"Anyway, my Pazzy drank your perfume and became ill, and it took several washes to ease his stomach a little." It was a gorgeously dressed girl with a brown-haired poodle in her arms.

"Miss Albic, with all due respect, perfume is not to be drunk. It's common sense." The clerk replied politely.

"I don't care, anyway, it comes down to something wrong with the Medici family that almost killed my little Patsy." As she spoke, she also touched the puppy named "Patzi" in her arms with her hand.

"Sorry, it's not in our service." The clerk apologized slightly.

"What? Isn't that what you sell in your shop?"

"This ......" the clerk was a little embarrassed.

"Is that how the Medici treat their guests?"

"Pastia, what are you doing again?" Elena stepped forward angrily.

"Yo, isn't this the eldest lady of the Medici?" Pastia's expression changed suddenly, "What a coincidence."

"yes, that's not a coincidence."

"Since you're here, you're responsible for the compensation, right?"

"Okay, let me pay you a few punches." Elena rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Bella behind her.

"Ah, the eldest lady of the Medici family is so rude and violent to her guests." Pastia looked frightened, but her tone was slightly exaggerated.

"Okay, I won't do it. Since you are here to theorize, I will accompany you to reason." Elena retracted her fists and unfolded the folding fan in her hand.

"You should have heard just now, my pet was poisoned by the products sold in your store, and I must give an explanation today."

"I'm sorry, perfume is meant to be used externally, who would have thought that someone would be stupid enough to let their pet eat it by mistake?"

"You!" The other frowned, "In that case, why don't you produce perfumes that you can drink?"

"That's our business, don't buy it if you don't like it?"

"Oh, there's also business to drive guests out~!"

"Ah, who are you talking about? I'm just chasing away a fly during my daily cleaning."

"Is this a blatant provocation?" Pastia's expression was visibly annoyed.

"I think you're the one who is trying to find fault!" Elena didn't show any weakness either.

"It's obviously your family's perfume problem, do you want to evade responsibility now?"

"Joke, do you have to accuse the craftsman of being too skilled when you get a needle pricked while embroidering?"

"You're right, I'm going to accuse you right now."

"Okay, I'll play with you today."

The two looked at each other angrily, and the store smelled of gunpowder.

Bella and Anna watched from the sidelines, not knowing what to do.

On the contrary, the clerk just now seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

"Elena, is it okay?" Bella asked softly.

"No problem, but we'll have to come back another day. I met an eye-catching guy today, and I don't even feel in the mood to go shopping." Elena turned to Bella.

"Won't it be troublesome?"

"It's okay, but it's just going to take a stroll around the Lord's Palace, so you can go over and have fun too?"

"Huh?" Bella looked a little surprised.

Is this going to court?

However, seeing Elena's confident appearance, it shouldn't be a problem.

So, with her retinue and Elena, Pastia left the shop and headed for the Palazzo della Signoria.

Along the way, the residents on both sides of the street, seeing the two eldest ladies walking together, all talked with great interest, as if this kind of scene was commonplace.

"Ah, the two young ladies are in a lawsuit again?" A shoemaker stopped his hammer.

"Hey, it's been a few days of separation, and now the two of them are finally starting." A tailor sits leisurely in front of his shop.

"Hurry up, buy and leave, the odds are still the same as usual." A tavern owner hurriedly opened a game.

……

Bella is an eye-opener, and everyone is used to co-authoring?

Anna didn't care at all, she was always attracted by the street stalls, and before she had taken two steps to stop and look, she had several more things to eat.

The Palazzo della Signoria is located in the heart of the city and is also the political center of Florence.

Families and nobles occupied the Senate of the Lord's Palace, and general issues were decided by deliberation and voting. This includes important political decisions, economic tax rates, military operations, judicial arbitration, and more.

Disputes like this kind of public opinion are also within the scope of the daily affairs of the Lord's Palace.

However, looking at Elena's appearance, she is already familiar with the road and seems to be frequented.

The senators were broadly divided into two categories, those controlled by the Medici and Albici families, and the clergy affiliated with the Church.

The lord generally does not take a direct stand, and most of the time is left to the audience to speak and debate, maintaining order and making a final judgment if necessary.

In other words, a few large families wield the actual power and wealth of the city. Among them, the Medici family and the Albici family are the most powerful.

The Medici family also had a close relationship with the Holy See, and the Medici Bank was attached to the church for taxation, so many clergy would also be on this side.

As a result, the influence of the Medici family surpassed that of the Albici family to a certain extent.

"Anyway," the lord shook the bell, "Pastia de Albici sued Elena de' Medici for the cost of her pet's medicine. The vote is now open."

The assistant then walked past each councillor in turn, carrying a plate containing black and white stones.

Each person will choose a stone to throw into the chalice.

In the end, all the votes were gathered on the chairman.

"Vote result, dismissed." The lord pronounced the sentence.

The situation can almost be said to be expected, with a clear advantage in the number of votes.

"Elena, you're messing around again." A middle-aged man with a beard walked over.

"Hmph, I'm not messing around, it's her own trouble." Elena looked away, as if she didn't want to see the man.

"These two are ......," the other looked at Bella and Anna.

"My guest, you don't have to worry about it!"

"That must be the Carlos sisters, right?" A happy expression immediately appeared on the bearded face, "I'm sorry, the little girl is more willful and has caused trouble for the two of you."

"First meeting." Bella and Anna curtsy very gracefully.

The other party bowed slightly.

Cosimo de' Medici was Elena's father and the helmsman of the Medici family today.

"Nothing, let's go first." Elena didn't seem to want to stay any longer.

"In the evening, there will be a feast for two people, if there is a need, please feel free to bring it up." Cosimo said generously.

"It's a nuisance." Bella replied politely.

"Alright, you can go about your business." Elena pulled Bella up, "Let's go."

Her fiery personality made Bella and Anna have to say goodbye to their elders in a hurry, and they were dragged out of the Lord's Palace.

"Don't talk so much nonsense with him, look high-sounding all day long." Elena said angrily.

"However, Ling Zun doesn't look that bad." Bella remembered the way Elena looked when she was talking about her father in Valdraz.

It seems like there is a lot of grudge.

"I tell you, but don't be deceived by his sanctimonious appearance." Elena was angry.

Bella could only smile, and she couldn't put her beak in it.
