Chapter Forty-Seven: It's All Routines

I've been doing three things all my life: eating, sleeping, and hunting 'sika deer'. β€”Victor Swan.

The most troublesome thing to do when a nobleman is undoubtedly to comb his hair, and combing his hair into a fixed shape is the first lesson of Richie and Monnie every morning after their hair grows.

Fortunately, now with Martha, the newly promoted seventh-order professional is a clever person, and he can take over this delicate work skillfully with just a little learning, which is much better than Olivia.

"Martha, can I ask you a question?" Sitting in front of a magic mirror as delicate as a beauty camera, Richie was a little bored.

"Yes!"

The young woman changed into a 'trendy' outfit designed for her by Monnie, an office secretary outfit, which made her figure appear more bumpy and convex, and the whole person became very intellectual in Richie's eyes.

"It turns out that you are so young and beautiful, why do you eat yourself so fat?"

Martha tilted her head, the corners of her mouth narrowed, and she looked very gentle: "Because my husband! used to be a vinegar jar, and he lived in the barracks for many years, so he was not very relieved." I had to be ugly to make him feel at ease......"

"You can see that you are very affectionate. ”

The young woman raised her head, her expression a little complicated, and muttered in remembrance: "Yes, I met him in the dispersion of the Church of the Ice Goddess, when I was on an assassination mission, and his mother was a believer...... I managed to get out after the assassination that day, but he found out the clue. He stopped me in the wasteland and told me that he had broken the laws of the Northlands and that he wanted to bring me to justice. ”

"And then you fell in love?"

A rare touch of shyness appeared on Martha's face, and an intoxicating flush covered the entire white neck: "What's the matter, I beat him up, if it weren't for the fact that he was a member of the Ryoma Knights, I might have killed him at that time." ”

Monnie didn't know when she appeared, and she liked to hear this kind of gossip the most: "And then?"

"I left after defeating him, I thought I would never see each other again in this life, but who knew that creation would make people. Half a year later, I came to Stormwind again on a mission, and the guy happened to be on patrol. ”

"It's so romantic!" said Monnie, clasping her heart in her hands.

The guy beckoned his comrades to chase me for a long time, including Devink, until I was wounded and exhausted, and they caught me before the judge. ”

"This is the legendary 'Note Orphan', do you like this kind of person?"

Martha was caught in her own world, as if she hadn't heard Monnie's complaint: "The judge released me on the grounds of insufficient evidence." I wanted to leave, but the arrow wound was so severe that I fainted. By the time I woke up, I was in Rick's bed. ”

"Wow...... He actually took advantage of the danger of others? You didn't cut him with one slash?"

"Where do you think of it? Rick was a man of integrity, and he just felt that it was not chivalrous to hurt me and leave me behind, so he took me back to his lodgings to recuperate. ”

"So you're down?"

"Hmm. After I recovered from my injuries, we got married, and we didn't ...... until last month."

Monnie had a sneer on her face: "The old lady was also so innocently fooled back then. Now you will remember that this is a routine! first make you think that the other person is very honest, and then when you let down your guard and accept him, he will become very dishonest. ”

Ahem...... The old things of the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, how embarrassing it is to mention.

Richie knew that if he continued to stay, more unpleasant words would follow, so he went to the courtyard to breathe, just in time to meet an angry Victor.

"What's wrong?"

"It just so happens that you're here, it's about you and Monnie. ”

"Oh, the awesome guy who was beaten away last time 'called and shook people'?"

"You said the Tower of the Sage? It's the old immortal of the Emperor of Auckland!"

is the nominal top boss, and there is no awe at all when he speaks, which shows that Victor is really angry at this time.

"What's wrong with the old guy? I remember last time you said that our family hasn't paid taxes for hundreds of years. Is someone collecting a debt?"

"How can you say that? Our Swan family has guarded the frontier for the empire for generations, has always firmly controlled this barren land, and has never taken a penny of the empire's military expenses, which is already very difficult, where is the money to pay tribute?"

"Are you proficient in going to the Imperial House of Lords to speak this way? ”

Victor touched his nose in embarrassment: "It's smooth." But you have to remember that in the future if you are in charge. We must not set this precedent, and if you pay taxes once, you will have a second ......"

"Children and grandchildren have to be called ministers and tributes, okay, I understand! ”

The old guy is obviously in the prime of life, and according to the lifespan of a legendary mage, he can live for hundreds of years. Every time I preach, I make it seem as if I died too late, and the state won't let me dig graves.

"You both's earldom is stuck. Originally, we lived behind closed doors, and we didn't lack the imperial stamp. But I'm afraid that when you inherit my position in the future, the royal family will use this handle to declare that your throne is illegal, in case our family's strength weakens at that time, there may be a catastrophe of overturn. ”

Involving tens of millions of people, Rich also understood the seriousness of the matter: "What do you want us to do?"

"The Emperor said that he had heard rumors that the new heir of the Swan family was very good, and wanted you to go to the imperial capital to show him. The House of Lords also has rumors that you are not my own child, and asks you and Monnie to go to the imperial capital to be tested by blood. ”

"Are you going to use the two of us as protons?!"

This routine seems to have been heard somewhere, Richie reviewed the history and found that the profession of 'proton' is the same as that of a librarian, it is a place where talents are produced, Qi Gongzi Xiaobai, Ying Zheng, and Yan Taizi Dan...... Each of them is a prominent person.

"Hahahaha......" Victor laughed and always had a taste of Maori Kogoro being possessed by Erha: "The old emperor is almost old and confused." I've already figured out his little trick. So I contacted a few of our allies in advance to apply for the canonization of an heir. You're not the only one going to the imperial capital this time. So you can rest assured, he will definitely eat and drink well and serve you, and he will not dare to do anything to you. What's more, if something happens to you, the first one to go crazy will definitely be Kachira. ”

"Isn't this a thing? Since you don't dare to do anything to me, why should you let me run away from afar? Don't people here know that it is a virtue not to cause trouble to others?"

"Hmph, what else can you do? Of course, I'm interceding for the 'sika deer' in our east. That restless fellow of the Earl of Tyre thinks I'll not be able to find out if I hire an orc to assassinate you? ”

"So, after I go, the benefits can't be easily taken for nothing, right?

Victor gave a thumbs up: "Correct solution, I don't worry about you doing things!"

It's all a routine!
