965 Chapter 1004: Child… Child?
“Mother, have you heard?”
In the Count’s residence, Jenny was excitedly acting coquettishly to a graceful and elegant woman. “This time, master Christine is going to auction off his own works! !”
The woman saw her daughter’s appearance and could not help but shake her head. “Are you trying to kill your father… ?”
Kristen was a famous fashion designer in the Empire. Every year, her designs were personally appointed by the children of the royal family. Ordinary n.o.bles had no way of buying them even if they wanted to.
The national banquet was about to begin. Master Kristen had already announced a few of her most capable works to the public, especially the blue figure. After she had seen the exhibition, she could not forget the amazement she had felt in her heart for a year.
She could not help but sigh deeply at the difference between n.o.bles and n.o.bles.
It was said that the dress had already been reserved by the king’s third princess, Karen. However, she did not expect that something like that would happen in the imperial city before the state banquet had even begun. The fall of the Yunduan n.o.bles was only a matter of time…
After the fall of the Imperial City, Blue Dragon City rose to prominence. The order in the south remained stable for the time being, and there were no major problems. However, there were still some changes in the structure.
For example, many n.o.bles who relied on the upper echelons of society were no longer as popular as the local n.o.bles. As the designer who had once been praised to the skies, Christine had no choice but to change the people she served.
However, in order not to offend others, they had adopted the auction mode this time. Everyone could compete with their financial strength to avoid many disputes.
After learning about this, the southern n.o.ble women’s circle was immediately in an uproar. It was even livelier than when the imperial city was gone. Now that the auction was approaching, Jenny was so excited that she wanted her family to buy one for her… …
“There are many wealthy n.o.bles in the South… how would your father have the money to compete with them?”The woman rolled her eyes at her daughter and said. To be honest, she herself was envious and wanted one, but considering that her husband was only a small earl…
“Mother…”. Jenny immediately curled her lips and said, “Your Daughter is about to get engaged. There will definitely be many n.o.ble ladies coming over for such an occasion. If the people who come to partic.i.p.ate in the auction wear works designed by masters, and your daughter still wears clothes made by those rustic tailors in the city, will she lose face?”
“This…”the n.o.blewoman fell silent, christine was not the only master of this auction. As far as she knew, there were more than a thousand pieces that were originally prepared for the royal ladies at the State Banquet. If word got out, many n.o.ble ladies would have them, it was indeed a little embarra.s.sing that her daughter did not have a single piece to hold the fort when she was engaged.
At the thought of this, the n.o.blewoman finally nodded. “When your father comes back, I’ll tell her…”
“Thank you, mother!”Jenny happily kissed her mother’s face.
The n.o.blewoman rolled her eyes. “I’m just helping you to say it, but I can’t guarantee that it will be successful. You Can’t blame me if it doesn’t work out.”
“Mother will definitely do it. Father listens to you the most!”Jenny flattered her.
“Humph…”the lady glared at her daughter and was about to say something when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps from afar. She immediately stopped the private conversation between mother and daughter and looked outside.
Soon, she saw a middle-aged knight in full armor walking in quickly.
The lady frowned and waited for the other party to come closer before asking, “James, what’s the situation?”
This man was the Guardian Knight she had married when she first came here. He was a man who knew the rules very well. He would not wear military armor when he entered the backyard of the Earl’s mansion.
“Madam…”the knight hurriedly saluted after entering the door and hurriedly said, “Something big has happened!”
“Slow down…”the n.o.blewoman said softly, “Are those outsiders going to be levied again?”
In the morning, she had heard that the new army was going to levy 90% of the grain in Kate City. However, this was not a big deal for the agriculture-developed Kate City. They just had to endure for a period of time until the autumn harvest, more than half of the grain produced in Kate City every year was exported.
“Duke of Red River City: Lord Bondi Is Here!”
“Lord Bondi?”The lady was stunned for a moment and stuttered, “It’s… It’s… That Woman’s father?”
“Yes…”the knight said with a serious expression, “He just arrived. The count is receiving him, but he has already mentioned his granddaughter several times. The Count asked me to come back and ask if Lady Sunny is still here, right?”
The n.o.ble lady’s face turned pale!
Jenny pouted and said, “What the F * ck. Yesterday, the ORC broke into the mansion and went directly to that little B * TCH. This morning, even David disappeared. Who knows where he went? “It’s not like Father doesn’t know about this. Why are you pretending to be ignorant?”
“Shut up! !”The n.o.ble lady suddenly shouted!
Jenny was startled by the shout and looked at her mother in a daze.
Her mother’s face was pale as she muttered, “It’s over… There’s going to be a big mess.”
After the incident yesterday, the master did not ask about the matters of the south courtyard. He was also happy and relaxed. Everyone cooperated and did not ask about how sunny was doing because it was not a glorious thing for everyone to escape in a hurry yesterday, who would bring up the future of a marginal daughter who was not valued?
If the orc really did do something to her, wouldn’t it appear that the Earl’s manor was very incompetent?
The earl wanted to cover up this matter. As his stepwife, she was also happy to cooperate.
However, that was under peaceful circ.u.mstances. If someone were to pursue this matter, it would be a different matter. Perhaps it was because they had been oppressed for too long and did not value it that they had forgotten that sunny actually had such a strong backer!
“d.a.m.n it! !”The n.o.blewoman suddenly lost her graceful bearing and said with a hideous and terrifying face, “That old thing did it on purpose, right? Why would he suddenly think of his own granddaughter?”
Seeing his own wife, who was protecting him, calling a duke an old thing, the knight could only pretend not to hear it.
However, he could also understand the misbehavior of his wife. After all, if Duke Bondi had shown a hint of remembering his granddaughter, the Earl’s mansion would not have treated miss sunny so poorly.
“Quick, go to the south courtyard! ! ! !”
——–
On the other side, David turned on his running mode and ran toward his sc.r.a.p iron factory. Of course, as a veteran, although he was anxious, he did not forget to pay attention to whether there was anyone following him along the way.
Unfortunately, he had also underestimated the importance Luke placed on him. He would directly send a general to follow him.
After probing a few times, David did not notice anything out of the ordinary. In the end, he still walked quickly into the cellar. After all, this matter was extremely urgent. A minute late could lead to a disaster.
When he entered the cellar, David was extremely nervous. He was afraid that if he came late, he would see a scene that he did not want to see!
However, the worst-case scenario that he had imagined did not happen, but it was not the best case scenario either. David had never thought that such a scene would happen… …
“Uncle David, you’re back?”Sunny still had that angelic smile on her face.
But the thing in her arms made David’s eyes almost pop out…
“Child… child? ?”
“Mm…”sunny smiled sweetly. “Isn’t it cute?”
David:”…”
F * ck… What was going on?
