"Uncle Kent, if you agree, I would like to meet Earl Greiman."

Amerson immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to go to Arda for Earl Kent.

This is a good opportunity to consolidate the relationship between the two families. For Robe Noble like Wilde Family, it is extremely necessary to have a fiefdom noble as a strong support.

Earl Kent said happily, "I feel more at ease when I have someone like you who can talk."

The Kent father and son did not feel uncomfortable discussing such a matter in front of members of another family, because their two families have long been regarded as a community of interests.

If Amerson can participate, then after the Kent Family obtains the expected benefits, Wilde Family will definitely be indispensable.

"Uncle Kent, where should I start after I arrive at Arda?"

Amerson already roughly understood what happened from the conversation between Kent and his son, but he still planned to ask Earl Kent for advice.

Earl Kent touched his bare chin, thought for a while, and said after a long time:

"Let's start with the words of Bairdin's vassals. If the other party has sufficient evidence..."

"In our place, Northwest Duke Ferdinand is the biggest vassal of His Majesty the King. Hum! Greiman took over the territory next door by force without even consulting the Duke. He also doesn't take Duke seriously."

"Even if the truth of the matter is what he said, it will still be up to Duke Ferdinand to make the decision. It is not his turn to act rashly."

"After you go, seize this point and see how this little earl responds."

Amerson said that he had written it down, and then asked, "So, Uncle Kent, what do you hope to get from Greiman's family?"

The count did not answer the question, but took out a piece of paper and handed it to Amerson.

Amerson glanced at the paper, put it away carefully, and said, "I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

The count drank the "drink" in the glass in one gulp, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile:

"This little Greiman is young and energetic, and does things regardless of the consequences. Sooner or later he will cause great trouble to his family. Therefore, it is necessary for me to teach him a lesson for his deceased father."

"Uncle Kent really takes great pains to educate the younger generations. I really admire him."

"Hahaha!"

The three people laughed loudly in the restaurant.

Until now, the three people here have not considered what to do if Paul Greiman rejects their request, because in their eyes, this issue is not a problem at all.

Kent Family is the most powerful family in this area after Northwest Duke Ferdinand. There are more than 50 knights directly under the family, and there are also 10 vassal baronies in the territory. Each baron has its own knights in varying numbers.

As long as he gives an order, he can summon a team of about 100 knights. In the Northwest Bay area, who dares to underestimate such a force.

Needless to say, Arda, even if Paul Greiman expelled the pirates and annexed Bairdin, could he build a force to rival Kent Family in such a short period of time? Therefore, Greiman may hesitate and bargain, but he definitely does not have the guts to refuse outright.

Soon, Amerson set off for Lakeheart Town.

To Amerson's surprise, he hit a snag as soon as he arrived at Lakeheart Town.

After coming to Lakeheart Town, his biggest feeling was that the streets were very clean. After he came to the northwest, he did not stay in Earl Kent's territory all day long. Instead, he visited many places, but every town he visited was dirty.

"This is a good place to live." With this thought in mind, he came to the gate of Lakeheart Town's castle.

Amerson revealed his identity as Royal Capital noble and Kent Family envoy to the guards on guard, saying that he had something urgent to see Earl Greiman.

After the guard went in to report, a man dressed elegantly came out soon after.

He was very surprised. "Strange, shouldn't Earl Greiman be only fifteen or sixteen years old? This person must be over twenty, right?"

The elegant man walked up to him and said politely, "I am the secretary of Earl Greiman - Berna Francis. Please follow me to Reception Room."

Amerson I suddenly felt offended!

He represents Kent Family, which ranks second in strength in the Northwest Bay region, and he is also a noble himself. He made it clear to the guards just now.

It's fine if the other party doesn't come out to greet him in person, but he casually sends a pen-knife clerk to send him away. It's simply that he doesn't take Amerson seriously and doesn't take Kent Family seriously.

In the past six months in the northwest, Amerson also visited other families in other territories. After the other parties learned that he was a relative of the Kent Family and a Royal Capital noble, they all fawned over him and entertained him wholeheartedly. Unknowingly, he developed an extremely conceited mentality.

"Please lead the way!"

Amerson adjusted his mentality, put aside his unhappiness for the time being, and followed Berna to Reception Room who came to the castle.

Berna asked respectfully, "Excuse me, what is the purpose of your visit here?"

Amerson shook his head. "I can only tell Lord Greiman personally and ask him to meet me as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him who called himself Berna actually said, "Lord Greiman is busy with other affairs now. I am his Chief Secretary. If you have anything to say, you can tell me and I will tell it to Lord Greiman word for word."

"I'm sorry, I can only say it to Lord Greiman personally!"

Amerson emphasized it again. Although he said sorry before, his tone was already a bit unkind.

Berna was very depressed. He didn't know how he had offended the messenger in front of him. The tone he spoke just now clearly had a hint of intimidation.

He recalled Paul's schedule and said helplessly, "Mr. Messenger, if you insist on seeing Lord Greiman before speaking, you can only wait until tomorrow afternoon. The count's schedule is already full before tomorrow afternoon."

Paul once explained to him the priority of various matters. For example, when a lord of the same level sends an envoy to see him, if the other party does not come to declare war or discuss business cooperation, then he will go to the back.

Since Amerson was unwilling to speak, Berna had no choice but to put him back.

Amerson became angry after hearing this! He had carefully inquired about the Greiman Family before he came. Because he was on the wrong side in the palace struggle, he was assigned to Northwest Bay, and he was also prohibited from making vassals. Not to mention formal nobles like Viscount and baron, there was not even a regular knight.

A family like this, even inferior to those slightly stronger Viscount, dared to ignore Kent Family's messenger.

"Okay, okay! Then I'll wait for my meeting with Lord Greiman tomorrow afternoon."

Amerson smiled instead of getting angry. He decided to have a good time with this young earl who didn't know the heights of the world.
