Bacon Frederick's Residence
"Son, a few men are here to see you," Lady Susan said with a bright smile as she entered.
"Mother, what are you up to?" asked Bacon Frederick, the third son of the late King George. He could already guess what his mother was thinking, given the current situation.
"I'm not up to anything. It's just that a few nobles are here to see you," Lady Susan replied. She wondered why she had a son with no ambition.
"Are they here to see me, or did you invite them?" Frederick didn't look eager to meet the nobles.
"Son, I didn't!" Lady Susan shook her head, feigning innocence. Frederick looked at her, unconvinced.
"Trust Mother," Lady Susan said. It wasn't that she didn't have the idea of forming alliances with the lords in the royal capital—it was just that many of them looked down on her. Now that they had come willingly, of course she was pleased.
