With those four male servants, the work in the Earl's Palace can be handed over to them to do, so that they can liberate their descendants and let them do more meaningful things, as for the meals, they are still handed over to Polina to be responsible, and the food safety issue must not be sloppy, in this position, you can only use your own descendants.

Since Arya still has the task of buying clothes, she stays at the house for a while and leaves. Estimating that Arya had gone away, Clifford entered Sophia's room under the pretext of discussing paintings, as for the people in the house, he was very relieved, these people were loyal to him, and they would definitely not chew on the root of his tongue with Arya.

When Sophia saw Cleford, she was both surprised and excited, and almost put her arms around Clifford's neck to offer her first kiss, and said with a smile: "My master, is all this true?" I have not heard of the king taking you so seriously as he does today, and what methods have you done to impress him? ”

"Of course, you gave me the idea." Collifu took her hands and said softly, Sophia was his playmate when he was a child, and the relationship established by people during the period of unsuspecting was the strongest, although he and Sophia had been separated for eleven years, but when they met, they still felt closer to her than to others, and said, "I just told him how to make the kingdom strong, isn't this exactly what he wants?" ”

"You are fantastic, my master. If you can help the king do that, he will give you everything you want. Sophia was finally unable to get excited, rushed up and put her arms around Clifford's neck, and said with a smile: "Our hope of recovering the country has greatly increased, I really didn't expect it to come so soon." ”

She had long had enough of this rootless life in the field, and how she longed to have a stable land that belonged to her master, so that she could accompany her little master in peace.

Clifford was not so optimistic, put his arm around Sophia's back, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "It's not as simple as you think." The old king Frederick VII has already hinted to me that he will not help me restore the country, because there is a lot of price to be paid for counterinsurgency, and he can't afford to pay this price now, not to mention that the Count of Sicily belongs to our Colifo family, and it has nothing to do with him. ”

A look of gloom flashed in Sophia's eyes, but after thinking about it, what Clifford said made sense, where are there still people who have selflessly helped you these days? He straightened his clothes and smiled, "It's okay, my master." The situation is much better now, at least we don't have to be bullied anymore. ”

This sentence is to the point, the old king and the eldest prince have given gifts one after another, and the news of the gifts given by the old king and the eldest prince will definitely spread throughout Vienna soon, at this time, who is not long-sighted and dares to bully Count Clifford, and has no choice but to stammer, Clifford suddenly remembered what Sophia had done for herself, remembered her sacrifice, and couldn't help but feel a heart move, held her face that seemed to have been burned by coals, stared at her affectionately, and smiled softly: "Thank you, Sophia." Thank you for doing so much for me and getting me out of the trough. With that, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss her.

"Don't, don't. My master. Sophia was startled, and hurriedly turned away, and while struggling, she pushed Clifford away vigorously, and said, "My master, don't do this. ”

Collifer wondered in his heart, he thought Sophia was willing, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so strong, let go of her, held her shoulder, and said softly: "Dear Sophia, don't you want to?" ”

"No, it's not so, my master. This is my first kiss, how could I possibly dedicate myself to you in such a dress. With that, he began to slowly remove the mask from his face, then took off his long skirt and took off the white cloth wrapped around his waist.

Collie was very distressed when he saw all this, if he was strong enough, would he still need his own woman to gain a sense of security by covering up his appearance, so he hurriedly hugged her and said emotionally: "No, don't be like this." I don't dislike you for anything. ”

"No, my master. You don't understand, everyone has a love for beauty, and I don't want this moment to be imperfect for the rest of my life. Sophia politely declined Clifford's request, and slowly set the mask and white cloth aside.

In the blink of an eye, Sophia, who appeared in front of Clifford, became an antenna again, her standard goose-egg-shaped face, coupled with her big watery eyes, she was simply not a woman who would appear in the world, smiled slightly, said all the spring light, and said softly: "My master, Sophia is yours." Always. ”

Clifford didn't say much, but put his arms around her and kissed her fiercely, no, he gnawed on it.

In the clothing market in Vienna, Arya carefully selected a lot of clothes for Clifford, each set of clothes was carefully selected, the times were different, she used to look down on Count Clifford, but now she found that he got the king's favor, and it is very possible for the salted fish to turn over, even if the earl's fief cannot be restored, it is very possible to at least mix an official and a half-position in the royal capital, in this case, is it also a good choice to follow him?

Thinking of Clifford's endless gentleness and the second prince's cold expression towards her, Arya gradually changed her mind in her heart, she had no money and no background, and the only capital left was this pretty face, if she wanted to turn over in this life and get rid of the status of a slave, she could only rely on chance, the opportunity came, and if she seized it, she could turn over.

Thinking of this, Arya secretly made up her mind, to use her beauty and gentleness, try her best to please Coleford, and get his favor, once he gains power, then he will definitely rise to the top, as for the second prince, let him go, who let him not pay attention to himself, this can only be said to be his own fault, and has nothing to do with himself. What's more, according to Clifford's young handsomeness, coupled with his current status, it is enough to make him like it, and he will not be wronged by him.

After making up her mind, Arya paid the money, took her clothes and wanted to go back, but as soon as she didn't want to go out, she was startled - an acquaintance was waiting for her at the door. She knows this person, he is from the second prince's mansion, and he is not good.

Sure enough, when the man saw that Arya had bought so many beautiful clothes, a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Arya, you have been busy enough lately." We all thought you were gone. ”

Arya smiled miserably, there were 10,000 divine beasts rushing past in her heart, and she said in her heart When he was not powerful, it was difficult for me to go to see you to report the situation, but now that he is in power, you think I am not diligent enough, and said lightly: "What is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

The man shrugged his shoulders, and with an under-twitching expression, he said with a smile: "It's not me looking for you, but His Royal Highness the Second Prince looking for you." Please come with me. ”
