Chapter 303: Gossip
Where would Lyle have thought that in such a remote place as Black Iron Town, he could meet an acquaintance like Hank. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hawkeye Hank, the most popular merchant in the royal capital's aristocratic circle. Since last winter, it seems to have suddenly disappeared from this world, leaving the sight of the royal capital aristocratic circle.
It was once thought that this great merchant who could always find something to suit the appetite of the nobles finally traveled all over the continent of Oro and collected all the goods that would make the nobles willing to pay for their wallets.
Who would have thought that in the spring of this year, he would make a strong comeback, first putting a box of toilet paper with a faint orange scent on the table of each nobleman, and then auctioning a few mirrors that can clearly reflect the figure of the person at the largest auction house in the royal capital.
Until now, many aristocratic wives have been looking for traces of Hank, hoping to buy a mirror like that at a high price.
For such a person, although Lyle is not afraid, he has no choice but to encircle almost the entire aristocratic circle of the royal capital.
If he saw that he asked the guards to bully a small lord, and then inadvertently gossiped about it after tea in the aristocratic circle, his face would be embarrassed.
Fortunately, he wasn't too impulsive, and Lyle secretly rejoiced. But letting Hank see himself being dried here is not a face-saving thing. Just as he was trying to figure out how to resolve the embarrassment, Hank hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.
"Lord Renault is really, I heard yesterday that you were coming, and I was busy preparing until midnight, I guess I was too busy today to forget such an important thing. ”
Can this be forgotten?
Lyle was angry and funny, this Hank was still the same as before, telling lies and not even making a draft.
However, Lyle was very delicate, and of course knew that Hank was looking for him to go down the stairs at this time. After a little hesitation, he let Hank respectfully hold his hand and get into the carriage.
Isn't it enough to keep here the jokes of those laborers?
This is to give Hank face, Lyle said fiercely in his heart, wait and wait to humiliate Renault, so that he can get out of his heart.
In the spacious living room, when Mia is fine, she huddles by the fireplace against the wall almost every day, lazily like a sleepy kitten.
When Renault was away, her energy was like that of a young sled dog, tossing and turning Black Iron Town from morning to night, and she didn't feel the slightest tiredness.
But as soon as Renault returned, she suddenly turned into a block of ice that was about to melt, and she was so lazy that she didn't even want to go out of the door.
"You're really not going to pick it up?"
At this time, Renault, who was sitting on the sidelines watching today's "Black Iron Town Daily", suddenly said because he heard the whistle of the Grizzly Bear entering the pit. If nothing goes wrong, Mia's brother, His Royal Highness Prince Lyle, will come back with Momiji.
"I've already taken it once. ”
Thinking of Lyle's face, Mia suddenly felt a wave of upset and irritability. Last time, if it wasn't for Lyle coming too suddenly, she didn't get any news beforehand, I'm afraid she wouldn't know where to hide for a long time.
Her elder brother always relied on the favor of His Majesty the King, and in addition to showing some respect for Kendrick, the eldest prince who will inherit the throne in the future, he did not take the other brothers and sisters into account at all.
Especially Mia, because she is the youngest, His Majesty naturally wants to pamper a little more, Lyle is like knocking over a big vinegar jar, as long as he catches Mia's little mistake, he will teach him a hard lesson in the tone of his brother.
However, Mia is lively and active by nature, and she likes to be lively, and she can be regarded as the No. 1 little devil in the circle of nobles in the royal capital, and she will be caught by Lyle in almost three days.
And there is no way to complain to His Majesty about such a thing, so Mia hates Lyle the most.
Behind his back, he often jokingly called him the housekeeper's wife.
Seeing that Mia really didn't seem to have any intention of getting up, Renault frowned and continued: "I can see that you don't like him, but he's also your brother, you can't be so big or small." ”
"Hmph, what's the matter with me? Now you're back. ”
Renaud sighed lightly, thinking to himself that he couldn't escape this trip.
It's not that he wants to put on a show, the key is that he has already guessed the general intention of Lyle's visit this time, and he can't agree to that matter anyway. So this time it is destined to be unhappy with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Thinking that the friendly relationship with the royal family that he had finally established might cause cracks to appear, Renault was still a little irritable.
In any case, the Golden Lion Dynasty dominates the entire Oro Continent, with thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation, and it is not a powerful force that can be shaken by his small Black Iron Town.
At this time, some guards said that Lyle was in Hank's carriage and was almost to the city hall.
This Hank, can't you take a tour of Black Iron Town first?, Renault grumbled in his heart, and reluctantly put on his coat with the help of Helei.
Anyway, it's a prince, and it's too much to go to the door and not pick it up.
"Mr. Hank, why are you in Black Iron Town?"
In the warm carriage, Lyle took the initiative to talk to Hank, because Hank's appearance was too much of a coincidence. He wondered if it was a real coincidence or a deliberate coincidence arranged by Renault.
"Your Highness Lyle, I am now the Second Affairs Officer of Black Iron Town. ”
What the?
Lyle's eyes widened almost in a gaffe.
Hawkeye Hank, a successful businessman who specializes in the business of the royal nobility, has been solicited by many nobles, including Lyle. Even His Majesty the King has vaguely revealed that Hank is a man of sufficient intelligence and ability to serve as the King's Chancellor of the Exchequer.
But Hank continued to live a wandering life in the Oro continent as if he hadn't heard it, bringing some surprises to the nobles from time to time, and living an extremely casual life.
It's only been a long time since he's been in Black Iron Town, and he's only served as a small, second affairs officer.
This...... It was so unimaginable that the shock in Lyle's heart made him forget the original purpose of asking this sentence.
He just wanted to know urgently why.
"Why, is it Renault who is embarrassing you?"
The only reason Lyle could think of was that Hank was caught by Renault, which is why he succumbed to this. Otherwise, only a fool would think that being the second minister of Black Iron Town would be more tempting than being the king's chancellor of the exchequer.
"Hehe, no, Your Highness Lyle, Lord Renault and I are very good friends. Hank laughed, "If I had to give me a reason to stay, I think it's because Black Iron Town can bring me good luck." ”
"Is your good luck still missing, which time the goods shipped back to the royal capital are not big sales, and the gold coins you earn can already be piled up into a mountain, right?"
"I don't think that's luck, that's the strength of being a businessman. I would like to say luck, maybe you've heard of it, I want a child, and it's a girl. ”
Lyle thought about it. The royal aristocratic circles all know that although Hank is rich and has three wives, he has no children.
Even many people secretly ridiculed Hank if he was suffering from some hidden disease, after all, the three wives could not get pregnant, which was obviously his own problem.
"So, you're a father now?"
"Thanks to your concern, Your Highness Lyle, not long ago my third wife helped me give birth to a daughter. ”
"That's congratulations. ”
It seems that this time when I returned to the royal capital, I had another conversation at the aristocratic gathering.
Lyle thought to himself, but he soon realized something was wrong. He's here to talk about it, and it's become gossip about Hank.
Just as he was trying to figure out how to turn the tide on this topic, the carriage slowly stopped outside the gate of the town hall in Black Iron (to be continued.) )
