"Whew, whew..."

Sean, who was leading Vivien through the crowd, was leaning on the mailbox on the side of the road, gulping in a big breath of fresh air, but was startled by the sudden loud noise behind him.

Turning around and looking, I saw that the two obviously opposing camps raised their hands and shouted at the same time, after all, he just wanted to get out, and he didn't really want to elope with this violent lady, thinking about Sean, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Monks, you old bastard, it's really over now." ”

With Vivian's iron fist named Justice in mind, Sean couldn't help but shudder, and turned his head to look at Vivian only to see that the eldest lady was muttering something incessantly.

......

"Dead, dead..."

Vivien's eyes were blank, the corners of her mouth opened and closed, and she kept repeating this sentence until she saw Sean's stiff smiling face appear in her eyes, she came back to her senses slightly, and said, "No need to apologize, now go and save Lady Maria, and you are dead, and I am also dead." ”

"Uh... Well, Vivien—" Before Sean could finish speaking, Vivien took the hands of the two of them, and ran forward quickly, passing through the carriages that were stuck in the northern section of the town square, until they were close to the place where traffic was gradually resuming.

Eventually, Vivien dragged Sean to a brown carriage on the side of the road, the doors flanked by simple carvings and glass hung with silk curtains.

Under Sean's frightened gaze, Vivien violently pulled away the carriage, held up his police ID card to the middle-aged balding man in a suit and smoking a pipe in the carriage, and said, "I am the deputy chief of the Southern District Police, Vivian Chels, and now I will requisition your carriage." ”

However, Vivien's identity did not seem to frighten the man, and he took a puff of his pipe without hurry, and after exhaling a thick smoke, he glanced at it contemptuously and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Chief, I'm a councillor of the Steam Capital, and I'm about to go to the town hall to participate in the meeting, so I'm very sorry I can't lend you the carriage." ”

"Also, you can't just borrow my carriage from anyone with a so-called police ID, you must know that this is a carriage built with nearly 30,000 gold eagle coins from me. ”

Vivien calmly looked at the high-spirited Mr. Senator, put away her police card, and took out a metal piece of a thorny firebird pattern from her pocket and displayed it in front of the Councillor.

"So, to reintroduce you, I'm Vivian Chels of the Thorn Bird family, and now I'm going to elope with my lover Sean Morrison, and I'll need to requisition your carriage. Vivien also raised Sean's left hand, which was in her hand, and continued: "Of course sir, you have the right to refuse me, but if my father catches me, he will not thank you I don't know, but I will definitely take revenge on you, I guarantee Mr. Councillor." ”

Suddenly, the arrogant gentleman heard the Thorn Bird family, his face kept changing, and finally squeezed out an ugly smile at Vivien, obviously he knew the weight of this badge, so he also knew that this Thorn Bird Count had been angry with the hospital several times but she was helpless.

"Absolutely... Of course..."

With that, the Councillor stepped out of the carriage and gestured to Vivien and Sean inviting them to board.

"Smack"

Vivien closed the carriage door and opened all the windows, and her crisp voice came out, "As fast as possible, go to 113 St. George's Quarter." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the coachman drove forward without hesitation, leaving only the fat councillor who wanted to cry without tears.

In the carriage

Vivien let go of Sean's hand, took off her hat, and once again fell into a sluggish state, letting her long red hair dance wildly in the wind blowing through the window.

"Vivien, are you alright? ”

Sean, who was sitting across from Vivien, looked at her empty eyes and greeted her tentatively.

"Hehe, Sean, do you think my dad wouldn't know about it? ”

"Actually, don't be so nervous, you can explain to your father that we are here to save people, this is just a lie to get out, after all, for the people of the empire who advocate romance, the elopement of the rich lady with the poor boy is the most dramatic, and it is also the most easy to believe. ”

Vivian, who was leaning on the comfortable carriage seat, couldn't help but laugh when she saw Sean's panicked explanation, smiled brightly, and said, "It's okay, no need to explain." ”

"Huh?"

I saw Vivien's sudden stunning smile, especially the big charming eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

"Sean, do you know why that fat councilor was scared like that when he heard that I was the eldest lady of the Thorn Bird?"

"Vivien, you mean?"

