Starting Life as a Baron

"Sir, you are finally back!"

Butler Edward had been waiting at the gate of the castle for a long time, and there was still a layer of snow on him.

"Grandpa Edward? How did you come out?

Alan approached quickly, and there were some curious questions.

"Sir, Lord Albert is here."

Butler Edward said softly: "The lord seems to be in a hurry.

Alan nodded when he heard the words: "Grandpa Edward, I understand, let's go, go back and have a look.

The two returned to Sirius Castle one after the other, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Earl Albert sitting on the sofa in the hall.

At this moment, the Count is no longer as calm and calm as he used to be.

At this moment, Lord Earl's eyes are red, bloodshot, his face is full of stubble, and his expression is haggard. It seems that he has not taken care of his appearance for a long time.

This made Alan a little surprised, knowing that the count had instilled aristocratic etiquette in him since he was a child.

As a noble, how can you allow yourself to show a sloppy side?

Alan had never seen Albert like this in sixteen years.

This made him a little surprised, but he could understand the other party's mood at the moment.

It was only two weeks before the turmoil, and the situation in the north should have been completely hidden. Except for those who had been prepared for a long time, the others in the Principality of Lane suddenly knew that the situation in the north had reached the point of urgency and their eyebrows were burning. Of course, they immediately responded. Get nervous.

The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger among the subordinate principalities of Norton Kingdom, and war is about to break out.

This is not an ordinary national war, but a complete national melee. In this situation, any noble will start to worry about it just like Albert.

This is not without reason. The continent is incomparably vast, with numerous principalities and many kingdoms.

Among them, some kingdoms were turbulent, and the affiliated principalities were destroyed.

This is even more terrifying than the news that Alan informed him before that the Principality of Shake and the Principality of Lane are about to have a national war.

After the earl spent a few days to confirm that the news he received was not wrong, the whole person was stunned.

After thinking about it, Albert only thought of Alan.

In this case, no one else deserves Albert's trust, only Alan can make him absolutely trust.

"Alan, you heard about the North!"

When Albert saw Alan, he immediately stood up and asked.

Alan smiled slightly: "Father, you are not decent today. Nobles are people who keep their faces in the face of pressure and maintain their elegant demeanor. This is what you said, have you forgotten?

Alan's words surprised Albert for a moment, and then the earl showed a wry smile and a helpless look.

"Alan, it's useless to stop talking about it, now I only trust you."

Albert said solemnly.

Alan was slightly surprised when he heard this. You must know that even Albert didn't believe in Alan's idea before.

"It is an honor to have your trust.

Alan smiled and said to Albert: "My father shouldn't have eaten dinner, right? Grandpa Edward, prepare dinner, father, do you have anything you want to eat?

Albert doesn't have anything special to eat, even he has no appetite at all now, the only thing he wants to do now is to discuss countermeasures with Alan.

Now in the entire duchy, all the nobles are in danger, and Grand Duke Ryan has no energy to manage the counts.

However, due to the reason that the news was blocked, even if these counts wanted to make a fuss, they didn't have enough time to accumulate strength.

Therefore, Archduke Ryan can also deal with other issues with confidence.

"Earl Albert?"

Lei Xue came down from the upstairs and looked at Albert with some surprise.

"His Royal Highness!

Albert was also stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted.

"Alan, don't call me for dinner! 99

Lyche nodded at Albert, then glared at Alan.

It's a shame that I deliberately waited for this guy to come back for dinner!

Alan raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, I said it before, you can eat it yourself. 35

Lai Xue pouted and said nothing.

Albert returned to his seat, looked at Lei Xue and then at Alan, his bloodshot eyes regained some vigour.

Then Alan watched Albert wink at himself.

To be honest, after Alan became an earl, Albert became less and less formal in front of him.

Because Leslie was there, Albert did not say anything about the current situation in the Principality. After dinner, Albert and Alan entered the study together.

"Alan, why is His Royal Highness Lacey here with you?"

Albert immediately questioned.

"Prince Lennarsen sent me to protect her.

Alan said casually, and he brought Albert a cup of black tea.

"So you already know the situation in the duchy?"

Albert's eyes widened.

"Yes, I knew it long ago, about four months ago. 35

Alan nodded in unabashed acknowledgment.

"Then why didn't you tell me!"

Albert has some grudges.

"That's not right, Father, but I reminded you twice, the first time is when your mind is full of bikinis. 35

Alan said leisurely, in a calm tone: "I reminded you when I was outside Sirius Castle, but you didn't care too much, and then I wrote to tell you about the Principality of Shake, so that you can prepare early. what, you're not ready? 99

Albert was stunned when he heard the words. For the first time, he reminded him to tell the truth that he still remembered that there was such a thing, but he quickly forgot about it.

As for the second time...

"Can the Principality of Shake be compared with the current situation of the southern countries?"

Albert rolled his eyes and said.

"Father, our Principality of Lane is at the southernmost point, and we are at the southernmost point of the Principality of Lane. Except for a few earls at sea, no one is farther from the center of chaos than us. Instead of worrying about the chaos of the kingdom, I suggest you consider Shake. The matter of the Principality, after all, the Principality of Shake is by our side.

Alan said calmly while drinking tea.

"The Principality of Shake? Could it be that they still want to fight our country at this time?"

Albert frowned slightly.

"It is precisely because of this time that Archduke Shake wants to fight with our country, because in times of peace, we are allies.

Alan spoke meaningfully.

When Albert heard the words, 543's pupils shrank. It was true. Only when there was chaos would the Principality of Shake have the opportunity to attack the Principality of Lane.

Damn it, those pigs!

"I have recruited a lot of warriors before, but in this situation, I can only feel powerless, the nobles are holding each other together, and there is no idea of ​​unity, the chaos in the north, and the Principality of Shake in the east.

Speaking of which, Albert had some despair: "Is the Principality of Lane over?

Alan curled his lips: "Father, even if the Principality of Ryan is over, we will not be over, so what? Do you want to join the alliance? After all, you are also a golden knight, so you have some strength and fighting power."

Alan spoke calmly.

"Alliance? Alan, do you think our alliance can resist the army of the Principality of Shake?"

Albert frowned slightly.

"How do you know if you don't try?

Alan smiles right.

Albert didn't talk too much. He came here this time to seek help. The alliance is indeed the best way now. He and Alan can absolutely trust each other, which is much better than other nobles.

Although the other nobles in the group are grouped together on the surface, no one knows what their attitude is in the dark.

"How about we win over a few more nobles? Wouldn't the power of the two of us be too weak?'

Albert frowned slightly.

"No, the two of us are enough."

Alan shook his head and said.

"I can't trust the people around me.
