Chapter 620 Giles' Messenger
Sir Wendell smiled and tilted his head slightly towards the corner.
“Perhaps we should find a place where there are few people to communicate.”
Paul hesitated for a moment, nodded, and followed Sir Wendell to the corner.
The two clinked glasses and each took a sip.
"How enviable!"
Sir Wendell touched his mustache and complimented: "Her Royal Highness Catherine is a rare beauty. I think you, Earl, have become the public enemy of more than half of the bright boys. "
"But..." There was a look of doubt on his face again.
“But what?” Paul asked.
"Uh...it's nothing! I think your Earl's ability can easily handle those little things!"
Wendell smiled.
“Little things?”
What exactly did he want to say?
Paul frowned slightly, "Sir Wendell, can you tell me these little things?"
"Oh, okay!"
Sir Wendell sighed slightly and said with some embarrassment: "I heard that the relationship between our King and his sister, Princess Catherine... is a bit embarrassing!"
What? Paul's heart became alarmed.
Could they...
"Jingyao has always had rumors that the old king originally wanted to pass the throne to his daughter - His Royal Highness Princess Catherine."
Sir Wendell approached Paul and explained in a small voice.
"You know, our Highness the Princess is not inferior to men at all. She can handle government affairs and military affairs very well. She even fought against Archduke Giles on the battlefield before."
< br>"So it's normal for the old king to have this idea. But..."
"Later, I don't know why the throne still fell into the hands of the current King."
"Alas! With such a powerful sister, His Majesty the King must have some grudges in his heart..."
Sir Wendell revealed the secret seemingly casually.
"Ha, don't take it to heart. These are actually rumors that have disappeared. In short, congratulations on picking the pearl of the kingdom in your hands."
Phew! Paul breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was what Wendell wanted to say.
Seeing Paul's reaction, Wendell felt a little strange, why did Paul Graiman look so relaxed?
Knowing that you are already involved in a struggle for the highest power, you should at least be afraid, right?
"Sir Wendell!"
Paul smiled and said: "Thank you for telling me these things. I will... take a closer look! But I believe that everyone hopes that this country will develop in a good direction. Am I right?" < br>
“Haha, you are right!”
Sir Wendell said slightly awkwardly, after all, he was sent by a lord who started a rebellion not long ago.
Seeing that his words did not have the expected effect, he changed the topic.
“Archduke Giles has always been very fond of all kinds of exquisite things from the northwest bay!”
"Oh, the paper you make is so convenient! And those exquisite porcelains have become standard decorations in noble mansions."
Paul raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with him For a moment.
“This is our honor, and we will continue to serve our distinguished guests with 200% enthusiasm.”
Wendel took a sip and said: “We The Grand Duke, Your Excellency Giles, has always hoped to make friends with you and forge a sincere friendship!"
Paul looked surprised: "Oh? My little misfortune has actually spread to you! Did Archduke Giles get hit in the ear?”
"Oh ho ho ho!" Wendell laughed, "The merchant ships in your territory have almost filled our port. See those strange merchant ships that can move freely on the sea without oars and oarsmen. , anyone will be interested in the owner behind them."
"I am very happy that our business is so close."
Wendell looked at him with a faint look, "In fact, we are. It can also be closer, not just in business."
"Ahem!" Paul cleared his throat gently, "Of course, this is what it should be, after all... we are all Orr. Many lords, aren't they?" Paul said with emphasis on Aldo.
Wendell smiled and raised the cup gently.
"Nice to meet you, Count Grayman!"
He knew that some things should not be rushed.
"Nice to meet you too, Sir Wendell!"
Paul and he drank the wine from their respective glasses.
——
“What did Giles’ people say to you?”
To Paul’s surprise, Catherine actually came to him.
“Uh, some polite words!”
Paul replied with a relaxed look.
"He said that the people there like things from the Northwest Gulf and hope to continue to strengthen trade."
"Huh!" Catherine seemed a little angry when Giles was mentioned.
She said with some hatred: "That is a great shame in my life!"
"What?"
"He started a rebellion, but I He actually allowed that guy to still be at large, but he was helpless.”
This is the same as what Paul knew. When Catherine led the army to counter the rebellion in the south, it seemed that her victory was not very complete. It could even be said that Giles won the victory.
After all, the lords in that land are all his people.
"Perhaps...you can make your life easier..."
Although the beauty's frown was very nice, Paul thought it would be better to comfort her.
“Have an easy life? I really want to!”
Catherine shook her head, her expression a bit sad and painful.
She slowly lowered her head again.
"Perhaps, when I get to the Northwest Gulf, I will live that kind of life."
With no army to train and no government affairs to deal with, I can only be an ordinary noble woman. .
On weekdays, I plant some flowers and grass, mow the flower lawn, have afternoon tea parties with other aristocratic women, and occasionally go to watch theater performances together.
This kind of day seems to be quite pleasant.
"It's a beautiful place." Paul said with a smile, "I think you will like the Northwest Bay."
Catherine looked at Paul with mixed feelings in her heart.
No matter what, the man in front of me is the man with whom I will spend my whole life.
"Ge...Paul."
She whispered Paul's name.
“Oh, Your Highness.”
“Just call me Catherine from now on.”
“Okay, Your Highness.”
“You should be able to Will you stay in Jingyao for a while?”
Hearing Catherine's question, Paul nodded, "Yes, this is the first time I have left the Northwest Bay so far, and I want to know more about the outside world."
A blush appeared on Catherine's face, " Then... I hope we can see each other more often in the future."
Hehe, this is the first time Paul has seen such a cute expression on the uniformed princess.
"I hope so too, Your Highness."
"I told you..."
"Catherine!"
