After eating the bread, Ben and Qingxue lay on the bed and slept under the quilt. Not only because there are no entertainment activities, but also because, in such a cold weather, only by doing less can you maintain your physical strength and make your stomach not so hungry so quickly.

Stupid opened his eyes in the dark night, looked at his sleeping sister, and sighed. He didn't know when those days would end. He was too young and had no skills, so he had to steal and rob to get food. But how long can this last? My sister is still so young, when will they be able to get out of such a life of poverty?

Ben remembered the life before the disappearance of his parents, although he was not rich, but he was able to fill his stomach every day and live a warm and happy life.

Fortunately, my sister is too young, although my parents cried for a while when they first disappeared, and then gradually forgot about it and adapted to life without parents. It's been three years, and my parents have disappeared like that, and I don't know if they are dead or alive now. There is an idea in Ben's heart that he doesn't want to face himself, his parents should have already encountered accidents, otherwise his parents who love them so much, how could they leave him and his sister alone.

Thinking about it, because of the cold and tiredness, Stupid gradually fell asleep.

The snow continued to fall, and the snow cloned the city of Paris with a white coat that covered up the poverty, the dirty, the garbage, and made the city look more beautiful. Although snow is a disaster for the poor, it is a romantic affair for those who are wealthy. They hung colorful lamps in the courtyard, and in the warm room they enjoyed the snow outside the window, or painted or wrote poems, and spent the long night.

In the middle of the night, the snow finally stopped, and even the moon showed half of her face. The white moonlight shines on the snow, setting the whole city as if it were day.

The moonlight shone through the curtainless window and shone on the stupid and light snow. The crown-shaped mark on Dumb's forehead flew up after being illuminated by the moonlight, and then emitted an intense white light that enveloped Dumb and Light Snow.

There was a green leaf-shaped mark on the back of Qingxue's left hand, which also flew up after being irradiated by the moonlight, and then emitted a green light, enveloping the siblings.

The white and green light seemed to breathe in rhythm, reinforcing each other, spinning, and fluctuating.

Stupid and light snow's sleeping faces showed a cheerful expression. Stupid had a beautiful dream. He dreamed that he was swimming in a hot spring with his sister and his parents. Although it was still snowing, the hot spring was very warm, and his body was slightly red from the hot spring water.

Next to the hot springs there is a small table with piping hot milk and freshly baked bread. Stupid gulped milk and bread. Milk and bread flowed through his stomach and body like a warm stream of heat, making him feel very comfortable. It didn't take long for him to feel that he had eaten and drunk enough............

He looked at his sister and parents, who were equally happy, and wondered if he was dreaming. If he's dreaming, he thinks, he should never wake up.

When Ben felt very comfortable, the white and green glow disappeared. The gray mark returned to the stupid body, and the green mark returned to the light snow.

The brother and sister fell into a deep sleep, not at all aware of the strange changes in their bodies.

............

Ka Miao is a maid in the Duke of Rand's palace. Duke Crissy Rand liked the bread of this bakery in the East End the most, so at the behest of the Duke, Ka Miao traveled through the South End to the East End to buy bread for the Duke. Whoever wanted to go out of the door of the bakery was snatched by a teenager.

The man who was chasing the thief of the bread came back after a while covered in scars, and it turned out that in the process of chasing the thief, he fell into the sewer well.

Ka Miao was angry and hateful, and she only had a silver coin from the duke on her to buy ten pieces of bread. Although the bakery was close at hand, she didn't have any extra money to buy more bread. It was getting late, and if I went back to the Duke's Palace to get the money again, I would definitely not be able to catch the Duke for dinner. Thinking that he had not done what the Duke had ordered, Ka Miao's heart was filled with resentment.

There was no other way, Ka Miao had to drag his tired body towards the Duke's Palace.

The Duke of Land, like most aristocratic residences, is located in the southern part of the city. Even in the southern part of the city, where land is at a premium, the area is very large.

Although the Duke of Rand is a family heirloom by force, this does not prevent the Rand family from loving art. The Rand family's mansion is not very grand, but it exudes an elegant atmosphere everywhere.

