Realm of Power

"Oh, that's right." The fat man nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Mrs. Susanna with a hint of surprise and admiration. Mrs. Susanna's agility and ability to see into people's hearts made the fat man feel slightly palpitated.

I have seen the beauty and wildness of Sceris, the foreign affairs officer of the Kugit Court, I have seen the innocence and ignorance of the aristocratic girl Kulondiya, I have seen the simplicity and innocence of the maid Kesli, and I have seen Mrs. Susanna who is so smooth, smart and decisive. A mature woman, the fat man had to sigh in his heart

"This is the kind of aristocratic leader we should have in this troubled world. He is astute, decisive, sensitive, meticulous and good at dancing. He leads the humble family to find a glimmer of hope in the cracks of the wealthy families. Even in the face of sacrifice, he still remains calm. Unfortunately, Such a character is just a woman"

"Please come with me, sir." Lady Susanna bowed slightly and elegantly avoided the fat man's surprised gaze. The meticulous Lady Susanna could feel that the fat man's eyes did not contain carnal or lustful elements like those of other nobles, but more like A kind of appreciation among similar people "Miss Keith Vivian is a very sensitive girl. I'm afraid that if I wait too long, Miss Keith Vivian will notice something."

"Please lead the way, Mrs. Susanna!" The fat man stretched out his right hand in a noble salute, restraining his previous rudeness and impatience. At this moment, the fat man felt more like a true nobleman, without evil thoughts or scheming, regardless of the identity gap between the two parties. It's more about sincere respect. There is no need to show the fangs of the beast in front of his own kind. The superficial disguise will only make this woman laugh. "If it weren't for the fact that this woman's reputation is really problematic, she would be a good noble teacher."

"Creak" The side door of the Chas family hall slightly exposed a crack. A pair of big, pretty and curious eyes kept looking outside the hall. The marble corridor was so quiet that no one could be seen. The round moon hung in the sky.

Tonight, the lights should be brightly lit here, with the handsome and handsome Master Cesar and the elegant and refined Master Chikle. . . . . . These future aristocratic stars of Ziva Cheze will gather here. I will soon enter the banquet hall, become the most senior deaconess, and become the exclusive maid of these aristocratic stars. In the near future, I may have the opportunity to have my name in front of it. Adopt a noble surname, live a luxurious and wealthy life, and become the noble Mrs. So-and-so. Unfortunately, all of this will come to nothing tonight.

The Keyes family envoy is here. This unscrupulous father who forgot himself in the south finally remembered his miserable daughter. Tonight, he will be taken back to the poor ravine in the Falcon Territory to marry the idiot who has been engaged for a long time. The young master got married and stayed in that poor ravine for the rest of his life.

This made Keith Vivian extremely frustrated. From the reception maid to the banquet maid, in this circle of maids who loved each other and competed with each other, no one knew what a Lord's daughter with no background like her had experienced. After so many hardships and blood and tears, amidst everyone's jealousy and cynicism, how many times I hid in bed and cried silently. With perseverance and perseverance, I got through it, but it has no meaning now.

Cinderella can't meet the prince, and the lord's daughter can only be a vulgar village woman

"No, I will never go! I want to control my own destiny!"

Hearing the sound of soft footsteps coming from the corridor in front, Keith Vivian carefully closed the door, leaving only a sliver of light exposed. She encouraged herself in her heart. No matter who came this time, even if it was her father, she would never come back again. Go to that poor ravine,

"Damn fat man!" Keith Vivian's nervous heart suddenly shrank. Not far away, the stupid fat man following Mrs. Susanna and holding the red box was the stupid young marquis from the Falcon Territory. ? No wonder Lady Susanna postponed tonight’s banquet. After all, that fool is also a lord with a territory, so he can be considered as a person with status.

"Sir, I can only send you here!" Mrs. Susanna stopped, and her charming eyes glanced at the side door of the hall. Scared, Keith Vivian hurriedly avoided, not daring to look again. Mrs. Susanna said to The fat man saluted, "In front is the banquet hall, and Keith Vivian is inside."

"Thank you, madam!" The fat man thanked Madam Susanna, and "squeaked" open the door of the banquet hall, and saw a slim girl standing under the bright light, with fair skin as white as milk and long black hair. Tucked up high like a noble girl, wearing an elegant pink dress,

Her pretty pink face is somewhat similar to Kesli's, but she is prettier, more mature, and has a taller figure. She has a girl's unique and elegant temperament that is intertwined with immaturity and maturity, making everyone who sees her feel happy.

"No wonder he was noticed by Madam Susanna. He is indeed a rare beauty." The fat man couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "In another two years, I believe it will be a disaster."

It's a pity that this pretty face, as cold and arrogant as snow, was looking at him with a bit of disdain, which made the fat man feel nervous.

"Are you the envoy sent by the Keith family?" The girl's voice was as beautiful as an oriole, but it made the fat man's heart sink. It was over. Judging from Keith Vivian's cold and arrogant attitude, even herself, the object of the engagement, was Pretending not to recognize her, the evolution of this money-worshiping girl has been completed. At this time, wanting to take someone back is no different from ascending to heaven.

