Habsburg owns a magnificent castle near a small lake in the northwest of Silver Wing City. There are not many members of the Habsburg family in the Viscount's territory, only a dozen or so.

These dozen members are all knights without exception.

The Habsburg family was once a royal family, but after the fall of their country, they drifted to the countryside and became a family of aristocratic descendants, making a living by doing business.

However, family members never forget their former royal identity, so all male members of the family are knights, all for the purpose of gathering strength to restore the country.

Of course, this seemed totally impossible to accomplish. What were a dozen knights?

No matter what, this is the insistence of the Habsburg family members. And the business activities of the Habsburg family will be handed over to their wives or daughters to run.

The person in charge of the Habsburg family at present is Miss Alice’s grandmother, Mrs. Smith.

Mrs. Smith is a member of the Silver Wing Viscount family and has a close blood relationship with the current Silver Wing Viscount. Since she took over the Habsburg family, the Habsburg family's business has been thriving.

In terms of influence and wealth, they surpass the Morgan family.

By the way, these two families are sometimes allies in business and sometimes enemies. They are forces that are both friends and enemies.

So Alice and Miss Amanda have a little problem with each other.

On a sunny afternoon, Alice arrived at the castle in her own carriage under the protection of her family guards.

The light reflecting off the shimmering lake makes the castle look like a dream.

The castle theme has five floors and covers a very large area. It is surrounded by buildings and walls. There are guards, knights, male and female servants, just like a small city.

The Habsburg family has a close relationship with the Viscount Silverwing family, but they are not a family of knights serving Viscount Silverwing. All weapons here are private property of the Habsburg family.

This situation was very common in the Kingdom of Prussia, where powerful businessmen all had their own armed forces.

Alice and her group easily passed the guards' check outside the castle and came to the main room inside the castle. Alice got off the showy golden carriage and a team of male servants came up.

Alice ordered, "Gilma, make my golden carriage shine. If that doesn't work, polish it. It's all dull."

"Yes, Miss Alice." A servant said humbly.

"Where's my grandmother?" Alice asked.

"Mrs. Smith is in her bedroom on the second floor," the butler replied.

Alice nodded, told the servants to take care of the knights who were traveling with her, and then entered the castle.

The coat of arms of the Habsburg family is hung on the wall of the castle hall. Two tigers are holding a crown on the left and right, symbolizing royal power.

On the right side of the coat of arms is an oil painting of the first generation leader of the Habsburg family, King Habsburg.

Every time a member of the Habsburg family came here, they would salute King Habsburg, but Alice was obviously not interested in this. She curled her lips, walked up the stairs and came to Mrs. Smith's bedroom.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Smith was putting on makeup with the help of two maids. She was over sixty years old, but she was very well maintained. With the help of makeup, she looked like a beautiful woman in her forties.

She is an elegant lady.

"Oh, my dear Alice, you finally remembered your grandmother." Mrs. Smith waved her hand, asked the two maids to go down, and then said in a tone of pretending to be resentful.

Alice spent most of the year in the Viscountry, staying with Mrs. Smith. This time she went to Kaiyue City for a little too long to do business.

Mrs. Smith was not used to it.

"Okay, I believe you." Mrs. Smith narrowed her eyes with joy and patted the back of Alice's hand.

The two had another intimate conversation, and then Mrs. Smith asked, "What is it that keeps you hanging around in Kaiyue City for so long? Is it a handsome and good-looking young man?"

"No way." Alice immediately shook her head to deny it, but soon she had no choice but to talk about a great guy.

"Grandma, do you know the Pompeii family?"

"Is it the family that wiped out the Autumn Wind Bandits entrenched in the Blackwater Mountains not long ago? To be honest, they helped us a lot and saved our Habsburg family a lot of protection fees."

Mrs. Smith thought about it and thanked him.

The Habsburg family is a family with certain military power, but it is obviously not comparable to Baron Barton and Viscount Eagle Wing. The two great nobles are helpless against the Autumn Wind Thieves, let alone the Habsburg family.

Therefore, the family paid a portion of protection fees to the Qiufeng Thieves Gang every year so that business activities could be carried out normally.

From this perspective, Luther is kind to some of the surrounding families.

"Could it be the next generation of knights of the Pompeii family, Luther, Mr. Pompeii? Rumor has it that he is a powerful knight who can kill monsters. Not bad. You should also find someone to have a good relationship with."

Mrs. Smith's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Alice with loving and distressed eyes.

Many people will not believe it, but Miss Alice Barton, who is known for her promiscuous life, has never had a serious relationship.

Never owned a man.

Although many men were jealous of Alice and even fought with her.

Alice smiled and said, "That guy is really good, and there is no pressure to get along with him. But what I want to talk about is not the man, but the future of the Pompeii family."

Mrs. Smith's eyes lit up even brighter. She rarely heard her granddaughter say this about a man.

not bad.

She was about to ask more, but seeing Alice's serious expression, Mrs. Smith couldn't help but stop, and then asked: "What about the future of the Pompeii family?"

Mrs. Smith nodded again and said, “Judging from the current actions of the Pompeii family, this family’s upward momentum is obvious, and their ambitions are sufficient.”

"This family wants to build a metropolis. Currently, I, the Morgan family, the Pompeii family, and six other small families have participated in the Pompeii family's early plan, a resort hotel, oh no, it's called a holiday resort."

Alice told Mrs. Smith everything that had happened recently.

"Grandma, I've invested all my money and am planning to have a great time. You must use your connections to help me promote it."

After saying this, Alice acted coquettishly and cutely.

If a man's bones are brittle.

Even Mrs. Smith was a little giddy.

The great baron's eldest daughter possesses a charm that attracts both men and women.
