Chapter 17: The Lord Who Lives by Charity

"My little Annie, could I please you for one thing. ”

After the dinner, Stannis said to Aniste with a twist.

"Brother Stan, do we still need to ask each other!" The aristocratic lady was not deeply involved in the world at first glance, and did not immediately notice his ill intentions.

However, looking at his crimson face and greedy eyes, Anne still put her hand on her chest and said shyly: "Brother, didn't we say that we would leave that first time on the wedding night." ”

What a mess!

"What do you think of me! I want you to introduce me to your father, my father-in-law. Stannis said with an unchanged face.

Anister blinked her beautiful violet eyes, and didn't know why, "Aren't you most afraid of seeing my daddy? ”

However, she blushed slightly, she didn't expect him to think of herself as his fiancée so quickly.

"Do you have something important to discuss?"

Anne closed one eye and puffed out her mouth to look at him suspiciously, she clearly didn't believe it.

"Then what are you looking for Daddy?"

Stannis shouted, "This is a matter between men and men, how can you let girls get involved." ”

In his impression, this domineering style should be the most popular with soft and cute girls.

"Then I refuse. Anne rebuffed him.

Stannis almost vomited blood, but he still suffered a loss of being too young, so he hurriedly wagged his tail and begged, "Okay, my sister Anne, take me to see your father, or tomorrow I will drink the northwest wind!"

"It turned out to be borrowing money. Anister was not as innocent as she looked, she looked at her toes, and her tone was hesitant, "But not lately, Daddy has been furious about the foreign debt problem these days, and you still owe him five hundred gold coins, so I advise you not to mention borrowing money in front of him." ”

"500 coins, he owes so much alone!, what am I going to do in the future!" Stannis was shocked, as if he could see that the interest on his debts was piling up like snowflakes.

Or run away in disguise, it's better to be a beggar than to be hacked to death by a creditor.

Looking at her fiancé in front of her, who was already blue-faced, Anne sighed, "Otherwise, I'll lend you a little relief first." ”

"Benefactor!" Stannis almost didn't kneel.

Anister shook her head with a smile, "Don't say that, brother, we will be a family when we get married in the future, how can the husband's debts be ignored as a wife." ”

What a perfect good wife and mother, Stannis began to wonder what kind of madness this kid was before, and he hadn't seen the eldest lady in front of him for a whole year.

"Lina," Anne commanded, turning her head, "bring me the emerald ivory box in my window dresser. ”

"Yes. The maid nodded and stepped back.

But Stannis on the side had already stretched out his ears, it seemed that his fiancée had more than one jewelry box, and she was really rich, and if there was a big tree like Anne in the future, it would be impossible to think about it.

"By the way, did that 'Knight Laureate' Beorandi say anything to you before he left?" Stannis asked, pretending not to care, with his arms folded.

Anne stuck her tongue out at him, "It's nothing, he just invited me to be a guest in the imperial capital next time." ”

He pouted and obviously didn't believe it, because if he were a woman, he would have fallen into bed long ago when he met such a perfect knight.

"What's the matter, jealous, Brother Stan?" Anne slyly tapped his lips with a finger.

Stannis stepped back with a red face, "Hello...... Long-winded. ”

At this time, Lina walked back with a heavy small suitcase.

Stannis couldn't wait to take the box, touched the exquisite pattern on it and couldn't help admiring, "It's really a handicraft, this box alone is worth a lot of money." ”

Anne stuck her tongue out at him, "It's worthless, and there are some gems on the outside of the ivory box." ”

Stanis smacked his tongue as he opened the lid of the box, revealing the inside of the box full of jewels.

He was a little shaken and couldn't open his eyes, he closed his eyes and softened and then opened them, still full of jewels.

Although he wanted to swallow these jewels in his stomach and take them away, Stannis's reason still told him not to lose his reserve in front of his fiancée, he held the box in his hand as if he was afraid of being dirty, and said in a tone like money and dung, "That's not good, accept your gift at will, won't my father-in-law blame you when he knows?"

"These are worthless gadgets, and even Lina has lost her identity if she brought them, so without these, Daddy won't find out. Anne patted him affectionately on the shoulder, signaling him to feel free to go to the flowers.

Stannis immediately tore off his warm disguise and tucked the jewelry box into his belt, no longer caring about his image.

"Anne, my dearest, I will definitely double your repayment when I have money in the future, waiting for me. "Even at this point, Stennis still has to pretend to be forced.

Anister hurriedly pursed her lips and waved her hand, she stared at Stannis with her pure and immaculate eyes, and said cautiously: "As long as you are willing to forgive me, I am willing to give everything for you." ”

A few hours later, even though it was early in the morning, Stannis was still in high spirits and strolling through the countryside on horseback.

In the distance, the dark shadow of his ugly castle towered over the sky.

If it was usual, he would definitely scold for this deformed building, but today even this ugly monster he couldn't help but kiss the two of them.

"Whitebeard~~"

This was the new nickname he gave to Lady Romong.

Although the castle was far away, his elongated smug voice still sounded from the silence, like a triumphant return.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, Your Excellency. The old man ran out of the castle in a panic, and his master had called him so that he had received the money.

Stennis triumphantly threw him the entire chest full of jewels, "Let these fill my vault." ”

Bachelor Romon opened the box, and was blinded by the blonde hair inside, "Your Excellency, where did you get so much money?" ”

"Don't ask, take these things and deal with the damned creditors. ”

"My lord, you mean to pay off with these jewels?"

Stannis snapped his fingers, "You're in charge." ”

And in his heart, he thought that so much jewelry must be more than enough to pay off the debt, how could there be a little left to make him chic, as for the matter of promising Anne to repay her money, Stannis almost laughed at the thought of the word 'repayment'.

After paying off the debts to the surrounding lords, the three families in the west who had a red face in diplomatic relations with them instantly turned into green faces.

It's just that......

A day later, Stennis sat on the floor with an empty jewelry box and cried.

"Old man, I'll let you pay back, don't be so honest, why do you take it all to pay back, it's gone, it's gone~~ Wow!"
