Two hundred and thirtieth chapter happy
Chapter 233 Happy
In the temporary palace, the queen's dormitory.
The mother-in-law combs the little girl's hair as she used to. In fact, the little girl has very beautiful long hair, like a black waterfall, with a moderate length and light that can be seen. What's even more rare is that her hair is very soft and easy to comb and dress up.
"...So, in the end, Rotia saved Berel's life. Alas, I'm so lucky." The little girl was introducing the recent incident to her mother-in-law. "If he was assassinated in Eagle City..."
She didn't say what would happen below. However, even a fool understood that it meant a very bad situation.
"But he wasn't dead, right?" The mother-in-law didn't seem to care much about these political matters. "Speaking of it, thanks to Rotia..."
"Yes, otherwise this time it will be miserable." The little girl was a little depressed. In this matter, her entire palace was not as useful as Rotia.
"By the way, I heard that Lord Scadra has started to prepare for moving back to the palace?"
This is actually an inevitable consequence, because this temporary palace and the residence of the former Regent's minister have indeed seemed too cramped. For this growing court, it was just a matter of time.
"Scadra wants to do everything as well as possible." The little girl replied. Speaking of which, the garden of the palace is probably full of weeds that are tall. In addition, the traces left by the mutiny, it may take a certain amount of time to sort it out.
"Ashu Rufate... You didn't seem to have seen him during this period." The mother-in-law asked in a gentle voice unique to the elderly. "Is it inconvenient recently?"
Although it was behind the little girl, the mother-in-law clearly felt the little girl's mood.
"Is it happened...what happened?" the mother-in-law stopped combing and asked softly. "Is it, what impact did the rumor in Eagle City... have had on him?"
"He...he rejected me." After a long time, the little girl finally answered. Just like all girls of this age, she also needed a person to tell her. The mother-in-law happened to be the best person. She told her that day, that is, what happened on her birthday, without missing any of it, and of course, it also included the words Rotia said to her.
To be honest, the little girl hasn't figured out whether it was Rotia's words of comfort or truth.
It sounds a bit strange. When I was telling this, the little girl found that she was very calm, able to be very rational, and could tell the whole thing clearly, without any turmoil in her heart.
"So that's the case, so you cried?" said the mother-in-law with a chuckle. To put an objective sentence, it was the laughter of the mother-in-law that broke the little girl's calm mood just now. Anger surged into her heart.
"Mother-in-law, how could you say that..."
"You're crying?"
"I didn't cry, I didn't even feel like crying! It's just... I just don't know why tears are not obedient at all..."
"Silly kid, why are you so anxious?" said the mother-in-law softly. "You are doing a gambling, but you are not sure of winning. You are too young and too impulsive..."
"Then...what should I do?"
"Nothing is done... in fact, there is no strategy to win, nor a strategy to lose. Sometimes, we can only entrust everything to the vague and unknowable fate and the innate instincts of women."
"Mother-in-law, this...Rotyya said she had to fight for it. She should take everything seriously as a war!"
"Maybe this is, maybe not. How do men and women attract each other? I'm afraid no one can explain it clearly. Sometimes, maybe you beat that man - or even beat him half to death, and he will fall in love with you. Sometimes, as long as you show a little bit of violence, you will let the man stay away..."
...
"Ms. Rotia..." Berel tried his best to keep a smile, but he couldn't help feeling a faint pain in his lower body. This was not the pain from his body - he was not seriously injured. The doctor had made sure that it would not take too much time for him to recover, but he couldn't help but think of Rotia's clean and neat leg.
Berel is not the lucky one who has fought for a lifetime but has never been injured. In fact, he has been injured quite a lot. However, no matter which time he was injured, he did not leave such a deep impression on him like Rotia's kick, or caused such serious mental damage to him that when he saw Rotia, his first reaction was to tighten his legs.
"Can you come and find it..."
"Don't talk to me in this tone!" Rotia snorted, clearly showing that she was not in a good mood. Indeed, she was so angry that she saw Berel. "You know what I'm here to do."
"This..." Beller had to explain that he did not have any premonitorial ability. If so, he would not have been hit with such a shameful and painful blow. Fortunately, Beller was confused by "fighting with the assassin" and finally left a little face. As we all know, it is well known that everything is used in close combat. In such a deadly fight, it is not embarrassing to be attacked on the vital part of his lower body. Of course, being kicked by a woman is another matter.
