Chapter 198 Family Dinner at Swan Castle (23)
Swan Castle.
The magic exchange conference ended successfully, and the amount of government affairs was greatly reduced, so there was no need for the clone and the main body to work together.
Taking advantage of the time to relax, Rosen held a small family dinner in the restaurant in the inner courtyard of Swan Castle.
In addition to the Rosen family, there were also mentors, Count Robert and his wife, and Princess Alice at the banquet.
Because the south is much richer than the north, Swan Castle is much more exquisite than the count's Maple Leaf Castle, and the restaurant in the castle that entertains guests is even more magnificent.
After Rosen designated it as the Duke's residence, it has undergone various new magic achievements and safety transformations. It is currently much more gorgeous than the Dawn Castle.
Because it is too gorgeous, Count Robert is a little restrained.
During the dinner, Rosen and Selena sat in the main seat, with Mrs. Saxon and her sister Evelyn on the left, and Count Robert's family on the right.
This is a family dinner, so there are no strict rules. Everyone talked and laughed at the table, and the atmosphere was relaxed and active.
Halfway through the banquet, Count Robert asked: "Duke, I heard that you plan to divide the public and private properties of the nobles?"
At this time, Count Robert had completely lost his former reserve. When facing Rosen, he seemed cautious and even humble.
Rosen was not surprised that the Count was well-informed. After all, he was now being watched by millions of eyes. If there was any disturbance, the whole city would know it in an instant.
He did not hide it: "Yes, but it has nothing to do with the northern nobles, because you have already clearly divided public and private. It is mainly aimed at me, the Duke."
The Count was relieved, but he was also very confused: "Duke, your control of Weilan is not reasonable and legal, right? Which blind guy actually brought this up?"
There was something else he didn't say, because he didn't understand Rosen's approach even more.
Other kings and dukes hated that their power was too small and tried every means to fight for power. This duke was good, limiting his own power?
Of course Rosen could hear his hidden meaning. In fact, his wife Selena didn't quite understand it. She was even a little dissatisfied with the wizard Ruifa who brought up this matter, thinking that this guy was too nosy.
Not to mention Selena, many people in the Weilan government and the people were unhappy.
The government officials were unhappy because they realized that Ruifa would come to touch their cakes and their lives would be difficult in the future.
The people were unhappy, partly because they were secretly guided by government officials, and partly because of pure emotional output.
They felt that this wizard Aaron was really nosy. The people of Weilan liked to let the Duke manage them. You, Aaron, are not a good person. You went to Weilan to point fingers at the Duke. You must have bad intentions.
Rosen knew that this matter must be unified, otherwise the inspection work of Master Ruifa would not be done at all.
The first step to unify the thoughts is to unify the thoughts of your own family.
A harmonious family is the root of everything.
He took a sip of wine and said, "Actually, I proposed it myself, in order to keep up with the trend of the times."
"I have been in charge of Weilan for nearly a year, and I clearly feel that many thoughts have emerged among the people to limit the power of the king and the duke, not only in Weilan, but also in the Natural Alliance."
"Of course, it is still a minority now, but the voice is growing little by little."
"Since there is this trend, it should not be ignored. Otherwise, when the trend increases to a certain extent, it will have its own will, and we will naturally stand on the opposite side of this voice."
The wind has already started from the tip of the green duckweed. If you wait until the breeze turns into a storm before taking any action, you are a complete fool.
"When that time comes, we will either be forced to change or fight against the tide of the times, and finally let Weilan be shattered in the fight against the tide."
"I don't want this to happen, so I plan to guide this trend myself, thoroughly improve Weilan, and make our Weilan the most fair country in the entire natural alliance system, the most honest officials, and the richest people."
Earl Robert still didn't understand: "When that time comes, it won't be too late to change."
The Countess had a very good impression of Rosen and admired him very much. Upon hearing this, she said: "Grant, don't use your short-sighted views to instruct the Duke."
