"Your Highness, Director Hansk did not return to the baronial territory in Dremke Province." Schwader came to report.
Lorist didn't let Schward, who was out of customs, go to the guard camp as the deputy commander, but let him go to the Volibear Intelligence and Investigation Bureau as the deputy director. Since Tagle went to the Commercial Alliance, the efficiency of the Volibear Intelligence and Investigation Bureau has dropped greatly. The deputy appointed by Tagle lacks an overall strategic vision for intelligence control, which makes Lorist very dissatisfied. It is also hopeful to send Schward to go. Can make up for deficiencies in investigative detail and focus.
"Oh, then where did he go?" Lorist's expression changed.
"He has gone to Fenglin Villa. Mrs. Elena sent someone and a carriage to pick him up. It is said that he will hire Supervisor Hanske to be the first teacher of the second young master Zibercic." Schwader replied.
Zbershik is the second son born to Lorist and his concubine Elina, because the first second son, Lesket, was sent by Lorist to the Malek family for foster care, so this second son is still in Maple. Lin Shanzhuang, living beside his mother Elina. Lorist paid the least attention to this second son because he was traveling all year round. I heard that this second son resembled his mother, and his body was also like a small meatball. This year, he was almost eight years old. Lorist was preparing to To find a teacher for him, Irina did not expect to act first and recruited the resigned supervisor Hanske first.
Lorist was silent, and shook his head after a long time: "Forget it, it's going to rain, and mother and marriage can't be stopped, so let them go."
"But Your Highness, why did you forgive Supervisor Hanske's rudeness last time, and only let us drive him away? Now he violated your order again and did not return to the baron's territory to reflect, but instead accepted Mrs. Irina's offer. Is this not taking His Highness too seriously? I think His Highness should deprive him of his title and territory to punish him for his disrespect." Shi Huade expressed his dissatisfaction angrily.
Lorist laughed dumbfounded: "Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. In fact, Director Hanske deliberately wanted to annoy me last time. Even if he deprived him of his title and territory, he still didn't care. What he needs is fame, bluntly To be honest, compared with Shangyi’s reputation of loyalty, what’s the pity of a mere baronial territory and title? If Lescott inherits my position in the future, he will naturally be regarded as the family’s most loyal minister. At that time, it will not be rewarding for a baronial territory and baronetship... "
"Hehe..." Fatty Shi shook his head and laughed, "Your Highness, you always like to think of people so badly. In fact, Director Hanske is indeed a loyal minister of the Norton family, but his loyalty is not in place. .”
Lorist snorted a few times, then raised his head and asked Schward, "Is there any news about Tagle's return?"
Schwader replied: "Your Highness, I have received a letter from the Eagle. Mr. Tagle has set off to take a boat back to Hilovas Island, and he will be able to return to the Northland in about fifteen days. By the way, there is still a share here." The document record is about Master Leskett's performance at Nicole Academy. This happened last month. Because the level of emergency treatment was not marked, Volibear's receiving staff regarded him as a general concern record and put it in the file. , I only found out when I went to check…”
Lorist shook his head at Fatty Shi and smiled wryly as he took the documents: "Look, once Tagle left Volibear, everything went haywire, and the person in charge of taking over can't always tell what's important and what's not. …”
Fatty Shi laughed: "Your Highness, you are wrong to blame Tagle's deputy. The main reason for this situation is that some time ago, Director Speer wanted to summarize the family's financial report for this year. The urging of the investigation materials is relatively urgent, and there is no way for the person in charge to shift the focus of intelligence to the economic aspect."
Lorist nodded, looked down at the document, and anger soon appeared on his face.
With a sound of "Bang!", Lorist jumped up against the table: "It's unreasonable! Schwader, go and call Reddy over. Also, ask Genorio to bring over my riding whip."
"What's the matter? Your Highness." Fatty Shi became curious when he saw that Lorist was suddenly angry and Schward was also ordered to leave in a hurry.
"My family is unfortunate, you can see for yourself." Lorist sighed, handed the document to Fatty Shi, sat down despondently, picked up the fruit wine on the table and drank most of the bottle: "I am really a failure." father of…”
Lescott entered the Nicole Academy in the second half of last year, mainly to learn basic knowledge and traditional etiquette of the nobility, so that he has a certain degree of literary accomplishment. For the Norton family in the past, the cultivation of the younger generation of the family was in the charge of a special person in the remote family territory of Fenglin Villa. It is enough to have a rough knowledge of writing and ink, and understand some traditional etiquette of the nobles. The real emphasis is on personal force and fighting spirit practice cultivation. After all, at that time, force value was the most important guarantee of family inheritance.