"All nonsense! Well, I'm clear, I'm here to ask for money." Rotia said. "Don't forget that you still owe me my debts and haven't paid them back!"
Berel had to emphasize again that he did not bring money. He came to Eagle City as a foreign envoy. All food and daily life were paid by the official Eagle City. He didn't need to bring too much money. What he brought with him could only be considered pocket money, and a mere number could not satisfy Rotia's appetite.
Of course, as Rhodeya had known before, Belar has lost the credit for borrowing money from the Chamber of Commerce or someone else. From the perspective of a third party, the whole situation can be like that Belar is a completely weed-like land and can never grow any crops. Unless you have the ability to squeeze oil from the stone, the debt would be better ended here. Not to mention that this matter is not a serious debt.
But it is obvious that Rotia is the one who has the ability to squeeze oil from stones.
"Of course I know you have no money," Rotia said disdainfully. "So you have to pay the bill with something! Fortunately, someone in Eagle City paid to know what you talked to Ashu Rufat today."
"I thought..."
"Now your security is very secure here, and it is impossible for others to eavesdrop. Ashu Rufate is another rich man who doesn't care about money at all. He can't buy news from him with money. So the final result is... those curious people have a high price for what you are talking about today!" Rotia said. "Tell me, let's forget about the accounts between us!"
"We really didn't talk about anything, we just analyzed the situation on the front line." Berel replied frankly. He had nothing to hide in this regard. "It was entirely some planning and estimation of future battles... the details are really inconvenient to inform, and I believe that the person who wants to buy the news will not be interested in this."
"Then why did you come to Ashu Rufate, not someone else?"
"Isn't this very obvious? There is no doubt that he must be one of the generals when he went to the expedition." Berel understood very well. "It is always better to communicate in advance."
"Nothing else?" asked Rotia. She could believe Belar's answer, but she could not be sure if anyone else believed it.
"Of course, what else can I talk about besides this?" Berel replied.
Speaking of which, it was actually a bit crazy that she came to the door openly. All her subordinates thought it was a stupid behavior - because the status of both sides was completely unequal. Taking advantage of the assassination to lock Belar in her store and extortion was one thing, and coming to the door to pay for the account was another thing. However, Rotia instinctively felt that she should be able to succeed - in fact, Belar's first reaction was not to call the guards immediately or slam her out, but to meet her with a smile, and she knew that it was done.
Although she didn't know why Berel was like this. She just instinctively felt that she could do this.
After Rotia left, Belar breathed a long sigh. The trouble was finally solved. He turned around and wanted to go out, but saw that Robin was already standing at the door.
"General, this woman is..."
"Rotyya, do you remember what I told you?" Berel replied.
"Is that mysterious woman? The little queen's temporary tutor?" Robin said. He did not hear the conversation between the two people just now - Robin has always respected Beller. If he lay at the door and eavesdropped, he must have received Beller's permission or accusation. He would never be too curious about those Beller's private conversations. "General, how do you know her?"
"Well... the assassination a few days ago." Berel touched his face. "It was she who saved me. Without her, Robin, now you can probably bring my coffin back home."
"What? By the way, General, you said that she seemed to be with the gangsters of Eagle City..."
"Not it seems, it's certain. This Ms. Rotia is the boss of the underground gang forces in the Hawk City!" said Beller. "Doesn't it feel a bit incredible to do this as a woman?"
"Ah? How is it possible? How did she do it?"
"I don't know this detail. I just need to know that she is the big leader of the underground gang of the Eagle City. Robin, do you still remember the 'diplomats' we disappeared in Eagle City before? I can almost do that because of this lady Rotia."
"She... has been officially incorporated?" Robin asked in confusion.
"No, how could the official recruit gangsters?" Berel smiled slightly. "If it were recruitment, she wouldn't have become the queen's temporary tutor, right? According to my understanding, the two sides formed an alliance."
“Alliance?”
"Well, the queen of the earth world and the queen of the underground world... the alliance between the two kings." Berel laughed. "It's really incredible to say, it's simply a miracle."
"General, what did she come to you this time?"
"This..." A embarrassed expression appeared on Beller's face. "I came to collect the bill. Look, my creditors are here now, isn't it very miserable?"
"But... General." Robin looked at Beller's face. "You seem to be happy to see her?"
