=================
Furious Battle City has begun to reveal a hint of spring. Although there was still snow on the ground, the black soil had been exposed in many places, and a trace of hot steam seemed to be rising from the ground. An inexplicable itch spread through everyone's body, as if to remind everyone that spring was approaching, and it was time to take off their heavy winter clothes and put on light, bright spring clothes. The city of Furious Battle, which had been silent in the snow for a winter, is now starting to be lively again, with countless teams of recruits singing loudly in the camp near the city, intense training, and a burst of vitality that makes the sky look a lot brighter.
However, in a manor in the south of the city, it seems that the cold winter still occupies an absolute advantage here, and the gloomy and cold atmosphere permeates every corner of the manor, and there is no feeling of vitality outside. Even the shouting of the recruits who ran outside the manor, once they penetrated the courtyard, were absorbed by the cold aura, and could no longer spread farther. The entire courtyard was deserted, as if no one lived at all.
However, in the center of the manor, in a small warm pavilion, a big fat man with a cigarette in his mouth was happily lying on his pure gold chair and spitting smoke rings. A pot of thick fragrant tea was bubbling on the small stove beside him, and a thick warm fragrance of tea wafted in this room with a length and width of fifty feet, a comfort and laziness that directly penetrated into people's bones, so that the few little maids standing almost couldn't help yawning.
In the huge fireplace, the log chopping wood made a 'crackling' sound, and waves of heat rose from the fireplace, giving the room a warmth almost late spring. Facing the fireplace, Medusa was sitting less than five feet away in front of the fireplace, although she was only wearing a thin and almost transparent gauze dress, but there were still small beads of sweat on her forehead, and her face was also red, and she looked extremely charming. Her slender fingers gently pinched a small teacup, and she was constantly feeding the white kitten in her hand.
The poor kitten couldn't bear the hot tea, and there was a hoarse chirp in her throat, but Medusa's left five fingers wrapped around the kitten's neck like wire, and the white smoke of the tea poured into the cat's throat without hesitation, and the cat suddenly shook violently.
Medusa threw the teacup on the carpet dissatisfied, threw the cat out casually, and said lazily: "This tea is too bad, I have tried several cats, but none of them like it." Isn't there a better tea in the Empire? It really makes me sad that the prince of the Empire can't find a little bit of fine tea in his palace. Hmph, I don't know where all the money goes every year, but it's all replaced by the ring on your finger?
The big fat man, that is, Prince Andrei, snorted in comfort, as if he were a horse. After shaking the footboard slightly, and still going out two feet away from one of the embroidered slippers on the footboard, Andrei seemed a little tired and said, "All right, my darling, I know what you have to say." Don't toss those poor cats, say, let's say, how much pocket money do you want this month? Although I am a prince, my income in my territory is limited, you need to save me a little. So, this month, I'll give you 100,000 gold coins... ”
Medusa's eyes rolled and she looked at her father very viciously, and she said sharply, "Aha, my father, I am begging from you, it must be so." 100,000 gold coins, oh my God, what am I going to do with 100,000 gold coins?A silk dress from the Wright Empire or a set of magic jewelry from the Smart Empire? Medusa did not hide her contempt for her father, as if her father were a real miser.
Andrei snorted, and Medusa quickly said: "One hundred thousand gold coins, well, well, I can tell you, father, any son or daughter of the Marquis of the Imperial Capital will get much more money in a month than this." And me? Am I not your daughter, am I not the lord of the empire, why do we have to quarrel over this issue every month, why can't you be as generous as those nobles?"
Andrei rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, and after looking at the ring on his finger, he sighed and said, "Okay, Medusa, you have to understand that my income is limited, and my expenses are huge, as you have always known." Can't you be considerate of me? Well, 200,000 gold coins, there's only so much for this month... Although I am your father, I am definitely not a person who dotes on my own children, and I will give my daughter a bonus according to her achievements, otherwise you will not want to get any of them. ”
Medusa stood up angrily, her long hair fluttering violently with a sudden breeze, and her clothes fluttered three feet above the ground, like a witch. She looked at Andre angrily, pointed at Andre's nose mercilessly, and said, "Generous father, you are really... Is it because I didn't hook Ray's gorilla into my bed, so you're so stingy? God, you're a kind, loving father, a model of a loving father on the continent... Come to think of it, when I secretly left the Van Empire seven years ago and went to the Smart Empire under a pseudonym to study magic, I still had more than 20 million gold miles a year for me to use. ”
Andre was not ashamed, and said as a matter of course: "My baby, that's because I'm investing, because I think that a daughter who knows advanced magic will be of great help to me, so I will invest such a huge amount of assets... However, businessmen are all particular about returns, and if a daughter who has the fifth-order magic strength of the Diamond Dragon and the strength of a second-order golden swordsman does not help me in any way, why should I continue to give her 1.5 million gold coins every month as expenses?"
