The First and Second Highnesses became more and more excited as they talked, but did not notice the expressions of Catherine and the old Grand Duke. In their hearts, if they could sacrifice one Catherine to bring Meng Han under their command, they would never frown.
"I'm tired, let me be quiet!" The old prince waited for them to chatter for a long time, and then he said a little tiredly. His Highness and His Highness looked at each other, and no one said anything more.
Turn around and leave.
"Father!" Catherine whined behind the old man, threw herself directly on his shoulder, and began to cry.
"Catherine!" The old prince grabbed Catherine's hand and pulled her to him. He looked carefully at Catherine's originally delicate face, which was now full of sadness. He called out softly, and then sighed: "If you
It would be great if he were a man!"
"The family has reached this point, and we are fighting to the death with the Marquis, unless I am willing to abdicate." The old Grand Duke took his daughter's hand and said to himself. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or explaining to Catherine: "
However, if I abdicate, your two brothers will never be happy. They will definitely commit suicide, which will give the Marquis an excuse to kill them. If I don't abdicate, we will also have to fight to the death, relying solely on head-on confrontation.
, we still have no way to survive.”
"Are we just waiting to die?" Catherine also understood the seriousness of the situation. In fact, she knew it even if the old man didn't say it.
"It's not enough to wait to die." There was a glint in the old Grand Duke's eyes: "I still have the last strength to give us a chance to win."
"Then use it quickly!" Catherine felt like grabbing a life-saving straw, and her whole body became excited.
"But, this only works for the Marquis." The old Grand Duke said with a bitter smile: "But even if we defeat the Marquis, what will we do with so many of his rebellious men? Even if we don't die in the hands of the Marquis, we will support him.
Not long! Unless..."
"Unless what?" Catherine asked in surprise.
"Unless there is a strong person who can support us." The old Grand Duke looked at his daughter and finally told the truth: "I want the family to win, and I want your brother to continue to be the Grand Duke, and I want to secure this Grand Duke's position.
, in the Principality of Trans, you must have the support of Count Antonio." After saying that, the old Grand Duke also showed a look of expectation in his eyes.
"For the sake of the family, I have to seduce Count Antonio and make him fall to our side, right?" Catherine's eyes were red, and the expression on her face was a little shocked: "Even if we have the last trump card, we have to do this, right?
?”
"Katherine, for the sake of the family, you have to suffer." The old prince nodded sadly. He had to make such a statement, although he didn't feel there was anything wrong with sacrificing his daughter for the family: "
Even if we use our last trump card, without the support of Count Antonio, the Grand Duke of Trans is just a poor Grand Duke and will soon be annexed by other principalities. You don’t want your brother to be like this after he becomes the Grand Duke.
One end, right?"
"I understand!" Catherine calmed down, but the indifference in her words made the old man tremble in his heart. Looking at her father, Catherine locked up her heart: "
It's a pity that I'm a woman, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, right? I'll set off tomorrow to find Count Antonio!"
"Do whatever it takes to seduce him, win him over, and tell him that as long as you support your brother, he can become a marquis!" The old Grand Duke nodded and told Catherine: "As for which brother to support, you decide for yourself! You can only succeed, not
Failure, otherwise, the family will never have a chance to turn around!"
"Yes, Father!" Catherine agreed, turned and left with a straight face. At this moment, her heart had been shattered into the smallest pieces. Even her father, who had always loved her, had made such a decision. Unfortunately, she was not
Men cannot inherit the title of Grand Duke.
"If Her Royal Highness the Princess is interested in the position of the Grand Duke one day, and is also interested in me, then we might as well discuss the verbal agreement again." Meng Han's words naturally appeared in Catherine's mind at this moment, and with
Correspondingly, Catherine had another thought that even surprised her: "The Grand Duchess? It sounds interesting!"
Meng Han had no idea that he had become a first-level attraction target. More and more people were coming to Huangsha City, which almost made the current Huangsha City feel like it couldn't let go. The construction of a new city was imminent.
What surprised Meng Han was that many nobles showed up in Huangsha City with their families. As if overnight, Huangsha City had become a leisure resort for the nobles. But after Meng Han learned about it, he quickly understood
, The battle between the Marquis and the old Grand Duke has reached the final moment, and they will soon see each other. These nobles are obviously here to avoid the limelight.
