-31- Worthy of the Earl!

"Your Excellency Count Castel, I haven't seen you for many years."

Viscount Remisio bowed slightly to Charlotte, looked at the slim girl and smiled:

"I didn't expect that after all these years, you are now the same as your mother, Lady Anne...... Well, pretty. ”

Charlotte: ......

Why is it that whenever someone wants to politely praise her for growing up, they end up changing their words euphemistically after glancing at her height?!

Isn't it just a little bit smaller and a little more childish in appearance!

I knew that now, when I hung on the cross, I shouldn't have taken the power of the old witch, even if I became a blood clan, I had to wait for it to develop again!

Listening to Viscount Remisio's euphemistic praise, Charlotte's heart was filled with residual thoughts.

On the other side, the senior steward of the mining workshop was completely panicked:

"Mistress Remisio, this is not ...... with what we said."

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and bring down this sinner who slanders the nobles of the kingdom?"

Viscount Remisio glanced at the soldiers disapprovingly and shouted.

Following his command, the kingdom soldiers brutally silenced the senior steward of the mining workshop and twisted him down.

Charlotte's gaze followed the frightened senior steward as she disappeared into the army, while Viscount Remisio saluted again:

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Earl Castell, I didn't know that this guy would dare to make a move against the nobles of the kingdom, and I have been deceived by him and even thought that he really represented the Castel family."

"Uh...... I just heard that the head of the mining workshop, Cod, was executed by you for betraying his family? ”

Charlotte withdrew her gaze from following the senior steward, smiled slightly, and said:

"Codd is not from the Castel family, he is a spy planted by some pretenders, and for so many years he has been sentenced to murder miners, steal Castre's Mithril and lie about the depletion of Mithril mines."

Charlotte's words were not loud.

However, it soon caused a new commotion among the crowd:

"What? Is the miner's disappearance related to the Cod steward? ”

"Phew! These stewards ...... What a bad conscience! ”

"Mithril Mine...... Isn't it depleted either? ”

"I knew it! Even the veins on the royal family's side are fine, how can there be a problem on Castel's side? ”

Viscount Remisio also jumped out of the corner of his eye:

"Oh? To put it this way...... Castre's Mithril Mine hasn't dried up? ”

"Of course."

Charlotte nodded smugly.

Viscount Remisio breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is really good, the veins have always been one, you don't know, after the news of the depletion of the Castel family's mythril mine reached the royal capital, it is said that His Majesty has been worried that there will be problems in the entire Castel Mythril mine, and now the truth is revealed, it is finally a false alarm."

"yes, a false alarm......"

Charlotte sighed slightly, with a sigh on her face:

"I didn't expect that my Castel family had left the territory for so many years, and there would be so many moths, not only to deceive the superiors and subordinates, but also to dare to do something to me."

"Do it to you?!"

Viscount Remisio seemed taken aback:

"Who is so bold? How dare you do it to the nobles of the kingdom? ”

Charlotte shook her head and sighed:

"It's been many days ago, I was ambushed before entering the county, but fortunately I was protected by a strong man at that time, and I was able to turn defeat into victory......"

As she spoke, she said dissatisfiedly:

"Now that I think about it, the people who ambushed me in the first place are probably inseparable from these traitors, they just don't want me to return to the Castells, and for this reason, they even splashed dirty water on His Royal Highness Philip, which is really hateful!"

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

After hearing a certain name, Viscount Remisio was visibly refreshed.

Obviously he has a fierce face, but his ears and excited expression make him look like a village aunt who hears gossip news.

"Yes, they actually slandered His Royal Highness Philip, saying that His Royal Highness Philip did it to me......"

Charlotte said with some indignation.

After speaking, she sighed and didn't mention more:

"It's all in the past, but it makes you laugh."

Viscount Remisio was obviously aroused by Charlotte's unfinished words, and looked like he was obviously straightening up to listen to the gossip.

It's just that Charlotte doesn't want to talk about it anymore, although he is curious and uncomfortable, but he is not reluctant.

"Uh...... Your Excellency, now that the truth has been revealed, I will not delay you in handling the family affairs here, and will pay a visit when the dust settles. ”

Viscount Remisio scratched his head and said.

"It's natural, thank you for arriving in time today, suppressing these Xiaoxiao for me."

Charlotte said with a smile.

"Haha, if you need to, you can send someone to contact me at any time, I will be stationed outside the Silver Mining City, and I can still do it to help suppress a few traitors."

Viscount Remisio laughed.

After saying that, he once again performed a noble salute to Charlotte, and hurried away with the brightly equipped kingdom army.

Charlotte withdrew her gaze from the departing Kingdom soldiers and looked at the mine guards in front of her.

This time, the mine guards did not hesitate.

Led by two Rank Officers, hundreds of guards knelt down on one knee towards Charlotte, and at one knee, a large number of voices were quite loud in the night:

"I've seen the Earl!"

