Here, the Lord said this is a good thing
Chapter 93 Siegwig
Chapter 93 Siegwig
"Ding ding! Ding ding!"
Before the first ray of sunshine appeared from the horizon, the newsboys who got up early received today's Cedarville Morning News from the newspaper office.
This stack of newspapers weighing nearly three kilograms may require them to run around all morning to earn one silver pound. (1 gold pound = 1 silver pounds = 20 copper pounds)
But every newsboy was running happily. Newsboy hats could not hide the smiles on their faces. The bells hanging on their waists kept shaking, gradually waking up the whole city.
Most of the residents living in the lower town of Siegweg are woken up by the crisp but somewhat disturbing sound of bells in the morning.
Except for a very small number of residents whose work allows them to change positions and continue to sleep, almost everyone else will struggle to get out of bed.
Although the sky outside the window has just become bright, soon the sun will penetrate the sky and illuminate every window in the entire Shigwig.
Housewives must get their snoozing children out of bed before the first ray of sunlight falls on their homes, and have them washed, fed, and caught up with other children before the sun falls on the dining table. They all boarded the carriage heading to school, taking their children with them.
After completing all this, housewives will decide and buy ingredients for at least three meals on the short journey home.
A housewife who has ordered a newspaper will take the newspaper from the newspaper box at the door to her husband who is already sitting at the dining table before entering the house, and receive his first smile of the day and a good morning kiss.
Life in Xiacheng District may not be rich, but at least the residents living in Xiacheng District always feel that they are happy.
As for the upper city area, it is a location that will be illuminated by the sun's rays earlier than the lower city area. Families in this area, even if they are not nobles with family crests, usually hire maids to take care of the housework at home.
Therefore, the ladies here will have breakfast comfortably with their husbands and children, thinking about which lady they know well to visit today.
Because the school is right uptown, the children here get on the carriage in front of their house after breakfast, and they can step into the campus in a few minutes.
And the husbands here, even the nobles with family crests, are thinking about the same question as the husbands in the families in the Lower City:
Where can I get money today?
Although there is no shortage of jobs in Siegwig that require the participation of gentlemen, the difference is that the gentlemen in the lower town are working, while the gentlemen in the upper town need to manage the work of these people. It seems that the whole of Siegwig is just that.
Of course, working for others, even if you are in management, is still working for others. In terms of making money, it is not as good as opening a shop with a large number of customers.
It is actually not difficult to achieve a well-established business. In Shigweg, as long as you can obtain a store license from the Commercial Management Bureau for the products you decide to sell, the rest is left to the residents of Shigweg who have strong purchasing power.
I don’t know how many gentlemen in the lower town gave up the opportunity to buy a house in the upper town just to have their own shop in Shigweig.
There is no way, after all, this is Shigwig, the center of the Laurent Empire, and the golden Williamt Palace is built in the center of Shigwig.
Either to report on their work or to conduct business, there is always an endless stream of noble merchants coming to Shigweg from the entire empire. The wealth and consumption driving force they bring are unparalleled in other cities. Incomparable.
Of course, all this is just an appearance.
Siegwig is the capital of the empire, with the Willamette Palace, the administrative center and commercial gathering place of the entire empire, but at the same time, Siegwig also has the largest slum in the entire empire.
This large slum, nicknamed "the sewer" by the "gentlemen in the city", surrounds the entire Shigweg, occupying two-thirds of the area of Shigweg, and has ten Seven out of seven "residents".
However, the so-called poor are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Even though this place is also full of crime and evil, dirty and filthy, there are many well-dressed people among the "poor" in Shigwig.
These people even traveled through the lower city to the upper city to "work". It was not surprising in Shigweg. They were not all idle gangsters or coolies who could only do the lowest level of work.
Valentine is such a person. Today, this young gentleman is still wearing a suit of formal clothes that is not too cheap. He got into a carriage at the junction of the slums and the lower town, and leisurely headed to the upper town.
According to his father, who drank him to death two years ago, their family was once "wealthy", and they still had top nobles who were not inferior to "Fafnna" or "Wolfgang".
Of course, because when his father said this, he had already begun to treat him as a cheap escort and pinched his butt, so Valentin did not take this seriously.
Valentin's current "status" and "wealth" were achieved by his own hard work. After all, his father was just an alcoholic who would take out everything in the family and sell it for alcohol.
Looking out the window at the noisy downtown streets illuminated by the bright sunshine, Valentine considered whether it was time for him to live here.
He saw the newsboys on the other side of the street selling Shigwig morning newspapers to passers-by, heard the "dinging" bells on their waists, and couldn't help showing a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Just a few years ago, he was selling newspapers on the streets like these newsboys. This was a good job he won with his "strength" by beating down more than a dozen "competitors" in the slums with his fists.
And it was precisely because of this job that he met the noble person in his life, Mrs. Jennifer, the director of the Jennifer Nursing Home where he was currently going.
When Mrs. Jennifer stopped the carriage in front of him, Valentine thought that this frighteningly beautiful lady needed a morning newspaper, but instead she let herself board her carriage and pulled herself into her world".
Since then, there has been one less newsboy on the streets of Siegweig's downtown area, Mrs. Jennifer has gained a right-hand man, and Valentin has also got a "new job" that satisfies him.
The carriage drove slowly into the upper city, and after a short journey on the King's Avenue that led directly to the Royal Palace, it turned onto the branch road to Leblanc Street.
However, the carriage will not go there, but will turn again after passing a third of the branch road and come to a smaller branch road called Lane 47.
After that, the carriage would pass through two forks in the road and turn into it. Finally, it stopped in a real "small alley" that was barely enough for the carriage to turn around.
Jennifer Nursing Home is here, and there is only one shop in this "small alley". The carriage stopped in front of this shop.
After Valentin got off the carriage, he opened the door and walked directly into the store. As for the fare, it was the carriage arranged by Mrs. Jennifer and he did not need to pay it himself.
And the coachman driving the carriage always gave Valentine an unpleasant feeling. Maybe this ugly coachman was jealous of him?Valentin didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Jennifer Sanatorium is not an ordinary sanatorium that treats diseases. Valentin himself feels that it is more like a special store with a "club + apothecary shop".
The decoration in the store is a bit too luxurious compared to the location of the store.
After all, this place is so "deep" that no ordinary guest would accidentally walk here.
But Valentin and Jennifer were not worried about the business in the store at all. Just as Valentin just walked into the store, he saw at a glance that there were already three ladies wearing veils, covering their faces, sitting in the waiting room waiting for Jennifer to meet them. "Customer Waiting Area".
The three ladies and Valentin looked at each other. Valentin recognized the eyes of two of the "regular customers" and smiled politely at them and nodded.
The two ladies also nodded to Valentin, and one of them proactively said to him:
"Good morning, Mr. Valentine."
"Good morning, dear lady."
Valentin did not know their names, and at Jennifer's request, he was not allowed to know their names.
"Can you see if Mrs. Jennifer is ready to see us?"
The lady raised her chin under the veil to Valentine, and smiled at him with her rosy lips.