The unique geographical location of Huangsha City, as well as the relationship between Meng Han and the Marquis, make this place the only place that has not been affected by the fight between the two sides. The nobles are not fools. Those neutral nobles know how to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.
Huangsha City has become the best choice without leaving the principality. Moreover, it is not only safe, but also has merchants from all over the country, various products, and even various fine products from Master Antonio. In addition to dragon
Apart from the regret that the snake mixture cannot reflect the superiority of the nobility, everything else is simply perfect.
After learning this, Meng Han couldn't help but smile: "Demi, go call Grace!" A brilliant idea appeared in Meng Han's mind.
With Meng Han's financial resources, it would be difficult to build a new city right now, but these nobles who came to his door gave Meng Han a chance. With their help, there was no need to worry about whether the new city could be built.
"Grace, hold a cocktail party for me and gather all these nobles and big businessmen." Meng Han ordered to Grace.
"Sir, in what name?" Grace asked, looking forward to it. Except when the Lord's Mansion was completed, Meng Han had never taken the initiative to hold a cocktail party. He must have had some good ideas this time.
"Auction reception for the new Huangsha City high-end residential area!" Meng Han replied with a smile: "This time, maybe we can raise a sum of gold coins to start building our new city!"
"Yes, sir!" Grace's eyes shone. Of course she had seen Meng Han's new city plan a long time ago, but those exquisite designs were still on paper and could not be realized because of the gold coins. Now
There is an opportunity soon, how can Grace not be happy? Naturally, Grace is happy, and Alice also understands what is going on, and is equally happy.
"Sir, Miss Claudia and Lidya plan to leave Huangsha City the day after tomorrow. Would you like to see them off?" Grace reminded Meng Han, and then asked: "Sir, I would like to have a cocktail party before they leave.
Open it, or open it after leaving?"
"Before we leave, let's do it tomorrow!" Meng Han thought for a while and set a date: "I will personally invite the two ladies and let them see the theater of their dreams."
"Yes, sir!" Grace curtsied and left to make arrangements.
Meng Han's invitation caused a flurry of excitement. The brand-new Huangsha City, a high-end residential area, is closely adjacent to the brand-new Lord's Mansion. If you have enough gold coins, you can get Antonio, the master of architectural design, for only 50,000 gold coins.
The blueprints designed by the Earl himself, whether they were nobles or big businessmen, all went crazy.
Everyone knows where Huangsha City is now. It can be said to be a gold and silver cave. Wealth and goods from all directions are concentrated here, and then spread out in all directions. If you can get a piece of good land here, it will be absolutely heavenly.
Great wealth. In this world, there may be people who hate light, some who hate darkness, and some who hate power, but there are no people who hate gold coins.
The key point is that in addition to wealth, there is also sufficient security here. Haven't you seen even the clergy of the Light Empire and the Dark Empire being hung high on the Gallows Street for committing crimes? Is there anything safer than here?
A place? Even in the capital of the kingdom, do you dare to send the priests of the Light Empire and the Dark Empire to the gallows?
Suddenly, Meng Han's cocktail party invitation became the most popular commodity. An invitation was sold for fifty gold coins. Naturally, Grace and Alice contributed to this. With their influence on businessmen like Huangsha City,
We understand that merchants who are willing to spend such a price to seize the first opportunity in the new city can definitely be measured in units of hundreds.
Soon, news came out on the morning of the reception that the reception would be opened by a new dance drama by Claudia and Miss Lidia. This was also the last performance of the two queen idols in Huangsha City. After the performance
, they will leave Huangsha City for a period of touring.
As soon as this news came out, the price of the invitation immediately doubled. Even Grace and Alice did not expect that the attraction of the two diva idols, coupled with Meng Han's new city land auction, would be able to make those who wanted to
Those who wanted to enter the venue paid a price of one hundred gold coins. You must know that this one hundred gold coins was enough for them to live for more than half a year before Meng Han came to Huangsha City.
Grace and Alice were very familiar with Meng Han's money-making knack. In fact, there were only twenty invitations sent out. Ten of them were for wealthy nobles with earl or above, while the other ten were for
It was for the really big merchants. The extra two hundred and close to three hundred invitations were all sold through various channels. From this alone, Meng Han earned more than 20,000 gold coins.
Everyone who got the invitation was extremely ecstatic. Everyone was waiting hard for the opening time to arrive. There was never a moment when they felt that time passed so slowly and they wished they could find a way to speed it up a few times.
