Chapter 18 The Secret of F

As Louise said this, even though Caitlin's noble cultivation was good, she couldn't help but be shocked and stunned, and exclaimed. She could never have imagined that Zhou Ming's guess was really true?

On the other hand, Zhou Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Louise's words. After all, what he said was just his own guess. As Caitlin said, once he was wrong, they would really become lonely. But even so, Zhou Ming still had to gamble this, not only because Zhou Ming had confidence in him, but more importantly, he needed the initiative in things. Fortunately, Zhou Ming really bet right.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said to Louise: "Thank you very much for your tolerance, which made me finally convinced my judgment."

Zhou Ming's sudden words shocked Caitlin and Louise. They all looked at Zhou Ming blankly, and they never expected that he would say this. Caitlin, who reacted, kept pulling Zhou Ming's sleeves, seemed a little anxious because she didn't understand why Louise had already admitted it, so why did Zhou Ming say that? Isn't this sending back the momentum she had finally established for nothing?

Even Louise felt very puzzled: "I don't understand why you said this."

"Because I believe you must know that Your Highness Princess, I am gambling, Caitlin and me... or how much weight does Grand Duke Ferdinand have in you." Zhou Ming continued, "In the end, Your Highness Princess seems that you think we are all juniors, so I gave in to us and made an admission first; then if I don't show my sincerity at this time, I will be too ignorant."

Louise smiled: "It seems that my evaluation of you is also a very political mind in addition to my observational ability."

Louise said this, which obviously means that she agreed to Zhou Ming’s statement. Zhou Ming thanked Louise again, and then said: “I don’t think I am so politically wise. I am just better at facing reality. I will not fantasize about something, nor will I think I must be smarter than others. Others can’t guess what I can guess.”

"So that's it. It seems that the surprise you have to be discovered little by little." Louise said, "Then in return for your honesty, I can tell you an answer, why I want to fight for you as an ally, is the letter mark in Caitlyn's name."

“f?”

Although Zhou Ming had already guessed this answer before, it would still be shocked when Louise really said it with certainty.

"Aunt, what does this 'f' mean? Isn't he just a mark that represents the noble status of the family? Is there any unknown secret hidden besides this?" Caitlin asked.

Louise shook her head: "I'm sorry, my little princess, I don't know the secret hidden in this letter. I only know that in every generation of each family, at most two people will actually get the letter mark. The meaning of having this letter is that your name has been blessed by the Holy See and recorded."

"So in this way, if you want to truly inherit this family, you must get the letter mark of this f, right?" Zhou Ming asked.

Louise nodded and replied: "Yes, as long as you get the mark of this letter, you can easily get funds or other support from the Holy See. And the heaviest thing is,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) What you want is to have the power of the outside world. In other words, as long as you have the letter mark, it means that you have been the maker of the rules of the game from the beginning. If I say so, you will understand, right?"

Zhou Ming and Caitlin both nodded to show their understanding. After all, Louise has already said this to this point, and it would be really stupid if she doesn't understand it again.

It's like an Olympic Games. There will always be some referees who have the right to speak for the rules of the game. They say that the rules are what they say. And these people with letter marks are these referees. As for others, they are ordinary athletes. Athletes can get better results through their own efforts, but the final result is still up to the referee.

Such a metaphor may not be completely appropriate, but at least it also vividly illustrates the relationship. After all, wealth can be obtained through hard work, but the right to speak is not just effort.

It is precisely for this reason that Louise hopes to form an alliance with Caitlin, and she is attracted by this.

Zhou Ming suddenly thought of another question: "Your Highness, you just said that in every generation of a family, two people will actually get this letter mark, right? Then, besides Caitlin, the other one is Andre, right?"

Louise was a little surprised: "Your reaction is really fast, but the facts are not that simple. A long time ago, in order to prevent the killing of each other in the family, two letter marks of one real and one virtual are usually set. Usually, this is also the highest ranking heir of the family, and the highest ranking heirs will usually have more priority than the lower one."

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said that, then Louise said again: "It seems that all the smart ones have understood, so you agree to this invitation to alliance, right?"

