It was late at night, most of the people in the city of Saint-Caron had fallen asleep, the queen's bedchambers in the palace were still brightly lit, the elegant and luxurious rooms were lit with bright whale oil, and the queen Gladyse was reading by candlelight, reading the battle reports of the recent military operations of various countries.

"A bunch of rebels and thieves! no amount of money can fill their bellies!" Gladys slammed the table with her fist as she watched the nobles and barbarians on the border frowning and eating inside and out.

In his anger, there was a slight knock on the door outside. The Empress said angrily, "Shanny, didn't I say don't disturb my rest now?"

Shani, the head maid who had served the Empress for a long time outside the door, reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, there is an urgent report that has been delivered, and the rumor is that the report is very important. ”

Gladys pinched her swollen forehead with her hand and sighed, "Shanny, send me the report!"

Shani slowly opened the door, walked quickly to the Empress, placed the report on the Empress's table, bowed her head, and walked briskly out of the dormitory, closing the door.

Gladys opened the report and looked at it for a moment and frowned, it was written that in the vicinity of St. Caron, a purple light stretched across the sky and disappeared into the distance, and the nearby residents generally lost their sense of direction, and more or less forgot what happened at that time, which was the same as the location where the mysterious object appeared.

Again, the empress frowned and thought that since this kind of thing appeared a few years ago, the empire that could barely function suddenly began to crumble, and her husband died suddenly of a serious illness a few years ago, and her own children had not grown up, and the political and military pressure of the empire suddenly pressed on her.

She is just a lonely woman, and after years of strife, she has some gray hairs on her head.

Forcing herself not to think about these annoying things, Gladys picked up a quill pen and dipped it in ink, and gave an order on the paper that the Imperial Academy must speed up the ceremony.

A moment later, a secret order came out of the palace, and the heralds rode several fast horses and galloped to all corners of the empire.

The next morning, the weather was still good, and the street outside the house was already listening to the sound of servants washing.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably!" Carlos stretched as he looked out the window at the busy people.

Since Baez's unexpected death, Carlos has hired many people to visit the strange villa, which is often guarded by only a few old servants, so it is easy for those who are hired to get in, but they have all explored it several times, and they have not seen the ghost that Baez said, but found the place where Uncle Baez hid his treasure.

But Carlos remembered Baez's frightened look before, and he didn't look like a liar at all, and he still believed his good friend's words. Suffering from no clues, he had to give up for the time being, just keeping an eye on the villa to see if anything strange would happen to it.

"My jewelry is a bit old and uncomfortable to wear, shall we go to the jewelry store in the afternoon?" Charlotte said excitedly to her brother during the meal.

Carlos ate a piece of pudding without changing his face, and said indifferently, "Sister, you can go around with your good sister!

Charlotte feigned anger and said, "I finally asked you to go shopping, you still don't care!"

Carlos knew in his heart that his sister was looking at himself for the past few days for Baez's affairs, and wanted him to go out for a walk to relieve the depression in his heart.

Carlos put his hands together and begged for mercy: "Sister, I'm joking, my shoes are a little worn, so we just went together." ”

Looking at his smiling sister, Carlos suddenly felt a tightening of his wallet, and began to think about whether this month's expenses could be supported until the next month. Alas, it's not easy to support a family!," Carlos lamented.

Thanks to the research of the Imperial Academy, the design of the carriage has become more and more stable and comfortable, and even a new groom can drive the carriage well.

As the saying goes, the people outside are not happy, the inside is poor and luxurious, and the shops on the street are lined up, and there are a variety of clothes, jewelry, food, and weapons inside, which makes people dizzy, but the prices inside will also discourage many people.

With a creak, the carriage stopped and stopped in front of a shop full of gold jewels, which was all owned by the royal jewels and was home to the city's greatest treasures.

Carlos got out of the car first, then turned around and helped Charlotte out of the car very gentlemanly, Charlotte took his arm, and the two slowly walked into the store.

It just so happened that the two had just entered the store, and three young men approached in the distance, and it was none other than the Russell trio.

After separating from the cuckoo, Russell and his party hurried day and night in the direction guided by the mage, and finally passed through the vast forest, arrived at St. Caron without danger, and placed his soldiers.

As they progressed, Carter began to marvel at the luxury of the imperial capital, and Ball was even more unbearable, his mouth wide open and he could swallow an apple.

