Section 282 is prudent

"I lost!" the little girl dropped the chess pieces in her hand and conceded defeat to Rhodia.

Although she is still young, as a queen, she has received a full set of education from a queen, and she has a little experience in playing chess and the like.

She had already lost this game - although it was only in the middle game, the shape on her chessboard was too bad to be greater.

This is not surprising, however, since the game of chess is a game in which prostitutes and nobles are equally proficient - especially high-ranking prostitutes. In addition to this, all those who are good at this art agree on the fact that playing chess requires a calm mind. The instability of the situation can greatly affect the player's performance.

At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by the characteristic sonorous sound of walking in metal armor.

"Your Majesty, they seem to be here. Rhodia reminded.

"I ...... Just a straightforward explanation?" the little girl bit her lip—a reaction peculiar to her nervousness.

"Almost, you can think of it as a ...... A negotiation. Rhodia said. "And you're much stronger than them. You can simply ask for it without being secretive. ”

"If they, I mean...... They refused, what should I do?"

"Then you'll be a little embarrassed......" Rhodia replied with a smile. "But it's worth the gamble, isn't it? Think of Ashrufat, think he'll be with you...... For a lifetime!"

The little girl settled down. As Rhodia had guessed, it was indeed the two Griffin sisters who came. And most importantly, it was just the two of them, and there was no annoying old woman with them.

"I'll go meet them first. Rhodia volunteered. The little girl nodded.

When Xingke saw Rhodia, he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart. Speaking of which, she didn't seem to know this strange woman well, and they hadn't met each other a few times. But for some reason, this woman was so hostile to their sisters that it was impossible to hide it.

Speaking of which, even Aunt Mary didn't know what old grudges she had with this Rhodia.

However, since Rhodia is in the way, the twins have no choice. Xingke took the initiative to step forward and saluted.

"Ms. Rhodia. ”

"The Queen's bedchamber, no one who comes in can carry a weapon with him. Rhodia smiled with a smile that she knew was ill-intentioned.

"We ...... Not with weapons. "It's a strange request, but it makes sense. Due to the last time the Cultists of Chaos sent Assassins to assassinate the Queen (this was not their first operation, they had also attempted to assassinate General Beller before), the atmosphere in Eagle Falcon City was quite tense during this time. There is a joke that "the streets are full of spies and dogs", which is a satire of this situation.

"I'll check it out. Rhodia said with a wicked smile.

"You can't ......" Hoshimi glanced at the group of guards who had brought them over, and they were all silent. That's a tacit approval.

"They were men, and it was not appropriate for them to conduct a detailed search of the two ladies. Rhodia stepped forward, "So let me come." ”

In this case, the twins are helpless. Hoshimi was led by Rhodia into a small room on the edge of the dormitory, a position invisible to the guards outside, and as was customary, he raised his hands and was examined.

As you can imagine, this was not a normal inspection - because Rhodia was not really here to check if they were armed. Her hand only symbolically touched Hoshimi's waist, abdomen, and skirt, where she was most likely to hide her weapon, and then immediately reached through the gap in her clothes and touched the most sensitive part of Hoshimi's chest.

"Ah...... Ms. Rhodia ...... You...... You ......"

"Well, that's an exaggeration. Rhodia didn't pay any attention to Hoshimi's reaction, "It's so flat, it's ...... It's not as good as our little queen!"

"You...... You ......" Hoshimi was angry and anxious, but he was held down tightly by Rhodia. She is smaller than Rhodia and her strength is not as strong as the other party, so she can only watch the other party do whatever they want on her.

"However, sensitivity is very sensitive, and if you move a little, you will react. Rhodia exhaled softly in Hoshimi's ear. "Isn't it true that our Count Ashrufat likes this tune...... If that's the case, shouldn't he be more interested in Her Majesty the Queen?"

"You...... You...... What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm telling the truth. Well, you probably don't know that your fiancé, Count Ashrufat, once slept with our queen in his arms. ”

"What?!"

