Chapter 131 Staying in the Palace

Fred looked at Mary who was kneeling in front of him, refusing to let him go, and his mood didn't change much.

After all, death is imminent, so you still have to struggle.

"Your Highness, I am willing to use all the property in the Earl's Palace in exchange for my father's safety." Mary quickly assessed the situation and made a decision that could be described as cutting off her tail to survive.

All the property in the Earl's Mansion is indeed huge, but its origin is unknown.

Fred laughed, his smile as bright as an angel's, but his words made Mary despair like a devil: "It doesn't have to be like this. If the noble family dies, then the property will also belong to the royal family."

From the beginning, there was no room for negotiation, and the royal family was determined to make it impossible for Beard to stand up.

"Your Highness -" Mary rushed to Fred's feet and stretched out her hand to grab his trouser leg, "We are cousins, do you really want to be so cruel?"

Cousins? Even now, are you still confused about the situation and your identity?

Fred held Mary's wrist and slowly pulled her hand away. His force was very clever. Mary felt that her hand was numb and all the strength in her hand was gone, so she had to let go.

"Ulysses doesn't even dare to claim to be cousins ​​with me, but you are so brave." Fred threw away Mary's hand like a piece of garbage, "A child born out of an illegitimate child is worthy of discussing kinship with me?

"

Strictly speaking, Fred didn't care whether a person was an illegitimate child. When he was employing people, he only looked at whether the person was useful. No matter how noble the status was, a useless person was worthless to him.

Not to mention that the Beards are not even useful, they are simply harmful.

What he said was nothing more than a small warning given by him because he knew that Mary was always proud and inferior to her identity.

Mary was trembling all over. Fred's words seemed to have removed her fig leaf, making her want to crawl into the ground in embarrassment.

"Your Highness..." Mary cried and begged, "Please let my father go. He was just deceived. He will never commit treason. Please give him another chance."

Of course he knew that Beard didn't do it on purpose. With Beard's IQ, if it was intentional, it would have been exposed long ago. Besides, what good would treason do to Beard?

"So you and Gray can live." Fred looked at Mary and said calmly. The royal family only planned to kill Beard, and spared Beard's children, whether they were legitimate or illegitimate. "

If I were you, go back now and see how much property you can take away."

Then he pulled Mary away forcefully, asked her to get out of the way, and then walked away from her.

Mary sat in silence for a while. After she came to her senses, she wiped away her tears, got up and left in a hurry.

His Highness is right. She has tried her best to save her father, but His Highness doesn't agree. She has no choice. She has to save herself first, right?

Human beings are selfish in nature, and Mary's coldness is partly related to Beard's lack of concern for his children. How can a person who spends all day and night out have a deep relationship with his children? Moreover, Mary

She wanted to save him, largely for her own sake. After all, without this title, how could she still gain a foothold in the nobility?

But when life is at stake, this title becomes insignificant.

Fred returned to his palace, and Safi and Felissa were waiting for him. They were not waiting for him specifically, but it was just inconvenient for them to move around the palace without Fred.

"What are you doing?" Fred looked at the papers scattered on the table, a little confused, but politely did not read the contents on the letter paper.

Felissa, who was writing furiously, raised her head and smiled: "This is a reply. Your Highness can take a look."

After receiving permission, Fred took out a piece of letter paper and looked at what Felicia had written.

This reply is addressed to Nana.

"Nana proclaimed:

I am now at the palace. Your father is staying at the palace to assist as a witness to Earl Beard's treason. I will be able to return home safely in a while. However, the royal family already knows that your father will underreport the situation of the territory by 20% every year.

, hope you can do it yourself.

Felicia stayed.”

It is no secret that nobles underreport their territory's harvest in order to reduce taxes. The royal family also knows it, but there is nothing they can do about these nobles. But if the royal family finds out that the nobles used the money to participate in some gatherings or activities in Beard

, in just a few minutes, these nobles can be labeled as colluding with Beard to treason, and all the money was used to fund Beard's treason.

Felissa's reply seemed very considerate, but in fact it contained a threat.

Basically every reply is like this, with subtle details. This is to build momentum for Ulysses' intelligence department, telling the nobles that the royal family is aware of your every move and can make you "treason" at any time.

"Your Highness, I want Felissa to stay in the palace these days, is that okay?" Safi asked Fred, "I'm afraid she will be in trouble when she goes back."

Once these letters are sent out, Felicia will definitely have many visitors when she returns home, and there is no telling what will happen to her. Safi feels that it is safest for Felicia to stay in the palace.

Fred asked first: "Then you will stay too?"

Safi showed a slight hesitation, and Felissa immediately said: "Safi, please stay with me. I am a little scared to be alone in the palace."

Now that Felissa said this, Safi nodded and agreed.

Fred immediately ordered someone to tidy up the guest room.

Felicia then finished writing the remaining letters, packed them all, and gave them to the maids in the palace. She asked them to stamp them with the royal unicorn mark on the wax, and then sent them to each household.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Felicia," Fred said with a smile, "The room has been tidied up, let's go and see if there is anything we are not satisfied with."

Who dares to say that they are not satisfied with the royal guest room? This is just an excuse for Fred to drive Felissa away because he wants to be alone with Safi.

Felissa understood, so Felissa stood up smoothly and lifted up her skirt to salute: "Then I'll take my leave first."

The maid took Felissa to her room and stood at the door with a gentle smile: "This is your room. I'm at the door. If you need anything, call me at any time." Then she bowed slightly and left.

When the maid was completely out of her sight, Felissa breathed a sigh of relief and threw herself heavily into the soft sofa.

Azarez checked the inside and outside of the room, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he returned to Felissa and probed her forehead: "Are you tired?"

In fact, in the palace, although I looked relaxed, my inner pressure was not small. Moreover, I wrote so many replies in one breath. Each letter had to be carefully thought about how to word it to look appropriate. In fact, it can create pressure and consumption on the other party.

He also has a lot of brain power.

Felicia shook her head: "It's okay, how are you?"

This question was incomprehensible, but it made Asalez wary.

In fact, he felt uncomfortable from the moment he entered the palace. There seemed to be a natural barrier in the palace that sealed his dark magic. Although there would be no problem as long as he did not use dark magic, the discomfort lingered.

go.

She is his eldest lady. Did you see anything?