Even though only so much of her face was exposed, Valentin could feel the kindness she unleashed on him, as well as her amazing charm.
"This is what I should do."
Valentin didn't dare to look away and quickly walked into the store.
He was afraid that he would not be able to help but betray Mrs. Jennifer, even if it was just some charming thoughts that stayed in the idea stage, he felt that this was a kind of betrayal.
There was no one in the treatment room. The doors to the lounge, pharmacy, and bathroom were all open. As he went deep into the room, Valentine didn't even see the figure that haunted him.
Finally, Valentin saw Jennifer tending to the plants in the pots in the indoor growing area at the back of the store.
The lady squatted with her back to Valentin. The thin pajamas were put on her slender waist. The bottom of the skirt was clamped on her thighs, which overflowed with large dazzling white skin. It became increasingly difficult for Ting to get up in the morning, and her plump buttocks became more and more sluggish.
Can't watch anymore!
Exhausting the willpower that others of his age could not muster, Valentin gritted his teeth and looked away.
Before Jennifer noticed his arrival, Valentin quickly picked a small piece of ice-leaf grass and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing hard to get out the bitter and cold juice that made his whole body tremble, and suppressed it forcefully. He suppressed the excitement in his body.
After swallowing the juice and grass blades forcibly, Valentine took the initiative and said: "Ahem, madam, good morning."
"Ah."
Mrs. Jennifer snorted back at Valentine, which was very rude, but Valentine was used to it.
She continued to loosen the soil in the flower pot until it was in the most suitable state for the plant. Then she clapped her hands, stood up, came to Valentine's side, and washed her hands at the sink at the door of the planting room.
Valentine's eyes focused on her slender fingers, which were gradually washed away by the clear water and turned white and tender. This was the only thing he felt about Mrs. Jennifer that could stop him from thinking wildly.
"There are already three guests waiting outside. Madam, should I prepare the "low liquid" for you first?"
Retracting his preface, Valentin found that as he grew older, Mrs. Jennifer's hands also made him think about it, so he took the initiative to apply for a job with Jennifer.
"Well, let's go."
With Mrs. Jennifer's consent, Valentine quickly turned around and left, running into the pharmacy room.
Looking at the boy's hurried footsteps, Jennifer smiled, her amber-like golden eyes showing a little satisfaction and a little pride.
This child is very talented, Jennifer has felt so since she first saw Valentin on the street.
Facts have proved that Valentin is not only very talented, but also has a more mature mind than ordinary teenagers, and knows how to suppress desires, which is very, very good.
After running into the pharmacy room, which was always filled with the faint smell of grass, Valentin took a deep breath and then regained his strength.
Mrs. Jennifer was kind to him, brought him uptown, gave him work, and was his benefactor.
Mrs. Jennifer taught him everything selflessly. Even the simplest whitening potion "Low Liquid", which Valentine can now prepare, can serve as the economic cornerstone of a family and benefit countless generations. The secret technique.
The only thing that makes Valentine feel a little regretful is that Mrs. Jennifer only gave him a serious job.
"Snapped!"
Valentin slapped himself in the face as a punishment for being "somewhat regretful". Then he focused his attention, wiped his hands clean, put on a pair of special leather gloves, and began to remove the ingredients from the cabinet where the raw materials of the medicine were stored. , take out bottles of raw materials.
Add three grams of white tail sap and [-] grams of chamomile fruit powder to [-] grams of water at the same time, stir until black, then add six grams of...
Valentine's hand was very steady. After a series of complicated processes, when the liquid in the small glass bottle quickly turned milky white, the work of preparing the "low liquid" was completed.
At this time, Mrs. Jennifer, who had changed into work clothes, a doctor-like white coat, also passed by the door of the pharmacy.
Jennifer, who covered her face with a white veil, nodded to Valentin and signaled Valentin to send the lower fluid to the treatment room, so she came to the treatment room in advance.
Valentin, who was a step behind her, brought three bottles of "low liquid" over and put them down next to a "hospital bed" that looked very comfortable, and then came outside.
Under the expectant eyes of the ladies, Valentine sat behind a small counter. After Mrs. Jennifer rang the small bell connected to his head, he smiled at the ladies and said:
"Madam is ready. Which lady comes first?"
A woman who stood up immediately was sent to the treatment room by Valentine.
After watching Valentin's leaving back and hearing the sound of the door closing when he returned outside, the lady took off the veil covering her face and smiled at Mrs. Jennifer:
"My dear Jennifer, your little assistant is really getting more and more handsome. How long will you raise him before you are willing to let me "have a taste" of him?"
Mrs. Jennifer's face showed some embarrassment at being teased. She reached out and pinched the lady's arm, which only made the lady giggle. Jennifer had no choice but to ask her:
"Can't those noble gentlemen satisfy you?"
"Haha, even we sometimes want to change our tastes and let pure love wash away our dirty souls and bodies."
The lady smiled very comfortably and casually, without showing any heaviness about her "dirty soul and body".
Her job is to be a courtesan in the aristocratic circle. She is the kind of person who enjoys being sought after at aristocratic banquets based on her beauty and appearance.
But she understood very well that she was actually no different from a bartender in a pub or a wandering firefly on the street, except that she was less at risk of getting "heart disease" and had more necessary expenses.
For example, she came to this special sanatorium for "treatment" to restore her skin that had been damaged by cosmetics. Although she had to pay Jennifer a large "treatment fee" every time, she had no choice and even treated Jennifer Tears of gratitude.
After letting the lady remove her makeup, Jennifer began to apply the "low fluid" to her face. Even though the "low fluid" quickly made the sallow skin white and tender, Jennifer couldn't help but say to her :
"You... better pay more attention to your body. If you continue like this, even I won't be able to help you."
The lady's sincere care was particularly helpful. She looked into Jennifer's eyes tenderly, and after Jennifer completed the "treatment" for her, she spoke to Jennifer:
"Thank you... I probably feel the same way...
Recently, a baron's son is very interested in me. I will try to end this life with him. "
"The son of the baron?"
Jennifer looked at the lady curiously and asked: "You chose a baron's son? You are one of the best (social butterfly), why are you suddenly so unambitious?"
The lady sighed helplessly and said to Jennifer: "Well, if it wasn't because of Princess Aurora's disappearance, Prince Cassio's anger showed no sign of stopping. Recently, the gatherings of the nobles have been much less...
I came here for tonight's banquet. It is said that tonight is a banquet organized by Princess Catalina. Some people say that the princess seems to have found a way to appease Prince Cassio.
But in this turbulent time, no one dares to attract too much attention, right?I didn't dare to go to the princes and princesses, so I had to go to the little nobles. "
The implication of her words was already obvious. At a banquet attended by the prince and princess, the children of the great nobles would definitely gather around the prince and princess. She did not have the guts to join in that circle.
"Yeah, that's right... Then, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you."
Jennifer rang the bell and let Valentin come in to say goodbye to the lady. The situation of the other two ladies was also very different. They were both socialites in the aristocratic circle and Jennifer's main clients.
