Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

"Snapped--"

Kelsey silently slapped herself and walked straight to the bathroom.

She had to wash her face well, to cool down her face that was burning like a red iron, and by the way, calm down her heartbeat that was beating like a rock music.

However, when she stepped into the bathroom, she met a familiar figure at the sink.

"Lilia?!"

Looking at the back in front of her, Kelsey called out the name of the person in front of her in disbelief.With her back to Kelsey, the brown-haired woman who was washing her hands was stunned for a few seconds, turned off the faucet, turned her head with some hesitation and vigilance, and looked at Kelsey.

The hesitation on Lilia's face turned into greater surprise in just a few seconds after seeing Kelsey. She opened her arms, as if she wanted to step forward to hug Kelsey, but after taking a closer look, she instead Putting her hands away, she took a few steps back towards the sink, until her waist reached the edge of the sink with some drops of water. After the waist of her white dress was slightly wet, she couldn't retreat. He had no choice but to stop, and asked vigilantly:

"Who are you!?"

Kelsey's face became more and more rosy, as if there were too many surprises today, her usual calm appearance has almost completely disappeared now, she opened her arms to meet Lilia's hug, and after seeing her stepping back, she seemed to realize something , showing a somewhat puzzled and uncomfortable expression:

"What are you talking about, I'm Kelsey."

"Nonsense!" Lilia pointed at Kelsey's clothes, "How could director Kelsey wear such clothes and come to such an occasion?!"

The corner of Kelsey's mouth twitched, and she was speechless for a while.

Lilia was a researcher at the Imperial Research Institute when Kelsey was in office in the Ursus Empire. Later, the Imperial Research Institute was met by unruly nobles and a group of opposition parties because of the Chernobog sarcophagus accident. In the bloodbath, only Lilia survived because she was not in the laboratory on maternity leave.After that, Kelsey chose to leave the centers of turmoil in St. Junburg and Chernobog, and lived in seclusion in the countryside alone, acting as an ordinary country doctor.

But the trouble will not be reduced because of people's avoidance, just like the cause and effect in the population of the Yan Kingdom. Lilia found Kelsey again a few years later, and invited Kelsey to assassinate a Grand Duke of Ursia together. To avenge her husband who died innocently in that conspiracy.

Whether out of righteous indignation or out of sympathy, Kelsey finally agreed to the proposal, and single-handedly organized the assassination of a once high-ranking and now highly respected Grand Duke of Ursus in a heavily guarded sanatorium.The assassination was so successful that Kelsey even ended up having a life-and-death conversation with the dead Archduke in the sanatorium.In the end, the inner guard arrived—or with acquiescence, he successfully evacuated safely.

After that, Lilia fled to the snowland of Sami, and Kelsey turned into a Lateran monk and went to a frontier on the northern border of the Victorian Empire, which was ruled by the King of the North at that time. Earldom - Earl of Vincent.Where did he meet the lovely Miss Heidi, Earl Vincent, who is mediocre but still has a real noble spirit, and others.

In the end, ushered in the attack of the hound of the Ursus Empire, the emperor's sharp blade "Stalker".And got the news of "Lilia"'s death from him.

"There are always criminals who commit unforgivable crimes who try to escape their own death by evasion, but death always catches up with them, wherever they flee to the ends of the earth, wherever they flee to Victoria or Sammy."

Kelsey firmly remembered the mocking tone in the inner guard's mouth at that time, she always thought that Lilia was dead.He never expected that not only did Lilia not die, but he even met her at this banquet by chance.

After a short period of joy, more embarrassment swept over.

The nobles of Ursus may not remember the appearance of a Ferlin who once served in the Imperial Research Institute, and they may not even remember the name Kelsey.But Lilia is different. It is impossible for her to forget Kelsey, and she knows better what kind of person "Kelsey" is.

Therefore, Kelsey, who is wearing an astonishing white gauze dress, with light makeup on her face, blushing cheeks, and a femininity that is rarely seen in thousands of years, is indeed a bit difficult for those "people who are familiar with Kelsey" accept.

