Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Finally, there was a slight disagreement on the naming of the school.

Some people thought that it should be named after the place name of Plan City, which was in line with mainstream habits.

However, Derek saw through this guy's little thoughts at a glance. He was a native of Plan City.

Some people wanted to name it Northern University, after all, it was the first university.

Of course, Archbishop John wanted to name it after the word "saint", such as St. Derek's University.

In the end, it was Derek who made the final decision: "Let's call it Hadley University, as a tribute to Archbishop John's achievements."

John Hadley.

This is Archbishop John's last name. For him, he would disdain you giving him money, and he would not frown even if a knife was placed on his neck.

Only this name made him unable to face it calmly.

Tiona saw Archbishop John's hand tremble, and he almost shook out the coffee.

Although the Archbishop soon returned to normal, everyone could see how much he cared.

"Duke, this is not appropriate. It is most appropriate to name it after you." Archbishop John refused.

"No, Archbishop John, your achievements are obvious to all, there is nothing inappropriate about it," Derek insisted, and then skillfully made a big promise: "Perhaps one day, Hadley University will be renamed St. Hadley University. I believe that day will come."

The Duke's personal decision, of course, the bureaucrats will no longer object.

They are more flexible than Archbishop John's bottom line, and of course they will not go against the Duke.

The only one in the Principality who is stubborn enough to confront Derek is Archbishop John.

But this time, he was silent.

As long as people live in this world, they can't really have no desires.

"Thank you, Duke. I didn't expect that an old guy like me could leave something for future generations to see." Archbishop John's emotions were very complicated. An unprecedented university was destined to leave heavy traces. It seemed good that he could leave his name in this way.

As for Derek, he really didn't care about these.

To fulfill the reputation of his subordinates is also to enhance himself.

When people mention Hadley University in the future, will they forget him, the Duke?

After finalizing the general plan, the details are not the bigwigs' turn to worry about.

Everyone said goodbye very politely, and no one wanted to continue to talk at length while staring at the Duchess' eyes.

The annoying guys left, and no one asked for money from him anymore. Derek leaned back tiredly.

"It's not that easy to be a duke!"

Power corresponds to obligations. If you don't want to be sidelined, you will definitely not be idle.

This is still the result of officials at all levels assisting in handling government affairs, otherwise you will be exhausted and can't finish it.

So sometimes the lower-level officials expect the duke to know everything, that's a dream.

The duke read out the names of each official, and a year has passed. Only by finding a way to appear in front of the duke can there be a chance.

Tiona stood behind Derek and gently rubbed his head for him.

"The New Year is coming soon. I plan to invite your family and my family to come to Swan Castle to celebrate the New Year. What do you think?"

The nobles of the Locke Kingdom sometimes attach great importance to this aspect of interpersonal relations, and sometimes seem indifferent.

In fact, this is entirely caused by the feudal system.

The lord usually stays in his own territory during the New Year, and some court nobles are unwilling to go to their relatives' homes to join in the fun, preferring to stay in their own small families.

So there is a lot of communication in normal times, but it is deserted during the New Year.

Derek was somewhat tempted. Strictly speaking, the family has not gathered together since they became adults.

"Well, Sharif is still around now. When he is really sent out, it is really difficult to transfer him at will."

Derek thought about it and thought that this was a good opportunity.

So he agreed.

He grabbed Tiona's soft little hand with his backhand and looked sideways: "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"

Without a reason, Tiona would not have the idea of ​​reunion.

Hearing Derek's question, Tiona's eyes flickered, and then she smiled and replied: "Of course Qin wants to see his grandparents, and there are many relatives in the family that he doesn't know yet, so it's a good opportunity for him to recognize people."

Speaking of which, Qin is more than two years old and has passed the most dangerous infancy, and the possibility of premature death is greatly reduced.

Derek did not think deeply, and sent someone to invite relatives from both sides to come to Swan Castle for the New Year.

As for the little bit of increased expenses, it is not worth mentioning.

Of course, Tiona would not tell Derek what she was concerned about.

As the granddaughter of the Earl's family, she looked far beyond the ordinary small noble family.

Originally, she only expected to become a countess, but now it seems that she can wear the crown of the queen at any time.

On the one hand, she maintained the status and dignity of the Duchess and tried her best to help Derek stabilize his rule.

On the other hand, she turned a blind eye to some of the Duke's behaviors.

Capable people can naturally be tolerated more.

Thinking about making trouble all day will lead to worse and worse relations.

This is also the reason why the relationship between the Duke and Duchess is harmonious.

However, the premise of all this is that no one can threaten the status of her son.

You can have a lover or an illegitimate child, but the inheritance of the principality can only belong to Qin.

Tiona has this confidence, even including the 10th Guards Infantry Regiment, the huge Perez family, and the relationship she has created, are all her confidence.

Of course, she will not give up efforts in other aspects, such as maintaining good relationships between relatives and making her son closer to relatives.

After all, this relationship is very important in aristocratic politics.

For example, my younger brother-in-law Sherif holds military power.

My second brother Sergei is also a general of the local garrison.

My eldest brother Marco will inherit the Ferreira family.

My cousin Adrian is an important arm that Derek relies on.

My second uncle Andrew is the director of customs and holds economic power.

Other relatives who rely on the Duke for development also have a huge network of relationships in the principality.

Usually, they are insignificant if you don't look into it, but once these people work together, they can influence the Duke's inheritance.

Qin occupies the orthodox position, and with the support of general relatives, it is as stable as Mount Tai.

She will not use any despicable means like some noble ladies from small families, and she can just do it in a dignified manner.

For example, the Duke's lovers can even receive gifts from the Duke's Mansion regularly, all of which are instructed by the Duchess.

If Derek doesn't think about these carefully, he won't understand them for a while.

If he thinks about it carefully, he can only laugh it off.

Some things don't need to be bothered.

Tiona has already prepared for the New Year in advance, but before that, she received a surprise from overseas.

The gift from the First Brigade of the Guards flew across the sea and was finally delivered to the Duke's Mansion before the New Year.

The envoy from overseas, holding a box inlaid with rubies, relayed: "Colonel Robert said that the First Brigade of the Guards will always be the loyal guards of the Duke and his wife."
