Verse 233 rejoices

In the makeshift royal palace, the Queen's bedchamber.

The mother-in-law combed the little girl's hair as before. In fact, the little girl has very beautiful long hair, like a black waterfall, with moderate length, and the light can be seen. What's even more rare is that her hair is very soft and very easy to comb and dress.

“...... So, in the end, it was Rhodia who saved Beller's life. Hey, I'm so lucky. "The little girl is telling her mother-in-law about what happened recently. "If he is assassinated in Eagle Falcon......"

She didn't say what would happen next. However, even a fool understands that it means a very bad situation.

"But he's not dead, is he?" the mother-in-law didn't seem to care too much about these political matters. "Speaking of which, thanks to Rhodia......"

"yes, otherwise it would have been miserable this time. The little girl was a little depressed. In this matter, her entire court was not as useful as Rhodia.

"By the way, I heard that Lord Skadera has already started to prepare to move back to the palace?"

This was an inevitable consequence, because the temporary palace, the former regent's residence, had indeed become too cramped. For this growing court, it was only a matter of time.

"Skadera wants to do it as well as possible. The little girl replied. Speaking of which, the gardens of the palace are probably overgrown with weeds that are as tall as a human being. Coupled with the traces left by that mutiny, it may take some time to sort them out.

"Ashrufat...... You don't seem to have seen him all this time. The mother-in-law asked in a gentle voice peculiar to the elderly as she combed it. "Haven't you been inconvenient lately?"

Although it was behind the little girl, the mother-in-law obviously felt the low feeling of the little girl's love.

"Happen...... What's wrong?" the mother-in-law asked softly, stopping her combing movements. "Isn't it, the rumors in Eagle Falcon City before...... What kind of effect did it have on him?"

He ...... He rejected me. After a long time, the little girl finally answered. Like all girls of this age, she needs someone to talk to. Mother-in-law happens to be the best object. She told her mother-in-law exactly what had happened that day, that is, on her birthday, and of course, what Rhodia had said to her.

To be honest, the little girl still doesn't know if it's Rhodia's words of comfort or the truth.

It's a little strange to say, when I talk about this matter now, the little girl finds that she is very calm, she can be very rational, and she can explain the whole thing clearly, and there is no wave in her heart at all.

"So that's why you're crying?" said the mother-in-law with a chuckle. To put it objectively, it was the mother-in-law's laughter that broke the little girl's calm mood just now. An angry feeling welled up in her heart.

"Mother-in-law, how can you say that......"

"Are you crying?"

"I didn't cry, I didn't even feel like cry......ing! I just don't know why the tears are not obedient at all......"

"Silly boy, why are you in such a hurry?" said the mother-in-law softly. "You're gambling and you're not sure you're going to win. You're too young and too impulsive......"

"That'...... What should I do?"

"Didn't do it...... In fact, there is no strategy for victory, and there is no strategy for defeat. Sometimes, we can only entrust a qiē to that ethereal and unknowable fate, and to our innate instincts as women. ”

"Mother-in-law, this ...... Rhodia said she had to fight for it. Take a qiē as seriously as if it were a war!"

"Maybe so, maybe not. How do men and women become attracted to each other? Sometimes, maybe you beat that guy up – or even beat him half to death – and he will fall in love with you. Sometimes, the slightest hint of violence will make men stay away......"

......

"Lady Rothea......" Béral tried his best to keep his smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his lower body. It wasn't from physical pain - it wasn't serious, and the doctors had determined that it wouldn't take much time for him to heal, but he couldn't help but think of Rotia's clean leg.

Bayrell is not one of the lucky people who has fought all his life without being injured, and in fact he has been injured quite a few times. But no matter which time he was injured, he didn't impress him as deeply as Rothea's kick, or cause him so severe mental damage that when he saw Rodia, his first reaction was to tighten his legs.

"Excuse me, are you looking for ......?"

"Don't talk to me in this tone!" Rothea snorted, making it clear that she wasn't in a good mood. Indeed, the sight of Bayrell made her angry. "You know what I'm here for. ”

"This ......," Bayral had to explain that he didn't have any foreknowledge powers. If he had, he wouldn't have been hit with such a humiliating and painful blow - fortunately, the incident was fooled by Bayer as a "fight with the Assassins", and he finally lost some face. As we all know, everything is used in hand-to-hand combat, and in this kind of death fight, it is not a shame to be attacked at the vital point of the lower body. Of course, getting kicked by a woman is another matter.

