Chapter 11: Exploitation

The afternoon sun shines on the white walls of Rose Manor, making this delicate and secluded manor house sparkle as if it were plated with a layer of gold leaf.

If the majestic Black Castle is like a giant beast, then this elegant and beautiful manor is the brain of the giant beast.

Victor straightened his collar and, led by his attendants, walked into the manor's flower room. The owner of the estate, Countess Silvia, was waiting for him there.

Although the flower room of the Rose Manor is not large, it is made of natural crystal. Bright sunlight shines through the crystal dome and shines directly through the flower room. There is a copper pipe around the crystal wall, and from time to time warm gas erupts from the small eyes distributed on the copper pipe, making the whole flower room warm like spring.

The soft sunlight and warm environment make the flower room full of flowers that should have fallen in the moon of water.

In the crystal flower room, the vitality of flowers and green grass is in stark contrast to the bleak scene of withering vegetation outside the crystal wall. This huge contrast gives Victor a sense of time and space confusion.

However, it was the Countess who was arranging flowers in the flower room who really caught Victor's attention.

The Countess wore a snow-white tunic tulle dress, with a slender waist and a straight shoulder, and her fair and slender hands held a freshly cut red rose, but she did not insert the flower branch into the half-finished blue.

At this time, Sylvia's eyes are bright and focused, her white and high forehead, straight and beautiful nose bridge and slightly tightened pretty red lips make her reveal a demure and beautiful and confident and intelligent temperament, even if she is just standing in the corner of the flower room, it makes people feel that she is the center of the flower room.

Under Victor's silent gaze, Sylvia inserted the rose in her hand into the indigo.

She picked up the basket and looked left and right for a moment, a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth. This pure smile was completely different from Victor's impression of a smoky, debauched countess, which made Victor dazed for a while.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of this flower basket I have inserted?" Sylvia took the silk scarf handed by the maid and gently wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, but she did not see the guest's response, and she turned her head to look at Victor in amazement.

Seeing Victor looking at her intently, Sylvia couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the countess's slightly smug laughter, Victor suddenly blushed and stepped forward to give the countess a noble salute. "Victor, I've seen the Countess. ”

"You may be seated. Sylvia motioned for the maid to move the basket down, walked over to a wicker chair and sat down, and invited Victor to sit on one of the wicker chairs across from her.

"Your Excellency, have you come to me today for something?" asked Sylvia in a coquettish voice to Victor.

"Countess, I have come to bid you farewell, and I plan to lead my servants and the people to the territory in the next two days. Victor said respectfully to Sylvia.

"Oh. Sylvia casually picked up a cup of honey pine nut tea from the round table and took a sip gently.

Seeing that Sylvia didn't say anything, Victor gritted his teeth and continued: "Countess, you know that I have just changed my territory, and according to the regulations of the kingdom's development of territories, I ask Blackcastle to send knights to my territory to eliminate monsters and bandits. ”

As the governor of the Pioneer Territory, the Earl of York is obliged to regularly send troops to patrol the entire Pioneer Territory and assist the local lords in eliminating monsters and bandits, so as to ensure the safety of the entire Pioneer Territory.

"Then you should go and talk to my husband instead of coming to me. Sylvia's fair, slender fingers gently rubbed the silver teacup and said playfully to Victor.

"Countess, Lord Governor of York seems to be obsessed with the 50 purple gold coins, so I can only come to you to help me. Victor couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Yes, since our York family left the Eastern Territory, we have lost a lot of gold, and we have invested a huge amount of money in the construction of the Black Castle in the Centaur Hills, and the last bit of money has been extorted by you, hum!" Sylvia glanced at Victor with resentment.

Hearing this, Victor couldn't help but want to roll his eyes.

The cost of this crystal flower house alone will probably not be less than 100,000 gold soles, which is more than enough to build a baron's castle.

"Countess, I am willing to offer a sum of money to the Governor as a fee for the knight's promotion. "Victor was ready to be slaughtered by the Countess before he came.

"Oh, how much are you going to give?" said Sylvia, smiling at Victor with a light in her eyes.

Just as Victor was about to answer the Countess, he felt something rubbing his calf a few times, and when he looked up, he saw the Countess smiling at the corners of her mouth, looking at him coquettishly. Victor couldn't help but think of that beautiful night two days ago, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and quietly stretched out his hand, and caught the naughty little feet that teased him in a few rounds, and the delicate and silky touch made Victor couldn't help but hold the countess's delicate and charming jade feet in the palm of his hand and gently knead them.

Two red clouds flew up Sylvia's white jade cheeks, and her watery eyes glanced at Victor with a smile, as if resenting his presumptuousness, and encouraging his boldness, but he did not take back the jade feet that had fallen into the clutches of the devil.

"Madame thinks how much should I give?" asked Victor softly to Sylvia.

"10,000 Kinsor, I'll have the Bruce Knight escort you to your new territory with four knight squires and a team of cavalry, and rid the territory of monsters and bandits, what do you think?" Sylvia muttered, Victor's hands becoming more and more dishonest, and even using the techniques taught by the court ladies almost made her moan.

"Absolutely, but I have a small request, asking Madame for permission. Victor smiled at Sylvia.

After watching the young baron gradually disappear from her field of vision under the guidance of the attendants through the crystal wall, Sylvia asked the old butler on the side coldly, "Can you find out who spread the news that Baron Victor was attacked by bandits among the homeless people?"

"Master, it has been found out, and it was spread by the steward of Baron Verpin's house. The old butler replied respectfully.

"Verpin, the cousins of Queen Catherine's family, it seems that they are still not giving up, thinking that by blocking the progress of the little baron's recruitment of the lords, they will be able to stall for time so that the princes' party can overturn our exchange agreement. Unfortunately, they, like me, didn't expect that the little baron, who was supposed to be like a vase, was not a simple character. Sylvia sneered.

"Go get Bruce over. ”

"Yes, master. The old butler bowed and withdrew.

Thinking of Victor's little request before leaving, Sylvia muttered to herself: "Victor, I'm really looking forward to your performance more and more, but what kind of expression will you have on your face when you see the castle I have prepared for you?"