Kelsey even doubted that if Teresia saw that she was dressed like this next to Wayne, would she not dare to let herself stay with Wayne alone again.

"Don't think too much, I'm really Kelsey."

Kelsey tried to keep a calm tone, making herself look more or less like the wise scientist who didn't eat the fireworks of the world.Without waiting for Lilia to respond, she immediately changed the subject and said:

"It's you, Lilia, how did you escape the inner guard's pursuit?"

"Inner guard?" Lilia seemed to have heard something strange, looked at Kelsey suspiciously, but still told the truth: "I was not assassinated by the inner guard, on the contrary, I received an attack from Ursi." The emperor's pardon, and..."

"And what?" Kelsey asked curiously.

Lilia hesitated for a moment, thinking of the relationship between Kelsey and herself, as well as her character, she gritted her teeth, approached Kelsey's ear, and whispered softly: "And a letter of apology. Signed by Fyodor of."

Kelsey opened her mouth in a daze, looking at Lilia's resolute and tired face, she still couldn't believe it.

Did she hear something wrong, a letter of apology from Fyodor, Emperor of Ursus?

"Crack!"

The sound of the wine glass breaking suddenly sounded in the banquet hall, followed by loud laughter and a few apologetic voices that spread quickly and entered the bathroom.The noise interrupted Kelsey's thoughts, she subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the banquet hall.

The door of the banquet hall was gently closed, and a girl with odd-colored pupils stood beside a middle-aged man.With a flattering smile on his face, the man happily introduced the girl beside him enthusiastically to everyone who came forward to ask questions.

That appearance, looks like an enthusiastic salesman selling goods.

PS: It is rare for me to blow a wave of Casimir's plot this time.

The doctor has a good sense of existence, and the logic of the plot is flawed, but the impression is good, and the flaws are not concealed. A feeling of inversion where a good thing turns into a bad thing.It's a pity that I didn't see the silver gun and Tianma use force.The long-awaited "Subversive Business Federation" did not appear.In the end, it is also YJ's usual tone of "ah, although everyone is working hard, but the changes are very limited, this land is still rotten and rotten", pouring a basin of cold water on people.

I received a lot of foreshadowing, Candle Knight is very sexy, Blood Knight and Nightmare are both very handsome, especially the "King's Army (Ark Only)" CG of Nightmare, which is so handsome to me.Platinum's Tucao service is also good.

Generally speaking, it is the best SS plot so far.Hope to keep going.

Chapter 150 VII The Price of Lustling Cats

"Does it look familiar?"

Lilia's voice came from behind, and Kelsey shook her head:

"I don't know them."

Both Natalia and Count Rostov were emerging nobles in Chernobog after the Great Rebellion. As the director of the Imperial Research Institute, Kelsey naturally knew nothing about what happened in distant Chernobog.Although the sarcophagus was eventually returned to Chernobog, the research work has been carried out at the Institute of St Junburg.

But Kelsey didn't know her, and Lilia would definitely know her. She took the initiative to introduce:

"That person is the upstart of Chernobog, Count Rostov. As for the girl next to her...it should be her daughter. Natalia."

Speaking of this, Lilia herself is a little uncertain. The last time she went back to Chernobog was before she was looking for Kelsey to plan to assassinate the Grand Duke. After that, she and the house brought to her and her family The devastated cities are separated from each other.Although she met Natalia once, Natalia was still a baby in her infancy at that time. Now ten years have passed, and when she saw Natalia again, the other party had already grown into an elegant and dignified woman. Everyone is a lady.

With such a figure and appearance at the age of 12, even with Lilia's knowledge, she was a little surprised and uncertain.

"Father and daughter?"

Kelsey looked at Natalia a few times, looked at the somewhat stiff and flustered smile on her face, and sighed pitifully.Turning to look at his father, Count Rostov, there was a bit of disgust in his eyes.

Tirelessly introducing her daughter to the amazed nobles around her, the proud expression on her face made people feel a little disgusted. She promoted her daughter like a salesperson selling her own products.That young lady, who didn't even know what socializing was or what love was, had already been packaged into a work of art by her father, and put on the booth with a clearly marked price.

