Leave that curly-haired young man who acted recklessly with Madam Helena...

Jamie can't rest assured no matter what.

He immediately decided secretly that if he couldn't find a way to send the other party away for a while, he would simply bring the person to him to hide.

In this way, even if the news is leaked, the ones who will be arrested will be those who are involved in it, so naturally it will not affect the kind and innocent Mrs. Helena from the beginning to the end.

Now he is full of guilt for those people who died tragically, regretting that he should not anger the king too much, and thinks that he should bear some responsibility for the death of these people.Therefore, I have the courage to ignore life and death, and feel that death is nothing to be afraid of. As long as death is worthwhile, it is a hundred times better than living.

After thinking these things through, the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart finally eased a little, and then he calmed down again, thinking of a solution as always, and began to think about how to solve this matter.

Then, he suddenly remembered something: "Looks like... the officer in charge of arresting fugitives is none other than my cheap father?"

It's a funny thing to say.

It is obviously child's play to have a chancellor of the exchequer running to catch criminals.

But when this matter was not serious at the beginning, it was a trick used by King Richard to tease and punish Lord Dressel.

He knew that the old man was not willing to do such a thing.

But he insisted on asking the other party to do it.

Just because whenever he wanted to do something, he was always stopped by the old man, and when he was free, he would be nagged by the old man constantly, telling him that he couldn't do this, and he couldn't do that. Doing, endlessly, endlessly.

So, he made up his mind that he must let the other party also taste the pain of "can't do what you want to do, but have to do what you don't want to do".

Dressel-sama has nothing to do.

He has always boasted that he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Therefore, whenever the king decrees,

Right or wrong, he will obey.

But this time the order was too much.

Nearly 200 people were beheaded at one time!

And these 200 people were brought back by him personally.

In fact, Master Dressel is not as soft-hearted as Jamie, and he doesn't value other people's lives that much.In addition, these 200 people had nothing to do with him, so there is no guilt.

But he still feels uncomfortable...

Because this time he led the team to arrest people.

Subsequently, those who were arrested were all killed.

Those foolish people outside dare not talk about the king, and privately regard him as the chief culprit.

Therefore, when he went out recently, everyone avoided him, and they always whispered behind his back: "Look, it's him! It's him! That terrible lord, xx was captured and killed by him!"

If only this is the case.

Anyway, the pointing of the common people did not cause any harm to the aristocratic nobles.

But what is even more exasperating is that after doing so much work and helping to bear a lot of scapegoat...

However, King Richard still wanted to smile in front of everyone, and beat him mercilessly: "I remember, there were 230 five signatures on the petition, right? But now, why are there still 18 signatures?" At large... Oh, my lord! I know you have always been loyal to me, but this job is not very beautiful! You seem to be very old now!"

Master Dressel, who has always had a good face, blushed because of this.

He parted his lips slightly, wanting to make many explanations: "This is not my job", "Besides, I have already arrested more than 200 people, and it didn't take much effort", "If you give me more time, I will definitely capture everyone."

But looking at King Richard's cold eyes...

For some reason, he swallowed all these words back.

As a result, the faces of the courtiers next to him could not help showing gloating expressions, as if to say: "Hahaha, look! Mr. Dressel, who has always boasted of being capable, will have a day of messing up his errands!"

On this day, Mrs. Dressel held on, returned home with great difficulty, staggered out of the carriage, and walked towards the study very slowly.

He frowned, his face was tense, he was exhausted physically and mentally, and he staggered. His face had already shown some obvious aging, and he moved to the study step by step, looking at the piles and piles on the table that hadn't The approved and reviewed documents almost wished to burn them all up with a fire.

"...What's the use? What's the use of working harder?"

Lord Dressel felt that his aging shoulders were almost unable to bear the burden of a country's finance minister.

He slumped down in the chair, thinking hard: "Why did Your Majesty treat me like this? That petition has nothing to do with me at all! I have tried my best to arrest the criminals. Although 18 people escaped, But in the past...he never cared about these things. He still remembers that time when the rebels escaped from prison. And me?"

——I always treat some people too forgiving, which makes them forget their dignity.

Suddenly, the words that King Richard said that day came to mind, as if a huge hammer had been hammered on the head.

Master Dressel shuddered shiveringly.

Involuntarily, he began to recall those things that he often provoked and disobeyed the king.

"When the royal family applied for funds to rebuild the palace, I rejected it."

"When His Majesty wanted to build a racecourse, I sternly refused."

"When he jokingly proposed to make Mrs. Laurels a duchess, I objected and suggested that he exile the temptress."

"When he didn't want to marry a wife, I insisted that he marry the queen..."

things like that.

There are too many, too many, and you can easily come up with dozens of them just by thinking about them.

——I always treat some people too forgiving, which makes them forget their dignity.