The remuneration provided by these ladies for Jennifer's "treatment" services was very generous. Excluding a little material fee and their own labor, the three ladies brought half a month's sales to Jennifer Nursing Home. What's interesting is that , both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.
There were no more customers in the morning. Jennifer estimated that there would be a few other "old customers" in the afternoon, so she came to sit down at the counter outside and nodded to Valentin who was sitting behind the counter. finger.
Valentin immediately took out a thick notebook from under the counter, and the two of them started today's teaching like a student and a teacher.
During this process, Valentin kept his head down and stared at his notebook, devoting all his energy to learning the knowledge imparted by Jennifer. This not only allowed him to show no rudeness to his beloved Ms. Jennifer, His performance also enables him to absorb knowledge quickly.
"...Question, besides cooling down the body temperature, what effect does the juice of ice leaf grass have if taken directly? What is the corresponding dosage?"
"Regulating the gastrointestinal tract, diarrhea, and death are respectively 3 grams, 10 to 20 grams, and more than 35 grams!"
Jennifer happened to ask about something that Valentin had already learned on his own and even used, so Valentin accurately gave Jennifer the correct answer.
"Yes, very good." Jennifer nodded with satisfaction. She was about to ask Valentine the next question when suddenly, both of them heard the sound of the carriage approaching.
guest?
Valentine looked outside the shop. The carriage that drove into the alley and approached the shop was completely black. It looked like the carriages on the street, nothing special.
But Jennifer recognized at a glance that the format of this carriage was not right, and the overall size was larger than an ordinary carriage.
This kind of special carriage, which may have an iron plate embedded in the middle of the thickened carriage wall, is not something that ordinary people would travel on.
The coachman lowered his head and couldn't see his face. However, the average coachman would not have such an exaggerated and muscular body, and it would be difficult for him to wear clothes so meticulously, let alone take the initiative to put on his clothes after the carriage stopped. The carriage door was opened, and a step stool was put down for the guests inside to step on and get out of the carriage.When Princess Catalina, who did not conceal her true appearance, got off the carriage and stepped into the door of Jennifer's nursing home with a smile, both Valentine and Jennifer couldn't help but fall in love with this charming and amiable girl and marveled. .
"His Royal Highness?!"
Jennifer finally reacted and ignored Valentin. She quickly stepped forward to greet Catalina.
Valentine retracted his head behind the counter and couldn't help but keep looking at the Royal Highness, whom he had only seen in newspapers before.
The real charm of the Royal Highness was even more stunning than what was shown in the newspaper. Valentin lowered his body in shame. He didn’t know if he was qualified to salute to the Royal Highness. He also didn’t know that he should salute to the Royal Highness. What kind of salute should he perform? So he could only shrink his body in embarrassment and try his best to prevent His Highness from noticing him.
"You are the owner here, Jennifer?"
Catalina did not seem to notice the shrinking boy behind the counter. She looked at Jennifer and then asked before Jennifer could finish her reply:
"Are you the [Gardener] of the [Flower Garden]? Or the [Pharmacist] of the [Vitality School]?"
Jennifer's body trembled slightly, and from the eyes on her lowered head, she could catch a glimpse of the muscular coachman who had blocked the door of the store.
Although Catalina's temperament has always been as amiable, fresh and pleasant as the girl next door, but because of this, the carriage driver's figure is particularly terrifying, full of a sense of oppression that sweeps across the battlefield, even if Jennifer is level 5 As a monster user, she did not dare to make a mistake under this vague sense of threat, and obediently replied to Katarina:
"I am [Pharmacist], Your Majesty."
Catalina's eyes lit up, "Great! I... let's go in and talk. I have a potion that I need your help to make."
After saying that, Catalina stepped forward and took Jennifer's hand, pulling the still surprised shopkeeper to the room at the back of the shop.
"what……"
Valentin opened his mouth.
What is a flower garden?What is the Vital School?gardener?pharmacist?
Mrs. Jennifer is a pharmacist. This is a truth that Valentin can understand and accept. However, this young man who has not yet called Jennifer a "mentor" only understands the most superficial truth.
He subconsciously glanced at the door leading to the back corridor.
Valentine swore that no matter what the reason was, he had no intention of following him to take a look, but the tall and scary coachman had already stood beside Valentine at some unknown time. .
An oppressive feeling that made him unable to breathe was ruthlessly released from this "coachman"'s body, as if he would crush Valentine's head with one finger in the next second.
Time passed minute by minute, and in Valentin's feeling, time seemed to have passed by for several epochs, but also as if only a second or two had passed.
Just when Valentine was about to collapse, Princess Catalina and Mrs. Jennifer walked out from behind the door again.
The carriage driver standing next to Valentine immediately walked out, opened the carriage door for Princess Catalina, and stood aside respectfully.
saved……
Valentin gasped for air, as if he had just been rescued from drowning, his whole body was soaked, and there were drops of sweat falling in front of his eyes.
Through the sweat, he saw that Her Royal Highness got into the carriage and left with satisfaction without saying anything to Mrs. Jennifer.
He turned his head to look at Mrs. Jennifer, and couldn't help but show an expression of astonishment again.
To be honest, he was actually very curious, but he knew that he shouldn't be curious. The reason why he showed an inappropriate expression of astonishment was because Valentin saw that Mrs. Jennifer's face was very strange, as if she was suppressing a smile, and she seemed to be laughing. Confused about something.
"Well..." Mrs. Jennifer glanced at him, and shook her head at Valentin inexplicably, as if talking to him, and as if talking to herself: "It's okay, it's really okay, don't worry about it. .”
"what?"
"fine."
Mrs. Jennifer shook her head again. She herself couldn't understand why Princess Catalina asked her for that potion...
No, it stands to reason...
no no no...
She still couldn't understand, at the very least, why a girl would buy "that" potion that only works on women?
Why?
No, why should it be?
It’s still Princess Catalina!
Still a princess!
……
It should only be needed for the work of my spies, right?
Jennifer fumbled through her pocket for a badge with an eye on it.
This was the reward Princess Catalina paid her, a badge belonging to the [Infinite Eye] and a peripheral intelligence worker.
This badge is of immeasurable value to Jennifer, as it can at least ward off [-]% of the trouble in Laurent's territory.
Although Jennifer knew very well that the price was that she had to keep the "secret" from Princess Catalina!
In the future, maybe even after tonight's banquet, no matter how big news Sigwig makes, he can't show any abnormality!
Jennifer glanced at Valentin again, she thought for a while and said to Valentin:
"Valentin, from now on, you will live here. You can't step out of the store until I agree that you can go back. Do you understand?"
"Huh?" Valentine was stunned for a moment.
He first subconsciously nodded to Jennifer stupidly.
This was his subconscious belief in Jennifer unconditionally.
Then he came back to his senses, thought about the cause and effect, and nodded seriously to Jennifer.
This was a warning and reminder that he realized the seriousness of the problem and understood the implication of Jennifer's words.
Finally, Valentin thought about it again and nodded to Jennifer with twinkling eyes.
Ah...if you live in the store...can't you get along with Mrs. Jennifer...day and night?
