Cassimuro, a large city on a par with the capital of the Vertes Empire, the city of Vertes.

The city covers an extremely wide area, almost including half of the Van Gogh Plain, east to the Emerald Mountains, west to the Relora River, the huge city is surrounded by a ten-meter-high bluestone city wall, in which the buildings are high and low, the shops are numerous, the people are boiling, a noisy and prosperous scene, this appearance seems to be similar to some big city scenes on the earth, but there are less cars, planes, and exhaust pollution.

In the central area of Cassimuro City, there is a large manor house that covers an extremely wide area, this manor occupies almost one-sixth of the size of the entire Cassimoro, the high and solid wall encloses this place like a fortress, during which it falls layer by layer, heavy buildings and courtyards, in the most center, there is even a real castle, dozens of meters high, countless servants are busy back and forth, a team of guards in bright armor stand guard and patrol, at a glance, you can know that there can be such a pomp, the owner of this manor, at least should be a prince, Big names like dukes.

And in the master's study of that castle, the big man had a fierce quarrel with someone, and was so angry that he blushed and had a thick neck.

"Fest! You old bastard who ate shit! Old scrap wood! How did you promise me in the first place? Yes? How long has it been? How long has it been? Yes? What about my grandson? What about Lao Tzu's grandson? ”

An old man with white hair and white beard in gorgeous clothes had just kicked over a priceless antique vase, smashed it to pieces, and then stretched out his somewhat withered right hand and pointed at a sturdy old man with black hair and black beard on the opposite side and cursed.

The white-haired old man's emotions looked very excited, and after nearly a month of forbearance and intent, he had completely exploded at this time, completely overwhelming his mind, and at this time he had completely ignored the identity of the old man opposite, the Duke of the Empire, the founding marshal of the country, what vicious swear words, country slang, just to pour out the anger in his heart to this old man first.

Looking at the white-haired old man who made his originally clear and kind face look a little distorted because of extreme anger, the black-haired old man with a velvet beard, like an old lion, was also extremely angry, he didn't care that he was now in his own study, a big hand pinched the corner of the table made of the highest grade jade fir wood, pinched it to the point that it cracked, and the edge of the desk, which was originally straight, had become a jagged corner by corner, as if it had just been violently rubbed by a fierce beast.

Although with his burly and sturdy body and the skills he has trained over many years of fighting, it is like pinching and playing with the old guy like a thin monkey in front of him, but as an old buddy, political partner, and old in-law who have been getting along for many years, he really doesn't dare to do it like this, so he has to endure it, besides, in this situation, he really has some mistakes, that is, ...... I lost my baby grandson, my baby granddaughter's future husband, and my own grandson-in-law!

In less than three months, Duke Fest's only precious granddaughter, Caterina, will celebrate her eighteenth birthday, in the Verte Empire, a girl's eighteenth birthday is extremely important, especially for a person in a high position like him, not only because the God of Light they believe in said that once a girl reaches the age of eighteen, it represents the first nirvana of the angel who came to earth, and more importantly, according to the regulations of the Verte Empire, a girl is considered an adult at the age of eighteen before she can marry a woman, And start a new life!

And this marriage that can only be carried out on the basis of adulthood at the age of eighteen is exactly what he Feistt pays attention to, although as the founding marshal and duke of the Verte Empire, he is already a very powerful minister, and his power is monstrous, but with the continuous expansion of his power, the number of people under his command is more and more, more and more mixed, and it is not so easy to judge life and death in his own circle of influence as he did decades ago.

He has a major event to do in his life, this matter is almost the spiritual source that supports his hard work in this life, and to do this, it is impossible to do it by himself, not to mention that he has a big family now, and he can't even have absolute severance power over his own forces?

Therefore, he chose to marry the old man in front of him who was in the high position of the prime minister of the empire and also had the title of duke, as long as the two families were completely linked with this relationship, and he put forward the idea of that matter at that time, with the joint promotion of the imperial marshal and the prime minister, then things would be much simpler! Even His Majesty the Emperor will no longer be able to stop it, and on the other hand, even if his subordinates are reluctant, seeing that even the Prime Minister is unshakably standing with him Fest, and his own strength has almost doubled, what reason can he have to refuse that order? Besides, as long as that thing is successful, the benefits that can be obtained are tens or hundreds of times the risk!

Because of this, he sent the news to the old man's house in the capital city of Verte four months before his grandchild's birthday, and asked him to allow himself to take his grandson over to live for a long time, one is to give his subordinates a reassuring pill first, to create momentum for the complete union of the two families, the second is to let those political opponents be smarter, and the third is to let the kid and his granddaughter cultivate their relationship in advance, after all, the two little guys have never met since they were three years old.

Naturally, the wise prime minister would not object to this kind of thing, but who knows, just when his own people took the little guy out of Verte City and had just escorted half the way to Cassimuro City, a group of robbers came out of nowhere!

