Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 226 Why not let Dolisk go?

King Bailong looked at Minister Vance, who was sitting in the corner with his teeth shining fiercely under the light, and sighed in his heart: "Even you know it!"

"I don't know much," Vance replied calmly, "I just know that Dolisk hasn't been doing well recently."

Although due to the king's quick response, Dorisk did not feel that he had done anything detrimental to the White Dragon King, the fact that others tried to take action through him and he really took the bait still made the official who followed His Majesty the King wholeheartedly very sad.

However, he couldn't blame his wife, who was also a victim, for a sin that hadn't happened yet.

Three days after being dragged back by her parents' home, the wife, who had once tried to save the 'ignorant, implicated former sister-in-law', never mentioned this former good friend again.

But, she was obviously crying secretly.

Dolisk could understand his wife's pain.

Even if marrying Dorisk is the best option for a wife after she becomes a widow...it will always be the second best option.

She originally had a happy family and a handsome, gentle and similar-aged husband!
The nobles in the territories may not live as luxuriously as the nobles in the royal capital, but they also don't have so much intrigue!
Besides, as the daughter of an officer in the King's Guard, she was not completely ignorant of all this.

Back then, she had chosen a down-to-earth and satisfactory baron among the luxurious clothes, dazzling jewels and gorgeous banquets... She would only regret it if Baron Lawton treated her badly and could not even provide her with the basic aristocratic life.

However, the Lawton family is actually quite wealthy.

Even though old Lawton left a large amount of his personal property to his step-wife and youngest son, the assets attached to the baronial castle were enough to allow the young couple to live a worry-free life.

If it was just an accident, Mrs. Hinton could only blame fate and lament that she didn't have that luck.

However, when people knew that they could have continued to live like that, but... they were badly betrayed by their husband's own sister, no one could remain rational.

She just cried every day at home, and the fact that she knew she had to go back to the Hinton family was the last bit of rationality she had.

Don't think that this was her hurt to Dorisk...she chose to go back to her parents' home and cry, which meant that she didn't consider herself Mrs. Hinton at all.

You can go back to your parents’ home to celebrate happy events, but never to go back to your parents’ home to celebrate sadness.

This is not for the sake of some hypocritical aristocratic face... Many of the unspoken rules of aristocratic society seem cold and cruel, but they are all summarized and concluded from a series of accidents.

As long as Mrs. Hinton could maintain the outward harmony of the family, her private behavior could no longer be forced.

Moreover, Dolisk could understand her helplessness and pain. After all, he was much more mature than his current wife, so he could naturally be more tolerant.

After she remarried, she would rather continue to interact with her former sister-in-law despite the suspicion of her new husband and the whispers from the outside world. It can be seen from their close relationship that she must have a very good relationship with Baron Rawdon.

After all, I am still young and have little experience, so it is good enough to have achieved this point.

Dolisk could accept this... When he chose this lady, among the many issues he considered, there was absolutely nothing related to emotions.

But he couldn't return to that home filled with sadness.

Of all the worst he had imagined about his family life, it wasn't as bad as it is now.

However, the palace that allowed him to stay forever in the past has now become the place he least wants to go.

Dolisk couldn't go see his king until he had sorted out his emotions.

He never wanted to let the White Dragon King see his depressed and lonely side.

However, Dolisk could not go to the country villa in the suburbs.

How could Dolisk throw away the reputation that His Majesty the King had gone through so much trouble to preserve for him?

Faced with a dilemma, he finally chose to go to his friend's place to "have fun".

And in the royal capital, the only person who could give him a plausible reason was Vance, the Minister of Commerce.

King White Dragon was not a particularly autocratic king. He even only closely monitored the noble offices but did not have complete control over them... The only two departments that had to be controlled by him were the Royal Army and the Ministry of Commerce.

It is conceivable how deep his trust and dependence on Modeste Vance is.

Modeste and Dolisk were also old friends with a deep friendship... It could even be said that they were the kind of friends who were close friends for life and death, standing back to back, shoulder to shoulder, and saving each other many times on the battlefield.

But compared to Dolisque, who prefers a more stable life, Modeste prefers to stand in a high position and compete with different people.

"Your Majesty... Dorisk has stayed with me for a little too long." The Minister of Commerce said seriously, "I can't let him keep disturbing my life like this, can I?

