Except for Nock and Charlotte,

No one knew what the two of them said.

All the fishmen knew was that their new king had pressed the human prisoner into the water and beaten him with a stick.

beat her to tears.

Later, when he found it unpleasant, the king took the prisoner to the plank road again.

Hit hard.

The woman's voice begging for mercy echoed throughout the village,

scared a lot of little fishmen into tears.

Until dawn the next day,

The secret sentry on duty found out,

Human prisoners who were tortured to the point of not being human, tied with ropes, tied their hands and hung in water prisons.

Unconscious. (Too sleepy, asleep.) ）

Nock was lying in the dark-skinned house, asleep.

He came almost at dawn,

directly woke up the black-skinned father and son.

Heipi simply got up and led the people to continue building the raft.

Yes, the black skin is in charge of building the raft,

Blueskin is tasked with learning from Nock how he trains the fishmen to swim and charge.

By the way, manage the tribe and spy on the humans outside.

In general, today's fish-man tribes,

Built like an iron bucket by Nock.

It's like last night's Luke and Charlotte invasion,

In fact, they were discovered as soon as they climbed over the wall.

Because the houses in Fish-Man Village are all on the water.

Two people landing on the ground is equivalent to falling into the water.

Although the water is only a little shallow, it does not even submerge the surface of the feet.

However, this is enough for the fish-man hidden in the water.

The slightest ripple can be perceived by them.

Therefore, Nock really didn't worry about the group of guys out there making a wave.

Unless Sister Sophia helps them, they won't even be poisoned!

Nock sleeps peacefully in the fish-man village,

didn't know that there were people outside who couldn't sleep all night and stayed up until dawn.

Victor and Freya both walked around their respective houses with black faces.

Von Decker was delighted to see Lucian return last night,

But when I learned that Lucian was blocked out of the door and didn't hear any news,

The face is stinky.

For this, he also complained a few words about Lucian, saying that he was useless.

But when he found that Victor, who used to like to sleep until sunset, walked up and down the river beach with dark circles under his eyes.

When Freya also stood at the door of the house and kept looking at the gate of the fish-man village,

He suddenly felt that even if Lucian didn't find out the news,

It's good to have a safe return.

At least, didn't bother him, did he?

As for why he knew something was wrong,

That's because of the worry on Victor and Freya's faces, which can't be concealed at all from von Decker, who is full of observation skills.

"Good morning, Your Excellency. What's wrong with you, it looks like you didn't sleep well last night.

By the way, what about Butler Luke? Why are you all up this master,

He hadn't gotten up yet.

That's a bit of a remiss of duty. ”

Von Decker was a little smug and couldn't help but sneer at Victor.

Who made everyone fall into trouble, this Victor still has nothing to do along the way,

Make trouble for everyone.

Von Decker was a little unaccustomed to him.

It's just that at that time we had to be united,

Plus he's a businessman and doesn't want to mess with Victor.

But now that Victor is in trouble, their days are settled.

As long as you wait for rescue, you'll basically be fine.

Anyway, he is a member of the Ventures Chamber of Commerce, and he will not stay in the royal capital for long.

He is also not afraid of offending the Victor family.

As for Freya, von Deke was not interested in finding trouble with a woman,

What's more, this woman was very gloomy along the way.

At first glance, she is a scheming woman,

Von Decker didn't want to cause such trouble.

Pretty women are dangerous,

A scheming beautiful woman, that's the danger of danger.

Von Decker, who traveled from south to north, never dared to underestimate a creature like a woman.

Victor, who was sarcastically ridiculed by von Decker, glared at von Decker angrily.

"What do you mean, von Decker? Freya's butler Charlotte wasn't there, either,

Why don't you talk about her, but you want to talk about my Luke,

Do you think Madame Freya has no tutors? ”

Victor is clearly not a fuel-efficient lamp,

Directed the fire directly to Freya.

What's the matter, Freya just glanced at the two of them coldly,

He immediately said, "If you want to quarrel with yourselves, don't get involved with me."

Everyone knows what happened last night.

Don't think that when your people are back, you can sit back and relax.

If the Fishman Village is held accountable,

You can't run away either.

So, now it's a matter of what excuses to use to explain what happened last night.

Don't trouble ourselves.

Otherwise, being kicked out of the river beach is a trifle. ”

Freya's words woke up the other two,

The two of them suddenly became nervous.

Yes, I was caught breaking into the fishman village at night.

People will definitely be held accountable.

This is the territory of the fish-people,

If they are angry, they will be expelled.

