Chapter 170 Understanding

The noble district of Eagle City is brightly lit at night.

Unlike civilian areas, commercial areas and other places, for many nobles, evening is the beginning of social activities. In particular, hotels - hotels in the noble areas are almost all open to business, in order to provide services to these nobles with huge consumption power. According to the consistent view of merchants, with very few exceptions, there is no better person to make money than nobles.

In the middle of the nobles of Eagle City, there is a very exquisite building. It is not a mansion of a noble, but a hotel - a hotel that is truly impeccable in all aspects. Because even by the most picky aristocratic standards, it is very outstanding. Regardless of the layout, decoration, service, and wine and food, they are the best in the world of human beings. Of course, such a place is also very expensive. It is so expensive that even small and medium-sized nobles can come in and enjoy it.

This is the cash prize for wealthy customers.

At this moment, in the VIP area on the third floor of the hotel, a group of guests are enjoying delicious wine and delicacies here. Above the banquet, the guests and hosts are having fun.

Even if a completely stranger is on the side, it can be seen that this is not an ordinary banquet for friends. There are six people in this group, five of whom can tell at a glance that they are companions, they are the hosts, and the sixth is the guests who were invited.

The man who was invited was of medium figure, about forty or fifty years old, with a slightly bald head. He had no unforgettable characteristics in his appearance, but he was wearing a golden dress and the buttons were made of agate. This type of clothing had no market among other people except those nobles who like to show off. From this point alone, it can be seen that this one should be an aristocrat. The other five, although the clothes on their bodies were also exquisite, could be seen from the subtle movements that consciously or unconsciously reveal them, it can be seen that these were merchants.

At this time, three rounds of drinking had already passed, and the nobleman had already had five points of alcohol.

"Sir, please help me explain this matter to the Prime Minister..."

"...Mr. Kagbo... Your request is quite difficult." The "adult" shook his head and said in an official voice, "You know, the last time you actually asked the Prime Minister to force a debt... This matter made Prime Minister Ailin regarded it as an insult... He has said that the debt will definitely be paid. But in the future...If you don't say anything else, your tariffs will never be reduced next year."

"It's all misunderstandings, misunderstandings! We just..."

"The Chamber of Commerce will make debts from the Prime Minister... It will be really angering to say it. Everyone knows that the Prime Minister has a strong concept of bloodline. He will never swallow his anger after being insulted like this. But on the other hand, the Prime Minister also has a sense of honor. If he says he will avenge his private revenge in private, there is no need to worry. As long as all your business is in line, I think the Prime Minister will not take any fierce measures."

This is naturally light and light. But for a chamber of commerce, if a prime minister is thinking about finding a basket, the business will be difficult. Not to mention anything else, it will be enough for everyone to check it out several times a day.

"but……"

This is a real elegant seat, just by the window, you can clearly see the scenery downstairs - of course, because of the night, the view is limited at this time. But even so, it still gives people a sense of relaxation and joy.

"Look at it, that carriage." I don't know who said suddenly.

At this moment, at the entrance of the hotel, a luxurious carriage was parked there. The car had four wheels and two horses, and the carriage was decorated with gorgeous red satin, and there were several exquisite sculptures on the roof.

Although Eagle Falcon City is a royal city, there are really not many carriages of this type. This is not because the people here have no money, but a custom - there are few carriages in Eagle Falcon City, but they are mainly two-wheeled. If you study it carefully, you may think that this is related to the prosperity of the city itself - because the streets of Eagle Falcon City are often crowded, so the four-wheeled carriage is really not useful.

From this point of view, this carriage must be owned by people from other places.

The carriage door opened and an old woman in a black dress walked down from the carriage.

"Countess Marianne!" A person standing at the door of the hotel met. "You are late."

"Sorry, I took the wrong path." Countess Marian, Aunt Mary, said with a smile. "Maybe it's because I've been away from this city for too long, so I'm not very familiar with the road now."

While speaking, the old woman followed the one into the hotel.

"This...Who is Countess Marian?" Several drinkers upstairs who were by the window saw this scene and asked someone.

"Countess Marianne? I remember it should be the wife of Count Mikel." Someone replied. "I remember twenty or thirty years ago... the former king was still in power. She was a famous slut in the city of Hawks. Legend has it that many people were jealous in duels."

"Oh, it's her...I remember that Earl Mikel... was killed by the invading barbarian."