Earl Robert felt that his self-esteem was damaged, and said with a wronged face: "Madam, I am also concerned."
Rosen waved his hand: "Madam, the truth will become clearer the more you talk, so you should speak openly. It is not good to hide it in your heart."
Hearing what he said, Selena also spoke openly.
"My dear, doing this will greatly reduce the status of the Duke of Dawn in Veran."
Rosen nodded: "It will indeed reduce it, but it is a way to truly preserve the glory of the Adrian family forever."
After a pause, he said: "To be honest, I learned this trick from Mother Nature."
"Ah?" Selena was stunned.
Rosen looked around at everyone: "More than a thousand years ago, the Natural Alliance was a combination of politics and religion, and the Temple of Nature also had great authority in the world. The Temple could easily depose and enthrone the king through oracles."
"The result is that the king and the Temple often erupted in confrontation, the two sides always fought non-stop, the development of the alliance stagnated, and it was about to be crushed by the Glorious Empire."
"After Mother Nature took office, she immediately changed this point. The Temple gradually withdrew from worldly power. As a result, the belief in the God of Nature gradually took root in the hearts of the people and lasted for a thousand years, and the Natural Alliance also made great progress."
"Now, the nobles are standing in the position of the Temple of Nature at the beginning, and it is time to withdraw from the stage of history."
"If you don't retreat, the tide of the times will violently clear you out, and by then, there won't be any glory left."
Selena was a reasonable woman, and she understood.
She sighed with some disappointment: "Well, it seems that our children can only bear the empty title of the Duke of Dawn."
Rosen smiled: "Dear, they will never lack money to spend, nor will they lack a good house to live in. As long as they don't do anything ridiculous, they will always enjoy a high reputation among the people."
"In addition, if the children are capable, they can easily gain power with the reputation of the Duke. If they are not capable, then it is better to be honest and peaceful, isn't it?"
Selena immediately thought of her brother, nodded in agreement, and felt much happier.
Seeing that she had thought it through, Rosen was relieved.
According to his system design, there would be no problem for at least four or five generations. After four or five generations, the children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, and he would be too lazy to care about it.
So what did Rosen himself get in this process?
He got a lot.
The new era of high-level knowledge created by a large amount of resources, the infinite power gained by guiding the torrent of the times, and the wonderful taste of enjoying infinite power.
Anyway, he must be extremely free and easy in this life.
At this time, Princess Alice suddenly said: "Duke, can I call you brother?"
Rosen nodded: "Of course."
He thought this innocent, youthful and beautiful princess was quite interesting.
"Brother Rosen, I heard that you are going to build many food factories in Weilan?"
"That's right."
"Are there any food factories that produce special foods?"
Rosen shook his head: "No."
"The government-run food factories are used to meet the daily food needs of Weilan citizens. As for the pursuit of higher tastes, that is the business of various private food factories."
"If Sister Alice has any needs, she can apply to the Department of Magic for a conversion array, and let the mentor give it to you directly."
The mentor smiled and said, "Duke, since you said so, I will give you the best conversion array."
Rosen smiled and said, "No problem, I still have this autonomy."
He knew that the mentor said this to the earl, and of course he would not give the best, but the best for civilian use.
Alice's eyes lit up immediately, and she turned to the earl and said, "Father, let's open a fish factory? I have mastered more than a dozen delicious fish recipes."
The earl thought it was really amazing. After all the twists and turns, he actually opened a large-scale food factory.
The Robert family did need more pillar industries. He also knew that his daughter had great interest in extraordinary food making and had quite good talent, so he nodded: "Since you like it, let's open it."
Alice was immediately overjoyed, as if her whole body was glowing.
Compared to her liveliness, Rosen's sister Evelyn seemed much quieter. It was not that she was introverted, but that this sister was completely fascinated by the magic. As she studied, she turned herself into a "nerd".
In this regard, Rosen had nothing to say, just try his best to teach.
