Today's update, celebrate the signing! Please support us!!!
-----------------
In recent days, the great chaebol Marquis Rudolph frequently visited the residence of Count Lin Feng, and then a large number of elf jewelry and jewelry appeared in the jewelry store of Count Lin Feng. Lin Feng even held a special auction and auctioned off a classic work of an elf court art master - the battle against the sky. It was a beautifully carved ring of four warriors around a huge sapphire.
The jewelry business of the Duke of Smith was completely acquired by Count Linfeng, who secretly supported Arcado. When he heard the price, Duke Smith happily signed the transfer and promised to take care of Count Linfeng's jewelry business in the future.
In the huge holy city of Caen, big businessmen and big chaebols are proud to meet the Marquis of Rudolph. Archbishop Rodaram, who has just recovered from a serious illness, once held a banquet in his mansion to entertain Arcado. The frightening secret assassination force of Archbishop Meuse seems to be punished around the Marquis Rudolph's residence. In good care, the road guard of the Marquis's mansion was heavily guarded. I heard that the soldiers personally arranged by the senior military department to protect the personal safety of the Marquis Rudolph. All of this shows Arcado's current status and glory.
Tonight, Arcado took Lin Rhea to attend the fundraising dinner of the eldest prince Chris, which was to raise a fundraising dinner to increase military pay to fight against the barbaric invasion of the Eternal Night Empire. Arcado generously donated 300,000 gold coins, and the eldest prince, who was given enough face, actually took Arcado's arm and drank a cup in public. The elf wine produced by Luo Mai.
When the eldest prince pleaded and left, the other nobles were like flies of stinky fish and surrounded most of them. They shouted about their property, hoping to cooperate with Rome Island, from grain and wood to horses and slaves, from spices to steel, which made Arcado a little overwhelmed. .
In desperation, Arcado had to ask Lin Ria for help and found a corner for these businessmen to record their titles, business projects and the scale of cooperation one by one, and then go back to study them in detail. In order to make Lin Riya familiar with the upper-class society in the imperial capital, Arcado entrusted her with this time-consuming and laborious supervision and audit task. As soon as this decision came out, Lin Ruiya was occupied by countless rich businessmen and could not escape for a moment.
"I'm a little tired. I'll go back first. After you record it, go straight home." Arcado knew that Lin Feng must be interested in this record and said casually.
Lin Ruiya stared at Arcado charmingly and nodded gently. Then began to record the work of businessmen.
Just as Arcado walked to the door, an old voice sounded from behind him: "Marquis Rudolph, are you in a hurry to leave?"
Acardo looked back, and his muscles suddenly tightened, and the surrounding air solidified, as if the cold flames in hell enveloped the earth. On Acardo's face, there seemed to be something knotting into frost. He raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the old man in front of him and the woman supporting him without emotion in his beautiful and slender eyes, and clenched his fist tightly with his hand in his pocket.
"My Marquis Violet Dodove, this is my precious granddaughter Violet Anne. Annie, I've almost met the Marquis of Rudolph. The old man narrowed his eyes and introduced himself and his granddaughter. The invisible pressure around him made him feel palpitations, but today he finally saw this God of Wealth-like existence. Of course, he had to do his best to get to know each other.
The beautiful and generous Violet Anne walked to Arcado, bowed her head and gave a deep salute, and said softly in a pleasant voice like a yellow warbler: "Viole Anne has seen the Marquis Rudolph. The Marquis Rudolph is really young and powerful." If it is replaced by a 30 or 40-year-old lustful aristocrat, this set of rhetoric can already make the other party smile and catch the stubble, such as a meaningless nonsense.
Unfortunately, Arcado opposite did not move at all, but looked at the woman in front of him with his eyes. He was not ready to meet these enemies. He couldn't restrain his inner hatred. He wanted to put a steel knife in the chest of the hateful old man in front of him now and rotate it hard. Circle.
Marquis Rudolph? Marquis Rudolph? The Marquis Violet carefully reminded Arcado that in his opinion, the flowery young man in front of him had been fascinated by his young and beautiful granddaughter. Humph, this Rudolph is nothing more than that. It seems that I won again this time, and the Marquis Violet couldn't help thinking proudly.
"My marquis is tired. Please leave. If you have anything, please visit me another day." Dick, who had been following Arcado, said coldly, which made the Marquis of Violet despise him for a burst of time and secretly said to himself: Your master has taken a fancy to my granddaughter. What's your name here?
"Don't you hear what my bodyguard said? Marquis Violet, you are so rude. Arcado finally brewed his feelings and said that the voice sounded to Anne, as if it were from a distant sky, making it impossible to speculate on a trace of the speaker's feelings.
The Violet Marquis, who was embarrassed by Acado's words, did not know how to continue the conversation, but he was unwilling. The embarrassment of being rejected and the unwillingness of not achieving his purpose made him really want to turn his head and walk away, but he couldn't think of any way to continue to pester. He thought that he had already The granddaughter who becomes a bargaining chip does not seem to be the key to winning.
"Marquis Rudolph, did you drive us away because we did something that made you hate?" Annie stepped forward and blinked her beautiful big eyes to look at Arcado. She looked very cute, but in the eyes of Arcado now, she has always been unable to get close to cuteness.
"So, miss, have you done anything wrong to others?" Originally, Arcado just wanted to drive away the annoying old and young, but his inner disgust stimulated by the seemingly cute Anne. Arcado no longer controlled his emotions and stared at Violet Anne who came to him fiercely and asked, "Or have you done a lot of things that are wrong to others?"
Anne suddenly stiffened there. Every time she woke up from a nightmare, it was because the twisted face she saw was pressed in front of her full of blood and stared at herself with the same eyes as now. That was a nightmare that she could not dissipate for many years. She has not married now. It's not that there are not many people proposing marriage, but that she suffers from severe intermittent autism. She has committed suicide many times, and there are records of hurting people. When she fell ill, she became hysterical, extremely dangerous and terrible. These are all Arcado's trembling eyes in those years. As a result, 14-year-old Anne couldn't forget these hate and tyrannical eyes on that day. She always thought that Akado was the devil, and she was a woman who was about to lose her soul and herself targeted by the devil.
"You! You are!" Annie said trembling a little.
I didn't expect that the second person who recognized my identity was the woman I hated in front of her. Arcado immediately interrupted her and said, "Yes, I am the Honorary Count of the Elf Forest, the Marquis of the Holy Empire, and Rudolf Arcado, the island owner of Rome Island!" The three words of Arcado were surprisingly heavy, but the voice was not loud, so the Violet Marquis, who was not young and stood two steps away, did not feel anything wrong.
But Anne's heart has turned up stormy waves, and the horror that made her sleepless at night finally came back, taking away her heart, her soul, and everything that belonged to him.
Acardo turned around and took Dick out of the hall. The Marquis of Violet had no choice but to give up his plan to meet Rudolph, but Anne hurriedly said goodbye to her grandfather and rushed out of the banquet hall.