Where do they go to find a place like this where they can sleep and live in peace?

Although it is said that rescue should not be far away,

But in case they are driven out before help arrives,

Then there was an accident at night!

At this moment, the two realized the seriousness of the problem.

"So what do we do now?"

Victor and the two of them were a little confused for a while, so they could only ask Freya for help.

Freya calmly analyzed:

"First of all, we must unite and speak in unison. We don't know about last night's events,

It's all done by his subordinates. ”

Freya's words made von Deke and the others embarrassed.

This is to make them sell their men to protect themselves.

Von Decker was embarrassed because Lucian was still sleeping in the house.

And he still relied on his own safety, so he betrayed him,

Is it really good?

And he wasn't caught, there's no evidence,

I betrayed him instead, which is somewhat immoral.

If it is transmitted back to the Chamber of Commerce, won't his reputation stink?

As a businessman, once his reputation is stinky, his future will basically be ruined.

Victor was embarrassed, and that was because Luke had been his support all these years.

Not only his hidden strength, but also his command.

Luke is his right-hand man, and all his property is taken care of by Luke.

Not to mention that the things he did behind his back were also handled by Luke.

What is the difference between betraying Luke and betraying himself!

The two figured this out, and immediately exchanged glances,

After confirming the other party's meaning, he refused at the same time:

"No, we can't do that. The people below do things for us,

How can we sell people. We don't agree with that. ”

Looking at the two who were still attacking and taunting each other just now,

unanimously opposed their own proposals,

Freya sneered in her heart, but said with a nonchalant face:

"Even if you don't agree, you can press it down first and wait and see what happens.

But there is one thing that must be done right away.

There were thirteen of us, and now we are three of us.

There are only seven left, and Leo Gareth wears the same pants as Nock Lane.

Sister Sophia and Leo Gareth are also unclear.

So the four of them are definitely on the same page.

Then we can only fight for the other three.

Hathaway, the princess of the Black Bull Kingdom, her bodyguard, Treville, and the mysterious Marquis Julien.

Our interests are aligned,

As a member of the noble circle of the kingdom,

We all want to return to the Kingdom in peace and continue to live our human lives.

Therefore, to win them to our position,

It is very necessary for us to integrate our interests.

Only in this way will Nock Lane be jealous of the forces behind us,

Don't dare to mess with us.

Otherwise, with the confidence that he can now mobilize a group of fishmen under his hands.

Kill us all, blame the monsters or the dark creatures,

Who can take him how?

After all, it was the three of us who directly offended him now.

He could have just taken us and spared the others.

As long as he doesn't move the princess, then the royal family won't care about him.

He doesn't move the Marquis, and the champagne collar won't embarrass him.

These two men of high standing testified to him,

Then we die in vain,

Do you understand? ”

At this moment, Freya deliberately magnified the selfishness of people's hearts.

The alarmist provoking the nerves of the two Victors.

Victor and von Decker glanced at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"So, how do you want to win them over?"

Freya smiled, "Princess Hathaway is not in the world, I will convince her."

Marquis Julien can master a territory, and he must not be a simple person,

Mr. von Decker knows how to read words and feelings, and with the status of a businessman, it is easier to communicate with her.

As for Mr. Tréville, presumably Mr. Victor should be able to convince him to help,

Compared with the protection of the Victor family, not everyone can refuse. ”

Freya directly divides labor and cooperates,

The other two were secretly surprised.

Sure enough, this woman should not be underestimated.

Her arrangements turned out to be based on the weakness of the target.

Come to think of it, these days she is secretly investigating the personalities of everyone in the team a long time ago.

Thinking of this, both men made Freya the first person to watch out for in their hearts.

Freya naturally knew the changes in the eyes of the two men,

But she didn't care.

She knew that if something happened to Charlotte,

So with the hatred she had with Nock Lane and drove people away,

The other party will definitely play on the ladder and embarrass himself.

Even, it is possible to take the opportunity to kill her.

She wants to preemptively bring people together.

But before that, the second heart in the hearts of others must be broken.

That's why she said so many alarmist things to Victor and von Decker.

With what she's known about Nock Lane along the way, these speculations won't necessarily happen.

That Nock Lane is ruthless!

The three agreed and decided to use the disappearance of Luke and Charlotte as an excuse,

persuade others to help find it,

Preemptive.

As for adding a little personal work to the process of persuasion,

Win over those who should be fought over,

It depends on their individual abilities.

Victor knocked on Treville's door most directly, regardless of it.

