Chapter 591 Concern

Albert's specific position will certainly not be discussed at the grand court meeting.

Give him a title, and then the internal adjustment of the royal family will follow.

But those who can understand know that this is the appointed officer of the crown prince's guard.

After this grand court meeting is over, Derek deliberately kept Virut and Simon.

These are old brothers who fought together in the early days, and they are naturally closer.

Although Earl Jeffreys has no less status and power, his personal relationship with the emperor is not as good as theirs.

This relationship can be passed down to future generations.

Nowadays, the empire is cautious in conferring titles, and the emperor is very strict about this.

You see that most of the younger generation are given a nominal title of lifetime knight, and how many people are conferred baron?

But Albert has it, and he is a regimental-level officer as soon as he enters the officialdom.

This starting point is the continuation of the grace of his ancestors.

The emperor invited them to dinner, which is also a manifestation of the relationship.

Some things are communicated several times more in private than in public.

For example, Virut brought up the old matter again and mentioned Qin's marriage.

"Your Majesty, Count Augusta has come of age, and it's time to arrange a marriage. The inheritance of the country... cannot be delayed!"

Virut hardly concealed his thoughts. Although Derek repeatedly emphasized that he would not marry a noble like him, it would be okay to find a noble family of the Northern lineage!

He is almost the spokesperson for half of the Northern nobles, representing the interests of the Northern nobles in the court, and firmly controlling the military channels.

Naturally, he also wants to maintain this power. The next generation of military leaders may not be descendants of him, Virut, but must be descendants of Northern nobles.

Derek never thought there was anything wrong with this idea. Isn't it for themselves and their descendants that everyone works hard?

If Virut really behaves like a saint, it would be a cause for concern.

Simon is also very concerned. The marriage of the eldest prince is indeed unusual.

He is also a Northern lineage. Although he has no contact with most people, he also supports Virut because of the incense.

This is why the Northern lineage has been prosperous for a long time. The emperor's confidants are all from the Northern land, so it is difficult for them to decline!

Not many people know about Qin's affairs. Earl Jeffreys dare not speak out even if he knows about it, and others dare not spy on Qin's whereabouts at will.

So the confidentiality work is done very well, and few people really know about it.

If Virut did not bring up this topic, Derek would not take the initiative to say it.

But since the old brother mentioned it, he must not hide it.

So he waved to his entourage to bring a magazine, smiled and opened it, pointed to the name of one of the editors-in-chief and said: "To be honest with you, Qin's marriage is basically settled, and it is this... Miss Claire, I have met her, she is an extremely smart and excellent woman."

Virut was surprised. This was the first time he heard about this. He didn't expect Qin's marriage to be settled quietly.

He took the newspaper and took a look. He had also read Time Entertainment Magazine, which has been very popular in the past year.

But he never thought that Qin's fiancée was this Claire.

He recalled for a moment and said uncertainly: "I remember she is the daughter of Smith, the Minister of Power?"

Sure enough, the top circle is so small, everyone knows it.

Virut really wants to find a good wife for Qin, just like the current queen.

Representing the northern nobles is his wish, but he also cares about Qin.

After all, he watched his children grow up, which is naturally different from the general monarch and minister status.

So he tried to recall that the Smith family only squeezed into the top circle of the empire in recent years, and they are very alternative.

His background determined that most noble officials had a layer of estrangement with him, and he was rarely invited to participate in private activities.

After all, Virut had private gatherings with people, riding a Mercedes on his own pasture, riding horses from his own horse farm, playing with machine guns and artillery, what did you ask Smith to do?

He had neither pasture nor horse farm, and the heavy firepower weapon at home was a decorative rifle without bullets.

In fact, he had never fired a gun a few times, so he was embarrassed to go.

So Virut had almost no impression of Claire, and naturally could not judge.

He even complained a little, regardless of the difference between the monarch and the minister, and said: "Your Majesty, why did you choose such a woman for Qin?

It's not that I look down on Miss Claire, but the daughter of an ordinary family, can she adapt to the palace? Can she manage the family business?

Don't lose the harmony between husband and wife in the end."

In Virut's eyes, the noble ladies are still good. They can show off, manage the family business, have no lack of etiquette, and the most important thing is to have common topics.

Derrick was not angry about this. He pointed at Qin and said proudly: "Don't blame me. He chose this daughter-in-law himself. They are considered to be free love."

Qin smiled at Virut somewhat awkwardly. After all, the atmosphere of free love is not obvious, and the crown prince is more likely to cause discussion.

The mainstream of public opinion is not so open.

Virut was a little angry and surprised. He really wanted to say nonsense. This is against the rules! And it loses dignity.

This is the old-fashioned thinking of the nobles. Of course, there is also his reason. At least the noble ladies who know the roots and the bottom of the family are almost unlikely to step on thunder, which can ensure the continuation of the family.

There are many cases in history where the male heir of a family is young and the mistress is in charge.

These noble ladies have received a lot of education and can really hold their own at critical moments.

From the perspective of legal principles, customs and even popular concepts, the wives of nobles have their own legal privileges, which can support them to live with their heads held high.

Seeing Virut's great reaction, Derek quickly brought him a plate of beef and advised him, "Don't think too much about it. I've seen it myself, Claire. She is reliable and will not lose Qin's face."

This means that he really regards Qin as his nephew. Otherwise, there is no need for Virut to be angry. Isn't it difficult to flatter him?

Virut took two bites of the meat, but he still felt uneasy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. I don't feel at ease if I don't take a look."

He knew that someone must be protecting Claire secretly, and it could easily cause misunderstandings if he didn't tell him in advance.

"Go, go, you uncles would like to meet me." Derek agreed generously.

However, Qin was a little embarrassed and murmured: "Isn't that true?!"

Simon also smiled and answered: "We are not called uncles for nothing. We are going to see our future niece-in-law and support the scene for you."

Derek looked at it with a smile. Qin's biological uncle had not met Claire yet, but several fake uncles were going to meet her in advance.

However, he was happy to see this scene. The support of the military nobles for the heir apparent was the basis for the stability of the regime.

Otherwise, once trouble arises due to personal feelings, it will be another turmoil.
