This elegant middle-aged man slowly took off his glasses and the royal emblem on his chest. After taking off these two things, the Governor of the Northern Territory looked at the lion Gawain seriously and said:
"The Duke's orphanage raised my body, and the Duke's academy taught me knowledge. My friend, I am not a vassal of the royal family, I am also a vassal of the Wolf Family!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the lion Gawain:
"Get up, my friend, and let us make it known to the whole world if necessary."
The Governor's eyes looked towards the Fog City with deep chill:
"The North will always be the Wolf family's North!"

After hearing this, the lion Gawain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed:
"I knew you were reliable!"
As he said this, he placed his hand on the other person's palm. After getting up, the lion Gawain looked towards the direction of the foggy city and said:
"What do you think the tyrant will do then?"
But the Governor shook his head and said:
"It is not certain that the descendants of that branch can be called the successors of the Wolf Family."
To this, the lion Gawain nodded profoundly:
"I was too impatient. Even if they are blood relatives, they are not necessarily qualified to be called the heirs of the Wolf Family."
After all, they are only blood relatives, not pure-blooded descendants of the Wolf family.
After talking about the lion Gawain mentioned Mozo again:
"What do you think the lord sent by the tyrant means?"
The Governor said, with his hands behind his back:
"She never selected any lords to be appointed in the North before. They were all royal officials like me, or old ministers of the North like you. And over the years, the power and influence of the old ministers of the North have been gradually replaced by royal officials."
"I guess, maybe she thinks it's time to completely divide the North?"
This is a very reasonable guess, so the lion Gawain couldn't help but snort coldly after hearing it:
"It seems that the success over the past few years has made the tyrant really believe that she controls the North!"
The lion Gawain walked to the balcony, leaned on the railing, looked at the northern land and whispered:
"The North is indeed full of royal officials, and the key positions of various power agencies are indeed firmly controlled by the tyrant. But. This is useless!"
At this point, the lion Gawain couldn't help but sneer:
"She must have completely forgotten that the North belongs to the Wolf family, and the people of the North will always recognize the Wolf family! Her officials are all over the North, but the people of the North are truly everywhere. Her minions control all the key positions. But the soldiers and staff in their hands are all children of the North."
"The flag of the Wolf family will always stand tall in the hearts of the people of the North!"
The Governor slowly walked to the lion Gawain, also looking at the land of the North, and said:
"Yes, the Wolf family is the master of the North."
The people of the North will always remember that Duke Cromwell of the Wolf family is the monarch who truly cares about them.
This point cannot be changed in just three hundred years.
It is also because of this that the northern lords such as Gawain the Lion, who took the lead in kneeling to the tyrant, were so easily replaced one by one by the Queen's officials.
Because when the soldiers in the north were ready to march south and trample everything, their lords and their superiors bowed their noble heads to the authority of the tyrant.
The tyrant abandoned her only loyal supporter, and the northern lords abandoned their only master.
Such behavior made them lose the support of the people. That is why when the Queen's officials began to gradually replace them, it was so smooth.
But those officials will never understand that it is not their wisdom and authority that makes the people choose them, but that their coming to office makes them even more unpopular.
The Governor who had been rooted in the North for hundreds of years knew very well that once the flag of the Wolf family was raised again, the army and people of the North would gather under the flag of the Wolf family again.
Thinking of this, the Governor frowned deeply, so he had to make sure that the branch of the Wolf family was qualified enough to bear the glory of the Wolf family.
Otherwise, an unqualified monarch will not only lead the old friends in the North to the abyss, but also make the glory of the Wolf family completely lost in the hearts of the people.
The latter was far more unacceptable to him than the former.
It was at this time that the lion Gawain suddenly said:
"I do not want vassals of a tyrant in the North. Do you?"
The Governor, who had other plans in mind, then said:
"He was a young man, a former civilian and an orphan. What do you think the weakness of such a person would be?"
The lion Gawain raised his head and looked at the beautiful night scene below him and said calmly:
"I heard that in order to win him over, the tyrant appointed a daughter of the Rose family's side branch as his guardian knight. I know that daughter, it's Jasmine Windsor. She's a very famous beauty. It's obvious that the tyrant has high hopes for him! He's willing to put such a beauty by his side."
The Governor nodded and said:
"He is a viscount and owns a quasi-earl-level territory. Regardless of whether it is according to the imperial law or the ancient law of the nobility, he is qualified to have two guardian knights."
The Governor said this with a smile, looking at the lion Gawain and said:
"I plan to let Verdani serve as his other guardian knight."
The lion Gawain looked over with some surprise.
Verdani Gorris, the most beautiful lady in the North, is also a famous knight in the North. She has a very strong character.
"If he does anything wrong, I will bring him to ruin. A hero who saved the Special Zone? What this world loves most is to see heroes become despicable."
"I know what you mean, but Verdani is the only descendant of the Goris family. Wouldn't this be too unfair to her and the Goris family? And I can't quite accept such a proposal."
The Governor shook his head.
"Let Verdani take over temporarily, just like Miss Rose. And we don't ask her to sacrifice anything. We just put a good touchstone next to Mozo."
"If he is a qualified noble, then I will not resort to any despicable means. On the contrary, why should you and I worry about whether this is against the manners of the North for a scum?"
