Shane came in and saw Claire's face with surprise, "Claire, why are you here, and you didn't say a word to me, so I can send someone to pick you up." ”

Claire smiled slightly, "I've been here so many times, I'm familiar with the road, send someone to pick me up." ”

After Shane took off his coat and put it away, he sat down on the sofa and asked, "Why do you have time to come to the royal capital, I remember that you fought with the lords near your territory a few days ago, right, shouldn't you be taking over their compensation now?" ”

"I asked Reagan to do these things, and he was much more experienced than I was." Claire smiled: "I came here this time because Mrs. Sophia asked me something, so I came." ”

"What's the matter?" Shane asked, but as soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to answer, "It can't be a matter of the Flame Plane, right?" ”

Claire's eyelids jumped and she asked, "You know that too?" ”

"Hmm." Shane nodded slowly, "My father called the eldest brother and second brother in Hill City back, and also called me over, just for the matter of the Flame Plane, he is a little too busy to be alone now. ”

Hearing this, a trace of curiosity rose in Claire's heart and asked, "How much share did your family take?" ”

Sean frowned and thought for a moment before replying, "Thirty-five percent, not as big as Lady Sophia's appetite, this is the share that my father thinks he can swallow after weighing it." ”

"And Prince Albert took 15 percent?" Claire was a little surprised, you must know that externally, these three magic shop giants are tied, Sophia has a bigger appetite this time, but Albert, as a prince, will not take that share.

Shane shook his head, "No, Prince Albert took ten percent of the share, and the remaining five percent was given to the small magic shops controlled by the other forces below. ”

Claire's doubts were even worse, but before she could ask, Shane took the initiative to explain.

"Prince Albert is old, and the younger generation in the family is very wasted, so they don't dare to let go in recent years, and this is also the reason why I made a mistake in working with Lady Sophia last time."

This Claire understands, not seeking no merit, but seeking no fault, no matter how he is also a member of the royal family, he can have a high status without fighting for power and profit.

Shane had some uncertain speculations in his mind, thinking that the reason why his fiancée was the youngest daughter of Prince Albert's family was because he wanted to recruit himself and then work for their family.

"It's because of these things that I'm so busy these days, and it's the first time I've taken over the family business." Shane sighed.

"It's better to be busy, and you should practice in advance for the head of the house." Claire laughed.

"Hahaha, that's what you said." Shane laughed and asked, "You should go to the party in a few days, right?" ”

"What party?" Claire asked.

"It's the gathering held by the nobles of the various forces involved in the Fury Flame Plane this time, which is equivalent to the oath banquet before the battle, and those nobles know each other at the gathering, so as not to have any handover problems."

Claire nodded, "The banquets in your royal capital are really constant, I should go." Claire wasn't so sure.

The next day, Sophia sent for Claire to tell Claire about the banquet and told him that he would be introduced to the other nobles at the banquet.

In the past, when Sophia brought him to the party, she would leave Claire behind, and then she disappeared without knowing where she had gone. Claire knew that Sophia was fulfilling her promise, and taking Claire to the side was equivalent to informing the other nobles, telling them that Claire was now the person under the auspices of the August family, and it would be convenient for you to do whatever he wanted to do in the future.

This can be regarded as a greeting in advance, and after the official position of the king is appointed, Claire can be regarded as truly stepping into the center of power in the royal capital.

Valley......

The scene of the party was different from the aristocratic teenagers who were drinking and having fun outside, and after Claire followed Shane in, she was quickly picked up by Sophia.

Before leaving, Sean looked at Claire and couldn't understand why his good brother was leaving him, and went into the infield, where his father had never taken him in.

The nobles who raised their glasses in the infield also found Claire following Sophia at this moment.

Among them, Shane's father, Earl Norton, recognized Claire's identity at first sight, but he didn't come forward to say hello immediately, but pushed his silver glasses in the corner, thinking about what Sophia's action meant.

Some other aristocratic forces attached to or closely related to the Auguste family quickly squeezed out a smile and walked up to greet Sophia when they saw Sophia come in.

"This is Claire, the Viscount of Griffin Collar, who will be an important partner of our August family in the future." Sophia's introduction is only one sentence.

But it was not difficult for those nobles to hear from Sophia's introduction that the Viscount Griffin beside her seemed to be like them, and he had become a person with real power in the kingdom.

They weren't surprised at all, with Sophia's means and the strength of the August family, it wouldn't be difficult to pull a border viscount who didn't have any power into the center of power in the royal capital.

After Sophia's introduction, some nobles began to exchange contact information with Claire and made friends, not asking for how good friends they could become after this party, but at least they had to be familiar.

Claire also responded politely to the nobles who were good friends, and these may be able to be used in the future, one of them is a nobleman Claire has been eyed, that person is an official of the kingdom's natural resources department, if Claire wants to buy a large number of magic ores at a low price in the future, there is a way on his side to go.

Of course, you must pay for the doorway, but compared to the little money paid, the profit margin is still very large.

Sophia's introduction is very useful, if it was before, even if Claire found this noble official, it would be difficult to get through the relationship with him no matter how much money she spent, but after this banquet, if Claire finds him in the future, she only needs to pay a certain price and ask him for help.

This is something that money can't solve, but power can easily do.

……

After everyone knew each other about the same, Sophia nodded Claire and drew his attention back.

He bowed his mouth to a half-open salon where only a few people were sitting on the sofa, and said softly, "Let's go, there's something else to introduce over there." ”

It was the meeting room where the top nobles of the real kingdom gathered, and the ordinary nobles with real power would consciously bypass it and would not approach it.

After seeing Sophia walking towards Claire with her, Earl Norton also stopped talking to the nobles on the side and stood up.

"Let's talk, I'm going over there." Norton pointed to the sharon over there, as the head of the Ansel family, he was naturally one of the top nobles in the kingdom, so he could naturally go there.

"Earl Norton, walk slowly."

"Go ahead, come on, remember to come back and have a drink with us."
