A few days ago......

Near the Ice Blue City Palace, the Sapphire Residential Area.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights are on, and the night is dark.

The Countess of Ursula was brightly lit, and Countess Kelly Ursula and her daughter were having dinner.

Compared to the rest of the kingdom, the nobility of Ice Blue City is more traditional and still follows the ancient diet and rest schedule.

They have four meals a day, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Dinner is a full meal, I will drink a little wine, and after eating, I will rest for a while before going to bed.

"Margaret, what's new at school today?" Lady Ursula asked. Dinner of the day is a time for family communication, and most of the time, my mother asks about things at school.

"Nothing new." Margareth poked the steak on the plate, a little uninterested.

Lady Ursula saw that her daughter was strange, and Margares rarely showed a depressed mood, so she asked with concern, "What's the matter, is there something unhappy?" ”

"No, it's just boring." Margareth said listlessly.

"Is it just boring?" Mrs. Ursula put down her knife and fork and looked her daughter in the eye with a serious expression.

"Well......" said Margareth in frustration at her mother's gaze, "I'll admit that it's a little trouble. ”

"Tell me about it, maybe I can give you some advice." Mrs. Ursula took a sip of her wine glass.

Margaret fell silent, her eyes looking from the dining table to the ceiling and then to the garden outside the window, as if she was hesitating for something.

"Are you sure it's a minor nuisance?" Lady Ursula began to pay attention.

Margareth tapped her fingers on the table, bit her lip again, looked a little irritated, and under the repeated questioning of Lady Ursula, she finally said, "Little Zott." ”

"He's pestering you again?" Mrs. Ursula was a little worried, and a little remorseful. If it weren't for her, how dare little Zot be so presumptuous with an earl's daughter.

"He said that Councillor Zotte has ......," Margareth paused for a moment before she said, "I have given up on you, and if I don't accept him, our family will soon suffer." ”

"He, did he really say that?" Mrs. Ursula was somewhat unconvinced.

"How much do you think your old lover cares about you?" Margareth looked dismissive, "If I'm not mistaken, it's been a long time since you've been dating. ”

"You, what do you say!" Lady Ursula's face turned pale in an instant. She couldn't help but think of the coldness that Councillor Zotte had treated her during this time. They hadn't seen each other for more than a month, and she thought that the current situation was turbulent and the other party was busy with political affairs, and when she heard such words, a sense of crisis broke out at once.

"I'm going to find my master." Margareth said suddenly.

"Nonsense!" Lady Ursula subconsciously rebuked, "Your master is in the edge town of the northern wilderness, where monsters are rampant and there is no satellite signal, it will be very dangerous!" ”

"Isn't Ice Blue City dangerous?" Margareth sneered, "By that old fellow? She tilted her neck and said disdainfully, "I think you're going to give your daughter to their father and son as playthings." ”

Margareth straightened up her slightly green chest, put her hand on it, and showed a flattering attitude, "Countess Ursula, how do you look at my figure, can I give you a long face?" ”

The young girl pretended to be a mature girl, and her pretentious appearance was unique, but in the eyes of Mrs. Ursula, she only felt that her face was hot, as if she had been slapped hard.

"No matter what you say, I won't agree to this!" Lady Ursula gritted her teeth and insisted, "You are still studying, don't even think about going anywhere until you finish your studies!" ”

"It seems that I am going to marry into the Zute family, and when the time comes, our mother and daughter will serve their father and son together, how good~" Margareth said in a weird manner.

Lady Ursula looked at her daughter, her face changed several times, angry, self-blaming, and painful, and finally she held her forehead and sighed softly, "It's really not good, I'll send you to the noble boarding school in Monitor Lizard City, so that you can be closer to your master." ”

"Really!" Margareth looked surprised, "You agreed with me to go?" ”

"You are my sweetheart, how can you bear to let the pig arch." Lady Ursula sighed. The youngest son of the Zuote family, none of his physical appearance, academic ability, and ability are qualified, and if his daughter follows him, his life will be miserable in the future.

"Miss, Miss, you can't go in!"

The maid's anxious voice came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps, the door of the dining room was violently pushed open, and a black figure burst in.

"Madam, I'm sorry, I can't stop her."

The person who came was tall, dressed in a compact black military uniform, with long leather boots and a military hat on his feet, strong and neat.

Seeing the visitor's face, Lady Ursula raised her hand to the maid, motioned for her to stand down, and then rose to greet her.

"Miss Ghost Fox......"

Lady Ursula had just spoken, but she was interrupted.

"You've got an hour to pack up and get out of here."

"Miss Ghost Fox, I don't understand what you mean." Lady Ursula wondered.

"Just half an hour ago, the Supreme Governor of the Black Prison issued an arrest warrant for the Ursula family, and your captors will be there soon."

"Why should we believe you?" Margareth slapped the table and stood up, "You traitor! ”

Facing the girl's horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, the ghost fox's gaze met it, and he said in a calm voice, "The ghost fox has never betrayed its master. ”

The two stared at each other for nearly a minute, and finally, at the persuasion of Lady Ursula, pulled out their chairs and sat down.

"Miss Ghost Fox, we are just a poor mother and daughter, we have no political position and no crime, why are you arresting us?"

"Councillor Zolt has taken you as a victim." Ghost Fox said.

"Isn't the Zotte MP from the Queen's Party?" Mrs. Ursula could not believe that her old lover, who had pursued her for many years, would sacrifice her. And there is no point in sacrifice, the Zotte parliamentarian has always supported the queen, and the black prison is a direct agency of the queen.

"Although MP Zot has always advertised himself as a loyal follower of the Queen, he is actually quite vacillating, and some time ago he attended a secret meeting of the royalist party. This matter was dug up by Ajomu. In order to protect himself, the Zotte parliamentarian provided some evidence about you......"

"About me?" Lady Ursula's face was ashen, and she muttered, "I haven't done anything. ”

"Five years ago, were you working as a material supervisor in the logistics department of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard?"

"I ......" Lady Ursula sat down in despair, and for a moment she was stunned, her face covered with her hands, and she began to whimper.

Five years ago, her husband died. Since he did not die on the battlefield, but died from his own operational mistakes, the pension was very small. The commander of the Praetorian Guard, in order to take care of her, arranged for her to be in the logistics department.

During that time, she took some bribes, but not in large amounts. didn't expect that many years later, she would be used as a bargaining chip by the person she trusted the most.

"It's come to this, it's useless to be sad, hurry up and pack your things and go." The ghost fox persuaded.

"Where are you going?" Lady Ursula looked dazed and grabbed the ghost fox's hand, "Where else can we go?" ”

"Go to the master, Miss Margareth's master, as long as you come to him, you will be safe." Ghost Fox said.

Lady Ursula had not yet recovered from the blow, and was in a daze, and Margarets had already left the dining-room, and had ordered the butlers and servants to pack their bags.

"Miss Margareth, the pier to Dragon's Heart Lake will soon be blocked. I have arranged a boat at Princess Lake, you can go down the river, enter the East Canal, pass through White Tiger City and Donghaiwang, and then pass through Changwei City, take a long detour into the Principality of Chiyan, climb over the Chiyan Mountains, and then go to the northern wilderness. ”

"When you see your master, tell him that he will always be the king of the ghost fox."

Half an hour later, an old freight wagon quietly drove out of the back door of the Earl's Palace, and disappeared into the twilight with the light sound of horses' hooves.
