Blackstone Code

"Actually... someone proposed to my mother."

The little earl's face was full of displeasure, "I know very well what these people are thinking, and I won't let them succeed."

There was a hint of murderous intent in his words as he spoke. He was really murderous.

If someone were to marry his mother now, although it would not affect his title, it would still be disgusting enough.

More importantly, if...if anything happens to him, the child born to that person and his mother will have the right to inherit the title.

There is no need to kill him, they just need to kidnap him and lock him in a place with no contact with the outside world. After a period of time without letting him show up, they can persuade the Privy Council to follow the relevant rules and re-select a suitable person to succeed him after seizing the title.

Even at that time, his mother had to actively cooperate with these people, because only in this way could he survive.

The current situation in Gefra is very tense. The struggle between nobles and nobles, and between nobles and royal families has emerged. There is likely to be several power reshuffles in the future.

In order to compete for more support and power, nobles will become unscrupulous, just like every time there is a major change in the past.

On weekdays, these strict self-disciplined gentlemen who are looked up to by the public will tear off their disguises at this time and transform into man-eating monsters.

Everything in society will become nourishment for them to fight against each other. Are they unwilling to participate?

Then it can only be swallowed!

But fortunately, there is now one more way to choose, and that is to leave.

"I can't do nothing and just watch them do some terrible things to take advantage of me and my mother, so I plan to let her settle here. At least it's safer than Gefra."

He looked at Lynch when he said this, as if waiting for an important answer.

Lynch nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Yes, this place is much safer than Gaevra. No one will harass her, and no one will influence you through her."

There was another smile on the little earl's face, "I knew you were the only one worth relying on."

What Lynch said is equivalent to a guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen to the little Earl's mother while she is in the Federation. In this way, whether the little Earl invests in the Federation or returns to Amelia or Gefra, You can all relax.

Mentally exhausted from the journey, Lynch bid farewell to the little earl and went to see his mother again.

"Did he say something to you?" Sitting on the sofa, the former countess poured some scented tea for Lynch, "This is the tea I brought from Gaevra, you should try it."

After Lin Qi nodded in greeting, he picked up the cup and smelled the aroma.

Gefra's scented tea is a real scented tea. The main raw materials are petals, fruits of some plants or things that can emit fragrance.

These things are mixed together, dried and preserved through some special techniques. When needed, put some of them in a kettle and boil them, and the fragrance will spread out.

I don’t know how smelly Gaevra used to be. People at that time were particularly fond of scented things, or they were unwilling to brush their teeth and had to make their mouths less smelly, which made them come up with this kind of... brewing perfume as a high-end drink.

Lynch took a sip. It didn't taste good. The herbal taste was not removed, and there was still some natural herbal taste.

This is a fishy smell, strictly speaking, but some Gaevra people, especially those who specialize in scented tea, believe that retaining a certain herbal taste can make the fragrance of scented tea closer to nature.

Some people have refuted this statement. If you want to pursue nature, you should add a handful of soil to the kettle.

But generally speaking, Gefra's scented tea craft has been developed for so many years and has almost been finalized.

In addition to this natural flavor, there is also a school of thought that adds fragrance, which is actually adding perfume. Who knows how they like this kind of thing.

"Great tea." Lynch put the cup back on the coffee table, not intending to touch it anymore.

After thinking about his words, Lynch paused for a moment before saying, "He talked about the current struggle between Gefra's aristocratic group and the royal family."

The former countess nodded, "Yes, maybe you don't have any news here yet."

The social circle of the former countess did not overlap with that of the young earl. She only associates with noble ladies.

Ladies never hide their thoughts too much, they say what they say.

People who have not attended these gatherings of ladies cannot imagine the "terrible" things they would talk about despite their glamorous appearance.

Like keeping a lover together and talking about some relatively private topics. When women are with women, the topics they chat about are much more open than men think.

Among these topics, there are naturally some things related to the recent changes in the situation in Gefra.

