Skeleton King

The weather was clear and cloudless.

When Ace went out, it was rare that he didn't take a carriage, and of course he didn't ride a horse.Ace took Gerhard for a leisurely stroll to Mrs. Anne's gift shop.

In the morning, the Duke Green House received a letter from the Marquis Ross.

The Marquise Rose wants Ace to come to the rescue.

It's a long story. The Marchioness of Ross and the Marquis of Ross have been married for many years, but they only had a daughter 20 years ago.During labor, the Marchioness of Rose suffered postpartum cramps and nearly died.It was not easy for the Marquis of Rose to be rescued by the Master of Light, but the Marquis of Rose had a psychological shadow and did not want to have any more children.The Marquis of Ross naturally refused. Although a daughter can inherit the title, it is always better to have a son.

The Marquis of Rose went to the Master of Light behind the back of the Marquis of Rose, and secretly performed the sterilization magic.After a long time, the Marquis of Rose found out that she was so angry that she was half dead.

In any case, they are extremely doting on their only daughters, the Marquis of Rose and the Marquis of Rose, and they will not give the stars to the moon.Under such pampering, it's not surprising that Miss Marquis Rose is a bit spoiled.

But Ace still didn't expect that he would run into such a bloody thing.

According to the Marquis of Rose, these young and handsome knights have caused even more sensation in the imperial capital.Following the marriage of Mrs. Red Rose to the province of Westphalia, Mrs. White Rose is no longer keen on socializing, and no more beautiful beauties appear in the imperial capital.

"It was Sykes Richter who caused a sensation when he was in the imperial capital." said the Marchioness of Ross.

Heinrich Richter's only son returned from Magic Island. He did not return to the Louisiana Province to inherit the old Earl Richter's title. Instead, he came to the imperial capital and directly became the head of the Royal Guard Knights.

Sykes Richter is the same age as Prince Nishimoto, but he has the strength of a ninth-level great swordsman, and he is only one step away from a sword master.When he appeared in the imperial capital on a white horse——

"All the married and unmarried girls in the imperial capital ran to the balcony to see him." Marquis Rose continued.

The Marchioness of Rose praised Sykes Richter so much, naturally because——

"Sikes is always with you, just because you are the princess of Pansy, and the person he actually likes is me." An extremely delicate voice sounded from Mrs. Anne's gift shop.

Because Sikes was so good, it was not surprising that the Marchioness of Rose could look him up.

Ace couldn't help but have a headache.In the imperial capital, only the Marquis of Rose will face Princess Fenfur head-on, and she is still jealous for the sake of fighting for the wind.

That's right.

At this time, there was a circle of people in Mrs. Anne's gift shop.However, the others were all standing against the wall with their eyes wide open, not wanting to miss any scene on the field, and wishing to blend in with the wall and become unobtrusive.There were only three people standing in the middle of Mrs. Anne's gift shop. It was Sykes Richter, the head of the Royal Guards, who Ace had met since he first came to the capital, and Princess Fenfur, whom Ace didn't know. a noble lady.

This noble lady has long red hair like a fire, and a long silver chain hangs on her hair. There are two small bells on it. She is Miss Rose Marquis.In the imperial capital, the most famous rumor about the Marquis Ross is that she has inherited the Marquis Rose's appearance and the wisdom of the Marquis Ross.This is simply the greatest tragedy.

As we all know, the Marquis of Ross is the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, and he is extremely resourceful. When she was not married, the Marquis of Ross was a white rose who was well-known in the upper class of the imperial capital. She is still the template for countless noble families to raise their daughters.

But in contrast, the Marquis of Rose is not tall, has ordinary facial features, and a big belly. The Marquis of Rose is also very mediocre in terms of IQ and EQ, as can be seen from the current incompatibility between her and Princess Mary.

Ordinary aristocratic girls are less intelligent, and it doesn't matter much.But the Marquis of Ross is the only daughter of the Marquis of Ross, and she will inherit the title in the future. Over the years, the vassals of the Ross family's fief have worried about this matter.They can only hope that the Marquis of Rose can teach the Marquis of Rose well so that she will not be easily fooled in the future.

Ace had naturally heard the rumors about the Marquis Rose.

But the Marquis Rose, who stood beside Sykes, was not as delicate and beautiful as Princess Fenfell, but her appearance was considered correct, and there was absolutely no exaggeration in the rumors.But her aggressive look is not cute at all.

In the morning, Miss Marquis Rose heard that Sykes and Princess Fenfur were coming to Lady Anne's gift shop, so she wanted to find a place.The Marchioness of Rose didn't stop her for a long time, so she sent someone to send a letter to Ace, hoping that he would persuade him.

Although Ace felt that he had absolutely no position to persuade the Marquis Rose, but the letter from the Marchioness Rose came and could not be ignored, so Ace still came to Lady Anne's gift shop.

Espen thought that half a day had passed, and a big event would come to an end.Unexpectedly, by coincidence, he was just catching up with the climax.

Princess Fenful's blue eyes were full of tears. Although she tried her best not to let the tears fall, her figure was crumbling.

Princess Fenfur was holding a handkerchief in her hand, and she kept pulling her hands. Her lips were trembling, "Sikes, really? You didn't come to the palace ball at that time, you went to accompany Rose, just the two of you Personally, spend her 20th birthday with her?"

Miss Rose snorted triumphantly.

