Chapter 182: Contract

Violet Manor. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Sophia, who looked upstairs but didn't see Elizabeth, panicked instantly, but fortunately, she hurried upstairs and met Elizabeth who came out of the room, she breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that her violet was actually not as safe as it seemed in this situation, and after thinking about it, after asking Elizabeth's opinion, she still let Elizabeth stay with her and go back to the living room with her. In between, as she descended the stairs, Elizabeth saw for the first time the terrible battle on the grass outside the manor, and despite the chaos there, she must have seen Augustus covered in blood, which could be easily felt by Sophia holding Elizabeth's hand, and her trembling easily revealed all her despair.

Sophia knew she couldn't afford to delay like this any longer.

Otherwise Augustus would really have died.

She did have the power in her hands that might be able to change the tide of the battle outside, but she had realized that she couldn't use her last of her power casually, because Frodo, she knew that he knew that until he achieved the result he wanted, he would definitely do his best to stop her from any arrangements to help Augustus, which meant that she didn't really have any other choice.

She could only surrender.

They returned to the living room and walked over to Nicholas, Sophia's personal butler, and looked at Nicholas, who was no longer smiling, and Sophia smiled apologetically.

Once she chooses to surrender, what will happen to Nicholas, who caused the family attack because of her?

Nicholas sighed deeply and wanted to speak, but after all, he didn't speak, just smiled bitterly, and he shook his head slowly.

I don't know if he wants to dissuade His Royal Highness the Princess, or if he doesn't have to apologize.

Sophia did not hesitate any longer, she walked straight to the table with the parchment scroll, looked at Frodo with a blank face, completely ignoring the eager eyes of the rest of Constantine, she resolutely picked up the quill, signed her name casually, and then handed the parchment scroll to Frodo, she did not hide her hatred, and said: "I promise your conditions, but Frodo, I hope you can fulfill your promise, if you really still have Constantine's blood in your veins." ”

Frodo's expression was the same, there was nothing to celebrate, even if Sophia's tenacity to the present was a bit unexpected to him, but so what, the result is the most important thing, isn't it?

He took the parchment scroll, and the Constantine family's Ward, Marn and others finally showed their smugness unscrupulously, but Frodo did not delay, and quickly fulfilled his promise and said to Turing, the heir beside him: "Since your sister has made a decision, of course we should show our sincerity, inform your people, and let the Stanford gang be quiet, after all, it is the coming-of-age ceremony of the little princess of Constantine, this is Constantine's violet manor, and they must be in awe." ”

"Do as you command, my father. ”

Turing smiled, but after saying this, he didn't make the next move, but quietly narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "However, because the war scene between the Golden Hibiscus Heavy Armored Knights and the knights of Stanford outside the manor is too chaotic, I am worried that my people staying outside will cause misunderstanding, and I have already informed them to go back first, and then let them come over at this time, I am afraid that it will take time, I don't know if that humble sinner can wait until that time?" He smiled again, showing his white teeth, and looked at Augustus, who was rolling on the ground again, and said cruelly: "If you want to blame, you can only blame her, why waste time with those senseless struggles!"

Frodo frowned, as if Turing's words had nothing to do with him, and he knew absolutely nothing.

Prince Columbia and Austin, who had always stood aside and did not intervene, sighed secretly, Sophia was smart enough, but she was still too immature after all, how could she understand all the dirty methods between the nobles?

They set their eyes on Sophia, and even Prince Columbia was already thinking about whether it was necessary for him to intervene in this matter in order to keep Sophia from being too sad and desperate?

As for the sinner, as for the hatred between Stanford and him, as long as he dies in the end?

Is it hard?

He was measuring, but suddenly noticed that Sophia was not desperate as they imagined, but seemed to have long expected Frodo's dirt and despicability, she just sneered, gritted her teeth and said: "You don't need your help, you just need to watch quietly, I can maintain the dignity of Violet Manor!"

It's amazing.

Prince Colum's eyes lit up slightly, could it be that Sophia had other arrangements?

The answer is undoubtedly yes.

The reason why she didn't use her last strength to resist and chose to sign the parchment scroll, Sophia naturally just hoped that Frodo would not obstruct her, as for her signing, Frodo would help Augustus, she really didn't have such an idea at all, and she really wouldn't be so naïve.

According to her train of thought, she signed a contract, at least enough in exchange for Frodo's unobstruction, no matter what, as the first heir to the throne of Constantine, Frodo should not be shameless to that extent, right?

Thinking about it, she looked at Nicholas, her personal butler.

But she clearly underestimated Frodo.

Without waiting for her to instruct Nicholas, Turing, who was standing next to Frodo, was the first to speak, with an indescribably relaxed expression: "Are you waiting for De Gea? Oh yes, it's the pair of guards that your grandfather gave you, my personal advice is, don't count on them, you know, tonight is your coming-of-age ceremony, given how much grandfather likes you, he will definitely come, since it's so chaotic outside, of course De Gea and they should wait for grandfather's carriage on the periphery- Guess what, I told De Gea that my grandfather told him to wait outside, so would he disobey his grandfather's orders?"

Sophia's lips suddenly lost a trace of blood.

That was indeed her last strength, and it was also the last power that the old duke gave her personally.