It just so happens that your Chamber of Commerce needs a careful and capable person to take charge of the overall situation, so why not let Dorisk go?" The White Dragon King tilted his head, not understanding what Modeste wanted to do for a moment.

He didn't think Modeste would really think that Dolisk was an unpleasant guest who must be sent away immediately.

They have been like-minded and complementary in character since childhood, and they even became in-laws... Yes, Modeste's eldest daughter-in-law, now the manager of Vance Mansion, is Dorisk's biological daughter.

Compared to Modeste, the father-in-law who is unlikely to have much contact with his daughter-in-law, Dolisk might be the one who lives most comfortably in that beautiful mansion.

However, it seems that there is no need for Dorisk to contact Pat in person.

After all, he was dealing with high-ranking members of a cult, so it was easy to find evidence against him.

Generally speaking, the White Dragon King lets his intelligence officers handle these secret relationships.

But Pat was too powerful. His intelligence network could only predict the area where Pat was located. He had no way of getting any more detailed information.

Otherwise, King White Dragon would not have thought that the cooperation with Lowry was appropriate... at least his men would not have to act like headless flies and alert the enemy everywhere, and finally have to wait for Pat to contact them actively!

However, although he didn't understand what Modeste wanted to do for a moment, the White Dragon King always thought it through: "Don't pretend to be deep there, tell me clearly, you don't want me to make things worse for you because of my half-knowledge, right?"

Minister Vance, who pretended to be deep, gave a helpless smile.

The king's unreservedness can be quite annoying sometimes.

He shook his head and smiled: “There are some things that Lori, as a noble of the territory, will not explain to you too clearly.

Just like this time, using rabbit meat to ask those poor people who may have only eaten meat a few times in their lives to do things for us, what we get in return is more than just the apparent good stuff.

For so many years, the royal family and the government have not been able to extend their hands into the lower class society that is controlled by the church. They can only watch those guys mess around. Isn't it because they can't find a suitable entry point?

No matter how many benefits Pat gives to those poor people, they are probably not as valuable as this rabbit meat!
Your Majesty, if you do this once, you will become a wise ruler in the eyes of the common people!"

King Bai Long was still a little confused: "I can only do this once.

Those rules, I still…"

"What did you do?" Minister Vance asked without hesitation, "Isn't this just the most common Chamber of Commerce employment mission?

No matter how demanding a person is, they can't ask you to ignore your cheap labor.

Unless someone is willing to do it for you for free."

That is impossible. Both the nobles and the church know very well that if they get something for free once, the White Dragon King will make them work for nothing for eternity.

This kind of good thing can only be done for a king who has no say.

Someone like the White Dragon King would definitely make this a routine.

Everybody wants to take advantage, and no one wants to offer themselves up to others for free.

The reason why Secretary Vance has been able to remain in the position of Secretary of Commerce is not just due to the support of His Majesty the King.

No matter how strong the support is, it cannot save someone who is seeking his own death.

Dealing with merchants and checking the accounts of nobles determined Vance's position, and he lived a thrilling life every day.

Why does Dolisk think that there is something fun to watch every day at the Vance family? Isn’t it because he can see all kinds of life?

But Vance was able to ensure that he did not get involved at all and did everything perfectly. It shows how profound his control over people's hearts and human nature is.

Therefore, compared to the White Dragon King who didn't know much about these things, Minister Vance understood better how much prestige this matter could bring to the White Dragon King as long as it was handled well.

Then, Dorisk Hinton, who had done such a great thing for the White Dragon King, would naturally return to the palace with a huge halo and continue to serve as his chief affairs officer.

After hearing Vance's careful explanation, the White Dragon King finally understood how far-reaching the impact of something that benefited the vast majority of the poor could be, and how it could even be passed down decades or even hundreds of years later. He couldn't help but ask his Minister of Commerce, "Are you saying that Lowry knew the effect of this from the beginning?"

"Your Majesty, if he didn't know, he would never be so sure that Pat would appear in that place." Vance asked meaningfully, "But he would never take the initiative to talk about such things to win people's hearts.

Baron Lori Montes must have learned a lot from his own experiences."

"I was saying that it would be great if Lowry was willing to come to the capital." The White Dragon King said with a hint of regret, "Although he is immature in many things, he is really good at some things. It's a pity that this kid has no interest in politics at all."
