Carlos collar.
The warm morning light shone into the iron castle, and the golden light filled the entire hall.
"My lord!"
Two young girls aged seventeen or eighteen wore ladylike dresses and bowed gracefully to Amelia.
"Ceris, Cecile, after breakfast, go to the tutor's place obediently. The etiquette teacher that Sir invited for you came from Howling Castle, and knows the most elegant etiquette of blue bloods!"
Amelia said with a sullen face: "Even if the adults are not around, you can't skip class! A well-bred lady will not spend a whole day tending flowers and plants in the back garden, understand!?"
"We understand, my lord mother!"
The two girls stuck out their cute little pink tongues, held up the hem of their skirts and said, with a hint of slyness in their innocent expressions: "When will the godfather come back?"
"soon!"
Amelia watched this scene, but secretly sighed in her heart.
Knowing that although her two daughters have become well-known beauties, a trace of affection secretly hangs on that Lord Jazz.
It's a pity that, with their identities, it is impossible to become the wife of Lord Jazz at this time, but mistresses...
As if thinking of something, Amelia immediately blushed.
"besides… "
The younger girl, Cecil had a hesitant expression on her face: "That Lord Sissy is really annoying... When will he leave?"
"Lord Cisse?"
The smile on Amelia's face suddenly cooled down, and her expression was a little nervous: "What's wrong with him?"
"He often looks at me and my sister lewdly!"
Cecil said angrily, at her age, she already understood everything she should know, and she was very dissatisfied with Lord Cisse who occupied the best guest room in the Iron Castle as soon as he came.
"How to treat him is something that Sir Jazz can decide!"
Amelia smiled again: "Okay... Ladies should go to today's class!"
After the two ladies left, the smile on her face gradually turned cold: "Sister Sata!"
"Dear madam, why have you summoned your servant!"
The door opened, and a tall, middle-aged woman with a cold face walked in.
"Recently, stay close to the two ladies, and be especially careful of Lord Sissy, understand?"
Amelia is not an ordinary noble lady, she has been tempered by her previous sufferings.
"If this person really has evil intentions, treat him the same way you treated those arrogant people..."
She sneered, causing Sister Sata's body to tremble. After all, that kind of punishment was too cruel for a man.
After Sister Sata went out, Qiao Fu in military uniform came in again: "Ma'am!"
Due to physical reasons, Old Geoff is not suitable to continue to stay in the main battle force, but with his rich experience, he is more than enough to serve as a sheriff, and he has pushed the law and order of the entire Carross Territory to a good situation.
"What's the matter?"
Amelia rubbed her brows, feeling that Geoff would not bring any good news.
"That Lord Sissy is not only very interested in our factory, but several of his followers even crossed the cordon without authorization last night, and have been captured by the guard team of the breastplate factory!"
"thief?!"
Amelia was surprised at first, then smiled.
In departments involving steel, weapons, etc., Wu Ming implements military management. Those factory guard teams are all trained by soldiers and led by experienced non-commissioned officers. army.
To spy on intelligence at such a difficulty, unless you attack with a stronger force, it is not much different from sending you to death.
"There are five people in total, how should we deal with them?"
Geoff asked solemnly.
"They got access to that information?"
"The most successful one just took a look at our production line from a distance, and the various reference rooms and drawing libraries are intact!"
Geoff straightened his chest and answered with some pride.
"All in custody!"
Amelia immediately made a decision.
"But... my lord..." Geoff asked hesitantly.
"Remember, Geoff, what you caught last night were just thieves with malicious intentions! Who is Lord Sissy? How can he get involved with such a dirty scum?"
Amelia smiled.
"I see, ma'am!"
Qiao Fu's eyes brightened, he bowed and stepped back.
…
After arranging these, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief, and a tired look appeared on her face.
Only at this time will she realize that she is still a woman, hoping to have an arm to lean on.
"My lord, please come back as soon as possible!"
Amelia thought silently in her heart, but when she entered the living room, she had a professional smile on her face again, and looked at a nobleman who was holding a knife and fork on the seat, who was dealing with a piece of ham: "Good day , Lord Cisse, I hope everything here will satisfy you!"