Soon the well-dressed Trever opened the door and welcomed Victor in.

"Your Excellency, I wonder what you are looking for me?"

Trever asked quietly, pretending to be confused.

But in his heart he knows better than anyone else,

As one of the best in the team,

He had already listened to the conversation of the three people outside the door.

When they asked a few of them to repair the house, they all tacitly chose the direction away from the fish-man village.

Instead, it was the house of the Leo and Sophia sisters, far away from them, near the end of the fish-man village.

signaled that the three Freya dared to blatantly "conspire" at the door,

It doesn't necessarily mean that others "eavesdrop" on it.

Victor changed his panic outside the door, looked at Treville calmly, and said:

"Treville, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. My housekeeper Luke is missing,

I'm short on manpower right now, and I want you to come and help me.

Don't worry, I won't do you any wrong. ”

Trevel didn't expect Victor to be so straightforward, and he didn't know how to deal with him for a while.

He thought in silence for a moment, and then said:

"Your Excellency, I don't understand what you're saying.

Butler Luke is missing, so let's go find it.

In case he is caught by the fish-man and eaten as food,

That's miserable.

You also know that those fish are not jealous,

They used to eat raw meat, and they often attacked humans.

Although now ostensibly subdued by Father Lane,

But it is inevitable that he will hide it behind his back and do something to steal chickens and dogs. ”

Victor felt that there was something in Trevier's words, a bit of an insinuation.

He had a feeling of being offended, and he was very unhappy.

But now there is a request for people, and his city government has asked him to suppress this unhappiness.

Victor had a direct showdown with Tremill:

"Treville, don't beat around the bush with me. You should be well aware of your situation.

You fell out with Nock Lane on the ship, and there is nothing but hatred between you.

Although everyone is in trouble now, for the sake of the overall situation, he did not embarrass you.

But do you think he's really going to let you go?

You see now, we're safe, except for hunting every day,

Outside of getting some food, it's like a vacation.

You're basically useless anymore.

And last night, Luke went to explore the fishman village at night and didn't come back, obviously missing.

Nock Lane already has an excuse to attack, what do you think he will do?

The kingdom's rescue should be coming soon,

Even if he kills us, he will have a chance to be rescued.

Besides, he didn't have to kill everyone at all.

Just kill those of us who don't have a good deal with him,

The rest of the people will definitely choose silence in order to survive.

We can only get out of here alive if we join forces and let him throw a rat trap. ”

Trevel didn't feel that Victor's words were scaring him,

It's possible that Nock Lane could do that.

However, that didn't make him fall for Victor.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but I was sent by His Majesty the King to protect Her Highness the Princess.

I suppose that for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Father Lane will not embarrass me. ”

Trevier refused, he was the king's man and did not want to take refuge in other nobles,

Be a lackey for the aristocracy.

To be a lackey for the aristocracy is just a lackey for the rest of his life.

Be a lackey for the king, and maybe one day when the king is happy, he will become a nobleman.

How to choose, he still knows.

However, Victor's next words directly shattered his confidence.

"Treville, don't kid yourself.

How you treated Princess Hathaway along the way, others don't know,

It's not clear to you yourself?

Don't say that Nock Lane needle is not aimed at you,

Even if you make it back to the royal capital alive, are you sure you'll be safe?

Hathaway is the queen of the inner design, and she will be the mother of a country in the future.

With your behavior of making things difficult for her on the road, and even trying to kill her,

Do you think she will do something to you after she becomes queen?

Do you think His Majesty is helping her or you?

But if you take refuge in me, you take refuge in the Victors.

Then you are our man, with the prestige of our Victor family in the royal city,

Even His Majesty the King would not dare to ask you lightly.

After all, for the sake of a queen who has no roots and a family of important ministers of the state,

Even our young Majesty knows how to choose.

If you try harder to do things for us,

We'll help you get a knighthood.

You know, we don't treat our allies badly.

Viscount Celtis, right?

He was promoted by our family. ”

When Trevel heard this, his heart was moved.

"Can you really fight His Majesty for me?"

Victor proudly tucked his collar and said with a smile:

"Mr. Treville, don't doubt the credibility of our Victor family.

We still attach great importance to talents.

The aristocratic circle is about human sophistication, not fighting, killing, and killing.

Profit is our ultimate goal.

The interests are aligned, this is the way to play in the aristocratic circle.

As long as we have the same interests, how can we give up on you? ”

Trevier was dazzled by Victor's aristocratic speech,

I've already begun to fantasize about the future.

