Chapter 90: Loyalty is a Virtue

Natural beauty is naturally rare, but if there is no rouge whitewash and exquisite costumes, then beauty will be degraded, like dusty pearls falling into the sludge and becoming inconspicuous.

When Cecilia reappeared in front of Julian after grooming and dressing, Julian was amazed by her beauty, and Cecilia at this time showed a completely different temperament from the previous cook, becoming elegant and decent, and even speaking softly, probably a kind of illusion presented by beauty.

"Yes, yes, yes!" said Julian.

Although the evaluation is high, but that's all, "After the re-election, you will live in the mansion, as Christine's maid." Then he waved Cecilia to step back.

"Great, Cecilia. Christine said happily.

"Yes, it's so good that I can stay by your side and serve you from now on. Cecilia forced a smile.

Cecilia had thought that Julian would be impressed by her beauty when he saw her for the first time, and then fell under her pomegranate dress, how many times did such a naΓ―ve fantasy repeat in Cecilia's mind, "How reserved should I agree to his request?" Cecilia replied shyly to herself.

But dreams, no matter how real they were, were illusory, and Cecilia's dreams were only half realized, no, even a small part, and Julian took her in, but did not reveal the lewd, lustful look that Cecilia expected.

Cecilia liked the undisguised lust in a man's eyes, and the more filthy and lewd it was, the more Cecilia was delighted, because it proved that she had conquered another man.

Cecilia gritted her teeth secretly, she couldn't stand such a contemptuous gaze, she vowed to make Julian smesmerized and become a slave at her feet, "Sooner or later, one day, I will make you for me." Cecilia muttered to herself.

Julian, on his part, admired Cecilia's beauty, but Julian was never a good trader, he was a greedy snake, a cruel lion, a proud eagle, he was a complete robber, he only took by force, and did not know what to give and exchange. If someone could get something out of Julian's hands, it would be nothing more than a handout of joy or pity on Julian.

"You've paid off all your debts and made a lot of money. Sebas's words are as melodious as bagpipes.

"Not bad. Julian smiled, he had almost wiped out the entire Boulder City, and if that didn't make up for his loss, it would be too bad. This news gave Julian, who had been in an increasingly anxious mood recently, a touch of tranquility and comfort.

"Neither of you made it to my funeral. Julian suddenly changed his words and abruptly asked Edgar and Sebas, "Didn't you get the news?

"Young master, although I received this news, I only believe my crow, and my crow tells me that you are not dead. Sebas seemed to be ready, a succinct, sly answer.

"It's cunning. "What can stump this immortal?!

"I .....," Edgar replied apprehensively, "I had planned to go to Wave City with Miss Rosalind after hearing of your death, but the underground terrain of Wave City apparently heard the news, and they took to the streets like a carnival to celebrate ......."

"Celebrate my death?" added Julian as he saw Edgar stop talking.

"Yes....... During that time, there were several riots in the city. Edgar's face turned pale, and he waited anxiously for Julian's furiousness.

"Edgar, you did the right thing, I have no reason to punish you. Compared to my senseless funeral, you protected the peace of Azuchi Castle, which obviously makes more sense than that. ”

"Edgar, I canonize you as a viscount, you brought me victory on the Dawn Plains, and you deserved to protect Azuchi City in an orderly manner during the days of my absence. ”

Edgar was stunned and overjoyed by the sudden accolade, and he thought he was waiting for Julian's stormy rage.

"You think I'm going to punish you?" asked Julian with a smile.

"I know the wisdom of your lordship. Edgar quickly denied what he had in mind.

"I'm far from being a wise person. But Edgar, I am a just man, I have a balance in my heart, and at both ends of the scale are good and evil, reward and punishment, and I am always broad-minded to those who are able. Julian said slowly, suddenly changing his words, his face was calm, "But I will never tolerate betrayal and deception, tell Corleone, let him come to see me!"

"Your Excellency Corleone, you've been waiting outside for a long time. Sebas said.

"Oh, I thought he was going to run away. ”

"No, when I heard the news of your return, I waited in the house. ”

Corleone's hair was meticulously groomed and shiny, and he was wearing a black gown that looked like he was on his way to a banquet, which was also neat and neat, without a trace of wrinkles, and he saluted Julian respectfully, "Welcome back, Lord Count." ”

"I thought you would look panicked, staggering to your knees in front of me, begging for my forgiveness. Julian said in surprise.

"I have not betrayed you in any way, and I believe that you are a just person who will never punish me for no reason. Corleone said confidently.

Julian's face was strange, and after a long time, he asked: "Your Excellency Corleone, I believe that you are by no means a stupid person, on the contrary, you are a very capable and discerning person, and you know how to do it, but this time, I am very disappointed in you, I helped you sweep away dissidents, and made you the uncrowned king of Azuchi City ----- the underground emperor, but you repay me with these? Of course, I believe that this is not your intention, but you did not control and restrain your subordinates, and you cannot escape the blame for this." Julian's words reprimanded loudly and loudly.

Corleone replied, "My lord, it is of course my fault that I have not been able to control my men, and I am willing to accept any punishment, but before I ask for your help, you have promised me that you will grant me any request without offending your interests." ”

Julian grinned and laughed loudly, "Your Excellency Corleone, you have a lot of courage, I originally planned to make you never able to walk through this door again, but I have changed my mind for the time being, and I will tell you what you requested. ”

Julian's words made Corleone secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but he also keenly sensed that what Julian said was only temporary, which means that Julian may change his mind at any time, so he must firmly grasp the opportunity, "I think the most important virtue of a person is loyalty, and after receiving your orders, I dare not fail to do my best, so I sent my most powerful subordinates to Boulder City and Raging Wave City." ”

"Well, you did a good job of both of those things, and I should reward you from that point of view, but only if you can explain the riots after my funeral. ”

"What I'm talking about is tied to these two things. At first, with your help, I was able to integrate the underground forces of the entire Azuchi Castle, but it was all because of your prestige that those who were dissatisfied with me and had ill intentions did not dare to act rashly. But as soon as the news of your death reached Raging Waves, those guys jumped out against me. ”

Julian pondered, "So this matter is my fault, in order to help me do things, you sent your right-hand man, so you weakened your control over the organization, and then your prestige collapsed because of my death!"

"This is indeed caused by the news of your sudden "death", who made me a mere servant of yours who can only do things by a glimmer of your glory. ”

"Interesting. Who's that person?"

"Scar Jack was originally the leader of the Blackheart. ”