Judging from Count Rostov's joyful expression, he seems to have set a high price for this "masterpiece" - what's the point of having a higher price, it's just a change from a cheap commodity to an expensive luxury. .The people who are qualified for this banquet hosted by Emperor Ursas and hosted by Wayne are at least the Earl of Rostov, and there are many princes and nobles at the top. If someone takes a fancy to Natalia , there is always someone who can offer the starting price.

even.....

Kelsey witnessed with his own eyes a handsome Ursus young man who, at the instigation of his father, plucked up the courage to walk towards Count Rostov. While staring greedily at Natalia, he nervously introduced to Count Rostov from myself:

"I am Novier Urgai, the son of Grand Duke Urgai."

Count Rostov showed a happy smile as if he saw a treasure, and reached out to shake hands with this young man who had nothing but everything.

"I'm Rostov from Chernobog. This is my daughter, Natalia. Greetings to Mr. Urge."

Natalia was a little afraid to move forward, looking around helplessly, as if she wanted to ask for help.But the crowd who had just gathered around Count Rostov all tacitly moved away at this moment or looked away.Natalia's eyes only met a few teenagers who dared to look at this place, but behind those people stood each other's parents.Asking them for help is just to escape from the wolf's den and enter the tiger's mouth again.

Kelsey looked away disdainfully.

Just like at the Victoria Vincent earldom banquet five years ago, a Victorian noble said that there were too many nobles in Ursus, so many that they were worthless.In Victoria, the Grand Duke, who is considered the head of nobility other than the royal family, can only be enjoyed by less than two palms, but in the Ursus Empire, there are nearly a hundred such people.That Grand Duke Urgai may not be as powerful as an ordinary marquis in Victoria, but he can still be called a "Grand Duke".In the final analysis, it was the trouble left by the late emperor.

In order to wage wars continuously, money is needed, for money, it is necessary to seek taxes, and for taxes, it is necessary to win over nobles who control various places. By entrusting more nobles, let them restrain each other, but as the number of nobles increases, the imperial power becomes more and more dispersed, until finally, the war machine of Ursas stops, and the emperor's decrees cannot even be issued. During the time of Sheng Junbao, the so-called imperial power came to an end.As a result, the nobles who were entrusted for money at the beginning even took away the emperor's customs right at the end.

Those nobles, large and small, all over the land of Ursus gradually dismantled this huge empire. When merchants have to pay customs duties even from one earl to another, it is impossible for goods to be circulated, and industrialization is impossible. Over time, when the dividends of the war fade away, the people's lives will become more and more difficult, and the people who are powerless to deal with the status quo will turn their attention to the nobles who have brought prosperity to the upper class.

However, excessive numbers will inevitably lead to uneven quality of nobles. Most of the low-quality nobles will coerce a small number of neutral nobles to try to "maintain the status quo", that is, to maintain the "status quo" that can provide them with endless enjoyment. In order to make up for the missing wealth, they will continue to exploit the people until the contradictions are completely intensified.Form the next great rebellion.

Fyodor, the emperor of Ursus, was a rare sober person. He recognized this scene and had a premonition of the abyss that Ursas was slipping into.But sometimes, just being awake is meaningless, and he can't change this reality.Even the opponents cannot achieve complete control.The "Kosche's Conspiracy" dictated by Wayne will certainly lead to the destruction of Ursus, but in Kelsey's view, if Ursus does not have a thorough reform, the so-called destruction will be nothing more than long and short Painful difference.

She turned her head to the side, no longer looking at the corner of this corrupt and corrupt officialdom.She is not such a kind person, and she will show the greatest kindness to unfamiliar strangers, which is what Teresia will do.

In her judgment, this was a "very common exchange of interests" among Ursus nobles. Although Earl Rostov used his daughter as a bargaining chip in exchange for political votes, it was extremely shameless, but Kyle Xi has no reason to interfere with Ursas's family affairs. This is in vain to cause trouble for His Highness Wayne-Ursas' collapse is still a good thing for Victoria.