Lord Dressel kept thinking about the king's words, thinking about the more than 200 people who died inexplicably and tragically.

"I see, he never forgot..."

The old man finally got a little bit stunned, and couldn't help but murmured with a wry smile: "I thought those things were over. But it turned out that he remembered everything."

Probably because of the big blow...

When Jamie walked into the study, he saw this cheap dad, who was always tough and old-fashioned, sitting in a chair with his head downcast, as if every part of his body was not exhausted.

Even if he didn't get along well, he couldn't help but worry and said: "My lord, your complexion looks very bad."

There is a tacit understanding between the cheap father and son in private.

Without outsiders, Jamie would never call his father, and Lord Dressel also recognized this.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, the old man didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being called out to him, and only raised his head slowly: "What?"

Jamie then walked to the side wine cabinet.

He poured two glasses of wine and passed another glass of wine, showing concern: "Did you encounter any difficulties? I actually heard something about the eighteen people who escaped... "

Master Dressel took the wine glass and drank it down in just a few sips.

He stared blankly at Jamie for about ten seconds, then slowly turned his gaze away, and said slowly, "The eighteen criminals, it doesn't really matter whether they are caught or not. The important thing is It's... Louis, I'm afraid this family will depend on you in the future."

Jamie was taken aback.

You know, Louis's life experience is not a secret to the Dressel couple.

Therefore, the couple did not regard him as their child from the beginning.

And Jamie kindly did not regard the identity he pretended to be the heir of the couple.

Despite His Majesty's intentions, it is very likely that he supported him to inherit the Dressel family.

But no matter how you think about it, how shameless it is, it seems like doves are occupying the magpie's nest.

Jamie's original plan was to mix things up first.

Anyway, Mr. Dressel is old and strong, and there will be no question of inheritance for a while.

But now, this adult suddenly said that...

Is there any unknowable change in this?

Jamie was full of doubts.

But Master Dressel didn't say any more, got up and took the wine bottle, and poured himself a drink.

Seeing this, Jamie had no choice but to temporarily put away the curiosity that was not important at the moment, and continue to focus on the things in front of him

While drinking with the old man, he pretended to be chatting, and began to inquire about the eighteen escaped prisoners.

Until the situation that the official has grasped has been inquired clearly;

Mrs. Dressel also got extremely drunk after drinking...

He just ordered his servants to send this cheap father to the bedroom, and then notified Mrs. Dressel to take care of him.

Then, he wandered out, found a very random person, gave some money, and asked him to send a letter to a letter receiving point of the rebel army.

Considering that those who petitioned the king were not all commoners, but also some nobles.

In addition, this time because of something written by the second generation of the Mad Hatter, the king was angered, and so many people were implicated at once...

Jamie is actually a little unsure whether the rebels are willing to help this time?

But come to think of it, shouldn't it be worse?

Fortunately, these members of the rebel army who stayed in the royal city were not the kind of people who blindly hated the nobles.

And another thing that Jamie is worried about-something written by the second generation of the Mad Hatter angered the king and led to the king's condemnation?

They are called rebels by the government, are they still afraid of angering the king?

Haven't their existence always been an eyesore to the king?

As for convicting?

It's nothing more than one more crime on the top of his head!

So, these people enthusiastically expressed: "Mr. Mad Hatter, don't worry, we will definitely help save people."

Then, he added secretly: "You just need to write more articles, and leave any troublesome things to us."

Jamie has mixed feelings.

The guilt in his heart still hasn't disappeared, but at least it's not so burning.

In the next few days, some news came from the rebel army.

Of the 18 fugitives, they have already found seven of them, and the remaining 11 cannot be found anyway. Perhaps some of them have suffered misfortune; perhaps some clever ones have escaped from the royal city early; Too strict.

The first two are naturally needless to say.

The last one... Since you have the ability to hide it so that no one can find it, it is considered safe, so you don't need to worry about it.

As a result, people who are urgently needed to be sent out of the city...

Including Mrs. Helena's curly-haired young man Ian, there are eight people in total.

Go through things from beginning to end.

Jamie had some plans in mind, but he couldn't be too impatient, and had to wait patiently for the opportunity.

After a few days, King Richard's anger dissipated much.

In addition, he is not the kind of monarch who likes to be feared by the people around him. Even though the cruelty that treats human life as nothing is hidden in his bones, on the surface, he has always been a kind and good-tempered image.

So, when he realized that because of his anger, the surrounding atmosphere was too tense and serious...

He thought about it for a while, called the waiter beside him, and continued to give instructions like this, preparing to create some new topics to ease the atmosphere and let everyone relax their tense nerves.

As a result, the theater, which had been quietly closed due to the review of the law and the anger of the king, was finally able to reopen.

The aristocratic dandies who have nothing to do, have no ambitions, and don't care about the rise and fall of this country, playboy buddies have a place to play again, and they all cheered happily "Long live the king".

