Mark was confused. He wanted to stay but not leave. Archduke Constantine, a Muggle, had a lawsuit and didn't know how to adapt. Archduke Joseph was completely confused. He had no experience and wanted to stay.
I don't know how to keep people, so I can only stand there stupidly.
If there were no other factors, this scene would definitely turn into a funny show, a complete lose-lose situation. Fortunately, besides these three funny characters, there was also an old butler.
The old man has actually been watching it for a long time, and he is speechless about His Highness's sexy actions. But he can't interrupt casually, but now that things are about to get dirty, it will be too late if he doesn't say anything.
"Your Highness, please be patient." The old butler first stepped forward to calm the Archduke Constantine, who was about to get angry. Then he turned to the confused Major Joseph and said, "Major, why don't you quickly carry out His Highness's order?
The third part, lest some people think we are scaring him!"
Before he finished speaking, he said to Mark again: "As for you, do you think that with the support of Prince Menshikov, you can be lawless! If His Highness urges you to re-investigate this case in front of His Majesty, who do you think Your Majesty will listen to?
It’s time to see if Prince Menshikov will protect you like he did this time!”
"If you were smarter, you would quickly abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, and help my Highness deal with the cancer of Prince Menshikov. When the time comes, my Highness might reward you for your merits and give you another one for the sake of your repentance and bringing things back to order.
An opportunity to serve the country! Otherwise, there is really only a dead end!"
As he said that, the old butler made a gesture of invitation: "You'd better think carefully. Where to go depends on your thoughts. Please!"
Mark was really relieved. Although the old butler meant to threaten, he also gave some conditions, unlike the two mallets just now which were just threats. As long as there are conditions, we can negotiate!
Major Joseph also breathed a sigh of relief, but he looked at the old butler with a complicated expression, because he had already sensed the taste and knew where he had made a mistake just now. This kind of mistake was so childish. If Grand Duke Constantine later
When you react, what will you think of him? Do you think he is worse than a butler?
Fortunately, Grand Duke Constantine hadn't reacted yet. He was a little surprised that his butler suddenly interrupted. He was a little dissatisfied at first, but the old butler's words were beautiful and did not make him lose his status. He was even vaguely dissatisfied.
It was about to be more effective than his previous blind pressure, which made someone hesitate. This shows that it is effective!
Suddenly, Grand Duke Constantine was confused and a little satisfied and happy. He felt that the old butler had done a good job, but he knew why it was so good and he didn't know why.
Now that Mark has a bargaining position, he naturally won't leave, but he can't really repent. It would be beneficial to influence him, right? So he immediately showed off his acting skills, with entanglements and hesitations written on his face.
, as if struggling.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, if I put things right, can you ensure my safety and really forget about it and give me another chance?"
Grand Duke Constantine was overjoyed when he heard that. Although he couldn't figure out how someone turned a corner, as long as someone was willing to cooperate obediently, he didn't mind giving someone a little benefit. After all, as long as he defeated Menshi
Cove, he is naturally the Lord of the Admiralty. At that time, giving someone three melons and two dates meant nothing!
So he immediately patted his chest and promised: "As long as you are willing to bring order to the chaos, I will ensure that you are safe and have a worry-free future!"
Well, the old housekeeper was really speechless, because he found that his Grand Duke was really a fool, how could he negotiate like this? You are either pushing people to death or you are as generous and generous as a prodigal. Isn't this crazy!
To be honest, Mark feels the same way. This kick in the sky and the bottom in the pit is more exciting than riding a roller coaster, but if your heart is almost unbearable, okay?
He also probably sensed that a certain Grand Duke was a stick, and knew that if he continued to talk about "salary" or "conditions", he might end up playing tricks again, so he had better get to the point quickly and let someone see what he was capable of and show off himself.
It is better to negotiate the terms after the value is determined.
"In this case, as long as you can keep your promise, I am willing to bring order to the chaos!"
Archduke Constantine smiled and said impatiently: "Then let's talk quickly. Well, let's start with those two cases. I believe you definitely have some useful materials!"
Mark smiled bitterly. He didn't understand how Grand Duke Constantine identified those two cases. To be honest, he didn't think those two cases were enough to defeat Menshikov. If he started from there, it would be impossible.
Asking for trouble!
So he advised: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I did have some materials in those two cases, but those materials are not enough to pose a fatal threat to Menshikov. The most I have is that they can be used for self-protection."
,It is not meaningful!"
Grand Duke Constantine was immediately disappointed, because he had spent a lot of effort and done countless homework for those two cases, but someone actually said that it was of little significance. This was really disappointing!
Immediately, his face dropped, and his attitude changed from the enthusiastic one just now to extremely cold: "Oh, really."
To be honest, just because of his ability to change his face, he is not suitable for being in the officialdom. When you are useful, you treat him like a treasure. When you hear that he is useless, you treat him like a piece of grass. Who dares to hang out with you?
Mark quickly explained: "Your Highness, those two cases are indeed very important, but the implications are too wide, not only involving Menshikov, but also almost all senior officials of the Navy Department, and even many cabinet ministers.
I'm involved. If you insist on investigating, I'm afraid you will offend a lot of people!"
This is to tell Grand Duke Constantine not to investigate the case indiscriminately. If you lift those two lids, you will indirectly offend a large number of high-ranking officials. Even if you are a prince and Grand Duke, with the energy of these people, you can unite to break up the case.
You will be exhausted in minutes.
Of course, Mark was not just a warning, he also pointed out a clear path: "So those two cases cannot be investigated. If you investigate them, you will be asking for trouble. Menshikov is probably eager for you to investigate them."
"My suggestion is to avoid those two cases and focus on other smaller cases that only involve Menshikov and his gang. I know a lot of such cases!"
Grand Duke Constantine was a little disappointed just now, but as soon as he heard that there were other cases that Menshikov could take on, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly ordered: "Tell me! Tell me quickly!"