At the same time, among the mining stewards gathered here, there were also a few stewards who knelt down with the guards:

"I've seen the Earl!"

At this moment, there is no longer any objection to Charlotte's true identity.

Charlotte's gaze swept over the kneeling crowd, and finally fell on the many mining stewards whose faces were pale, constantly retreating, and even beginning to disappear into the crowd.

Her eyes turned cold, and she gave the first order after taking back control of the mine troops:

"The guards obey the order and take down the traitors of these families!"

With Charlotte's order, the mine guards immediately took action, and at a speed that was many times faster than before, they arrested the stewards who tried to escape one after another, and escorted them to Charlotte in full view of everyone.

As far as the eye can see, there are more than 30 people.

The mine stewards looked frightened and desperate, and many of them were frightened and peed their pants and cried for mercy.

Charlotte gave them a cold look:

"Hold it down, lock it up!"

"Yes."

The guards saluted respectfully and escorted all the stewards down, causing a round of applause from the surrounding miners.

On weekdays, it is not uncommon for mine stewards to be powerful and bully miners, and at this time, when they see these high-ranking stewards unlucky, the miners are naturally happy.

Not to mention, they even learned that the disappearance of the miners in the mine was also related to these betrayed stewards.

And after dealing with these obviously problematic workshop stewards, Charlotte looked around and looked at the remaining workshop stewards:

"You ...... Who has the highest status here? ”

"Back to ...... Back to the Earl, yes, it's me. ”

An elderly steward stepped forward tremblingly.

"What's your name?"

"I ...... My name is Hank, Hank de Liene-Castel, Senior Steward of the Mining Workshop, in charge of logistics. ”

The old steward replied respectfully.

Leon Castel? It turned out to be a relative of Baron Chalon?

Charlotte raised an eyebrow.

She groaned slightly, and said:

"The management of the Castel Mining Workshop is seriously derelict in its duties, and from today, all the workshop stewards will be relieved of their duties, and the affairs of the mining workshop will be handled by my butler Sebas for the time being."

As she spoke, she glanced at the old werewolf Logan in the crowd again, and said:

"Werewolf miner Logan, who helped the family to quell the rebellion in this incident, and because of his rich experience in the mine, he is now promoted to the senior director of the workshop to assist Sebas in managing the affairs of the workshop."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on the old werewolf.

Stunned, envious, dazed, excited...... All sorts of emotions are in it.

For a while, many miners regretted that the person who shouted "protect Lord Earl" was not themselves, and they were even more envious of the old werewolf Logan's shit luck.

The old werewolf was slightly stunned, and he didn't seem to expect such a big surprise to suddenly hit his head, and the whole person was a little dizzy.

But he quickly reacted, and suddenly his face was full of red, and he bowed down to Charlotte excitedly:

"Logan...... Listen! Logan...... We will definitely live up to the expectations of the Earl! ”

"As for you ......"

Charlotte's eyes fell on the remaining workshop stewards again:

"During the suspension period, you need to undergo a family investigation, and after passing the investigation, you can continue to assist Sebas and Logan in handling workshop matters, for a period of three months, and those who are qualified can continue to serve as stewards."

"Steward Hank, you will be the head of the Steward of Guilt, and you will also need to assist Sebas and Logan in getting acquainted with the work of the Workshop as soon as possible during the suspension, and if you are qualified, you can continue to serve as the Senior Steward in the Workshop."

The old steward trembled slightly, and bowed respectfully:

Hank...... Yes, sir. ”

Charlotte bowed slightly, her gaze swept over the remaining stewards, and raised her voice slightly:

"You ...... Can you have any objections? ”

The stewards looked at each other and bowed their heads slightly.

Soon, however, a different voice rang out:

"I ...... I have an objection! ”

"Huh?"

Charlotte looked over and saw that it was another young steward who objected.

"What objections do you have?"

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and asked.

"The appointment of the steward of the Castel Mining Workshop needs to be decided by a vote of the Council of Nobles! Even if you're an earl, you can't be arbitrary! ”

The steward said boldly.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows and asked:

"What's your name?"

"I'm Gerson de Lyglis!"

The young steward straightened his back and said.

Charlotte laughed:

"Come to Viscount Glis's house to assign the steward of the mine......

In the next moment, her expression turned cold and said:

"I have reason to believe that there was a betrayal of the aristocratic family in this mine incident, so I will temporarily take back the control of the mine."

"Mr. Gerson, are you opposing me on behalf of the Legliss family? Or is it that the Lygliss family also has a hand behind the deception of me this time? ”

As she spoke, Charlotte's eyes flashed slightly, and the prestige technique released itself.

Feeling the huge pressure that was pressing over at that moment, the young steward was obviously a little nervous:

"I ...... I...... No...... There is no ......"

He hesitated, sweated profusely, and finally sat back honestly.

