"Master... what's the point of disguising yourself as a subordinate to approach that reporter?"
In the city lord's room, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler poured a cup of black tea for the piece of bubble gum at the table.
"What's the big deal?" The bubble gum on the table smiled. "Everyone here looks like bubble gum anyway. She won't recognize me..."
The butler sighed as he looked at Elizabeth, the current mistress of the family, and found himself at a loss for words.
As a noble from one of the twelve Knight Families, this mistress had never acted like a noble since childhood. She was unconventional and rarely followed tradition, but it seemed that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
For example, as a Knight Family with noble blood and a transcendent status, they had no need to interact with politicians. Yet this mistress had secretly befriended many of them. Back then, every family elder had thought she was wasting her effort. The main military force of Great Britain was in the hands of the Arthur Family. No matter how many politicians she befriended or how close she grew to the people, she could never become the head of state. Even if she somehow did, she would merely be a puppet of the Arthur Family, making it completely meaningless. It was better to peacefully do what a Knight Family was supposed to do.
For example, give birth to a pure-blooded baby...
Yet none of the elders had expected that, because of those seemingly useless actions by the mistress, she would end up receiving such a huge slice of the pie this time!
"When did you first start paying attention to the Star Sea Force?" the butler couldn't help asking.
He asked because the timing was too coincidental.