Russell had already experienced the baptism of the steel jungle, which was simply indifferent to him as a township-sized street, but when he saw the splendid jewelry store, Russell still couldn't resist the temptation, and his eyes were shining on the jewelry and he didn't move.

The hillbilly appearance of the three attracted the attention of passers-by, and from time to time there was a sneer, Russell was young after all, and his face was red, and he knew that this was not a place they could afford to spend, so he pulled Rakatbauer's clothes and wanted to leave this place.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the reactive Kartra dodged Russell and Bauer, dodging the impact, and Russell looked back to see that it was a lavishly decorated carriage that almost ran over them.

"Get out of here, poor ghost, you're blocking the young master's carriage!" a groom, with a stiff figure and a cowering face, sat in the carriage and shouted at them.

Carter was furious, and while trying to teach the evil servant a lesson, Russell glanced at him, signaling that this place should not be too public, Carter understood, and held back his anger.

The groom looked like a villain, but he was afraid of delaying his master's shopping, so he hurriedly ran to the door and opened it.

The gray-haired young man who stepped down from the carriage had a rebellious look in his eyes, and his unruly appearance completely covered his handsome appearance. He glanced at the three of them with disdain, and then walked into the store with his charming female companion.

The groom drove the carriage to the area where the unification was waiting, leaving the crowd watching the play. Bauer said angrily: "So many people are still in the crosshairs, and they are too blind to no one!"

Seeing this, the chubby uncle who looked kind on the side walked up to Russell and said, "Young man, you better hold back your anger, the person just now is not something you can afford to provoke." His grandfather was the powerful Duke Nicholas, and you can't afford to mess with him!"

Russell pretended to agree, but in fact took the two to the side to discuss countermeasures. Russell asked the two, "What plan do you have to teach them a lesson?"

Bauer thought for a moment, hammered his hand and said happily, "I have thought of a way to teach him a lesson." These people don't look at people properly because they have a little money, and what they value most is their own face. ”

Bauer's thought woke Russell up, and he clattered his plan, and although Russell felt that the plan was a bit immoral, it sounded very happy, so the three of them divided their work and took action.

Dawn Nikolai, who was shopping in the store, spent a lot of money and bought a large number of treasures to please his female companion, who was ecstatic and wanted to hold him and not let go.

Seeing this, the celebrities who shopped nearby showed envious eyes, and Dawn was also very complacent in his heart, enjoying the gaze of everyone.

Suddenly, Dawn noticed that a girl didn't care about his generous move, but followed the people on the side to choose ornaments with a smile and a smile. Dawn fixed his eyes, isn't this the brother and sister of the Hill family?

As the young master of the Nikolai family, how could he not know the grievances of the two families, he broke free from the arms of his female companion and strode to the side of the Hill siblings.

His voice caught Charlotte's attention, and when she turned her head to see that it was Dwayne, whom she hated, she couldn't help but look at him with a raised eyebrow.

Dawn saluted Charlotte and said in a loud voice, "Beautiful Miss Hill, you are so beautiful, you are worthy of all the jewelry in the store, and in view of your beauty, I can give you all the treasures you want." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Hill family never accepts handouts. Carlos, who was on the side, stood in front of Charlotte, and the two immediately looked at each other.

The two people in the shop gradually smelled of gunpowder, and Dawn sneered: "I think you are really stingy, Miss Charlotte has been choosing for so long, and you haven't bought her favorite ornaments, and I think that's how the Hill family works." ”

Carlos replied: "Our Hill family upholds the tradition of courtesy and frugality, and we don't want some nouveau riche family to show off to the royal family!"

Just as the arrow was about to fly, there was a commotion outside the house, and the store manager walked up to Dawn and said softly, "Your Excellency Dawn, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Dawn was puzzled, didn't he shirk all the visits today? Why did anyone still find this place? Maybe it was his grandfather who was looking for him.

Thinking of this, Dwayne glared at Carlos fiercely, turned and walked out of the store.

When he walked out, he found a sturdy but beautiful woman hiding her face and crying on the side of the road, and there were many people watching the theater outside.

As soon as the woman saw Dawn, she cried and said, "Young Master, why are you so ruthless to abandon me? I am pregnant with your child!" After speaking, she stroked Wei Long's belly with her hand.

Daun was shocked and froze in place.
