"I can't say too much about the Hampawo visiting group. You will understand soon. Also about the throne... I know that the two of you have said something to your daughter."
Under the shade of the tree, Jenkins glanced at the girls in the distance. Although Hathaway was behind her back, Jenkins saw the diamond earrings she was wearing, which was a gift from him. I can hear you.
"Please don't put pressure on them. Whatever I become will not affect the relationship between me and them. In addition, although this is very impolite, you need to understand that what I hate the most is being manipulated."
The cat on the shoulder "meow~" in support of Jenkins.
"So, please don't play any tricks. Even if I can't become the king of this country, the church is still my backing."
Marquis Mihail smiled and said nothing, and Count Hessa, who looked like a soldier, said:
"Williamt, you don't have to worry about this. You can see this as a very important political investment. We have not yet manipulated the idea of this country. Besides, you are not the only ones staring at you. You just need to understand , we are more trustworthy than anyone else."
"Is Miss Windsor not to be trusted?"
"If we just want to make a political investment and gain some advantage in the next generation, guess what the Duke of Windsor wants to do?"
Count Hessa asked, and Jenkins understood what he meant.
"I usually don't slander people behind their backs, but the Duke of Windsor cannot be trusted. You are very smart, William, you must know why the daughter of the Windsor family approached you. You said you don't like being manipulated by others, Then you should be more wary of those named Windsor."
The Earl said, Jenkins nodded and looked back at Miss Windsor:
"I understand all these things, and about the 'cooperation'... I am naturally willing to accept it."
Although he hasn't made up his mind yet, the step-by-step development of the matter has made him have to make preparations. In fact, he is also biased, because what Alexia said is so right:
"Happy cooperation~"
Calling a servant who passed by with a tray, Jenkins fetched a glass of wine.
"Happy cooperation~"
Marquis Mihail and Count Hesha also raised their glasses and said in unison.
The three wine glasses collided under the blurred moonlight, and all three of them got their own satisfactory results.
"Meow~"
The moonlight still cannot reach Chocolate, but it likes shadows and darkness. While Jenkins isn't dark, Chocolate likes him too. On Jenkins' side, it's someone else who really has a dark soul, someone else who might have an impact on Kitty's life.
Marquis Michael and Count Hessa left soon after, knowing that the young man would still enjoy the banquet. Jenkins turned around and wanted to walk back to Hathaway and the others, but at this moment he heard someone calling him again.
"Viscount William~"
Someone shouted, and Jenkins turned to see a foreigner with a Cheslan appearance walking towards him. This is no stranger, I saw him yesterday during the riots at the city hall. This is the messenger who delivered the "message of peace" to the king of Cheslan, and was responsible for bringing the news of the proud Tarquin to Queen Isabella of the Kingdom of Fidiktli.
His appearance here means that the information has been brought, and the killing of some opposition organizations in the Cheslan Kingdom has completely failed. The envoy is safe now, even if he is killed, it will be of no value.
"Viscount William, oh, please wait a moment."
The man walked quickly in front of Jenkins and bowed deeply:
"Thank you, thank you for saving me yesterday."
Yesterday Jenkins had the option of pointing out his position directly in the crowd so there would be no follow-up.
"It's a small thing, and I think anyone with a sense of justice would do it."
Jenkins, who has immortality, said so.
"No, I think it is very rare to meet people with your fearless and brave character. I am really grateful. I am just a small person. It is really an honor to be helped by someone like you."
When the messenger went to Beldyran, he was determined to die. He knew what kind of mission he shouldered, so he had already thought about the possible tragic ending. Being able to successfully complete the task now is the best of all possibilities, so I am extra excited at this time.
Jenkins was also happy for the man who had just completed a daunting task, so he asked him where he wanted to go next. The messenger told Jenkins that his mission had been completed, and it was inevitable that he would be hunted down by some angry people when he returned to Cheslan, so he decided to stay in the Kingdom of Fidiktli for the time being, since he had no family anyway.
"I'm planning to go to Nolan on the west coast. I heard it's a nice city, and I have friends there, friends I used to know."
He said vaguely, implying that there are some things that cannot be mentioned.