Vivian looked at Sean with a fluke look, nodded decisively, and showed a demonic smile, "You guessed right, he works for our family, so my dad will definitely know about it, Sean, you are dead, hahaha." ”

Sean couldn't stand the laughing almost crazy young lady anymore, and she was clearly going to drag herself into the water.

"I said, aren't you afraid that your father will marry you off to me in anger?"

"Huh? It can't be Sean. ”

"And what about my proposal to your father, though you may be rude, but it is undeniable that Miss Vivienne is a blooming rose, thorny and beautiful..."

Before he could finish speaking, Vivien hit Sean in the shin with a powerful kick that hurt him so much that he fell into the carriage, causing it to shake.

"Thank you, Mr. Sean, for the compliment, but I suddenly think how good it would be for you to be dumb. Vivien, who had kicked Sean, patted her towering chest to ease the anger in her heart, and said in the most elegant posture of her life.

"You're welcome, for I've always thought that Miss Vivien is the child favored by the goddess of beauty, if you don't move, of course. Sean, who was rubbing his legs with bared teeth, glared at Vivien not to be outdone.

...

While the two were glaring at each other, the coachman, who had been silently driving the carriage, heard in their ears: "Miss Vivian, sir, 113 St. George's Quarter, is coming soon. ”

Hearing this, the two men in the carriage stopped sneering at each other, and finally the carriage came to a steady stop in front of a three-story villa with yellow copper decorations inlaid around the whole white.

The decorative ceiling of the house is decorated with roses and large circular reliefs made of plaster handed down from classical times, and a large platform covered with vines above the doorway, the door is closed, and the windows for the living room are closed and hidden by curtains.

Sean looked at the fenced gate that had not yet been closed, his heart tightened, his eyes motioned for Vivien to stay in the carriage, he took out the holster that had been hidden in his suit, and pulled out a new but well-maintained revolver.

"Sean, you're actually hiding a prohibited firearm. ”

Vivien looked at Sean, who was pressing orange-yellow bullets into the nest one by one, and said with great joy.

"You don't want to arrest me now. Sean, who had finished the bullet, glanced at someone who was excited.

"Unless, of course, you ask me to come with you. ”

"No, I can't. Sean immediately refused.

"Why?"

Facing Vivian's question, Sean pointed to her police uniform, "Your police uniform will expose us and easily put Lady Maria in danger, believe me, Vivien." ”

After saying that, Sean picked up the cane beside him, got out of the carriage and walked towards the closed house.

"Wait. Vivien stopped Sean, only to see her bite her lower lip and say, "If you are in danger, you have to shoot as soon as possible, I will go to save you, and be careful." ”

This time Sean didn't speak, gave the eldest lady a big smile, and made an exaggerated gentlemanly salute and turned and walked in.

"Da, da, da..."

The crisp sound of the hardwood cane and pestle on the stone slab in front of Ms. Maria's house was more like a knock on Sean's heart, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath of air to relieve his tension.

Subconsciously touched the holster hidden behind his waist that was conducive to the position of drawing the gun, Sean's nervous expression began to change, and he had the same smile on his face as usual, as if he was a guest, so he rang the doorbell slightly generously.

"Jingle bell, ding bell..."

The melodious ringing of the bell lingered throughout the villa, but unfortunately there was no sound from inside, only Sean rang the doorbell again and again.

Just as Sean was frowning and about to look for another way to enter the door, a hoarse male voice suddenly came from inside the room:

"Who are you looking for".

Standing in the doorway, Sean could clearly feel the man behind the door looking at his murderous eyes through the cat's eyes.

However, Sean still maintained his composure, made sure that there would be no other changes on his face, still maintained a smile, took off his hat and saluted,

"Hello sir, I'm Lady Maria's personal advisor, Sean Morrison, and I have a business to discuss with you, sir. ”

"My wife's personal advisor, you should go to her, not me. ”

The man's tone inside the door was still cold and stiff.

Sean, who was rejected, had a hint of instinctive greed on his face, and continued to add: "Sir, you may not know that my temporary contract with Lady Maria has ended, and now I want to talk to you about a business, about your marriage?"

With his free hand, Sean took out the envelope from his clothes that Lady Maria had paid him before, with her seal on it.

The man continued to look at Sean's letterhead through the cat's eyes in silence, and after a while, it seemed that he had to think for a while before opening the door, and a slightly softening voice slowly came, "Please come in, Mr. Morrison." ”
