Chapter 185 (1/2)
A month later, on John Thurston's path, a carriage was on its way.
"This is not what you said!" Locke looked helplessly at Ailian sitting opposite him.
"Please, please!" Ailian said to Locke, "I have no choice but to find you."
Locke rolled his eyes.
There was no Phyllis lead mine investigation mission, or yes, but it is no longer important.
Because they have only one task now, that is to help Ailian avoid this blind date.
Yes, it's a blind date.
Eileen was born in Johnston, a small southeast province of the omor empire. Her grandfather was said to have been a local Viscount, but he didn't fall down these years.
In her father's generation, she only won the title of a baron, and the territory is only a few small towns and a town that can barely be regarded as a small town.
Although the family power has declined a lot, the foundation handed down by their ancestors is still there. In terms of wealth, it is enough for them to have enough food and clothing for generations.
It was also with this condition that Ailian's parents spent a lot of money and asked the former imperial aristocrats to get Ailian to Princeton Royal College.
If nothing unexpected happens, Elaine may return to Johnston after graduation, inherit the family property passed on to her by her parents, and obtain the title of father Baron to manage the surrounding towns.
But this is not Eileen's dream, nor is it her will.
After studying in DIDU for nearly two years, how could she be willing to return to the same family territory in the countryside? If she wanted to stay in that territory all her life, she thought she would go crazy.
Ailian's parents are a pair of reasonable people, otherwise they would not choose to let Ailian, their favorite daughter, go to Princeton. They have a son and a daughter under their knees, which can be used as heirs in the family.
This time Elaine asked Locke for help, mainly because of her uncle.
"What? Viscount simack's children fell in love with me at first sight. I haven't even seen that Veron simack once!"
"It must be uncle Bissell's ghost again. He always wants to restore the glory of the family."
"I don't want to get married so early. Locke, you have to help me!"
Elaine took Locke's hand and pleaded with tearful eyes. Whether there were tears in her eyes remains to be discussed.
"I see, I know!" Locke agreed impatiently and was pulled to block the gun for no reason. It is conceivable that Locke's mood at this time.
But after such a long class at Princeton Royal College, only Ellen and Henry can be regarded as Locke's own friends. It's understandable to help her once.
Through Eileen's description, Locke knew that her uncle Bessel was his father's brother and also inherited a baron title, but he never forgot to return to the Viscount class these years.
However, viscount West mark is one of the few powerful viscount in the province of John Thurston. One or two hundred years ago, Elaine's family may still be able to get along with Viscount West Mark's family on an equal footing. Now, with the decline of their family, it can only be the existence they look forward to.
In the province of John Thurston, there are not many viscounts, but there are surprisingly many nobles below the Baron, so the hierarchy is extremely obvious.
