Chapter 22: Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
The story of the teenager is not bizarre.
For Claire, who has read countless online novels of Blue Star in her previous life, this is just an ordinary bloody story.
The boy's name is Ivan, and his family has served the Hart family, who have ruled the town of Tilin for hundreds of years, and his father is the current butler of the Hart family.
Due to his father's housekeeper status, little Ivan has lived a good life since he was a child, not only worry-free about food and clothing, but also able to receive a rare education.
It's a pity that little Ivan didn't have the talent to become a professional, so he could only obediently learn the knowledge related to taking care of the territory and the nobility, hoping that after his father grew old, he would take over his father's class and become a respected baron's butler.
After all, before this, Little Iwanjia had served as the butler of the Hart family for four consecutive generations.
It's a pity that the ordinary and stable future that little Ivan longed for was ruthlessly broken not long ago.
The story is very simple, that is, the unscrupulous lord's son fell in love with little Ivan's young and beautiful sister, and little Ivan's sister was unwilling to take the initiative to dedicate herself, so she was brutally killed after being humiliated by the lord's son.
And this scene happened to be seen by little Ivan, who came back from collecting rent from the village in advance that day.
Little Ivan's sister, who has loved little Ivan since childhood, died, and little Ivan naturally wanted revenge, but he also understood the identity gap between the two sides, to put it bluntly, the other party was a descendant of a nobleman, and he, the nice one is the son of a housekeeper, and the ugly one is just a generation of slaves.
And once he rashly revealed this, not only would he die, but even his father Ivan Sr. would not be spared.
Therefore, little Ivan endured his grief, pretended not to know, and took the opportunity to go out to buy and ran to Trois-Rivières, wanting to become a mercenary and avenge his sister after accumulating strength.
Coincidentally, during this time, the situation in Trois-Rivières City was weird, and the matter of the knighthood was in an uproar, and Little Ivan naturally knew about it.
Little Ivan is not good at force, but his IQ is still enough, and with some rumors in the market, he also deduced Count Wright's intentions, and began to look for a target who could avenge him.
Claire, who has a weaker background but is stronger, has become a force that little Ivan feels can be relied upon.
Little Ivan's wisdom made Claire admire him, and the information about Tilling Town brought by the other party was even more helpful to Claire today.
So, Claire agreed to his request, avenged him, and killed the entire Hart family, and the accumulated wealth of the Hart family could be divided into two percent.
When he heard that little Ivan wanted to take away 20% of his wealth, Wade wanted to refuse on the spot, but Claire agreed on the spot.
Money is very important, but compared to money, Claire values talents,
As long as you get through the early stage, it is too easy for Claire to make money, and it is not easy to find management talents like Little Ivan. In particular, it is even more rare to have a certain degree of strategic analysis ability.
Reluctant to let the child not be a wolf, Claire still understands the truth of buying horse bones.
Although little Ivan only obeyed his orders for the time being and did not really owe allegiance to him, but, sooner or later.
It was also based on little Ivan's detailed information about the town of Tilin that made Claire abandon the better-looking town of Faro.
So, this is why Claire looks incomprehensible in the hall today. As for what he said, it was to dispel some people's doubts and cause them to infighting, so that no one would think about his town of Tilling.
I wonder how these self-proclaimed clever barons will feel when they learn that he has made a staggering fortune in the town of Tilling.
With the fiefdom confirmed, Earl Wright said a little more unnutritious scene, and the matter of the knighthood was finally settled.
All that remains is to report to the king and wait for the official canonization of the kingdom, and with the distance between Trois-Rivières City and the royal capital, it will be at least half a year later.
As the "spoils" were over, everyone left the hall one after another, but Claire received a notice from the servant that Count Wright invited him to the study for a conversation.
Thinking of the conversation between the two in the study before, Claire was very reluctant.
In his previous life, he was also a figure with a head and a face, but now he wants to flatter others, and he is not happy in his heart. But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and now they can only be obedient.
Claire entered the study very quickly, and came out quickly, and it only took more than ten minutes to talk to Earl Wright, and the communication between the two sides went smoothly, so that Claire couldn't believe it.
Earl Wright's name is Claire, and there are two main things, the first thing is to thank him again for his contribution to this war, and simply tell Claire a message.
That is, Count Wright has reached a certain tacit understanding with the other party with the heir of Count Marcus in his hands. In other words, this time Claire and the others are preparing to attack their respective fiefdoms, and they will not encounter the army of Count Marcas, at most only the local lords.
And afterwards, there is no need to worry about the revenge of Count Marcus.
As for the second thing, it is to ask Claire if she needs help, and he is willing to help.
Claire originally thought that Count Wright was talking about fun, and casually mentioned that she had no money and no soldiers, but she never thought that Count Wright would agree to let her guards bring three hundred elite soldiers to help Claire.
This frightened Claire at that time, and almost thought that Earl Wright also knew that the Hart family in Tilling Town was also wealthy, and almost wanted to refuse.
However, as Earl Wright intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the relationship between Claire and Fred, as well as his concern as a father about Fred's hatred of iron and steel, Claire realized that she was too worried, and she wanted to help her son more.
No, it should be that Earl Wright supports a little reliable force for his unsuccessful son Fred, so as not to be bullied in the future.
Anyone else might think that this was a signal that Earl Wright intended to make Fred his heir, but Claire, who was a two-time person, understood that this meant that Fred had really bid farewell to the position of earl.
The real successor, where he needs his father's forces to support him secretly, must let him support and expand by himself, so that his subordinates will be grateful to him.
The gesture of a father like Earl Wright to show favor to his son has obvious implications, my son is not successful, but for the sake of me being good to you and you and my son, what can I do to help.
If it weren't for the fact that the original owner and Fred were basically equivalent to the bound identity, Claire would definitely choose to hug the thighs of Earl Wright's other two sons at this time.
It's not that Claire is more interested in the battle for the earl's heir, but it's a good shade with her back to the tree. Didn't the prime minister of a good wife on the Blue Star finally become the martial emperor with this hand.
It's a pity that Fred is really, alas... Everything is on your own. However, with the help of 300 more soldiers, it can be regarded as a good gain.
