Chapter 18 The Earl of Singhra
Early in the morning, Joseph got up and walked downstairs as the servant was busy. The butler Abner was already standing respectfully at the dining table waiting. After saying hello, Joseph began to bury his head to have breakfast.
A glass of milk and a piece of bread are all Joseph's meals, but today's condition is a little different. Joseph clearly saw Abner opening his mouth to speak, but for some reason he didn't speak.
It seemed as if he saw Joseph frowning, and hesitated for a while, Abner still spoke: "Your Highness, Count Singra wanted to visit you last night, but because you were already resting at that time, I asked him to rest in the hotel..."
"Earl Singra?"
"Yes, your cousin Earl Singra."
"Cousin?"
Joseph became more and more confused, because there was never any news about these relatives in his memory. At this moment, a cousin suddenly appeared. It was not surprising that Joseph was a little stunned.
"Earl Singra is the old Count inherited three years ago. The relationship between the old Count and His Highness Ragna II is not very good, so it has not been mentioned, but he is undoubtedly your cousin."
Joseph was not in a good mood. Anyone who suddenly appeared like this would probably be like this, especially the other party was qualified to inherit your title. Of course, Joseph would never admit that this was the thing he was most worried about.
"Singer, my cousin is the earl of which country."
"The Earl of Spain, my Highness, his mother was the daughter of a Spanish duke, and the old Count won the title of that duke's daughter."
"So, my uncle is a soft-hearted person?"
Abner didn't know the meaning of being a soft meal, but from Joseph's appearance, it can be seen that this was not a good thing, so there was no interface. After all, it was the master and he was just a servant. As a servant, he had to look like a servant. This was his bottom line.
Unfortunately, Joseph did not like Abner's bottom line very much. What he wanted was not a pedantic butler but a servant who was absolutely loyal to him. However, Abner was an old man from the Ragna family after all, and Joseph frowned and said nothing.
"Did he say something was wrong with me?"
"No, but it seems that Count Singra did not seem to have lived in Spain with food trade, and he seemed to like Nord very much."
I seem to like Nord very much. This sentence means a lot. It may be just like you, but it may also mean that you want to stay here. However, it is obvious that Joseph absolutely does not allow such things to happen.
"Abner, to be honest, although I have never met this cousin, I don't like him very much."
"Your Highness, I don't like Count Singra either, but he is also a member of the Ragna family."
As if he saw what Joseph meant, Abner had to remind Joseph carefully, saying that some words could be done, but the impact would be unknown after doing it. However, one thing is very clear that Joseph would be suppressed by the French government using this as a gap.
Abner's reminder was effective. He hesitated and gave up his thoughts. Indeed, many things cannot be done now. After all, the Principality of Nord has not yet reached the time to ignore any country. The most important thing is that Joseph does not have a reliable ally.
Huaxia? Huaxia may be reliable, but the distance is too far and once it is related to Huaxia, it will be even more unfavorable to Nord. After all, the Principality of Nord is still in Europe.
He waved his hand a little upset and asked Abner to go down, but when Abner said goodbye and left, he suddenly said, "Let the guards inform my cousin, I'm going to invite him to have breakfast together."
Abna was stunned and soon reacted and told the guards with tight steps. Unconsciously, a sense of sorrow appeared on Abna's face, which made the servants and guards in the palace nervous all day, fearing that they would offend the butler accidentally.
When the guard arrived at the hotel, the cousin of Joseph of the Grand Duke of Nord was lying on the soft big bed and playing, two beautiful Mediterranean beauties were playing intimately with him naked.
"Sir Earl, His Highness Joseph wants to invite you to have breakfast."
The sudden knock on the door made Singra very unhappy. Even if it was an invitation from his cousin he had been begging for last night, it also made him unhappy. However, if he was unhappy, the opportunity finally came. He didn't want to miss it, especially if he didn't want the cousin to leave a bad impression on him.
"I didn't say anything, right? I've told you that Joseph was my cousin, but you still don't believe it. The Nord family still has one, if not..."
As if he was talking about something that he could not say, Singra suddenly closed her mouth and smiled embarrassedly at the two beauties, hurriedly put on her clothes and ran outside. It was hard to imagine that a middle-aged fat man could run so fast.
In fact, Singra's relationship with Joseph was a bit complicated. He was really the grandson of Ragna I's younger brother. However, because he died early, Singra's father has been with Ragna I since childhood. There is a saying that Singra said right, and he really has the same title as the founding of the Principality of Nord.
The old Count is no more a pure playboy than his son. Although he was indeed a little confused after middle age, he was also a young talent in France when he was young. Otherwise, there would not be a daughter of the Duke of Spain. You must know that he did not have a title at that time.
Before World War II, the population of the Principal of Nord was nearly 100,000, and most of the credit should be attributed to the old earl. After graduating from the Cambridge School of Management, he really paid a lot of effort to the Principal of Nord. Logically speaking, the old earl should have stayed in Nord forever and should not go to Spain to live.
Here we will talk about Joseph's grandfather, Ragner I. That old guy is not a good person. By the way, if he is a good person, he would not be the founder of a country. Of course, if he is a good person, Ragner I can be considered a rare good person compared to people like Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shihuang.
When the country was established and everything was developing in a good direction, Ragna I began to drive away and suppress heroes. This was actually a necessary process for a country to prepare for future generations.
Ragna's approach was very gentle, but no matter how gentle it was, he could not get rid of this essence. It was the old Count who saw this situation and, as the biggest threat to Nord's heir, had no choice but to marry the daughter of the Duke of Spain, whom he did not like very much, and obtained a knighthood in Spain to settle down.
Of course, the old earl did not tell Singra about these things, otherwise Singra would not be in this state at this time, but this is also a good thing. Joseph is not a good person either. If he realized Singra's attitude, he would not have the chance to leave Nord alive.
The prince violates the law and the common people. This is just a matter of saying. Who would allow the real person in power to infringe on his own interests? In Nord Joseph, it is the law. There may be no difference between killing a person and eating and drinking water. Of course, the impact of the murder is another matter.
With a little nervousness, Singra followed the guards to the palace in a straight suit, but his obese figure was not matched with his clothes.
Abner had already been waiting at the door, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he looked a little nervous. Abner knew about the things that happened back then, although he was only at the same age as Joseph now.
"Mr. Singra, Your Highness is waiting for you in the restaurant."
"Okay, okay, lead the way."
From here, we can see that Singra's life in Spain was not very good, because he was a little embarrassed when he saw the not too luxurious palace.
Bright corridors, well-known or unknown oil paintings on the corridor walls, all of which show the wealth of the owners here. Of course, Singra didn't know that these oil paintings were only hung recently, and they were still bare a few months ago.