The lion Gawain nodded, but still wanted to say something with a little worry.
However, the Governor patted him on the shoulder and said:
"We have watched Verdani grow up. Don't worry, I will arrange everything. I will never let her suffer any threat or loss."
Seeing that the Governor had said so, Gawain finally agreed and said:
"Okay, I believe you!"
The Governor suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:
"They've reached Winterfell."
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly and laughed:
"Your Excellency the Duke is far-sighted. It hasn't been long since the airship brought them here."
As they spoke, Lion Gawain and the Governor looked towards the countless anti-aircraft artillery batteries that had been set up inside the White Castle three hundred years ago.
Three hundred years ago, even the famous general Gawain the Lion could not have imagined that in just three hundred years, the sky would undergo drastic changes.
Thanks to the Duke's action, White Castle and many other northern fortresses did not destroy their city walls like other cities did in order to add air defense measures.
The Governor returned to the room and put on his gold-rimmed glasses and the royal emblem again.
After adjusting his collar in front of the mirror, the Governor said:
"Well, let me go see this Viscount Mozo!"
-
On a royal airship bound for Winterfell in the North.
Mozo said to the knight lady sitting in front of him with great gratitude and embarrassment:
"I didn't expect you would actually agree to temporarily replace my knight. But, thank you so much!"
The knight lady, who had changed from her high-slit dress to her knight armor, was obviously much more comfortable. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said:
"In fact, if Her Majesty the Queen hadn't appointed me, I would probably go out for a walk. The North is also my first choice, and now is the perfect time. I can come with you."
Mozo smiled and nodded, then asked curiously:
"And Miss Catherine's?"
After mentioning her cousin, Miss Knight looked a little lonely:
"The young lady will stay at home in the Fog City recently. It's very safe there."
Mozo noticed the sadness on Miss Knight's face and asked immediately:
"But what's the problem?"
Miss Knight smiled reluctantly and said:
"It's not a big deal, it's just my personal opinion."
"If you can, you might as well tell me. We are friends. It would be much more comfortable to talk to friends about many topics."
After hearing the word "friend", the knight lady hesitated for a moment and then said truthfully:
"The main reason is that I don't think I am qualified to be the young lady's guardian knight. Although the relationship between the young lady and I is not formally that of master and servant. But as you know, she is my cousin, and it was my aunt who entrusted her safety to me."
The knight slowly lowered his head, then looked at his palms covered by armor and said:
"But in the Special Zone, I actually let the young lady be captured by a group of villains. This makes me feel that I should not continue to serve as the young lady's guardian knight."
As she spoke, Miss Knight looked at Mozo with a somewhat lonely but grateful expression and smiled:
"Honestly, I am very grateful to you now for allowing a disqualified knight like me to continue to protect your safety."
Mozo suddenly understood. No wonder she didn't go back to the Fog City with Miss Catherine at that time. It turned out to be this problem.
At the same time, Mozo also remembered the look in the eyes of Grand Duke Windsor who wanted to kill him in the Imperial Garden. It seemed that Grand Duke Windsor did not blame his niece for this. Mozo immediately comforted her:
"Everyone makes mistakes. I don't intend to make any comments about your failure to protect Miss Catherine, but Miss Jasmine, you protected me very well when facing the Green Angel!"
"So I think you are very qualified as a knight! And I also believe that the Rose family does not think you are wrong."
Speaking of this, Miss Knight thought of Mozo, who was carried on her shoulders at that time. She smiled a little embarrassedly:
"I was really a little embarrassed at the time. But I couldn't hold you in my arms."
Hold in your arms?!
Mozo was stunned at first, then he understood and started laughing.
"That's a bit inelegant indeed."
Behind Mozzo and Miss Knight, Miss Audrey Hepburn was lying behind a chair, staring at the two people who were talking and laughing in front of her with a hidden and resentful look.
After accepting the Queen's appointment, Mozo did not rush directly to his fiefdom to receive the title, but returned to the Special Zone first, where he recruited the "team" that he should have as a viscount.
But although they are a team, there are actually only a few people.
Ms. Audrey is one of them. Applying as an accountant!
Although Audrey was a student at the Flower Academy, as a branch of Cromwell University, the Flower Academy was not just a place that taught young ladies makeup and etiquette.
However, while studying how to put on makeup and blend into the upper class, he carefully tinkered with his extraordinary ways and also took a few certificates.
Among them, there was one named Mozo who had to work very hard to obtain the special accounting certificate.
It can be said that if Miss Audrey lowered her goal from being a noble lady to becoming a noble's retainer, then with this certificate, she could easily knock on the door of any middle-class noble's house.
Or you can directly apply to be a senior employee of a large bank.
Therefore, it is no problem to let Audrey serve as an accountant for a viscount!
But at this moment, Audrey's skirt was suddenly pulled by a small hand. Audrey woke up and hurriedly looked back.
I was greeted by a pair of bright and clean little eyes.
The little girl in the bubble skirt looked up curiously and asked:
"Sister, why are you always looking at Mozo and the other sister?"
Instantly, Audrey panicked and started dancing on her chair:
"What...what do you mean by 'watching'? Don't talk nonsense, kid. I was just staring at the window over there!"
