Almost forgot, Viscount Garton has become Earl Garton.
"Hi. Boss. Big sister, Miss Nina, little sister Suxi, General. I'm back."
This guy......hasn't seen him for a few days and he's getting fat again.It's going to be Michelin.
...........
There are many advantages to being an aristocrat.
Some nobles will be allocated land, and some will receive funds from the state on a regular basis.Specific rewards will vary slightly depending on your status and position.
However, the biggest benefit is the improvement of social status.
Obtaining the status of aristocrat is like Cook's previous life as a member of the Eight Banners during the Qing Dynasty. He will get many conveniences in life that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
You can buy and sell slaves, you are qualified to step into the circle of nobles that ordinary people cannot step into, and you have the opportunity to meet the big shots at the top...
For ordinary people, becoming an aristocrat opens the first door to prosperity and wealth in life.
Everyone seemed very excited because they got the status of nobles.
We got together and discussed excitedly.Everyone's words were full of expectations for the future with noble status.Just listening to it will make you excited.
The scene of many people gathering together to express their excitement reminded Cook of the scene of the class reunion after the college entrance examination in his previous life, and he felt a lot of inexplicable emotion.
When everyone was discussing excitedly, Nina suddenly realized and interrupted everyone's discussion.
Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Nina curiously.
"I was so excited to get the reward, I didn't notice it at all. I felt something strange just now. Thinking about it this way..."
In the middle of speaking, Nina suddenly turned to Cook.
Being stared at seriously by the catwoman blinking, Cook also became nervous.
Pointing at the tip of his pen, he asked puzzledly.
"I?"
Nina nodded, and then told what she called strange.
"Everyone has become a nobleman. What about Cook? Cook only gets money? Why hasn't Cook been granted noble status?"
Nina's words were like throwing a stone into the calm water, causing huge ripples immediately.
People no longer discuss the future aristocratic life, but ask questions with a more violent momentum.
"Yeah. I didn't notice it at all. Where's Cook? Why did you forget Cook?"
"Yes, yes. Everyone has become aristocrats. Isn't it only Cook? This is not appropriate."
"Cook is the one who should be the nobleman. Cook has made the most contribution. Don't we have the qualifications, but Cook doesn't?"
"Yes. There are only gold coins rewards, which is too unreasonable."
"It's not fair. I'm going to fight for Cook."
The originally harmonious discussion scene instantly became hot.Everyone stared and raised their voices to defend Cook.
Seeing that everyone was about to turn over the table and go to the mayor to argue, Cook hurriedly jumped up to stop everyone.
"Thank you for worrying about me. No, you don't need to go to anyone to argue for me. I was not interested in being a nobleman or being an official. If I don't become a nobleman, I don't have to be involved in politics and power struggles, which is better. I I can write a book with peace of mind. Moreover, I have already got the reward."
Cook said, turning his head to look at Lilith who was walking into the living room.
Lilith and Shaxi came in with tea and hot water to entertain the guests.It has only been one day since I opened the box, but I have already integrated into my life and started to help with various daily affairs very kindly.She can also do things like pour tea for guests and help with cleaning, and she doesn't have the airs of a princess at all.It really makes Cook like it more and more.
Such Lilith and Suxi are using the money earned from 'selling buttocks' to buy various things to enrich the Night Butterfly, which was once empty due to lack of funds.
Chapter 377 : Uncle Duke, the Earl
Noticing that Cook was looking at her, Lilith also looked at Cook, and responded to Cook with a friendly smile.
After putting down the tea, Lilith came over and held Cook's wrist, and the red-haired princess smiled like a little devil.
"I can understand everyone's doubts. Also, Cook. Parents and mothers have told you that there are two types of rewards for you. One is the reward given by the virtuous king and queen to thank you for saving the country, and the other is the reward given by your mother and mother. Father’s gratitude to you for saving their daughter. As for me, it’s the latter kind. Don’t confuse it. Another reward, father and mother will never forget.”
Cook also looked at the little devil princess, then nodded.
