Unspeakable bubbles

"Let's go, hopefully we'll meet some more hospitable people who will welcome us."

At the girl's command, the carriage slowly drove out of the Earl's territory.

.......................................................................

Charlie carefully read through the letters in his hand; they were all about the little girl.

Everything she encountered and the things she did along the way, down to every single word she uttered, is recorded here.

Charlie read it over and over again, and unconsciously, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Charlie dared not underestimate this formidable little girl in the slightest.

This time, he went to great lengths, sending out the Golden Mask and having the Sixth and Seventh Agencies work together, expending a great deal of manpower and resources, before he finally obtained this detailed intelligence.

Charlie was helpless; he simply knew far too little about Bubble Yog.

If he didn't take this opportunity to learn more, he would have no idea how to deal with Count Yog, the 'reincarnation of an evil god'.

To Charlie's surprise, or rather, to his utter astonishment, Countess Yog was actually a very approachable noblewoman.

She treated even the butlers and maids with kindness.

Moreover, Count Yog was very magnanimous.

Charlie read through the conversation between Golden Mask and Bubble in the carriage again, and his heart pounded in his chest.

Approachable and magnanimous, these qualities are common in most people.

But if it were the leader of the Southern Alliance...

For some reason, four words popped into Charlie's mind—the demeanor of a king!

"tsk"

Charlie felt a severe stomachache, which had only recently begun, or more precisely, on the very first day he received these letters.

"..."

His Majesty the King remained expressionless as he opened another top-secret document that had just been delivered to him.

The above records the subsequent reactions of all the lords who had indirect contact with the little girl.

Before long, Charlie crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball.

The person sent to entertain Bubble was either a trusted housekeeper or simply one's own daughter.

Their opinions of the little girl will greatly influence the lords.

So, how do these people actually perceive bubbles?

Section 605, Chapter 604: Worries

The noble lady was alright; she only had a good impression of Count Yog.

As for the butlers...

In the rigidly hierarchical country of Sain, where had they ever encountered a nobleman who truly 'respected' them?

Even out of respect for their masters, the nobles were only superficially polite.

Moreover, given Earl Yog's status, he has no need to consider the face of their master at all.

These butlers, who were able to gain the trust of their masters, were no ordinary people; calling them shrewd and capable wouldn't be an exaggeration.

They could naturally tell whether others were being insincere or sincere, which is why the stewards were so deeply shocked.

Despite their vastly different social standing, Count Yog treated them with great kindness.

It wasn't because of the master standing behind them, but because of the butlers' own efforts (warmly welcoming Bubble and his party) that the Earl treated them so kindly!

Many housekeepers experienced true 'respect' for the first time, and many secretly cried after returning home.

There was no 'overbearing aura' about her; it was simply the girl's sincerity that deeply moved them.

This kind of 'sincerity' was especially terrifying to Charlie!

Before even meeting his opponent, Charlie felt an overwhelming sense of terror.

He couldn't help but think—

'My health is deteriorating day by day. If I really collapse one day, will Isabel be able to handle it?'

'My daughter, can she intimidate the increasingly restless South, and even subdue that earl?'

.................................................. ..............................

"Father!"

Charlie was deep in thought when Isabella barged in without knocking.

"Why hasn't Sister Jin come back yet? Is that nouveau riche really that important...?"

"Father, King, are you dealing with something important?"

It was the first time Isabel had seen her father's face so terrifying, and she took a step back in fear.

"I, I'll go back right away."

"Wait a moment!"

Charlie softened his expression and waved to Isabel with a smile: "It's nothing too important. Father was just in a bad mood."

"So that's how it is."

Seeing that her father had returned to his original state, Isabel breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death, Father! You have no idea how terrifying your expression was just now!"

"Haha, it's all Father's fault."

Charlie said gently, "My daughter, did you come to me about the gold mask?"

"Yup!"

Isabel complained, "Sister Jin has always been my personal bodyguard, so why was she sent out to escort that nouveau riche this time?"

"upstart......"

Charlie shook his head: "Why do you address Earl Yog as that?"

"They're just nouveau riche, they have no foundation at all. Even if they rise to prominence for a while, they'll fall down one day."

“Isabel, don’t forget, we also came from humble beginnings.”

"Hey!"

The princess was displeased: "That nouveau riche has caused you so much trouble, Father, why are you still speaking up for her?"

"So it's because of me that you're so disgusted with Count Yog."

Charlie laughed and said, "You're wrong. It's thanks to Earl Yog that the turbulent situation in the South has been stabilized."

“I am not annoyed by Count Yog, but grateful.”

So...

"Daughter, never call me a nouveau riche again."

"Remember, you are not allowed to use that title for Count Yog in front of anyone."

"..."

Seeing Charlie's serious expression, Isabel reluctantly nodded.

"My daughter understands and will be more careful in the future."

"Well, Father asked you, if one day you were to visit Plutonium, with the aim of improving relations between the two countries..."

"what!"

Before Charlie could speak, Isabel exclaimed, "Father, you want to send me as an envoy to the Pluton Union?"

"Of course not, I just suddenly wanted to test my daughter."

"Haha, although this is a test, you should answer according to your own heart, understand?"

“Yes,” Isabel nodded obediently.

“You’ll be accompanied by some guards and maids, and of course, Golden Mask will be with you as well.”

"Along the way, many governors have warmly received you. Just when your impression of Pruton Union is starting to improve, you suddenly encounter a governor who ignores you. What would you do then?"

It depends on the situation.

"Why didn't that governor give me a warm welcome? Was it because he had urgent business, or did he want to put me down to increase his political capital?"

Isabel said cautiously, "If he really has something important to do, I won't hold it against him."

“What if it’s the latter?” Charlie asked.

"Then I'll make sure Sister Jin teaches him a lesson he'll never forget!"

"I see."

Charlie neither agreed nor disagreed; he then asked, "Didn't you ever think of just laughing it off?"

"Just laugh it off?" Isabel's eyes widened.

"That won't do!"

"If we simply laugh it off, where is the dignity of the royal family!"

"Hmm, what if it's because you had Golden Mask teach that governor a lesson that caused other governors to develop a dislike for you?"

"What if the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries ultimately falls through?"

"There's nothing we can do about it; the dignity of the royal family comes first."

Isabel shook her head: "It's all his fault for ignoring me first."

"..."

"Father, what was my answer like?"