Of course, she knew at this time that since Turing said so, De Gea must have left the manor, after all, the people given to her by the old duchess were too short for her to take over, and it was impossible for her to achieve complete control.

She bit her lip and suddenly turned her head to look at Turing, at Frodo, and even the corners of her lips were covered with blood, and she didn't notice it at all.

It was completely dark in front of me.

In desperation, Sophia didn't even hear a deep sigh suddenly sound in the living room.

......

"Don't be too angry, you're still young after all, it's great to be able to do this, and besides, it's not the first day you've met Frodo like this. ”

A gentle and magnetic voice sounded suddenly, and the next moment, including Frodo, Prince Columbia, Austin and others, all turned to look at the door of the living room for the first time.

Mass.

No one knew how he had quietly appeared here, not even the nobles who were standing in the hallway in front of the living room door and watching the slaughter on the grass did not notice his arrival, he seemed to have appeared there out of thin air, more like he seemed to have been there watching all this a long time ago, watching it all in silence.

Sophia's eyes widened suddenly, and she let go of Elizabeth's hand, and she walked to Mass in a few unladylike steps, and hugged his arm directly, as if to grasp all her hopes, and tears could not help but burst out of her eyes at once.

She wept anxiously and joyfully, pointing to Augustus, who had no strength to get up on the grass, and she choked up incoherently: "Mass, Mass, save him, don't let him die, he can't die, you save him quickly!"

Mass sighed softly.

Full of distress, he stroked Sophia's long golden hair, he didn't speak, but took Sophia's hand and walked into the living room.

Prince Columne stood up and saluted him.

Austin, as well as everyone in Constantine in the drawing-room, saluted him respectfully.

Mass, still dressed in black robes, drew a cross gesture on his chest, and returned the salute earnestly.

Only Frodo remained in place, indifferent.

Mass still ignored Sophia's anxiety, he suddenly smiled at Frodo, and said, "It's also strange, every time I see you, I have a feeling of getting to know you again." ”

Frodo, who had no need to be too afraid of Mass, smiled as if he had regained his poetic temperament, and he smiled: "If this is your compliment, I will accept it, but if it is your mockery in disguise, then I can only assume that I have not heard it." ”

Mass was stunned, then laughed even more happily, and he said very casually: "By the way, in the church election hall, I waited for a long time, and still didn't wait for the person you arranged to come out and obstruct my campaign, why is this?"

"There's no why, it's just that I suddenly realized why I bothered to do anything if no one could stop you from wearing the red robe? He raised the parchment scroll signed by Sophia in his hand, still smiling.

Mass looked at him playfully for a moment, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Frodo, you really haven't grown as always, do you really think it's enough to force Sophia to sign those things? I don't even need to look at it, I know that your condition is nothing more than to let Sophia leave the imperial capital and give up the identity of the first heir, but haven't you thought about it, maybe this is the result I really want? You must know that in the fief of Constantine, Sophia is the veritable Princess of Constantine. ”

Frodo did not speak again, although he was still smiling, but his eyes were gradually showing caution and gloom.

Mass obviously wanted to say something, but Sophia wouldn't let him waste any more time.

She interrupted him viciously from behind him.

So Mass had no choice but to turn around.

He looked at Sophia's tear-filled eyes, rubbed his forehead with a little headache, and smiled bitterly.

After a long time, when Sophia's hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, he sighed, "I'm sorry......"

But after only saying 4 words, he couldn't say it anymore, because it was these 4 words that made Sophia move away from him step by step like a puppet...... It was as if she had completely lost her godfather—the man she believed and believed in the world, and relied on and relied on the most.

"You ......" Sophia still couldn't say a word.

Mass couldn't bear to look her in the eye anymore.

Turning his head, he accidentally saw Elizabeth standing quietly over there.

He had actually seen Elizabeth at Noy's tavern called 'Rockefeller's Mosquito,' where she had gone with her brother Augustus, and of course it didn't matter, but what mattered was why she was so quiet at this time? Compared to Sophia's despair, she stood there like a quiet little white flower.

Doesn't she care about her brother Augustus?

Mass was confused, but didn't think much about it, he took a deep breath, and finally said, "I'm sorry Sophia, but I can't meddle in his affairs, his affairs are far more complicated than you think." ”

You can't tell Sophia that the reason why Augustus is in such a situation is itself the arrangement of Queen Diana, the chief secretary of state of the empire, right?

He smiled reluctantly, trying to say something, but as soon as he took a step towards Sophia, Sophia took a step back as if frightened, and even if Elizabeth hadn't helped her, she almost fell to the ground.

"It's his choice, it's the path he's going to take......"

Mass struggled to try to persuade Sophia, who did make him feel pity, but helpless.

However.

He had just finished his first sentence when he suddenly stopped.

Then, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he suddenly looked at the edge of the grass outside the living room.

There was deep wariness in his eyes.

It was only at this time that the people in the living room finally noticed the strange silence outside the living room—the sound of fighting had disappeared, and the nobles who stood in the corridor and watched the grass had no longer gloating, as if they had seen a ghost, and there was a dead silence.

This night, the entire epic continent, will be forever forgotten. (To be continued.) )
