stronger than him, but those people are basically much older than him, and they won't come to participate in the swordsmanship competition of young people.
It can be said that the purpose of his coming to Brandon has been half accomplished.
The rest of the work included procuring some supplies that could not be bought in the countryside, recruiting some people, and getting closer to the royal family and attending the collective canonization ceremony.
Manpower...... Luo Ming looked at the three apprentices who decided to go back to Mia with him, they themselves could be called to help by themselves, and with the help of his current twelve disciples, it would not be a problem to find a few noble children who had no hope of inheriting the family business but had some real talent to serve.
Teaching apprentices can be a kind of torture for ordinary young people, but Luo Ming said that he had no problem with it, and even enjoyed it.
When the two masters were not free, the martial arts of the younger brothers and sisters were all taught by him, the senior brother, and he had been doing this kind of thing for three or four years now, and he was already proficient.
Teaching others is also the sorting and accumulation of what he has learned, laying a solid foundation, which is also a good thing for him who has soared to the level of a sword master by leaps and bounds.
While Lormin was enjoying this little day, the old messenger came to visit again, this time with a formal invitation.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess hopes to meet more young nobles, feel the future and vitality of the Principality, let everyone get to know each other, strengthen communication, and deepen friendship...... That's a good point. ”
After reading the invitation, Grant said with a smile.
Although it was a very written and official statement, it felt very sincere.
As the future ruler of the principality, it was indeed natural for Her Royal Highness to meet the young nobleman.
Merely...... Is it really that simple as this purpose?, Luo Ming thought a little suspiciously.
During this time, he also figured out what kind of powerful character the current Grand Duchess Victoria I is, and the princess she taught is definitely not stupid and sweet.
"Forget it. He quickly gave up thinking and knew too little information to determine the true situation.
All in all, as long as you prepare as you normally would at a banquet and have a little more attention, it shouldn't be a big problem.
