Chapter 468
Lady Miranda and her grandfather talked a few more times in the following days.
But though the old earl was full of praises of all the stuff Alxx had invented, saying things such as:
"This new 'paper' will certainly replace the papyrus."
"The soaps will be a hit with all kinds of nobility."
"These glasswares must be made by the gods," and
"This 'sugar' will likely start wars,"
He still refused to entertain the idea.
To him, this Alexander seemed to have too many good things with too little to protect himself.
But finally, after hearing a lot of whining from Miranda, the old man at last promised that he would consider it his Miranda could become Mother Earl.
This basically meant if Miranda gave birth to a boy, then the earl could consider naming the child his heir.
