After the ball, Anna King found Modrek.

"My dear son, have you found the girl you are looking for?" Anna King asked, looking at Modrak.

Mordrake shook his head helplessly, he had been looking for her throughout the ball, but from the beginning to the end, he had not been able to do so.

"Did you quarrel with Claya? I didn't look good when she left. Annakin asked, looking at Modrek.

"She invited her to dance, but I was not in the mood, so I refused her." Mordrake said truthfully.

"Hey... In fact, dancing is nothing, Claire is the daughter of the Brooke family, and she will also be the legal heir to inherit the Brooke family in the future, if you offend her, I am afraid that it will not be good for your future. Anna Kim said with some anxiety that as a mother, she must think about her son's future.

When Andraken married Pendereken, she had offended Kreya's aunt Sharia #Brooke, which almost caused a family dispute, and it was Pandraken who came forward to calm the anger of the two families, but, in exchange, Pendraken promised that in the future, he and Anakin's children would inevitably marry or marry a daughter or son of the Brooke family.

Although Anakin doesn't want her son to compromise on love, the promise made by Pendereken back then must be fulfilled.

"Am I going to have to marry Craya in the future?" Modrek asked, a little disappointed.

"Yes, if you want to be the lord of Lacazia and become the king of Lacaxia, you must unite with the Brooke family, and you must marry Crayya, otherwise, your rule will not be stable in the future." Anna King said as she looked at Modrek.

"But, you know, I don't like Claire." Modrek said bitterly.

"I know you don't like her, she's a proud girl, haughty, and unscrupulous, but this is your fate, your father has already betrayed a promise for love, if you betray the promise to the Brooke family again, the Brooke family will go to your opposite, so that the entire Lacacia nobility will be divided into two factions, and even cause a war, when the time comes, even if you can defeat them, it will seriously weaken Lacaxia's strength, and even the throne will not be secured.

Dear son, you are atoning for your father and me. Anna Kim stroked Modrak's face and said with pity.

Hearing this, Mordrak lowered her head in pain.

If he hadn't seen that beautiful girl, maybe he would have accepted his fate, maybe he would have chosen redemption for the love of his parents, but now his heart is very painful, why let him meet such a touching girl in his short life?

Why is she so beautiful and walks into her own world on such a romantic night?

"Child, at tonight's banquet, all the noble girls are here, if you don't find that girl, it means that she may be the daughter of a commoner, or even a child of a pariah, no matter what it is, it is not suitable for you, you need not only a beautiful girl, but more importantly, a girl who can bring benefits to your future succession to the throne and your rule, marriage is the best time for the nobles to form an alliance, a good marriage can help you achieve hegemony and gain power, This is also an iron rule that every aristocratic family is observing. Annakin looked at Modrek and persuaded.

"I know Mother, I'm tired now and want to rest." Mordrake said, looking into the distance with a lost look.

"Well, rest early, forget about your worries, and everything will be fine." After comforting Modric, Anna King turned and left Modrec's room.

In the days that followed, Mordrak frequented the civilian quarters, constantly searching for the beautiful girl, from house to house, even into the slums, but he could not find her.

When Modreyk was at a loss, a jeweler approached Modrec.

"Your Highness, I've seen the girl you're looking for." As soon as the jeweler spoke, Mordrak immediately came to his senses.

"Elwin, are you telling the truth? Have you really seen her? Modrek excitedly walked down the palace and asked, grabbing Erwin's clothes.

"Is the girl Your Highness looking for a girl wearing a wide cloak in the evening half a moon ago? She was followed by a man who was also wearing a cloak? As soon as the jeweler Erwin said this, Mordrak's expression became even more excited.

"Yes, that's her, do you know her? Do you know where she is? Mordrak asked excitedly.

"Before I tell Your Highness, I have one more thing to tell Your Highness, and I think this matter may be more important." Erwin said.

"What's the matter?" Modrek asked curiously.

"Maybe the girl Your Highness is looking for is not a clean girl, maybe a female thief." Erwin's voice fell, and Mordrak's expression immediately became ugly.

"What do you say? She's a female thief? Mordrak asked, frowning.

"Yes, Your Highness, that night she and her companions were in my jewelry shop to choose jewels, and as a result, the girl took a fancy to a bracelet, but they stole it without paying any compensation, and I think she must be a female snitch who seduces good people with her beautiful appearance." Erwin said to Mordrac.

"Is everything you say true?" Mordrak asked, looking at Elwyn incredulously.

"I swear to Heaven that what I say is true." Erwin, the jeweler, immediately raised his hand and swore an oath.

"Your Highness, maybe what he said makes sense, if it is a civilian, we have been looking for so many days, and there should be clues, but we have been looking for so long, but there has been no news of that girl, perhaps, she is really a female snitch." Andrei, the guard on the side, reminded Modrak.

Hearing Andre's reminder, Modric's heart sank suddenly, and there was an indescribable feeling of depression.

If that girl is really a female snitch, even if she has angelic beauty, she can't be called a perfect girl.

"Of course, maybe it's because of her poverty, beautiful girls usually have a kind heart, and if they are forced by the pressure of life, they may get lost for a while." The clever chief of the guard continued.

"Elwin, how much is the bracelet you lost that night worth?" Guard Andrei asked.

"Back to my lord, it's worth fifty gold coins." Erwin said with a smile, the price was more than double the real value.

"It's a hundred gold coins, and it's a repayment for that girl, and you can't tell anyone about it, you know?" André handed a bag of gold to the jeweler Erwin.

"Yes, my lord, as you wish." Erwin gladly took the coin, then turned away contentedly.
