"In this world, there has never been a perfect country and a perfect ruler. There will always be people who are dissatisfied with the country's policy enforcement strategy. It is inevitable to express their dissatisfaction in a way they agree. I will not think that the Irish do not love me because of an Irish assassination of me, and I believe that the Irish will not feel that the king is incompetent because of an Irish assassination of the king. After this inspection of the north, no matter how much the situation can improve, as long as I live healthy, the Kingdom of Ireland will also live healthy, and occasional colds and fevers will not affect health. I am right, respected O'Grady... Your Excellency?"

The previous words are an in-depth analysis of the political situation in Ireland, and the final "Your Excellency" is a reminder of the current situation of the O'Grady family and even the old Gaelic nobles. Unless the Kingdom of Ireland promulgates a new bill, these guys who regard themselves as nobles are no different from ordinary civilians in terms of law!

The old marquis opposite the dining table was meditating without any joy. Instead, the father of the old marquis, the current secretary of state, the father of the old marquis, who was sitting beside him, showed a hint of anger between his eyebrows, as if the name of "Haohenzollern" showed the contempt of the young king from the Hohenzollern royal family for the orthodox Irish nobles.

Natsuki noticed the change in Fitrell's expression. This person was a few years younger than Thor, the leader of the family, and his appearance and temperament were 70 to 80% similar to him. However, the part where there was a gap between the two was also obvious. The old Marquis had the domineering and wisdom to convince everyone. Fitrell seemed to be just a shrewd and capable person.

When the atmosphere was stalemate, the old Marquis suddenly laughed. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Shu, nodded repeatedly, "Young but not frivolous, majestic and heavy, and advanced and retreated in moderation. Your Majesty is indeed a natural leader and an outstanding hero as rumored outside. Ireland has His Majesty in charge, and even the most difficult situation can be overcome. At most thirty or fifty years, Ireland will definitely become the Netherlands and Denmark that year."

Youdao did not hit the smiling person, and Xia Shu smiled faintly: "It is a great honor to be praised by you."

"As Your Majesty said, the general trend of Ireland is stable, and all the previous problems that any country may encounter. Your Majesty's inspection of the north has conquered the hearts of most northern people. No matter how troubles there are in the future, it will no longer cause the previous restlessness. As Irish citizens, we have reproduced and thrived here for generations, and our sincere love for it is no less than that of anyone. For the long-term stability of the country and its external image, and to maintain the rapid development of the economy and society, we are willing to contribute our full strength without leaving any room."

The old marquis' way of expressing complete surrender made Natsuki feel comfortable. He cited the article in the Constitution of the Kingdom of Ireland and said: "According to the Constitution of the Kingdom of Ireland, the king has the right to grant honorary titles to anyone who has made significant contributions to the country. If the contribution is particularly outstanding, the hereditary title can be awarded after deliberation by the parliament. Of course, the hereditary title is still mainly based on honor, and the first generation of recipients can enjoy the title allowance, and his descendants only retain their titles."

Everyone here can understand what Xia Shu meant. Except for the old Marquis, his face was still calm, the other three people from the O'Grady family showed more or less disappointment. Their expectation was to restore the former privileged status of the Gaelic nobles and become a special class connecting the royal family and the people again, not only ordinary people also had the opportunity to win honorary titles.

Seeing that the old marquis did not respond, the father of the State Secretary said, "Your Majesty, soldiers charge on the battlefield, and their military achievements are calculated by killing and wounding the enemy or conquering the towns; officials play their talents in the field of political and diplomaticism, safeguarding national interests, establishing national authority, and their merits are calculated by political and diplomatic achievements; scientists, engineers, technicians... The contributions of these people to the country are visible to the public and deserve to be obtained titles, but some contributions seem less obvious and difficult to calculate in units of measurement. In fact, since the beginning of the Irish War of Independence, our family has been continually contributing to Ireland and helping us to transition smoothly. There are many families in similar situations that we are doing similar efforts. Unfortunately, until now, our efforts have not been officially recognized, let alone rewards that are appropriate."

There is nothing wrong with the content of these words, but compared with the answers between the king and the old marquis, their vision and mind are lower than the level. It is like a master's swordsmanship. Suddenly, a guy with average swordsmanship comes in to make a good start.

Xia Shu did not indulge in the relationship between this person and the Secretary of State. He said sternly: "In fact, you did not secretly support the British team during the war, and did not stock up in the peaceful development era and disrupt the economic order. This is already a great contribution to Ireland. Moreover, there are many positive and positive efforts, and you deserve rewards."

The old Marquis suddenly heard the indirect voice, and he waved his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty is so serious. How can we do these things be compared with the soldiers who fight bloody on the battlefield, the talents who devote their hard work on the diplomatic field, and those who have brought great reputation or economic benefits to the country? With your Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, you will definitely not miss the award and misuse the talentless. After today, what we have to do is to contribute to the stable development of Ireland, even if you sacrifice your life."

