Chapter 13: The Old Fox

Sophia was amused by his nervous behavior, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and suddenly she held the short sword in both hands, knelt on one knee, raised the short sword above her head, and said with a serious face: "My master, please accept my late allegiance." ”

Clifford knew that Sophia's etiquette was the highest etiquette for knights to be loyal to the lord, and he remembered that Sophia was also one of the subjects loyal to his territory, but he couldn't understand why, and asked with a puzzled face: "Miss Lily, I'm very happy and surprised to get your allegiance, but, can you tell me why?" I guess as the master, I have the right to know. ”

Sophia didn't speak, smiled sweetly at the corner of her mouth, slowly stood up, put the short sword on the cabinet at hand, and then began to take off her long skirt.

"........" Clifford was dumbfounded, which one is this girl singing, it's okay to be loyal, there is no need to dedicate herself, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him: "No, no." Miss Lily, there is no need for this. ”

However, he was still a step late, Sophia took off the long skirt, revealing the shirt and petticoat inside, as well as the white cloth she deliberately wrapped around her waist, she ripped off the white cloth, and immediately revealed that in addition to the slender waist, plus the reason why she is only wearing a shirt and petticoat now, the slender jade legs, the small waist that Ying Ying grasps, and the round ass can be seen at a glance, it is simply a perfect body, and the previous judgment is like two people.

"You ......" Clifford finally understood, she was deliberately disguised, and the scar on her face must have been fake.

Sure enough, Sophia slowly took off the human skin mask, revealing a beautiful and incomprehensible face, and said with a faint smile: "Don't you remember me?" ”

"You are?" Clifford was stunned by her beauty, he just felt a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen this beauty again, was it at a certain reception in the royal family?

"Little master." Sophia said with a hint of banter, this is what she called Clifford since she was a child.

"You're Sophia!" Clifford remembered it at once, and instantly became inexplicably excited, feeling that the blood was about to burst out of his body, he grabbed her delicate hands and exclaimed, "Oh, God. You're alive! I thought you were ......"

Sophia smiled sweetly and said, "I am fortunate to have been sent here by your father, the old Earl of Clifford, and I have survived. Sophia is really happy to meet you again today. With that, he curtsy to Clifford.

"Doing things? What to do? Collie understood the ins and outs of the matter, and the few people who repaired the toilet outside must be in her group, and said, "Sophia, I think you should tell me everything." ”

"Of course." Sophia pulled her hands away, then slowly wrapped the white cloth around her waist, and finally put on the long dress neatly, and said, "In order to keep abreast of the movements of the royal family, your father spent a lot of money to create an intelligence organization called Shadow in the royal capital. I was the head of the organization, and there were seven of them in the core plus me, and besides those four, there was Henry and his men who ran a tavern in the market town. You don't need to know about the rest of the marginal characters, you will only increase your danger by touching them. ”

So it was, no wonder they automatically became loyal to their territory as soon as they came, Clifford was relieved, he had a feeling of finding an organization, it turned out that he was not fighting alone, and smiled: "I understand. Thank you, Sophia. At this time, they are still willing to be loyal to me. ”

Sophia slowly brought the human skin mask to her face again, and said with a smile: "This is as it should be, without the Collifer family, there would be no Sophia." In the blink of an eye, she was the bloated ugly girl again.

"Why are you dressing up so ugly?" Clifford asked, puzzled.

"Because it will save me a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Collie felt a lot of emotion in his heart, indeed, with Sophia's beauty, she would definitely be forcibly occupied by those powerful people in the royal capital, and this was also her measure to protect herself. Infinite hatred rose in Collieford's heart, only hating that he was too weak to even protect his maid who was so loyal to him, and that he wanted her to live in this way. Thinking of the sacrifice she made, Clifford felt so guilty in his heart, and suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and asked with a hint of excitement: "You just said that there is a tavern among the core characters?" ”

"That's right, it's in the market town down the mountain, and he is the intelligence distribution center there, so he didn't come here." Sophia smiled faintly, a hint of wonder appeared on her face, how could the owner be interested in the tavern, it was not a good thing that he liked to drink at his age.

"Great." Clifford muttered, "I was thinking about how to hide the wine from that spy." Sophia, you are my lucky angel. ”

"Are you talking about the woman Arya? Rest assured, my master. Sooner or later, we'll settle her for you. After that, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and her face was a little cold as autumn frost. For her now, killing someone is really not a big deal, let alone that woman.

Clifford was startled by her sudden murderous aura, and then laughed wryly: "So you all know it." It seems that Polina deliberately took her away so that you could come and recognize me. Well, don't talk about her. Dear Sophia, can you tell me any valuable information lately? ”

The three words "dear" are usually used as polite words, but they still make Sophia's heart warm, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Of course, my master." Do you remember your teacher Taylor? He's going back to the royal capital in the near future, and he has a secret mission on him, so you can make a fuss about him. ”

Teacher Taylor? Clifford's mind instantly appeared a man with a white beard and a slender face, his teacher was already fifty years old, although he was well maintained, his face was still full of wrinkles, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "Dear Sophia, you may not know that my Taylor teacher is a well-known old fox, and belongs to the typical character of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles. If I ask him for help, I guess I won't be able to match my worth. ”

Clifford is telling the truth, this Taylor is the only minister who can mix in the fierce contradictions between the Great Prince Party and the Second Prince Party, and has a good relationship with the old King Frederick VII.