With the return of Lorist, in order to solve the problem of the posthumous son left by his dead elder brother, Lorist changed the traditional way of cultivating the descendants of the family. It is stipulated that when they are twelve years old, they will enter Nicole Academy to learn basic cultural knowledge and noble traditional etiquette. Waiting until the age of fifteen to enter the Chenxi Academy to awaken fighting spirit and conduct knight training, abandoning the tradition of the family's special teaching, which is also for the purpose of increasing the knowledge and broadening the horizons of the younger generations of the family.
Because Nicole College adopts the boarding system to allow students to develop independent character and self-care ability, but also to let them get used to collective life, cultivate their sense of team and sense of honor, and understand the importance of unity.
After Lescott entered the Nicole Academy, he broke away from Mrs. Malek's discipline, just like a free bird. After getting acquainted with the living environment of Nicole Academy, Leskett's tyrannical nature couldn't be concealed. Within three months of the start of school, he got into fights several times, and faintly became the most feared person in his class. The young female teacher in charge of teaching couldn't suppress him at all, and after a limited number of punishments, he pointed his nose and scolded him. Lescott said that his father was the head of the Norton family, the Grand Duke of the Northland, waiting for him When I grow up, I will definitely kill this poor female teacher.
This incident caused a lot of trouble, and the female teacher complained to the dean of the college, Miss Teresty, crying. Miss Teresty talked to Lescott several times, but Leskett did the same thing to the face and the other to the back. Miss Teresty was always very polite and humbly accepting criticism, and turned around and remained the same. Now the female teacher can no longer care about his business, and has become a bully in the class that no one dares to mess with.
It's just that Lescott never expected that without Mrs. Malek's strict discipline, his father Lorist still sent people to pay attention to his growth. Volibear's intelligence investigators used his identity as a bystander to show his performance. After recording it and submitting it to Lorist, Lorist became more and more dissatisfied with his eldest son.
Miss Tresty rejected Lorist's marriage proposal because of her vows, and gave up her status as the mistress and duchess of the Norton family. The two daughters she and Lorist gave birth to did not bear the surname Norton, but Taking the surname of her adoptive mother Nicole, this made Lorist very angry, but there was nothing he could do about her.
Now their eldest daughter, Nicole Oligas, is eleven years old, and their youngest daughter, Nicole Frecia, is seven years old. The two girls are beautifully dressed and very cute. Under the guidance, become two very cute little ladies and princesses. Although Lorist didn't have time to often go to Nico Academy to accompany them, he often sent gifts there, and sometimes took them over to live with them for a period of time. He loved them very much. It wasn't until after Lorist married Princess Sylvia that Miss Teresty refused to let Lorist come to pick up the child.
The record document submitted by Schwader reported an incident that happened at Nicole Academy more than 20 days ago. On Lesket who skipped class. Lescott didn't know that these two elf-like girls were his half-sisters, and he somehow molested and molested the two girls with malicious intentions. Volibear was secretly watching Volibear's intelligence investigation When the officials couldn't stand Lesket's coercion and insult to the two little sisters and were about to intervene, the savior appeared.
The person who came was Herriles, brother Lorist's posthumous son. This year, Herriles is fifteen years old. According to the plan, he will enter Dawn Academy next year. For Nico Academy, Herriles is a quality A good student with excellent academic performance, just graduated. Just passing by the back garden, he stopped Leskett's rudeness when he saw it, and even reprimanded him, saving the two little girls.
No one expected that Lesket, who left with hatred, went back to the dormitory and hid the dagger on his body. While eating in the cafeteria at noon, he suddenly rushed to Heriles' side, drew out the dagger, hacked and stabbed, and couldn't reach him. Herriles, who was defending, was seriously injured immediately, and Lesket was subdued by several coaches. Miss Teresty, who came over after hearing the news, turned pale with anger, and ordered Lescott to be locked up. Lescott was still not convinced and cursed, vowing that when he became the head of the Norton family, he would not let anyone who offended him go, let everyone wait and see...
