Chapter 278: Best Friend

"At first, I was a little worried about whether Luo Ming had any interest in Miana, but after thinking about it, he already had a few good opportunities if he wanted to plot against Miana.

And now that he knows that Vicky and I are friends, how can he do it as long as he doesn't lose his mind?

Charlotte said in a very reassuring tone.

After this half a year, she is no longer as naïve and immature as before, but her trust in Luo Ming has not changed, but from the initial emotional blind faith, to now maintaining trust through rational judgment, Victoria has witnessed her growth in the past six months.

Victoria also understood what her occasional look of worry was—not about the territory of worry, just about the friend of Lormine.

"Ambitious...... That's right, young man, he must not be able to hold back, and he wants to make a contribution. Victoria also looked at Charlotte, and suddenly laughed in her puzzled eyes, "For Charlotte's sake, I'll give him a chance and let him thank you a little more." ”

"No, Vicky, you are about to become the Grand Duke, and you should take a fair stand in order to convince the public. How will outsiders perceive favoritism in a trivial matter like mine?"

Charlotte reminded seriously: "It's normal to recruit a cronie like me as a staff member, no one can say anything." But if you start to use the power in your hands to do this kind of private thing before you officially succeed to the throne, I will definitely be scolded as a courtier who confuses the king, and you will become a soft-eared dumb king in the eyes of others.

If it takes three or five years, after your position is stable, you can do this kind of trivial matter, since we are friends, this little thing is nothing.

But Vicky, you are still relying on the support of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and you are in the stage of accumulating talent and prestige, and at this time, the slightest mistake may be grabbed by someone, and your face will be lost, that is, the prestige of the royal family will be hit. ”

Indeed, although this era is not like the late Ming Dynasty on the earth, a group of civil officials take pleasure in finding fault with the emperor, even if the emperor pulls them out to play the board, it is regarded as a wonderful way to increase fame, and I can't wait to fight a few more times - and then go out to publicize: the faint monarch will punish the minister casually, then the one who confronts the faint monarch must be the virtuous minister. Rely on this method to apply grease and powder to your face, so you can follow one after another.

But the royal family has not completed the centralization of power, and the control of the entire country is not enough, and the group of people under the royal family dare not find fault with the princess, but those local nobles and princes can make the royal family lose face. As soon as the Five Elements Mountain of the royal family is loosened, these grandson monkeys will have more room to jump.

Victoria looked at the young girl who was also a friend with touching eyes, and then the corners of her mouth curled.

"It's okay!

In fact, in this matter, it was Charlotte who inspired me with those words just now, and what I am going to do now is no longer a simple private matter, but a matter of national affairs!"

Victoria tugged at a bell rope and said, "Now give the order!"

The bell rang outside the door, and a maid entered, and Charlotte subconsciously took a piece of parchment, grabbed a quill pen, listened to Victoria's dictation, and wrote quickly, and the maid was also copying.

If you write too much every day, you can easily get tenosynovitis, knuckleoarthritis and other diseases, and the handwriting when you are tired is ugly. For the royal family, who ruled the principality for nearly a thousand years, this kind of thing was taught at about the age of eight.

In order to prevent this, orders are sometimes dictated and transcribed by a person close to them.

In order to prevent errors or deliberate tampering with the transcription command, two people who are not familiar with each other will listen to the command at the same time, one person will be responsible for copying it in neat and beautiful font, and the other person will copy it casually and then compare it with each other.

Although Victoria had seen Charlotte's loyal side as a royalist, a tight institutional guarantee was more reassuring than mere trust.

The maid had checked Charlotte's copy of the order correctly, and left the room, leaving Charlotte alone.

Since there was no one else, Victoria then relaxed, and no longer put on a majestic and holy appearance.

She pointed to the order, "You understand what I mean now, don't you?"

Not...... Speaking of which, since Charlotte has inspired me like this, I should also give a little reward and show my attitude - whoever can provide valuable advice will be rewarded. ”

Charlotte smiled and nodded, "Why don't you give me a vacant lot on the outskirts of the city?"

The land there is not expensive, and I build a house there, and every time I come to Brandon in the future, I don't have to worry about where to stay—and by giving me a piece of land, I am encouraging me to come to Brandon to live permanently, so that I can see you as a noble man often.

I don't need to say how many people in the Principality are eager to see you often, do I?"

Indeed, the Princess, or the future Grand Duke, offered a piece of land to stay in Brandon for a long time, which means "I wish you would stay in Brandon often, I want to see you", which can be said to be "the depth of the Holy Grace".

Even just seeing the princess can become the capital of many people to brag about. If you often see the princess, not only will you have face, but you will also not lack the inside - you can't make a fortune with the princess, how is it possible?

There will even be people who take this opportunity to see the princess to sue the princess - of course, he can use the majesty of the princess to protect his own rights and interests, and the princess can also receive benefits: not only can he know the real situation in the local area, but also take this opportunity to let the royal power go directly down to the local grassroots level to judge a case, and it will also establish the majesty of the royal power there, and reduce the idea of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", which is a great benefit.

Victoria readily agrees to Charlotte's suggestion, but at the same time, she is secretly thinking to herself...... After his position is secured, can he simply give Charlotte an official position, or even give the temptation to raise her title, so that she can stay in Brandon as her right-hand man as much as possible?

In the world of this principality, there are at least seven or eight hundred people as talented as Charlotte, if not a thousand, but there are really not many who can make Victoria feel at ease and trust.

Generations of loyalty, loyal royalists, their best friends, and they also show their talents...... According to my grandmother, this kind of person is simply a treasure from God, and if she is easily spared, it is not only a waste, but a crime!

And, there's another benefit to wooing Charlotte...... Victoria was thinking about how to put Lomin in her pocket.

There are loyal ministers inside, and good generals outside, and you can do a great career!
