Kapitel 222: Press C to Hide (1)

Court Count Jimier Berollinger.

'Court Count' means a count who serves in the royal court.

It's a position that can wield immense power, sometimes acting as the king's proxy.

Thus, although Berollinger's title was count, he enjoyed influence comparable to any duke or marquis.

Moreover, Jimier Berollinger was an exceptional individual.

The title "old fox" was given by political figures who feared him.

Though his appearance was unremarkable with his short stature and goat-like beard.

Everyone knew that the kingdom's major and minor affairs were decided in his private chamber when he retired from court.

Jimier was truly living power.

Now this Court Count was reading documents while drinking tea.

The glasses perched on his nose looked precariously close to sliding off.

He casually spoke.

"The gift, did they receive our gift over there?"

The Court Count's manner of speech was lighter than expected.
