【Location: Office of the Lord Chancellor】

Beatrice put down the parchment in her hand and frowned.

"Are there dungeon monsters in the outer city ruins?"

Louis nodded: "Someone has found traces of treasure chest monster activities, so I plan to investigate with Alice and the others."

Beatrice narrowed her eyes and tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingertips:

"Olivia has also noticed this news. She is considering whether to go to the outer city ruins to take a look."

Louis smiled and said, "Then let's go together. It won't be too dangerous anyway."

——The main thing is that if we go with the little swan, the danger will be almost zero.

There was no way the head maid would let Olivia go out alone.

"Then I'll trouble you to take care of her. Olivia is a little naughty, but it's not her problem."

Beatrice sighed, "If it weren't for the curse that made it almost impossible for her to stay awake, she would be able to handle things on her own by now."

Louis nodded.

Beatrice added, "However, since she wants to go, then according to custom, I will send a few more Dark Crows to go with you."

The corner of Louis' mouth twitched slightly.

You are worthy of it.

A head maid who has one foot halfway into legend.

A model Iron Guard.

A sword that can be compared to a model-level Heavenly Punishment Sword when it goes crazy.

A military sword capable of unleashing paragon-level magic.

Plus a mascot.

If you throw this on the ground, there will be a lot of killing.

The little swan is responsible for quacking, while Louis and the others are responsible for killing indiscriminately.

In the Ganges! As a result, Beatrice had to be more cautious, with a kind of beauty of fear of insufficient firepower.

This matter was settled during the casual chat.

After chatting for a while, Louis was about to get up and leave when the door of the room suddenly opened and the lady-in-waiting walked in.

After seeing Louis, she nodded, then turned to look at Beatrice:

"Your Highness, the items have been counted and are waiting for your signature."

Louis glanced outside the door and saw a pile of wooden boxes outside the office of the Chancellor of the Privy Seal.

There were also staff from the City Lord's Mansion constantly moving things over.

Louis thought they were office supplies, but after a closer look, they seemed wrong.

The boxes that the staff opened contained many gorgeous costumes, as well as utensils, clothes and other things.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly found a cold-faced female official approaching him. After a cursory look through her fingers, she looked at Beatrice and said, "Your Highness, the things have arrived. It's time to make arrangements for Lord Louis."

"ah?"

Louis was a little confused and didn't understand what this had to do with him.

Beatrice nodded, and the lady-in-waiting walked out.

After a while, she came in with a set of clothes and clapped her hands.

Two maids with exquisite makeup came in and pounced on Louis like wolves and tigers, but when they touched him, their hands and feet were much gentler.

Beatrice laughed and said, "Don't touch our prince's tail. It belongs to me."

"yes!"

Beatrice walked forward and the lady-in-waiting handed her a comb.

She walked around and came behind Louis to help him comb his hair.

The movement was so gentle that it reminded him of the first time he wore a red scarf to attend the flag-raising ceremony in elementary school, when his mother sprayed him with styling spray and combed his hair into the look of a little adult.

The two maids quickly changed several sets of clothes and finally confirmed the right size.

Beatrice pinched Louis' face and smiled happily: "Just prepare the dress according to this size."

Louis suddenly realized: "About the engagement party?"

He was not very interested in these things, so he left it all to Beatrice to arrange.

So much so that he had no idea that the ball had been prepared to this extent.

——After all, he had tried his best to avoid being executed and save his first wife.

Seeing that Louis was rarely curious about her work, Beatrice said a few more words.

Simply put, when a royal family member gets engaged, it's not as simple as just holding a ball.

Just look at Louis.

An internal notice must be sent first, and then the royal family will award Louis an honor and put the relevant treatment on the agenda.

After confirming the specific time, the news was officially released to the noble circle and even the surrounding countries several weeks in advance.

This is the result of Enser's effective action.

For the nobles of the empire, this ball is not only an excellent place for communication and cooperation, but also a rare blind date ceremony.

"So we have to give them some time to prepare. After all, the higher the level of the nobles, the more difficult it is to find a suitable partner."

Beatrice blinked. "After all, they don't want the royal family to misunderstand that they want to follow the Duke of Argyll's marriage."

"ah?"

Louis was stunned: "What marriage?"

"I thought someone told you about the Argylls."

Beatrice looked helpless.

When she saw Louis directly using the incident of the Duke of Argyll's family to intimidate the two legendary dragons, she thought he knew about it.

I never thought Louis was just making it up.

It’s a wonder he can scare two dragons.

Beatrice had no idea that when Louis spoke, he was talking about the emperor, but he was thinking about the Han chess master.

This may be nonsense to others, but to him, it is real history.

Naturally, there is no thought of being exposed.

It was also at this time that Louis learned that similar things had indeed happened in the empire in the past.

The reason was that the Duke of Argyll tried to marry his son to the daughter of another duke, with the implicit intention of destabilizing the royal family.

Then the Duke of Argyll and his son, like the eunuch author—

There is nothing below.

Later, the emperor began to use the Argyle family's inheritance to promote the emerging aristocracy.

By the time of Beatrice, the emerging nobility had begun to rise and became Beatrice's staunch supporters.

"There will be many emerging nobles attending this banquet, and the Marquis of York will bring them in."

"So I have to do my best to show them how good the people I choose are."

No wonder Beatrice looked so interested.

It was rare for domestic nobles to gather together, and Louis didn't want to ruin her reputation.

After a moment, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He whispered:

"Why is it Lord York who is leading the new nobles into the arena?"

Beatrice smiled and said, "It takes time for a noble to grow."

“Although there are many talented people among the new nobles, it takes the joint efforts of several generations to make it possible for the title to go further.”

"Most of their titles are significantly different from those of the old nobles."

"Whether it is for their own needs or the needs of the royal family, they need an old noble who is willing to support them and has the confidence to stand up for them."

"The Marquis of York is the most suitable one."

Louis understood.

Isn’t this the reason why there are usually bigwigs from the provincial online writers’ association involved in the construction?

It not only protects your own rights and interests, but also facilitates communication with superiors.

He couldn't help but sigh: "The Marquis of York is very popular."

Director Snow will finally tell the truth about those things, and the Marquis of York has been a great help.

He subconsciously asked, "What did the Marquis of York do before he became the mayor of Tino to make him worthy of their trust?"

Beatrice said: "I remember that I was in charge of the empire's grain storage, transportation and grain distribution."

"He was the one who solved regional food shortages several times, and his reputation is still well-known in many places today."

"Several industry leaders among the emerging aristocracy benefited from him in their early years."

"So they feel at ease that only he can sit in this position."

Louis understood.

The next moment, his expression froze.

A chill ran down my spine and throughout my body, and goose bumps appeared.

"He's doing food storage?"
