In the palace of Irus.
"He said he has no money?"
Victor's face was full of astonishment. "Is he joking? The amount of money he made yesterday made me jealous! "
Victor knew how much money Tang En had made yesterday, so he set the price so low. It was exactly one million gold coins. He thought that Tang En's income was so high that he wouldn't care about such a small amount of gold coins, but he actually …
"Actually, that's what he said."
Old Tom lowered his head and said in a low voice, "But I've already used Duke Adrian's name to hand over the house to him. As for the debt, I'll let him pay it later."
"Understood, but it shouldn't take long."
Victor pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled. "I heard that he still has a debt to settle with the Cadier family? If he gets it back, he'll have the money to pay. Two million gold coins … Tsk tsk, he really dares to ask for it. "
The expressionless Old Tom was silent.
"If Aubrey and Adrian put pressure on him together, even if that old bastard Frank refuses to bow down, he'll have no choice but to agree to pay the money. Although it's nothing to him, when I think of him being forced to swallow his pride and suffer a loss, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."
As an emperor, he was restrained by the nobles in his country. Victor was extremely aggrieved. As long as it could make the aristocrats suffer, he would support it.
"Speaking of which, even I didn't expect him to fall out with the Cadier family over a mine …"
Victor rubbed his chin. "This time, how will Frank and the rest react? I'm looking forward to it … "
Old Tom said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's not a good habit for an emperor to place his hopes on an outsider."
"I know, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Victor smiled faintly. "What about Aurelia? Has she really decided to do that? "
"Princess …" Old Tom's expression suddenly became very strange, as if he couldn't bear to look at it. "She's already started to act."
"This … Alright, if everything goes well, she should be able to get some information from our mysterious friend."
"With all due respect, Your Majesty Victor, this kind of thing is more suitable to be done by professionals. You and Queen Olina spoil her too much."
"Hehe … Old Tom, do you think those people are trustworthy, or my daughter? Especially when it involves our mysterious friend. "
"… As you said, Your Majesty, of course it's Princess Aurelia."
"So, the information she can get from Tang En is likely to determine the future of our country …"
The Royal Faction and the Aristocratic Faction had been restraining each other and were in a dangerous state of balance. This fragile balance could be easily broken. The most dangerous time was when the Rosa d 'Oro family took sides, which almost led to the outbreak of a war. Later, under the control of the Royal Faction, the Rosa d' Oro family was destroyed.
Now it seemed that Tang En was likely to be the second fuse after the Rosa d 'Oro family.
At this moment, where was the fuse?
In the carriage, he was discussing the recruitment of servants with Hilton. After all, it was troublesome to have no servants in such a big house. Considering the identity of the Royal Faction, Hilton thought that they should hire some well-educated maids.
"If you want to control the situation, you have to listen to me. Trust me, get a hundred maids of the same height and good figure and train them carefully. Let them be proficient in etiquette, cooking, music theory, tea ceremony, fighting, transformation, and horsemanship."
"Then let these versatile maids wear black and white lace maid outfits and stand in a row at the door. When guests come, they will salute together. No matter who the guests are, they will definitely be shocked by this show of extravagance! As for the name, they will be called Hua Youjing … Uh, the Tang Maids Group! "
Hilton stared at Tang En, dumbfounded. "Let's not talk about this strange idea … What does it mean to let maids be proficient in fighting? And what does it mean to transform? And horsemanship, although it doesn't sound like much, my intuition tells me that you said something very bad unintentionally. "
"Trust me, I'm very serious."
Tang En gave Hilton a thumbs up. "So, this is called the Battle Maids Group."
"It's simply inexplicable … My Lord, if you really have this idea, you can do whatever you want in Ellington, but can you please restrain your hobby in Alinx?"
Hilton said very tactfully. "Although many things between the master and the maid are well-known secrets, I'm afraid that you will be laughed at by other nobles if you publicize it with such great fanfare."
"You must have misunderstood."
Tang En said with certainty. "I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you don't accept it, just pretend that I didn't say it."
Hilton obviously didn't believe Tang En's words. This guy had inadvertently exposed his dirty hobby in the depths of his heart.
Although what happened between the master and the maid was well-known in Prandal, toying with the maid was a very low-class behavior among the nobles, especially when the maid sometimes had the function of serving the guests. Therefore, although every noble would do this, they would not say it.
