"Father, still haven't heard from me?" The noblewoman asked coldly, this is the former Duchess, but she is now single again.

To the left of the table stood a row of maids.

Hearing this familiar question, they looked at each other, and they were all a little nervous: the Legion Elder was sent to investigate the truth of the Zerg War, and there was no news for more than two months.

In the past, when she was a duchess, it was not uncommon for the captain of the legion to go far away.

Even if it would take a year and a half for him to leave, she wouldn't be too nervous.

One is because she trusts her father's strength very much;

The second is that she manages the Duke's Palace very well. Status, status, children, money...... She lacks nothing, and having a prominent maiden family is just the icing on the cake for her.

Now it's different.

All the ugly things she did have been exposed.

After her son's succession was transferred, the title was taken advantage of by the duke's brother, and she herself was squeezed out of the circle of the upper nobility.

Her mother's family is her last and only support.

Her father didn't give up on her at such a time, which was a relief in the snow.

If something happens to her father on this mission, she will become a joke in Canterlot.

"A bunch of trash."

She pushed the hearty but untouched breakfast forward: "I don't eat it, I'm not in the mood." ”

Seeing her go out, the figure turned into the corridor.

It was a few minutes before the low discussion of the maids rang out in the dining room:

"Captain Legion shouldn't have an accident...... I was a little scared. ”

"What nonsense, my lord, he is a ninth-level powerhouse! I heard that the Zerg is only the queen of worms, but the adults are not going to break into the mother nest, how can they meet the queen of worms? ”

"Hey, what's the hurry, we didn't marry the duke, and we didn't kill the duke's daughter, even if the legion commander died, the big deal was to change the family. Anyone in the rich district needs highly trained maids like us, are you afraid that you won't have anything to eat? ”

"Well, you can't say that......"

"That's right! If it weren't for the Legion Commander taking pity on her and taking her in, how could she have a chance to sit here and be served by us? She looks at people with her nostrils all day long, and who doesn't know what she has done, thinking that she is still the noble lady she used to be...... Yes! ”

Syllable!

The sound interrupted the maids' conversation.

Several girls were frightened.

Just now they saw only a dark shadow, and then the companion who spoke ......

The wounded maid fell to the ground and shivered in pain.

She managed to sit up, revealing half of her whip-beaten face—a bloody cut, red and swollen edges, and it was obvious that she had been disfigured.

If she wants to regain her previous beauty, she will not leave any scars at all, unless she works hard to earn money to buy repair potions in the future. The ordinary grade is fine, that is, four months' salary.

The Duchess stood at the door, her face extremely cold:

"Slut, don't miss a word of what you just said, repeat it to me!"

If it was only her, the maids might not be as scared as they are now.

But not only did she come back, but she also brought a housekeeper with her!

He is the one who holds the power of life and death for them.

The butler came over with an expressionless face, he looked down at the injured maid, and said slowly, "Child, your tongue doesn't seem to be very obedient, I'll help you fix it." ”

The maid's eyes widened instantly, and her blood-stained hands desperately covered her mouth.

But she is just an ordinary person, and the housekeeper is a seventh-level ability.

The gap in strength is here, he flicked it slightly, and her pale lips were exposed, and when she broke it again, no one even saw his weapon clearly, only the cold light flashed, and there was more than half a fresh tongue on the ground!

He tugged at a handful of hair, showing no pity for the young girl, and walked back like a sack.

You know, the maid's arrogant remarks just now were inspired by the third speaker.

Therefore, when I saw her unlucky, I was most afraid of that girl.

Neither the Duchess nor the housekeeper mentioned it.

Then the third maid secretly rejoiced, and she thought to herself: They may have come after I had finished speaking, and did not hear.

The other girls were still relieved, and suddenly heard the housekeeper say, "You are all capable people, you can find food anywhere, so let's go find a new job today, you must find it, otherwise you will ......"

There is still a chance to change jobs?

The maids were surprised, the housekeeper has always been yin and yang, and he is ruthless, why is he so good at talking today?

After a few seconds of pause, the butler continued, "...... You don't have to go out anymore, it should be nice to be buried in the garden. ”

At the same time, several steel needles suddenly condensed in the air, as thick as icicles, and slammed into the knees of several survivors from behind!

"Ahh

They bent their legs and fell.

Desperation, the coldness of the floor hit their hearts.

He sent them out to find work, but he wasted their legs!

Who would want a disabled servant?

Even if there are really people who are willing to do good deeds, how can they get out like this? In one day, if you can't find a job, you will be ...... He was intent on letting them die!

The Duchess's eyes swirled with mockery, daring to laugh at her? These people deserve to die.

She snorted coldly, turned around to leave, and suddenly stared!

I saw a woman standing on the wall over there!

A faint sweet fragrance came from the pastry that the woman was holding in her left hand, and she was looking at it.

The butler frowned, leaned over and asked, "Miss, is this your guest?" ”

"No, I don't know her."

The Duchess replied with a strange feeling in her heart.

Because she felt that the woman seemed a little familiar.

No, no, she doesn't mean looks, but that kind of temperament...... It's special.

It's like, the unknown one, the female shopkeeper!

Her eyes snapped.

"Uncle Ken, is there anyone else nearby? Like, elemental creatures? ”

The butler shook his head.

Legion Commander Xi Jing, there is only their home in this area, he doesn't feel the breath of other creatures, only one person.

She wasn't a guest of the young lady, and she didn't look like an acquaintance of the legion commander, so was she a thief who came to make trouble? He was almost amused by his thoughts, no kidding, are there any little villains in Canterlot who dare to come to the Legion's Captain's house?

"I sensed a lot of malice, so I came over and had a look." Lan Shuying was talking to the two of them, but she looked at the miserable maids and frowned slightly, "The Federation doesn't seem to give you the right to hurt free people at will. ”

The housekeeper sneered: "What, are you going to denounce it?" ”

"Of course not, the Legion Commander has an important task, as his family, even if you go to burn down the council building now, you can only postpone the disposal, I won't do stupid things that don't work." Lan Shuying said bluntly.