Isn't this exactly his dream?
His movements were also very strange. Jennifer thought that Valentin was frightened by Her Royal Highness's guards, and gave Valentin a distressed look.
This boy is her intended "apprentice". Once his "knowledge" reaches a certain level, she will prepare to bring him into the world of monster users.
Not to mention the "master and apprentice" pair here, Catalina, who "got what she wanted", is sitting in the carriage, excitedly looking at a small glass bottle in her hand.
Some potions emitting an ambiguous pale pink light were swaying in this small glass bottle, and the girl's shy, excited, shy, but determined eyes were all reflected on the glass bottle.
The carriage followed the completely opposite path from when Valentine came over in the morning. It quickly turned off the branch road, came to the King's Avenue, and headed straight in the direction of the palace.
Karl, who was driving the carriage, only needed to take off his hat, and he could drive the carriage directly into the palace, because he was both the young commander of the Imperial Guards Corps and the bodyguard of Princess Catalina. Where he was, It must mean that Her Royal Highness is here.
The review of identity is meaningless and unnecessary, because outsiders do not need to question the relationship between the Lucivid family and the Williamt family.
Catalina's mother, whom Carl calls aunt.
However, the carriage did not go to the starting point of the King's Road and enter the Willamette Palace. Instead, it turned at the St. George's Square in front of the Royal Palace, which was very close, and arrived at the First Hotel Schigwig.
Don't get me wrong, this hotel is called "The First" and it is indeed the largest and most luxurious hotel in Siegwig.
Buildings with the same name of "First" include "First Square", "First Restaurant", "First Theater", "First Park" and so on.
This is not because Sigwig lacks names to be named after. These "firsts" were named by the previous emperor's daughter, Ekaterina. The owner of these places was also Ekaterina.
Since September 9, there was still peace and harmony in Saidaweil, as if nothing happened. Catherine was lifted from the ground by William IV, and she immediately left the palace, but she did not I immediately went back to Cedarville and stayed at the First Hotel.
Katerina came here just to pay a daily visit to Ekaterina and tell her some news.
"Oh? He will arrive tonight?"
Ekaterina raised her eyebrows in interest.
She was soaking herself in a bathhouse that could be called a swimming pool. Her recent "vacation" in Siegwig had gradually allowed her to recover from a lot of the fatigue she had accumulated in previous years, and she looked even more beautiful.
"To be precise, it was the afternoon, about four hours later, he arrived.
I am going to hold a banquet here to entertain him tonight, and I will ask Cassio to come over and tell him that Aurora is saved. "
As Catalina spoke, her eyes fell on her aunt's perfect figure, and her eyes couldn't help flashing with envy.
The Jennifer she met just now had used the "perfect" potion unique to the vitality school to achieve such a good figure.
But her aunt has neither used any medicine nor become a monster. She has grown so perfectly naturally that she has a beauty that makes her jealous and envious.
"Well... although I'm pretty sure that Ye He can't find Aurora, and Aurora must not be in Sigwig, but... it's not bad to let Ye He calm down Cassio and prepare for the festival. here you go."
Ekaterina didn't pay attention to Katerina's gaze. Even if a man was standing by the bathtub, she wouldn't care. She was absolutely arrogant, so arrogant that she could understand that no man standing next to her would dare to say anything to her. She became coveted...
hiss……
She subconsciously touched her neck, where she was almost bitten!
...Except Ye He.
However, he is not the kind of man whose reason is controlled by boring lust. If he comes here at this time, maybe he will strip off his clothes generously, come down and take a bath with him, and talk about how he terminated Saida Will's "Storm" is showing off this to himself.
In fact, Ekaterina had only met Ye He a few times, and had spoken less than a hundred sentences, but Ekaterina felt that she knew Ye He very well, and she was full of this understanding. confidence.
Someone who can make her curious and can solve the "trouble" for her family is coming. This is the attitude of Yekaterina's Ye He who is about to come to Shigweg.
She welcomed Ye He very much.
"I won't be attending the banquet, but after the banquet is over, you can bring Ye He up to see me."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll get ready first."
Caterina saw Yekaterina waving to her and left the bathroom. Yekaterina wanted to see Ye He, which was normal, but not seeing him would be abnormal.
As for whether there will be any sparks between this aunt and Ye He... Katarina is very smart, so she will not think about such stupid questions.
In her eyes, Ye He and Ekaterina are simply two people carved from the same mold. Although they have different genders and different identities, their arrogance in their bones is exactly the same!
No matter how perfectly Ye He hides, his actions cannot deceive anyone. Katerina, who is in charge of the [Infinite Eye], has long judged from Ye He's behavior that he and Yekaterina are very similar in nature.
For such two people, when they meet, they do not fight to the death. Katerina feels that this is because Yekaterina is giving her face.
"Carl."
"I'm here."
After getting off this floor, Catalina returned to Karl who was guarding here, and began to explain to Karl:
"Send the message and use my name to invite all female nobles and noble women with a Sigwig rating of "7" or above to attend tonight's banquet."
"Yes."
"Tell Cassio that Yehe is here and will be here tonight."
"Yes."
"Tonight's banquet attendants, music band, and chefs all only want women!"
"Yes."
"Um……"
As Catalina walked, she was thinking about what else she needed to explain. After thinking about it, she said to Karl: "Ask my mother for a team of Redbud Knights for me. As a guard for tonight's banquet, please help me when you arrive." I'm guarding outside, and no man is allowed in!"
"Yes."
Karl responded simply and neatly, saying that he had nothing to say to this cousin who had made his "ambition" obvious.
He knew very well that no matter what Katarina did or paid, her efforts... were all in vain.
People like Ye He...
Unless a woman is very useful to Ye He, or he is interested in it, he will only talk to her. Otherwise... the more deliberately, the more counterproductive it will be.
"Well, there's nothing else, just go and do your work."
Catalina's attention was not on Karl, and she could not see the distressed look the cousin cast on her, so Karl had no choice but to turn and leave.
"This time..." Catalina took out the small bottle containing the pink potion, her eyes filled with determination, "You will not escape my grasp!"
When she thought that Ye He might be angry, angry, or even indifferent to herself... Catalina couldn't help but smile strangely.
Working hours in Siegwig "end" earlier than in any other city.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun turned to the west, but had not yet completely started to set. It had already plunged many areas of Shigwig, which faces east, into shadow.
This time is when most residents in the upper and lower cities get off work, and people return home leisurely in the shadows that are no longer stuffy.
At the same time, a steam train, which rarely arrived on time, slowly entered the Siegwig train station.
The crowds at the train station here are not as crowded as those at Cedarville.
After all, this is the capital of the empire. Security personnel armed with steam firearms can greatly improve the civilization of the crowd and achieve orderly entry and exit.
A gentleman carrying a small suitcase and wearing a black high-end formal suit stepped off the steam train at the end of the crowd.
Lifting the brim of his hat, he looked across the crowds of people and looked at Higwig outside the station, who was preparing to enter the evening. A playful smile appeared on his handsome face of oriental race.
"Good afternoon, Higwig."