"There are some issues that are more acute now. I am a woman and I don't know much about these political things, but I know that if someone starts sharpening their knives, it must not be to protect themselves!"

Lynch raised his eyebrows and nodded, "A very wise opinion."

The former countess smiled and said, "What are you going to do with me next?"

Seeing the unresponsive expression on Lin Qi's face, she calmly moved her buttocks, sat next to Lin Qi, and casually pressed her hands on his legs.

Given her age, it was indeed a bit difficult. When the young earl said he hoped she could settle down in the Federation, she agreed immediately.

At least there is a bite of meat here, in Gefra?

There are so many people watching, and the current situation is so complicated. Who knows if anyone ingested poison.

On the contrary, on the Federation side, the environment is simpler.

The young earl thought that he still needed to spend some time, but he didn't expect that as soon as he proposed the idea, the former countess agreed.

There is no telling who took advantage of whom in what happened next.

The next day, Lynch took them around the port city, mainly to the business district.

The biggest difference between the Federal Commercial Center and the Gaevra Commercial Center is that there are people from all walks of life shopping here.

In some commercial areas in Gefra that specifically provide services to the royal family and nobles, civilians dressed in "simple" clothing are prohibited from entering. They tell everyone very bluntly that they do not serve civilians, even if they have money.

But in the Federation, as long as you can take out money from your pocket, no matter whether it is a man, a woman, an old man, a child, or a dog, he/she/it will definitely be the VIP of the entire store.

The intuitive effect of this kind of enthusiastic service is that everyone not only comes to inspect and study, but also buys a lot of things.

Many of them are unnecessary things that they will not even wear or use after buying them. It is just a simple impulse purchase.

Most people regret after making impulse purchases, but they don't, they have the money.

"The business atmosphere in the Federation is great, and their sales methods are also very clever. This is much better than Gaevra."

In the evening, when everyone sat together to discuss what they had seen today, the little earl gnawed on the beef ribs and talked about his inner thoughts.

"As soon as we walked in, many people gathered around us and provided professional services. We will do the same in our store in Gafra."

"Ten people come in, and as long as one of them pays, we can make money!"

Other nobles also nodded. What impressed them most today was the large list of various terms upon entering, and then some designers who looked very powerful personally explained some products to them.

It's amazing that they recognized the value of the product without having any intuitive understanding of the brand or the product.

In Gefra, after entering an unfamiliar luxury store, if you cannot indicate your aristocratic status, they will ask you out "politely and without hurting your self-esteem."

When compared, the differences become apparent.

In fact, the new generation of nobles does not care about the noble identity and status of the nobles as much as the old nobles. They only became nobles because of some unexpected events.

Talk to them about the tradition of the nobility, talk to them about the glory of the nobility?

It's like asking Lynch to understand these things. He can understand, but he can't put himself into it. He is not the creator of that era, nor is he an experiencer, and he doesn't have that much empathy.

The new aristocrats here are similar. Compared with the identity and social status of the aristocrats, after the old aristocrats kicked them out of the island and abolished the privileges of the aristocrats in the special zone, all they care about now is money!

If noble titles can be exchanged for money, they don't mind selling themselves for a good price.

A monster of power mixed with capital is growing. Everything was very cute when it was a child, such as a child. Now no one can detect the distortion and madness of this combination.

In the evening, Lynch took the noble men to a large nightclub, where there were some girls wearing inferior clothes dancing on the stage.

Their clothes were torn here or there and fell off their bodies easily.

Feeling the nightlife that was different from Gaevra, everyone was very happy.

In Gefra, escorting is a legal business, but in the Federation, escorting is illegal, but they have more methods and ways to play, which is an eye-opener for the noble gentlemen "from the countryside."

On the way back, the little earl was also a little excited, "The Federation is really great, everything is beyond my imagination. Why does our government always use stupid lies to deceive us when promoting the Federation?"

He had a little drink before he said such stupid words. If he hadn't drank, let alone drank too much, he wouldn't have thought this way.

Public opinion never speaks for the truth; it is just a tool in the hands of the rulers.

That's all!