But her disdainful figure of turning her head did not escape Miss Natalia's eyes.

She has short light green hair and a white dress. Although she can't see the tail, judging from her ears, she is indeed a Filin.

The gentleman at the door seems to be a very powerful nobleman, the prince... I don't know if he is older than the duke?

But since he said that if he doesn't feel well, he can ask Miss Firing for help, let's give it a try!

Natalia gritted her teeth, and suddenly shook off Count Rostov, who had already started discussing "engagement" and "conditions" with Grand Duke Urgai who stepped forward, lifted her skirt, and staggered to the bathroom.

Her speed is not fast, and because of the high heels, she even looks like she is about to fall a few times.But maybe because she noticed that the direction was the bathroom, even Count Rostov himself, who was a little angry because his hand was suddenly thrown away, did not stop her from walking.

"Haha, don't mind, Mr. Rostov, the child probably thinks us adults are too wordy."

Count Urgai joked.Count Rostov nodded, watching the back of the girl running to the bathroom, and after confirming that she had indeed entered the bathroom, he looked away and shook his head:

"It was my mistake for not noticing her."

"Alas--!"

Suddenly, an exclamation came from near the bathroom, and Count Rostov turned his head in surprise, just in time to see his daughter tightly hugging a Filin's waist.

Count Rostov was just about to get angry, but when he saw that Ferrin was a woman, the anger that rose immediately vented.

Girl, there's no danger in that.

She didn't know that Kelsey, who was being hit by a headbutt at the moment, and whose mouth was twitching, was to some extent a humanoid form of hardware tools that was more terrifying than men.

"Director Kelsey's charm is as good as ever."

Lilia said with a mocking face.Kelsey's eyelids twitched as she looked at Natalia, who was tightly hugging her waist and refused to let go.

Her intuition told her that this would be trouble.

"That..." Natalia raised her head, looked at Kelsey, who was still a little taller than her, and said, "It was the big brother at the door who asked me to come to you for help. He said... If I come to you when I'm in trouble or I don't feel well. You'll help me...”

Well, this trouble was given to him by His Royal Highness Wayne himself.

Is this the price I just paid for the cat?

Kelsey patted her on the head, motioned for Natalia to let go of her hand, led her, walked out of the bathroom, and came to the main hall of the banquet.

Chapter 150 Eight Aggressive

Kelsey generally doesn't like to get involved in noble disputes, just like at a banquet, she will only silently accept other people's toasts depending on the situation, but will not take the initiative to show a smile to those self-proclaimed noble Ursus nobles, Even if it's just a formulaic smile.

But this does not mean that Kelsey's sense of presence in the banquet hall is low. As the only entourage of the banquet organizer Wayne Bruce, an elegant and dignified Victorian lady, as long as she is willing to speak, no matter what kind of banquet In any occasion, she is the absolute center.

Seeing Kelsey leading Natalia out of the bathroom, everyone's eyes, including Count Rostov's, focused on her.

Kelsey accepted it calmly, without any panic on her face.

She has seen too many similar scenes, whether it is assisting Teresia to accept the audience of the royal court in Kazdel, or helping Wei Na and Wei En in Victoria to deal with the nobles who are frightened in the reform center, Kelsey usually The people I saw here, even the lowest ones, were the magistrates of Londinium.After a long time, her own momentum is not inferior to any high-ranking prince or noble.

Already, some unsuspecting nobles were whispering in private, asking each other where the beautiful Ms. Ferring came from, whether she was the Duchess, or if she was an Grand Duke herself.Only a few people who were qualified to attend the first banquet hosted by Fyodor knew that Kelsey was not a simple duke.

Standing behind her was the aloof Prince Victoria who was just outside the door.

But no one wants to sell such important information to each other at this time.The top and bottom of Ursas have never been of one mind, and the conflicts between the various nobles have intensified, and there is a tendency to directly fight if there is a disagreement.Now they are looking at each other happily, hoping that there will be such a short-sighted person who will offend this Victorian lady, so that he can take the opportunity to watch the excitement.

