Archduke Ferdinand, the oldest of the thirteen duchies, and also a royal prince, the current emperor also calls him uncle, the old duke has seven sons, but six of them were killed in the war against the neighboring countries, and now only the youngest son Nome is left, the royal family is grateful for the sacrifice made by the Ferdinand family, so when Nome has not inherited the duke's position, he was crowned an earl.

And this Count Ferdinand is the master of the gang that wanted to kidnap Wiener in the first place, which shows that Count Ferdinand is an out-and-out swinger, but because of Duke Ferdinand's arrogance and protection, he is even more free to do what he wants.
Noam coveted Alice's beauty for more than a day and a half, and he had proposed marriage many times, but he was skillfully rejected by the old Duke of Fogg, but this time it was the Grand Duke Ferdinand himself, and it could be said that Alice was still young, or she was still studying, and now Alice has reached the age of twenty, and her studies have expired, and there is no reason to refuse, how can the old Duke of Ferg not be worried.
Seeing her father sigh, Alice had already guessed the reason for the matter, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, "Is it that old immortal persecuting you?" Old Duke Fogg couldn't help but nod helplessly, and then sighed again, Alice's tears suddenly fell uncontrollably.
It is said that they are both dukes, but the strength is far from the same, the Fogg family has been in business for generations, and there was no title, just because hundreds of years ago, when the Oma Empire was declining due to years of war, and in the end even the military salary was released, not to mention some necessary war preparations, at this difficult time, the Fogg family donated 100 million gold coins, which immediately solved the crisis of the empire, and also made this long war finally victorious, in view of the contribution made by the Fogg family, the royal family specially granted the Fogg family the title of duke, and allowed them to inherit from generation to generationγ
It can be said that the title of the Fogg family is donated with money, of course, it cannot be compared with the thirteen dukes awarded by those founding heroes, but after all, it is a duke's title, and it is still very status in the eyes of ordinary people.
Wiener saw Alice crying and running into the room, and the brief conversation just now had been heard by her, and she already knew a little, so she comforted her, "Alice, since you don't want to marry someone like that, why don't we run away, isn't there a place for us to live in such a big world?"
Hearing this, Alice's eyes suddenly swelled with new hope, but the flame of hope that had just been ignited was immediately extinguished by herself, and she shook her head silently, and then said, "Where can we escape? Even if we can escape, what about my father? With the power of Archduke Ferdinand, we can't fight them at all." β
"Is there no way at all?" Hearing Wiener's words, Alice's eyes suddenly showed a trace of murderous aura, and suddenly touched a dagger from the bedside, but the murderous aura turned into confusion and then despair, Wiener seemed to be able to feel the difficulty in Alice's heart at that moment, she wanted to kill Nanomi with a knife, so as to get rid of his entanglement forever, but when she thought of her old father, how could she do it? Suddenly Alice gritted her teeth and was about to cut her face back, and was snatched by Wiener," What are you going to do?"
"That's the damn look I like, and I'm going to destroy it to get rid of this damn trouble forever. Wiener threw the dagger aside and hurriedly persuaded her, "Alice, I don't think things have come to that point, let's think of a way, I believe there will always be a way to solve it." β
"What else can be done?" Once the courage she had just mustered was gone, all that was left was grief, and Alice put her arms around Wiener and wept bitterly.
The cry was like a spike that pierced Wiener's heart, it felt so uncomfortable, is this the family affection of human beings? Wiener has completely regarded Alice as his sister, how can he not be sad to see her so sad?
Suddenly a thought came to Wiener's mind, just now Alice wanted to self-destruct, in this case, why not let her do it, as long as a little venom can make people covered in red spots, but there is no pain, and this red spot will naturally subside after a while, thinking of this, I can't help but secretly stretch out my nails and gently cut Alice's arm.
When Alice had cried enough, she slowly got up from Wiener's shoulder, but Wiener pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Ah, Alice, you γγγ your faceγγγ"
Hearing this, Alice was immediately startled, although she wanted to self-destruct her appearance just now, but that was just an idea under despair, and now she has cried enough and the courage in her heart has almost gone with the tears, and she heard someone say that her face, and she couldn't help but start to get nervous, but this is also very normal, imagine that girl doesn't cherish her appearance.
Alice jumped out of bed, ran to the dresser in two steps, looked at the mirror and couldn't help exclaiming, "Ah, my face, how can this be?" I saw that the originally handsome face was covered with patches of red spots, indescribable horror, she couldn't help touching it with her hand, but she didn't feel anything, she rubbed it with her hand again, but the red spot slowly expanded with the rubbing, and finally crawled all over the face.
Alice exclaimed again, and then began to cry loudly, Wiener almost couldn't help but tell her the truth, but Alice cried and cried and suddenly burst into tears and laughed, "This must be God's will, even the God of Light can't bear to see me marry that shameless man, that's why I suddenly have a strange illness, so it's okay, I think I can finally get rid of that damn guy." β
Hearing this sentence in Wiener's heart, she couldn't help but move, it seems that it is easier to accept disfigurement than marrying someone she hates, is this an emotion? Suddenly she remembered a figure, that shadow like a snowy mountain gradually appeared in her heart, and then slowly became real, and finally it was difficult to eliminate.
Hearing that Alice had a strange disease, the old Duke of Fogg hurriedly came to visit, and couldn't help but be startled when he saw the red spots on his daughter's face, how could she suddenly become like this?
