Chapter 532: Two Letters

Although Lorist was only the director of a small craft factory with some technical ambitions in his previous life, after all, after being nurtured by the economic tide reported by various Chinese media news, he knew very well that the four million goldfords that his family had lent to the Autonomous Council of the city of Morent were far from enough to set off a real wave of commercial economic development in the backwater city of Morente.

Just as Shi Fatzi said, the more than one million urban residents of the city of Morente are not without money, but because of the kind of planned distribution policy implemented by the business alliance in the city of Morente a few years ago, and the monopoly of the commercial market by various chambers of commerce forced the city residents of the city of Morent to lose confidence in the market and instead store their gold coins for emergency use in the future. What Lorist has to do is to work with the Autonomous Council of the City of Morent to regain confidence in the market among the millions of city dwellers, and to take out the gold instead of continuing to store it in some dark corner or buried underground.

Four million Kingford is a lot of money, but it doesn't really cost much. The two newly formed city defense corps, as well as the encouraging investment in those who set up workshops, as well as the expenses of maintaining the daily necessities of the more than one million urban residents of the twenty-four communities outside the city, and the expenses of the administrative office expenses of the Autonomous Council itself, it is estimated that there will not be much left in more than two months, which is why the Autonomous Council of the City of Morent will apply to Lorist for another loan of 10 million goldfords.

To be precise, there is no other tyrant in the current city of Morent who can get so many gold coins except for a big boss like Lorlist, and even the Temple of Serguin, which is famous for its loan sharking, cannot do anything. There was no shortage of talented people in the Autonomous Council, which made up the new power structure of the city of Moriente, and if it weren't all staunch liberals, Lorist would really want to poach some into his family.

For example, the well-informed black boss like Ledos, who was born in the community organization, as well as the representatives of those temples, and a few old scholars who are well-known in the outer city, are all old treacherous and slippery. While they hold power, they are willing to cooperate with the Norton family to form a free alliance to break free from the control of the Chamber of Commerce and break with the business alliance. But they also doubt the extent of the Norton family's support for the Liberal Alliance. As Lorist said, this loan application for 10 million Kingford was a test for the Norton family, so Lorist agreed without hesitation.

Lorist is acutely aware that the current boom in the commercial market and economic recovery in the city of Moriente is only caused by the Norton family's sale of goods and investment in livelihood industries to sustain the millions of city dwellers. Except for a small number of residents who have the spirit of investment adventure to take the first step, most of them are still holding their money bags and watching. What Lorist has to do now is to continue to invest and use the upcoming big purchase by private boat owners in the southern seas to show all the residents of Moriente a good business prospect, so that everyone can open their wallets and take the initiative to invest in business activities......

Lorist was telling Director Speer the truth, and he didn't care if the loan of 10 million Kingford could be repaid. As long as the city of Morient develops into a dumping ground and a transit point for the goods produced in the Norton family's domain, and uses private shipowners from the southern seas to transport goods to the south to compete for the market monopolized by the commercial alliances, then he is confident that the ten million he has invested now will be converted into twenty million or more Kingford in a year or two as a profit and return to the hands of the family.

On September 30, a convoy of convoys from the island of Hilovas arrived in the Zangjin Bay under the escort of the North Sea Fleet. Because of the arrival of Princess Celevia, Lorist had to go to the docks to meet her. Then he saw his wife, Celivia, and the Duchess of Windsor appear on the slipway together, and seemed to be very close to each other, and walked off the boat hand in hand......

What the hell is this? Lorist felt a little confused in the wind for a moment, and ignored the greetings and greetings of Shi Fat and Archduke Fausta, who had disembarked first, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to meet her, holding the right hand of Princess Celevia, who had just gotten off the stairs.

"Your Highness...... Cilivia hurriedly let go of her left hand that was holding with the Duchess of Windsor and made a court salute to Lorlist.

"Why did you come here quietly, and it's still a mess......" Lorist reproached in a low voice.

"I miss you......" Sirivia replied playfully, holding Lorlist's arm tightly and leaning against his side.

"You......" Lorist laughed helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the Duchess of Windsor next to her.

"Greetings to you, Your Royal Highness the Honorable Grand Duke of Norton. The Duchess of Windsor stepped back and performed the same half-squatting court salute, her posture of which was impeccable.

Lorist bowed slightly in return, nearly twenty years, time flies so fast, no one thought that it would be like this when they met again. Her eyes were still so big, but there was a hint of sophistication in her eyes, and her figure had become richer, and she had become a graceful and luxurious lady standing in front of Lorist at this moment, and she could no longer coincide with the elf-like girl dancing in the silver moonlight......

Time has passed, things are different from people, and everyone has changed. Lorist secretly sighed in his heart, smiled and said, "Welcome, noble and beautiful Duchess of Windsor, this should be your old place again." ”

"Yes, this beautiful city has left me with the most nostalgic people and events, and it is the most precious memory of my life. It's really nice to be back in this great city and see old friends from my youth. The Duchess of Windsor said, looking into Lorlist's eyes.

Lorist turned his face slightly, avoiding the Duchess of Windsor's fiery eyes: "Yes, then I wish you a wonderful leisure time here." By the way, I have ordered to go down and prepare a comfortable mansion for the Grand Duke and Madame, and I am sure that the Grand Duke and Madame must be a little tired after these days at sea, please get into the carriage, and the Grand Duke and the Duchess of Windsor, and Baron Schreider will accompany you to your lodgings. In addition, I will be holding a welcome banquet in two days, so I would like to invite you both to come. ”

"It is a great honor for us to accept His Highness's invitation. We will definitely arrive on time. Archduke Fausta stepped forward and said.

Loris nodded: "Goodbye then, I will look forward to your presence." ”

After the Grand Duke of Fausta and the Duchess of Windsor, accompanied by Fat Steward, got into the carriage and took the first step, the two lady-in-waiting, Fena Gary and Daisy, who were waiting next to them, came up to salute Lorlist.

"You guys, I don't know what to say, Celivia, what about Anderbell?"

Lorist is a little strange, why didn't Celivia come out with her baby son Anderbell this time, she usually watches it very closely.

"My dear, I didn't take Anderbell out, Maria went back to her family to give birth, and Anna also went back to Barony Dina to give birth, and Anderbell had to follow, and he had been sticking to his little brother all this time, and the great swordsman of Cindy also followed. I originally wanted to go to the imperial capital because I received a letter from Sissi. But I didn't expect that when we were still on the road, Sissi had already had an accident......" Princess Celevia's eyes turned red.

Anderbell was already more than five years old, and it was the time when he was active and active, and his little brother was Schroefink, the son of Lorist and his concubine Anna, who was three years older than Anderbel. Usually when Princess Celivia has something to do, she entrusts Anderbelle to Anna to take care of her, and the little brothers get along very well.

But who is Sissi, Lorist looked ignorant, and it took a long time to remember that Her Majesty the Queen who died of a violent illness was not called Sissi, and she seemed to be the cousin of Princess Celivia. It's just that what makes Lorist wonder is that the relationship between the two sisters is not very tense, I remember that when I went to the imperial capital, Princess Celevia slapped Sissi, who was the queen, and caused Lorist to take out fifty catapults to end the matter with the Second Highness.

"Well, isn't your relationship very bad?, why did you leave the family territory for her sake this time and go to the imperial capital?" Lorist asked in confusion.

Princess Celivia gave him a blank look: "No matter how bad it is, she is also my cousin." I received a distress letter from her, so I can't ignore it. Can...... But I didn't expect her to die like this...... She still has a baby in her belly......."

Princess Celivia began to burst into tears. Lorist hurriedly used all his tricks to get Cilivia into the carriage, and everything would have to wait until she returned to Bryn Heights.

At this moment, there were two letters on the desk in front of Lorlist, one was the distress letter that Princess Celivia had told her that Queen Sissi had sent to her, and the other was a reply from his cousin Chrisia. In the carriage, Princess Celivia told Lorist that she had received Queen Sissi's distress letter and was about to set off, when she happened to meet a messenger sent by Chrisia, so she took the letter and sent it to Lorlist.

Queen Sissi's distress letter mentions her affair with the Knights of Jersey and her pregnancy, which also has something to do with Lorlist. More than three years ago, Lorist was seriously injured in a battle with the Storm Sword Saint and was sent to the imperial capital for treatment, and the Great Swordsman sent by the Business Alliance attacked the palace thinking that Lorist was recuperating from his injuries in the palace. Queen Sissi wrote in the letter that it was that night, full of killings and fires, and dead people everywhere, and she was terrified, and it was the Knights of Visas who rescued her, and took her to hide in a remote utility room to avoid the attacks of the Assassins, and it was on that night that she fell in love with the Knights of Willus and gave herself to him......

It can be seen from the letter that Queen Sisi did not know the true identity of the Wickus Knight, but only thought that he was an ordinary guard knight, and when she was pregnant, she also longed to elope with the Witch Knight when she gave birth to a child, and find an unknown place where the two of them and the child formed a happy family and lived a happy and peaceful life. For this reason, she would rather abandon her status as a queen and only be a happy little woman who accompanies her lover.

Well, it was the hateful Lorist intrusion that shattered Queen Sissi's dreams. If the Norton family is not armed, then the Second Highness will have to fight in the Mana Hill Plain for at least more than a year. This way, Queen Sissi has plenty of time to give birth to a child and try to convince the Knights of Wickus to elope with her. The Knights of Wickus had refused Queen Sissi's request to elope before, but this time Queen Sisi believed that her lover would agree to fly away with her for the sake of the child, the result of their love.

As a result, Lorist led the family fleet to defeat the North Sea Fleet of the Commercial Alliance, landed in the Zangjin Bay, captured the city of Moldent, forced the forces of the Commercial Alliance to retreat to the province of Maweiforin, and ended the confrontation with the alliance of the nobles of the Antinac Kingdom led by His Royal Highness in the Falcan Hill Plain. With the Norton family armed in the Falcan Hill Plain, His Royal Highness led the army back to the imperial capital.

So Queen Sisi was about to sit on wax now, she knew very well what the return of the Second Highness meant to her, and at this time she was seven months pregnant, and she could not leave the palace, and could not withstand the bumps on the road. After thinking about it, Queen Sissi finally found that the only one who could save her from destruction was Princess Celivia, a cousin with whom she did not have a good relationship. The reason is very simple, Princess Celevia is the wife of Lorist, the sword saint of the town country, if she is willing to speak for herself, then whether it is the Second Highness or the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, they must look at Lorlist's face and treat this matter carefully, as long as it is delayed until the child is born, then Queen Sisi will die without complaint.

In the letter, Queen Sissi mainly expressed this meaning, let her give birth to the child to deal with her sin, the child is innocent, she no longer complains about the ruthlessness of the Knights of Wickus, but pins everything on the soon-to-be-born child, if she can take away her queen status and let her leave with the child, even living in the slums is heaven for her.

Queen Sissi delivered the distress letter to the messenger three days before Her Royal Highness arrived in the imperial capital, and the faithful messenger traveled non-stop for twenty-one days to reach the Northland Raging Bear City to deliver the letter to Princess Celivia. Princess Celivia was touched by the motherly love that filled the letter with Queen Sissi, and decided to set off for the imperial capital immediately to save Queen Sissi's life. Because she was in a hurry, Princess Celivia handed over her beloved son Anderbell to her godmother, the Great Swordsman of Cindy, and asked them to accompany Anna to the Barony of Dina.

In order to save time, Princess Celivia chose to board a ship from North Sea City to the island of Hilowas, and then disembark at the port of Qilin to go to the imperial capital, which would be at least seven days less than the route the messenger had run. What Princess Celivia didn't expect was that when she arrived on the island of Hilowas, she got the news that Queen Sisi had fallen ill and died. If it weren't for the presence of a Duchess of Windsor on the island, Princess Celivia would have been crying uncontrollably.

Now at Lorlist's side, Celivia relaxed her spirit and began to weep sadly over Queen Sissi's tragic experience, until she was tired of crying and was carried to bed by Lorist and fell asleep.

Lorist shook her head and sighed, this queen Sisi also fought for love and freedom once, but she was unlucky and ended miserably. And it seems that her love is also blind, and she doesn't even understand the true identity of the person she loves.

Unwrapping the letter written by her cousin Chrisia, Chrisia affirmed that the Wickus knight was the illegitimate son of the Second Highness. His mother died when He was young, and His Second Highness grew up under the care of one of his mother's little maids. Although she was his mother's little maid, she was ten years older than Her Second Highness. His Royal Highness had sex with this adoptive mother-like maid on his birthday at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to the child Wickus the following year.

The problem was that the little maid had been taken in as a concubine by his father, Prince Antinac, and after the incident, Prince Antinac was furious, gave the little maid to death, and gave the child to a silver knight to raise. This is also the main reason why His Royal Highness did not like his father when he grew up. Krya has followed His Royal Highness for nearly twenty years and has become his lover, she knows His Highness very well, and deep down in his heart, she has always been nostalgic for the dead little maid, which is one of the reasons why she finally left His Royal Highness and returned to the Northland.
