Originally, Lorne didn't care at all about the so-called birthday festival, but since Sophia and Elsa were going to attend, he naturally asked the bishop for some knowledge in this area.
As for who Wendy said would represent the North, in his opinion, Hodder, the son-in-law of the Grand Duke of the North, must be the first choice.
Even Hayden thinks so.
As a so-called competitor, he can only be a running companion at best.
And he didn't think that he, just a baron, was qualified to represent the North.
"Of course it's Hod Clark.
Are there any other more suitable candidates?"
Last year it was a son, this year it was a son-in-law.
The only people who can represent the North are their Habs family or people close to them.
Lorne's words are exactly what most people in the North think.
It is generally accepted that Hod goes to the Imperial Capital on behalf of the North.
But that was when Lorne didn't exist, because the arrival of this guy caused some changes in the North where everything was on track.
As a result, many things also changed.
Wendy told the man the top-secret news that her Baker family had received: “It was originally Sir Hod Clark, but due to the expedition, his wedding to Amanda Hubbs was postponed.
A prospective son-in-law of the Habsburg family seems somewhat unqualified to represent the North.
This matter was reported back by the Grand Duchess.
Since the lady said so, Hod Clark will definitely not be able to go to the Imperial Capital on behalf of the North.
Next, guess who else is qualified?"
No need to guess, Hayden told Lorne at the beginning.
But Lorne didn't take it to heart at the time, and he didn't expect that an opportunity he didn't want would actually be placed in front of him.
Seeing the man's expression, Wendy knew that Lorne had guessed it, but there were some things that the man might not know: "Apart from you, the illegitimate son of the Grand Duke's family is also among the candidates.
As the two best illegitimate sons in the North, The two best young people, you are qualified to represent the younger generation in the north to the imperial capital."
Being praised as excellent by Wendy, Lorne was not happy at all.
Likewise, he doesn't care when women call him an illegitimate child in a contemptuous way.
But Wendy, who had already offended Lorne, obviously noticed her wording, and she continued speaking after revising it.
"But your title is still a bit too low, so if anyone can get the chance this time, those who go to the imperial capital will be treated as a knight.
And you should know who the Grand Duchess and the Baker family hate the most.
They will not allow Baron John Carter the opportunity to continue to grow, even if he is only a viscount after promotion.
So this is your time.
Lester Baker, who came with me this time, is just to see if you, Baron Fast, are really what the outside world says.
If you are recognized by the other party, the Baker family will support you to represent the North.
Well, this is an unprecedented opportunity.
Go to the imperial capital, let more people know the name Lornefast, and at the same time get a title.
Apart from war, there is no easier opportunity to get a title than this.
As long as I get out of it" The woman sputtered a lot of things, and the key was to get Lorne to flatter the Baker family in order to get the so-called opportunity.
But there were no actual benefits at all.
Lorne could tell that the so-called knighthood was just a change in title.
Without the baptism of war, it is impossible to obtain the corresponding land.
The target has been set on the crown of the Grand Duke of the North.
Unless the other party gives up this position, the viscount and baron are actually the same in Lorne.
Interrupting Wendy's chatter, he refused mercilessly: "It's just a chore to run errands.
I'm not interested.
The Baker family can support whoever they want.
My dear sister, could it be that you have gone to great lengths to give me such unnecessary news?"
"Dispensable" noble class, title and reputation are very important things, that is, in a place like the North where fighting is needed.

In the interior of the empire, the difference in title and prestige is the criterion for judging whether a noble is powerful or not.
Lorne actually used the term "dispensable" to deny other people's life-long goals, and Wendy couldn't help but start to speak her mind.
"You idiot, if there are no accidents, do you know how many generations of efforts it will take to go from Baron to Viscount?
Now as long as you nod, you can get the support of the Baker family.
With their help, you can easily change from Baron Fast to Viscount Fast this time.
What is dispensable?
This is a major choice in life, a choice that even an idiot knows how to make. " What Wendy said only applies to natives of the other world like them, or in other words, when they first traveled through time, the status of a viscount could indeed make a beast kneel down and lick the shoes of the Baker family.
But now, he didn't want to waste time walking back and forth between the northern border and the imperial capital.
Even if you ride lightly all the way, it might take half a month to go back and forth.
Think about it, if you don’t control the territory, there are too many things you can do in half a month.
What's more, as a representative, he must bring a large group of people with him.
It is impossible to complete the task and return here from the imperial capital in half a month.
Lorne's refusal was due to the current situation.
Even if the conditions were more generous and he could not go, he would not go.
"Okay, I'm not interested in this matter.
But I want to know what the attitude of the Baker family will be if I refuse, or turn to support John."
With eyes wide open, Wendy could no longer understand Lorne's refusal to deliver the good thing to her door.
Hearing that he wanted to support another illegitimate child, the woman simply couldn't imagine what kind of thinking the man in front of her had.
"Once Leicester brought this up to you and you refused to his face, your cooperation with the Baker family was likely to be in trouble.
But if you were to issue a statement in support of John Carter, that would not be possible, as was done before.
Everything will be overthrown.
The Grand Duchess will not allow you to do this.
At her request, the Baker family will once again list you as an enemy to be dealt with.
Even for teasing them, you'll probably be ranked second only to John Carter.
So for the sake of our future children, you can only accept that if there is any problem, I will help you. " Wendy had some suspicions that Lorne did this just to punish her.
If Lorne really ended up antagonizing the Baker family again because of this, what hope would she have after her territory fell and she was already married?
Could it be that we want to help Steve fight for the title of Earl Baker?
The difficulty is not one or two:
