"Sir Prio, thank you for taking your time to accept my presumptuous visit."

In the study of the manor, Zirned was sitting in danger.

"I am Nessi Zirned, the French Navy Major, and the Captain of the Lucky Horseshoe, the sixth-class ship. My ship is under the New World Fleet and is now in service with its Atlantic Defense Fleet."

"My birth..." Zirned changed his tone, "I was born in Colmar, Alsace. My family ancestor was named viscount during His Majesty 14. He was an important vassal of the Earl of Dadis and was prominent in the Upper Rhine generation."

"However, the ancestors of the previous generations fought for many years and sacrificed themselves. The family often faced the situation where the young master succeeded the throne and the fiefdom had to be managed. Over the years, they inevitably fell into the reputation of a family that was not good at managing."

"It was probably before and after my birth that our sect leader, Earl Dadis, had his inheritance, and his fief was reclaimed by the second-level council. As a vassal of the Earl's family, my family received a comprehensive assessment. Not only was it forced to change the family and swore allegiance to His Majesty, but the fief was reduced from a town with more than 400 households to a small village with only twelve households."

"My family has lost its family and when my father inherited the title, he was already in a state of poverty and was no different from ordinary farmers."

Zirned smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't receive any kind of education in my childhood. My best behavior is wheat and milking. At the age of four, I was able to catch squirrels with homemade traps and had success more than once."

"This kind of life lasted until the age of six. My father was expelled from the army because of his mistake of returning home without permission during the busy farming period, and we lost the most important source of livelihood."

"In order to make the family of seven survive, my father returned the title of nobles, abandoned the loyal lords, sold the family's ancestral home and all the property that could not be taken away, and moved his family to Martinique as a pioneer and bought a small plantation with only a hundred acres of land."

"Life has settled again. Although I live in poverty and hardship because I can't afford slaves, at least we no longer need to worry about not having enough food. I have also grown healthily from seven to twelve."

"When I was twelve years old, the pirates came." Zirned said calmly, like a bystander telling the worldly tragedy that had nothing to do with him. "Except for my younger sister and I who went to the woods to pick wild animals, everyone died. It was the navy nearby that patroled the nearby ones who drove the pirates and accidentally saved my life."

"This is the second turning point in my life. At the age of twelve, I sold my sister, joined the navy with my money, and became a bottom-level sailor, not even a sailor."

"At that time, I was an assistant to the sloop communications ship called Centaur. I was the smallest, weakest, and most incompetent of the thirty-six crew members on the ship. I could not do anything. Even if I stayed on the deck without doing anything, I would have dirty the deck because of seasickness."

"I just passed three years like this, and by bribing and enduring the captain's whip, I finally became a formal sailor."

"At the age of fifteen, we met pirates again."

"The firepower disadvantage, personnel disadvantage, ship disadvantage, Centauri was sunk. I and seven other sailors boarded the enemy ship under the leadership of the first mate and fought with the enemy to death. In the end, I became the only survivor of that battle. I captured the enemy ship alone, and because of insufficient personnel, I floated on the sea for twenty-two days and was rescued by chance."

"Later I found out that it was actually a pirate king's flagship. It was probably when I met us at the weakest time that I made me pick up this big advantage."

"I was fortunately become a tool for the New World Fleet to boast about military achievements. My record was exponentially amplified, I received the San Mitchell Medal, and was promoted to a second lieutenant, completing the leap from a soldier to an officer."

"In the next ten years, I began to fight, experienced 127 naval battles, 66 victories, and no defeat. My military rank was promoted from a young lieutenant to a major, and to a high position that many noble children dare not even imagine."

"However, invincibility cannot change anything. Four years ago, I competed for the position of lieutenant colonel with a colleague who was far inferior to my ability, and lost completely. This defeat made me think I saw through everything. I took the initiative to apply to the calm Atlantic Defense Fleet, and began to pursue pleasure, no longer force myself to advance..."

"Until I met that adult."

Zirned smiled with gratitude and gratitude: "Sir, tell me that the stereotyped nobles only recognize their own origins. If I have the ambition to become a general, the first thing I need to improve is my own origins."

"So... Sir Prio, I deeply love the daughter of the daughter, Miss Emily. Even if there is a difference in magnitude and nobility, even if she doesn't love me, I hope to be her companion for life."

"I am willing to marry into my family! Abandon your surname, abandon your family, take your noble surname as your surname, and take the interests of the Prio family as yours. Be loyal all your life and never betray the judgment!"

"This is also of great benefit to you. You are the speaker of a remote town. The military and political circles have no foundation and have no son to inherit the family business. You only have three daughters, but we all know that women cannot defend the family business, and this world... is still a world of men."

The long speech finally ended, and Zirned could no longer stand up straight as if he had been exhausted.

He softened tiredly, gasped, and paused word by word.

"I've shown all my cards, Jazz. I hope this will make you feel my sincerity, and then...please tell me your answer!"

There was a moment of silence in the study.

Previously, there was space where Zirned did not speak to Sir Prio, but now space is everywhere, so Jazz doesn't know how to start.

identity.

The Atlantic Defense Fleet is the protection and reliance of all ports along the Martinique's Pan-Atlantic coast, and is the only regular maritime armed force.

As the real captain who controls the Lucky Horseshoe, Zirned is not as humble as he himself said. Everyone with reason and judgment knows that his influence in the town is only higher than that of the nameless Speaker.

Being able to win over such a person is equivalent to a good thing for Sir Prio, but Zirned acted too sincere and modest, and the Jazz lost his sense of reality.

First of all, he must confirm his sincerity!

The Jazz said with such thoughts: "Mr. Major, although I have heard some strange rumors these days, to be honest, I have never tried to take them as real."

"Do you think those rumors were spread by me?"

"At least, most of it, I heard that your adjutant protested to the mayor for some rumors that hurt your reputation."

Zirned simply shook his head: "Whether you believe it or not, those rumors have nothing to do with me. I only know that some people try to help me, some try to harm me, and some people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. The behind this matter is very complicated and people can't see through the truth for a while."

Sir Prio raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Suppose that those rumors do have nothing to do with you, what reason do you have to choose Ainie, or, in other words, Prio's house."

"Of course it's love."

"You keep saying love, but IMHO, from your lengthy speech, I have not heard your love for Ainie."

"It's love." Zirned looked solemn, "I love your daughter, love wealth, love power, your daughter is the intersection of all desires and the only choice that deserves all my efforts."

The difference on the jazz's face became even thicker.

"Although I don't want to say that, Martinique is richer than me, and people are nobler than me. I'm not even the most powerful person in Le Loran... As for Ainie's beauty, I think that should not be within your consideration."

"Why ask me knowingly, sir." Zirned sighed disappointedly, "Miss Emily is the best choice. Her value is not brought to her by the Prio family, but from the wishes of another nobleman. It is the same for me and you. Miss Emily will become our bond with that nobleman."

"That noble man?"

"Mr. Ziegfeld Narlo, I still don't know his identity. He disdained to say that others would not want to tell me. But in my opinion, you should know his identity. There is also Mr. Renault and many celebrities in the town. Mr. Narlo's identity should not be a secret to them."

"Narlo...Mr.." The Sir stared at Zirned, "Mr. Captain means that your union with Ainie is his expectation?"

"Yes, the sir told me personally that I hope I can give Miss Emily loyalty and happiness. That is Mr. Mr.'s goodness. Only by giving everything to satisfy Mr. Mr.'s wishes can I get the desired reward."

"This... was really beyond my expectations."

Sir Prio stood up, walked around and around twice, constantly.

When he reached the sixth lap, he stopped: "Captain... Zirne... Nesi, I remember Mr. Narlo's ship had left the port, right?"

"About an hour and a half ago." Zirned glanced at his pocket watch, "I watched the night when Mr.'s boat sailed into."

"Since that's the case... I really want to satisfy your wishes. The Prio family welcomes you an outstanding son-in-law, but this is no longer a decision I can make. Aini is sad in the room. If we want to achieve Mr. Narlo's wish, you need to convince her personally."