So Jenkins wished him a good journey, and then he was a little curious about what the two kings would do next after the messenger sent the message of Tarquin the Proud to Queen Isabella. I thought the messenger would not know, but he gave Jenkins the answer immediately:
"His Majesty will bring members of the royal family to visit Beldyran in the near future."
He showed respect akin to worship to the king of Cheslan, Tarquin the Proud.
"This is a decision that has been made. Even if I don't deliver the letter, His Majesty will visit. I think tomorrow's newspaper will publish the news of His Majesty's visit. Oh, of course, your news will definitely be on the front page, after all That's the real big deal for this country."
The envoy is a believer of the righteous god [Lord of War God]. Because the teachings of this righteous god and the sage partially contradict each other, there are almost no such believers around Jenkins. The messenger told Jenkins that after he came to Beldylan to complete his mission, he originally planned to seek shelter from the Church of the God of War, but later found that there was no Church of the God of War in the local area—he thought that there would definitely be a God of War in a big city like Beldylan. church. This is the tradition of Cheslan, and the belief in the god of war is very common in the southern country.
"Recently, the Twelve Orthodox Churches have sent representatives to Beldylan. You may be able to find their delegation, so that you don't have to go to Nolan to seek refuge with friends."
Jenkins suggested.
"I don't think it is necessary. I am not a very devout believer. If I trouble the church just for my own safety, it will make my conscience uneasy."
The messenger said this, thanked Jenkins again and said goodbye. He didn't stay longer at the banquet, but left Cold Spring Palace directly. Here, it's not suitable for someone like him.
On Sunday morning, Jenkins, who was sitting between Hathaway and Britney at the dining table of the Rosalia Hotel and holding a newspaper, saw a photo of his family and Queen Isabella on the front page.
He laughed and pointed out to Britney that the cat in the photo had somehow just been hidden in the shadows, making the image of the chocolate look like a spooky blob of stain. Britney looked at the photos in the newspaper with interest, and then lamented that among the three William brothers, Jenkins and Robert really looked the most alike.
Shortly after meeting with Cheslan's messenger last night, Robert took Newman and John to find Jenkins, so he met Hathaway and Britney. I don't know what Dad and Robert mentioned, but he seems to know the relationship between Jenkins and these two girls very well.
But Robert didn't talk about sensitive topics last night. He just patted Jenkins on the shoulder and told the blond and red-haired girls some interesting stories about the original owner's childhood. Hathaway and Britney were then invited to their home on Privet Drive after returning to Nolan.
After all, the family is now living in the hotel, which is not a formal place to "meet the parents". Besides, Mary, the mother of the three Jenkins brothers, attaches great importance to the fact that the future "Mrs. Williamette" will be a guest at home. Robert believes that his wife should first accept the fact that her husband and children are members of the royal family. The fact that Jenkins' "friend" is coming over is a low priority and can be pushed back a bit.
The life of the William family, because of last night's banquet, will definitely change dramatically in the foreseeable future. The newspapers claimed that last night Her Majesty had invited them to live at Cold Spring Palace. But according to Jenkins' understanding, Queen Isabella did not mention this matter at all, and the Williamette family has no plan to relocate from Nolan to Beldyland for the time being.
Even if you want to move, you have to wait until the dust of the succession of the throne is settled, anyway, it will definitely not be now. The William family has not been dazzled by this incident.
It seemed that overnight, all the details of last night's banquet spread throughout the city. All the other ladies in the tour party who sat at the long table with Jenkins knew about it all at once. On the surface, they maintained the same performance as the previous day, but Jenkins' ears could hear his name being mentioned frequently from those whispers.
He doesn't care about these, he just cares about the "other heirs" mentioned in the headlines on the front page. Before the Williams family appeared, the heirs to the throne existed, although their blood ties were weak. The few people mentioned now, including Miss Windsor, are not entirely lost opportunities.
Even the foreigner Horace Luthor, who was driven away in full view yesterday, is legally eligible to inherit. These people must be frequent visitors to the newspapers for a period of time in the future. Although public opinion generally believes that the queen brought back the descendants of the four illegitimate children in order to find a successor from them, Jenkins always feels that the old man with a heavy heart , the inner thoughts are definitely not that simple.
