In his impression, Count Halley has always been the kind of person who remains calm even when the world falls.
But on this day, he saw that the master's face had turned blue and black.
"You said her name was Olivia?"
"yes."
"She said she was the daughter of an old friend?"
"Yes." The butler whispered, "It is said that he came for the young master."
Involuntary.
Count Halley's blood pressure rose.
It's normal that the housekeeper doesn't know Olivia.
Everyone in the Unther Empire knew that Beatrice had a younger sister, but few knew her name, and even fewer had seen her.
But who among those who know the inside story of the empire doesn’t know that little princess?
Excluding those members of the imperial party who are single-mindedly loyal to the emperor, everyone else would tremble at the sound of this name.
It is a rare existence. Once you provoke it, you will unlock a series of achievements such as [The Emperor's Murderous Intent], [The Princess' Murderous Intent], [The Empire's Shadow's Murderous Intent], etc.
To put it bluntly, if you provoke the eldest princess, due to her modesty as the future empress, she may not attack you immediately.
At most, I will be harsh on you after I take office.
But it would be a different matter if you provoke the second princess.
As we all know, there is no need for restrictions when it comes to acting on behalf of the Second Princess.
He came here this time to negotiate with the Lord of the White Tower, not to be beaten.
He felt like he was about to have a heart attack at the mere thought of possibly alarming the Emperor.
Harley took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, did you keep smiling at her when you were outside just now?"
"Yes, Patriarch. After all, she looks like she has an extraordinary family."
"She is more than extraordinary. She is the second princess in the legend." Harley turned to look at his son. "Go down and see what she did to make her angry."
Gregory was stunned.
He had tried to attract Beatrice's attention before, and he also had some hostility towards Prince Louis.
But he could swear on Meiji, the girl his father raised, that he had never provoked such a person.
"Father, I'll go down and ask what's going on."
Gregory said quietly.
"etc."
Halley added, "I'll go down with you."
The Kingdom of God is too far away, the Emperor is too close.
Although he called on the strongest person in the family this time, but... he was still afraid.
Get off the car this time.
Before Gregory could ask, Halley said with a smile on his face: "I wonder why the second princess came to visit?"
The imperial nobles and foreign guests passing by subconsciously corrected their attitudes.
When they saw the golden wild chrysanthemum family emblem, they were still wondering who dared to confront the Todd family, which was at its peak.
When I saw the childish look of this little girl, I was even more confused.
They had never seen the lady in social situations.
But when she heard Harley Todd tell her her identity with a smile and then went straight to her, she gasped.
Wow! It's the elusive Second Princess? !
The little swan said angrily, "No, I took two more steps to come here just to tell you something."
Harley waved his hand quickly: "You speak, I listen."
Going to die.
He had the impression that his son had indeed mentioned that he had some unrealistic ideas, but he did not do much to stop him.
There are so many young men from the empire who want to pursue the princess.
The eldest princess had always been dismissive, and he really didn't think there was anything about his own son that was worth targeting.
Only the little swan muttered in his heart: "Huoguo, ah Huoguo, I am just helping you vent your anger."
In her previous life, the princess had often let him participate in high-level affairs of the empire and even in education in order to cultivate Huoguo.
In this life, because of her interference, Louis has not yet entered St. Louis College.
Naturally, there would be little connection with Gregory Todd.
But in his previous life, Gregory Todd had given Huoguo a hard time many times.
After all, Louis represents Sister Wang, and slapping him in the face is slapping Sister Wang in the face.
But... he still did it, so that when Huoguo took off in the end, he immediately found an opportunity to send the Todd family on their way.
Among the people present today, most of those who are pursuing Sister Wang have some idea of what is going on.
Only Gregory Todd.
This guy probably has a urinal in his head, and he might really do something bad to the country.
So the look she gave Harley became even more unfriendly.
Harley's face was full of question marks.
Seeing that Harley still didn't understand the seriousness of the problem, Olivia sneered.
"Our respected Earl Halley seems to have not yet understood what a foolish thing your son has done."
"Before the princess welcomed Prince Louis back, he tried his best to get in front of her even though he knew that the princess had a fiancé."
"In St. Louis College, he also told the future pillars of the empire that the dragon horn Louis brought back was a fake."
"Those who know him think he is just blinded by jealousy, while those who don't think he is saying that our royal family is lying!"
"Or do Argyle and Bute feel that they can stand up straight again after all these years?"
After the little swan finished speaking, she made an elegant skirt-lifting gesture and said:
"I came here today to tell you that I will pretend that I didn't see what happened before."
"But what if your son deliberately causes trouble at the engagement party of the princess?"
Her eyes gradually became indifferent:
"Then please ask Lord Harley to give birth to another heir."
There was no mercy at all, only cold reprimand.
Harley shuddered subconsciously.
My back was covered in cold sweat.
Wasn't there a rumor that the second princess had been sleeping for many years and had a naive and romantic personality? How come she looked like a beast that would devour anyone she saw? But he was sure of it.
This second princess is not joking.
She really was issuing this warning on the premise of killing her own son.
This barrage of punches knocked him unconscious.
I could only blush and repeatedly emphasize: "How could it be!"
"The Todd family didn't mean that."
"I will take good care of my stupid son and never let him cause any trouble."
Harley was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
He hated the Second Princess for showing him no mercy, but he hated his foolish son even more for taking himself too seriously.
What’s even worse is that when he wanted to find someone to talk things out, he suddenly realized that everything the Second Princess said made sense.
If you don’t know, you might think that he was instigating his children to flatter the royal family!
Although he indulged his son at that time and had some unnecessary thoughts, it was not really to flatter others.
He couldn't say this openly.
You can't say that he was thinking about helping his son just in case there was a chance that he could marry into a rich family.
Then he would have the opportunity to use his backup plan, break away from the control of Argyle and Bute, and directly take away a considerable part of their foundation.
Being someone else's dog is not as comfortable as being your own master.
But he couldn't say it.
So he could only turn pale and blue, which made Gregory tremble beside him.
The last time he saw his father so angry, he almost had his legs broken.
But in addition to being terrified, he also felt resentment in his heart.
“Why?!”
Around his neck, the necklace given by his uncle flickered slightly.
His eyes gradually turned red and his teeth clenched and made a squeaking sound.
"I do not understand."