It was a scandal. Fortunately, Heriles was rescued. Miss Teresti was worried that the spread of this matter would affect the reputation of the Norton family, so she specially issued a silence order.
"Why hasn't this been reported?" Lorist was very angry.
Fatty Shi thought about it and replied: "Perhaps Miss Teresty is also thinking about how to punish Lescott who made a mistake. Because she was concerned about his identity, she couldn't make a decision right away, so she didn't report it for a long time. And this matter All your children and relatives are involved, and she is also worried that if you don't handle it well, people may suspect that she has malicious intentions or other intentions, and it is difficult for her to be in her position... "
"That's her academy, what are she worried about, if she doesn't even have this responsibility, she can be the head of the academy." Lorist stood up: "I believe that under Mrs. Malek's discipline, Lescott should be a regular Be well-behaved. Then I really want to know why he regarded himself as the young master of the Norton family after he came to the Nicole Academy. Who told him this? Hehe, he just kept talking about what will happen in the future, and he didn’t even think about it. He will not be allowed to sit in this seat."
Lorist walked around the study a few times: "I think maybe we should disqualify the Lesket family as the first heir..."
Fatty Shi was shocked and jumped up from the sofa: "Your Highness, please don't..."
Lorist was startled, and asked strangely, "Why?"
"Your Highness, you have to think about Anderbell." Fatty Shi said.
Anderbell is the legitimate son that Princess Sylvia gave birth to Lorist in January this year.
"What does this have to do with Anderbell?" Lorist was puzzled.
"Your Highness, you have now disqualified the first heir of the Lesket family. In the eyes of people with ulterior motives, you are preparing for the succession of Anderbell. The scandal and bad conduct in Leskett Before people know the truth, people who don't know the truth will easily suspect that you are partial to the legitimate son and break your promise. This will not only disturb the hearts of the family, but also affect the reputation of the family. If outsiders intervene in this matter, it will only Add more trouble to us. So, Your Highness, you can punish Lescott for his evil deeds this time, but you cannot deprive him of his qualifications as the first heir. We have plenty of time now, and some things can't be rushed, you can take your time …”
Lorist understood and nodded: "You're right, I'm a little anxious, these things can be decided after the children grow up..."
There was a knock on the door outside the study, and then the door was pushed open, and Reddy walked in with Schward and Genorio.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?" Reddy asked.
Lorist took the gorgeous horsewhip wrapped in gold thread brought by Genorio, bent it a few times in his hand, and pulled out two whips in the air, and then handed it to Reddy: "Take it, Go to Nicole Academy, hang up Lescott for me, and give me thirty lashes in front of all the students of the Academy, and I'll see my blood. No matter who stops me, I'll do it. Tell them it's I personally gave the order. There are still entangled ones, you can kill them on the spot!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Reddy took the whip, turned around and left.
Seeing that he was about to leave the study, Lorist stopped him again: "Wait a minute, Reddy. After you finish whipping him, send him to Maplewood Villa and tell Elina that Lesket doesn't have to go Niko Academy has started, do you understand?"
"Understood, Your Highness." Reddy replied.
When Schwader and Genorio also exited the study, and there were only two people left, Fatty Shi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you are depriving Leskett of his inheritance rights in disguise. What can I learn in Linshanzhuang? Without communication and knowledge, I can imagine what it will be like to grow up under Elina's love... "
"They asked for it." Lorist's eyes were as deep as an endless abyss: "I suddenly remembered a record report I read before. , Mrs. Malek has been visited frequently in the past four years. I thought it was a communication between friends of Malek and his wife, and I didn't care at all.
Now I understand that Malek, known as the Iron Mask, has few friends. Those who come to make friends are people with ulterior motives, and they affect Lesket's growth all the time. No wonder Lescott is still stubborn under Mrs. Malek's strict discipline, and even learned to do one thing in person..."
Fatty Shi frowned: "Your Highness, is it too arbitrary for you to think so? I also visited Baron Malek's house once."
"Hehe..." Lorist laughed, "You only go there once or twice a year, but some people visit three times in seven days. I used to think that Mrs. Malek was very popular with those ladies, but now I don’t think that’s the case, I believe that if Schwader goes to Volibear to investigate those old records, he will be able to find out soon.”