Completely ignore the pitfalls in Victor's words.

If you have the same interests, you are an ally, and if you don't have the same interests, you will naturally be the enemy.

It's just that Tréville himself is an ordinary person from a small town,

Relying on military exploits, he walked step by step to the king and became a bodyguard.

Where can I understand the words of the nobles?

As a result, Treville was directly taken down by Victor and became Victor's man.

On the other side, at the same time as Victor made contributions.

Freya also finds Princess Hathaway.

"Good morning, Your Highness Princess."

"Excuse me, Lady Tetamora, I wonder what you did with me so early?"

Hathaway looked at each other with a puzzled expression, she really didn't know what was going on.

At this point on weekdays, everyone is sleeping,

Why did this woman who had never had a sense of existence suddenly find her today?

"Hehe, Her Royal Highness the princess just calls me Freya, what lady is not a lady, see more outside.

After all, when we return to the royal capital in the future, we will inevitably move around more.

Her Royal Highness the princess has come all the way to Fran to become our queen,

If you think about it, you will inevitably be lonely in the future.

Wouldn't it be more fun to meet a few more friends?

Freya is not talented, and she can eat well in the aristocratic circle of the royal capital,

When the time comes, I will definitely introduce some trustworthy noble friends to Her Royal Highness the Princess,

It's good for the princess to gain a firm foothold in the royal capital.

You know, there are many families who peep into the queen's position.

It is imperative for the nobles to get this position,

But it turned out to be snatched by Her Royal Highness the princess who landed in the air.

What do you think those noble ladies will think? ”

As soon as Freya came, she began to sell each other well,

sold well, and did not forget to point out the delicate situation of the other party.

At this moment, Hathaway, who had nothing to do with herself, suddenly turned ugly.

She is not stupid, and she has seen a lot of palace fights in the palace.

I know how unscrupulous a woman can be for a position.

Although she was pampered and raised,

But that doesn't mean she hasn't seen the danger.

The assassination of her has never stopped.

It's just that those failed women were eliminated by her mother and father.

Of course, this is because the enemy's assassination is mainly on her brother,

Otherwise, she may not live to the age of marriage.

Who, not yet living with a mask.

Wasn't Nock deceived by her innocent appearance to become her tool against Treville?

It's just that she meant to make things difficult for Trevile, and then to subdue him.

But he didn't want Nock to use too much force, which directly made her the object of Trelville's hatred.

She had already given up on Trevill in her heart.

She wouldn't let anyone who held a grudge against her be around.

What's more, this person also had murderous intent towards her.

It's just that now that she is under the roof, she can only continue to pretend to be stupid.

Once back in the royal capital, she will surely have His Majesty Louis kill the potential scourge of Treville.

But she didn't expect that what she had been thinking about was not the biggest threat to her.

Even more dangerous things are waiting for her in the royal capital!

She understands that her marriage is a must.

The maritime supremacy of the Black Bull Kingdom was provoked by the Lionheart Kingdom,

But the Kingdom of Lionheart has always been in-law with the Kingdom of Fran,

If there is a war between the Black Bull Kingdom and the Lionheart Kingdom,

The kingdom of Fran will definitely get a foot,

Who to help, then you still need to ask?

But if she becomes Queen Fran,

The kingdom of France can't send troops to help others attack their queen's hometown!

In the future, when her brother grows up, maybe she will help her brother unite the Kingdom of France.

Swallow the Red Bull Nation sandwiched between the two countries.

and then encroach on the Flange Kingdom to the east, and the sea hegemon may not be able to be a continental hegemon.

It's time for the splendor of the Holy Papal States to come to an end!

This is the real purpose of her Hathaway's marriage, and it is also the calculation of their Black Bull royal family.

Therefore, her position as queen cannot be lost!

So, she smiled and took Freya's hand and said with a smile:

"Oh, Sister Freya is really understanding.

Sister, I am a newcomer, and I really don't know a few people in Wang.

It was because I was so stuffy in the palace all day that I begged Your Majesty to let me go on a trip.

When the trip is over, I just go back to get married.

I didn't expect that to happen, and we ended up here.

But thanks to this, I had the opportunity to meet someone like my sister.

I'm quite curious about the circle of the royal capital, I don't know if my sister is free,

Tell me more about it? ”

Hearing Hathaway climb up the pole and call herself "sister",

Freya knew she was halfway there.

She was a little embarrassed and said:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm here to find you today, not to chat,

Instead, I want to ask you for help. But don't worry, the coming days are long,

I will definitely give you a good introduction to the customs, customs and habits of the royal capital. ”

When Hathaway heard that Freya was looking for her to do something, she suddenly became a little less enthusiastic.

