The Extraordinary Earl
Chapter 187 Alice’s Secret (seventh update)
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.
These dozen members are all knights without exception.
The Habsburg family was once a royal family, but it was only after the country was destroyed that 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 very 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, these 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 on 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 cannot be smaller.
The Habsburg family has a close relationship with the Silver Wing Viscount family, but it does not belong to 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 all have their own armed forces.
Alice and her group easily passed the guards 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, make my golden carriage bright, or polish it if it doesn't work, 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 coat of arms of the Habsburg family is hung on the wall of the castle hall, with two tigers holding a crown on the left and right, symbolizing royal power.
On the right side of the coat of arms is an oil painting of the first generation leader of the Habsburg family, King Habsburg.
Every time a member of the Habsburg family came here, they would salute King Habsburg, but Alice was obviously not interested in this. She curled her lips and walked up the stairs to Mrs. Smith's bedroom.
In the bedroom, Mrs. Smith was putting on makeup with the help of two maids. She was over 60 years old, but she was well maintained. With the makeup, she looked like a beautiful woman in her 40s.
She was an elegant lady.
"Oh, my dear Alice, you finally remembered your grandmother." Mrs. Smith waved her hand and let the two maids go down, and then said in a pretentious tone of resentment.
Alice spent most of the year in the Viscount's territory and stayed with Mrs. Smith. This time she went to Kaiyue City for work for a little too long.
Mrs. Smith was not used to it.
"No, I think of my grandmother all the time." Alice in front of Mrs. Smith seemed to have turned into a young and invincible little 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 and said.
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 way." 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 Baron and Viscount Eagle Wing. The two great nobles can't do anything about the Autumn Wind Thieves Group, let alone the Habsburg family.
Therefore, the family paid a part of the protection fee to the Autumn Wind Thieves Group every year, so that business activities can be carried out normally.
In this respect, Luther is kind to 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 it that Alice, Miss Barton, who was known for her dissolute debauchery, had never been in a serious relationship.
Never had a man.
Although many men are jealous of Alice and even start a duel.
Alice smiled and said: "That guy is indeed not bad, and there is no pressure to get along with him. But what I want to say is not the man, but the future of the Pompeii family."
Mrs. Smith's eyes were brighter. She had rarely heard her granddaughter say this about a man.
not bad.
She was about to ask, but looking at Alice's serious expression, Mrs. Smith couldn't help but stop, and then asked: "The future of the Pompeii family?"
Mrs. Smith nodded again: "Judging from the current actions of the Pompeii family, this family's upward momentum is obvious and their ambitions are sufficient."
"This family wants to build a metropolis. Currently, the Morgan family, the Pompei family, and I, along with six other small families, are participating in the Pompei family's preliminary plan for a resort hotel, oh no, it's called a resort."
Alice told Mrs. Smith everything that had happened recently.
"Grandma, I invested all my belongings and prepared to have a big fun. You must use your connections to help me promote it."
After finishing speaking, Alice said coquettishly and cutely.
If the man's bones are all crispy.
Even Mrs. Smith was a little carried away.
The eldest daughter of a great baron has the charm to kill both men and women.
