Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Laugh at Others and Can't See Through It
Originally, they thought that Eugen had other intentions in this arrangement, and they were still wary in their hearts. Now they all feel that this earl from the countryside is simply dirty and stupid, so they will arrange it like this.
With the ridicule of Eugen, the nobles rode away, flags with various family coats of arms waving in the wind, and the wheels rolled on the ground and raised a cloud of dust.
Old man Tabu stood on the opposite side and saw the whole process, he didn't dare to approach, he only waited outside. In his eyes, the flag faded away, the dust finally calmed down, and everything returned to its original state, as if all he had seen in his eyes just now was an illusion.
But Old Man Tabu knew that something big must have happened just now in his little inn. It was a matter for the nobles and the commoners, and all the decisions they made would ultimately be closely related to the commoners.
Eugen and Margaret were the only ones left in the small room, and Margaret turned her back to Eugen angrily, she was angry at Eugen's weakness just now, but she didn't know what to say about him, so she had to express her dissatisfaction in this way.
For a knight, it is better to lose his life than to lose courage and glory. Eugen is an earl, and she should pay more attention to these two points, but this time Eugen's performance made her very disappointed.
Watching the nobles leave one after another, Eugen chuckled and looked at Margaret. Either way, he needed to give Margaret an explanation.
"Margaret." Eugen walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Why, are you very dissatisfied with my performance just now?" ”
Margaret didn't speak, but shook her body vigorously and shook off Eugen's hand to express her displeasure.
Eugen smiled, simply sat down opposite Margaret, looked into her eyes and said, "I'm not cowardly, I'm just bored, just when I sat down just now, I suddenly felt, what is the point of this kind of thing?" ”
Margaret turned sideways to not look into Eugen's eyes, but it was clear from her expression that she actually cared about what Eugen said.
"Margaret, if a dragon flies across the sky and it sees a flower snake on the ground and catches a mouse, do you think it will fly to the ground and snatch the mouse with the flower snake?" Eugen said slowly with a smile on his face.
The corners of Margaret's mouth moved, and her body turned, but she didn't say anything, just clasped her hands in front of her chest, and raised her eyebrows to signal Eugen to continue.
With a confident smile on Eugen's lips, he said, "I don't care what they say, or what they have now. I promise you, a year! In a year at most, I'll get everything I deserve. And they are not qualified to be my obstacles at all. ”
Margaret looked at Eugen suspiciously, and was about to say something......
Suddenly, Eugen's body jerked forward, and his mouth came to Margaret's ear and whispered, "But the way you are angry with me is so cute, haha, you are such a good girl, Margaret." ”
As soon as these words came out, Margaret's face immediately turned red with shame, and her beautiful eyes opened wide, like a frightened fawn.
The heat of Eugen's words blew on her cheeks, and there was a tingling sensation that Margaret had never experienced like this, panicked but with a hint of joy.
She staggered to her feet, glared at Eugen angrily, and ran out in a panic.
Eugen didn't chase it out, and Margaret needed some time to figure it out and some time to calm down, and it was better to leave her alone at this time.
Looking at the empty room, the smile on Eugen's face gradually calmed down and was replaced by a confident expression.
He originally wanted to fight for it in words, with the advantage of location, and with Margaret's support, he would definitely be able to get enough benefits.
If nothing else, at least he can do it by fighting for millions of square kilometers of territory for himself.
But on second thought, Eugen gave up this senseless scramble. It's not that he doesn't want land, after all, land means money, and no one will get along with money.
He just felt that there was no need for him to use this kind of market-like bargaining to get land. All gains are based on strength, and he doesn't have any strength at all now.
Margaret could help him for a while, or even help him go to war, but Margaret's army could not stay in his territory for the rest of his life to protect him, and Eugen was not willing to take advantage of Margaret's friendship with him.
"Tariq, Bud, Pigard, we'll see." Eugen whispered into the air, a faint glow flowing under his eyes, like magma at the bottom of a volcano.
He then walked out of the room. It's about the same time, it's time to coax Margaret this girl, in case she can't think of it and starts hating me, it won't be good. “
......
In addition to the inn of the old man of Tabes, there is also a small place where a large number of nobles have appeared today.
The sea breeze in the harbor of Messina is howling, and the streets of the harbor are filled with vendors with all kinds of aquatic products, so that there is always a lingering fishy smell in the place.
Especially these days, it is forbidden to go to sea, and most of the aquatic products on the stalls are old goods that have been left for five or six days, and the fishy smell is even stronger.
Generally speaking, there will be no nobles coming to such a place at all, and even if there is, they will only pass by in a hurry, and they will soon cover their noses and leave.
Today, however, the harbor is full of luxury carriages and carriages, and there are two rows of soldiers in standard armor standing on the streets, each standing upright, looking like they are guarding some important person.
There were also some soldiers on the harbor, and the total number of soldiers added up to more than fifty, which was a force to be reckoned with.
At the front of the soldiers were several richly dressed nobles, a man and a woman at the forefront. The man looks like he is in his forties, with two mustaches on his lips, a square and serious face, eyes as sharp as knives, a hooked nose, and thin lips, giving people a fierce and vicious feeling.
The woman is about the same age as the man, and her body looks bloated because she is too fat, and the layers of veils cover the body, and the whole looks like a gourd-shaped lampshade. The face plate is very large, but the facial features are crowded in the middle, and it is a bun essence. Even if she tried to frown and stare at her, others would still find it ridiculous.
However, if you look closely, you can also see that there are some similarities between the eyebrows and eyes of this obese woman and the previous Klein.