Charlotte continued to look around, and all the remaining stewards did not dare to look at her again.

"That's it, Sebas, I want you to sort out the bills of the mining workshop within three days, and dig up all the filthy stuff, and make a list of stewards who can continue to work in the workshop."

"In addition, the list of miners who have disappeared in the silver mines over the years is counted, and the family members are sent to pay a bereavement in the name of the Castel family."

"Do as you command."

Sebas bowed his head slightly and bowed respectfully but gracefully to Charlotte.

After explaining Sebas, Charlotte looked at the people around her again:

"From tomorrow, the Castel mine will be closed for three days, if you have a situation that needs to be reported, or if you have a shady mining workshop that needs to be reported, you can report it directly to Sebas, and the meritorious person will be rewarded by the Castel family!"

Listening to Charlotte's words, the miners' eyes lit up, and everyone's eyes unconsciously swept over the old werewolf Logan, and the sound of breathing became heavy.

"Alright, this is over, you can go home and rest."

Charlotte said as she swept her eyes over the miners present.

With that, she was the first to get up and left the mine under the escort of the guards.

Looking at Charlotte's fading figure, the miners were in awe:

"Although the Earl is young, he is quite powerful!"

"Besides, Lord Earl is so good-looking......"

"Worthy of being the heir of the Castells family, worthy of being the Holy Maiden of the Holy Court!"

“……”

……

"You...... Is it really Lord Earl of Castel? ”

In front of the office of the mining workshop, the little werewolf Noah looked at Charlotte, who had changed her true face, and finally couldn't help but muster up the courage to ask.

Even though he already knew it was true, he felt as if he was still in a dream.

"Isn't it like?"

Charlotte laughed.

"Like ...... Oh no...... Not like ...... Oh no......"

Noah stammered, a little at a loss.

Charlotte no longer quipped, but looked him in the eye and said:

"Noah, you must keep our adventure in the mine a secret from the outside world, you know?"

As she spoke, the light in her eyes flowed, and a faint red light appeared.

The little werewolf looked dazed:

"Confidential...... What needs to be kept secret? ”

Charlotte smiled slightly:

"It's nothing, let's go home."

She had erased some of the other person's memories of the mine.

Of course, the main thing is the part of the memory of her own shot.

After sending off the little werewolf Noah, Charlotte enters the workshop's office.

As soon as she entered the office of the workshop manager, Sebas, who followed her in, whispered:

"Master, that Viscount Remisio...... Took the senior steward away. ”

Charlotte didn't seem surprised, but nodded slightly:

"I see."

"Master, do you know Viscount Remisio? I think he seems to be involved in some of the workshops, and most likely with Guicote, but you don't seem to care...... What the hell is going on? ”

Sebas asked curiously.

Charlotte sat down in the steward's chair, and Sebas immediately served a goblet and sweet milk.

Charlotte sipped the sweet milk and explained:

"I must have met Viscount Remisio a few times when I was a child, and I don't remember it clearly, but it was mentioned in the family information."

"Viscount Remisio is a member of the kingdom's military who has been stationed in the mine for a long time, and my father has also put a lot of effort into him, compiled a lot of information, and I also prepared it in advance before coming to the territory."

"He is a traditional silver moon nobleman, with a loving wife and a happy family, although he has a perverse personality, but he has a secret bottom line, and at the same time he is very afraid of trouble."

"The Viscount of Remisio, where he is located, is not rich because it has been devastated by the Star and Moon War for many years, and it can even be called a poor ......"

"In order to raise funds for the development of the territory, he often takes on some jobs with oil and water, and it is also interesting to take the initiative to come to the castle silver mine to guard it, and many years ago, my father gave him a lot of convenience, and it is not a deep old friend."

"He may have been involved in some of the workshops, but I'm afraid it's just money at best, and he won't break with the Castels for this."

"I took away the senior steward, I'm afraid he is also a little weak-hearted, presumably he must have done some dirty work."

"Maybe he once promised something, but after seeing you and me and evaluating the gains and losses, I'm afraid he will forget his promise to those traitors."

Sebas was slightly abrupt:

"I see."

However, he quickly frowned again:

"But I think such a person ...... Can't have deep friendships. ”

"You don't need to have deep friendships, this kind of person is actually a wall grass, just use it."

Charlotte said.

And as she spoke, she smiled slightly:

"For example...... I'm thinking about how to make a stumbling block for the third prince, isn't this just a chance? ”

"Huh?"

Sebas's heart fluttered.

Charlotte glanced at him and smiled:

"According to family records, Viscount Remisio is a hardcore supporter of the second prince."

At the same time, the Castel silver mine was home to the military of the kingdom.

As soon as Viscount Remisio entered the barracks, he hurriedly summoned his own soldiers, and ordered with a twinkle in his eyes:

"Quick, go and find out, what happened to the little count of Castel on the way to the territory!"