"Well, I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the possibility of it is really true. Rhodia gently bit Hoshimi's earlobe. These are the skills of a happy woman, although Hoshimi is angry and anxious, but he can't help the other party. "I remember that time...... It seems that at the time of Byron's coup, he hid for days with our queen Xià before finding a chance to break out of the falcon city. ”

"Let it go...... I'm going to call someone!"

"Oh, of course, you can call it. There was a whole group of guards outside, and they were all very dedicated people, and they would rush in as soon as they heard the shouting, but when they saw this qiē, what do you think they would do when they rushed in? Will they attack me and hurt me? They will only see one qiē...... Spread the word about it in the future...... Speaking of which, are you looking forward to this?"

"You...... You ......" It must be said that Hoshimi found that for a while, she really had no way out of this predicament, and could only let Rhodia get up and down.

The star carving and the guards outside the door waited for a long time, until they all began to be a little suspicious, and the door was opened, and Rhodia, who didn't care, and Hoshimi, who was flushed, walked out. In particular, Rhodia really has a set in this regard, and Hoshimi's clothes are still neat, even her twin sister can't see her fame for a while.

"Come with me. Rhodia's eyes glanced at the star carving, but instead of offering to examine her body, she took the lead and walked inside. Xingke suspiciously supported his sister, who looked a little frustrated, and followed, while the team of guards stayed outside the dormitory.

After moving back to the palace this time, the little queen's bedroom is no longer the small house it used to be. She officially moved to the dormitory where Gruny's kings lived—much larger than the one she had lived before. If the little queen wanted to, he could even hold a small dance party here, even if a dozen pairs of dance partners danced together.

The twins entered the interior of the bedchamber, where the queen lived.

As mentioned earlier, the twins' bloodline belonged to the Griffin family, a family that was considered a well-known family in both Gruny and Tiberius, but because the family was too large, it was a mixed bag. Although there are many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, there are also poor and unlucky people, and there are also many squires like twins. However, the famous family naturally has the advantages of being famous, one of which is that it can attract outstanding outsiders to marry them. Twins, for example, are typical of this - they inherited from their parents only "squires" (the title means commoner), but by virtue of their marriage they are about to become countesses, rightfully noblewomen.

Another advantage of celebrities is that they can cross the boundaries of identity from time to time. For example, as "squire nobles", the twins were originally not eligible to enter the queen's bedchamber, but because of their famous blood, they were able to make an exception to get this honor. In fact, Aunt Mary would take the two of them out on various social occasions in Eagle Falcon City without any special obstacles.

The little queen is already waiting for them here.

"Your Majesty!" the twins saluted.

The little girl raised her chin arrogantly, looked at the twins in front of her in a condescending manner, and did not answer.

"Her Majesty the Queen is looking for us this time...... I don't know why?" Starmoment immediately realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"There's something I want you to help me with," the little girl began. "I want you to renounce your engagement to Count Ashrufat. She said loudly.

"Of course, I won't let you pay for nothing. The little girl continued. "You can get whatever you like in return?"

......

"Your Excellency," a soldier walked in from the door of the tent. "This is a letter from Lord Brias. ”

Essien glanced at Clio beside him, who nodded. After seeing this hint from his friend, he took the letter and flipped through it carefully.

The letter was nothing special, just a simple agreement. The Count of Brias had given up the option of armed resistance in favor of another method. This choice is not surprising – when one is faced with an irresistible force, it is wise to back down. Bryas asked for an extra three days so that he would have plenty of time to take his family's fortune with him. Of course, his castle and his army, as well as other subordinate officials, all kinds of papers, records, etc., were to be handed over to Essien in their entirety.

Essien has proven his strength.

"The man Brias...... Didn't you say he was stubborn? Is this a trap?" asked Essien. Others may be complacent after such success, but Essien is different. This person has a cautious nature, and that is that the closer he gets to success, the more careful he will be. As we know, at this moment, he is only one step away from his ultimate goal.