After the family dinner, Alice did not forget Rosen's promise in Ruhr County, and immediately said: "Brother Rosen, don't forget, you still have to guide me in my magic practice."
The Countess immediately rebuked: "Alice, the Duke is very busy, don't bother him."
The little princess immediately pouted and said unhappy: "But Brother Rosen and I agreed."
The mentor immediately came to the rescue: "Rosen, you must do what you say, why not fulfill your promise now, so that Alice won't keep thinking about it."
In this case, Rosen could only agree: "Let's do this, dear, mentor, and Alice, go to my practice room together."
"I have recently understood some secret methods of practice, and it's just right to guide them together."
With his hard work and guidance, Selena and the mentor's mana strength has approached the peak of the fourth ring.
Alice's mana has also reached the middle and late stages of the second ring.
He just happened to try the secret method tonight to help the three women break through the current ring wall directly.
Of course, the main thing is to break through Selena and the mentor to the fifth ring, because he plans to go to Levender and may be away for one or two months.
Let the two people's strength break through to the fifth ring, and wear high-ring magic tools, which can greatly increase the self-protection ability of the two women.
As a result, Selena shook her head and whispered to Rosen in her mind: "Dear, you go, my chest is very swollen, and I have to feed the two little naughty ones."
The two little guys have not been weaned yet, and Selena's milk is particularly abundant. The two children can't finish it, and occasionally Rosen, the father, needs help.
In this case, three people will go.
As a result, just after walking a few steps, the mentor was stopped by Count Robert: "Sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time. It's just right to go to the warm hall to have a good chat. Anyway, the Duke won't be there for long."
Rosen was startled and immediately contacted the mentor in a secret voice: "Mentor, this is not very convenient."
Alice is almost 17 years old, a big girl, and has developed very well. Staying alone in the secret room with him will ruin her reputation.
The tutor obviously thought so too. She looked at her brother, but he didn't care at all. Then she looked at her sister-in-law, but she didn't care either.
She immediately understood her brother and sister-in-law's intentions, so she contacted Rosen in secret: "It seems that my brother intends to give his daughter to you as a lover."
Rosen was a little confused: "Teacher, I personally think this is a bad thing."
The mentor spread his hands secretly: "I think so too, but since it is the eldest brother and sister-in-law's intention, I can't interfere. It depends on whether you accept it or not."
Rosen glanced at Alice, the little girl seemed still ignorant, and then looked at the mentor.
"Mentor, I understand the earl's idea. Why don't you tell the earl about our relationship, he should give up this ridiculous idea."
The mentor immediately glared at Rosen secretly: "How can I say this?!"
She was so ridiculous in secret that she couldn't make it public.
Rosen was immediately under pressure.
This is naturally the benefit of power, but this benefit is a bit too much, even a gentleman like him can't bear it.
Alice was impatient and urged: "Let's go, brother Rosen, I have been waiting for this day."
Finally, Rosen made a decision: "Mentor, I have some practice skills that need your cooperation, so you can't leave."
Since this is the case, although the earl was secretly disappointed, he had nothing to say.
So, Rosen, the mentor and Alice went to the underground practice room together.
On the way, the teacher whispered to Rosen: "I thought you also had feelings for Alice."
Rosen whispered back: "Teacher, it is normal men's nature to appreciate beautiful girls, but if Alice becomes my lover, how can we get along?"
The teacher's cheeks blushed: "Rosen, just pretend nothing happened and get along as you should. You have many girls, so this one won't hurt."
Rosen immediately said: "Teacher, you are an incompetent aunt. People hope that their nieces will live a happy life, but you hope that your niece will be the lover of your lover."
The teacher smiled: "I don't hope, but I don't care. After all, everyone has their own destiny. As long as it is not the road to destruction, there is no need for me, as an aunt, to meddle in other people's business."
As soon as she finished speaking, Alice's voice suddenly rang out in the underground corridor: "Aunt, are you and Brother Rosen together?"
