Chapter 139 Engagement
PS: Thanks to the Law Enforcement Court, Warhammer: Total War, and jiyhfw for their rewards.

"Marquis Kate, maybe we should go to a relatively secluded place to chat, such as a cafe, a small restaurant or the like."

Dancing gracefully, the handsome earl offered his suggestion with a smile. Kate, who was not disgusted and even prepared to include the other party in her investigation target, would naturally not refuse.

"If you don't have evil intentions, then I believe I will agree to your request."

The smiling Kate is unparalleled in charm. At least the handsome earl opposite has a little turmoil in his heart. There are many beautiful women, but it is rare to meet such a beautiful woman with an orchid temperament.

Having said that, leaving without a reason is a kind of disrespect to the master, so they choose to come to a secluded corner, and they need such an environment from unfamiliarity to acquaintance.

Shaking the bright red liquid in the wine glass, Kate who was sitting opposite the handsome earl asked casually, "You said you have Scottish blood?"

"Yes, my grandmother is the sister of Viscount Finger, Viscount Finger of southern Scotland."

"Viscount Finger? My family also has some kinship with the Finger family, but it's been a long time ago, and we don't have much contact now."

The handsome earl's words caused Kate to exclaim a little. Perhaps because of this inexplicable relationship, the two talked more casually, but they didn't see a few pairs of eyes not far away that had been watching here.

"It seems that our Grand Duke Joseph will encounter some trouble."

The person who said this with a smile was Joseph's half friend, Aldrich of England's Hollis family, and next to him was his brother-in-law Adonis, if Aldrich and the second daughter of Earl Philip were married.

"It's just a normal relationship. I believe that if she is really listed as a candidate for the princess, then there are already intelligence personnel from the Principality of Nord here."

Adonis is always so indifferent, but indifference does not represent the command of Adonis, often people with indifferent personality are quite calm about things and handle things more safely.

"That's right, it seems that we don't need to intervene. I believe in the integrity of noble ladies. This is not the United States."

"But this is the new century."

Aldrich's smile was suppressed by Aldrich's cold words, and finally he shrugged helplessly to admit defeat, but he still looked at the direction of Kate and the handsome earl with great interest.

British female nobles before the new century were quite conservative. In fact, not only female nobles but also ordinary ladies were the same. Sexual behavior before marriage was quite shameful and not allowed.

The staff of Nord's internal affairs department did not act mainly because they did not want to expose themselves, and secondly because of the new appointment of the British nobleman, even if Kate had a good impression of the handsome earl, at least there was nothing to worry about before the engagement.

Also watching here is Kate's uncle, Baron Abbott. His voice in the family has gradually decreased in recent days. He admitted that he really underestimated this decisive niece.

The Audi agency is Kate's first target. When Abner is busy with other things, Kate has quietly obtained the support of some professional managers. In addition to Joseph, it is only a matter of time before Kate takes control of the Audi agency in England.

A few months ago, Kate was not as attractive as she is now. This has nothing to do with her temperament or appearance. What really attracted Kate was her wealth of hundreds or tens of millions of pounds.

With the advent of the new century, the lives of British nobles are becoming more and more difficult to maintain. There are almost no British nobles who maintain the old tradition, because it means that they waste tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds in unnecessary expenses every year.

The aristocrats have adapted for a period of time from shareholding to personally participating in the operation, and they have paid a considerable price during this period of time. 80.00% of the aristocrats have fallen through such adaptation. The families of Kate, Liverpool, and Linton belong to The luckier part.

"Maybe this is a good sign." Baron Abt couldn't help but think of such a sentence.

Abbott naturally didn't like the earl who valued their family's wealth so much, but compared to Kate becoming Princess Nord, it was more in his interest. It would be best if the earl was more stupid.

Joseph, who was far away from Nord, couldn't understand all kinds of thoughts at the banquet. Looking at the pile of bills in front of him, Joseph couldn't help but feel a little headache.

"I think you can take care of these things, Steward Abner, I trust you."

Rubbing his brain in secret, Joseph calmed Abner very righteously. Unfortunately, his behavior did not make Abner feel grateful. How could Abner, who almost watched Joseph grow up, not know his thoughts?
"Your Majesty, thank you for your trust, but these bills..."

"Xiqi, the beach is suitable for blowing today, I'll take you out to play."

After saying these words, Joseph pretended not to see Abner, and trotted out of the room. Xi Qi didn't know about the master and the housekeeper, and happily followed behind.

Butler Abner hadn't reacted yet, he couldn't help but be dazed when he looked at the gloomy sky outside, but he immediately understood that this was Joseph's evasion.

"Mr. Manstein, how is your recent college life?"

Naturally, Joseph would not really go out for a walk on the beach on a cloudy day. He brought Sitch, who looked a little sluggish, to Manstein's room, and watched Fritz Erich von Manstein, who was reading a book. greet you.

Putting down the book and seeing the visitor, Manstein couldn't help but tease: "Your Majesty, you rarely come to my place recently."

What Manstein said made Joseph a little embarrassed, but it was the truth after all, so he could only try to find excuses for his behavior: "There are many things in Western Sahara, which delays my studies."

The water in these words is too obvious, but Manstein didn't mean to reveal it. It doesn't matter to tease Joseph a little, but after all, he is the Grand Duke of Nord, so Joseph can't step down.

"Your Majesty is 14 years old?"

The year 1986 has arrived, and Joseph has also gained another year under such circumstances. Manstein is indeed a bit old, and these things are beginning to be unclear.

"Could it be that 14 years old has some special meaning!"

This is a story that Manstein once told. Many Mongolian troops rode horses and came to the battlefield to fight when they were [-] or [-]. When they were adults, these had been transformed into the most elite cavalry, which was extremely terrifying and cruel.

Manstein obviously remembered the story he had told, but this time he shook his head: "There is no special meaning, but your Majesty, you should be engaged."

got engaged……

Joseph never thought that such words would come from Manstein's mouth, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully. After all, he wanted to be equal to his retainers, and these were within his duties.
