Chapter Eighty-Three: The Other Side of the Royal Family
The kyanite ring on Fenice's hand appeared with a faint blue light, enveloping the entire office, which could turn the user's space into a silent space, and each time Fenices used it to send a message to Onosla. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Otherwise, Dr. Gouna's ubiquitous bugging device is very scary, the last time she found a simulated kissing fish in the aquarium, there was a bugging device in the belly of the fish, and in the sand and gravel of the potted plant, under the mugster, and in the exhaust pipe of the magic air conditioner, all of which made her find the bugging. It can be seen that Dr. Guna suspects that there are spies hidden in the Extreme Cold Elves, and because of her intelligence, the case of missing people in the southern suburbs of the royal capital has been taken seriously by the wind of adjudication. Another increase in missing persons was avoided.
As the light of silence emanated, Fenicex dialed the red magic phone, and soon Onosla's voice was heard.
"Phenix, what's going on over there, what's new?" Onosla's soft, pleasant voice came.
"Onosra, I noticed that Dr. Guna has started to be suspicious of me, by the way, just now the Birmingham assistant next to Guna asked me to go to the auction in Delo County and let me buy the Demon Heart, what is the purpose of this matter."
Fenicex asked.
"The auction in Delo County, sure enough, Guna participated in this auction in order to buy the Demon Heart, as for letting you participate, did you agree?"
Onosra asked.
"Onosra, I agreed, because if I don't agree, Guna may attack me, so I'm very worried that my identity will be revealed, I think they want me to be a substitute for the dead, or if there is a traitor in your ruling, otherwise how can anyone know this kind of information."
Fenix asked anxiously.
"You mean the information has leaked, I don't think it's likely, this mission is a confidential mission, and in the wind of judgment, except for me and the new Sergeant Major Caroline, and Ms. Bailiel, no one else knows about this information."
Ornosra said that this time the mission was very secretive, except for himself and Lady Bailiel, and Caroline had been personally selected by Comberalia, so it could not be a spy. Caroline had just moved to a new office today, and she couldn't be so familiar with the people in the office, and she was the only one who knew the information.
"Ornosla, have you guessed who stole the information, otherwise how could a cunning old fox like Dr. Guna let me go to the auction and buy the demon heart for her."
Fenice said anxiously.
If Dr. Guna knew that he was a spy, the consequences would be quite serious, and he might not be able to get out safely even if he left the Arctic Elf right now. Dr. Gouna's eyeliner must have a lot of power in the royal capital.
"Fenix, don't worry, just go back to the Violet Apartment and get ready, and then you go to the auction, and I will definitely find a way to get you out safely without arousing their suspicion."
Onosra said softly, he didn't agree with Fenix's willingness to become an undercover agent in the Arctic Elves, because it was a very dangerous mission. But for the sake of Onosra's intelligence mission, Fenix would rather sacrifice herself than stay in the Arctic Elves and watch out for Dr. Gona's every move. This old woman, ostensibly contributing to the planetary resources of the kingdom, is actually carrying out unspeakable secrets, especially the disappearance of people in the northwest of the royal capital, which has a lot to do with her.
"Onosla, you also have to take good care of yourself, I'm not by your side, are you missing me?" Fenix said with a sweet smile.
"I will miss you all the time, don't worry, after you leave the Extreme Cold Fairy this time, I will spend more time with you, I will hang up first, there are still many things to deal with, remember, protect yourself well, notify me immediately if there is danger."
Onosra said softly.
"I will, goodbye." Fenix reluctantly hung up the red phone.
Hopefully, this time I'll be able to catch Dr. Guna and send them to Tartarus in one fell swoop, never to turn over.
In the southwestern part of the royal capital, the county of Lygaia, which was inhabited by the royal family of King Bradrick. It was the residence of the royal family, the quaint and gorgeous manors are located under the endless peaks, in the spring, the flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers fills the whole county of Lygaia, in the summer, the green trees here bring a cool atmosphere, in the autumn, the red maple here is like fire, as if the county of Lygaia is clothed in a red veil, and in the winter, it is covered with snow, as if the earth is dyed into a silvery world.
In the heart of County Lygaia, the family of the Lord Neptune lived. The Lord's Manor of Neptune is quaint and has a history of more than 100 years, left by the grandfather of the Lord of Neptune. The pattern in the courtyard is exquisite, planted on both sides of the neatly manicured green lawn, like a huge natural emerald, the flower garden is planted with beautiful and elegant bellflower and fragrant floating purple lily, the middle of the five-layer fountain flows with clear spring water, in front of the fountain is the quaint atmosphere of the manor, the simple bricks and stones and ingenious design, it is simply the existence of a fairyland on earth.