After using the meal, Xia Shu felt that everything he should say was said. There was no need to talk too much about these inexpensive topics. Where to go, smart people like the old Marquis would naturally make decisions. So he took off his napkin and said to the members of the Grady family in a vain way: "Then, I'll wait for good news for you!"

Under the leadership of the old marquis, everyone quickly stood up and gave him a respectful gift.

When Xia Shu returned to the room arranged by the Grady family, Charlotte was sitting at the desk writing a postcard. She put down her pen and walked forward, skillfully unbuttoned her skin, took off her sword, took off her coat, and gave him a warm smile: "How are you talking?"

"It's similar to what I expected." Natsuki replied, "By the way, the beef tastes very good tonight, what do you think?"

"The meat and heat are very good, but unfortunately the wine used to fry and roast it drags a little bit. There are also many of the furniture and bedding products here that are newly purchased, which is not particularly matched with the original style, which makes people feel that it is lacking."

When talking to Natsuki, Charlotte basically said whatever she said, not as careful as an official or a entourage, but her way of speaking rarely makes Natsuki feel unhappy. This is the biggest difference between her and the people around her.

Seeing Charlotte's appearance as a little woman, Xia Shu smiled and said, "Ha, fortunately you are not a Virgo, otherwise you will not be able to sleep at night."

Charlotte is not a zodiac sign. She still learned a lot about the zodiac sign character through Natsuki, and she did not argue. When Natsuki was washing her face and hands, she returned to her desk to continue completing her postcard.

After coming out of the bathroom, Xia Shu walked to the window next to the desk and looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky: "At this time tomorrow night, we can lie on our bed and watch the moon."

Charlotte gently held his arm from the left: "Can you go for a walk outside tonight?"

The key to the problem is obviously not Xia Shu’s interest, but safety considerations.

In previous talks, one side was a powerful monarch with great power, and the other side was a declining nobleman far away from the power class. Although the two sides had positive intentions to cooperate, they were in an unequal position from the beginning, and Xia Shu did not even give the other party the opportunity to discuss specific conditions. The old Marquis saw this thoroughly, so his words and deeds were properly handled, retaining hope for his family to regain his legal aristocratic identity. As for the overall interests of the O'Grady family, they should hold the king's thighs tightly. However, this family has been in Ireland for nearly a thousand years, and has their own values ​​and ways of survival. They may not be sure that they have secretly planned a path that is more beneficial to them. It is so secret that even the Irish government and intelligence departments have not noticed it. At this moment, only by staying in the residences under the strict protection of the personal guards and military soldiers can we ensure personal safety to the greatest extent.

Seeing that Xia Shu was hesitating, Charlotte tactfully explained: "It doesn't matter, we'd better wait until we go back to Limerick tomorrow before taking a walk on the comfortable grass!"

When Charlotte spoke, Xia Shu smiled and watched her lips open and close, and her teeth were slightly exposed. This trip to the north had some meaning of going in a different direction, and accidents could occur at any time. However, with her by her side and her silent understanding and support, Xia Shu had never been attacked by fear. This down-to-earth feeling allowed him to regain his arrogant will on the eve of Jutland. Any difficulties and obstacles were just clouds in front of him.

After saying this, Charlotte hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "Joheng, are you planning to restore the Irish aristocratic system?"

Regarding Ireland's political affairs, in addition to giving Xia Shu very positive suggestions on resolving religious conflicts, Charlotte never said anything more. At this time, the question was obviously not out of simple curiosity. Xia Shu thought about it and felt that this might have something to do with the Hill family or her own identity, but she couldn't figure out where she intended it for a while, so she replied from a conceptual perspective: "The aristocratic class is an inevitable existence of every monarchical country, and the Kingdom of Ireland is not the case.

In addition, the difference is that the current non-traditional aristocratic system in Ireland, and the Gaelic nobles represented by the Grady family hope to restore the traditional aristocratic system, but I did not agree to them. In fact, even if I proposed a bill, the parliament that represents the will of the people would not approve it, because the noble privileges are contrary to the spirit of freedom and equality of the constitution of Ireland. It can only exist in Ireland in a noble nature, and at most the government will give symbolic monetary subsidies."

Charlotte said "Oh" with a vague understanding, leaning on the Xia tree with his head obliquely, and said slowly: "Before coming to Ireland, His Highness Princess Mary promised me that the British royal family would grant me the title of Countess on the grounds of making special contributions to the country."

Before the Champions League final, Princess Mary used this as a condition to ask Natsuki to ensure the fairness of the referee in the final. Natsuki did not reach any agreement with her. The subsequent game showed a dramatic result. The British were ecstatic about the result of the game, but then fell into the vortex of the Limerick explosion. No one mentioned this matter again. Judging from Charlotte's narrative, Princess Mary made a promise to her before she negotiated the terms with her.

Since Charlotte took the initiative to talk about this, Natsuki asked, "So did she propose an exchange condition?"

Charlotte said frankly: "She hopes that I will be Ireland in the future and will consider the Irish people and allow this revived but relatively fragile country to avoid the invasion of war... After all, she does not want Ireland to be enemies with Britain."
