The Governor's Mansion welcomed a special guest, and the dressed-up woman came to Yang Hui's study under the leadership of Duke Huda Felt.
"Duke Cudafield, what is this?"
"This is Naoto Hongyue's biological mother, Your Highness Yang Hui."
The woman looked at Yang Hui with a somewhat frightened look, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
"Hmm..." Yang Hui thought for a while and said to Regeni Rejeta who was standing beside him: "Take her to the lounge next door, call Naoto over, and ask them, mother and son, to wait for me."
"Yes, your highness."
In fear, Naoto Hongyue's mother left the study under the leadership of Regeni Regetta, leaving only Yang Hui and Duke Xiudafelt.
"Is this considered a certificate of surrender? Duke Xiudafeldt." Yang Hui asked calmly.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Haha." Yang Hui smiled coldly and looked at Duke Xiudafelt with interest.
Duke Xiudafelt was so frightened by Yang Hui's eyes that he broke into a cold sweat. The terrible experiences during the day kept impacting his reason. Yang Hui's meaning was obvious. He had no intention of just letting go of what they had done, and he himself
The certificate of nomination is not enough.
"Your Highness, I can help you convince other nobles and lead them to support you in controlling [ELEVEN]."
"That's not necessary, Mr. Xiuda Felt." Yang Hui stood up, walked up to Mr. Xiuda Felt, and asked him calmly, "Do you know the Six Families of Kyoto?"
"Know...know..."
"The last time you contacted them...it was to get in touch with local officials, right?"
"How do you know..." Duke Xiuda Feilte looked at Yang Hui in shock.
"Have you contacted them since then?"
"No...no, I heard from others that they...they were all dismissed and investigated."
"Did you hear the reason?"
"No……"
"Have you contacted the Kyoto Six?"
"No...no...I helped them contact the mainland once, and then cut off the contact, and then that happened."
"Yeah?"
"Yes, Your Highness, please believe me first. I don't have much to do with them. I only have normal business dealings with the Six Families in Kyoto. You know, although the concession has a high status in [ELEVEN], but
In the past, all business activities were controlled by the six families in Kyoto. If you wanted to successfully take root in [ELEVEN], you had to contact them at that time, so..."
"So you united with a large number of nobles to form a... federation? The six families of Kyoto also have seats in this federation?"
"Yes, Your Highness, but this is just normal business behavior..."
"Then take a look at this, and then talk about it after reading it." As soon as Yang Hui finished speaking, he threw a document to Duke Xiudafelter.
Duke Cudafield quickly caught the document and began to read it.
"This!" Duke Xiudafelt couldn't believe his eyes and looked at Yang Hui in disbelief, "Your Highness! This... is this true?"
"The secret vaults of the six families in Kyoto were searched. The detailed information about those individuals was handed over not long ago and is freshly released."
"But...how dare they!? This is treason!"
"So, Duke Xiudafelt, you should be careful when making friends." Yang Hui patted his shoulder with sincerity and said to him.
"Your Highness! This is just their personal behavior. I don't know anything about it, Your Highness!" Duke Xiudafelt no longer wants to think about the relationship between himself and Yang Hui. He just wants to distance himself from certain people.
Relationship.
The information recorded in the document, and the things those people have done, any one of them is enough to meet the standards of treason. If he is implicated, even one of the eight famous families will only be destroyed. Bunitaglia
There is zero tolerance for treason!
"I know." Yang Hui walked aside, poured himself a cup of black tea, and took a sip. "If you know about it, your name will also appear in the document in your hand."
"Many...thank you, Your Highness."
"So...you know what to do, right?"
"Your Highness means..."
"Lakshata and Lloyd have been applying for research funding from me all day long, and they have spent it all, but I am also in a dilemma. My personal assets have been spent by them long ago. A mouse would cry when they see it.
Not only me, but the imperial sister and Clovis also have little money, so..."
"I understand, Your Highness, I will offer you..."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, Duke Xiudafield." Yang Hui shook his head and interrupted Duke Xiudafield, "Leave professional matters to professionals. You are Bunita."
As one of the eight famous families in Leah, you must not ruin your own reputation, otherwise the reputation of the empire will also be damaged."
"This..." Duke Xiudafelt thought about it and realized what he should do. "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I know what to do."
"Well, good, sit down." After hearing this, Yang Hui nodded with satisfaction, sat on the sofa where he was resting, and pointed to the empty sofa next to him.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
…
In the lounge next door, the woman was restless and full of anxiety. Duke Cudafield dressed her up very beautifully, but then took her to the Governor's Mansion and handed her over to Yang Hui, which made her think of something bad.
