Mystery: Shadow of Order

"Yes, but compared to the big aristocracy of the Conservative Party, the new party, which is not so big in the gap, is more suitable for you."

Compared with the new party, which is not so extravagant, the expenses of many Conservative aristocrats are indeed huge. The annual cost of repairing the castle is calculated in thousands of pounds, the annual cost of clothing and jewelry is tens of thousands of pounds, as well as persistent hunting activities, social banquets, occasional grand weddings, and extravagant funerals.

If you choose a big aristocrat from the Conservative Party, throw all the property of Rawls into it, and at most you will hear the sound of water. And if you choose some minor nobles, you can still support them, but their political resources are pitiful, let alone outside.

Rawls frowned and continued to ask:

"What if I insist on choosing the Conservative Party?"

"Then just wait, wait until you become a magistrate, and then seek other things."

Norman felt Rawls' urgency, so he first proposed to take advantage of the repeal of the "Corn Act" to communicate between the two parties, rather than the more in line with the line of judges who are lawyers in politics.

But he still doesn't understand why Rawls is so urgent. For Rawls, who is only 23 years old this year, it is too early to enter the political arena.

"Okay, Mr. Norman, thank you very much for your suggestion, I will consider it carefully."

Rawls got up and shook hands with Mr. Norman, then waved to Fitch, who was standing beside him.

"Fitch, take Mr. Norman to the third parlor first."

This villa has three parlors, the second and third parlors are smaller, and the first parlor is the largest, which is used to hold salons and dances. Now the place where Rawls communicates with the future housekeeper is the second living room.

For Rawls, if he is not a traveler, or if this is a normal world, Mr. Norman's suggestion is very pertinent. And, as a Conservative-leaning steward, it is incredible that Rawls should choose a new party.

If Rawls had taken his advice and opted for the new party, Norman, who leaned toward the Conservative Party, would never have been his steward.

For Rawls, who has not enough money and can't wait for time, Norman's suggestion is of little use to him for the time being.

Soon, Fitch brought another housekeeper candidate, Mr. August, to the second parlor.

Mr. Augst, 52, has more wrinkles on his face and more grey hair than Mr. Norman, 55. But the straight waist and the military demeanor between his actions showed that he was not as old as he appeared to be.

Rawls got up and shook hands with Mr. Augst, and asked:

"Has Mr. Augst ever been a soldier?"

Mr. Augst shook hands with Rawls and replied:

"No, it's just that Viscount Barton exercises a certain degree of militarized management over the stewards and servants, so he can't help but wear a military attitude."

"Oh, I see."

Rawls nodded. Most retired officers would make such demands on those around them. What's more, Viscount Patton was injured in the war, and the trauma in his heart was even greater. He did not have a direct mental breakdown, but he was already mentally strong.

"From your accent, it sounds like you're from Jianhai County."

Augst's Midsea County has a very light accent, but Midsea County's accent is the most recognizable in the Loen Kingdom.

"You heard it, I'm from Constantine."

The city of Conston in Jianhai County, also known as the Windy City, is an area with extremely developed coal and steel industries, ranking the top three among all the cities in the Loen Kingdom.

"Then why did you come to Backlund and become a housekeeper?"

Jianhai County is located in the northwest of Ruen and borders the Republic of Intis. It is really strange that a Jianhai County person runs to Backlund as a housekeeper.

"More than 20 years ago, you and I, Mr. Adrian, were colleagues."

"Oh?"

Rawls blurted out in surprise:

"You were also a barrister?"

If Augst had been a barrister, he would have been even less likely to be a housekeeper.

Augst waved his hand, a bit of shame on his face:

"No, I used to be a solicitor, but my performance has not been very good."

"That's right."

Rawls nodded. Although Augst used to be a solicitor, and his performance was not very good, as a half colleague, Rawls felt a little closer to Mr. Augst.

In Ruen, because of the different division of labor, the relationship between solicitors and barristers is actually not that good. But it can't be said to be antagonistic. After all, the two still have to cooperate, but the contradiction between the two has always been there.

Barristers despise solicitors who help their clients with their busy schedules, and act like housekeepers; solicitors are even more dissatisfied with their remuneration, and they spend so much energy that they can't compare to the dozens of minutes of defense in a barrister's court.

Augst continued:

"Later, Intis and us had a conflict in Jianhai County, and then it developed into a war. At that time, because of my unsatisfactory work, I became the guide of the army."

More than 20 years ago, there was a local war between Intis and Loen. The final decisive battle between the two armies was on a northwest-southeast narrow plain in the northwest of Jianhai County~www.readwn.com~ west of the plain. To the south are the Hornages Mountains and to the northeast is the Midsea.

Here, the Knights of Ruen Akhova met the army of the Republic of Intis with the most advanced weapons. The cavalry in cuirass rushed towards the Intis army equipped with high-pressure steam rifles and six-barreled machine guns, and the Akhova Knights were almost wiped out.

However, the Knights of Siviras led by Viscount Barton took the opportunity to rush out from the rear of the Intis army, and the Intis army, whose bullets were almost exhausted, ushered in the counterattack of the Knights.

The two countries started peace talks because both sides were damaged, and Patton, who made great contributions, was also named a Viscount.

"Are you the guide of Viscount Patton?"

Augst nodded and said:

"Yes."

"Then you are the hero of Loen! Forgive my rudeness!"

Rawls got up and bowed slightly. He could think of how amazing it would be to lead a knight order from the Hornages Mountains to the rear of the Intis army.

Augst also got up and waved his hand:

"What meritorious person is not a hero, if it wasn't for the Viscount to save me, I would have died in the Hornages Mountains."

Rawls gestured for August to sit down and said:

"That's why you chose to become Viscount Patton's steward?"

It seems that Augst is not short-sighted, but to repay his kindness, and chose Viscount Barton, a nobleman who is destined to be unable to continue the family.

"Yes. After the war, because I witnessed the cruelty of the war with my own eyes, and I almost lost my life in the Hornages Mountains, I couldn't sleep for a long time."

"In order to eliminate the shadow in my heart, I chose to come to Backlund. Soon after, I learned that Viscount Patton's temperament changed greatly due to the trauma of the war."
