Chapter 612 In-Laws

It is really difficult to grow up without experiencing some setbacks.

After wandering around for a while, Prince Charlie finally knew what it meant to be down-to-earth.

In the past, he would definitely look down on people of Sanger's background, but now he can greet him in person.

As soon as they met, he took the initiative to greet him without the introduction of Earl Jeffreys: "Mr. Earl, this is Sir Sanger, right?

I have heard of your great name for a long time, and finally met you today."

Earl Jeffreys was satisfied to see Prince Charlie like this.

Good people and weak people are not suitable to struggle at this level.

If you are useless, just go home and be a rich man, and no one will really chase you.

Sanger was also a little flattered. Although he took the title of Daxia, the orthodox image of the Lionheart Kingdom was still deeply rooted in his bones.

No matter how down and out Prince Charlie was, he was still a noble man.

He felt very moved by the other party's courtesy.

Of course, everyone is a political creature, and being touched is at most the icing on the cake. The real decisive factor is the matchmaking of Earl Jeffreys.

Otherwise, even if the man and the concubine are interested in hooking up, it will take a lot of time to get along.

After they sat down, Earl Jeffreys personally poured wine for the two of them, and then began to discuss the details of the cooperation.

"Prince Charlie, you need support from others, and you have an army in your hands, waiting for the right time.

Sanger, you have someone with a foundation, and if you support Prince Charlie's actions, you can really enter the upper class. This is a win-win situation for cooperation!" Earl Jeffreys tried his best to promote the cooperation between the two.

Sanger was very sensible, and immediately stood up to toast and promised: "I will definitely follow Prince Charlie's lead in the future. If your Highness likes my little property, just speak up, and I will never say anything."

Prince Charlie would of course not take it seriously, otherwise he would be a fool.

People are polite and show their support for themselves. If they really think they are the master, they will be taught a lesson soon.

He also responded with a smile, and opened his first chip first: "Sir Sanger, you are too serious. I am very happy that you support me. How dare I seize the Sir's property?

I never treat my own people badly. I will first support the Sir in competing for the position of Speaker of the local parliament. Let's control the overseas colonies together first, how about it?"

The two exchanged their chips and were very satisfied.

So the three of them toasted each other and discussed the details happily.

…

At the other end of the city, Minister Smith dressed very solemnly today.

He wore a formal suit, and Mrs. Smith also attended in a formal dress. The two rarely appeared together.

This was of course at the invitation of the royal family to go to Swan Castle for a party.

This weekend, Qin, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, issued an invitation to go to Swan Castle for a vacation together and discuss the wedding date of the two.

So the Smith family turned down all things and went to Swan Castle together.

Although there is a large-scale royal palace in Plan City, Swan Castle also has a pivotal position, or even more important.

As the queen's dowry, this castle has rich implications.

Strictly speaking, this is the Queen's private property and the Augusta family's nest.

The invitation here seems more private and secretive.

In the early years, Derek would meet nobles from all over the country here, but in recent years, he has rarely invited people to Swan Castle.

Most of those who can receive invitations are invited in the name of the Queen, or close ministers like Simon.

So when the car drove into the Swan Castle, the Smiths found that the environment here was well preserved.

In the case of large-scale development everywhere, Swan Castle still maintains its original style.

There is even a horse farm and a large grassland.

The famous Augusta Knights are also stationed nearby and have established a permanent camp.

When passing by by car, you can also see knights riding war horses.

The Smiths have seen many upper-class people and private manors, but they are less majestic than Swan Castle.

In this case, the family arrived at their destination.

Derek went out with his wife to greet them, which has not happened for many years.

When the old marquis was still alive, he could enjoy such treatment every time he came.

When the old marquis passed away, Tiona's father kept committing suicide and was confined in the fiefdom.

If other people come again, don't expect the emperor and his wife to come to greet them.

Usually, Qin welcomes guests on behalf of his parents, which is a rare importance.

For Smith, this is a combination of surprise and fear.

He has heard rumors that the emperor's family is approachable, and he has also seen reports that the emperor goes to the fields every year.

But every time he comes into contact, it is mostly for work, and what he sees is the majestic and powerful image of the emperor.

It is really unsettling to suddenly enjoy such treatment.

He hurriedly got out of the car and went forward to salute.

It was still Qin who was quick and supported him.

Derek smiled and said, "Smith, there is no monarch and minister today. We are just a family having a meal and meeting. Don't be too restrained."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Smith replied respectfully.

Your Majesty is polite, but I can't be too aggressive, otherwise I won't be unhappy, right?

Derek didn't force it. He knew that no matter what he said, some things could not be changed.

Anyway, the attitude is there, that's all.

Claire was the most relaxed among the Smith family. She had no opinion on her parents' performance, but she was different.

For example, she glared at little Gwen who was watching the fun, and the latter immediately shrank behind her second brother like a mouse seeing a cat.

Now the whole family is unreliable, only the silly second brother is easy to fool.

Little Gwen is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid of this unmarried sister-in-law.

Because others dare not do anything to her, but Claire is different.

Qin saw this scene, smiled and pulled little Gwen over, touched her head, and said: "Don't be afraid, no one forced you to do homework in class today."

Little Gwen was relieved. It was wonderful for her to be able to relax for a day.

Only the Smiths didn't know what happened and smiled awkwardly.

Derek led the way, personally leading the way for the two in-laws.

The first thing that caught the eye was the Glory Stairs, two rows of armor displayed, recording the history of the Augusta family.

The worn armor, the bright red blood stains could no longer be washed off.

Derek said affectionately: "This is what the first group of knights who followed me left behind. They are the witnesses and heroes of the Augusta family. Without them, there would be no Great Xia Empire today."