At the same time, because the Duke told her that his son was working under Yang Hui, he began to worry about his son again.
That was her belief in survival. Her son was working under the legendary [Nightmare], so why was he chosen by Yang Hui? How was his life? Was he ever bullied?
These questions were lingering in her mind.
until……
"Dong dong~"
"Please come in."
"Lord Regeta, you called me here so late...Mom! Why are you here!?" Naoto Bengyue, who pushed the door open and saw his mother, was stunned. Moreover, she was still dressed up.
She is so beautiful, and the dress and jewelry she wears are more than their family can afford in their lifetime.
"Naoto! Are you okay?" She hadn't seen Naoto Hongyue for a few days. Although Naoto Hongyue kept telling her on the phone that he was at work and might not go home for a short time, she was still worried.
"I'm fine, Mom." Naoto Hongyue shook his head. After joining the [Nightmare] Knights, he was sent to the rookie camp to train with the newcomers of the Knights. At first, some people did look down on him, but it was not because of him.
ELEVEN's identity is because he looks a little thin. In training again and again, Naoto Benizue has proved himself with his actions, and has also been recognized and respected by others.
"That's good, that's good..."
"But mom, why are you here?" Naoto Hongyue asked anxiously.
"I...I don't know either." The woman lowered her head. She didn't know whether her guess was correct. Moreover, she saw that Naoto Hongyue was wearing very clean clothes and was stronger and more energetic than before. She felt that
My guess may not be correct, so I didn't say it out loud.
"Lord Reggie, what's going on?" Naoto Hongyue couldn't get the answer from his mother, so he turned to ask Regeni Regeta.
"Don't be impatient." Regeni Rejetta reassured Naoto Hongyue with a standard smile, "You two wait here, His Highness will be here later. If you have any questions, you can ask His Highness directly."
"Oh, okay, I understand."
Time passed by minute by second, and the three of them waited with different moods. Not long after, Yang Hui pushed the door open and entered.
"Your Highness." Regeni Regeta and Naoto Hongyue saluted Yang Hui. The woman was a little panicked and followed Naoto Hongyue's example, but...
"Pfft~ Madam, you don't need to be so nervous." Yang Hui couldn't help but smile, easing the woman's nervousness, "Naoto is doing the knighthood, and you are not my knight, so you don't need to do the knighthood."
"Ah? Yes...I'm sorry, Your Highness, I...I..."
"I told you, don't be so nervous, madam." Yang Hui looked at the helpless woman and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Yes...yes, Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, what's going on with you? Why is mother here? And..."
"You are my reserve knight, so your family's treatment will naturally be improved." Yang Hui sat across from them leisurely and explained to them, "Originally, I planned to pick up Madam in person in a few days, but I didn't expect that Xiuda
Duke Fürth will send his wife here tonight."
"That's it." The red man Naoto suddenly understood. He had heard it more than once during training. Yang Hui was very protective of his own shortcomings. He was very kind to his own people, even his subordinates who didn't remember their names. The treatment of the [Nightmare] Knights was absolutely
It is the best among all existing knights, even the Knights of the Round Table cannot compare.
"Well, so madam, you don't need to be nervous."
"Thank you... thank you, Your Highness."
"Well, Naoto is my trainee knight, and he is growing very fast. It is estimated that he will be promoted to a full knight soon. As Naoto's mother, naturally you can't continue to be a maid in the Siudafeldt family. I will help you
We have prepared a new house where you can live in the future, and the knight’s family members will also enjoy favorable treatment, so they don’t have to worry about life anymore.”
"Your Highness... Your Highness... but... but I... I still hope to continue working at the Xiudafield family..." the woman said in a panic, but there was an unshakable determination in her panic.
"Mother! Why!?" Naoto Benizue didn't understand. His previous job was just for the family's livelihood. Now he no longer has to worry about life, why do he still insist on working in a noble family?
"this……"
"...It seems you haven't told Naoto yet." Seeing this, Yang Hui sighed. Hongyue Naoto probably doesn't know that he has a half-sister.
"Yes...yes." The woman lowered her head and returned, her voice was very low, and she did not dare to look at Hongyue Naoto.
"Mom? What are you hiding from me?" Hongyue Naoto asked.
"this……"
"Madam, I personally believe that Naoto has the right to know."
"..." The woman struggled for a while, and finally plucked up the courage and said to Naoto Hongyue, "Naoto, you have a sister, her name is Kallen, Kallen Schudafeldt."