Andre **** pursed his lips and said coldly: "200,000 gold coins, it can't be more." At the very least, my daughter, your current worth is much higher than that of those barons and viscounts' daughters, and the total income of their entire family is less than 100,000 gold coins a year. André said this almost brazenly, not paying the slightest attention to his daughter's anger and threat of force. He happily spat out a smoke ring, then another smoke ring, then another.
Medusa was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her father, who was broad-hearted and fat, took a sip of hot tea from his maid's teacup, and said triumphantly, "A daughter who can't accomplish anything may still have some use." At least she can be married to the crown prince of a certain country on the mainland, and she can become the crown princess in the future, and if she is lucky, she will become the queen. Of course, for the sake of a future queen, I am willing to invest five million a month, but a crown princess is only worth 200,000, and my dear, at most, it is only worth 200,000. If it weren't for my daughter, I wouldn't even be willing to pay a copper plate at all. ”
Medusa said viciously, "You old dog that stenges of copper. ”
Andrei said indifferently like a street hooligan: "Well, then, you are a dog... Medusa, my precious daughter, remember, you are my daughter and everything you have is given by me. No matter how beautiful you are, no matter how powerful you are, you are nothing without me, and even you understand that there is such a possibility that your status will become inferior to that of the lowest prostitute... Of course, I don't want my daughter to become a prostitute who is pressed by men, so she has to work hard herself. ”
Throwing the cigarette butt into the crystal spittoon beside him, Andre struggled to erect his upper body, gasped and said, "Of course you have known me since I was a child, what kind of person your father is." Dear daughter, I have taught you since I was a child that in this world, there is no bullshit family affection, there is only use and benefit. Even, I once made it clear to you that if you are not my daughter, then I am still very tempted by your beauty. Since I can comfortably enjoy your distant cousin, I don't mind trying how wonderful my daughter is if you can't please me. ”
Andre's eyes flashed with a hint of danger, as if a king cobra was staring at its prey: "Remember, you are worth 200,000 now, but if one day when you are not worth 200,000, the only thing you are worth is your body... I don't think he would mind if he were to marry you to a future emperor who was a virgin ... Nobles over twelve years old have no virgins, dear Medusa, you are already a special case. ”
Medusa was trembling all over, and she couldn't tell if she was angry or scared. She fell back to the ground, nodded fiercely, bit her lip and squeezed out a few words: "So, dear father, I understand." Our father-daughter relationship is just a business partnership, isn't it?"
Andrei looked at Medusa very sincerely, nodded and said, "Of course, my dear daughter, this is the relationship. I have given you life, I have given you the best enjoyment in the world, the highest education, but you have not yet given me anything, and no businessman will consider it reasonable. So, you have to work hard, my daughter. I don't keep a useless waste in vain, any waste, if there is no use value, then ... Just disappear from me consciously. ”
Andrei muttered: "Even if I am a prince, it is very difficult and hard to earn a huge amount of gold coins, you must understand my position, right?"
Medusa jerked around and walked towards the door of the room. Andre hurriedly stopped her: "Oh, baby, don't leave in such a hurry, look, look, what have you forgotten?" He laboriously took out two cheques with a denomination of 100,000 gold coins from the wide pocket of the robe he was wearing, and threw them on the ground casually. Medusa was silent for a while, clenched her fists tightly, walked over with stiff steps, crouched down, and gently picked up the two checks.