They thought heartlessly that the severe cold that was as terrifying as before had completely passed away, and from now on, they could eat, drink and play as freely as before.

At this time, the bloodstains of more than 200 people are still there, and the heroic spirits are not far away.

However, "The Thriller of Love", which was named and approved by King Richard himself, is already busy and ready to start!

Many people of insight looked at the somewhat explicit poster hanging outside the theater and shook their heads with ugly expressions.

But the lesson from the past is still there, no matter how dissatisfied these people are, they dare not say anything at this time.

And the opposite of them is...

Some young men and women who don't care about state affairs and only care about entertainment flock here like going to a market.

As a result, compared with the past, there were more people coming to the theater on this day.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention the situation on the other side of the box, the floor below the stage was already full of people.

The playboys who finally got another chance to have fun and the colorfully dressed prostitutes gathered together to laugh and play, and occasionally greeted each other: "Hey, I guess you must come too." "It goes without saying Is it? I'm almost bored to death, and my family has never let me out, so I have a chance..."

The air smelled of sweat and perfume.

And because there were too many people talking, the voices were too noisy, and they were far away, so I just heard them buzzing endlessly there.

The Viscount Blount was standing under the stage, looking up with resentful eyes.

He ultimately failed to win the leading actor role and was rejected by Jamie and Judian together.

Jamie's reason for vetoing him was inappropriate.

This Lord Viscount is not an actor at all, he just wants to show off and show off his (actually not) charm;

As for the reason for Judian's veto, there is a high probability that there is no reason.

He simply looked down on people, and he didn't bother to deal with this viscount who couldn't bring him any benefits.

Therefore, Viscount Blount had no choice but to reluctantly quit the crew, handed over his "Jessica", and received a fee for the adaptation instead, so he could barely comfort himself: "The love is gone, but the money is still there." a little."

only……

Now he is standing under the stage, thinking that his "Jessica" is about to compose a love song with another actor he doesn't know, and he can't help feeling sad: "Oh, my Jessica (my Jessica) Opportunity to show off)!"

At this time, because he had money (the fee for the adaptation).

Friends who had accidentally forgotten him remembered him again.

A dandy came quietly from behind him, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

Viscount Blount was so frightened that he almost jumped up, but when he turned around, he found that they were all people he knew, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn it, it's you!"

Several dandies who were watching the fun laughed loudly.

Immediately afterward, someone asked: "Brant, I heard that "The Scary Thief" is your personal experience?"

"I thought everyone knew about it."

Viscount Blunt pretended to be indifferent.

For the aristocrats had a pretentious fashion at this time.

Even if you care about one thing very much in your heart, you have to pretend to be calm on the surface, which is called demeanor.

Therefore, he had to beautify his behavior of telling stories everywhere in order to show off: "I encountered robbers at the time, although I was not very afraid in my heart, and there were other purposes... But considering that most people do not have this kind of experience , I don’t have the courage like me, in order to let everyone have some precautions and learn some lessons from it, so I mentioned it many times at the banquet..."

"Come on! I don't want to hear nonsense from you!"

Those dandies didn't buy it at all, and they all babbled: "Just tell us, is that female robber named Jessica beautiful?" "Have you ever slept with her?" "What does she look like in bed... "

At this moment, Viscount Blount's face suddenly changed drastically.

He looked at a person coming out of the darkness in the backstage, that person was slowly walking towards this side, the figure was very familiar, as if it was engraved in the bottom of his heart - like a goddess who saves the suffering, from a group of fierce and cruel Passing through the thieves, walking slowly - he subconsciously took a step forward, his face also showed a kind of excitement, and the "Jessica" almost reached his throat...

But the next moment, the man stepped into the light from the darkness.

Although the appearance is still eye-catchingly beautiful, but the attire, the clothes, and the demeanor are clearly a man, not a woman.

Moreover, he had met a few times, and he was indeed a good-looking man, the Earl named Louis.

Viscount Blount felt lost for a moment, and couldn't help staring at the other party in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

Therefore, the dandies next to him also turned their heads and followed his gaze.

When he saw the person, he sighed: "So it's him!" "If it's him, you can be forgiven for being dumbfounded all of a sudden."

Another person suddenly said sincerely: "No matter how many times I watched it, I still want to say that, regardless of gender, Louis can be called the number one beauty in our royal city, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before everyone had time to agree, they heard a very displeased cold snort.

A glamorous woman standing not far away turned down her face, glared fiercely in this direction, and left angrily.

Viscount Blount, who is not familiar with the upper social circle of Wangcheng, was very confused: "What's wrong with this lady?"

"Oh, it's all right, it's just that Mrs. Laureys doesn't like to hear that someone is more beautiful than her."

A dandy said indifferently: "But she is not ugly, but she is really not beautiful!"
