Vivian called Evans over for questioning. He and Victor had been educating Karna for ten days. I wonder what the effect was?
"Your face?" Vivian saw a few scratches on Evans' handsome face, which looked like nail marks.
"Karna's nails were too long. I wanted to cut them off for him, but he not only bit two servants, but also scratched my face." Evans was very irritated. He has younger siblings and is relatively good at taking care of children. A human being, but Karna is not a human being at all!
"What did Victor teach him?"
Vivian was curious about how Victor was going to tame Karna with Evans watching. If he did it too obviously, Evans would definitely report it to himself.
"Young master shows up twice a day, each time during meal time. I don't know exactly what he does." Evans sighed.
The young master would spend two hours every day educating Karna, but he would drive everyone out during the education, so no one knew what he was doing inside?
"Then let's go take a look. It's almost time for lunch." Vivian put her hand on Evans' arm.
Karna wore chains on his feet and followed the gardener to weed. His messy hair covered his eyes, making him look like a homeless man.
Although no one taught them, they also knew that if they wanted to eat, they had to work, otherwise they would not starve to death or be beaten to death.
"Cut his hair. He looks too ugly and is prone to lice." Vivian commented from a distance.
"Yes." Evans did not refute.
Several people watched him weeding and digging the ground, and after a while there was a rapid ringing of a bell. Karna was like a child who heard the bell ringing and ran madly in the direction of the bell.
"Sister, what are you doing here?" It turned out that the person ringing the bell was Victor, and he was a little surprised to see Vivian.
"Do you mind if I watch your education process?"
"Of course, I hope my sister doesn't feel uncomfortable."
Victor's method of training Karna is very simple, that is, stick and carrot. If you don't want to starve to death, you have to obey his orders and do something. If you do something wrong, you will make a cut on your body with a knife.
Victor likes to watch people bleed, and Karna is a good training tool, even if he is killed, no one will care. He is just a homeless man with no identity, no family, and no way of complaining.
However, in front of everyone, Victor did not take out the knife, but only cracked the whip when Karna did something wrong.
Karna can now understand simple commands, but his scarlet eyes look dangerous. Old and new scars crawled on his body like scorpions, and there were burn marks on his back. It seemed that the people in the village did not just drive him out...
"If you call me master, I will make your life better." Vivian looked at the shivering child in the corner.
Karna raised his head and stared at her, perhaps considering her identity, or perhaps not understanding. In any case, he didn't speak for many years and usually growled like a wild animal.
"Master." Vivian reminded patiently.
Karna thought that this man's eyes were beautiful, like the clear blue sky. There is no disgust or sympathy there, just a vast and transparent world.
"Lord, Lord, Master."
Karna's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken drum. But he didn't realize it, instead he lowered his head uneasily.
"So good."
Vivian stretched out her hand and he took two steps back in fright.
"Your hair is too annoying and needs to be cut off." Vivian gently rubbed his messy hair.
Karna didn't understand why this person's hand didn't hurt at all. Was her strength too weak?
Victor was furious. He finally found the tool he had taken advantage of, why was it taken away like this?
"Sister, didn't you say that you would leave the education to me and Evans? What are you doing now?"
"Victor, you have a lot to do from today on, and you don't have time to waste on him."
"What can I do?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
For the next week, Vivian took Victor out for research every day as she prepared to do business. The nobles care about luxury goods, while the common people care about cheap daily necessities.
In the second week, Vivian asked Victor to write a research report. The topic was how to make the north richer and more suitable for people to live in?
Victor wrote three reports, but unfortunately each of them was criticized to pieces by Vivian, which made him so angry that he wanted to kill someone on the spot.
The next month, Vivian applied to the Duke to inspect the territory, and the Duke agreed. The two siblings set out from the wealthy city of Semir and passed through impoverished villages and saw countless people selling their bodies and souls just to stay alive.
When they returned to the Duke's Palace again, Princess Elena sent a letter to Vivian, which detailed the results of the trial of the "Orphanage Child Abuse" case.
The queen and the second prince tried their best to save the Royston family. The prince had a conflict with Lady Irene because of Eunice, and she decided to break off the engagement with Levon Royston.
In order to get the king to agree to his engagement to Eunice, the crown prince decided to donate the mine. It is said that the iron mine was discovered by Eunice.
Vivian's eyes lit up when she saw the word "mine". In the original plot, the heroine relied on the plot to find iron ore, gold, and diamonds, and then bought the land at a low price in advance to earn a lot of money.
The king obtained the mine and happily agreed to Eunice's engagement to the crown prince. As for getting married, it depends on what the crown prince will give in exchange for it. Anyway, he will not engage in loss-making business.
Vivian also knew that there was a mine in the north. Later, after Duke Klein's palace disappeared, the crown prince promoted Eunice's father from a destitute Earl to Duke of the North.
The nobles objected one after another. Eunice found the blue diamond in the north and dedicated it to the royal family in the name of her father. This allowed the earl to become the duke smoothly.
Although she doesn't want to rob the heroine of her adventure, she also doesn't want Duke Klein's Palace to disappear, otherwise Vivian will have no place to live when the mission is over.
She needs this mine, of course, not for the royal family, nor for Duke Klein, but to develop the north and enhance her own influence.
If she dared to encourage Princess Elena to fight for the throne, then she would have the courage to fight with Victor for the inheritance rights of the Duke's Palace. Rather than leaving it to a madman, let normal people manage it.
Duke Klein received a report written by two children. Victor considered the issue completely from the perspective of the family. Vivian was different. She wanted to make the entire north richer.
"Vivian, is the north more important to you than the family?" The north is very large, with one duke, two earls, three viscounts, and five barons.
Even though their territory is not large, as long as they exist, they may threaten the development of the Klein family.
"Father, anything as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it. If the nobles in the north unite, then the royal family will not have anything to worry about." Vivian said confidently.
Unlike other places, the north has low crop yields due to snow all year round, so the population is small and the economy is not developed.
