The damage of war has always been huge. Although the sudden battle at the dinner was only a small fight compared to the war, it was enough to turn this luxurious dinner hall into a shabby ruins. The subsequent treatment is often more complicated than the battle.
Spend energy.
But this had nothing to do with Geer. Under the escort of soldiers, he took Sophia directly back to the hotel where he was staying.
"My lord, Sophia, you are finally back."
As soon as they entered the pavilion, Mrs. Taliyah came up to her in a panic. The sudden appearance of the soldiers outside frightened her and made her restless for a while. So did the other ladies. Now they can be considered to have left home.
, the whole family relies on Ger for everything. Once something happens to Ger, they will not be much better off than the remaining members of the Gallo family.
"It's okay, go to bed early and set off as usual tomorrow."
After letting Mrs. Talia and the others go to rest, Geer called Little Miller and Bert, told them to pay attention to some things, and then went back to the room to rest.
Because of the attack on the Moon Bay Hotel, the entire city of Mora is now on edge. There are patrolling soldiers everywhere, and there are specially arranged troops stationed here in Geer, so safety can be guaranteed.
A night of silence.
The next morning, when Geer started his next journey as planned, he learned the news that Prince Philip would temporarily stay in Mora on behalf of the royal family because he had to deal with the aftermath of the city of Mora.
I can't go back to San Lotaro with Ger.
However, Prince Philip came to the train station to say goodbye to Geer, which also showed the outside world that the royal family attaches great importance to and cares about Geer.
"I believe we will meet again in San Rotalo soon. When the time comes, my old man will come to you for tea, so don't bother me and avoid me." Prince Philip smiled, and his whole body was full of kindness.
"I'm happy to accompany you." Geer smiled and nodded.
After saying goodbye, Geer got on the train.
Woo~~
Sitting by the window of the box, watching the Mora City Railway Station begin to retreat, and gradually unable to see the scene there anymore, Geer breathed out softly: "Nobles will only be nobles, regardless of the royal family or the prince."
They are just part of the nobility."
…
More than ten people were sitting around a conference table.
This is a bright room. The walls made entirely of glass allow this room to enjoy the gift of sunlight without hindrance without being punished by the cold wind.
The wall is surrounded by a circle of green plants, making the room even more vibrant.
But at this time, the atmosphere in the room was not as bright as the sunshine above.
"Frodo, we need your explanation." The old man sitting at the head of the table reprimanded sternly. His face was as cold as the snow-covered Mount Taimura, and his tone was as if he was standing above the peak of Taimura.
The blowing north wind: "Because of you, all our power in Jobna County has been wiped out, and the impact on the entire north is even more difficult to make up for. This is all because of your willful behavior. If you
If there is no reasonable explanation, then I will initiate a vote of no confidence in you. We do not need an incompetent and self-aware person in our team to participate in our sacred cause."
Following the old man's words, other participants at the table all turned their attention to the end of the table, where there was a slightly fat middle-aged man. His originally delicate hairstyle was a little messy, especially the hair on his forehead.
, under the continuous watering of sweat, it turned into strands, like hanging several small fruits.
"I'm sorry, Lord Speaker." Although Frodo looked embarrassed, his voice was still stable and clear: "This time, the royal family took the lead in breaking the tacit understanding between us, and even used force to remove us from Job's home.
The Garro family, the county's biggest supporter, was wiped out in one fell swoop. I felt that this was a great provocation to us and we must fight back harshly. However, I misjudged Philip's cunning. This is my fault and I am willing to take responsibility."
Frodo's righteous words failed to thaw the Chancellor's expression.
The Speaker clapped his hands, and a waiter came in and placed a document next to Frodo.
"This is a detailed record of this operation organized by you. The person in charge is your uncle, and the participants include your three brothers. None of these people were able to leave the Moon Bay Hotel. In addition, before the incident, because of the
You acted disobediently, and you executed another uncle. Now there is no one in the entire Deen family who can affect your status. I have to express my approval for this move." The speaker's voice was very calm, but Frodo listened.
However, I felt a faint chill in my ears, and cold beads of sweat broke out on my already pale face. At this time, the Speaker's voice turned higher in vain, and turned into questions again in his eyes.
