Chapter 127: A Three-Year Promise
The wonderful tea time has finally passed.
The members of Merfolk Song, led by the soldiers, enter a living room.
Cream, Margaux, Parfait, Brad, Cheese, Crispy, and even Tesla are all sitting or standing in this living room, looking restless. Tesla, in particular, had a heartbroken look on his face when he saw the soldiers pull his demon dragon cart away.
And their presidents ...... No, maybe it can't be called president anymore.
It is impossible for a woman to do business at all, let alone become the president of an adventurer's guild.
Even if this woman led such a team to victory in the guild championship battle, it would not change this law.
What's more, this woman is not just a woman, she is also a ......
"A slave girl? I know that all of you will be very surprised to know this. β
It wasn't long before Sugar-Coated Chocolate slowly walked into the living room with his trademark smile and sat down on a sofa in the center.
"If you think about it, even if you are not nobles, you are also serious commoners. At the very least, none of you are cheap, and even everyone here is an adventurer who can take charge of their own affairs. I know very well that you will be humiliated when you know that the order you have been obeying in the past is actually a lowly slave, right? β
Coming in with the icing was Viscount Norris. He walked over to the coffee table, made the tea, and placed the teacup in front of his teacher, while he stood behind the sofa, keeping a serious face.
The sugar-coated wine picked up the teacup, glanced at the tea foam on it, and fiddled with it as if it was playing, and then said again after a momentβ
"But it's no wonder you're unaware of it. Because for you, your 'president' is really educated. Polite, knowledgeable, and well-organized. β
"Of course, she is not a slave girl in the ordinary sense, but a slave girl of the Duke's family. Even, she is the eldest lady of Duke Jinguo's family and Alice Jinguo's personal maid. β
"It is conceivable that even just a maid of the Duke's family can play you people around and make you die for the Duke's family. Hehe, how stupid are you so-called champions? I don't think I need to say more. β
"Necro Knight!!
All of a sudden, the cold was pressing.
A necromantic knight armed with a bone sword was already standing in front of the old man, his eyes gleaming blue staring directly at the sugar-coated wine, as if he could use this death-scented blade to take his soul in the next moment!
On this side, Coco was holding the Death Song in her hand, gritting her teeth, and staring at her target viciously. With just a slight wand in her hand, the old man's head can hit the ground in no time!
At this moment, Margaux on the side immediately reached out and grabbed Coco's hand, and at the same time raised the staff of light in his hand, and the huge power of light shrouded the body of the necromantic knight like a bath, gradually burning its figure into ashes.
"What's wrong? I thought you'd be a little bit more kind. β
Sugar-coated slightly patted the ashes on his chest, smiled and spread his hands, and said.
Cream walked up from the side, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys...... What are you going to do with her?! β
Sugar-coated wine smiled, picked up the tea again, took a sip, and said, "It's not that we're going to do anything to her." It's you, what's next. β
Putting down the teacup, Sugar-Coated said calmly and leisurely: "From a legal point of view, your so-called president is Miss Jinguo's personal maid, in other words, the money used by this personal maid to create the guild is also the money of Duke Jinguo's family. β
Therefore, the guild founded by the maid is theoretically equivalent to the guild created by the Jinguo family. In other words, your real big boss should be Duke Jinguo. β
Then, now the eldest lady of the Jin Guo family has become the fiancΓ©e of the second prince of the royal family. Since this is the case, then the personal maid of the eldest lady is equivalent to entering the royal family together and becoming the second prince's thing. Then the guild she founded is equivalent to becoming the guild of the second prince logically. At this point, your real boss behind the scenes has become a royal family after last year's Holy Night Festival. β
"How does it feel to suddenly realize that the guild you belong to has a royal background? Isn't it shocking? Thinking you're going to cheer? β
"Hahaha, just kidding. So let's talk about that strange car. β
"Obviously, this strange car was built using the resources of the Mermaid's Song. And the Song of the Mermaid is now subordinate to His Royal Highness the Second Prince. So of course, the real ownership of this strange car belongs to the second prince. You also belong to the Second Prince. β
"Do you understand now? That's why I'm asking you what's next. β
After thinking about it, the crisp tower on the other side said, "That's the ...... What is the meaning? β
Sugar-coated wine smiled and said, "It's very simple. That is, your guild...... It means to be dissolved. β
ββββ
High above the castle, in another reception room, another meeting was also taking place at this time.