Compared to toying with the maid, seducing a noble lady or a young girl would give them a greater sense of accomplishment.
Of course, that kind of thing was even more confidential. They would only keep it to themselves because the target of their seduction was likely to be the wife or daughter of the person who was sitting next to them and chatting with them.
In terms of private life, the ordinary nobles in Prandal were generally more debauched. On the contrary, those families that had mages and warriors among their members were very strict in this aspect because they valued their own bloodlines more.
Those families whose bloodlines were more difficult to awaken, such as the Kadir family, had always wanted to attract powerful Divines to the Kadir family so that they could improve the bloodline of the Kadir family. Unfortunately, the results did not seem to be optimistic.
"Although the maid will be recruited, it will not be like what you said. After all, the second training of the maid costs a lot of money, so my Lord, you should give up."
The carriage stopped in front of the shop, and Hilton put an end to the conversation. "And reasonably speaking, my Lord, is it really okay for you to reveal this hobby? Not only Elsa heard it clearly, but if Miss Fiona heard it, I'm afraid you won't have a good time, right? "
"Ah? Why? "
Tang En and Elsa were both at a loss.
Hilton surrendered.
Elsa might not have realized it, but she felt that Tang En was definitely not as simple as being insensitive. He was just pretending to be stupid, right? How could there be such an innocent man in this world? Stop joking.
As soon as Hilton got off the carriage, she noticed that there was a bit of chaos at the door. She frowned and said, "Something seems to have happened."
Tang En immediately got off the carriage with Elijah and Elsa in his arms.
"What's going on? Could it be that the Saintess Eluri Camilla came out from the cathedral? Is that why everyone is so agitated? "
"I'm afraid not … those people are … guards?"
Hilton frowned. What were the guards doing at the door?
It was not just the door, the entire street was filled with guards. As long as they appeared, nothing good would happen!
"If you don't get out of the way, we will have to use force!"
The guard's attitude was very tough. He waved his hand and said, "Prepare to force your way in!"
"Wait a minute! What are you all doing? "
Hilton shouted and rushed into the crowd.
"Great! The store manager is back! "
"Store manager! They said that they want to catch a fugitive and suspect that we are hiding a fugitive! "
A shop assistant said angrily, "We have so many customers here and so many people. How could we hide a fugitive?"
"They want to report us for hiding a fugitive?"
Hilton was stunned for a moment and she almost laughed. "Sir, we have so many people here. What kind of fugitive would be stupid enough to hide in our shop?"
The guard captain was also stunned for a moment. Then he snorted and said, "How would we know what she is thinking? Maybe she thinks that it is safer here because it is more dangerous?"
Tang En could not help but secretly give a thumbs up. This guard actually said the classic saying, "The most dangerous place is the safest place!"
"Even so, you can't let us close the shop and search it!"
An employee argued. "Do you know how much revenue we will lose if we close the shop?"
The guard captain said, "We don't care. We only care about the safety of Alinx."
Hilton frowned. "With such a big commotion, even a fool would know that you are here. Do you think you can catch the fugitive?"
The guard captain's face stiffened and he was speechless.
Tang En looked upstairs thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "Can you tell me who the fugitive is? If you are willing to cooperate with us, we are also willing to cooperate with you. "
"It is a very famous thief called 'Night Song'."
"Night Song!?"
"Oh my god! It is that 'Night Song'!? "
"She finally made a move again!? Which noble is unlucky this time? "
After hearing this name, the reactions of the surrounding crowd were different. The commoners who passed by to watch the show were gloating, but the aristocrats' expressions changed one by one, and they became nervous.
Night Song?
The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up, revealing a strange smile.
The guard captain looked at Tang En very unhappily. "Who are you?"
"This is our boss!"
Hilton raised her eyebrows. "The Lord of Ellington, Tang En!"
The guard captain snorted. "The Lord of Ellington? I have never heard of him. This is Alinx. Even the Lord of Ellington has to follow the rules here! "
"Is that so?"
Hilton sneered. "The girl beside him is the granddaughter of Duke Aubrey Foyer. Why don't you shout at her for me to see?"
The granddaughter of Duke Foyer?
Looking at the innocent Elsa, the guard captain's face turned green.
They wouldn't dare to yell at Duke Forier's granddaughter even if they had the guts.
