Chapter 9 Earl D. Charles
Hours before Kyle's visit, a little-known meeting was taking place in the city, Franburg, near Newman's territory.
[Venue: Celia Jockey Club]
This clubhouse, which caters mainly to the aristocracy and the well-established knightly class, occupies a considerable territory in the aristocratic district and the bustling commercial streets of Fransburg.
Horse racing, knight duels, beast races, human-beast competitions...... Most of the entertainment that can attract the blood of the ruling class can be found here.
At this time, on the viewing platform on the second floor of the horse racing venue, there were several people drinking tea and talking.
"I don't know what Count Lei Zhe is doing today, I have booked the second-floor viewing platform of this Celia and invited me over, this is not a small number."
Baron Newman is an adventurer in the prime of life, who believes in the god of the sea and advocates adventure, he is in his forties this year, and his face is rarely wrinkled with a calm expression.
And the full name of the Count of Lei Zhe he said should be Lei Zhe ยท D. Charles.
As a branch of the ruling ruler of the Duchy of England, Lionheart's lineage, although it is far less rooted than the main family, it still inherits the bloodline of Lionheart, and still allows the patriarch of the Charles family to inherit the position of earl.
In terms of blood relationship, Kyle still has to call this uncle.
It's just that whether Count Ray Zhe is willing to admit it or not is another matter.
The suppression of the aristocratic class, coupled with the indescribable status of the nobles, Rao is a baron like Baron Newman, who has made a lot of contributions to the principality, and in addition to feeling bad for him, he still has to suppress his emotions and respectfully shout "Lord Earl".
Letzer is also in his early sixties now, dressed in exquisite aristocratic clothes in a baroque style, and his face in his early thirties, which does not match his age, is three points younger than Baron Newman.
At this time, the Earl had a formulaic smile on his face, and asked the maid serving beside him to step back, and then said with a smile:
"I really want to discuss this matter with Baron Newman, after all, you have a very good relationship with that brother who is not a good person, and I think that between you and me, you can also be regarded as half of the friends."
Count Lei Zhe paused after his voice fell, and then continued: "I also want to ask you about Anthony a few months ago, after Anthony returned from the royal capital, did he tell you anything?" โ
Newmando glanced at Count Leizhe, chuckled, and said, "Just now I was thinking about how I, a little new nobleman, could afford to be invited by the Earl to take a seat.
Now it seems that Count Lei Zhe really does not care about your brother in general. โ
Baron Newman laughed. Lei Zhe's voice was a little heavier when he read the word "baron", and after a pause, he continued: "The main thing is that my younger brother, who deviates from the will of the family, has always been really worrying. โ
Newman shook his head: "If you really have a heart, Anthony never saw you when he was alive. โ
"Then he needs to be willing to see me."
Lei Zhe sighed, straightened his face, and said in a different tone: "I heard that the daughter of Baron Newman is famous in the royal capital, and Charles is also a little famous among the nobles.
It just so happens that my unsuccessful child is the right age, and if I can marry the genius of the Knight Academy, I can also achieve a good reputation. โ
"Charles's family is too big, I was used to drifting on the sea in my early years, and I never thought that I would be loved by Lionheart, and I took the position of a baron, and let her grow wild since I was a child.
It's naturally a good thing to enter the door of the earl's house, but I'm afraid that she will block you Count Leizhe, the eldest brother Anthony's family is just right, and he is a hereditary baron with his ability, and he doesn't despise my life that has drifted for half of his life, so he ......"
Newman said this, with just the right amount of hesitation on his face: "I don't think Lord Lei Zhe knows that the little girl has a marriage contract, and Elanna is a blessed person to be so praised by you."
The family doesn't talk to each other, and it's a good thing to be able to talk to your brother, so you don't think you care about anything else, right?! โ
Lei Zhe looked meaningfully at this middle-aged man who Gu Zuo said to him, squinted his eyes, and said, "Think clearly?" โ
"It's not clear what to say, it's a good thing to be loved by the Charles family, it's a great thing."
"Now, I somewhat believe what the outside world says, that Mr. Newman and my brother are like brothers." Lei Zhe nodded, and didn't say anything more.
"Then ......" Baron Newman groaned, and had the intention to retire directly, but after all, in the face of Lei Zhe's aggressive gaze, he couldn't say it at the first time.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more solemn.
Suddenly, I heard a waiter knocking lightly on the door outside the viewing platform, and without waiting for Lei Zhe to react, he tried to push the door and enter.
Lei Zhe showed a slightly dissatisfied look on his face, and the arrival at this time undoubtedly interrupted the sense of oppression he deliberately created, and his voice rose slightly for a while:
"When did Celia's waiter become so rude?"
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Count Lei Zhe's face, the waiter took a small step back in horror for a while.
Suddenly, a warm laugh came from behind, and the waiter finally reacted, tried to suppress the uneasy expression on his face, and said to Newman:
"Master Newman, I received a news from the Mage Guild here, and someone from your family came to visit, so your butler sent the news."
Baron Newman had a relaxed look on his face and said, "Good, good, good!" I'm really bothering you. โ
I don't know what he meant, but apparently Count Leizhe heard him say this, and his face was even worse.
With a look of apology on Baron Newman's face, which looked a little swarthy because of his perennial sailing, he looked at Count Razor and said:
"Lord Earl, there is something important at home, let's get here here for the time being, and the next time there is a banquet at home, please be sure to enjoy the light."
"That'...... We'll talk about it tomorrow. โ
The formulaic smile on Count Lei Zhe's face still had an unswerving color after all, and he did not force him to stay, and when Baron Newman left, the smile on his face instantly converged, and he said coldly:
"Do you think there is some truth in what this man said?"
Suddenly, a dry, hoarse voice came from the corner of the viewing platform, which looked very normal:
"Who cares if it's true or not? After all, it still depends on what you mean, if you really want to know the secret of Young Master Anthony's promotion to the Holy Domain so quickly, who can stop you?
That half-breed, without the support of Young Master Anthony, how can you be taken care of, aren't you still up to you? โ
Lei Zhe glanced indifferently at the distorted figure in the shadows, sneered and said, "How do I feel, you really want to attach great importance to that illegitimate child?" โ
"After all, I am a servant of the shadow at your service, and it is my duty to clear all obstacles that stand in your way." The man in the shadows bowed, and there was a chuckle in his voice.
But the next moment, an extremely suppressed muffled snort came.
Lei Zhe didn't know when he was already grasping a small piece of meat in his hand, and when he pressed it down with his fingers, the body of the person who merged with the shadow trembled even more violently.
"What I allow you to say, you can say, what I don't allow you to say, just be honest and silent. Even if that half-breed is not a wild breed that I recognize, he still has the blood of the Charles family in his veins.
I can decide what to do with him, but that doesn't mean you can, you can't even think about it, you know? โ
"Yes...... Your will. โ
Lei Zhe knocked on the table unhurriedly and said, "I don't believe that Newman's backstage can be so patient, what the old man doesn't give me, I will take it with my ability." โ