Only this time, the atmosphere at the scene was not so tense and not so hostile.
The atmosphere was friendly among the people who were talking here, and everyone and everyone else were smiling, expressing the cheerful attitude that should be taken on the first day of the new year.
"Duke...... No, maybe I should call you my father-in-law. β
Tide sat on a single sofa, stretched out his hand to greet the Duke of Jinguo who was sitting there, and said with a smile: "Duke Jinguo is really ashamed to marry your most beloved daughter to me on a rare trip." β
Duke Jin Guo laughed, waved his hand and said, "Where, it is her blessing that the little girl can serve His Royal Highness the Second Prince." This time, the engagement ceremony schedule seems to be a bit rushed, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Second Prince has for the wedding? We can also get people to start preparing as soon as possible. β
The tide also laughed together, turned his head, looked at the fierce waves who were drinking tea with a teacup, and said, "Don't you know, my brother has all of my wedding this time." Although the time seems to be in a hurry, my imperial brother has already started to prepare a year ago, and everything can be said to have been prepared for a long time, and it will not be too rushed. β
Everyone burst into laughter, put down the teacup in his hand in the fierce wave, and said with a smile: "I don't know when Duke Jinguo will return to the fiefdom?" Do you think you're going back after the wedding? β
Duke Jinguo waved his hand, sighed, and said, "Alas, I originally thought the same way. But there are so many things that I have to go back to deal with as soon as possible. Luckily, it's not a long way to go, and I'll be back two days before the wedding. β
Fierce Wave nodded, and said with a smile, "That's a good thing to say. In the future, I still need to rely on Duke Jinguo's help in managing the country. β
Duke Jin Guo nodded and smiled again, and said slowly: "In fact, there will be many places in our family that may trouble His Highness in the future, and such a small matter is really not enough to worry about. Your Highness, what are you going to do with it...... What about this impolite slave? β
As he spoke, the two princes of the royal family present, Duke Jinguo, turned their heads one after another, looking at Ariel, who had been standing here since just now, like an ornament and a piece of furniture.
Everyone's eyes were on her, which also made Ariel lower her head a little nervously, clutching her chest, forcibly suppressing her nervousness.
Before the fierce wave could speak, the tide snorted directly and said to the slave: "What else can I do?" Kill it. β
To be honest, Duke Rao is Jinguo didn't expect this second prince to say such a thing with such a resolute attitude.
The fierce waves on the side also felt very puzzled, and said, "Tide, what are you talking about?" She's your woman, and I think Ariel is a very well-behaved girl, so even if you don't like her, you don't have to kill her casually. β
Seeing the fierce waves open his mouth to intercede, Jin Guo thought about it, and said with a smile: "That...... I don't know where His Royal Highness the Second Prince is dissatisfied with this maid? To be honest, she's my silly maid's personal maid, and she's been outside for the past three years, so she's also lacking discipline. But anyway, she is also the favorite maid of my daughter, if you are dissatisfied with my daughter, please teach me a lesson, don't be polite to me. β
Tide snorted and pouted at Ariel over there. But he didn't continue to say why, but looked like he didn't want to answer.
Seeing that the tide didn't talk, Fierce Wave thought about it for a while, and then said, "Jin Guo, there is something I have always wanted to ask about this maid. I wonder if you will be able to give me an answer? β
Duke Jinguo smiled and said, "Your Highness, may I ask." β
Fierce Wave nodded and continued: "I learned about this girl from my wife, and to be honest, I was surprised when I first heard that this personal maid of your daughter was able to be out alone for three years, and even started a guild. Moreover, it is said that this maid has an agreement. She seems to take this agreement very seriously. β
In the past three years, she has worked very hard to fulfill this agreement, and even put a lot of effort into it, even risking her life. I tried to ask my wife about the specifics of the agreement, but my wife said she didn't know the details either. β
