Hearing several people talking, the woman sitting by the fireplace slowly turned her head, her gaze fell on Richard, with a joyful smile on her face.

“Richard, are you back?” she asked aloud with joy.

Richard followed his reputation and looked at this noble woman who had raised herself for nearly 20 years, smiling, and said: “I’m back, mother.”

“Oh , God bless!” The woman’s voice trembled slightly, Richard saw it, released the younger sister in his arms, walked quickly to the mother’s body, half-kneeled, and reached out to hold her cool hand. Softly said: “Mother, you don’t need to worry anymore, I have come back safely.”

“How could you not worry.” The old man glared at him, and held Richard’s hand with her backhand. I can clearly feel the scale of the cocoon on Richard’s palm, and she can’t help but feel a little distressed, saying: “You must have been fighting a lot in the past few months? The cocoon holding the sword is so thick.”

“This is also for Stay alive.” Richard laughed, like a child who has achieved grades and wants to show off to his parents, said: “Mother, I personally defeated the military commander of the Bailey people and captured their royal family members. If it wasn’t for bad luck, I can catch the king of the Bailey!”

“My child is really good.” The old man looked at his second son with relief, “Worthy of being a member of the Vareen family, and you Father is as brave.”

“The big brother is amazing.” Pamela also shouted admiringly, her eyes looking towards Richard shining like stars.

Hearing this, Basilio on the side could not help but interject: “Mother, you said this as if I were not brave.”

hearing this, old man People glared at him and tweeted: “You are ashamed to say that someday you will be able to capture the royal family members of the enemy country by yourself like Richard, I will use the same words to praise you.”

Basilio Naturally, I know that I have how many catties and how many taels. Although his battle skill is not defeated by Richard, he is not as bold as Richard. As the saying goes, the better, the richer the more he will spare his life, he is like this, unlike Richard That’s a bachelor.

Richard chuckled and said to the rescue: “Basilio is also very good. By the way, mother, I actually have something to ask you for help when I come back this time.”

“What’s the matter?” As soon as Richard said this, he turned the attention of several people to the help he said, and asked one after another.

“It is mainly a matter of the aristocratic house.” Richard considered the draft, and said: “I was nominated as one of the candidates for the new nobility of Niang, now the family of the Leliss and mother. The Fergus family decided to support me, and my friend returned to his hometown to lobby his big brother, Count Karlaus to stand on my side. When I came back, I wanted to ask you to support me at the meeting of the Noble House.”

“You mean, you might be promoted to earl?”

After a few seconds of silence, Basilio asked in disbelief.

Not only him, but even Richard’s old mother has an unbelievable look on his face. How long has he been away from home so that he will become an earl?

Is this a rocket?

Oh, they don’t know what the Rockets are, but this does not prevent them from being surprised at Richard’s promotion speed.

“This is what Duke Olsson of the Lelis family told me personally, Basilio, aren’t you also in the aristocratic house? Why don’t you know.” Richard asked suspiciously.

“Ah this…” Basilio choked and said: “Unless it is a meeting, I generally don’t care about things in the aristocratic courtyard. You know, there are old people in the aristocratic courtyard. Fox is difficult to deal with, and accidentally was sold.”

Richard nodded, Basilio then asked: “Richard, are you really a candidate?”

” If Duke Lelis didn’t lie to me, it should be.” Richard replied.

“That’s…it’s incredible.” Basilio said unspeakably.

Richard laughed and said: “It hasn’t been decided yet. I just entered the list of candidates, so I will come back and want to seek your help.”

hearing this Basilio did not hesitate. He patted his chest and said: “Richard, as your big brother, I will do my best to help you become a new earl, and if you can become an earl, the strength of our family will also increase. It’s cut off.”

At this moment, the old man who had not spoken suddenly spoke. She asked: “Richard, your grandpa will support you. I understand, but why is that Duke Lelis? Will you choose to support you?”

This question can be the point.

Richard slightly smiled, replied: “Before that, I had reached an alliance with the Duke of Lylis. As long as he could choose to support me, I would persuade the family to support him in the noble house, although he We didn’t become a candidate, but our alliance still exists.”

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.” The old man hooked the head and said: “Politics is not charity. Helping a little nobleman like you while gaining benefits, even if he wants the support of our family, it’s not justified. After all, our family’s power is not very big.”

Richard heard her say that, he also felt a little bit No, he always felt that Duke Olsson’s attitude towards him was a bit too good. Even if his father and the other party were friends, it is impossible to be so friendly to him as a junior. He felt that there was some clue, but he hadn’t paid attention to it. Now that he was singled out to speak, he hesitated.

“Then what should I do?” Richard chose to ask his old mother for help. Although she was only the countess, she knew everything about the exchanges and struggles between the nobles.

“Ignore him for now, I will invite a few family Chief-In-Charge who have been paid on weekdays before the meeting of the noble council. If I can get their help, don’t worry.”

The old man continued: “The House of Nobility is a place where the nobles of the kingdom can exchange, retreat, and ask for each other to maximize their family’s interests, but it’s not as unbearable as you think, as far as I know. , The newly conquered Nyon collars did not have much temptation for the nobles in the kingdom. Firstly, there are still a large number of heretic living there, which is difficult to rule. Secondly, there is the threat of war that may erupt in the future. Everything will come to nothing, no one wants to face it.”

“So, as long as you have the support of two or three families or more, then your position will be stable, and we The family has never been hostile to other families. They are unlikely to make trouble at this time-of course, we have to prepare for this situation just in case.”

Listen to the old In the words of mother, Richard only felt that he was suddenly enlightened, and he no longer worried so much about the meeting of the aristocracy in the future.
