Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 69 Kate Marquis
PS: Thanks to the dark knight zyf for the reward, and there is also a suggestion from book friend 0622. There is a suitable opportunity to correct it. The other is the issue of Joseph I or Ragnar III. This is indeed my mistake. Similarly, I will correct it when I find a suitable opportunity.

Just when Joseph was in a daze, the Earl of Liverpool suddenly asked, "Does Nord have its own football club?"

"There was a club before World War II, but all these years..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, the result is obvious. The Earl of Liverpool nodded and said nothing. He wanted to ask about the level of Nord's team.
Christie's Auction House: Founded in London by James Christie in 1766, it is the oldest art auction house in the world. On December 1766, 12, James Christie's held his first auction in London; since then, Christie's auction house has been committed to providing customers with high-quality and sophisticated services.Steady, articulate and humorous, James Christie's transformed auctioning into a refined art and produced some of the most important sales in the 5th and 18th centuries.

Regardless of past and present lives, Christie's auction house has left a deep impression on Joseph, and the only one that can match it may be the legendary oldest auction house, Sotheby's auction house.

In comparison, Christie’s auction house is relatively young, and its main audience is the new generation of rich people, while Sotheby’s main customers are some nobles, old-fashioned manor owners and the like.Of course, this is just the majority. Tonight's Christie's gathered a lot of nobles.

It was still too early, and Joseph and the Earl of Liverpool came to the western restaurant next to the auction house for dinner. It could be seen that the Earl of Liverpool was a regular customer here, and the waiter greeted him respectfully as soon as he entered the door.

"Good evening, Earl of Liverpool, little gentleman."

"Good evening, little Vitas, but you made a mistake. This is not a little gentleman. You can call him Your Highness."

Although the Earl of Liverpool did not disclose Joseph's identity, the waiter was slightly surprised by His Royal Highness's sound, but fortunately, his professionalism kept his face calm, and he saluted again with apology.

"I also like the title of Mr., but it's better not to use the small characters next time. After all, no man likes others to say that he is small."

Such a joke from a cute little guy caught people's attention, and a beautiful lady passing by couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"It turned out to be Marquis Kate."

"Good evening, Earl of Liverpool."

The beautiful lady turned out to be a Marquis, and seeing the Earl of Liverpool's attitude seemed to be very unusual, Joseph couldn't help but pay more attention.

With a straight nose and slightly three-dimensional facial features, she looks like a very resolute woman. There is a little greenness and immaturity on her fair face, indicating that she is not very old.

For the first time, Joseph listed her among his candidates for the princess, older?What does it matter if you are older, Edward VIII of England still likes to be several years older than himself.

"Hello, pretty Marquess Kate."

"Hello, dear little Duke."

Kate's obviously teasing words made Joseph very helpless, but he didn't see the surprise of the Earl of Liverpool at all. Didn't the Marquis of Kate always have a cold face to others, and he was so talkative today?

The Earl of Liverpool doesn't even think about it, he will naturally not be happy with you old guys, Joseph looks cute, and women generally don't have much resistance to cute creatures.

Kate misunderstood Joseph's identity, but neither Joseph nor the Earl of Liverpool meant to explain. Joseph was too lazy to explain and the Earl of Liverpool felt that there was no need to take the initiative to explain.

What Joseph needs is a group of allies, and although Kate's family is also very powerful in the UK, she is a woman and cannot be changed. Moreover, most of the family affairs are taken care of by Kate's uncle, and the two parties have no acquaintance. necessary.

It was a matter of nodding and saying hello before leaving, but at this moment Joseph said: "I wonder if I can invite the beautiful Marquis to have dinner together?"

Strangeness flashed in Marquis Kate's eyes, but she didn't hesitate too much. She glanced at the Earl of Liverpool next to Joseph and said with a smile: "If there is no Earl of Liverpool, I think I will be very happy to accept the invitation of the Little Duke."

The Earl of Liverpool's face was very gloomy. Of course he could tell that this was a joke from Marquis Kate, but just at this time he saw a few old friends who also participated in the auction, and he was not interested in having dinner with a child, so he hurriedly replied : "Since I am so unpopular, Joseph will leave it to you."

Kate did not expect such a result, but before she could speak again, Joseph had already walked forward with a smile, and Marquis Kate had no choice but to follow.

Looking at the backs of the two, the Earl of Liverpool shook his head and walked in the direction of his old friend, completely unaware of what a chance meeting today and his just departure would bring to the future Nord Principality.

"Are you Prince Christian of Denmark?"

I thought that Kate could hold back for a long time, who would have thought that Kate couldn't help asking as soon as she separated from the Earl of Liverpool, but the inquiry was an inquiry, but Joseph was not ready to tell her right away.

"No, why don't you guess my identity?"

"Not Prince Christian of Denmark, then you are Prince Joan of the Netherlands?"

His Royal Highness is not the name of the Duke, so Kate suspected that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly named a Dutch prince of the same age who had recently come to the UK, but she still shook her head without thinking of Joseph.

This time it was difficult for Kate. Although she was an upper-class nobleman in London, the real power was not in her own hands. She was not very clear about the royal families of various countries. The dukes and princes of some small countries are really hard to guess!

"My name is Joseph, Lord Kate."

Joseph, yes, the Earl of Liverpool called him Joseph just now. The name sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it. It's so annoying!
"Are you the Grand Duke of the Principality of Nord?"

Just when Kate was about to show her mentality as a little girl, she suddenly saw the brand on her backpack, which she bought from a luxury leather bag store in Nord, and Kate immediately remembered how familiar Joseph was.It's just that she was a little surprised. Although Nordland is not very big, its influence in Europe must not be low. There is no reason for the arrival of such a grand duke without media coverage!

As if knowing what she was thinking, Joseph whispered, "I came to London in a private capacity and informed the government and the royal family."

When they were talking, the two had already sat down in the dining chairs facing each other. Kate was also a frequent customer here, and she quoted a few British dishes and French staple foods that Joseph was not familiar with without looking at the menu.

"The Nord royal family is very rich, I will not save on this meal."

Kate with a bit of naughtiness is undoubtedly full of style, but Joseph did not know that there are very few people who can see this side of Kate.

The family affairs and the people she came into contact with made it difficult for her to relax. Joseph's status was comparable to hers or even surpassed hers, but the difficulty was that a cute child, although there was some difference in age, spoke very relaxedly.Under such circumstances, she will naturally show movements and expressions that are suitable for her age that she has not shown in the past.

"Kate, how old are you?"

Kate didn't think much about Joseph's question, and answered casually while playing with her fingers: "Joseph, didn't someone tell you not to ask girls' ages casually? This is impolite behavior."

Halfway through the talk, seeing Joseph's ugly face, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "Just kidding, sister, I just became an adult this year, and now I am a top student at the Harvard School of Business Administration."

When talking about the Harvard School of Management, Kate looked proud. With the gradual rise of the status of the United States, some European aristocrats also began to go to the United States, especially the school choice for the children of the aristocrats. After all, the business atmosphere in the United States is very strong.