Go, go, go!
(End of this chapter)
"Ding ding! Ding ding!"
Before the first ray of sunshine appeared from the horizon, the newsboys who got up early received today's Cedarville Morning News from the newspaper office.
This stack of newspapers weighing nearly three kilograms may require them to run around all morning to earn one silver pound. (1 gold pound = 1 silver pounds = 20 copper pounds)
But every newsboy was running happily. Newsboy hats could not hide the smiles on their faces. The bells hanging on their waists kept shaking, gradually waking up the whole city.
Most of the residents living in the lower town of Siegweg are woken up by the crisp but somewhat disturbing sound of bells in the morning.
Except for a very small number of residents whose work allows them to change positions and continue to sleep, almost everyone else will struggle to get out of bed.
Although the sky outside the window has just become bright, soon the sun will penetrate the sky and illuminate every window in the entire Shigwig.
Housewives must get their snoozing children out of bed before the first ray of sunlight falls on their homes, and have them washed, fed, and caught up with other children before the sun falls on the dining table. They all boarded the carriage heading to school, taking their children with them.
After completing all this, housewives will decide and buy ingredients for at least three meals on the short journey home.
A housewife who has ordered a newspaper will take the newspaper from the newspaper box at the door to her husband who is already sitting at the dining table before entering the house, and receive his first smile of the day and a good morning kiss.
Life in Xiacheng District may not be rich, but at least the residents living in Xiacheng District always feel that they are happy.
As for the upper city area, it is a location that will be illuminated by the sun's rays earlier than the lower city area. Families in this area, even if they are not nobles with family crests, usually hire maids to take care of the housework at home.
Therefore, the ladies here will have breakfast comfortably with their husbands and children, thinking about which lady they know well to visit today.
Because the school is right uptown, the children here get on the carriage in front of their house after breakfast, and they can step into the campus in a few minutes.
And the husbands here, even the nobles with family crests, are thinking about the same question as the husbands in the families in the Lower City:
Where can I get money today?
Although there is no shortage of jobs in Siegwig that require the participation of gentlemen, the difference is that the gentlemen in the lower town are working, while the gentlemen in the upper town need to manage the work of these people. It seems that the whole of Siegwig is just that.
Of course, working for others, even if you are in management, is still working for others. In terms of making money, it is not as good as opening a shop with a large number of customers.
It is actually not difficult to achieve a well-established business. In Shigweg, as long as you can obtain a store license from the Commercial Management Bureau for the products you decide to sell, the rest is left to the residents of Shigweg who have strong purchasing power.
I don’t know how many gentlemen in the lower town gave up the opportunity to buy a house in the upper town just to have their own shop in Shigweig.
There is no way, after all, this is Shigwig, the center of the Laurent Empire, and the golden Williamt Palace is built in the center of Shigwig.
Either to report on their work or to conduct business, there is always an endless stream of noble merchants coming to Shigweg from the entire empire. The wealth and consumption driving force they bring are unparalleled in other cities. Incomparable.
Of course, all this is just an appearance.
Siegwig is the capital of the empire, with the Willamette Palace, the administrative center and commercial gathering place of the entire empire, but at the same time, Siegwig also has the largest slum in the entire empire.
This large slum, nicknamed "the sewer" by the "gentlemen in the city", surrounds the entire Shigweg, occupying two-thirds of the area of Shigweg, and has ten Seven out of seven "residents".
However, the so-called poor are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Even though this place is also full of crime and evil, dirty and filthy, there are many well-dressed people among the "poor" in Shigwig.
These people even traveled through the lower city to the upper city to "work". It was not surprising in Shigweg. They were not all idle gangsters or coolies who could only do the lowest level of work.
Valentine is such a person. Today, this young gentleman is still wearing a suit of formal clothes that is not too cheap. He got into a carriage at the junction of the slums and the lower town, and leisurely headed to the upper town.
According to his father, who drank him to death two years ago, their family was once "wealthy", and they still had top nobles who were not inferior to "Fafnna" or "Wolfgang".
Of course, because when his father said this, he had already begun to treat him as a cheap escort and pinched his butt, so Valentin did not take this seriously.
Valentin's current "status" and "wealth" were achieved by his own hard work. After all, his father was just an alcoholic who would take out everything in the family and sell it for alcohol.
Looking out the window at the noisy downtown streets illuminated by the bright sunshine, Valentine considered whether it was time for him to live here.
He saw the newsboys on the other side of the street selling Shigwig morning newspapers to passers-by, heard the "dinging" bells on their waists, and couldn't help showing a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Just a few years ago, he was selling newspapers on the streets like these newsboys. This was a good job he won with his "strength" by beating down more than a dozen "competitors" in the slums with his fists.
And it was precisely because of this job that he met the noble person in his life, Mrs. Jennifer, the director of the Jennifer Nursing Home where he was currently going.
When Mrs. Jennifer stopped the carriage in front of him, Valentine thought that this frighteningly beautiful lady needed a morning newspaper, but instead she let herself board her carriage and pulled herself into her world".
Since then, there has been one less newsboy on the streets of Siegweig's downtown area, Mrs. Jennifer has gained a right-hand man, and Valentin has also got a "new job" that satisfies him.
The carriage drove slowly into the upper city, and after a short journey on the King's Avenue that led directly to the Royal Palace, it turned onto the branch road to Leblanc Street.
However, the carriage will not go there, but will turn again after passing a third of the branch road and come to a smaller branch road called Lane 47.
After that, the carriage would pass through two forks in the road and turn into it. Finally, it stopped in a real "small alley" that was barely enough for the carriage to turn around.
Jennifer Nursing Home is here, and there is only one shop in this "small alley". The carriage stopped in front of this shop.
After Valentin got off the carriage, he opened the door and walked directly into the store. As for the fare, it was the carriage arranged by Mrs. Jennifer and he did not need to pay it himself.
And the coachman driving the carriage always gave Valentine an unpleasant feeling. Maybe this ugly coachman was jealous of him?Valentin didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Jennifer Sanatorium is not an ordinary sanatorium that treats diseases. Valentin himself feels that it is more like a special store with a "club + apothecary shop".
The decoration in the store is a bit too luxurious compared to the location of the store.
After all, this place is so "deep" that no ordinary guest would accidentally walk here.
But Valentin and Jennifer were not worried about the business in the store at all. Just as Valentin just walked into the store, he saw at a glance that there were already three ladies wearing veils, covering their faces, sitting in the waiting room waiting for Jennifer to meet them. "Customer Waiting Area".
The three ladies and Valentin looked at each other. Valentin recognized the eyes of two of the "regular customers" and smiled politely at them and nodded.
The two ladies also nodded to Valentin, and one of them proactively said to him:
"Good morning, Mr. Valentine."
"Good morning, dear lady."
Valentin did not know their names, and at Jennifer's request, he was not allowed to know their names.
"Can you see if Mrs. Jennifer is ready to see us?"
The lady raised her chin under the veil to Valentine, and smiled at him with her rosy lips.
Even though only so much of her face was exposed, Valentin could feel the kindness she unleashed on him, as well as her amazing charm.
