Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Chapter 325: : center of power

When Shane came in, he saw the surprise on Claire's face, "Claire, why are you here, and you didn't tell me, so I can send someone to pick you up."

Claire smiled slightly, "I've been here so many times, and I'm familiar with the way. Someone will be sent to pick me up."

After Xia En took off his coat and put it away, he sat on the sofa and asked, "Why do you have time to come to the capital? I remember that you had a battle with the lord near your territory a few days ago. Well, shouldn't you be taking over their compensation now?"

"Reagan did these things. He has more experience than me." Claire smiled: "This time I came here because Mrs. Sophia asked me for one thing, so I came here."

"What's the matter?" Shane asked, but as soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to answer: "It won't be about the plane of angry flames, right?"

Claire's eyelids jumped and asked, "You know that too?"

"Yeah." Shane nodded slowly, "My father called back the eldest brother and the second brother in Hill City, and also called me over, just for the matter of the Raging Flame Plane, he It's a bit too busy for one person now."

Hearing this, Claire raised a trace of curiosity in her heart and asked, "How much share did your family take?"

Shane frowned and raised his head to think for a moment, and then replied: "Thirty-five percent, it's not as big as Mrs. Sophia's appetite. This is the share that my father thinks he can swallow after weighing it."

"Then Prince Albert took 15%?" Claire said in surprise. You must know that these three magic shop giants are tied to the outside world. Sophia has a bigger appetite this time, but as a prince The Albert is not going to take that share.

Shane shook his head, "No, Prince Albert took 10% of the share, and the remaining 5% was distributed to the small magic shops controlled by other forces below."

Claire's doubts were even worse, but before she asked, Shane took the initiative to explain.

"Prince Albert is getting older, and the younger generation in the family are very wasteful, so in recent years they have not dared to let go of their hands and feet. The last time I made a mistake with Mrs. Sofia is also the reason."

This Claire understands. He doesn't seek no merit, but he seeks no fault. No matter what, he is also a member of the royal family, and he can have a high status without fighting for power and profit.

Shane had some uncertain guesses in his heart, and felt that the reason why his fiancee was the youngest daughter of Prince Albert's family was because he wanted to recruit himself and serve their family.

"Because of these things, these geniuses are so busy. This is the first time I have taken over the family's business." Xia En sighed.

"Be busy, just practice for the head of the house in advance." Claire smiled.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what you said." Shane laughed, and then asked, "You should also go to the party in a few days?"

"What party?" Claire asked.

"It is the gathering held by the nobles of the various forces involved in the plane of angry flames this time, which is equivalent to the oath banquet before the battle. Those nobles informed each other at the gathering, so as to avoid any handover problems."

Claire nodded, "The banquets in your capital are really constant, so I should go." Claire wasn't quite sure either.

The next day, Sophia sent someone to tell Claire the news of the banquet, and told him that he would be introduced to other nobles at this banquet.

In the past, when Sophia took him to a party, she would leave Claire behind, and then she disappeared to nowhere. Claire knows that Sophia is fulfilling her promise, and bringing Claire to the side is equivalent to informing other nobles, telling them that Claire is now covered by the August family, and what he will do in the future is also yours. It's all convenient.

This is a greeting in advance. After the official position of the king is appointed, Claire can be regarded as the real center of power in the capital.

Valley……

The scene of the party was different from those aristocratic teenagers drinking and having fun outside. After Claire entered with Shane, she was quickly picked up by Sophia.

Before leaving, Shane stared at Claire, not understanding why his good brother had left him, and even walked into the infield, where his father had never brought him in.

The nobles in the infield raised their glasses and pushed their cups, and now they also found Claire following Sophia.

Among them, Shane's father Earl Norton recognized Claire's identity at first sight, but he didn't come forward to say hello, but pushed his silver glasses in the corner, thinking about Sophia's move. mean.

When some other noble forces attached to the August family or had close relations with the August family saw Sophia come in, they quickly squeezed out a smile and walked up to say hello.

"This is the Viscount of the Griffin Territory - Claire, who will be an important partner of our August family in the future." Sophia's introduction was only one sentence.

But those nobles could easily hear from Sophia's introduction that the Viscount Griffin beside her seemed to be like them, becoming someone with real power in the kingdom.

They were not surprised at all about this. With Sophia's means and the strength of the August family, even if they wanted to pull a border viscount without any power into the power center of the capital, it would not be difficult at all.

After Sophia's introduction, some nobles have already exchanged contact information with Claire and made friends. They don't ask how good friends they can become after this party, but at least they need to be familiar with each other.

Claire also responded politely to those nobles who had befriended them one by one. These might be useful in the future. One of the nobles, Claire, has been eyeing. That person is an official of the kingdom's natural resources department. If Claire wants to If you buy a lot of magic ore at a low price, there is a way to go on his side.

Of course, you have to pay for the door, but compared to the amount of money you pay, the profit margin is still huge.

Sophia's introduction was very useful. If Claire found this noble official before, it would be difficult to get through with him no matter how much money was spent, but after this banquet, if Claire finds him in the future, she only needs to pay a certain amount of money. For the price, you can ask him for help.

That's what money can't solve, but power can easily do.

...

After everyone knew about it~www.wuxiahere.com~ Sophia clicked on Claire and drew his attention back.

Facing a half-open salon with only a few people sitting on the sofa, he said softly, "Go, there are other things to introduce over there."

That is the living room where the real top nobles of the kingdom gather, and ordinary nobles with real power will consciously avoid it and will not approach there.

After seeing Sophia and Claire walking there, Earl Norton also stopped chatting with the nobles and stood up.

"Let's talk first, everyone, I'm going there." Norton pointed to the salon over there. As the head of the Ansair family, he is naturally one of the top nobles in the kingdom, so he can naturally go there. go.

"Earl Norton walk slowly."

"Go, go, remember to come back and have a drink with us."