"Is that so. What does Lilith mean?"
Lilith nodded, then turned to everyone.
"Everyone, don't worry. The virtuous king and queen have already decided to give Cook a noble title. At least he is a viscount. As for why it has not been conveyed for a long time. It must be delayed by some unexpected incident. Please rest assured, virtuous king and queen Won't forget about it. If I do, I'll go to them and argue. I'll make fun of it, and make them take what's due to Cook, even if it's not for the sake of my family. Trust me .”
Lilith said seriously, not like she was joking at all.
From her body, it seems to see the figure of the trumpet queen, which inexplicably makes people feel awe.
Lilith calmed down the noisy venue with just a few words.Instead of shouting angrily, people raised their fists to celebrate Cook in advance.
The change in the atmosphere of the venue made Cook feel again that Lilith was worthy of being a princess.
Being able to get Lilith is really getting the best baby.
Cook looked at Lilith with passionate eyes, and Lilith shook her head and stuck out her tongue at Cook coquettishly.
"Lilith, although I am very happy that you helped me speak. But it goes without saying that you will turn against the Queen Xian and the others. Wait, is what you said true? Are you really going to argue with the Queen Xian for me?"
Lilith put more strength on Cook's arm.I could feel something called determination coming from my soft body.
"Of course. I'm Cook's man now. The married woman poured out water. Of course I have to help Cook speak. Even as a parent, I have to make a theory."
It's really touching.Cook sniffed, feeling like he was going to cry.
Princess is so nice.However, it is also necessary to have a good relationship with the natal family.Cook didn't want Lilith to argue.If that happens, Cook will definitely stop it.
It doesn't matter if he is called a coward. Anyway, Cook doesn't care much about his noble status.At the very least, it's not worth it to cause Lilith and the Queen to quarrel and fall out over something like this.Not worth it.
He was still thinking about how to reward Lilith, but unfortunately his wallet was divided by Lilith and the others.Why don't you buy something good for Lilith.
The eccentric princess looked at Cook.The big eyeballs rolled around and immediately understood Cook's thoughts.
"Nah. Cook. I'm so obsessed with you. Don't you give me a reward?"
"Yes. Whatever Lilith wants. I'll borrow money and buy it for you."
"I don't want those. I want..."
Lilith looked at Cook affectionately, then put her mouth close to Cook's ear.
"I want you to play dog games with others. I have endured it for a long time, and I can't bear it anymore. Wang."
The coquettish princess rubbing her sexy lips against Cook's stomach with her small head...It really is the princess Cook knew.
Cook's touch didn't last more than 10 seconds before it was replaced by chicken movement.
Does anyone want such a princess?Pack it up and give it away.
..............
Lilith was right.
Afterwards, as a follow-up to the alliance between Alcoron and Dalabangba, the rewards for meritorious personnel were spread throughout the noble circle of Alcoron in the form of announcements.
In addition to talking about the active (false) of Hall and the Dahal army, the rewards for Cook, Nina, Sylph, Suxi, Xiaomei and others were also mentioned 'incidentally'.
Because it's just incidental, it doesn't attract a lot of attention if it is regarded as an auxiliary person.This also developed as discussed by Xian Wang and Cook.
Among them, as Lilith said, it mentioned that Cook was granted noble status.
Cook was made an earl and rewarded with a large piece of land.
During the National Salvation War, Cook appeared as an envoy.But in the eyes of everyone, it was Hall who made the contribution.
Plus Cook was a kid in the first place.In the common sense of ordinary people, no matter how strong a child is, they cannot fail to do things that involve the core.
That's why everyone thinks that King Xian deliberately chose children as envoys in the opposite direction, just to create momentum, create topics, and attract people's attention.
It is part of the battle to confuse the Dalabang people's attention.To put it simply, Cook is the cannon fodder played by the wise king in order to hide the real killer (Hall).
Such a role should not be an important figure in saving the country and will not make important contributions.Although it is natural to be rewarded, it should never be given too much reward.