"But you should not use the interests of our entire organization as a bargaining chip for your promotion, especially this kind of behavior that comes at the expense of the organization's strength. Strictly speaking, you are betraying our common cause, and you are not worthy of taking over.
Your father’s position is not worthy of being our comrade!”
"No, Mr. Speaker, please listen to my explanation. I may have selfish motives, but I really hope that this operation can succeed. The gold mine of Winterset Castle is really too important, and the loss of Earl Carter is unbearable for us.
Yes, now our entire northern deployment is facing infiltration from the royal family. We must organize a strong counterattack to show our attitude, otherwise they will only become more unscrupulous..."
Frodo replied like this. However, he himself could not hear the force in his voice that made his argument reasonable.
Others present exchanged gloomy glances, and finally the Speaker spoke: "Frodo, can we trust you again?"
The speaker's question stirred Frodo, and he immediately replied in a hoarse voice: "Please believe me, if I betray my comrades and the common cause, I am willing to be burned by fire, have my head bitten by insects, and be cursed."
Bone marrow, please believe me!"
"...Okay." The speaker and everyone present nodded: "One year, you have one year to restart the deployment of Jobna County, and then we will see your actual results. Remember, we and the royal family
The battle between the two countries never happens overnight. It will take several years, ten years, or even hundreds of years. This time will be very long. Your radicalization will only bring unnecessary losses to us. We need a long-term plan. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Very good, go down."
After Frodo staggered out of the conference room, the room was silent for a while, and then one of the people present said, "Is this enough?"
"That's enough. A timely blow to Frodo can cool down the minds of those radicals who follow Frodo's nonsense. That's enough."
…
It was midsummer when Ger returned to San Lotaro.
Originally, the summer in San Rotalo was not very gentle. In addition, the establishment of many coal and iron companies in the past decade has made the summer in the capital even more difficult. If you walk on the street for a long time, black streams will begin to flow on your body.
It's sticky, prickly, and uncomfortable. Generally, no one goes out for activities in the afternoon. Only when the sea breeze from the west arrives in the evening, there will be more people on the street.
Geer arrived in the afternoon. When he originally thought he needed to find a hotel to stay overnight, he was a little surprised to see Prince Fayelino on the noble platform.
"Welcome back, Ger. I have to say you did a great job in Jobna County. On behalf of the royal family, I must express my sincere gratitude to you."
As soon as they met, Fayelino gave Ger a hug as warm as the sun above his head.
"You're very flattering, Your Highness." The prince's enthusiasm made Geer feel a little uncomfortable, especially when such a person with at least a knight rank was so close to him, it was a bit difficult to suppress the body's instinctive counterattack.
"No, you deserve this thank you. Let's go and see your new home."
Fayelino glanced back, and a group of attendants he brought with him began to carry the luggage for Geer. The corresponding carriage outside the train station was also ready, and Geer asked Sophia to take the others to other carriages.
, he himself was invited to board Fayelino's silver carriage.
"To be honest, I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to do so well. It's incredible. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the situation nearby in the capital. The information passed to me seemed too simple. Can you and me
Can you tell me in detail what's inside?" As soon as he got on the carriage, Fayelino began to ask about a series of events in Winterset Castle, and it seemed that he took it very seriously.
Geer could not refuse, so he selectively told Prince Fayelino everything that had happened. He heard the prince keep nodding and asking for various details. When the carriage arrived at its destination, Fayelino seemed still
The meaning is still not finished.
The destination is a manor located outside the city of San Rotaro. It covers a large area, half hills and half plains, with forests, lakes, orchards, vineyards, and even a quarry that can provide high-quality frost stones.
, is a kind of building stone that the upper class likes to use. The value of this large manor alone is no less than one hundred thousand gold royales.
This is the residence of the Corbenson family, and it is also part of the deal with the royal family.
After a general tour of the manor, Geer signed and stamped the manor transfer document, and the place was officially renamed Colbenson Manor.
After asking Sophia, Little Miller, Bert and others to check the entire situation of the manor, tidy up the residence, and enter management status as soon as possible, Geer and Fayelino came to a conference room in the main building.
"Mr. Baron Griezmann, now I solemnly invite you to join the Brotherhood of Steel and become one of us."