"This is what I should do."
Valentin didn't dare to look away and quickly walked into the store.
He was afraid that he would not be able to help but betray Mrs. Jennifer, even if it was just some charming thoughts that stayed in the idea stage, he felt that this was a kind of betrayal.
There was no one in the treatment room. The doors to the lounge, pharmacy, and bathroom were all open. As he went deep into the room, Valentine didn't even see the figure that haunted him.
Finally, Valentin saw Jennifer tending to the plants in the pots in the indoor growing area at the back of the store.
The lady squatted with her back to Valentin. The thin pajamas were put on her slender waist. The bottom of the skirt was clamped on her thighs, which overflowed with large dazzling white skin. It became increasingly difficult for Ting to get up in the morning, and her plump buttocks became more and more sluggish.
Can't watch anymore!
Exhausting the willpower that others of his age could not muster, Valentin gritted his teeth and looked away.
Before Jennifer noticed his arrival, Valentin quickly picked a small piece of ice-leaf grass and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing hard to get out the bitter and cold juice that made his whole body tremble, and suppressed it forcefully. He suppressed the excitement in his body.
After swallowing the juice and grass blades forcibly, Valentine took the initiative and said: "Ahem, madam, good morning."
"Ah."
Mrs. Jennifer snorted back at Valentine, which was very rude, but Valentine was used to it.
She continued to loosen the soil in the flower pot until it was in the most suitable state for the plant. Then she clapped her hands, stood up, came to Valentine's side, and washed her hands at the sink at the door of the planting room.
Valentine's eyes focused on her slender fingers, which were gradually washed away by the clear water and turned white and tender. This was the only thing he felt about Mrs. Jennifer that could stop him from thinking wildly.
"There are already three guests waiting outside. Madam, should I prepare the "low liquid" for you first?"
Retracting his preface, Valentin found that as he grew older, Mrs. Jennifer's hands also made him think about it, so he took the initiative to apply for a job with Jennifer.
"Well, let's go."
With Mrs. Jennifer's consent, Valentine quickly turned around and left, running into the pharmacy room.
Looking at the boy's hurried footsteps, Jennifer smiled, her amber-like golden eyes showing a little satisfaction and a little pride.
This child is very talented, Jennifer has felt so since she first saw Valentin on the street.
Facts have proved that Valentin is not only very talented, but also has a more mature mind than ordinary teenagers, and knows how to suppress desires, which is very, very good.
After running into the pharmacy room, which was always filled with the faint smell of grass, Valentin took a deep breath and then regained his strength.
Mrs. Jennifer was kind to him, brought him uptown, gave him work, and was his benefactor.
Mrs. Jennifer taught him everything selflessly. Even the simplest whitening potion "Low Liquid", which Valentine can now prepare, can serve as the economic cornerstone of a family and benefit countless generations. The secret technique.
The only thing that makes Valentine feel a little regretful is that Mrs. Jennifer only gave him a serious job.
"Snapped!"
Valentin slapped himself in the face as a punishment for being "somewhat regretful". Then he focused his attention, wiped his hands clean, put on a pair of special leather gloves, and began to remove the ingredients from the cabinet where the raw materials of the medicine were stored. , take out bottles of raw materials.
Add three grams of white tail sap and [-] grams of chamomile fruit powder to [-] grams of water at the same time, stir until black, then add six grams of...
Valentine's hand was very steady. After a series of complicated processes, when the liquid in the small glass bottle quickly turned milky white, the work of preparing the "low liquid" was completed.
At this time, Mrs. Jennifer, who had changed into work clothes, a doctor-like white coat, also passed by the door of the pharmacy.
Jennifer, who covered her face with a white veil, nodded to Valentin and signaled Valentin to send the lower fluid to the treatment room, so she came to the treatment room in advance.
Valentin, who was a step behind her, brought three bottles of "low liquid" over and put them down next to a "hospital bed" that looked very comfortable, and then came outside.
Under the expectant eyes of the ladies, Valentine sat behind a small counter. After Mrs. Jennifer rang the small bell connected to his head, he smiled at the ladies and said:
"Madam is ready. Which lady comes first?"
A woman who stood up immediately was sent to the treatment room by Valentine.
After watching Valentin's leaving back and hearing the sound of the door closing when he returned outside, the lady took off the veil covering her face and smiled at Mrs. Jennifer:
"My dear Jennifer, your little assistant is really getting more and more handsome. How long will you raise him before you are willing to let me "have a taste" of him?"
Mrs. Jennifer's face showed some embarrassment at being teased. She reached out and pinched the lady's arm, which only made the lady giggle. Jennifer had no choice but to ask her:
"Can't those noble gentlemen satisfy you?"
"Haha, even we sometimes want to change our tastes and let pure love wash away our dirty souls and bodies."
The lady smiled very comfortably and casually, without showing any heaviness about her "dirty soul and body".
Her job is to be a courtesan in the aristocratic circle. She is the kind of person who enjoys being sought after at aristocratic banquets based on her beauty and appearance.
But she understood very well that she was actually no different from a bartender in a pub or a wandering firefly on the street, except that she was less at risk of getting "heart disease" and had more necessary expenses.
For example, she came to this special sanatorium for "treatment" to restore her skin that had been damaged by cosmetics. Although she had to pay Jennifer a large "treatment fee" every time, she had no choice and even treated Jennifer Tears of gratitude.
After letting the lady remove her makeup, Jennifer began to apply the "low fluid" to her face. Even though the "low fluid" quickly made the sallow skin white and tender, Jennifer couldn't help but say to her :
"You... better pay more attention to your body. If you continue like this, even I won't be able to help you."
The lady's sincere care was particularly helpful. She looked into Jennifer's eyes tenderly, and after Jennifer completed the "treatment" for her, she spoke to Jennifer:
"Thank you... I probably feel the same way...
Recently, a baron's son is very interested in me. I will try to end this life with him. "
"The son of the baron?"
Jennifer looked at the lady curiously and asked: "You chose a baron's son? You are one of the best (social butterfly), why are you suddenly so unambitious?"
The lady sighed helplessly and said to Jennifer: "Well, if it wasn't because of Princess Aurora's disappearance, Prince Cassio's anger showed no sign of stopping. Recently, the gatherings of the nobles have been much less...
I came here for tonight's banquet. It is said that tonight is a banquet organized by Princess Catalina. Some people say that the princess seems to have found a way to appease Prince Cassio.
But in this turbulent time, no one dares to attract too much attention, right?I didn't dare to go to the princes and princesses, so I had to go to the little nobles. "
The implication of her words was already obvious. At a banquet attended by the prince and princess, the children of the great nobles would definitely gather around the prince and princess. She did not have the guts to join in that circle.
"Yeah, that's right... Then, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you."
Jennifer rang the bell and let Valentin come in to say goodbye to the lady. The situation of the other two ladies was also very different. They were both socialites in the aristocratic circle and Jennifer's main clients.
The remuneration provided by these ladies for Jennifer's "treatment" services was very generous. Excluding a little material fee and their own labor, the three ladies brought half a month's sales to Jennifer Nursing Home. What's interesting is that , both parties are very satisfied with this transaction.