"What's the price?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked, "There has never been a free lunch in the world. Any olive branch we throw out when we have nothing must have a strong purpose. Even if you are Caitlin's aunt, you are Caitlin's aunt, it is impossible to be exempted from this point. In this meeting, can you help Caitlin regain the inheritance rights of the Harrusburg family, then what is the reward you will receive?"

"Share." Louise replied, "My royal family needs to share the privileges of the Harrusburg family in the Holy See."

Zhou Ming was a little confused about Louise's answer: "Why do you need to share it? Does your current royal family have no such privilege?"

Louise smiled apologetically: "I think I have answered enough questions, so as a gentleman, you should answer my questions next, or do you accept this covenant?"

Faced with this problem, Zhou Ming said: "I'm very sorry for Your Highness, can I discuss it with my wife alone?"

"Of course." Louise answered as expected. She raised her hand and pointed Zhou Ming in the right direction. "Then is my study. You can discuss it there, or can I go there to help you find a book you want to read?"

"No need, I think we'll go over."

After Zhou Ming said that, he pulled Caitlin up and went to the study of the presidential suite. During the whole process, Caitlin was pulled away by Zhou Ming, and his whole state was obviously still at a loss.

"I know what happened today is very exaggerated to you, and the amount of information contained in these things is also very large, and it is difficult for you to digest for a while, but now we have to make a decision,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Should I give up the alliance with your aunt Louise... or the royal family behind her." Zhou Ming reminded her again, "After all, you are the heir to the Harrusburg family. No matter what our relationship is, I cannot make this decision on your behalf."

Caitlin shook her head: "I don't know what kind of decision to make. I used to think I was very smart and no one could compare to me, but after this period of time, I realized that my past thoughts were so stupid!"

"It's not like that. In fact, when I was in Brighton, I was very troubled by your plan. In the end, I had to ask you to come out and talk, so whether I admit it or not, you are smarter than me." Zhou Ming emphasized again, "I'm not saying this to comfort you, but I want to tell you that you have bound your mind. Many times, you are more courageous and throw away some useless persistence. I believe you can discover another world."

"As for me, don't think too much of my thoughts. In fact, I am just a scoundrel. At most, I just met more people." Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming said this really not to comfort Caitlin. After all, after two lifetimes, she first made great changes in psychology. At the same time, she faced people like Mr. Yang and even the US president head-on, so she naturally understood many things, but Caitlin is different. She is only 21 years old this year, and no matter how genius is, she cannot do these things.

Caitlin breathed a sigh of relief, she tried to throw away some useless thoughts as Zhou Ming said, and then quickly recalled what happened today in her mind.

After a while, Caitlin looked up and asked Zhou Ming, "So Zhou Ming, do you want me to accept my aunt's covenant, right?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "It seems that you really understand. If I don't accept it, just veto it on the spot. There is no need to discuss it at all. Only if I think it is acceptable will I need to discuss it with you."

"But we don't understand the meaning behind this letter mark. I think that since my aunt, or the royal family behind her, is willing to spend such a great price to help us, this meaning must be very difficult." Caitlin continued, "And Zhou Ming, didn't you just say that it was because of my father's death that my aunt turned to me? Then I think she must have talked to my father about this deal."

"Or they started talking a long time ago, but my father's situation has not improved. I think my father definitely did not agree. This means that the meaning behind this letter is not simple. So would we agree so easily, be too reckless?" Caitlin asked carefully.

Zhou Ming said to Caitlin: "I have considered all of what you said, but I think it's because your ideas are biased."

Caitlin was stunned at the time. She stared at Zhou Ming with her beautiful big eyes, completely unable to understand what was wrong with her father's ideas.

"If the meaning of this letter is your last trump card, then you have to consider it, but the most critical question now is, is the Harrusburg family still in your control?" Zhou Ming asked, "Since it is no longer there, what's wrong with us making this deal with what we have lost? If we can't even bear to let go of this, then what else can we talk about turning the tables in adversity?"

"If we finally find that this sharing is a disadvantage, we can discuss this chip again, right?" Zhou Ming said.
