Chapter 187 Alice's Secret (Part 7)

The main city of the Viscountry is called Silver Wing City, which is a small country city of similar size to Kaiyue City.

Habsburg has a magnificent castle near a small lake in the northwest of Silver Wing City. There are not many Habsburg family members in the Viscountry, only a dozen.

All of these dozen members are knights without exception.

The Habsburg family was once a royal family, but after the country was destroyed, they drifted to the countryside and became a family of noble descendants, making a living by doing business.

However, the family members never forget their former royal identity, so the male members of the family are knights, all for the purpose of gathering the power to restore the country.

Of course, this seems completely impossible to succeed, and what are a dozen knights?

In any case, this is the insistence of the Habsburg family members. And the business activities of the Habsburg family will be handed over to their wives or daughters to run.

At present, the most important person in power in the Habsburg family is Miss Alice's grandmother, Mrs. Smith.

Mrs. Smith is a member of the Silver Wing Viscount family and has a close blood relationship with the contemporary Silver Wing Viscount. Since she took charge of the Habsburg family, the Habsburg family's business has been booming.

Influence, wealth, must be overwhelmed by the Morgan family.

By the way, the two families are sometimes allies in business, sometimes enemies, and are forces that are both enemies and friends.

So Alice and Miss Amanda are a little bit at odds.

On a sunny afternoon, Alice took her own carriage and came to the castle under the protection of the family guards.

The light rising from the sparkling lake makes the castle look like a dream.

The castle theme has five floors and covers a very large area. It is surrounded by a building and a wall outside. There are guards, knights, male and female servants, just like a small city that can't be any smaller.

The Habsburg family has a close relationship with the Silver Wing Viscount family, but they are not the knight family serving the Silver Wing Viscount. All the weapons here belong to the private property of the Habsburg family.

This situation is very common in the Kingdom of Prussia, and powerful merchants have their own armed forces.

Alice and her party easily passed the guards' inspection outside the castle and came to the theme of the castle. Alice got off the showy golden carriage, and a team of male servants responded.

Alice ordered: "Gilma, polish my golden carriage. If it doesn't work, polish it. It's all dim."

"Yes, Miss Alice." A male servant said humbly.

"Where is my grandmother?" Alice asked.

"Mrs. Smith is in the bedroom on the second floor." The male servant replied.

Alice nodded, then told the male servants to take care of the knights who came with her, and entered the castle.

The emblem of the Habsburg family hangs on the wall of the castle hall. Two tigers hold a crown on the left and right, symbolizing the royal power.

On the right side of the emblem is an oil painting of the first generation leader of the Habsburg family, King Habsburg.

Every time a member of the Habsburg family comes here, they salute King Habsburg, but Alice is obviously not interested in this. She curled her lips and walked up the stairs to Mrs. Smith's bedroom.

In the bedroom, Mrs. Smith is putting on makeup with the help of two maids. She is over 60 years old, but she is well maintained. With the background of makeup, she looks like a beautiful woman in her 40s.

She is an elegant lady.

"Oh, my dear Alice, you finally remembered your grandmother." Mrs. Smith waved her hand, let the two maids go down, and then said in a tone of pretending to be resentful.

Alice spends most of the year in the Viscount's territory and stays with Mrs. Smith. This time she went to Kaiyue City for a little too long.

Mrs. Smith was not used to it.

"No, I think of grandma all the time." Alice in front of Mrs. Smith seemed to have turned into a young girl. She hugged Mrs. Smith from behind and said coquettishly.

"Okay, I believe you." Mrs. Smith's eyes narrowed with joy, and she patted the back of Alice's hand.

The two had another intimate conversation, and then Mrs. Smith asked: "What made you linger in Kaiyue City for so long? Is it a handsome guy?"

"No." Alice immediately shook her head and denied it, but soon she had no choice but to talk about a guy.

"Grandma, do you know the Pompeii family?"

"Is it the family that wiped out the Autumn Wind Thieves Group entrenched in the Black Water Mountains not long ago? To be honest, they helped us a lot and saved our Habsburg family a lot of protection fees."

Mrs. Smith thought about it and thanked.

The Habsburg family is a family with a certain amount of military power, but it is obviously not comparable to Baron Barton and Viscount Eagle Wing. The two nobles are helpless against the Autumn Wind Thieves, let alone the Habsburg family.

Therefore, the family pays a portion of protection fees to the Autumn Wind Thieves every year, so that business activities can be carried out normally.

From this aspect, Luther has favors for some families around him.

"Could it be the next generation of knights of the Pompeii family, Luther, Mr. Pompeii? Rumor has it that he is a powerful knight who can kill monsters, not bad. You should also find someone to have a good relationship with."

Mrs. Smith's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Alice with loving and distressed eyes.

Many people would not believe that Alice, Miss Barton, who is known for her debauchery, has never had a serious relationship.

She has never had a man.

Although many men are jealous of Alice and even duel for her.

Alice smiled and said, "That guy is really good, and there is no pressure to get along with him. But what I want to talk about is not the man, but the future of the Pompeii family."

Mrs. Smith's eyes were brighter. She rarely heard her granddaughter say this about a man.

Not bad.

Just as she was about to ask more questions, seeing Alice's serious expression, Mrs. Smith stopped herself and asked, "What about the future of the Pompeii family?"

Mrs. Smith nodded again and said, "From the current actions of the Pompeii family, the family's upward momentum is obvious and its ambition is sufficient."

"This family wants to build a metropolis. At present, I, the Morgan family, the Pompeii family, and six small families have participated in the Pompeii family's preliminary plan, a resort hotel, oh no, it's called a resort."

Alice told Mrs. Smith everything that had happened recently.

"Grandma, I have invested all my belongings and am ready to have a big time. You must use your connections to help me promote it well."

After saying that, Alice acted coquettishly and cutely.

If a man's bones are soft.

Even Mrs. Smith is a little flattered.

The great eldest daughter of the baron has the charm that attracts both men and women.