There were no more customers in the morning. Jennifer estimated that there would be a few other "old customers" in the afternoon, so she came to sit down at the counter outside and nodded to Valentin who was sitting behind the counter. finger.
Valentin immediately took out a thick notebook from under the counter, and the two of them started today's teaching like a student and a teacher.
During this process, Valentin kept his head down and stared at his notebook, devoting all his energy to learning the knowledge imparted by Jennifer. This not only allowed him to show no rudeness to his beloved Ms. Jennifer, His performance also enables him to absorb knowledge quickly.
"...Question, besides cooling down the body temperature, what effect does the juice of ice leaf grass have if taken directly? What is the corresponding dosage?"
"Regulating the gastrointestinal tract, diarrhea, and death are respectively 3 grams, 10 to 20 grams, and more than 35 grams!"
Jennifer happened to ask about something that Valentin had already learned on his own and even used, so Valentin accurately gave Jennifer the correct answer.
"Yes, very good." Jennifer nodded with satisfaction. She was about to ask Valentine the next question when suddenly, both of them heard the sound of the carriage approaching.
guest?
Valentine looked outside the shop. The carriage that drove into the alley and approached the shop was completely black. It looked like the carriages on the street, nothing special.
But Jennifer recognized at a glance that the format of this carriage was not right, and the overall size was larger than an ordinary carriage.
This kind of special carriage, which may have an iron plate embedded in the middle of the thickened carriage wall, is not something that ordinary people would travel on.
The coachman lowered his head and couldn't see his face. However, the average coachman would not have such an exaggerated and muscular body, and it would be difficult for him to wear clothes so meticulously, let alone take the initiative to put on his clothes after the carriage stopped. The carriage door was opened, and a step stool was put down for the guests inside to step on and get out of the carriage.When Princess Catalina, who did not conceal her true appearance, got off the carriage and stepped into the door of Jennifer's nursing home with a smile, both Valentine and Jennifer couldn't help but fall in love with this charming and amiable girl and marveled. .
"His Royal Highness?!"
Jennifer finally reacted and ignored Valentin. She quickly stepped forward to greet Catalina.
Valentine retracted his head behind the counter and couldn't help but keep looking at the Royal Highness, whom he had only seen in newspapers before.
The real charm of the Royal Highness was even more stunning than what was shown in the newspaper. Valentin lowered his body in shame. He didn’t know if he was qualified to salute to the Royal Highness. He also didn’t know that he should salute to the Royal Highness. What kind of salute should he perform? So he could only shrink his body in embarrassment and try his best to prevent His Highness from noticing him.
"You are the owner here, Jennifer?"
Catalina did not seem to notice the shrinking boy behind the counter. She looked at Jennifer and then asked before Jennifer could finish her reply:
"Are you the [Gardener] of the [Flower Garden]? Or the [Pharmacist] of the [Vitality School]?"
Jennifer's body trembled slightly, and from the eyes on her lowered head, she could catch a glimpse of the muscular coachman who had blocked the door of the store.
Although Catalina's temperament has always been as amiable, fresh and pleasant as the girl next door, but because of this, the carriage driver's figure is particularly terrifying, full of a sense of oppression that sweeps across the battlefield, even if Jennifer is level 5 As a monster user, she did not dare to make a mistake under this vague sense of threat, and obediently replied to Katarina:
"I am [Pharmacist], Your Majesty."
Catalina's eyes lit up, "Great! I... let's go in and talk. I have a potion that I need your help to make."
After saying that, Catalina stepped forward and took Jennifer's hand, pulling the still surprised shopkeeper to the room at the back of the shop.
"what……"
Valentin opened his mouth.
What is a flower garden?What is the Vital School?gardener?pharmacist?
Mrs. Jennifer is a pharmacist. This is a truth that Valentin can understand and accept. However, this young man who has not yet called Jennifer a "mentor" only understands the most superficial truth.
He subconsciously glanced at the door leading to the back corridor.
Valentine swore that no matter what the reason was, he had no intention of following him to take a look, but the tall and scary coachman had already stood beside Valentine at some unknown time. .
An oppressive feeling that made him unable to breathe was ruthlessly released from this "coachman"'s body, as if he would crush Valentine's head with one finger in the next second.
Time passed minute by minute, and in Valentin's feeling, time seemed to have passed by for several epochs, but also as if only a second or two had passed.
Just when Valentine was about to collapse, Princess Catalina and Mrs. Jennifer walked out from behind the door again.
The carriage driver standing next to Valentine immediately walked out, opened the carriage door for Princess Catalina, and stood aside respectfully.
saved……
Valentin gasped for air, as if he had just been rescued from drowning, his whole body was soaked, and there were drops of sweat falling in front of his eyes.
Through the sweat, he saw that Her Royal Highness got into the carriage and left with satisfaction without saying anything to Mrs. Jennifer.
He turned his head to look at Mrs. Jennifer, and couldn't help but show an expression of astonishment again.
To be honest, he was actually very curious, but he knew that he shouldn't be curious. The reason why he showed an inappropriate expression of astonishment was because Valentin saw that Mrs. Jennifer's face was very strange, as if she was suppressing a smile, and she seemed to be laughing. Confused about something.
"Well..." Mrs. Jennifer glanced at him, and shook her head at Valentin inexplicably, as if talking to him, and as if talking to herself: "It's okay, it's really okay, don't worry about it. .”
"what?"
"fine."
Mrs. Jennifer shook her head again. She herself couldn't understand why Princess Catalina asked her for that potion...
No, it stands to reason...
no no no...
She still couldn't understand, at the very least, why a girl would buy "that" potion that only works on women?
Why?
No, why should it be?
It’s still Princess Catalina!
Still a princess!
……
It should only be needed for the work of my spies, right?
Jennifer fumbled through her pocket for a badge with an eye on it.
This was the reward Princess Catalina paid her, a badge belonging to the [Infinite Eye] and a peripheral intelligence worker.
This badge is of immeasurable value to Jennifer, as it can at least ward off [-]% of the trouble in Laurent's territory.
Although Jennifer knew very well that the price was that she had to keep the "secret" from Princess Catalina!
In the future, maybe even after tonight's banquet, no matter how big news Sigwig makes, he can't show any abnormality!
Jennifer glanced at Valentin again, she thought for a while and said to Valentin:
"Valentin, from now on, you will live here. You can't step out of the store until I agree that you can go back. Do you understand?"
"Huh?" Valentine was stunned for a moment.
He first subconsciously nodded to Jennifer stupidly.
This was his subconscious belief in Jennifer unconditionally.
Then he came back to his senses, thought about the cause and effect, and nodded seriously to Jennifer.
This was a warning and reminder that he realized the seriousness of the problem and understood the implication of Jennifer's words.
Finally, Valentin thought about it again and nodded to Jennifer with twinkling eyes.
Ah...if you live in the store...can't you get along with Mrs. Jennifer...day and night?
Isn't this exactly his dream?