"Yes, Miss Case Vivian." The fat man saluted like a noble. Unfortunately, this courtesy made the opposite Case Vivian even more contemptuous. The long-term and rigorous etiquette training, and the experience in the Chas family in recent months. The influence of the environment allowed Keith Vivian to spot a dozen shortcomings in the fat man's salute at a glance. The ignorant performance of the foolish young marquis in front of her had already marked Keith Vivian's heart as a vulgar, ignorant, and country bumpkin. Label.

"Lord Kestola has entrusted me to take you and Miss Li back." The fat man was making a last-ditch effort, hoping to arouse Keith Vivian's already polluted heart through the affection of Keith's sisters, but unfortunately, Keith Vivian was just stunned for a moment, then said indifferently, "Is Li also there with you? Take her back, I won't go with you!"

From the beginning to the end, Keith Vivian's eyes did not stay on the fat man for a second. His indifference and arrogance chilled the fat man just like Frost. The fat man could see that the Keith Vivian in front of him was no longer the one in Zhan Luan. , she is a big girl who supports each other with her younger sister. In her heart, she is no different from those noble ladies with eyes full of glory and wealth.

"Forget it." The fat man didn't want to be entangled any longer. This time he came to pick up the Keith sisters, which was more of a compensation for the two poor girls who were far away from home because of him. Now it seems that he was just wishful thinking. "Such a woman , let it fend for itself!”

"Since Miss Keith Vivian doesn't want to go back, we won't force you to do so. We hope you will live happily in Ziva Cheze." The fat man's voice was very low. No man would be in a happy mood in this situation. He placed the red box in his hand on the table in the center of the banquet hall, "This is a small gift from Marquis Dustan to the lady, hoping to make up for the misfortune he has brought to the lady," and then turned around and left without looking back.

"Did you do something wrong?"

Seeing the fat man walking out of the hall and disappearing into the corridor, Keith Vivian couldn't help but feel a little confused. This damn fat man was still as stupid as before. He was dismissed by her with just a few cold looks, but he was really kind. There was no aristocratic intrigue, and there was care in the simple words. These were things that she could not feel in Ziva Chezi, which made Keith Vivian feel a wave of emotion.

"Creak" the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again

"I knew the stupid fat guy wouldn't be so easy to get rid of!" Keith Vivian felt a little angry. Her pity was actually deceived by the fat guy. She turned around angrily and shouted, "You don't have to say anything anymore, I won't go with you." . .

Keith Vivian was stunned. Behind her stood Mrs. Susanna in red.

"You didn't agree to him?" Mrs. Susanna asked with a smile. The stubborn girl in front of her was very much like herself when she was a girl. She did everything for her dreams. She gave up many beautiful things. From the beginning, Mrs. Susanna We already know the ending. The impoverished aristocratic fiancée comes to the big city and kicks the impoverished fiance away. This is nothing new in Ziva Che.

"Yes, ma'am." Keith Vivian's face darkened, with a hint of whimpering in her voice. The true emotions she had hidden just now could no longer be concealed at this moment.

"I will not go back to that poor ravine again. You don't know how poor it is there. Even as a marquis, I don't have the money to buy a pearl necklace. How is this kind of life different from those vulgar village women?" Keith Vivian doesn’t want to be a village woman, Mrs. Vivian is my name”

"It's yours, it's yours, it's not yours, and you can't get it even if it's delivered to you." Susanna smiled, listening to Keith Vivian's cry, and picked up the gift box that the fat man put down from the table. "This is his Don’t you want to open the gift I gave you? “

"No, I don't want to see it." Keith Vivian said with a bit of contempt in her tone. "What good things can a country bumpkin like him buy? I'm afraid I will be even more angry if I see it. Maybe it's the pickled saury brought from my hometown." Not sure, that was my favorite food when I was a kid."

"Not necessarily." Mrs. Susanna shook her head, and delicately picked up a shiny object from the gift box. "There are many things that you won't know unless you take a look, such as this!"

The fiery red luster dazzled Keith Vivian's eyes. On Mrs. Susanna's white and smooth fingers, a huge ruby ​​necklace was like a circle of leaping flames under the light of the hall, allowing everyone to see it for the first time. People can’t help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator

"This is the most famous Tears of the Moon in Ziva Cheze. There are only two sets in total." Mrs. Susanna's words were like a magic spell, making Keith Vivian panic and uneasy. "Thirty-six of the most precious Safin rubies are for At the bottom, each one has thirty-six rhombus faces, and is worth at least three hundred thousand gold coins in Riva Cheze!"

"Three hundred thousand gold coins!" The high price mentioned by Mrs. Susanna made Keith Vivian at a loss. There are two sets of Tears of the Moon. One is here, so the other one must be in Li's hands. This stupid fat man He actually gave himself such an expensive gift. It was obvious that he had just missed a great opportunity.

"It's yours, it's yours, it's not yours, I can't get it even if it's presented to you!"

Lady Susanna's words just now echoed in Keith Vivian's mind.