As the younger brother of King Bradrick, Lord Neptune's indifferent personality to fame and fortune made him never like other members of the royal family, always lustful for profit, and delusional to oust the young Princess Tiffany from the throne after the king's return. Therefore, the power struggle within the royal family has also formed an undercurrent vortex, threatening Princess Tiffany's position as crown prince.
Lord Neptune's hobby was to collect ancient books and plant flowers, except for the things given by the king and the monthly royal family income from the royal government, he had no other income at all, unlike other royal families who accepted bribes from lower-ranking nobles, nor like nobles who could start their own industries and obtain economic income.
But he felt that it would be good to live a leisurely life, and he married Sarathea, the daughter of the Duke of Belgrave, a great nobleman, and now has two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter Miss is 21 years old this year, and she has not worked in any department since graduation, as a member of the royal family, Miss is the kind of royal lady who only knows how to enjoy, because she is the daughter of Sarathea, so she has developed the arrogant character of the royal lady since she was a child.
The youngest daughter, Beludandi, is not Sarathia's own daughter, but the daughter of a commoner-born woman. The woman's name was Lady Purple Lily, her real name was Zigruna, and she was Lord Neptune's lover. Because of the oppression of the family, King Neptune married the arrogant Duchess Sarathea, and his married life was not very happy. As the piano teacher of Sarahasia's son, the young Zigruna was not only beautiful as a flower, but also gentle and considerate, so that King Neptune seemed to see the light in his disheartened married life, so King Neptune and Zigruna became secret lovers. However, after Sarathea found out, she was furious and forced King Neptune to drive Sigruna out of the Lord's estate, but she didn't expect that the left Sigruna already had a child of King Neptune, and she died after she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.
And let the baby girl be sent to the king's manor, and under the mediation of the king, Sarathea had to adopt the baby girl and take it as her own daughter, named Beludindy.
However, in the depths of Sarathea's heart, every time she saw the beautiful Beludindy, she thought of Zigruna. Especially her beautiful cherry pink long hair and beautiful ice blue pupils, she completely inherited her mother's beauty, which made her feel gritted every time she saw it, but on the surface, she still had to pretend to be the gentle and loving that a mother should have.
The purple lilies in the courtyard were also planted in honor of Zigruna. Every time she saw Lord Neptune staring at the Purple Lily, Sarathea felt angry, but there was no way, her husband didn't have a good opinion of her, because she succeeded in forcing Zigruna away and leaving her without good medical care, causing her to die of postpartum hemorrhage. Lord Neptune has always been obsessed with himself for this matter and cannot forgive him.
Although she defended her marriage, she lost her love and did not get a trace of tenderness from her husband.
Because of Sigruna's death, the Neptune prince began to become depressed, indifferent to fame and fortune, and no longer cared about the affairs of the royal family.
Sarathia, who has always been extravagant and wasteful, was indignant when she saw that she could only get the king's holiday gifts every month and the living expenses of the royal government of 30,000 muses per month. As the Duke's daughter and the Princess's wife, she actually found that the dresses and jewels of the countess were more exquisite and precious than her at the Queen's birthday party, and she had always loved vanity, and she felt unbearable for her husband's indifferent fame and fortune.
This kind of quiet and elegant day is what the ghost wants, she is a duchess, how can she be more shabby than those countesses.
In a study in the Prince's Manor, a noblewoman of about 45 years old, with blonde hair in a bun, a pair of light blue eyes set on her round face that still charms, a plump figure wearing a royal blue high-necked lace skirt, a ruby ring on her round fingers, an emerald necklace on her chest, and a string of gold tassel earrings on her earlobes, looked like a shrewd and cunning noblewoman, she was Sarathea Belgrave, the wife of the Lord of Neptune.
Because his family's crystal ore business was showing signs of decline, her father, who was already eighty years old, called her last night to ask her, the daughter of the noble Duchess, to help her eldest brother, the Little Duke of Belgrave, solve the current crisis.
Because the Principality of Cleo's ore production has been scarce recently, and the quality of the exported crystal ore is much worse than before, the crystal ore business of the young Duke of Belgrave has also plummeted. Because there was not enough money to run the ore company, and the current Duke of Belgrave was also in debt, the only hope was that she, the daughter of the Duchess, could help.
Fortunately, Lord Neptune handed over a lot of things at home to Sarathea, so Saracia secretly took some of the precious porcelain that the old lord had kept in the basement and sold them.
