It was close to five o'clock in the morning when Miranda and his party returned to the palace. They were protected by elite guards and the Knights Templar, and they were never assassinated along the way.

However, Elena told Miranda that she had always felt a murderous intent following the convoy, and several searches were fruitless, which was frightening.

The royal palace of the French Empire covers a very large area. It was burned down once 300 years ago, and later it was rebuilt to become more luxurious, and there are countless exquisite works of art in it.

However, when Miranda saw the current palace, no matter how good her mental quality was, she couldn't help but burn with anger, trembling all over with anger.

The royal palace that was once the pride of the French Empire has almost become extremely dilapidated, with dust everywhere, the sculptures in the garden were smashed to pieces, the pool was blocked by garbage, and weeds grew overgrown in just one or two months , and even a fox sprang out.

After Prince O'Barron occupied the palace, he didn't actually touch the treasures inside. He expected that he would become the emperor of the Faran Empire, so the palace became his own home as it should be, and he even paid for it out of his own pocket. renovated and refurbished.

However, Prince O'Baron left too hastily. Apart from taking away the easy-to-carry gold coins, the other treasures were left to the passionate lower-level people of the Relief Society.

Some of these people were underlings of the Blue Ghost, and they gathered together after identifying the most precious antiques from the old era, leaving some leftovers.

But even so, it was enough to satisfy these low-level people who had been poor for several lifetimes. The oil paintings were gone, but the gold leaf frames were worth a few bucks, and the precious cashmere carpet was forcibly divided into several pieces with scissors.

Finally, after everything that could be moved in the palace was removed, the mob vented their anger and wrote a lot of obscenities and curses on the nobles on the walls.

Miranda held her nose, and her eyes flicked through the piles of man-made filth with cold eyes. She would definitely not stay in this situation, and took Maggis away without the slightest hesitation.

She also has a residence next to the palace, which is relatively close to the parliament, so it was not affected.

Maggis soon fell into a deep sleep. Miranda forcibly dragged her tired body to sit on the table and looked at the secret letter. The letter was given to her by Wang Luo, and a huge check was attached to it. It also secretly arranged more than 500 elite soldiers to hide in the capital.

Whether it was a check or a confidant soldier, Miranda urgently needed it, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in her heart. Of course, if she knew that the money originally belonged to the royal family of the French Empire, she might have torn Wang Luo's heart.

In the next few days, Miranda, who had sufficient financial support, recruited people to clean the palace thoroughly. It is ironic that many of the people recruited were those who looted the palace. Now that the capital has returned to calm, these people Transformed into a commoner again.

Miranda didn't care about these, she was busy preparing a grand banquet, declaring that the majesty of the royal family was still there, so as to offset the impact of O'Baron's rebellion and Malik's infringement.

How could Marley not know about this, but he has no good way to stop it. After all, the French Empire has a tradition of banquets. Back then, he was not in a hurry to clean up the palace, but he wanted Miranda to come to negotiate terms, because he knew very well Miranda didn't have much savings left.

To Marley's surprise, Miranda actually had the money to repair the palace, and even made large-scale purchases. The source of the money was obviously supported by someone, which made Marley feel worried.

Regardless of whether Marley is willing or not, the banquet was still held as scheduled. The musicians in the hall played soothing music, and the guests entered the venue one after another. It can be seen that the faces of these people are not very good-looking. After the turmoil in the capital, they were urged to pay the royal family's contribution.

The donation is a gift from the nobles to express their respect to the royal family. The nobles of each level have a corresponding amount. This is a customary agreement. The royal family has the obligation to protect the nobles when receiving the donations. This is just like the protection fee.

However, when Prince Obalon was in power, he received a donation on behalf of the royal family, but this behavior is obviously illegal. The current emperor believed that he was an accomplice of Prince O'Baron, so this dumb loss could only be taken bluntly.

Fortunately, the luxurious banquet in the hall somewhat relieved the inner depression of the guests, and soon they began to enjoy it to their heart's content.

The tables and chairs in the hall are all newly made, with exquisite carvings. The tables are covered with precious gold velvet tablecloths, and are also filled with rare delicacies.

Miranda did not hesitate to spend locally, so that the chefs of the palace brought out all the craftsmanship.

The guests swallowed subconsciously when they smelled the rich aroma of food. You must know that the last time they had a dinner party of this scale was after Emperor Narens succeeded in opening up a colony more than ten years ago.

They couldn't help but become more respectful and careful, and the scale of the dinner reflected that the royal family's foundation still seemed to be there.

In fact, in Miranda's view, this kind of dinner is held even if it is borrowing money, just to deter the enemy through this extravagance and show their own strength and power. Lent to the royal family.

It is not afraid that you will not pay back, but that you will not spend the money after borrowing it, or that you will not have the ability to pay back the money at all. This is the thinking of most businessmen.

After the main courses of honey cured ham, Wellington steak, secret carbon-grilled lamb chops, and sea fish stewed with lemon, the guests are basically full. After eating some vegetable salads, many people began to look for places to rest. place.

This is a necessary entertainment item in the upper level of the French Empire. Men and women who looked at each other while eating entered the same room before and after, enjoying the short-term dewy marriage.

Miranda did not stay idle, she circled among the guests, promising all kinds of conditions in exchange for support to the royal family, many people got what they wanted, and at the same time began to be alarmed by the queen's methods.

The guests saw the shadow of Narrance in Miranda in a trance, and even some aspects of this queen were far beyond.

Mariko waited until the banquet was about to end, and suddenly appeared with a few Templars, taking away Miranda's scenery in an instant, and many people gathered around him to compliment him.

However, there was a sneer of disdain at the corner of Miranda's mouth. Marley would not have used such small tricks before, and now he is disregarding his face to suppress the majesty of the royal family, obviously he is panicked in his heart.
