Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

This discovery made the old count realize that he could no longer treat his granddaughter the same as before.

This is an easy misconception.

It is very easy for the head of a family to control the fate of a young girl.

Long-term habits may have a certain impact on his thinking.

But the reality is that the person is still the same person, but different.

The granddaughter of an earl and the wife of a duke. How can the status and identity of the two be treated the same?

The old earl instantly adjusted his mentality and stated his intention straight to the point: "I'm here for Derek's brother Sharif. I heard that he is not engaged yet?"

"Yes, I have been looking for a suitable noble girl for him recently, and Derek is also very concerned about this matter." Tiona seemed to be innocently revealing a lot of information.

Looking for the noble girl, Derek pays attention.

The old earl immediately grasped the key point and narrowed his eyes habitually.

"There are many suitable young people in the family. Of course, we give priority to family members in this matter." The old earl calmly pulled the strings and suddenly changed the topic: "After all, you don't know the bottom line as an outsider. How can you be as familiar with it as your own family members?" If anything happens, my family is more trustworthy."

He implicitly expressed that the noble daughter of the Perez family would definitely support him as a duchess.

Although the Duke and Duchess have a good relationship, there is no emotional crisis for the time being.

But this kind of thing must be prepared for a rainy day. It is of course important to have more important supporters.

If Sharif's wife really supports the duchess, she will at least be able to influence Sharif, which is a very important supporter.

Tiona understood, but there was no change on the surface. She just agreed innocently: "Of course, I will give priority to choosing the right one within the family.

But Derek had to agree, he was very important to his younger brother. "

Although she made it clear that she supported the Perez family, Tiona did not forget to leave a way out. If it didn't work, it would be because Derek disagreed.

The old earl sighed in his heart. It was indeed watertight. Should he be proud of his family's education, or should he be sad?

Of course, he knew in his heart that his family's education would not change easily.

Only with Tiona's performance can she survive in a big family and take a dominant position in a small aristocratic family.

At least, noble daughters from the Perez family will tend to their own family when given the opportunity, which has brought countless relationships and opportunities.

If there are a few noble girls who care about their parents' families and enjoy the temporary fame, their reputation will be ruined and no one will dare to marry the daughter of the Perez family anymore.

"At least, we have the upper hand." Count Perez said to himself in his heart.

Another person wouldn't even be able to seize this opportunity.

He searched for a while, and then said: "I see that Derek has been busy building a new army recently, and I think he is right.

You also need to have a reliable confidant here. I will send your brother over later, and you will arrange for him to be the commander of the infantry regiment. I, my grandfather, will be able to provide the necessary resources. "

The old earl seemed to be asking for a job, but in fact he was asking for his flesh.

This infantry regiment will become the Duchess's private army from now on, and it is her family's support for her.

This is a long-term expense. Weapons and equipment, military pay and pensions must be spent on time.

The commander of the infantry regiment is also a biological brother of the same mother, so his trust level is directly increased.

On the one hand, consideration is given to the exchange of interests.

On the other hand, the Duchess does need a personal army to consolidate her position.

This is also a long-term investment of the Perez family. There is no reason to only gain without paying.

When Tiona heard this, she immediately smiled. She really needed some confidants to do something.

The Duke's, not quite hers.

Some things need to be distinguished.

As for whether Derek agreed or not, she was very confident.

This is also a characteristic of this world. Among the ladies from a big family, which one doesn’t have a trump card?

Tiona's own dowry also includes dead soldiers, but now her status is different, and the Perez family will increase their investment.

She felt comfortable taking this benefit.

So she immediately responded: "Grandpa, please make arrangements so that my younger sisters of appropriate age can come to my place as guests. I miss them."

These words were purely polite. There were many noble girls in the Perez family who just knew each other, so they didn't have much affection for each other.

As long as Sharif's wife is directly born, this range is actually very large.

The old earl naturally had no objection, and the matter was settled.

The two chatted for a while before leaving.

Tiona asked where Derek was and if he was free.

After waiting for a while, he took the opportunity to get a cup of tea before finding Derek.

"Derek, my grandpa just came."

Tiona told the truth about the conversation she just had, especially since the old Earl came here on crutches.

Derek understood the fishery as soon as he heard it. He knew very well that last year, the old earl rode a horse and hunted, could fire a strong bow, and was as strong as an animal.

I haven't heard of any serious illness, why can't I walk all of a sudden?

"The old Earl is too smart, I am not so small-minded." Derek said with a smile.

But to be honest, this attitude is very comforting.

Although it is not necessary, the Perez family says it is too small, but times have changed.

In front of guns and cannons, that's it.

Moreover, the strength of big families will be pulled down, and the technical threshold for arms races will become higher and higher in the future.

The family's development path has begun to change, which means that the gameplay will change.

So, there is no need.

But the attitude is worth encouraging.

Derek took a sip of tea and said to the attendant beside him: "Send a good horse and a gun to the old earl for me, and say that we will go hunting together in the fall."

I think the old earl can understand what he means.

As for Tiona's matter, he was also very straightforward.

"The establishment of the 10th Guards Infantry Regiment is given to you, and I will not interfere.

You can send someone to contact Philip directly for the armaments and weapons, and take them from the private property of the Duke's Mansion."

The stall that Little Tru is in charge of belongs to the duchy in a clear sense, which is sometimes not very convenient.

But Philip is different. He is his own slave, and his children are also arranged by the Duke's Mansion. No one knows and no one dares to control him.

This matter is settled. A new infantry regiment is enough to destroy most noble families. In the mouths of the Duke and Duchess, it is just a matter of words.

As long as Tiona does not let the army kill people openly, whether it is smuggling, protecting the interests of her son, or even going to the New World to open up wasteland, it is her freedom.

Derek knew that his wife was his subordinate, not a puppet, and he didn't want her to be a puppet.

The staffing problem was solved here, and the old earl was also very fast, with manpower and money in place immediately.

Tiona also specially asked Sherif to help train the army and officers.

Of course, the noble ladies of the Perez family also came to Swan Castle, nominally to visit the Duchess.
