"Harrison, do you know why Maester Sonny was dismissed?"
In the driving carriage, Colin asked.
Prince Harrison fell into deep thought, but after a while he frowned and shook his head and said, "Sorry teacher, I can't remember."
Colin nodded, and did not make things difficult for the other party. After all, Harrison was only eight years old five years ago, so he must not understand these political turmoil.
"I know! I know!" Princess Judy yelled loudly, looking eager to try, as if she was afraid that others would not see her.
"Okay, tell me." Colin smiled.
But Judy rolled her eyes and said with a sly smile: "Teacher, if I tell you why Bachelor Sonny was dismissed, will you tell me a story?"
Since Colin used "The Daughter of the Sea" to make the little girl cry last time, she thought that the other party would stop pestering her, but unexpectedly, Judy clings to Colin more and more, insisting that he continue to tell the story.
Colin could only nod his head: "OK."
Anyway, he still remembered a lot of Andersen's fairy tales, so it would be no problem to deal with a little girl.
Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately said as if showing off: "Because Bachelor Sonny tried to promote an agricultural reform when he was serving as the Minister of Agriculture, but this reform aroused opposition from many nobles, and it was not able to be implemented later. Maester Sonny has also been relieved of his post."
"What kind of agricultural reform?" Colin pressed.
Princess Judy was stumped immediately, her delicate little face was wrinkled together, she couldn't think of anything after thinking for a long time, she pouted and said, "It's reform anyway."
Of course, Ke Lin didn't expect the little girl to tell the content of the reform, but just had an attitude of giving it a try, and no miracle happened.
However, at this time, he felt more and more that the prime minister, Baron Heidegger, asked him to come to Winter Springs, it should be for the former Minister of Agriculture of the Empire—Bachelor Sonny.
Or to be more precise, it was for the agricultural reform plan that was rejected at the beginning.
Then, Colin must first figure out what kind of agricultural reform proposal Sonny Bachelor had proposed, and why it was rejected, and even lost his position as Minister of Agriculture.
Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car, and saw Bachelor Sonny riding a horse with Bachelor Dawn walking side by side, chatting happily.
Ke Lin found that the graduates of White Tower College seem to know each other, and they have a strong sense of identity with each other. This identity seems to surpass the friendship of classmates and rise to another level.
Just when Colin was thinking wildly, Judy's crisp voice pulled him back:
"Teacher! What you said, you want to tell me a story!"
Ke Lin could only smile and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story about "Snow White"!"
Hearing that Colin was going to tell a story, this time Prince Harrison didn’t find an excuse to run out like last time. I don’t know if he has heard the "Daughter of the Sea" relayed by Judy, and he began to feel that the teacher’s story is not so scary .
Even Vera looked away from the Book of Radiance and looked up at Colin, waiting for his story.
"A long time ago, a queen of a certain country gave birth to a girl in winter, her skin was as white as snow..."
Outside the carriage, Bachelor Dawn looked at the vicissitudes of the senior's face and the temples tainted by the wind and frost, and suddenly became a little embarrassed, saying:
"Bachelor Sonny, how have you been all these years?"
"It's not bad." Bachelor Sonny smiled lightly, "Planting fields and herding cattle, even if I spend my whole life like this, I don't have any reluctance."
Dawn stared at Sonny for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."
Sonny laughed out loud and didn't try to defend himself. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "I'm not like you. I'm in the prime of my life, and I've won the trust of my lord. I'm sure I can develop my ambitions in the northern border."
"What about you?" Dawn asked, staring into Sonny's eyes, "Are you willing to live in such a small place for the rest of your life and let your knowledge be buried?"
Maester Sonny didn't speak, and looked a little struggling.
Maester Dawn said again: "Did you know? It was the Prime Minister's suggestion that His Excellency Duke detour to Winter Spring this time."
"Your Excellency..." Maester Sonny's complexion changed, and his eyes became more complicated.
After a long while, he said coldly: "At the beginning, the Prime Minister firmly opposed my reform plan..."
"No, the Prime Minister just thinks that your plan is too radical, and some measures need to be removed, or step by step, using gentle and gradual means to make the imperial nobles accept your reforms."
"You don't understand." Bachelor Sonny showed a painful look on his face, "My reform plan is a whole system, either accept it completely or reject it completely, compromise and compromise will only create a freak that even I can't grasp Come."
Bachelor Dawn was silent, and suggested after a while, "Have you thought about going to the northern border?"
Maester Sonny showed hesitation. Of course he knew that the Duke and Duchess of St. Hilde definitely did not come to Winter Springs to visit his brother, Lord Granto.
A little baron has not yet so much charm.
Their goal can only be themselves.
"Your Excellency the Duke knows about my reform plan?" A surge of hope rose in Maester Sonny's heart.
Bachelor Dawn shook his head, and said, "No, His Excellency the Duke doesn't know yet. However, you can share your thoughts with the guardian of the northern border, Viscount Angelet."
Maester Sonny was keenly aware that Dawn suggested that he go to Colin instead of Vera. Obviously, the dominant position in this couple turned out to be the man with a lower status.
"But... but are you sure that my reform plan will not suffer the same in the north?" Maester Sonny was still hesitating.
Bachelor Dawn said in a deep voice: "You should know the current situation in the northern border, the war has just settled, the famine is raging, and the Duke of Saint Hilde and Viscount Angelet hold absolute authority!
Trust me, there's no better place than the North. If your reform plan cannot be implemented in the northern border, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. "
These words made Bachelor Sonny's eyes gradually firm. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay! I have a manor in the south of Winter Spring Town. I wonder if I can invite the Duke to come and rest?"
Maester Dawn smiled, nodded and said, "I'll help you to ask!"
…
"...the prince ordered that the queen be forced to wear red-hot iron shoes, and make her dance until she died, so that the wedding could go smoothly.
After Snow White and the prince got married, life was full of joy and happiness, and they have been happily together ever since. "
After Colin finished telling the story, he took the scented tea from Vera and drank it all in one gulp.
Princess Judy dragged her chin, her eyes sparkled with crystal light, and said longingly: "Wow! So happy! When will my prince appear?"
Hearing this, Colin was about to tease his female student, when he heard Bachelor Dawn's voice from outside the carriage: "My lord, my lord Viscount, Bachelor Sonny invites you to his manor for a short rest."
Colin's expression changed, and he immediately replied:
"Okay! Then interrupt!"