I didn't expect to ask her for money so soon, and the Neptune King was not an asset of gold and silver, so Sarathea secretly took the family's jewelry and sold it again.
But her money was a drop in the bucket for the family's difficulties, and soon the old Duke Belgrave called her again and asked her to find a way to prepare another two million in cash for the family.
Half of the porcelain in the basement has been sold, but luckily Lord Neptune doesn't usually go there, otherwise he will be held accountable for selling the porcelain.
The jewels at home, in addition to the gifts for the King's holiday, are the jewelry that she wears every day, as well as the jewels of Mice and Beludandi, and the family heirloom given to her by the old lady, a set of emerald jewelry worth millions.
The jewelry sold already includes some of his own jewelry, as well as the jewelry of Mesther and Beludandi, so Mestt always complains that the jewelry has become much less recently.
Belo Dandy didn't have any opinions, because she felt that girls were naturally beautiful, and they didn't need to wear gold and silver, and wear heavy makeup.
But that set of emerald jewelry must not be sold, otherwise King Neptune will definitely pursue it to the end, this is a treasure that has been passed down by their family for five generations. If you sell it, you will definitely be killed by Lord Neptune.
Although Neptune doesn't care about many things at home, it doesn't mean that he is an unprincipled person, so Sarathea still doesn't dare to take out that set of emerald jewelry easily.
The black phone on the table rang again, and Sarathea was upset, it must have been a call from her old father, the old Duke of Belgrave.
"Father, I've been thinking of a way recently, you give me some time, the money doesn't mean that you can take it out, I have sold the porcelain and jewelry at home for my brother's ore company, and even the dowry of your granddaughter Mister has been sold by me, so father, don't force me anymore, I'm very upset now." Sarathea said angrily.
On the other end of the phone was the voice of the old Duke of Belgrave: "Sarathea, have you forgotten how your father made you live a good life when you were at home?" It's all in our family's ore business, and if it weren't for my father giving the queen a rare sappite, do you think you would be a noble Duchess now? Now that there is a problem at home, it is natural for you to help. ”
"Father, I know how much you doted on me when I was at home, and you worked hard for me to become a duchess, so I tried my best to sell the porcelain and jewelry at home, but you also know that your son-in-law, he is the kind of person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and there is no source of income at all at home except for the gifts of the king's holidays and the living expenses of the royal government every month, and the current Wangjue Manor can be said to be very poor compared to those small nobles, so if you ask me to raise money again, I am also at a loss."
Sarathea said with a headache, very helpless.
"I don't care, as a duchess, you actually say that you are poor, how can I have such an ungrateful daughter of you, by the way, don't you still have a set of emerald jewelry left to you by Neptune's mother? You can take it out and sell it, but you're worried that you don't have any money, don't you? ”
The old duke said that he had been shrewd all his life, and of course he would not forget that his daughter also had a set of jewelry worth a thousand gold.
"No, father, the rest can be sold, but this is not good, how can you let me sell our ancestral treasures, this thing must not be done."
Sarathea said firmly.
"Anyway, if you don't help me raise money, I'll go and tell Neptune that you deliberately killed Beludandi's mother before, don't blame your father for not reminding you that this is not a secret that can be hidden for a lifetime."
The old duke said sneeringly, and then hung up.
Sarathea panicked in her heart, the original Zigruna actually did not die of hemorrhage, but she bought off the doctor in that hospital and asked her to give Zigruna a medicine, which directly led to her death, but she didn't expect Beludina to survive.
If Lord Neptune knew about this, she would not only be kicked out of the Manor, but also face murder charges, and if she left the Manor, what would happen to Myster's happiness.
Because Beludandi was so glamorous, Mister was overshadowed by her.
Every time the nobles who come to the prince's manor to propose marriage, they will always ignore Mister and propose marriage to Beludandi, who is alluring the country and the city.
She has been haunted by this matter, and on the surface she can't have a seizure, but in fact she can't be reconciled.
Myster was the jewel of her own palm, how could she lose to the unnamed daughter of that bewitching woman of Sigruna.
Therefore, she had to find a way to marry off Beludindy, so that Mister could marry the wealthy nobles.
Don't always find a way to live with 30,000 muses every month like her, for the royal family, 30,000 yuan is far from enough for the extravagant and wasteful luxury life.
However, a few days ago, she passed the information of a housekeeper next to her, saying that Delo County was going to auction the Demon Heart, so she sold all the jewelry in the house and prepared to buy the Demon Heart. Then resell the demon heart at a high price, which will definitely alleviate the crisis of the Belgrave family and satisfy his own life of poverty and luxury.