"All right, I'm here to ask for money. Rhodia said. "Don't forget jì, you still owe me a debt that you haven't paid!"

Bayral had to stress again that he didn't bring any money. He came to Eagle Falcon City as a foreign envoy, and everything he ate and lived was paid by the official of Eagle Falcon City, and he didn't need to bring too much money. What he brought with him could only be counted as pocket money, and the meagre amount could not satisfy Rhodia's appetite at all.

Of course, as Rhodia had already knew, Bayrell had lost the credibility to borrow money from the Chamber of Commerce or someone else. From a third-party point of view, the whole situation can be compared to the fact that Beller is completely barren and rocky, and there is absolutely no crop to grow. Unless you have the ability to extract oil from the stones, it is better for this debt to end there. Not to mention that this matter is not a serious debt.

But it's clear that Rhodia is the one who has the ability to extract oil from stones.

"Of course I know you don't have any money. Rhodia said dismissively. "So you'll have to pay for it! Luckily, someone in Eagle City paid to find out what you talked to Aerufat about today. ”

"I thought ......"

"Now that you're safe, it's impossible for anyone else to eavesdrop. Ashrufat is also a rich man who doesn't care about money at all, and it is impossible to buy news from him if he has money. So the end result is...... Those who are curious have offered a premium for what you have talked about today!" Rotia said. "Sue me, the account between us will be settled!"

"We didn't really talk about anything, we just did an analysis of the situation on the front. Beller replied frankly. He had nothing to hide in this regard. "It's all about planning and estimating future battles...... It's really hard to give you the details, and I'm sure the person who wants to buy the news won't be interested in that. ”

"Then why did you find Ashrufat and not anyone else?"

"Isn't that obvious? There is no doubt that he must be one of the generals on this expedition. "Bayer understands it too. "It's always better to have some communication beforehand. ”

"Nothing else?" asked Rhodia. She could believe Bayrell's answer, but she wasn't sure if anyone else would.

"Of course, what else can we talk about?" replied Bayral.

Speaking of which, it's actually a bit crazy that she came to the door so openly. All of her subordinates thought it was an unattainable act - because the two sides were completely unequal. It is one thing to take advantage of the assassination to lock Bayral in his own shop and extort money, but it is another thing to go to the door to collect accounts so head-on. But Rhodia instinctively felt that she should be able to succeed - in fact, Bayor's first instinct was not to call the guards or blast her out, but to meet her with a smile on her face, and she knew it was done.

Although she also didn't know why Bayral was like this. She just instinctively felt that she could do it.

After Rhodia left, Béral let out a long breath. This trouble is finally solved. He turned around and tried to go out, only to see Robin already standing in the doorway.

"General, this woman is ......"

"Remember what I told you, Rodia?" replied Beller.

"Is that the mysterious woman, the little queen's temporary governess?" said Robin. He hadn't heard the conversation between the two men - Robin had always had a lot of respect for Bayor. If he was lying on his stomach in the doorway eavesdropping, he must have gotten permission or acquiescence from Baylor. He would never have been overly curious about those private conversations of Bayer. "General, how do you know her?"

"Hmm...... That assassination the other day. Bayral touched his face. "She was the one who saved me. Without her, Robin, you can probably go home with my coffin now. ”

"What? By the way, General, you said she seems to be ...... with the gangsters of Eagle Falcon."

"It's not seeming, it's OK. This lady Rhodia is the boss of the underground gangs in Eagle Falcon City!" said Bayor. "Do it as a woman...... Doesn't that seem incredible?"

"Huh, how could it be?

"I don't know the details. All I need to know is that she's the big boss of the Eagle Falcon underground gang. Robin, remember the 'diplomats' we went missing in Eagle City? I almost can, those people disappeared because of this lady Rhodia. ”

She ...... Officially co-opted?" Robin asked, a little confused.

"No, how can the authorities co-opt the gang?" Beller smiled. "If she were adopted, she wouldn't be the Queen's temporary governess, would she? ”

"Alliance?"

"Well, the queen of the underworld...... An alliance between two kings. Béral laughed. "It's really incredible, it's a miracle. ”

"General, why did she come to you this time?"

"This ......," Beller had a wolf look on his face. "It's the one who came to ask for the debt. You see that my creditors have come to the door now, isn't it miserable?"

"But...... Shogun. Robin looked at Baylor's face. "You seem happy to see her?"
