Chapter 131 Stay in the Palace
Fred looked at Mary who was kneeling in front of his path, not letting him go, and his mood didn't fluctuate much.

After all, death is imminent, and there is always a struggle.

"Your Highness, I am willing to exchange all the property of the Earl's Mansion in exchange for the safety of my father." Mary quickly weighed the situation, and made a decision that could be called "docking her tail to survive."

All the properties of the Earl's Mansion are indeed huge, but their origins are unknown.

Fred laughed, his smile was as bright and clean as an angel, but the words he said made Mary despair like a devil: "It doesn't have to be like this, if all the nobles are extinct, then the ownership of the property also belongs to the royal family."

From the very beginning, there was no room for negotiation, and the royal family was determined to prevent Beard from turning over.

"Your Highness—" Mary threw herself at Fred's feet, reached out and grabbed his trouser legs, "We are cousins, are you really going to be so desperate?"

Cousins?Even at this point, do you still not recognize the situation and your own identity?
Fred grabbed Mary's wrist and slowly pulled her hand away. His force was so clever that Mary felt her hand go numb and lose all strength in her hand, so she had to let go.

"Ulysses doesn't even dare to claim to be my cousin, but you are so brave." Fred shook off Mary's hand like trash, "The children of an illegitimate child are worthy of talking about relationship with me? "

Strictly speaking, Fred didn't care whether a person was an illegitimate child or not. When he was employing people, he only looked at whether they were useful. No matter how noble their status was, useless people were worthless to him.

Not to mention that the Beards were not even useless, they were downright harmful.

What he said was nothing more than a little warning given to Mary, knowing that she had always been proud and inferior to her identity.

Mary was trembling all over, and Fred's words seemed to lift her fig leaf, making her feel so embarrassed that she wanted to burrow into the ground.

"Your Highness..." Mary cried and begged, "Please let my father go, he is only deceived, he will never commit treasonous acts, please give him another chance."

Of course he knew that Beard didn't do it on purpose. With Beard's IQ, if he had done it on purpose, he would have been exposed long ago. Besides, what good would treason do to Beard.

"So you and Gray can live." Fred looked at Mary and said indifferently. The royal family only planned to kill Beard, and let Beard's children, whether legitimate or illegitimate, be spared." If I were you, go back now and see how much property you can take away."

Then he pulled Mary away forcefully, made her move, and moved away from her.

Mary sat in a daze for a while, and after regaining her senses, she wiped away her tears, got up and left in a hurry.

His Highness was right, she had tried her best to save her father, but His Highness disagreed, and she had no choice but to protect herself first, right?

Human nature is selfish, and Mary's indifference is somewhat related to Beard's lack of concern for his children. How can a person who spends his time outside every day expect him to have a deep relationship with his children? Besides, Mary Wanting to save him was largely for her own sake. After all, without this title, how could she gain a foothold in the nobility?

But when life is a problem, this title becomes insignificant again.

When Fred returned to his palace, Safi and Felisa were waiting for him, not specifically for him, but it was not convenient for them to walk around the palace without Fred.

"What are you doing?" Fred looked at the scattered papers on the table, a little puzzled, but he politely refused to read the contents of the letter paper.

Felisa, who was writing quickly, raised her head and smiled: "It's a reply letter, Your Highness can take a look."

After getting permission, Fred took out a piece of letter paper to see what Felisa had written.

This reply letter was addressed to Nana.

"Nana personally said:
I am already in the palace now, and your father is staying in the palace to assist as a witness of Earl Beard's treason. I think he will be able to return home safe and sound after a while, but the royal family already knows that his father will report [-]% less in the annual report of the territory. , I hope I can do it myself.

Felicia stays. "

It has long been no secret that the nobles underreport the harvest of their territories in order to reduce taxes. The royal family also knows, but there is nothing to do with these nobles, but if the royal family finds out that the nobles took the money to participate in some parties or activities of Beard In just a few minutes, these nobles can be labeled as colluding with Bield for treason, and all the money will be used as treasonous funds for Bield.

Felisa's reply letter seemed very sweet, but in fact it implied a threat.

Basically every reply is like this, with needles in it. This is to build momentum for Ulysses' intelligence department, telling the nobles that the royal family knows your every move and can make you "treason" at any time.

"Your Highness, I want Felisa to stay in the palace for a few days, is that okay?" Safi asked Fred, "I'm afraid she will cause trouble when she goes back."

Once these letters were sent out, Felisa would definitely have many visitors when she returned home, and something might happen to her. Safi felt that it was safest to let Felisa stay in the palace.

Fred asked first: "Then will you stay too?"

Safi showed a little hesitation, and Felisa immediately said: "Safi stay with me, I'm a little scared to be alone in the palace."

Now that Felisa said so, Safi nodded and agreed.

Fred immediately ordered the guest room to be tidied up.

Felisa finished writing the remaining letters, packed them all, and gave them to the maids in the palace to stamp the royal unicorn seal on the wax paint, and then sent them to each household.

"Thank you, Miss Felisa," Fred said with a smile, "The room has been tidied up, let's go and see what you are not satisfied with."

Who dares to say that the royal guest room is dissatisfied, this is just an excuse for Fred to drive away Felisa because he wants to be alone with Safi.

Felisa understood, so Felisa stood up and lifted her skirt to salute: "Then I will take my leave first."

The maid brought Felisa to her room, stood at the door and smiled gently: "This is your room, I'm right at the door, if you need me, call me at any time." Then she bowed slightly and backed out.

Felisa let out a long sigh of relief when the maid was completely out of her sight, and threw herself heavily into the soft sofa.

Azalez checked the inside and outside of the room, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he returned to Felisa and touched her forehead: "Are you tired?"

In fact, in the palace, although it looks relaxed, the inner pressure is not small, and I wrote so many replies in one breath, and I have to think carefully about how to word each letter in order to look decent, which can actually create pressure on the other party and consume There is also a lot of brain power.

Felisa shook her head: "It's okay, how are you?"

This question was asked inexplicably, but it made Asalez wary.

In fact, he has felt uncomfortable since he entered the palace. There seems to be a natural barrier in the palace, sealing his dark magic. Although there will be no problem as long as he does not use dark magic, the discomfort is still lingering. go.

It's his eldest lady, do you see anything?