But now Cook not only got the earl status second only to Hall, but also got the land.
This makes many people unable to understand and accept it.
But then came the news that Lilith, the third princess of Alcoron, was by Cook's side.
With the combination of the two news, more voices of suspicion also came out.
"I know... Alone in the enemy country, the princess has always been afraid. At this time, the princess is easy to attack. During the national salvation war, because the age is the same, there are topics. Take this as an opportunity to show a little bit to the princess. Caring for him will make the princess fall in love with him. So...after returning home, Princess Lilith asked to play with Cook."
"After all, the princess has contributed to the country. After returning home, even if you make a willful request, the virtuous king and queen will agree."
"That's great. It's all the princess's wishful thinking. This is not the groom-to-be. This Cook is very lucky. He suddenly changed from an unknown kid to the princess' sweetheart. I'm so envious."
"That is. Otherwise, how do you think an unknown little kid can rise to the top so quickly. This is the line of the royal family, and the future is bright."
"You mean to say that the reward was given by the country as an excuse to give him a status worthy of a princess."
"What else could it be? Right now, he's still a brat. But as long as there are no accidents, the princess is his. If you want to marry the princess, it's impossible for the position of the count to be below. I don't know if I work hard. Years. You may not be able to reach that position even if you die.”
Chapter 378: Land, a man’s dream
"Is this all specially arranged? It's amazing."
"Who makes him lucky? The princess likes him. I'm still envious."
Everyone inexplicably misunderstood Cook.Misunderstood that Cook was rewarded by the princess's glory.
Cook's reward, which does not commensurate with merit, somehow has a 'reasonable' explanation.
However, it is hard for Cook to say that the queen gave this reward for her contribution in the war of national salvation.Or for the future of the princess, so that I have the status of a worthy princess, I gave myself this reward purposefully.
Or both.
The virtuous king and queen can do anything.
The fact that the princess followed Cook aroused the jealousy of many nobles.In particular, some nobles who covet the princess and want to gain power through marriage are even more envious and crazy.
However, this little commotion did not last long.
Everyone's envy of Cook was quickly relegated to the corner of memory.
After all, Hall is the main character in the propaganda of King Xian.No one will always focus on a supporting role.
Furthermore, the Hyun King and Queen have just completed a management overhaul.
Now, the whole country is united.No one wants to do something that spoils the atmosphere at this juncture.
The princess followed Cook, and Cook got the title and land, and soon it was no longer a topic.
Cook got a large piece of land, that is to say, Cook... became a lord.
..................
When Hall heard that the reward for him was not only the title of earl but also the land, Cook jumped up excitedly.
As much power comes with as much responsibility, and when you stand in a high position, you need to worry about more things, so you don't have time and energy to spend on writing novels and doing what you really want to do.
Moreover, Cook hates intrigues in the political circle, and always deliberately keeps a distance from being involved.
Although in the end he still couldn't resist "fate" and got stuck in it, after accepting the great gift of "princess" from the queen, he couldn't get rid of the relationship with the core figures in the political circle.But Cook still hopes to hide and hide.At least reduce some excuses (titles) for being caught doing things you don't like.
How deep the water in the political circle is, Cook has already experienced it all.
Suddenly thinking of the faces of the Lion King, the Wise King, and the Queen with black lights on them made Cook shiver uncontrollably.
These powerful monsters may have adapted to the choppy sea conditions in the political circle, and they can swim in it like a fish in water, but the weak Cook also jumped in, and the possibility of being drowned is very high.
Assassination, being resented, etc... will make you even more disrespectful and insensitive.
In short, whether it's responsibility or danger and trouble, these run counter to Cook's philosophy of sitting on a mountain of gold coins, hugging left and right, and living an easy life.
So...Although Cook always wants to stand out, he has never been so interested in such things as titles.At least, I have no interest in doing business or writing novels.
But the land is different.
Cook, but he really wants the land.
The love for the land comes from a reincarnated instinct.Or...it's not wrong to say that it's a characteristic common to most reincarnations.