According to common sense, robbers of all sizes on the country roads are common in the entire New Yucca Continent, but in the eyes of his Duke Feist, most of them are just a group of waste firewood who can't eat enough to eat and are idle, where can they be compared to the elite soldiers under him? Moreover, he still paid great attention to the safety of his future grandson-in-law, and he sent a full fifty guards to escort him alone, and even brought five knights who had experienced a hundred battles! But who would have thought that the group of robbers who suddenly appeared was not only numerous, but also very well-equipped and had amazing combat power, and they actually snatched his grandson-in-law away after killing three knights and thirty guards, leaving only a dozen nameless corpses behind!

Fester remembers how upset and regretful he was when he first got the news, and this was when he reaped the consequences......

"Elwin, are you finished? This matter is clearly that someone is going to target the two of us, how could I have expected this to happen!? ”

Duke Fester held back his flushed face, tried his best to suppress the ** who tore the thin old man in front of him to pieces, and forcibly shouted: "Besides, no matter how angry you are at me now, it's useless!" With the time you are here to scold me, you might as well think of a way to get your precious grandson back! ”

"Retrieved? How to find it? ”

After listening to Fest's words, the angry Duke of Erwin was unmoved, and continued to scold at the top of his throat: "Your brain is soaked in!? Of course I know someone is targeting us, but how long has it been? It's been more than a month! More than a month! I've put out almost all the power I can unleash! Until now, I am still looking for a needle in a haystack, and I haven't even seen a figure! And since that group of brutes has robbed people, will they still live to release him back? You Lao Tzu and I are a handful of years old, without this precious grandson, how can you let Lao Tzu live in the future!? I'm telling you Fest, if my grandson had a three-year-old and two-short, I'd want you old fellow to pay for it!! ”

"Elwin! **Target! ”

Listening and listening, Fester finally couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed, and the roars of the two old fellows almost shook the sky, and spread throughout the castle.

The two old men quarreled in the study, and there was a tendency to open their sleeves and make a big move, but just outside the door of the study, the guards and subordinates belonging to the two families had to bow their heads and smile bitterly one by one, and they didn't dare to make a sound quietly, of course they knew that their adults would not really fight, and quarrels like this had been carried out no less than ten times in the half month that old Erwin had arrived in Cassimuro City, and it was not a matter of time until now.

Among the crowd, a little maid didn't know whether it was because she hadn't rested well last night, or because the quarrel between the two dukes had become a habit, and there was actually a very alternative hypnotic effect, which made her lean against the wall, drowsy, and her little head little by little, seeing the guards next to her secretly laughing.

But before the kind guards went up to remind her, she saw the little maid's eyes suddenly look at the staircase in the distance, and then straightened up, and the previous sleepiness was instantly swept away.

"Miss."

The next moment, I saw the little maid saluting very respectfully, and the rest of the people also reflected at this time, and they all looked in that direction and saluted, and then, they saw a slender and tall figure coming, and walked until they walked to the door of the study to stand still.

This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in a noble flower skirt, a burgundy shawl long hair scattered casually on her shoulders, pale golden eyes like two jewels shining, nose, mouth, eyebrows and eyes are extremely delicate, with a combination of even more beautiful suffocating, this beauty, so that the surrounding guards dare not look up, the maids are ashamed of themselves, her skin is amazingly fair, slender neck is as dazzling as a white swan, gorgeous and heavy long skirt can not hide her amazing slender body, Walking and swinging, the graceful body curves are enough to make an old man who is about to enter the earth turn into a colored dog.

She's Fest. The only granddaughter of Lord Sifes and Marshal, Erwin. The original granddaughter-in-law of the Duke of Lorfen and Prime Minister, Caterina. Sifevers!

The quarrel in the study continued, and because of Katarina's arrival, the corridor that was already very quiet seemed to be quieter and quieter, I saw Katarina standing outside the door, listening to the quarrel coming from the room, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and then raised her hand, put it on the side of the door, and was about to knock down, but she hesitated again and again, and finally slowly withdrew her arm.

Eventually, Caterina sighed faintly and turned to walk away, followed by the two female guards who had been following her.

"Grandpa and Grandpa Erwin have been arguing for half a month, look at today's situation, that person...... After all, I still didn't find ...... Also, it's been so long, and if it falls into the hands of robbers, the chance of that person surviving is indeed very small. ”

Skirting the corner of the corridor full of antique oil paintings, and leaning on the handrail of the staircase made of emerald fir wood, Caterina thought faintly: "This matter will undoubtedly deal a great blow to Grandpa's prestige, and it may even completely break the friendship accumulated with the two generations of the Lovin family...... No, as a woman of the Sypheus family, I must not sit idly by and watch this matter go on like this, even if there is little hope...... I have to do my part, too! ”
