Sir Wendell smiled and turned his head slightly towards the corner.
"Maybe we should find a place with few people to communicate."
Paul hesitated for a moment, nodded, and followed Sir Wendell to the corner.
The two clinked a glass and took a sip each.
"It's really enviable!"
Sir Wendell stroked his mustache and complimented: "Her Highness Catherine is a rare beauty. I think Earl, you have become the public enemy of more than half of Jingyao boys."
"But..." There was a look of doubt on his face again.
"But what?" Paul asked.
"Uh...it's nothing! I think the earl can handle those little things with ease!"
Wendell smiled.
"Small things?"
What exactly is he trying to say?
Paul frowned slightly, "Sir Wendell, can you tell me about these little things?"
"Oh, all right!"
Sir Wendell sighed slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "I heard that the relationship between our Majesty the King and his sister, Princess Catherine... is a bit awkward!"
What? Paul felt alarmed.
Did they...
"Jingyao has always been rumored that the old king originally wanted to pass the throne to his daughter—Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine."
Sir Wendell moved closer to Paul and began to explain in a small voice.
"You know, our Highness Princess is not inferior to men at all. She can handle government affairs and military affairs very well. She even fought against Duke Giles on the battlefield before."
"So it's quite normal for the old king to have this thought. But..."
"I don't know why the throne still fell into the hands of His Majesty the King."
"Hey! With such a powerful younger sister, His Majesty the King must have some grudges..."
Sir Wendell spilled the truth, seemingly casually.
"Ha, don't take it to heart, these are actually rumors without a trace. In short, congratulations on picking the pearl of the kingdom."
call! Paul breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was what Wendell was going to say.
Seeing Paul's reaction, Wendell felt a little strange, why did Paul Greiman turn into a relaxed face.
Knowing that he has been caught in a struggle for the highest power, at least he should panic, right?
"Sir Wendell!"
Paul smiled and said: "Thank you for telling me these things, I will... take a good look at it! But I believe that everyone hopes that this country will develop in a good direction, am I right?"
"Haha, you're right!"
Sir Wendell said with a little embarrassment, after all, he was sent by a lord who started a rebellion not long ago.
Seeing that his words didn't have the expected effect, he changed the subject.
"Grand Duke Giles has always been a fan of all kinds of fine things from the North West Gulf!"
"Oh, the paper you make is really convenient! And those exquisite porcelains have become standard decorations in noble mansions."
Paul raised the wine glass in his hand and touched him.
"It is our honor, and we will continue to serve all distinguished guests with 200% enthusiasm."
Wendell took a sip and said: "Our Grand Duke—His Excellency Giles, has always hoped to make friends with you and form a sincere friendship!"
Paul looked surprised: "Oh? Did my little misfortune reach the ears of Grand Duke Giles?"
"Oh hoo hoo hoo!" Wendell laughed, "The merchant ships in your territory have almost filled our port. Seeing those strange merchant ships that can come and go freely at sea without oars and oarsmen , anyone will be interested in the masters behind them."
"I'm glad our business is so close."
Wendell looked at him quietly, "In fact, we can be closer, not just in business."
"Cough!" Paul cleared his throat lightly, "Of course, it should be, after all... we are all the lords of Aldo, aren't we?"
Paul was emphatic on Aldo.
Wendell smiled and gently raised the glass.
"Nice to meet you, Earl Graham!"
He knows that some things cannot be rushed.
"Nice to meet you too, Sir Wendell!"
Paul and he drained their respective glasses.
"What did the people from Giles say to you?"
To Paul's surprise, Catherine came to him on her own initiative.
"Uh, some nice words!"
Paul replied with a relaxed face.
"He said that the people there liked things from the Northwest Gulf and wanted to continue to strengthen trade."
"Hmph!" Catherine seemed a little annoyed when Giles was mentioned.
She said bitterly: "That is a great shame in my life!"
"What?"
"He started a rebellion, and I let that guy get away with it so far, and I can't do anything about it."
This is the same as what Paul knew. When Catherine led the army to counter the rebellion in the south, it seemed that she didn't win very thoroughly It can even be said that Giles won the inside.
After all, all the lords on that piece of land belonged to him.
"Perhaps...you can make things easier for yourself..."
Although the beauty's frowning look was pretty, Paul thought it would be better to comfort her.
"Easy life? I really want to!"
Catherine shook her head, her expression was a bit sad and beautiful.
She slowly lowered her head again.
"Maybe, when I get to the Northwest Bay, I will live that kind of life."
There is no army to train, no government affairs to deal with, and I can only be an ordinary noble woman.
On weekdays, I plant some flowers and plants, trim the lawn, and organize an afternoon tea party with other noble women when I have nothing to do, and occasionally go to see theater performances together.
This day seems to be quite comfortable.
"It's a beautiful place." Paul smiled. "I think you'll like Northwest Bay."
Catherine looked at Paul with mixed feelings in her heart.
In any case, the man in front of him is the man who will spend his whole life with him.
"G...Paul."
She whispered Paul's name.
"Oh, Your Highness."
"Just call me Catherine from now on."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"You should live in Jingyao for a while, right?"
Hearing Catherine's question, Paul nodded, "Yes, it's the first time I've left the Northwest Bay so far, and I want to learn more about the outside world."
A blush appeared on Catherine's face, "Then... I hope we can see each other more in the future."
Hehe, it was the first time that Paul saw this princess in military uniform showing such a lovely expression.
"I hope so, Your Highness."
"It's all said..."
"Catherine!"
