Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 127 Dinner Party (Part [-])
Mr. Abner likes her very much. Joseph himself said it against his will. If Abner likes Marceau, it is reasonable, but Joanna...not hating her is already very good.

Earl Singola was naturally not aware of this, and thought in his mind that the cute and lively little maid couldn't put her together with the rigid Abner.

Looking at the scenery of Madrid outside the window, Joseph asked half-jokingly: "So, how is the protagonist of our banquet feeling?"

"Agata? Of course he is very happy, after all Princess Belén is a nice little girl."

Yes, it refers to many aspects, appearance, identity, status, and wealth, and only the first item is unknown, so Earl Singola naturally refers to appearance.

"That's good. If it's too ugly, I have to be careful that Agata will hate me in the future."

When Joseph said these words, naturally he would not have thought of the wry smile in Earl Singella's heart. He was good-looking but just average. How could he not guess what his brother-in-law was thinking?As time passed, her daughter became more and more beautiful, so Princess Beren was just a firefly light in front of her daughter.

Naturally, these words cannot be said to Joseph, and he still counts on Agata to get involved with the Spanish royal family, because only in this way can he obtain more benefits, such as a title...

After all, Earl Singla is a bit remote, and he still left the Principality of Nord voluntarily at the beginning. If not, he would at least be able to get the title of a prince, and of course he would have to add an old name in front of it.

Earl Singla has never had any illusions about the position of the Grand Duke of the Principality of Nord. When there is no rise, there are many powerful countries around him. Once Joseph dies, the most likely thing is a republic instead of letting him be the Grand Duke of Nord.

Now?The same is true now, unless he is a direct bloodline of the Ragnar family, it is difficult for a collateral line like him to obtain the position of grand duke, even if he is now the first in line heir.

While speaking, they were already close to the residence of Count Singra, which was a large estate on the outskirts of Madrid, including nearly 80 acres of land that belonged to Count Singra himself.

"It used to be the territory of a duke, but the family sold it to me at a reserve price of 300 million euros!"

Speaking of this matter, Earl Singella was very proud. 300 million euros was a figure he had never dared to think of before, but now he can take it out at will.

"300 million euros? It will also have some impact on your liquidity!"

300 million euros?This money was nothing to Joseph, but it was different to Earl Singola. He was only worth tens of millions of euros. Although it was easy to spend 300 million, it had a certain impact on his business.

What Joseph said was indeed true, but Earl Singerla didn't say anything. He also understood this, but only in this way can he show the rise of his family. Don't say that it will affect the business, even if it hurts his muscles and bones, he will still insist on buying it.

Earl Singola's silence made Joseph stop talking. He was not Wu Xia Amon back then, and he knew and understood Earl Singola's actions at this time.

Not far from the manor is a small bazaar. The residents living on the 80 acres of land usually buy, sell and trade in the small bazaar. Some of the residents left to live elsewhere.

Seeing what Joseph wanted to ask, Earl Singola replied without waiting for him to open his mouth: "They are all old farmers before the war. They don't understand tractors and other things, and their lives are relatively embarrassing."

Joseph nodded understandingly. They can be regarded as adding some vitality to this place, but no one can say how long this place can last. After all, every country is developing at a high speed. It is very likely that this place is located on the outskirts of Madrid and will be listed in two years. Into the demolition sequence.

Whether or not the manor can be kept depends on the relationship between Singola and the royal family. If King Alfonso is willing to help, then even Earl Singola can make a small profit while keeping the manor.

After arriving at the manor, Joseph saw the Countess, Salma, and a series of servants standing on both sides of the gate. They were all relatives, so there was no need for too many etiquettes when meeting. People walked into the manor in a mighty way.

Splendid and antique, these two words are not contradictory when used together. It can be seen that the Spanish Duke was also a rich and powerful man before the war, otherwise maintaining such a manor would be quite expensive.

In fact, let’s not talk about that time, even if there is no annual cost of hundreds of thousands of euros, it is impossible to maintain it at all. The hundreds of thousands of euros here are naturally not the salaries of servants, but carpets, lamps, roof renovations, etc...

Shaking his head, Joseph felt that Singlar needed to find another way to make money, otherwise relying solely on the Audi European general agent would not be able to maintain his daily life.

For example, a banquet like this would be impossible without 10,000+ euros. Such a large banquet is the most common in the aristocratic circle. It is enough to hold it five or six times a year, which is enough for Earl Singara to overwhelm.

Joseph and Salma have not seen each other for a few years. In the past few years, Salma has become more and more beautiful, with delicate skin, a slender figure, deep blue eyes, and long golden hair that is slightly loose...

"Salma, that's great!"

Some inexplicable words made Salma blush, and she couldn't help giving him a blank look. Joseph said this sentence with a lot of her figure, and the good meaning was obvious.

The two of them got along pretty well that year, and they often had letters and phone calls afterwards, so there was no sense of strangeness. In Salma's eyes, Joseph was not the Grand Duke of Nord, but his own cousin.

"Joseph, why didn't Joanna come with you?"

"Salma, you should call me Uncle Joseph."

"Humph!"

What Salma resented most was this sentence. Every time Joseph said this, Salma ignored him, and the same was true on the phone. As long as Joseph spoke, she would definitely hang up the phone.

But after all, it was a few years since I saw him. When I came to the hall, Salma leaned in front of Joseph again: "Who is that guy? Could it be Joanna's personal servant?"

"Of course it's him, you can call him James!"

Glancing at Joseph, Salma felt sorry for Joanna and said, "I don't want to talk to him, how long are you staying here?"

"Is something wrong?"

"If you stay longer, I can accompany you to Madrid!"

It is naturally good to be accompanied by a beautiful woman, but Joseph cannot agree, because his own safety cannot be guaranteed now, and he cannot run into the crowd of Madrid alone.

With guards?If you bring a group of guards, it doesn't matter whether you play or not, and it is estimated that Salma is not willing, so it is better to refuse.

"There are many people in Western Sahara who want my life. If you are willing to lose an uncle, then we will go to Madrid together."

This obvious refusal and the word "uncle" made Salma very upset, she turned her back and ignored him and went to the side to talk to a little girl who was about the same age as her.

Although the voices of the two were very low, people around could still hear them, so Earl Singola looked over apologetically and invited to apologize for his daughter's unknown situation.

In fact, Joseph knew that even if he did not reject Earl Singella, he would still speak, but his attitude would not be very good if he spoke so obviously, and Joseph could be regarded as saving Salma from a reprimand.
