44 Beauty and the Horse

"The three-day auction is conservatively estimated to earn 2,000 gold. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Why do you want so much money?" asked Elaine persistently.

"Use it as collateral to issue new currency. Frederick told the truth.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" said Elaine, looking at him in the rain. The "rustling" rain on the umbrella surface became thicker and thicker, and for the first time, Elaine lost her casual composure, noble and elegant intimacy, but earnestly looked at Frederick's fluttering eyes, and muttered intently: "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." What kind of ideal state do you establish, and all the other states follow your example, what should we do? The vassal states are all autonomous like you, what about the central bank and the parliament? What about the emperor?"

Frederick looked at her in astonishment, only to hold on to the umbrella so hard that he forgot to answer.

"You go your way, but you leave others with no way. Are you really not afraid of death?" Elaine tilted her head to look at him, and after the last sentence was sadly finished, she had already loosened his collar softly, and pushed him hard, pushing him to stagger away, but Elaine herself stood in the rain, turned and walked towards the gate of the manor.

Lily shouted, hurriedly opened her umbrella, and hurried to chase Elaine and send her to the carriage.

"What's wrong with you?" exclaimed Frederick, only to see a Habss Central Bank cheque coming out of his shirt pocket, apparently from which Elaine had just stuffed it in his arms.

"Take this check, come to the central bank to borrow money, and I will try to approve your loan. No matter how big the amount. Ai Lian left tiredly, and Sha Tian's lazy voice floated back: "If you are not afraid of death, just go to the 'Water City' to borrow money." You choose to oppose the central bank, and I have nothing to say. ”

"You!" Frederick finally understood what Elaine was talking about, clutched the wet bill, and looked up and asked loudly, "Who are you? Are you royal?"

Before he could finish asking, Philia had already led the dragoons to chase Elaine in a menacing manner. She brushed shoulders with Frederick with her sword, and without squinting, she prompted, "The question is not who she is. The question is what do you want to do!" After saying this, she took the reins handed by the dragoon, turned over in the rain, and looked at Frederick from afar, with mixed feelings in her heart - obviously admiring his cleverness, but at this time she hated him for being sluggish, and her anger was burning with her distress for Elaine, and finally she couldn't help but look at Frederick, and gritted her teeth on the reins to remind him: "Is it so difficult to continue to be a royalist?

After saying that, the rain was heavier, and Filia's shirt was tightly glued to her body, rubbing her full and plump breasts. Warm burgundy hair scattered on her back and ears, dripping with the fierce rain. She didn't care, she turned her horse, and with a pleasant "ride", she led two teams of dragoons to form a formation and escorted the carriage away.

Lily took her umbrella and got into the carriage, and saw Elaine drenched wet, sitting in the corner of the carriage with her knees dripping water, so distressed that she couldn't breathe, and quickly took her sleeve to wipe Elaine's hands and hair, while asking in confusion and annoyance, "What's wrong with you? Why are you not happy?"

"Lily, have you ever raised birds?" asked Elaine earnestly.

"Huh?" Lily was stunned.

"When I was a hostage in the Ten Kingdoms of Elves, I rescued a wounded bird from a tree. I like it so much that I don't allow the wild cat to come into my house, feed it carefully, bandage him, and want it to get better as soon as possible. I thought it knew my good, I thought it would play with me. But when it was able to move, its only purpose was to escape. One day at last it escaped to the second-floor windowsill, and fluttered along the perilous eaves, and I watched it in fear, too frightened to squeak, lest I scare it out and fall to its death. ”

"And then?" asked Lily, worried.

It fluttered stubbornly, then stumbled and fell off the eaves of the window, and fell to its death under the bushes. Elaine took off her dress in annoyance, threw the wet clothes into a pile, curled up into the silk quilt ****, let Lily gently wipe her wet purple hair, and then looked at the virtuous Lily seriously, clutched the silk and cursed: "I'm so sad, Lily, I'm like dragging a fierce horse, not only can't pull it, but is dragged by the horse." I don't care, I'm not going to look for Frederick anymore. I don't go to him again unless he comes to me with a check. ”

"Good, good. I'll go back to Wiener another day. Lily carefully coaxed the Empress. The first time she saw Elena struggling like this, she didn't think about anything in distress, but obeyed wholeheartedly: "No matter what kind of bird, we'll go home another day." ”

Frederick walked back to the mansion with an umbrella, and Ophelia walked over silently, pulling Frederick's sleeve softly with her little hand: "Brother, who is that woman?"

"Who is she?" Frederick frowned and looked at the genuine central bank bill in his hand, gently stroking the delicate and convex steam steel seal on the face of the ticket, puzzled and curious, and excited. After a long time of coming back to his senses, he glanced at his sister who was staring at him, and realized that Ophelia was waiting for his answer, so he quickly cheered up and coaxed: "She is a chaebol sent by the central bank to inspect the branches - I don't know which family it is, there are too many nobles in Wiener, I can't remember." Then he picked up Ophelia's blue hair and teased, "Have you learned a good job tonight?"

Ophelia was easily misled, clapped her hands and laughed: "I have learned, I have learned! My brother is so tired that he can always save the day at the last moment! I didn't expect that "Gypsy Girl" to be painted by Rembrandt!"

"What Rembrandt. Frederick took his sister back, tilted his head and bit her ear and muttered, "I painted it in Wiener." I copied the Gypsy Girl on the canvas that I had squandered on the canvas I had used - they could see that the painting was not by Caravaggio, but they could not tell whether it was genuine Rembrandt, and it was only because of my grandfather's reputation and misled by the bidding of Elaine that they believed in the painting. ”

"Elaine. Ophelia's train of thought jumped back to the woman, and she raised her index finger and said, "So the girl's name is Elaine?"

"Hmm. Frederick realized something was wrong. Ophelia seemed to be getting a little dangerous.

"And does my brother like Elaine?" Ophelia took Frederick's arm around and looked up at his side face.

"In fact, I decided to find out which of Wiener's families she belonged to, and then seriously consider her suggestion......" Frederick muttered.

"But in my brother's heart, Ophelia is number one, isn't it?" Ophelia stopped walking, she pursed her lips in displeasure, and shook Frederick's arm, "Isn't it?

Frederick was almost removed from her shoulder joint, and quickly reached out to press the back of her hand, nodding constantly: "Yes, yes, the countess can audition, but Ophelia is unique." Don't shake it, your arms are almost unconscious. ”

"Well, Brother Frederick is also the only one. No one can replace it. Ophelia grabbed his sleeves with both hands, tiptoed her eyes and gave her cherry lips, touched him with a little water, said "good night" steadily, and ran to remove her makeup.
