03 Viscountess

After entering Belsas, there is a long mountain road, which is full of tall trees, suitable for the survival of large beasts and even dragon beasts. Therefore, this is a rather dangerous area for human beings.

In addition to beasts and dragon beasts, this complex area is also rich in one thing, that is, the band of thieves. Therefore, people are still the most vicious. In order not to let the thieves stare at themselves, most people will choose to walk together when they pass through here. Then, this has become a paradise for mercenaries to survive.

There will be a small town through Belsas Pass. The name of this town is Ibison. Although the town is not big, it is unexpectedly prosperous, especially in such a time of chaos. A large number of mercenaries are waiting here to hire their bitter masters with a lot of money, make so much money, and then live happily for a long time. This kind of life makes the soldiers who were drafted to fight desperately with the Parsa people.

The Cregan family is the old customer of these mercenaries. They have set up a stronghold here, and Ennis Cregan, the heir of the family, is responsible for dispatching personnel.

The Kerrigan family, which has lasted for a hundred years, is an aristocrat who started from merchants and has been able to obtain hereditary succession. In addition to the huge lineage of their family for generations, the strict selection of heirs of each generation is also one of the important reasons for its prosperity. Viscount Ennis Cregan, one of the four heirs, is full of confidence in the position of marquis, because he has been supported by another huge marquis family, the linden family.

In order to show sincerity, the Bhutan family married the famous tearful Lucia to him as his wife. Such luck made Ennis feel fluttering.

It turns out that this woman is not only beautiful, but also very capable. Soon Ennis was convinced by her decisive means and decided to leave some of her own affairs to his wife to show her importance to the Bhutan family. However, there has always been one thing that makes him worried: this woman is so excellent that she is not the kind of noble lady who can be naive and can be fooled casually. On the night of the wedding, she told Ennis directly: She just helped Ennis successfully ascend to the position of head of the family. If she succeeds, she will be the wife of her life; if she fails, the Bhutan family will not waste any resources on an abandoned child.

Before becoming a marquis, anyone will feel like a thorn in his throat if he can't touch a finger of his beautiful wife!

Originally, Ennis thought that it was just that his wife was too rational. He had no choice but to make such a decision for the family. Anyway, he needed the support of the Bhutan family, so he had to make concessions. However, since she brought back a man and a woman from outside the gate yesterday, Ennis suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although his wife explained that these were two old people in the Bulindan family, the strange thing is that she didn't say anything to the two old people from beginning to end, and she didn't even pay too much attention on them. If this is really the case, he will not be surprised. For businessmen, there is nothing to deal with the resources that can't be used, even if the friendship is rejud. But after that, the wife would go to the room of the two people several times a day. According to the servant, as soon as she put down the work at hand, she would go to that room. Whether you can get in or not, you should stop there for at least five minutes.

This strange contrast immediately made Ennis smell strange.

Who are these two people? Ennis, who was painstaking**, used the contacts in his hand to check his former wife's old friends, and it turned out that there were no two people at all.

Are there any other plans of the Lin Dan family? He is not sure, but that state is obviously a very important thing for his wife. Originally, he didn't want to touch the internal affairs of the Lindan family, but he was also a little worried about his wife's appearance, so Ennis decided to let the servants secretly monitor the meeting between his wife and the two.

Because of some relationships, the surveillance was not very successful, but the words from the servant surprised him: the other party's identity should be a criminal of the empire.

As a businessman, Ennis is most afraid of getting involved with such people. Young, his ambition is to be the most successful businessman, and the decline of those big businessmen began because he had to get involved in other fields.

Dinner after a busy day is the only time when Ennis can chat with his wife. Even though today's affairs have made him a little tired, he still decided to talk to his wife.

The bright magic chandelier illuminated the whole restaurant, and Ennis and Lucia, who had no children, sat face to face at a not-so-beam table. Each uses a silver knife, fork and spoon to enjoy the veal specially cooked by the chef who was invited back from Xilin.

In order to speak conveniently, Ennis solved his dinner twice as fast as usual, "I'm full."

"Hmm." Lucia looked at him curiously and didn't say much, because she was thinking about other things.

