Chapter 30: The Exposed
Charlotte wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and exhaled deeply. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although he can be regarded as having experienced a lot of ups and downs and vicious battles, this kind of alternative tension and excitement is the first time.
He tidied up his clothes, and rarely sorted out his image in front of the dressing mirror, and then he pushed open the door with a pretending to be awake from a big dream.
He saw that a group of nobles led by Count Cecil were gathering in front of Lawrence's gate, and finally he did not ignore the rules of the game, and he did not bring any of those noble private soldiers, and even if the sleek earl made up his mind to tear his face, he did not forget to leave a way back for himself.
"What's wrong?" Charlotte pretended to be curious and pushed away the crowd, "Lord Earl, I heard the commotion in the castle early in the morning, is something going on?"
Beside Count Cecil, Salik, who had just been intimidated by Charlotte, was staring at him with gloomy eyes. Earl Cecil looked at Charlotte, who was in full clothes, and then at Salik, who was gloomy, and laughed.
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Grand Duke. Yesterday there was a group of unscrupulous thieves in the castle, and I fear they will disturb your guests. That's why I came over to see what was going on. He bowed slightly, "Hopefully that doesn't disturb your dreams." ”
"Really? I said how could it be so lively early in the morning. Charlotte shrugged, "Thank you for your concern, Count." It's rude, but I still want to ask, do you need my help?"
"That's the best!" said the Count's squinting eyes, "I actually see thieves fleeing to this level, so if you would let me in and have a look......"
Before he could finish speaking, Lawrence's door was opened from within.
Archduke Lawrence, dressed in a mink jacket, pushed the door open, straightened his collar and asked in a deep voice, "I'm sorry." Count Cecil, did you just say something?"
Although similar to ordinary pleasantries, Lawrence's displeasure can be felt by anyone. The uncrowned king from the north exuded an iron-blooded aura, and the nobles of the Earl of Cecil were intimidated by it, and involuntarily took a few steps back.
Only the Count Cecil was still calm, he bowed his head deeply, and said earnestly, "I am sorry for my transgression, but last night not only the king's killer was robbed, but even my family treasure was stolen by shameless thieves. I have heard that you are the King of Justice in the North, and I am sure you will not refuse the earnest request of a friendly neighbor!"
He raised his head and folded his hands together with a pleading expression, "Okay, okay, Grand Duke, if your family treasure holy sword is stolen, even His Majesty's bedroom will not be able to stop your determination to find your family treasure!"
Lawrence stared at Count Cecil like a lion on his head, and only when the Count's forehead was sweating, did he look at Charlotte on the other side.
The latter winked at him with his right eye.
"Please, Count Cecil. "But remember, take care of your men, and if they do something they shouldn't, I'll let them know the consequences of offending an archduke!"
"Thank you for your generosity!" Count Cecil gestured to his vassals, "rest assured, Grand Duke, if any fool dares to commit stupidity, I will let him learn the lesson he deserves. ”
The Earl of Cecil pretended to look at Lawrence's door for a while, and then he quickly exited the room and walked towards Charlotte's room.
This time again, nothing!
Even after Salik was drunk out of the room, Charlotte took the utmost care to clean up all traces.
At this point, Count Cecil's face had become extremely ugly. He realized that he might be a step too late, and he underestimated the young people from the North. But at this moment, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he sent someone to check the rooms of Vivian, Lolita, Leonard, Claire and others at the same time, and he straightened his collar and came to Vivien Leigh's door.
As for Sylvia, I don't know if it was a deliberate omission or some reason, he didn't seem to have any intention of checking it at all.
As soon as he raised his hand to the door, Vivien Leigh pushed it open.
"I heard it all!" Fei Wenli looked a little nervous, as a princess of a country, she had never experienced such an experience.
This made her feel more nervous at the moment than at the beginning!
"Look at it, but remember! Don't rummage through my personal belongings!" she said, stepping out of the room and over to Charlotte.
Earl Cecil and Salic entered the room. At the moment, the room is almost cleanly kept, and it looks like the boudoir of an ordinary aristocratic lady.
The thick quilt was neatly folded, the items on the desk were neatly arranged, and Vivien Leigh's underwear was placed in a small suitcase and rested in the corner of the wall.
Salik pointed to the small suitcase and winked at Count Cecil.
But the Count would not ignore the rules of the game as he did, even though he knew that the night coat was most likely in a small suitcase, but the Count still did not dare to gamble.
Being able to agree with him to explore the room is already the bottom line of the Archduke Lawrence, and once the Count opens the chest and doesn't find what he wants, the Earls of Cecil and the Duchy of Erosa will become undying enemies!
Wantonly overturning a princess's personal belongings is a bottom line that even His Majesty the Emperor does not dare to touch easily.
The Earl of Cecil was aware of his imminent defeat, and in fact he realised that the trip would most likely be fruitless as soon as Salik reported that Charlotte had returned to the room. But out of the luck that the other party could not destroy all the evidence in a very short time, he still made this risky choice.
Now, he must face the taunts and wrath of the Northern Kings!
At the door, Vivien Leigh, who was standing side by side with Charlotte and Claire, breathed a sigh of relief, she hugged her chest and said mockingly, "What's the matter, Lord Earl, could it be that the holy sword is your stolen family treasure?"
She pointed to the holy sword resting beside the bed, the golden scabbard and the dragon's head sword as if cast into a single unit, more charming than any work of art, but also more dangerous than any weapon.
It was a silent threat from the Silver Dragon Princess!
Count Cecil wiped his sweat, and his excellent psychological qualities allowed him to still talk eloquently in the face of such a predicament, "Where! No matter how stupid and arrogant I am, I don't dare to say such nonsense......"
He walked out of the room with his head bowed and slightly hunched, and lowered his posture.
Charlotte snorted coldly, and was about to taunt her, but suddenly saw something's face change.
On the other side, Salik stepped on the carpet of the guest room, and the otherwise warm carpet smelled cold. Salik lifted his foot in confusion and noticed that the carpet was soaked in a puddle of dirty water.
With an excited expression on his doggy-like face, he crouched down, pinched the water stain with his fingers, and sniffed it to his nose.
Count Cecil stopped, and Charlotte and the other three parties turned extremely ugly.
"Your Highness Princess, could you please explain!" Salik stood up, his eyes almost popping out, and he spread his hand towards Vivien Leigh, "Why is there a stain of sewage in your room?"
The inexperienced Vivien Leigh made the mistake of destroying the nightwalk while ignoring other evidence.
For example, of the three, only Vivien Leigh has ever been in a water prison!