"That's right, that's a hero against the barbarians. Although he died in the battle in the end, he won the battle no matter what, and unfortunately died in the victory. What a pity, if Earl Mikel was still there, maybe this situation in our country would not be like this now. However... this Earl might not have expected that his wife would inherit all his property status and then look for a little boy all over the world..."

"Oh, I've heard of it... it's the one before. But I really can't tell."

"After decades, people will change." Someone replied. "I heard that this man seemed to have committed some crime... and was later expelled from the Hawk City? Why did she come back?"

"Have you heard of it? Her niece, the Earl of Ashurufat! What's there to dare to do now? Who else dares to settle the old accounts with her? Besides, when Byron was in charge of the administration, the old people killed and rushed, and the ones who didn't kill or rushed were all bearded. I'm afraid no one would want to mention this old thing."

"Speaking of this, the Earl of Ashurufat... seems to have no contribution to the city of Fornoros this time. On the contrary, General Essin... has heard that he has conquered several dens of rebels recently. The Prime Minister has been busy selecting suitable officials to take over the territories' territory..."

...

The moon is in the sky. The garden of the temporary palace is quiet. This was once the residence of the Regent Byron. Like all such mansions, a large area has been built into a garden. The most exquisite flowers and trees of the planters were once planted here, but after almost a year no one has sorted them out, the garden has become weeds.

All these exquisite and beautiful plants have one common feature, that is, they will soon be defeated by ugly, but tenacious weeds and thorny shrubs without gardeners’ care.

The little girl stood under the moon, raised her eyes to the sky, and looked at the sky. Rotia stood beside her. The queen came out with her like this and went here for a night tour. There was no reason. Like all smart people, she chose to wait quietly without making a sound.

"Rotia, I'll ask a question." The little girl finally stopped looking at Xingxing and turned to look at Rootia. "Do you think Ash Rufate is a bad guy?"

"Bad man? It depends on what definition. In some ways, it is not wrong to say this." Rotia showed a deep thoughtful expression. "The first thing I saw was that he was a very terrible person, but he also felt... he was a very reliable man. Later, as I understood it, I realized that my first intuition was actually very correct. Basically, for women, he was the ideal husband. But on the other hand, if one day he had to stand on the hostile side," Rotia suddenly smiled. "He would probably crush me mercilessly. Because I instinctively felt that he was very cold, and he would never show mercy because his opponent was a woman. But in this regard, the facts seemed to be contrary to my intuition, so I was not very sure."

"Ah..." The little girl seemed to have never expected such an answer.

"He is the cruelest and most ruthless man, although he is also the most outstanding man," said Rotia.

"I mean... he... is that kind of liar? He said those righteous words, but in fact he was doing stealing things?"

"Ah, that's almost impossible. Why, Your Majesty, what did you find?"

"I... discovered something today. Ashu Rufate seemed to have been embezzling. He was trading high and low through a chamber of commerce." The little girl shook her head vigorously. "Although I can't believe it, it's true! There is no way to deny it." She looked at Rotia, and her expression was obvious that she wanted to cry but couldn't cry.

"Ah... it's impossible. He's a rich man, and there's no need at all." Rotia was a little surprised. "Besides, that man is very arrogant, even if he is a thief, he is still a thief. A liar or something... the possibility is too low. I have a lot of confidence in my eyes."

"But that is very real evidence. It's something that even if you want to deny it, you can't deny it!"

"Ahhh, then you have already reached a conclusion. If you have already reached a conclusion, then why do you ask others what you do? This doesn't seem like what the queen is going to do."

"Rotyya, don't talk like this. I really... really... don't want to believe this! Are all the people in the world similar? Are there no one in the world who deserves to be trusted?"

The smile drifted from Rotia's face.

"I am your tutor and I have to teach you only two things. One of them looks at the real desires of others through superficial reasons." Rotia said. "Do you still remember the method I taught you?"

"You have to know a person in detail and understand all aspects of him, and then you can get the purpose he really wants from his superficial words." The little girl replied. This is a standard answer, a kind of thing that is simple to say but difficult to do.

"Do you... understand Ashu Rufate?" asked Rotia.

"I..." the little girl hesitated for a moment and asked back. "Do you understand?"

"To be honest, I don't understand," replied Rotia. "But I have a lot of experience because I have seen countless people's true faces. Although there is nothing to boast about, with this experience, I can guess what kind of person he is."
