"Master, you can't believe the words of the horse bandits, you have to be firm in your beliefs, don't fall for the horse bandits. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the midst of the Earl of Lorraine's hesitation, Lady Lorraine suddenly spoke.

Madame Lorraine was a rich-looking person, and knew how to enjoy it, and today she was leaning back in a chair in a gorgeous dress, with a maid behind her gently beating her shoulders, and in her hand she held a cup of fruit drink, and tasted it gently, which was brewed from the freshly harvested fruit, and the taste was refreshing, and it was very suitable for drinking in the summer, and she gave the fruit drink to the maid as she spoke, and the look on her face was more anxious than that of the Count of Lorraine. Her anxiety was not pretended, she was really worried that the Earl's heart would be soft and he would save the bastard.

In the past, although the countess did not like the bastard, she was not very repulsive, but this time when she came back, she suddenly found that the bastard child had long since changed from what it used to be, not only did she become a highly regarded magician in the Yus Empire, but her means were also extraordinary, and it was said that she had a close relationship with the Robert family, who controlled the military power on the southeast border, and even some servants said that the bastard had an extraordinary relationship with the heir of the Robert family. In short, the strength and ability shown by the illegitimate son are not comparable to the two sons of the countess. This judgment made the Countess full of a sense of crisis about the future of herself and her two sons, if the old Earl was alive, she was not afraid, but if the old Earl died one day, the illegitimate son with the background of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy and the support of the Robert family might take away the dominance of the family. As long as she thought of this possibility, Mrs. Lorraine felt like a man's back, but God opened her eyes, the Bols horse bandit didn't know where to come out of nowhere and actually kidnapped this illegitimate child, and now the horse bandit asked the Count of Lorraine for ransom, although it was inconvenient for Mrs. Lorraine to directly object, but she also had to find a way to make the horse bandit tear up the ticket.

"Anyway, he is also a descendant of our Lorraine family, and he has the blood of the Lorraine family in his body, how can he give up and give up?"

The Count of Lorraine listened to the Madame's words and shook his head disapprovingly.

"Father, the Bols bandits have always been ruthless, and I heard that their men never leave anyone alive, so I think we should not waste our efforts, otherwise we will only lose our personal wealth. Besides, they have a big mouth, and they want 200,000 pounds of grain as soon as they come up, and it is said that this year, the grain business between the empire and the south has been affected by a one-sided war, so the imperial court has increased the amount of tax and grain that our family needs to pay. ”

Cluny, the eldest son of the Count of Lorraine, followed Madame Lorraine, and said with the same concern, that he was clearly on the side of his mother, and deliberately acted as if he was thinking of the interests of the family.

"200,000 pounds is a lot less, not too much, although the empire has raised taxes and grain, but with the amount of our family's reserves, this is not a problem, and after all, he fell into the hands of horse bandits for the sake of the family, if the family abandons it, wouldn't it make others laugh if it is passed out?"

The son's words sent a trace of struggle in the eyes of the Count of Lorraine.

"Master, as a child of the Lorraine family, it is originally a matter of duty to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the family, he is gone, we treat his mother Winnie well..."

The Countess saw that the Count was finally showing signs of excitement, and decided to strike while the iron was hot and convince her husband, but before she could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the door of the drawing-room.

"Come in!"

The Count of Lorraine said, and as the door to the living room opened, the butler walked in from the outside.

"Back to my lord, Winnie Vera is still kneeling outside and refusing to leave. ”

The butler, after bowing to a few of the people in the room, came to the earl and bowed:

"Didn't you let her go home and wait for news? Why are you still here? You go and tell her, let her leave quickly, I'm thinking of a way, this matter is not decided at once, it needs to be thought through, and it is useless for her to stay here. ”

The Earl of Lorraine waved his hand out the window and said impatiently.

"Sir, I have already said something similar, but Winnie just didn't listen, and she said that as long as the master didn't give the order, she wouldn't get up even if she knelt to death. ”

The butler said helplessly.

"It's really unreasonable, who does she think she is, and threatens the master, and asks people to drag her out of the manor, and she will die a little farther..."

Madame Lorraine slapped the table beside her, stood up, pointed in the direction of the door, and said angrily. But before she could finish speaking, the door to the living room was pushed open from the outside again, and a soaking wet servant rushed in in a panic.

"Bold, who is so reckless and rude, doesn't even understand the most basic etiquette at home?"

The Earl of Lorraine saw that the visitor was in a state of embarrassment, and rushed in without even knocking on the door, not only pointing at the visitor and scolding him angrily.

"Old... Master, it's not a good thing. ”

The servant who rushed in did not bother to answer the countess's question, but fell to his knees, gasping for air.

"What's the matter at the door, tell me quickly. ”

The steward recognized the servant who was guarding the gates of the manor.

"Master, just now there were a few black-clothed people on horseback outside the gate of the manor, they claimed to be Young Master Elvis's classmates, and they came from Boulder City to see the master. Seeing that they were carrying weapons and that they were not good visitors, we stopped them at the door and said that the master was not seeing any guests today, and that they should come back another day, but not only did they not leave, but one of the archers even shot and wounded our men. And threatened that if the master did not see them, they would kill them. ”

The servant knelt on the ground and deliberately exaggerated, alarmist.

When several people in the living room heard that someone claiming to be Elvis's classmate, their faces suddenly changed, especially Madame Lorraine and her son Clooney, whose faces turned extremely pale.

"You're saying they're from the Imperial Capital of Boulder City, and they claim to be Elvis' classmates?"

Clooney asked nervously.

"Yes. One of them said it himself by a man dressed as a magician. ”

Hearing the eldest young master's question, the servant hurriedly replied.

"Father, someone must have reported the news, otherwise Elvis's classmates would not have rushed over so quickly, their mother and son didn't believe that you would save him from the beginning, so they had already arranged for a backhand. ”

Clooney looked at the Count of Lorraine and said in an angry tone.

"Yes, sir. Elvis's classmates didn't try to save him, but instead came to the manor, what they wanted to do, you can imagine what they wanted to do!"

Madame Lorraine also added fuel to the fire and alarmist, and they wanted to put the blame on Elvis mother and son, so that the Count of Lorraine was even more dissatisfied with them.

"Don't make any noise, let me be quiet. There is something strange about this matter, and even if someone sends a message, there is no reason for them to come so quickly, so we need to understand the situation first. ”

The Count of Lorraine was annoyed by their quarrel for a while, but he quickly calmed down first, after all, he was a person who had seen the world, and he would not be swayed by a few words from his wife and children.
