"Sister, what are you...... Are you going to go far away?" Cole Kant's voice came from behind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Edith continued to arrange the clothes in her hand, and said without looking back, "It's not far, just wander around the West." ”

"How many days?" the younger brother walked up to her.

"I don't know. ”

"I didn't pick a gown, I didn't have a corset, I didn't even bring your favorite corset......" Cole looked at the clothes piled up on the bed, "Isn't this trip going to visit the nobles, attend a dinner party, or anything like that?"

"Observation has improved, but there are some things that you don't need to say. Edith glanced sideways at him.

The latter suddenly shrank, "This is what you taught me." ”

"Then I'll teach you a little bit more, to always be elegant when dealing with a lady, and to be careful with your words, understand?"

"But you're my sister......"

"If not, you're already suffering. ”

Cole shuddered, "I—I know. ”

"Good," Edith shrugged, "how does it feel to work at City Hall?"

"Okay...... According to what you said, I did not reveal the status of the nobleman, and usually only wrote and recorded, and there was no difficulty. It's just that I ......don't understand," the younger brother hesitated, "why didn't you put me in your department?"

After the last time he watched the artillery drills, Cole Cont finally gave up the idea of returning to Eternal Night, and the two moved from the diplomatic building to a spacious house near the castle, becoming official residents of Neverwinter. As a traditionally educated aristocrat, it was not difficult to find a clerical job at the town hall, and with the nearly 100 scholars and attendants her father had transferred from the north, she now had her own staff in the town hall.

Although these people will not stay here forever, Her Majesty will never refuse the insightful men sent by the Northland to learn the new system, and she knows how much the young king is hungry for talent, and there is still only one place in the North who is willing to provide him with administrators. As long as she remains replaced, she will always have a place in His Majesty's new regime.

"Because it's not necessary, and it's easy to make mistakes," Edith smiled slightly, "The Lord Steward usually keeps an eye on me, and if you are transferred and let him find your fault, whether I help you or not, you will fall into passivity." And the damage to the honor of the Kant family will also affect His Majesty's opinion of me. She paused, "No matter how distant our relationship is, to outsiders, it is still a whole." So whatever you do in the future, understand that you represent more than just yourself. ”

Cole lowered his head, a pensive expression. Edith didn't know how much he could understand, but she couldn't help the other party understand this kind of thing, even if the fiefdom nobility no longer existed in the new government, the influence of blood and surname would still last for a long time, and even more noticeable in the short term than before.

Just as when the sun goes down, the moon becomes the brightest celestial body.

It was a long moment before he nodded, "I'll take notice." ”

The father's evaluation of the second son is timid, indecisive, and not good at force, and he is not suitable to be the leader of the family. In particular, in the days when the lord had to take his knights to defend his homeland at any time, or to travel and plunder, his cowering style could easily lead to the displeasure of his subordinates.

Edith knew her father had nothing to say.

That's Cole Kant like himself.

If it weren't for Tifeko breaking the order in the north and eagerly supporting the nobles with weak roots to become allies, the Kant family would probably still be in the corner of the north, far from being able to get to where it is today.

That's why her father has high hopes for her.

But for Neverwinter, these shortcomings have become irrelevant...... On the contrary, to a certain extent, it has become an advantage, such as being cautious, unassuming, and quick to learn, which are suitable for staying in the town hall and working.

From the moment a group of civilians armed with snow powder weapons conquered the royal capital in just one day, personal force and courage were no longer important, which was why she insisted on keeping her brother in Neverwinter from the beginning.

"By the way, sister," Cole casually picked up a long dress and compared it to himself, "where the hell are you going? I don't want to be bored in such a big room alone." ”

"You asked to buy a big house at the beginning, and five hundred golden dragons is not a small amount even to me, but now you think it's too big?" asked Edith in a cold voice.

"No...... No, no...... I'm satisfied," Cole was so frightened that he almost dropped his clothes on the floor.

"Wait until next summer, the third brother will also come to Neverwinter, and you will have company by then. She looked at the other and was surprised to find that the dress in front of Cole matched him perfectly, and an interesting thought arose in her heart, "As for where I'm going, it's a secret of Neverwinter—it's not that I can't tell you, but according to the old rules, you'll have to pay a price." ”

Cole hesitated for a moment, he was no stranger to this kind of small game of rewarding for information, and he was teased a lot, but in the end, curiosity still overwhelmed the fear in his heart, "I want to hear it." ”

Edith raised the corners of her mouth, "The Great Snow Mountains of the Western Realm, act with the First Army." ”

He was surprised, "Do you mean the source of the Chishui River, what's there?"

"Unknown hybrid monsters, or alien enemies, it's not uncommon to encounter anything," she briefly recounted the information provided by the Tachira remnants during the meeting, "and we also have a group of tentacle allies, monster to monster, it's really exciting." ”

"Wait, wait......" Cole stammered, his mouth wide open, "aren't you scared at all? Your Majesty actually dealt with monsters, even if you were a devil, you wouldn't look like you say!"

"So what?" Edith spread her hands disapprehusely, "Isn't that a good thing?"

"A good thing?" Cole couldn't believe his ears, "Sister, you're okay, right?"

"Huh?"

"No, I mean ......"

She sighed, "Do you remember the purpose for us to serve His Majesty?"

"Because...... Higher powers?" Cole replied cautiously.

"Not accurate, but not miscalculated," Edith looked at him with burning eyes, "and power comes from vast lands and people, and if even the ancients, aliens, and even the devil are on Your Majesty's side, doesn't that mean that the power we can share can also extend beyond the human race?"

Cole gasped, apparently stunned by the statement.

"The petty nobles who run a village can call each of the people by name, but the lord of a town has a hard time doing this. The more complex the inhabitants of a territory, the larger the territory...... As for the king who brought foreign races under his rule, he had never appeared, and since the reason for leaving the northern border in the first place was that the duke's land was too narrow, why should he worry about such a thing now?"

Cole stood where he was, and it took a long time for Cole to come to his senses, "But ......"

"But they're different from us, aren't they?" Edith pouted, "As long as His Majesty is in the driver's seat, won't he be able to do whatever he wants." ”

Cole felt a chill in the heated room.

"Then then, it's your turn to pay it back," Northland Pearl said with a slight squint, pointing to her long skirt word by word, "Put it on and show me." ”
