Lawrence asked the housekeeper about family matters because his adoptive father had never introduced him to the background of the family, so he didn't know anything about these things. So Lawrence thinks it's time to take this opportunity to ask the housekeeper what is going on in the house.

After all, in this situation, they are likely to go to the old continent to attend his uncle's funeral, and the funeral of a nobleman will know that there will be a large number of guests who seem to mourn. In this case, if the close relatives of the deceased have little understanding of the family situation, it would be too rude.

"Master, didn't you tell the young master of our family's history and glory?" After listening to Lawrence's words, Butler Byer turned his neck and looked at Mr. Lambert with agility that was not suitable for his age. "Why don't you tell Young Master these things?"

"After all, I chose to treat myself as an ordinary person after I chose to leave home." At this point, Mr. Lambert gently patted Lawrence on the shoulder and looked at the Butler Byer. "In this way, my son is naturally also an ordinary person. There is no need to know these idiots. Besides, my son is now doing very well by himself, without any power from the family."

"You’re right, the young master is indeed very powerful now, and even I think it’s one of the best in our family. At least no one in the family except the first Earl of Sauer can achieve such achievements at such a young age. "After listening to Mr. Lambert's words, the butler by Bayer also showed pride and pride from the heart. For this housekeeper who has worked in the family for several generations, it is a very happy thing for him to see outstanding family descendants.

But soon he recovered his serious expression and looked at Mr. Lambert and said: "But I think you still need to tell your children about the glorious traditions of the family. This is the glory of the August family. I think we should He passed on."

"Well, I will take the time to tell my son these things." Mr. Lambert spread his hands and shrugged, then looked at the Bayer butler and asked. "But now can you tell me the reason why you came here in person this time? I believe that if it was just my brother's death, then you shouldn't be allowed to take the transoceanic space teleportation array to inform me of this news."

"Because the family now needs the young master, you go and sit down in person." The Butler by Bayer showed a very serious expression. "Now the earl's house is in a mess because of the death of the earl. The lady is too sad and can't take charge of the affairs of the house. It is very necessary for someone to take over the responsibility of presiding over the affairs of the earl's house, and you are the most suitable one."

"Why not let my two nephews go to the reception? After all, they are my brother's first and second heirs." Mr. Lambert suddenly felt wrong, because in this case it is often the next earl. Come to take charge of the family affairs, basically there will be no chaos.

"Because the two young masters of your Excellency Conrad have disappeared -" Mr. Lambert interrupted the Butler by Bayer before he finished speaking. Then Mr. Lambert was a little impatient now, "Okay, take everything Let’s talk about everything that is wrong, starting from the death of my brother."

Before, Mr. Lambert also clearly saw that the cause of his brother’s death was a bit strange, but the third-ranked member of the rank succession, according to the custom, should not intervene in this matter before the two sons of his brother have sent an invitation. But now he became nervous immediately after learning that his two nephews were missing.

The partners of the transcendents and nobles in this world are not limited to one person, but Earl Sauer has only one wife to pick up two legal sons, and the two sons have no legal children because they are not married. Therefore, with his two sons now missing, Mr. Lambert, as the third in line, should assume family responsibilities. This is also the reason that Bayer's butler rushed to the New World all the way.

"Master, this is the situation." Because he himself hoped to find Mr. Lambert to solve the family problem, after Lawrence's adoptive father asked, the Butler by Bayer recounted what had happened before as if pouring beans in a bamboo tube.

According to the housekeeper, the supernatural being present after the sudden death of Count Sauer immediately checked the remains, but found nothing abnormal. At the same time, they also sent someone to inform the earl’s two sons, but it is strange that the informant learned that the earl’s two sons had gone hunting after entering the earl’s mansion in the capital, but they found nothing after searching the hunting grounds. .

"I think this is probably because someone is targeting our August family." The Butler by Bayer said what happened in the family before and said his guess. As a professional butler of a noble family, he has never seen Less conspiracy and trickery, so naturally think in this direction whenever something happens.

"What you said makes sense, Grandpa Bayer." Lawrence answered immediately after talking about his thoughts at Bayer's house, and then spoke in detail about the attack he encountered on the way back here. Thinking about it now, the group of people was obviously aimed at killing Lawrence and his companions, but because they were likely to seriously underestimate the fighting power of Lawrence and Syfiel because of incomplete information collection, they turned into giving away their heads.

"Are you saying that those assassins were probably professional soldiers before?" After listening to Lawrence's analysis, the Butler Byer frowned. "Although Lord Earl now serves in the court, he also served as the vice-president of the Noble House. . But in reality, it was only dealing with some miscellaneous affairs, and there was no obvious offending of any person or group!"

"The most important thing is that our August family is the descendant of an illegitimate son of an emperor of the Holy Visby Empire, so naturally belongs to the emperor’s faction. Therefore, after receiving the emperor’s suggestion that the emperor wanted to centralize power in the first half of last year, we simply put ourselves After handing over his territory, he went to the capital to become a nobleman in the palace. A nobleman who has no territory would normally not be watched by anyone."

With the continuous development of science and technology, the original layer of aristocratic feudal control gradually became unsuitable for the rapidly increasing productivity development, and even the differences between different aristocratic territories had a counterproductive effect on the development of productivity. Therefore, any ruler with a little idea will choose to gradually centralize power to promote the development of the country.

The August family, as the emperor faction, naturally chose to respect the emperor's ideas at this time, and the Count Sauer himself was not a person who loves power. So two years ago, the current Earl of Sauer chose to hand over his territory to the country, leaving only the title of nobility and family property.

After learning that his uncle gave up the territory and handed it over to the country, Lawrence thought of a possibility. So asked his father and the housekeeper of the family. "Do you think that the recent series of things have been done by the nobles who want to keep their rights? After all, my uncle is really unfriendly to those nobles who have real power and do not want to give up their independent status. ~lightnovelpub.net~ Your thoughts are actually because you are not a nobleman, so you don't understand what's inside." The Butler by Bayer shook his head and said. "Our family can always be regarded as a sub-family of the royal family, belonging to the immediate emperor's vassal. Therefore, what orders the emperor gives us to execute is completely in line with the internal hierarchy of the nobles. Therefore, those nobles cannot exclude us because of this."

"Or to be precise, our family has always had no better relationship with the aristocratic group because of the imperial faction, but they also admit that we, as the emperor's direct vassal, obey the emperor's order to comply with the rules of the aristocracy. Therefore, that A group of nobles may hate Lord Earl because of this, but they will definitely not cause such a thing."

Butler Bayer’s words made things even more confusing. He must admit that the steward Bayer was right. The aristocracy system was built on a strict feudal relationship between the upper and lower classes, so even if they didn’t like the nobles of the emperor very much, But it is also necessary to agree with the loyal attitude of these nobles to the superiors or the emperor. Because doing so is also maintaining contact with the entire aristocratic class.

But what makes Lawrence feel a little confused is that other than this reason, he really doesn't know who has the motive behind the scenes to make the entire family of the earl house what it is now.
