Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Earl Norton. Claire nodded slightly, indicating that the other party, as Shane's father, was considered his elder.

Norton also smiled and nodded at Claire, but didn't say anything, and sat farther away from Sophia and Claire.

At this time, there were four or five people in the salon, but no one spoke, just chatting with the people next to them in a low voice. Now their casual words may be huge waves outside. Sophia didn't open her mouth to attract everyone's attention, and the crowd hadn't come yet. She bowed her head and followed Claire to chat about the next thing for him to help.

I will handle the materials on the kingdom's side, and you will be responsible for the Raging Flame Plane. I have already greeted His Majesty the King and will give you a temporary official position. By then, the materials from this side to the Raging Flame Plane will be required. through your hands.

Claire was a little surprised, Leave such a big thing to me? You are really relieved.

I mentioned it to His Majesty the King. His Majesty is very optimistic about you and said that he will give you a temporary official position. After arriving at the plane of Raging Flames, you can manage the materials of other nobles together. Sophia smiled.

Claire blinked, closed her mouth without speaking, and pondered, what does Norris mean?

Seeing that Claire didn't speak, Sophia thought something was wrong and asked, Is it too much? If you can't control it, tell me, and I will respond to His Majesty.

Claire shook her head, That's not true, it's just that I might be a little tired.

Hearing that Claire was fine, Sophia also smiled, stretched out her hand and pinched Claire's face, I knew you could do it, don't worry, I will tell His Majesty the king when it's done.

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man with a bald head and a gold-covered black walking stick came over. Sophia saw him with disgust in her eyes, and slapped her mouth out. sound.

The middle-aged man also saw Sophia, his eyes flickered a few times, he turned his face away and didn't want to meet Sophia's gaze. Which of the people sitting on the sofa was not a human being, saw the situation and immediately shouted: Prince Albert, come and sit here, I have something I want to talk to you about.

Only then did Claire react. Oh, it turns out that this bald head was the Prince Albert who had caused Sophia to lose a lot of money as Shane said before. The last time I saw him at the wedding banquet of that Duke Charles, but he was wearing a top hat at that time, and now he took off the top hat and revealed the bald head inside, and he couldn't recognize it for a while.

After Prince Albert came, people came one after another, and then Claire found something wrong. Opposite them, there was a man with a tall nose and a little haggard staring at him, looking a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it. Where did you see it, I wanted to ask who Sophia was.

But after everyone arrived, Sophia stood up first and introduced to Claire: Let me introduce to you, this is Viscount Claire, a good friend of our August family, and he is also responsible for the round trip between the two worlds in this war. Logistics officer, everyone's supplies must go through his hands to the plane of angry flames.

Claire stood up, showed a polite smile, and didn't speak. Sophia has already said it, and that sentence is equivalent to letting the top real power nobles present know that there is a new person to join them, and don't make trouble if you encounter a gang who can help in the future.

Before Claire could sit back, an inappropriate voice sounded, Mrs. Sophia, it's not me who questioned you, it's a child who looks no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. Can he take on this important task?

Claire looked in the direction the voice came from, and it was the haggard man who had just stared at him.

When Sophia heard this, her eyes were more than three-pointed with fire. She said this just after the introduction. This is slapping her in the face.

What's wrong? I've been in charge of the August family since I was eighteen. Age doesn't mean anything.

The man didn't seem to hear the different tone of Sophia's words, and continued: You are you, and your ability is obvious to all, but we don't know this kid, let us entrust our materials to him, if Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?

Sophia could already see anger in her eyes, and said coldly, This is an order from His Majesty the King himself. Are you trying to say that there is something wrong with His Majesty's actions?

Sophia, you don't need to put on such a big hat. I think Earl of Purlan is right. Prince Albert, who was on the side, said. Mind pushing him, Sophia hates him, and he naturally doesn't deal with Sophia.

He's so young, it's hard to be a big boss. I'll report it to His Majesty and let him think about it again. Albert said, it's not really important to report it or not. So many top nobles have lost face in front of them. You must know that what she did in the past was more than this, and the trouble was known to everyone in the entire capital. He lost all the face of a prince.

Sophia's chest twitched, Claire stood up again, put her hand on her shoulder and pressed her back to the sofa, whispering in her ear, Don't worry, leave it to me.

Sophia's strength was not as strong as Claire's. After being pressed down, she looked at Claire with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Claire clapped her hands, and looked at the haggard man first, pretending to think for a moment, Oh, Earl Pulan, right? First of all, I want to say sorry to you.

sorry?

Everyone watching the lively scene was a little stunned, where did I feel sorry for these three words?

You're Baker's father, right? Claire continued. He had just thought about why he looked so familiar to him. He was the father of Baker who had been beaten twice by himself. According to Edith's news, he is also the son of a magus, no wonder he dares to be so hard on Sophia.

Claire continued: Why do you say sorry? Because I beat up your children, but you can't target me like this because I beat your son twice, each of those two times was his own. came to the door.

As soon as Claire said this, the situation reversed in an instant, from questioning Claire's ability suddenly to the other party's public revenge.

Earl Pulan suddenly stood up, pointed at Claire's nose and scolded: How dare you mention it! Just because of those two battles, my boy's current Xiu is stagnant!

As soon as Sophia heard this, she showed a cheerful smile. It turned out to be the case. That matter was much easier to solve.

So he stood up immediately, pointed at Earl Pulan's nose and mocked: What? Let your son win the duel? Don't duel with other people if you are not talented. If you lose, now the parents are looking for a match, right?

Earl Pulan's face flushed, and he shouted loudly, Who said that talent is not good! That voice attracted the attention of the nobles who were talking outside.

Sophia didn't show weakness at all, and said softly: I can't beat us at the same level, isn't Claire the talent of your family! What's there to say!

The other party didn't plan to give her face in the first place, and it's no wonder that Sophia is sour at the moment, she's not the kind of person who suffers and suffers.

Your magical talent is not inherited from Duke Carl, and you will become an archmage after practicing for most of your life! Is there a problem with your son's talent not as good as ours, Claire?

You, you, you! Earl Pulan's outstretched hand was shaking non-stop, his face flushed fiercely. As the son of a magister, his own cultivation has stopped at the stage of an archmage. This is a pain that Earl Pulan can never mention in his heart.

Me, me! What's wrong with me! Did I say it wrong! Sophia replied unceremoniously. The two of them were of similar status. His father was a magician, and her ancestor Sophia was not a magician! In terms of strength, the strength of their ancestors of the August family is not a bit stronger than Karl, who has just been promoted to the magister for less than a hundred years.

And it was the other party who picked things up first, so Sophia didn't have to get used to him.