His movements were also very strange. Jennifer thought that Valentin was frightened by Her Royal Highness's guards, and gave Valentin a distressed look.
This boy is her intended "apprentice". Once his "knowledge" reaches a certain level, she will prepare to bring him into the world of monster users.
Not to mention the "master and apprentice" pair here, Catalina, who "got what she wanted", is sitting in the carriage, excitedly looking at a small glass bottle in her hand.
Some potions emitting an ambiguous pale pink light were swaying in this small glass bottle, and the girl's shy, excited, shy, but determined eyes were all reflected on the glass bottle.
The carriage followed the completely opposite path from when Valentine came over in the morning. It quickly turned off the branch road, came to the King's Avenue, and headed straight in the direction of the palace.
Karl, who was driving the carriage, only needed to take off his hat, and he could drive the carriage directly into the palace, because he was both the young commander of the Imperial Guards Corps and the bodyguard of Princess Catalina. Where he was, It must mean that Her Royal Highness is here.
The review of identity is meaningless and unnecessary, because outsiders do not need to question the relationship between the Lucivid family and the Williamt family.
Catalina's mother, whom Carl calls aunt.
However, the carriage did not go to the starting point of the King's Road and enter the Willamette Palace. Instead, it turned at the St. George's Square in front of the Royal Palace, which was very close, and arrived at the First Hotel Schigwig.
Don't get me wrong, this hotel is called "The First" and it is indeed the largest and most luxurious hotel in Siegwig.
Buildings with the same name of "First" include "First Square", "First Restaurant", "First Theater", "First Park" and so on.
This is not because Sigwig lacks names to be named after. These "firsts" were named by the previous emperor's daughter, Ekaterina. The owner of these places was also Ekaterina.
Since September 9, there was still peace and harmony in Saidaweil, as if nothing happened. Catherine was lifted from the ground by William IV, and she immediately left the palace, but she did not I immediately went back to Cedarville and stayed at the First Hotel.
Katerina came here just to pay a daily visit to Ekaterina and tell her some news.
"Oh? He will arrive tonight?"
Ekaterina raised her eyebrows in interest.
She was soaking herself in a bathhouse that could be called a swimming pool. Her recent "vacation" in Siegwig had gradually allowed her to recover from a lot of the fatigue she had accumulated in previous years, and she looked even more beautiful.
"To be precise, it was the afternoon, about four hours later, he arrived.
I am going to hold a banquet here to entertain him tonight, and I will ask Cassio to come over and tell him that Aurora is saved. "
As Catalina spoke, her eyes fell on her aunt's perfect figure, and her eyes couldn't help flashing with envy.
The Jennifer she met just now had used the "perfect" potion unique to the vitality school to achieve such a good figure.
But her aunt has neither used any medicine nor become a monster. She has grown so perfectly naturally that she has a beauty that makes her jealous and envious.
"Well... although I'm pretty sure that Ye He can't find Aurora, and Aurora must not be in Sigwig, but... it's not bad to let Ye He calm down Cassio and prepare for the festival. here you go."
Ekaterina didn't pay attention to Katerina's gaze. Even if a man was standing by the bathtub, she wouldn't care. She was absolutely arrogant, so arrogant that she could understand that no man standing next to her would dare to say anything to her. She became coveted...
hiss……
She subconsciously touched her neck, where she was almost bitten!
...Except Ye He.
However, he is not the kind of man whose reason is controlled by boring lust. If he comes here at this time, maybe he will strip off his clothes generously, come down and take a bath with him, and talk about how he terminated Saida Will's "Storm" is showing off this to himself.
In fact, Ekaterina had only met Ye He a few times, and had spoken less than a hundred sentences, but Ekaterina felt that she knew Ye He very well, and she was full of this understanding. confidence.
Someone who can make her curious and can solve the "trouble" for her family is coming. This is the attitude of Yekaterina's Ye He who is about to come to Shigweg.
She welcomed Ye He very much.
"I won't be attending the banquet, but after the banquet is over, you can bring Ye He up to see me."
"Okay, Auntie, I'll get ready first."
Caterina saw Yekaterina waving to her and left the bathroom. Yekaterina wanted to see Ye He, which was normal, but not seeing him would be abnormal.
As for whether there will be any sparks between this aunt and Ye He... Katarina is very smart, so she will not think about such stupid questions.
In her eyes, Ye He and Ekaterina are simply two people carved from the same mold. Although they have different genders and different identities, their arrogance in their bones is exactly the same!
No matter how perfectly Ye He hides, his actions cannot deceive anyone. Katerina, who is in charge of the [Infinite Eye], has long judged from Ye He's behavior that he and Yekaterina are very similar in nature.
For such two people, when they meet, they do not fight to the death. Katerina feels that this is because Yekaterina is giving her face.
"Carl."
"I'm here."
After getting off this floor, Catalina returned to Karl who was guarding here, and began to explain to Karl:
"Send the message and use my name to invite all female nobles and noble women with a Sigwig rating of "7" or above to attend tonight's banquet."
"Yes."
"Tell Cassio that Yehe is here and will be here tonight."
"Yes."
"Tonight's banquet attendants, music band, and chefs all only want women!"
"Yes."
"Um……"
As Catalina walked, she was thinking about what else she needed to explain. After thinking about it, she said to Karl: "Ask my mother for a team of Redbud Knights for me. As a guard for tonight's banquet, please help me when you arrive." I'm guarding outside, and no man is allowed in!"
"Yes."
Karl responded simply and neatly, saying that he had nothing to say to this cousin who had made his "ambition" obvious.
He knew very well that no matter what Katarina did or paid, her efforts... were all in vain.
People like Ye He...
Unless a woman is very useful to Ye He, or he is interested in it, he will only talk to her. Otherwise... the more deliberately, the more counterproductive it will be.
"Well, there's nothing else, just go and do your work."
Catalina's attention was not on Karl, and she could not see the distressed look the cousin cast on her, so Karl had no choice but to turn and leave.
"This time..." Catalina took out the small bottle containing the pink potion, her eyes filled with determination, "You will not escape my grasp!"
When she thought that Ye He might be angry, angry, or even indifferent to herself... Catalina couldn't help but smile strangely.
Working hours in Siegwig "end" earlier than in any other city.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun turned to the west, but had not yet completely started to set. It had already plunged many areas of Shigwig, which faces east, into shadow.
This time is when most residents in the upper and lower cities get off work, and people return home leisurely in the shadows that are no longer stuffy.
At the same time, a steam train, which rarely arrived on time, slowly entered the Siegwig train station.
The crowds at the train station here are not as crowded as those at Cedarville.
After all, this is the capital of the empire. Security personnel armed with steam firearms can greatly improve the civilization of the crowd and achieve orderly entry and exit.
A gentleman carrying a small suitcase and wearing a black high-end formal suit stepped off the steam train at the end of the crowd.
Lifting the brim of his hat, he looked across the crowds of people and looked at Higwig outside the station, who was preparing to enter the evening. A playful smile appeared on his handsome face of oriental race.
"Good afternoon, Higwig."
Go, go, go!
