Chapter 486
"Grand Master Varka." Frederica saluted, her gaze falling on Gu Chen.
She had already heard from the reporting knight that this young Grand Instructor of the Knights had been promoted to Deputy Grand Master.
Only twelve years old and already ranked among the high-level officials of Mondstadt!
This made Frederica's gaze toward Gu Chen full of appreciation.
"Lady Frederica, it's been a long time. I hope it's not an intrusion to visit uninvited?" Varka seemed to be somewhat familiar with her, speaking with a teasing tone.
"How could it be?" Frederica reached out with a smile: "Please."
Walking into the Gunnhildr family manor, they soon arrived inside.
The Gunnhildr family was not as rich as the Ragnvindr family, nor did they control power as tightly as the Lawrence family.
The interior decoration did not appear magnificent, but instead gave people a sense of history.
As a family that had been protecting Mondstadt since the day the first epic of Mondstadt was written, this sense of history was their pride.
Everyone took their seats.
After chatting about the recent situation for a while, Varka said: "Lady, shouldn't the children of the Gunnhildr family of this generation be sent to the Knights?"
Frederica was stunned when she heard this, then laughed: "The Grand Master came in person for such a small matter?"
The Gunnhildr family had many knights. To avoid suspicion, this family rarely participated in the internal affairs of the Knights, giving a feeling of living in seclusion in the city.
Therefore, for some recent developments in the Knights, Frederica could only rely on some knights within the clan to tell her.
"Is the Knights so short of manpower now?" Frederica asked with some surprise.
"Not really."
Varka knew she had misunderstood, so he waved his hand immediately, and then said with a full face of smiles: "What do you think of my Deputy Grand Master?"
Frederica turned to look at Gu Chen.
Young, steady, and under careful scrutiny, he gave people a feeling of a crouching tiger.
After Frederica nodded secretly, she said: "Only twelve years old and serving as Deputy Grand Master, he is already a legend among legends!"
"Lady, you flatter me." Gu Chen nodded in acknowledgment.
Varka smiled and said: "27 years old and serving as Deputy Grand Master, the Cavalry Captain is also a twelve-year-old little guy."
"Lady, the Knights are becoming young and full of power, so we need more fresh blood to support this Knights that is already in a middle-aged state to return to a young appearance. Do you understand?" Varka said earnestly.
Frederica began to think.
Everything Varka said was explaining to her that the Knights were becoming young.
Because the high-level officials of the Knights already had young faces, and they were excessively young!
Frederica laughed: "So you set your sights on the young seeds in my family?"
"Of course!"
Varka nodded without covering it up, and then asked: "You certainly wouldn't be reluctant, right?"
Frederica said helplessly: "I originally wanted to let them train for two more years before letting them take the exam for the Knights. Are you a bit too eager? Will being too young affect the operation of the Knights?"
Varka knew Frederica had already agreed.
She had no reason to object.
Hearing her inquiry, Varka said sternly: "Lady, don't worry. Being too young doesn't matter, as long as the helmsman is mature and steady enough, then there is no problem!"
Frederica nodded slightly, and then said to the maid on the side: "Go call Jean over."
"Yes."
The maid left.
Varka smiled and tentatively asked: "I heard that Jean is the most excellent one in your family's young generation?"
Speaking of Jean, Frederica said with pride: "That goes without saying!"
Before long, the maid brought a little girl over.
As soon as she arrived, the little girl saluted Frederica: "Mother."
Without Frederica's reminder, she very politely saluted Varka and Gu Chen: "Jean Gunnhildr pays her respects to the Grand Master and the Deputy Grand Master."