The lord known as Cisse looked less than forty years old, with blue eyes, pale skin, and a wig on his head. Almost as soon as he got close to him, there was a smell of inferior perfume, which made people feel nauseous. .
Of course Amelia knew the Lord's details.
In fact, in Fengying Plain, there are only a few nobles who can obtain fiefdoms, and some descendants of nobles have no noble blood, but their livelihoods are poor, they cannot maintain a self-sufficient life, and they have to rely on other big families. Nobles, expecting to be paid for their services, even rewards from fiefdoms.
Some of them have made great achievements, but have not yet qualified for conferring fiefs, or if they really have no extra land, they will be temporarily canonized as Lord of Honor, a title that cannot be hereditary, and they are considered half nobles.
But after having this title, as long as one can get a fief and pass it on, one will slowly enter the noble class.
Therefore, this kind of honorary lord is the craziest dog under those great nobles. In order to make enough achievements, there is almost nothing they dare not do.
"Actually... very bad!"
Lord Cisse stuffed every piece of food on the table into his mouth, as if there was a bottomless pit in his stomach, and looked Amelia up and down with a pair of eyes. The presumptuous gaze made Amelia grit her teeth secretly.
"I want to see Sir William Wallace!"
He wiped his mouth with a white napkin in what he considered to be an elegant posture, and immediately said: "But he keeps going out! Oh! Doesn't William know that as a lord, he has a responsibility to this land? "
"My master is an excellent lord. He has brought endless wealth to the territory, allowing every citizen to live and work in peace and contentment!"
Amelia responded without giving an inch.
"But a good lord should not leave his fief, let alone fail to fulfill his obligations!"
Cisse brandished a knife and fork, and pointed a silver table knife almost at Amelia's nose: "William's lord, the great blue-blooded leader, the Earl of Blue Mountain has fallen into war, as a vassal, But he fled when he should have fulfilled his duty! What is this? This is the most violent betrayal of the sacred oath!"
He accused William with righteous words, but he was already happy in his heart.
The wealth led by Carlos is well-known in the entire Fengying Plain. If he doesn't make a good fortune this time, how can he be worthy of his hard work in planning this mission and the exhaustion of traveling all the way
There was even a secret thought in his heart.
He knew that his lord was dissatisfied with Sir William, and if he could find an opportunity to deprive the knight's territory and transfer it to himself... he seemed to see a river flowing with Jin Delong in front of his eyes!
Although this is difficult, but with the contacts I have accumulated with the Earl, there is no chance. At that time, all the gains this time can be invested in as bribes.
As for returns? It doesn't matter, this land will give itself the best return.
As a feudal lord, collecting taxes is an instinct. If you don't scrape this place a few feet, how can you be worthy of him
"I protest!"
Amelia's towering chest rose and fell with anger: "Sir William left the territory before the call-up order came! It was not intentional to violate my responsibilities! And, as early as when I received the call-up order, I had already ordered a hundred Soldiers, go to the Earl of Blue Mountain to fulfill their lord's duty!"
"But facts are facts! Even a thousand strong soldiers can't replace the fact that their knights never arrived!"
Lord Cisse took out a piece of parchment covered with blue tiger wax, shrugged his shoulders: "I regret to inform you that once a month has passed and Sir William has not returned, I will have to follow the earl's decree to temporarily 'Took over' the territory."
"Master Jazz will return!"
Amelia said in a low voice with a firm expression.
"All right!"
Cisse was lying on the armchair with a lazy expression, and he seemed to ask unintentionally: "Also...where have my loyal servants gone?"
"That's what you should ask yourself!"
Amelia sneered.
"My people disappeared in Carlos Territory..." Cisse's face turned cold, "You must give me a satisfactory answer!"
"My lord!"
At this time, another servant in gray quickly entered and whispered a few words to him, causing Cisse to stand up, his face flushed red: "How dare you detain the earl's envoy, do you want to rebel?"
Amelia was taken aback, she didn't expect the other party to find out so quickly.
"I'm going to the factory right now, let them hand over my servants, and hang all those who attack them!"
Lord Cisse seized the opportunity, his eyes glowed with excitement, and he roared loudly.
"You... you have no right to do this!"
Amelia said in a low voice.
"I have the right to do this, because at this time, I represent the earl!"
Cisse replied with a complacent expression.
