Chapter 25 It’s me who is the poor one

The living room of Viscount Gordon's mansion.

Ron and Viscount Gordon sat opposite each other, and the maids around them stood quietly waiting for orders. Veronica was the accompanying maid, always standing behind Ron.

Viscount Gordon: "I have written to the two children in the Royal Capital and told them about you. When you arrive at the Royal Capital, nephew, they will arrange your accommodation. You can contact them if you have anything to do there. If it’s difficult to deal with, just write to me.”

Regarding Viscount Gordon's arrangement, Ron did not refuse and expressed his gratitude.

Viscount Gordon only has one wife, and the two children he talks about are his eldest son Michelle Gordon, who is the first heir to the Viscount.

The other is Marina Gordon, the eldest daughter.

The two were only one year apart, and both studied at the Royal Academy of Nobles in the Kingdom of Carlo.

Viscount Gordon smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you are only one or two years younger than my two children. Michelle will graduate next year. When he comes back, he will follow me to learn how to manage the territory. After all, the future will be left to him. .”

As soon as people reach middle age, they either talk about their career or they like to talk about their children.

Ron listened with a smile on his face.

"If you were also studying in the Royal Capital, I would have asked Michelle to take care of you more, but it's a pity." Viscount Gordon seemed to be regretting that Ron could not go to the Royal Academy for Nobles.

Ron was also puzzled. It seemed that the original person had been staying in the territory and had never left the house, let alone went to school in the royal capital.

Viscount Gordon seemed to know the reason, and Ron thought he might be able to find out in a trick. He thought deeply and said, "Actually, after so long, I regret not going to school in the royal capital. I really want to make up for the regret in my heart."

As he spoke, he looked at Viscount Gordon with a sad expression.

Viscount Gordon looked distressed and said with heavy words: "My child, don't blame your parents."

Hearing about the former baron and baroness, various conjectures appeared in Ron's mind.

Just listen to Viscount Gordon continue to say: "You have now started to deal with the affairs of the territory. You clearly understand that the finances of the Arnold Territory have not been very good. The debts were only paid off a few years ago, and there is really no money left for you to go to school."

Ron was stunned and thought about many possibilities.

For example, there are political enemies in the capital, and they are worried about letting the only heir take the risk of going to school in the capital.

Another example is that the previous baron and baroness did not care about their children, and even hated them, so they treated them in a way that gave up.

Before hearing this result, Ron never thought that he couldn't afford to go to school because he was too poor.

I am the poor one myself? !

For a moment, Ron felt a little ridiculous.

A noble son with no money to go to school. Ron really wanted to ask Viscount Gordon if not many people knew about this. Is it too late to silence him now?

Seeing Ron's 'painful' expression, Viscount Gordon apologized deeply and said: "At that time, my territory's finances were in trouble and I was unable to help. After the matter was resolved, you missed the age for school entry."

Ron pretended to cough twice and said, "It's not your fault. It's my honor that uncle is still thinking about this matter."

"Good boy! What a good boy." Viscount Gordon smiled happily.

"Oh, by the way. How much tuition do you need to pay per year to study at the Royal Academy for Nobles?"

Ron couldn't believe it and asked unwillingly.

Gordon knew everything and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't cost many gold coins a year, only one or two thousand gold coins."

One or two thousand gold coins!

Isn’t that much?

It is equivalent to selling fruits for 500 years in Eileen's fruit shop to afford one year's tuition.

"The main money spent in the Royal Capital is elsewhere. You will understand when you go to the Royal Capital." Viscount Gordon smiled with a hint of meaning.

After finishing one topic, the two started talking about another topic. Sometimes it starts with Viscount Gordon, sometimes it starts with Ron.

"Uncle is a magician?"

While chatting about related topics, Ron suddenly asked. When I looked at Viscount Gordon's character card before, the first entry was [Water Magic Affinity]. I guess Viscount Gordon has magic talent.

"Oh? Can you tell?"

Viscount Gordon was surprised and laughed: "Michelle is the same as me. He also studied water magic in the academy."

"It's just a feeling."

Ron thought about it and sighed: "There is only one person in a million who can have the talent of magic. Fortunately, Michelle inherited your talent. It's really enviable. I wonder if I have the talent to learn magic."

He said this deliberately, because Ron knew that Viscount Gordon would definitely answer.

Viscount Gordon shook his head and said regretfully: "When you were just born, your father came to me to check your talent. Unfortunately, you don't have magic talent."

Ron was prepared, but not surprised.

"Maybe the inspection tools at that time were not accurate. After so many years, the people from the Magic Tower have come up with something even more powerful. Nephew, when you go to the royal capital this time, you can go to the Magic Department of the Noble Academy to find someone to re-examine it. There are more accurate inspection equipment there, and I will prepare a letter of recommendation for you." Viscount Gordon added.

Ron said gratefully: "Thank you."

——

The time comes at night.

A dinner was held at the residence of Viscount Gordon.

At the banquet, Ron met Viscountess Gordon - Tiffany Gordon.

The appearance of the Viscountess completely fits Ron's fantasy of a Western lady, elegant and noble.

No wonder Viscount Gordon has only one lady like her.

"Baron Arnold, welcome to my house as a guest." Tiffany said pleasantly.

"I took the liberty of visiting. Thank you for taking the trouble to entertain me." Ron replied.

In just two sentences, they greeted each other. The Viscountess didn't speak much during the banquet, but every time she spoke, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Ron knew that the Viscountess was not a show-off, and her communication skills were definitely top-notch.

Viscount Gordon is a blessed man.

Ron sighed in his heart, and he suddenly thought of Viscount Gordon's second entry - [Many children, many blessings (green)]

It's a green entry that outshines his magical talent.

Judging from the name of this entry, it should be related to 'descendants'. Ron didn't look carefully at that time, so he didn't know the specific attributes of the entry.

The dinner ended happily.

The Viscountess didn't stay long, said "I'm sorry" and left. Viscount Gordon seemed to have endless things to say, and kept chatting with Ron.

Ron was in a state of wandering mind, feeling that the other party and his personal maid Eileen should be able to chat very well.

"I almost forgot to tell you the real thing."

Gordon's expression became serious and he said: "Nephew, if you follow the procedures for the knighthood this time, there won't be any big problems. But there is one thing I want to remind you."

Hearing this, Ron looked like he was all ears.

Afterwards, Gordon said: "The main reason why you are going to be knighted this time is to reevaluate the tax payment in the Arnold Territory. This is the key point for you to go to the royal capital to be knighted."

Pay taxes?

Ron frowned. Will the Kingdom raise taxes?

Just as he thought, Viscount Gordon stated the reason, "When you were conferred a title, someone would take the opportunity to ask the Arnold Territory to increase taxes. This was not arbitrary by the royal family. There were other ministers of the palace among them, with the purpose of getting some benefits. "

Ron nodded, knowing that Viscount Gordon wanted him to see clearly and not to blame the royal family recklessly, in order to avoid being murdered by someone with intentions.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Just let them raise the level of improvement they want. Just agree to it and wait until the conferment documents are obtained."

Viscount Gordon was relieved, with a proud smile on his face. Seeing this, Ron asked sensibly, "Uncle, what do you have in mind? Please tell me in detail."

Viscount Gordon must know more about the routines between nobles than he does. He is a novice. At this time, he should humbly ask for advice. It is also an opportunity to gain experience in prostitution.

Viscount Gordon did not answer immediately, but asked: "Do you know the difference between an honorary earl and a fiefdom?"