No one could give him an answer, so the old Duke of Fogg hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor, of course, not the kind of quack doctor in the market, but to bring a lot of money to invite the royal doctor to come and treat Alice.
In less than an hour, the imperial doctor had already entered the house, and when he saw Alice's condition, he couldn't help but sigh, "I think Ling Ai is probably γγγγ such a strange disease, I really can't do anything, and I hope the Duke will not be embarrassed." "Don't even turn around and leave.
Hearing that the imperial doctor was difficult to diagnose, Duke Fogg couldn't help but be more anxious, his body shook and almost fell to the ground, Wiener resisted the impulse and did not tell the truth immediately, but this made the old Duke Fogg collapse, and after a few days, he was already skinny.
The news soon spread, at first Noem didn't believe it, so he asked the imperial doctor to inquire in person, and only after asking did he believe that it was true, and couldn't help sighing, "How can a good beauty have such a strange disease, sooner or later, it must not be at this time, even if I am close to her for one night." β
The imperial doctor stopped in his ears and hated in his heart, where is this still what a person can say, it is not even as good as a beast, but after all, he is the son of the Grand Duke, the future heir of the principality, how dare he offend, just a few perfunctory words and got up to leave.
Nome walked back to the room sullenly, but a person walked up to him, "Young sir, what's wrong today, with an unhappy look?"
"Oh, Snow Fox, Thunder Marten, it turns out that you two are here, why don't you tell me? The little melancholy just now suddenly disappeared, and Snow Fox and Lei Mink also laughed along.
Soon a group of dusty women were already sitting on the earl's banquet, the room was suddenly filled with dissolute laughter, during the banquet the snow fox asked about this again, after listening to Noam's words, he couldn't help but groan slightly, the snow fox itself can drive away some toxins, plus in human society for many years, so he has an understanding of some herbs, and can't help but say through the wine, "Earl, I want to go to the earl's sweetheart to diagnose and treat her, maybe she can recover her face again." β
Hearing this, the earl immediately stopped his wine glass, pulled the woman on his body aside, and provoked the other party to snort, "Tell me quickly, how sure are you? You must know that it is a peerless beauty, if you can really restore her appearance, I will promise you any conditions." β
Snow Fox deliberately sold Guanzi, "Hey, the matter hasn't been done yet, and besides, what conditions are there for the relationship between you and me? Isn't your business my business?"
When Noam heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, jumped up from his chair, and pulled the snow fox to go out, "Let's go, we'll go and show her now." β
Snow Fox and Lei Mink couldn't help but smile, "I said little lord, you are too anxious, now that the wine and beauty are current, how can you let us be willing to leave?"
When Noam heard this, he slowly let go of his hand, then pointed at the two of them, and then laughed, put his arm around their shoulders, and returned to the room to continue drinking and having fun.
Early the next morning, Noam took Snow Fox to Fogg's house, saying that he had come to visit Alice, and the servant knew that this person could not be provoked, so he could only welcome them warmly into the mansion.
And Snow Fox's mind is somewhere else, since he entered the Duke's Palace, his eyes have not stopped turning, every part of this Duke's Mansion is so exquisite, revealing an indescribable nobility and elegance, and the furnishings in the house are even more magnificent, many of them are rare treasures, he can't help but feel jealous in his heart, and he can't help but secretly say" Damn, this Nome doesn't know how to go out of his shit luck to find such a girl, if it were me, even if it was an ugly bastard willing to marry me, I would be willing, what a fortune this is, even if it takes a few lifetimes, it can't be spent. β
After a brief conversation between the host and the guest, Noam offered to go and see Alice, and the old Duke Fogg knew in his heart that he was not dead and had to come and see for himself, so he did not stop him, and directly asked someone to take him to visit.
It just so happened that Wiener was not at home at this moment, the old Duchess Fogg's condition was getting worse and worse, and Wiener was also very anxious, she knew that the old duke was a fire that was difficult to dissolve, so it led to this, but now was not the time to tell the truth, and he could only use some medicine to alleviate his condition, so he had already gone out early in the morning to collect medicinal materials, which of course were agreed with Alice.
When Noam took Snow Fox to see Alice, he couldn't help but scream, and almost fell to the ground, but Snow Fox looked extremely calm, said a few words of comfort, and then left the Fogg house with Noem in his arms.
On the way, Snow Fox smiled coldly, "Congratulations, Earl." "Fart, you saw a ghost today, do you want to congratulate me?" "Hehe, don't worry, I can cure that young lady's illness and keep her back to her former appearance." "What you said is true?" "Of course, how could I lie to you about this?"
Noam suddenly smiled, "Haha, it's okay now, Lao Tzu can finally get this big beauty, I will arrange ten beauties for you tonight, and you will cure me of the beauty's illness tomorrow, I really can't wait for a day." β
Snow Fox smiled secretly and didn't say anything, but he already knew the general situation in his heart, because in Alice's room he smelled a trace of smell, it was the smell of a toxin, although he didn't know how Alice was poisoned, but he was sure that the matter of Alice's appearance must have something to do with it.
And the snow fox has already judged from the taste that this poison is a spider toxin, perhaps caused by being bitten by a poisonous spider inadvertently, this little poison is of course difficult for him, so he is so confident.
And at this moment, what he is thinking about is not to detoxify Alice, but it is another thing, Snow Fox was born with phantom eyes, can see the essence through all illusions, at the first sight of Alice, Snow Fox surged up in his heart, such a beautiful woman is the first time he has seen it, and at this moment he is thinking about how to get rid of this filthy earl and take this beauty and wealth for himself.