" Lucy, I know you're busy, but I have something to talk to you about today." Ennis uses his words carefully, and he wants to maintain his respect even in front of his wife.

Lucia nodded slightly and put down her knife and fork, "Honey, what do you want to say?"

These three words are the most used names for Ennis now. He sorted out his thoughts a little and carefully tested, "Will they always live here about the two people you brought back the other day?"

Lucy raised her eyebrows slightly as if she understood something, "Honey, what are you worried about? This is just my two former friends. It doesn't matter to live here!"

"Well, it's okay to live, but do you know what the Empire is going to do recently? I think we should communicate more directly about some things. Ennis said cautiously.

After hearing this, Lucia collapsed her eyelids and was silent without saying a word. Ennis looked at his beautiful wife nervously, because she had never been angry, which made Ennis afraid that her words would make her unhappy. You know that it was terrible for people who are not angry usually get angry once they get angry.

"I'm sorry," I thought the other party was going to be angry, but suddenly such a sentence made Ennis a little confused, but Lucia did not look at his stunned expression. "I'll tell you about this later, okay?"

Ennis was also silent and thought about half of the offer. He still felt that this kind of thing was not a joke: "If there is anything, you can say it. I'm your husband, and I hope I can share it for you."

Lucia shook her head and took a deep breath. "Don't ask anymore, I'm afraid I can't stand it." After saying that, she put down her tableware, took the silk scarf, and turned away.

There was only one person left, Ennis, who was at a loss, staring at his wife's back disappearing at the doorway.

-

At this moment, Xiusi is practicing sword alone in the courtyard. Chiyo went to drink and probably won't come back for a while. When there was nothing to do, Xiusi would subconsciously want to practice swords. As for why, Xiusi himself didn't know why.

At this moment, he had the dragon teeth of the tiger Chiyo in his hand. Although Chiyo was a little depressed when talking about the knife, she still insisted that the knife was Xius, so he accepted it confusedly.

Waving the cold and shining blade in the night, he has an inexplicable sense of security. Halfway through his practice, he suddenly heard the rustling footsteps stepping on the lawn behind him.

"Chiyo, finally came back..." Xiusi turned around and found that it was not Chiyo, but the kind-hearted woman who took him and Chiyo, although she looked about the same age as herself. "Ah, I thought it was Chiyo, Mrs. Kerrigan, good evening."

If it was usual, the dignified woman would gently nod to herself, but this time, Sius did not hear the unexpected answer. Xius, who realized that something was wrong, looked at the other curiously and found that the mature and steady woman had tears in her eyes and stared at herself.

"Well, madam, what's wrong with you?" Xiusi was a little puzzled, but he still expressed his condolences carefully to show his concern.

" Lucy." Mrs. Cregan suddenly came up with such a word.

"Ah?" Xius looked at each other in a daze and didn't know what she was talking about.

" Lucy," the beautiful woman trembled and seemed to be enduring something. "That's what you used to call me."

"Uh, I'm sorry, but..." After the habitual apology, Susi couldn't continue. After getting married, he will not use his boudoir name. He still knows this. If he calls the other party's boudoir name, it will have a sense of flirtation.

Biting his lower lip, the tears kept rolling at the corners of his eyes, but they never fell down. "Why, why did you become like this when you saw goodbye? Why did I bet on my life's revenge in exchange for this result?

"I'm sorry, madam, I don't understand what you said." Sius waved at a loss, but the current atmosphere gave him a sense of guilt that he could not forgive even if he apologized 10,000 times.

The woman approached step by step, trembling as if she was about to fall down next. "At that time, I thought that if you liked me, it would definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life and remember me for the rest of your life; if you didn't like me at all, then I will completely give up. Everything is my own affectionate! But why, why did you forget everything! Why?"

"Uh, I'm sorry..."

"Don't say sorry!" The woman closed her eyes and tears flowed down her eyes. She took a long breath and stretched out her arms to Hysi, who was already close to her. "Kiss me, or walk away."

At this time, the two did not find a figure standing in the shadow of the courtyard corridor.