Sykes' long silver hair covered half of his cheeks, his expression was gentle, and his voice was charming, but his words still shattered Princess Fenfur's last fantasy, "Fenfur, you are the most beautiful and most beautiful girl in my heart." Noble princess, but your affection should be reciprocated by someone more worthy."

Princess Fenfur understood, "Did you choose Rose between Rose and me?"

Sikes said nothing.

All the onlookers felt that Sykes was cruel, and that such a beautiful woman as Princess Fenfur had a deep love for Sykes.Moreover, Fenfur is the only princess of this generation of the royal family. If she marries her, she will immediately be able to enter the power center of the Pansy Empire.

Princess Fenfur didn't understand that she was not as good as Ross in any way, no matter in appearance, family background, or wisdom, she was much higher than Ross.Princess Fenfur stomped her feet, her eyes were red, "Sikes, if this is what you want, I wish you well..." Princess Fenfur opened and closed her mouth several times without making a sound, and finally said: " No, I hate you! I hate you!" Then turned and ran.

Ace: ...

Looks like the Marquise Rose is winning big, without him, Ace thought.

After Princess Fenfur left, Sykes glanced coldly at the people in the gift shop, and immediately everyone dispersed.Not to mention Sykes' identity, he is the head of the Royal Knights of the Royal Guards, and he has a high prestige in the Royal Knights of the Guards. As far as his own strength is concerned, he is also a ninth-level great swordsman.

There are so many of them, not enough for Sykes to fight alone.

Only Ace, he didn't decide whether to leave or stay, so he picked some novelty gadgets on the shelves, and prepared to take them back to Bernadette.At this moment, Miss Marquis Rose and Sykes spoke again. Although their voices were silent, with Ace's hearing, there was no way they couldn't hear them.

"Sikes, thank you very much. Thank you for coming to my house on my birthday, and thank you for helping me this time. Don't worry, I will help you tell my mother what you said last time, so that we can settle the matter " Miss Rose Marquis said: "If it wasn't for Fenfur being used by Princess Mary every time, the dates of the palace ball and the Rose Marquis's ball would collide. I..."

Ace seemed to have heard some great gossip, and the two gadgets in his hands collided accidentally, making a crisp sound.

"Who?!" Miss Marquis Rose scolded.

Ace walked out from behind the shelf, "Miss Marquise Rose, Captain Richter, I am shopping." Maybe Ace also felt that this statement was too false, and he said again: "Miss Marquise Rose, Marquise Ross asked you to go early today. go back."

Miss Rose Marquis looked at Ace.

Ace remembered that he didn't introduce himself, "I'm Ace Neumann, from the Neumann family in Bad Soden."

The Marquis Ross looked at Ace more critically.

But Sykes, he actually recognized Ace, "Ace Scholar."

Sykes' voice was low and charming, and he said Ace's name again, which made Ace's heart tremble.Sykes' appearance is like the moon, but he is extremely aggressive, and everyone else is overshadowed by him on all occasions.

Ace's demeanor is completely different from that of Sykes, so it can't be said that he is at a disadvantage, but Sykes' strength and fame make him more aura.What's more, Sykes' beauty is completely in line with Ace's aesthetics.

For people or things that make me happy, most of them will place him in a higher position.

Ace was a little flattered, "Master Richter actually recognizes me."

Miss Marquis Ross said unhappily: "Some of the new knights who entered the imperial capital actually became scholars. The imperial capital has already spread rumors. It's just that a duke and two heirs of the marquis attended the conferring ceremony this time. No one is watching you all day."

Although Ace didn't know how he got into trouble with this eldest lady, but seeing how the Marquis Ross had just snatched Princess Fenfur's fancy head-on, and also had an agreement with Sykes, she knew that she was not easy to mess with.

Ace touched his nose. He has a big heart and doesn't care about ordinary girls.

Sykes smoothed things over on the sidelines, and he extended his hand to Miss Rose Marquis, "My esteemed lady, let me take you home."

The Marchioness of Ross took Sykes's arm pretending to be affectionate, and showed it to the attendants of the nobles who were waiting near Mrs. Anne's gift shop. Of course, she did not forget to cast a sharp glance at Ace. Can't figure it out.Finally Sykes sent Miss Rose to the carriage.

Before Sykes got on the horse, he didn't forget about Ace. He said, "Does the scholar Ace want to go with us? I mean, since the Marchioness of Rose asked you to take care of the Marchioness of Rose."

Sykes probably had a gift for demagoguery.When his silver eyes stared intently at Ace, Ace had an illusion that he was a very important person to Sykes, and Sykes could stand in front of him with a gun and protect everything about him.

If Sykes treats everyone like this, Ace will not be surprised why so many noble ladies in the imperial capital want to live and die for him, and Princess Fenfur and Miss Ross Marquis are directly torn apart by him.And Sykes didn't put on such a pose on purpose, Ace thought his eyes looked very natural.

When Ace regained consciousness, he was already sitting in front of Miss Rose's carriage.

Ace was used to riding in a carriage, but he was about to open the curtain of the carriage but felt something was wrong. How could he ride in a carriage alone with the unmarried Marquise Rose?Ace turned around again, and pulled up the rein of the horse under Sikes' suspicious eyes, ignoring the trembling driver of the Marquis of Ross's house. "I'll drive the Marquise Rose."

Sykes: ...

Sykes wondered, "Is this a way for scholars to practice?"

Ace didn't look at Sykes' eyes at all, and Ace, who was afraid of being dazzled by the beauty again, blushed and said, "Yes."