Andrei stroked Medusa's smooth face affectionately, and said affectionately: "Oh, baby, you know, I actually have great hopes for you. If you can attract your cousin, now His Majesty Shagru, I don't mind giving you more gold. However, Shagru is not willing to risk taboo associating with you, so you can only work hard in other areas... Oh, remember, don't do anything that makes me sad ... Your strength, I know very well, you can't hide it from me, without me, you are nothing. ”
Medusa jerked her head up and saved her face from Andrei's fat palm. She said coldly, "Understood, Father. ”
Andre nodded slowly: "Good daughter, go, go and enjoy your life." I think you already know that General Jerry is on his way to the Imperial Capital, so get ready for a night party. Lei's stinky boy, hehe, what's wrong with being my son-in-law? I actually admire him very much, since he doesn't appreciate his face, then let him go, let him be his Duke of Taiping in other provinces in the future... Dress up nicely, my daughter. ”
As if thinking of something, Andre took out ten checks again and said seriously: "This is another investment, my daughter, remember... Go and prepare some rare jewelry, dress yourself up beautifully, well, what a little beauty. ”
Medusa left the room as if she were running away. Andrei watched Medusa's slender figure go away, watched his guards close the door again, and then lay down on the pure gold chair again, raised his right hand weakly, grabbed the thigh of the maid beside him, and hummed and said: "My dear, faithful servant Oliver, you have really done a very, very interesting thing this time. ”
Oliver, who had been kneeling in a corner of the room, with cold sweat on his forehead, crawled ten feet in front of Andre and stammered, "Your Excellency... Your Royal Highness, I, I... I didn't mean it ... ”
Andre easily waved his fat palm, slapped his hand heavily on the buttocks of the maid, and took the petite maid in his arms, laughed and said: "Yes, yes, not intentionally, hehehehe, it's really funny, not intentional, but to achieve such an ideal result, it really makes me very satisfied... Well, the Praetorian Guards and the Guards, hmph, those idiots of the Walters family, they didn't succeed in rebelling, but they were completely deprived of military power by Shagru, and I lost the control of those two legions, so I just took the opportunity to eliminate them, so I could rearrange people to enter. ”
Oliver trembled violently, and he seemed to understand something inside the story that he was definitely not qualified to participate in before. Could it be that the Watters had anything to do with the rebellion in those provinces?And what does it mean that the actual control of the two legions was in Andrei's hands? Drops of cold sweat seeped from Oliver's forehead and dripped onto the rich carpet.
Andre looked at Oliver trembling like a dog, he sighed softly, smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's no big deal, don't be afraid, dear Oliver." After so long of your service to me, I have decided to make you my servant ... Hehehehe, are you excited, you should feel infinitely honored to be able to truly serve me, right?"
Oliver swallowed a mouthful of his own spit urgently, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I, I, I, I am so honored to be able to serve you, I am... "The gods in the sky were called by Oliver again, and Oliver once again made an oath in the name of the gods, which is nothing more than to swear to serve Prince Andrew, go to the soup and fire, stick a knife in both ribs, and treat death as home, etc.
Andre grew happily, his big hand frantically rubbed the body of the maid on his body, gasping and said: "You are a very smart and clever person, although you are sometimes too confused, too greedy, and even sometimes some villains are arrogant, and rely on my power to bully others, which has led to a lot of enemies, but at least you played beautifully this time, whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally, at least you did something I wanted to do but couldn't do... Hehehehehe. ”
Oliver stood up, bowed respectfully, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, it is an honor to serve you. ”
Andre waved his arm lightly and said softly: "Then, great, you must not show up in the imperial capital recently, I don't want you to be captured and killed by the military." There are even more than two dozen aristocratic families who have said that they will kill you, so you have to be careful? Only in my manor can I guarantee your safety. Of course, when the wind passes, when I take care of this matter, you will be absolutely safe... If you don't have anything to do, you can assist the county lord in preparing for the banquet, huh?"
What else would Oliver refuse? He quickly nodded in agreement.
Andrei bit the maid's shoulder fiercely, the maid let out a cat-like moan, Andrei said vaguely: "Monitor all the actions of Medusa, she dares to do something that hurts my interests, then, you report it to me immediately... Except when she goes to bed, you want to be with her at any other time. ”
Oliver hurriedly bowed, and Andre nodded lightly and hummed. Oliver knew he should leave, and slowly, his waist bent into a hundred degrees, and walked backwards towards the door...
The door shut, and a series of loud gasps and screams of maids came from the room. Oliver shivered a few times in succession, and a sense of relief from death came over him, and he walked in the snow, reverently thanking the gods in the sky.
Medusa stood indifferently on the balcony of a building in the distance, looking coldly at Oliver with a happy face, her face was full of disdain...