As for whether it will damage the face of Fyodor and Ursus?They don't care, in their opinion, Ursus's face is won by war.It is in their best interest to fight.

After the banquet hall suddenly fell silent, someone finally couldn't help but speak.People's eyes turned from Kelsey to Count Rostov with a little teasing, watching with great interest how this "salesman" snatched his goods back from the hands of the bully.

"Ma'am." Earl Rostov frowned slightly. He looked at Kelsey and felt a little familiar, but after thinking about it, he didn't have a specific clue. Look the same.He took a step forward, stretched out his hand towards Natalia, and said, "This is my daughter, I am causing you trouble. Natalia, come back quickly, and father will discuss marriage with you again."

Natalia's delicate body trembled slightly, and she looked at Grand Duke Urge standing behind Count Rostov in some horror, gritted her teeth in disgust, and wanted to refuse, but couldn't speak, so she could only stammer My murmured: "I...I don't..."

Kelsey patted her on the head lightly, took a step forward, stood between Count Rostov and Natalia, and stopped the middle-aged man who wanted to take Natalia away.

Kelsey knows that it is impossible for Natalia to disobey his father. What kind of environment creates what kind of person, a person who has been trained to be obedient since childhood, unless he is forced to have no way out, will not Will not choose to resist.Rather, Kelsey was already very surprised that Natalia could actually ask for help from herself.It would be pitiful to ask a 12-year-old to do more.

Since His Highness Wayne has given him this task, then leave the rest to her.

Kelsey's move was undoubtedly a bomb, igniting the already restless crowd. The nobles of Ursus gathered in small groups, holding wine glasses in their hands, watching all this with relief, as if It's watching a classic duel, the winner gets to take the treasure and the princess.Under such circumstances, Kelsey slowly said:

"Sir, is this your daughter?"

Count Rostov also noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was not right. Not only did the nobles of Ursus not help, they even booed a little, as if they were watching a show.He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.Seeing that Kelsey took the initiative to ask questions, he immediately replied:

"Of course, she is my daughter, Natalya Andreyevina Rostova, a distinguished Ursus woman, a noble nobleman."

"What did you bring her here for?" Kelsey interrupted bluntly without listening to Count Rostov's troublesome speech introduction.

"What are you doing?" Earl Rostov, who was cut off from the introduction, frowned with an ugly face, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Victoria is holding a banquet at Castle St. Jun, and all Ursus nobles who are willing can attend. I will bring her here. Of course I came to see the world. She is my eldest daughter, and she will at least be a countess in the future..." Or a countess, or even a marquis, a duchess, Rostov added in his heart Dao said, "Naturally, we should learn and get in touch with knowledge and people in this area as early as possible."

Kelsey sneered, no longer tactful, and asked directly:

"But why do I feel that you are a salesman who is enjoying selling your own products?"

"What!" As if he didn't expect Kelsey to point out this point directly, Count Rostov's face suddenly turned pale, and then it was stained with an angry blood red.

"What are you talking about, ma'am, I'm her father, a nobleman, and I introduced my daughter in front of other nobles, how did I become a salesman... a lowly businessman?"

At this time, you still care about what I call you instead of accusations?Is this the nobleman of Ursus?

Kelsey shook his head in growing disappointment, and pointed to Grand Duke Urgai and his legitimate son behind Count Rostov:

"As far as I can see, your daughter just met the gentleman over there for less than 10 minutes, but you have already started planning her marriage. In addition to trying your best to sell your own products, you even don't hesitate to sell yourself I can't think of anyone who would be so anxious to draw up a 'contract' for their daughter."

In the face of this kind of trouble, mediation is not enough. The other party is Natalia's father, who has an inherent advantage. If the problem is not made clear, it is impossible for Kelsey, an outsider, to defeat the native nobles of Ursus.

Only by dragging things into a "seemingly fair rule" can Kelsey resolve the trouble.Therefore, Kelsey made preparations from the beginning, first angering Count Rostov, and then forcing him to a duel, to solve the problem of the nobles in a way that fits the nobles.