"Oh, it's strange that my sister came to me for help.

My sister can't lift my hands, I can't carry it on my shoulders, and I was almost bitten by a snake when I picked up firewood.

How can I help my sister? ”

Hathaway's words already smacked of rejection.

But what kind of person is Freya, a woman who has gone through a thousand men's faces and has not changed,

How could you give up because of Hathaway's hint?

She immediately said:

"Her Royal Highness doesn't know that my housekeeper Charlotte is missing.

Last night was fine, but when I woke up in the morning, I didn't see anyone, and I searched the camp but couldn't find her.

Later, I met Baron Victor and learned from him that his butler, Luke, was also missing.

I was worried that something would happen, so I came to ask Her Royal Highness the princess to come forward.

Let Father Ryan direct the fishmen to help find them. ”

Freya directly explained her intentions, and at the same time looked hesitant,

The ghost said something that made Hathaway jump to her feet.

"By the way, when I came, I saw Baron Victor enter Treville's room,

Looks like he wants to woo him.

You know, the Victor family is a big family in the royal capital,

The ancestor once had a duke, but then he stood in the wrong line,

He was deprived of his territory and dukedom by the previous king, and was reduced to a hereditary marquis.

But the son of the Marquis of Victor is in a position of three lords.

The old marquis is on the throne, and the eldest young master will inherit the title in the future.

The second young master is said to have served in the army, commanded a lot of troops, and was also made a viscount.

The third young master, Jim Victor, is even more powerful, relying on his own business,

can be made a baron by His Majesty the King.

If Treville joins the Victor family,

Then the status of Her Royal Highness the princess is worrying. ”

Hathaway was a smart man, and she couldn't hear Freya's potential meaning.

She clapped her hands and said with a look of righteous indignation:

"How can this be reasonable, how can you be careless about such a big thing as a disappearance.

I've got that in mind.

Go, in the name of the future queen of the kingdom, I will ask Father Lane for help,

I don't believe he dares to refuse me! ”

Hearing Hathaway's words, Freya knew that Hathaway had agreed to form an alliance with her.

It's just that this little girl slipped her head and didn't say it directly.

Just when Victor and Freya succeeded one after another,

Von Decker was very bitter.

Because he failed.

Not only did he fail to convince the Marquise Julien to stand on their side.

On the contrary, he was almost rebelled by the Marquis Julien.

As soon as he thought of the woman's words, he couldn't help but be afraid.

"Mr. von Decker, I know exactly what you mean.

However, I don't understand why you are so stupid.

Father Lane is now powerful, and we can live here in peace.

All thanks to his conquest of the Fish-People.

But look at what you're doing, thinking about being his enemy.

Are you living too comfortably and want to make yourself uncomfortable?

Or do you think that if you have offended him now, the kingdom's rescue will arrive in the afternoon,

You don't need his help and mercy anymore?

Don't forget, you're just a businessman.

Businessmen should be neutral and mercenary.

Instead of getting involved in other people's conspiracies and becoming someone else's pawn.

If you win, you have to make a small profit.

But if you lose, isn't it a complete defeat?

Is this in your businessman's interest?

Not to mention, I don't see any hope of your victory in this battle between you.

We're just an ordinary person,

If you want to survive this disaster,

It depends on the strong.

Who is the strongest man in the ranks?

It's not you, it's not me. Not an ally in your mouth.

It's Father Lane who you're targeting.

He and his friends were the ones who were able to get this team here safely.

The confidence to take root here!

And now, you're going to provoke our greatest reliance with your friends.

Are you crazy, or did I hear it wrong?

So, Mr. von Decker, if you want to go crazy, please take care of yourself.

But I don't accompany you.

I just want to return safely to my territory,

My people still need me to lead them.

I'm not going to put myself in danger for the sake of a battle of will. ”

After the Marquis Julien said this, he blasted von Dek out the door.

So much so that he was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

But after this was the case, Victor appeared in front of the door with Treville and Freya with Hathaway.

Only he, von Deke, looked embarrassed, standing alone at the door of Ms. Julien's room.

Needless to say, everyone knew he had failed.

Fortunately, Freya and Victor didn't say anything.

Just smiled at von Decker, and then greeted:

"Mr. von Decker, we have brought people out, you go and get Mr. Lucian,

Let's go together and ask Mr. Gareth for help and ask Father Lane to help us find the missing man. ”
