Chapter 197

"Sir prio, thank you for accepting my bold visit despite your busy schedule."

In the study of the manor, zilnaed was sitting in awe.

"Introduce yourself again. I'm Nessie zierned, major of the French navy and captain of the class VI lucky horseshoe. My ship is under the command of the new continental fleet and now serves in its Atlantic Defense Fleet."

"My birth..." zilnaed changed his tone. "I was born in Colmar, Alsace. My ancestors were knighted during his majesty XIV. As an important vassal of count Dadis, I was famous in the Upper Rhine generation."

"However, the ancestors of previous generations fought all year round and made many sacrifices. The family often faced the situation that the young master succeeded to the throne and the fiefdom must be entrusted. In the past, they inevitably fell into a bad name of a family who was not good at business."

"About before and after I was born, our patriarch, the count Dadis family, lost his heir, and the fief was recovered by the secondary Parliament. As a vassal of the count family, my family received a comprehensive evaluation. Not only was it forced to change the court to swear allegiance to his majesty, but also the fief was reduced from a small town with more than 400 households to a small village with only 12 households."

"My family has come down in the world. By the time my father inherited the title, he was so poor that he was no different from ordinary farmers."

Zilned laughed at himself: "I didn't receive any form of education in my childhood. I was good at growing wheat and milking milk. When I was four years old, I could catch squirrels with self-made traps, and I succeeded more than once."

"This life lasted until the age of six. My father was expelled from the military because of his mistake of returning home without authorization during busy farming, and we lost our most important source of livelihood."

"In order for the seven members of the family to survive, my father returned the noble title, abandoned the loyal collar people, sold the family's ancestral house and all the property that could not be taken away, moved the family to Martinique as a pioneer, and bought a small plantation with only 100 mu of land."

"Life has settled down again. Although we live in poverty and hardship because we can't afford slaves, at least we don't need to worry about insufficient food. I also grow up healthily and safely from the age of seven to the age of twelve."

"At the age of twelve, pirates attacked." zilned calmly told, just like a bystander telling a world tragedy that had nothing to do with himself. "Except for me and my little sister who went to pick wild berries in the woods at that time, everyone died. It was the Navy patrolling nearby that expelled the pirates and accidentally saved my life."

"This is the of my life." in the next ten years, I began to work hard. I experienced 127 naval battles, 66 victories and no defeat. My military rank was promoted from a small lieutenant to a major, and I went to a high position of real power that many noble children dare not even think of. "

"However, invincibility doesn't change anything. Four years ago, I competed for the post of lieutenant colonel with a colleague whose achievements and abilities are far lower than mine, and I was defeated. This defeat made me think I had seen through everything. I took the initiative to apply for transfer to the calm Atlantic Defense Fleet, began to pursue enjoyment, and no longer insisted on Promotion..."

"Until I met the adult."

Zierned smiled freely and gratefully: "my Lord told me that rigid aristocrats only recognize their origin. If I have the ambition to become a general, the first thing I need to improve is my origin."

"So... Sir prio, I love Miss Emily deeply. Even if she doesn't love me, I hope to be her companion all her life."

"I am willing to be a burden! Abandon your surname, abandon your family, take your noble surname as your surname, take the interests of the prio family as the foundation, be loyal all your life and never break the sentence!"

"This is also very good for you. You are the regional speaker of a remote town. You have no foundation in the military and politics, and you have no son to inherit the family business. You have only three daughters, but we all know that women can't keep the family business, and the world... Is still a man's world."

The long speech was finally over, and zierned seemed to be relieved of his strength and could no longer stand upright.

He softened wearily, panting, word by word.

"I've shown all my cards, sir. I hope this will make you feel my sincerity, and then... Please tell me your answer!"

There was a moment of silence in the study.

It used to be that zilnaede didn't give Sir prio space to speak. Now space is everywhere, but Sir doesn't know how to start.

Identity.

The Atlantic Defense Fleet is the guardian and reliance of all ports along the pan Atlantic coast of Martinique. It is the only regular maritime armed force.

As the real power captain in control of the lucky horseshoe, zilned is not as humble as he said. Everyone with reason and judgment knows that his influence in the town is not lower than that of the nominal speaker.

It was a good thing for Sir prio to win over such a person, but zilned was too sincere and modest, and the Sir lost his sense of reality.

First of all, we must confirm his sincerity!

Sir considered his words with such an idea: "Mr. major, although I have heard some strange rumors these days, to be honest, I have never tried to make them come true."

"Do you think I spread those rumors?"

"At least most of it. I heard that your adjutant protested to the mayor because of some rumors that hurt your reputation."

Zilned simply shook his head: "believe it or not, those rumors have nothing to do with me. I only know that someone is trying to help me, someone is trying to harm me, and someone is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The behind of this matter is very complex and people can't see it for a moment."

Sir prio raised his eyebrows in surprise: "assuming that those rumors really have nothing to do with you, what reason do you have to choose Ernie, or the prio family."

"Love, of course."

"You keep saying love, but with all due respect, I didn't hear your love for Ernie from your long speech."

"It's love." zilned looked solemn. "I love your daughter, wealth and power. Your daughter is the intersection of all desires and the only choice worthy of all my efforts."

Jazz's face was more strange.

"Although I don't want to say that, Martinique has many people richer than me, people more noble than me, car capacity, and I'm not even the most powerful person in Leland... As for Ernie's beauty, I don't think that should be your consideration."

"Why ask, sir?" zilned sighed disappointed. "Miss Emily is the best choice. Her value is not brought to her by the prio family, but from the wish of another noble man. It is the same for me and you. Miss Emily will become a fetter between us and that noble man."

"The noble man?"

"Mr. ziegfei nallo, I still don't know his identity. He disdains to say that others don't want to tell me. But in my opinion, you should know his identity. There are also Mr. Renault and many celebrities in the town. For them, Mr. nallo's identity should not be a secret."

"Narlow... Sir," said Sir, staring fixedly at zilned, "Sir, does the captain mean that your union with Ernie is his expectation?"

"Yes, sir personally told me that I hope I can give Miss Emily loyalty and happiness. That's Mr's kindness. I can only get the expected reward if I give everything to meet Mr's wishes."

"This... Really surprised me."

Sir prio stood up and paced, one or two times.

On the sixth lap, he stopped: "Captain... Zirne... NESI, I remember Mr. nallo's ship has left the port?"

"About an hour and a half ago." zilned glanced at his pocket watch. "I watched Mr.'s ship enter the night."

"In that case... I'd like to meet your wishes, and the prios welcome an outstanding son-in-law like you, but it's not a decision I can make. Ernie is sad in the room. If we want to achieve Mr. nallo's wishes, you need to convince her yourself."
