Chapter 407 The Rose Bishop
Earl Hall felt that there was nothing wrong with young people having normal social interactions and relationships. Audrey was an adult and could do things independently without being constantly bound to Hall's title.
The key point is that Audrey will also start to have some things to do, instead of following her parents and attending various banquets and events among the nobility as before.
Then... the two bigwigs of the New Party, Earl Hall and Mrs. Maynard's father, both showed tacit approval, and this makeshift union was set up. Although it looks useless now, and its members are all rich and powerful.
But at least we have this organization. We just need to let it develop freely. When the union can control a large number of votes and send several members of the House of Commons to the House of Representatives, there will naturally be members of Congress who will support the union.
This can be considered a success, at least logically.
Chael wasn't in a hurry to force this process forward; that would come at a different price.
However, despite Chael's meddling, Edsack remained the "benevolent" third prince with a good reputation among the people, but the throne was out of the question.
The eldest prince of Rune doesn't need to worry about fratricide, since the more the third prince does, the less likely he is to actually become the king of Rune.
While Klein was at sea, braving the elements and killing pirates for bounties, Shael, or rather, Maynard, was in Backlund constantly corresponding with Audrey. Whatever stocks Audrey bought, Shael would buy too.
Sometimes, when he didn't want to make frequent transactions, he would simply send the checks to Audrey.
Let Audrey take it; she can operate it along with her own, or it's fine if she wants to practice. The disclaimer was written beforehand. Just like that, she'll buy stocks following the daughter of the largest shareholder of Bavaria Bank, the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, and a special advisor to the Royal Bank of Ruin...
No loss at all...
Audrey not only didn't find it troublesome, but was also quite grateful for Chael's trust.
She felt that Xia Er truly regarded her as a very close friend who wouldn't be influenced by money. Even Viscount Grelint, whom she had known since childhood, would generously lend her money, but he wouldn't hand it over to her so directly.
Miss Audrey sought a pure, intimate friendship that could withstand the test of time.
Chael's somewhat impolite, presumptuous, and unruly behavior actually made Audrey feel closer to him.
Although he was still a night watchman, he lived like a salary thief in the Church of the Night because of his special access and Archbishop Anthony's tacit approval.
My daily routine is roughly like this...
Friday night, I went to play Fors.
On Saturday, I went to Hazel's house to enjoy handmade cakes.
On Sunday, I selectively responded to various invitations, including but not limited to those from Edsack, Grynt, etc.
But on Monday, I still have to go to St. Samuel's Cathedral to clock in for work.
When he had nothing to do, he would wander around the church, and if he ran into Daly who wasn't on a mission, he would go over and poke her cheek.
"Sister Dai Li, you're in the prime of your career. Don't you think it's a bit early to get married now?"
Xia Er looked at Daly, whose face was rosy and whose eyes were full of undisguised joy, and said.
Because Klein's death was classified as an accident within the Night Watch, it's been almost a year since Klein died, and it's time for Captain Dunn to come out of retirement.
Dunn can't possibly remain a widow for Klein.
"Why are you so disappointed? Dunn and I plan to settle in Backlund, so it's not like we won't see each other again."
Daly looked at Xia Er with amusement, tilted her head and smiled, saying, "Doesn't it smell nice today? It's not the kind of smell that makes you want to sleep, like a psychic."
"Dunner's treatment is just different."
"Even the blue eyeshadow and... the blush that looked like a rotten tomato were removed."
"But I'm more curious about what it would taste like the next morning if you slept in a cemetery. It's a pity I met you a little too late."
Chael said it without a care in the world.
Daly wasn't offended or upset by having her sore spot touched; she simply nudged Xia Er.
Although there were other night watchmen present, none of them looked down on Xia'er or anything like that.
After all, Xia Er had more free time and knew more people. She had even helped them organize several blind dates and introduced them to a few suitable girls. Even if they had temporary financial difficulties, this kind colleague would help them out.
Such a great deity was practically enshrined in St. Samuel's Cathedral.
Meanwhile, Xia Er and Daly's conversation continued.
"Wasn't Dunn's proposal to you romantic? I designed it."
"Just tell me if you like it or not, if it's romantic or not, haven't I given you plenty of face?"
Xia Er asked the person involved for their opinion, since it was Xia Er who had instigated Dunn to confess.
Actually, it wasn't really a prank. He just sat next to Dunn and started persecuting her, criticizing the former captain, Daly, for being inhuman, irresponsible, and lacking in integrity. He looked down on Daly and felt that she was not good enough for him.
After Xia Er had bullied him enough, Dunn agreed without really understanding what was going on.
"Pfft~"
"I was scared at the time. What if Dunn suddenly froze? Would you kick him from behind?"
As Dai Li recalled the scene of Dunn proposing to her, she smiled even more happily.
She laughed for a moment, then reached out and wrapped her arm around Xia Er's head, pulling him closer. "But shouldn't you tell me who you like?"
"I think Hazel is a very good girl."
Dai Li's voice wasn't loud, but she was holding onto Xia Er as if she was pressuring him to give an answer.
"Have some decency."
"Hayr is even still attending grammar school."
Shaiel was speechless. Hazel was actually younger than Audrey.
"I'm warning you not to be indecisive."
"At least...be devoted to each one, and don't hurt them."
As Dai Li continued, she added, "By the way, don't tell Dunn what I've said."
"I haven't asked you yet, isn't the Rose Bishop a master of flesh and blood magic?"
"Can those kinds of problems be treated? If your kidneys fail, can you grow another one by eating meat?"
Dai Li's words drifted further and further off-topic, and the subject seemed to have strayed to an unknown place, yet she still appeared quite excited.
"Theoretically, it's possible, and... in fact, even the size and shape can be adjusted."
"It's abstract, but... growing five fingers... or... um... taking them apart and putting them back together..."
"Or perhaps, like a puppet, it can function in multiple parts..."
Xia'er's thoughts began to wander, and she came up with many aspects that she had never thought of before.
"Can it be operated separately?"
Dai Li covered her face, shocked, and asked in a low voice.
Chael nodded.
"That's so evil!"
Dai Li's voice trembled slightly.
"Hmm, it can even self-destruct."
Chael nodded with a strange expression.
