Chapter 1017 Blackmail
"The Soran family?"
Liszt's fingers tapped on the chair, making a crisp echo, as if recalling something.
He is no longer the young man he was before, so many of his views are more profound.
The goodwill of the superiors may be bestowed on the lower class, but it is difficult to last.
Because most of the lower class cannot accept it.
But Sir Soran accepted it. He carefully kept his duty. He seemed to be just a small noble, but his next generation... had the capital to turn over.
Imagine if he was obsessed with making money and relying on the little favor of the eldest prince, could he really become a baron or even a higher noble?
The title of the empire is not so cheap.
The greater possibility is that he got a business, and then broke off relations with the eldest prince, and he would not even have his current status.
Do you really think neighbors are important?
For the eldest prince, it is just a foothold. Only when Sir Soran manages it into a friendly neighbor, that is his residence.
So, even if he has not spoken to the eldest prince once, others will give him a chance for the sake of the eldest prince's neighbors.
Soran, who never asks for help from others, became a knight.
And his children also became friends of the royal family and squeezed into a circle that was originally out of reach.
Call it the cleverness of a small person or the luck of a small person, anyway, now... the Soran family has really ushered in an opportunity.
Do you really think that Eunice being urged to get married is an accident?
It was just a little trick of Sir Soran, and then it was easy for her to meet her bestie here.
After all, being in a different place, knowing that her friends are also there, it is inevitable to meet.
It just so happens that the two have a good relationship, and the eldest princess wants to make trouble, so Eunice naturally got involved.
The only accident may be that Sir Soran did not expect that a guy like He Kai would catch the eye of his daughter.
Of course, the real plan is not human.
Liszt smiled, because he knew more information, so he could guess the context of everything.
As there has always been a saying, omniscience is omnipotence.
Knowing enough is like a god.
"Big brother should have expected it long ago!" Liszt said affirmatively.
Sir Soran is very smart, so Big Brother is willing to treat him as a chess piece on the basis of being close to the people.
Eunice is the assistant that Big Brother arranged for Sister Elf.
Even with Eunice's identity, in their eyes, she is just an ordinary person.
Ordinary people naturally cannot control their own destiny.
It seems that everything is their own choice, but in fact it is just arranged by others.
With proper guidance, Eunice can go to the stage and dance according to the baton.
She even feels that she is chasing freedom and dreams.
Of course, this may not be a bad thing.
Knowing more may not necessarily be happy.
What about Franz? How much does he know, or is he pretending to be stupid?
Liszt looked at this cheap cousin, who showed a standard smile, and was no longer as naive as before.
Sure enough, those who can survive in the empire either have a background or a brain, or both.
Just like Sir Soran, ordinary people can get to this point, who dares to say that he is just pure luck?
Similarly, is Franz really able to gain the trust of the royal family because of his identity?
No, he also strives for success, plus his father and grandfather are smart.
Perhaps now, Franz has become a smart man.
Liszt knew what was going on. He looked at the silent Franz and said, "I know about Eunice, and I am relieved by my brother's arrangement.
But sister Elf is now in my territory, so... I will give you a letter of authorization to form a knight group for her."
As a brother, he really loves his younger brothers and sisters and longs for family affection.
On this basis, he will consider the opinions of his father and even other people about himself.
Otherwise, Elf will not be so free and easy.
Franz smiled, he understood what Liszt meant.
The underlying meaning of giving a letter of authorization is to let you do whatever you want.
Otherwise, Elf will be given a complete knight group.
Sure enough, the second generation of the Augusta family, although each of them is very difficult, has a strong family affection.
That is, there are not many generations in this family, otherwise this situation will never happen.
Franz bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your generosity, Duke."
He called him cousin before, but now he must address him formally.
Next, Liszt invited his sister and cousin to have a meal together.
Originally, he wanted to keep Elf for a while, but the latter was unwilling.
Being left in the Sirius system was depressing enough, and being controlled by her brother, what was the difference between that and being at home?
After leaving the Duke's mansion, Elf immediately asked Franz what benefits he got from his brother.
As a result, when she heard that it was a letter of authorization, she immediately complained: "This is too stingy, why is it not a whole knight group with complete equipment, cousin Franz... are you lazy?"
Franz was helpless, this is what he said, the second generation of the Augusta family is very tricky.
He had to point out Elf's little thoughts: "Cousin, do you want to say that I took kickbacks, and then let me pay for the equipment myself?"
Elf blinked her big eyes and pretended to be stupid and said: "Of course I believe my cousin, but if you are willing to pay for it yourself..."
"Stop!" Franz interrupted her in time and pretended to get up: "I will go to Liszt now and ask him to change the authorization letter to two fully equipped knights, and tell him that this is your intention."
"Tsk!!!" Elf lay down and stopped pretending to be stupid. She was of course clear about the potential meaning of the authorization letter. She just wanted to fool one more fool.
Unexpectedly, Franz was slippery and didn't fall for it at all.
"Cousin, I heard that you are rich enough to rival a country, but you have embezzled a lot of my eldest brother's property. Why can't you be reluctant to give me a little bit?" Elf, who was lying down, spoke nonsense.
Franz's face turned green. He embezzled... No, every penny he earned was hard-earned hard work, and his eldest cousin knew it.
But if Elf spread rumors everywhere, it would not be a good thing.
He still knew the principle that three people make a tiger.
The second generation of the Augusta family is really a bastard.
Franz cursed in his heart, but he had to compromise. It seems that he couldn't get away without bleeding.
Of course, he assured me that he was not guilty.