The entrance to the Ducal Palace opens into a wide boulevard lined with evergreen trees that have been trimmed into various shapes. At the end of the boulevard is the lavish Duke's Mansion in the Rococo style. The entire building is made of marble, and the decoration everywhere reveals the opulence of the Rococo style.

In the halls and corridors of the Duke's Palace, there are also many works by art masters. To be able to collect these famous paintings and sculptures, it took a lot of effort for people who wanted to come to the Rand family.

When she returned to the Duke's Palace, she learned from the other servants that the Duke and his family had already had dinner, but the Duke was still waiting for her for his favorite bread.

Ka Miao knew from the others that Duke Rand was in the study, so she had to walk towards the study. She didn't know how the Duke would punish her, although she didn't want to encounter such a thing, but after all, she didn't do what the Duke ordered. Everyone knows that Duke Rand has a very bad temper when he lacks desserts.

Ka Miao knocked on the door and walked into the study, and the Duke of Rand seemed a little unhappy to see Ka Miao, "I thought you would be back before dinner." That way, at dinner, I can have sweet buns. I didn't expect you to come back at this time. Where is the bread?"

"Lord Duke, bread ...... Bread...... The bread is gone. As she spoke, she began to cry.

"Why not. Is it all sold out?how is it possible?" the Duke frowned slightly when he saw Ka Miao crying.

"Lord Duke, I just bought bread and walked out of the bakery, and the bread was robbed............" Ka Miao cried as she talked about her own experience, the process of being robbed of bread.

"That thief was so hateful that he not only snatched the bread, but also designed the bakery guy who was chasing him to fall into the sewer well. "I heard from the guy in the shop that he had been wandering there and must be a repeat offender." He must have been keeping an eye on me before I even went into the bakery. I was dressed as a maid in the Duke's Palace, and he must have known that I was from the Duke's Palace. Even so, he snatched my bread. ”

Duke Rand pondered after listening to Kamiao's words, and as he pondered, he tapped his hand lightly on his desk.

The study was quiet, and you could hear Kamiao's sobs and the Duke banging on his desk.

"Are you sure he knows that you are from the Duke's Palace?" asked the Duke

"Yes, he must know, he must know. Lord Duke, you can't let this thief go, his actions like this are provoking your majesty. He must be arrested and put in prison...... No, to reduce him to slavery, to sell him to harsh families, to make him free and without human rights, to make him work all day and to be punished. Kamiao's mood was a little hysterical, but the Duke didn't mind.

After a while, the Duke of Rand sat down again, then spread out a piece of paper and began to write the letter.

Ka Miao stopped sobbing and looked up at Duke Rand carefully, and when she saw Duke Rand's calm face, her heart relaxed a little.

"Do you remember the look of the man who robbed you?" asked Duke Rand.

"Of course I remember, even if I die, I won't forget what that kid looks like. Ka Miao quickly replied.

"That's good. "I wrote a letter to the captain of the gendarmerie. To-morrow morning you take this letter to the captain of the gendarmerie and ask him to help you catch the bread snatchers. ”

As he spoke, Duke Rand stamped the badge of the Rand family on the letter he had just written, as well as his own personal seal, then took out an envelope and put it in the letter, and handed it to Ka Miao.

"Duke," Ka Miao hesitated, "the city is so big, is it possible to catch someone who robs bread?"

"Don't worry, the gendarmerie will have a way. As long as anyone violates the interests of our Rand family, no matter how big or small the interests are, even if it is a piece of bread, they will be punished. Even if he knows that you are from the Duke's Palace, and you still rob you of your bread, you must teach him a good lesson. Just take advantage of this incident to sound the alarm for those who covet the interests of my Rand family. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. Ka Miu took the letter, held it in both hands, and curtsy the duke.

"Okay, you go down and rest. Tomorrow morning I will go directly to the gendarmerie. Duke Rand waved his hand at Ka Miao. Ka Miao withdrew from Duke Rand's study.
