The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

In the end, the Tacoma mother and daughter stayed.

Sophia became Hardy's head maid.

They still live in the original room, the largest one, and the layout of the house has not changed.

But Sophia felt waves of strangeness.

It may be due to a change in identity, or it may be due to the disappearance of family members.

It was obviously a familiar place and a familiar smell, but it didn't give her any sense of security.

Guiweinil blinked at his mother and asked in a low voice: "Can I have some dessert?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go down and get it for you, but I can only eat two pieces."

Sophia spoke very gently, but she felt like crying in her heart.

More than a month ago, my daughter could just ask the servant to bring her as many cakes as she wanted. There was no need to limit the amount.

But Sophia also understood that it was the young Marquis who was 'merciful' that she could stay here and become the head maid.

She went down to the kitchen and asked for some pastries, and the maid next to her immediately brought them out for her.

These maids were all from the original batch. Although there was a new master, and Sophia also changed from mistress to head maid, no maid dared to look down on her.

Why?

Because Sophia is beautiful, and little Guiwenier is beautiful too.

This is the advantage.

Who knows if they will become masters again.

Sophia entered her daughter's room carrying two pieces of pastry.

Xiao Guiweinier picked up a piece of pastry and bit it gently. Then she pointed to another piece of pastry and said, "Mom will eat it too."

Sophia shook her head: "Mom still has things to do, so you can eat."

After that, she left the room and came to the study.

There were faint voices inside. Sophia waited for a while. After a soldier still wearing armor came out, she knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." The young man's voice sounded.

From Sophia's point of view, the boy's voice was very nice.

It seems very gentle, but also very powerful.

Sophia walked in and saw the boy reading a book.

It was my husband's former official business notebook, which contained many nasty stories about local minor nobles and wealthy businessmen.

The young man looked at it and smiled.

Sophia seemed to see her husband... He also smiled like this when he looked at the booklet.

But there is a difference.

My husband is not that young, nor is he that handsome.

"What's the matter?" Hardy looked up and asked.

Sophia lowered her head and said, "I want to know the master's eating habits, what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat?"

"I like vegetables and meat, but I don't like cheese." Hadi thought for a while and continued: "I don't like mummies either. I know there are many mummies here in Aijaka. Don't let these things into your home in the future."

Ajiaka imitates Francie in almost everything. They eat mummies even crazier than Francie.

There has even been a process and profit chain for making fake mummies.

Sophia took note of it and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Hardy suddenly called her.

A sudden thought occurred in Sophia's heart. She knew very well that her appearance was extraordinary, and she was afraid that what she was always worried about would happen.

Hardy looked at her and asked, "I was looking at this booklet just now. It records the tax changes in recent years."

Sophia looked at Hardy blankly.

Hardy continued: "But in the past two years, tax revenue has dropped sharply. Do you know why?"

Don’t you want that for yourself?

Sophia was stunned for a while, then she understood what Hardy meant and shook her head.

The two groups of fruits also swayed gently from side to side.

Hardy frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Then go and do your work."

Sophia walked out of the room.

Then she felt something was wrong. Was she disliked just now?

What a nasty boy.

An unpleasant situation arises in my mind.

Hardy actually didn't think that much.

He shook his head, not at Sophia, but at the record in the book.

He actually already knows why the tax revenue here has dropped so seriously in the past two years.

From what I saw and heard after entering the city, and then seeing this booklet, how could I not know what was going on.

Then, he called his adjutant with a golden bell and said: "Roger, you divide the knights into ten teams to maintain law and order on the streets. As long as someone is robbing and causing trouble, no matter what color or race, they will be arrested. If you dare If you resist, kill them on the spot.”

The last time he returned to Hukaro City, after leaving all the major affairs to the players, he brought Rogg out.

Roger nodded.

Hardy thought for a while and said: "Send a few more people to Louisian County to report the news, and ask Simon to bring a thousand infantry and come over within a month. Do you understand?"

Soon, Roger went out to do errands.

Hardy looked at the booklet again and shook his head vigorously.

"A good commercial city, a sea trade city, has been turned into this horrible state."

After Hardy clicked his tongue twice, he put the book back in its place and went back to his room to sleep.

He is sleeping in the guest room now. After all, the master bedroom is still for the mother and daughter.

When he woke up, he was eating breakfast in the main hall, and then Roger walked in. His expression was a little embarrassed, and he seemed to feel guilty. After hesitating for a while, he said: "Master, we have encountered some trouble."

"What trouble?"

"There are too many prisoners." Rogge said helplessly, "The prison can't accommodate them."

Hardy didn't find it strange. Rather, it was in line with his guess.

"How much more?"

"Five more prisons of the same size will not fit in."

Hardy chuckled twice, and then said: "Wait until I finish breakfast, then go over and take a look."

Soon, Hardy finished his breakfast.

As soon as she stood up, Sophia walked up and asked softly: "Master, when will you come back so that we can prepare the delicious food in advance."

"It's hard to say. You can eat it yourself first when the time comes."

Hardy replied casually, and then left with Rogge.

Sophia stood there in her maid uniform, a little at a loss.

As for Hardy, when he followed Rogge to the outside of the prison, he smelled a stench before he even got close.

Then Ha saw a dense mass of gray orcs kneeling outside the prison.

They put their hands behind their heads and looked scared.

There are hundreds of silver-winged knights patrolling around. If any gray orc dares to move, they will not be hit with a scabbard.

When Hardy came here, he couldn't help but sigh: "You also caught too many."

Rogge's expression became more and more helpless: "We have just arrested a wave of robbers, and they haven't even taken the people to prison yet. Then we encountered another wave, and they kept doing it over and over again. We can't catch them all, no matter what."

"This is not surprising. If the gray orcs don't have high-intensity management, this is what they will be like." Hardy smiled and said, "Let people set up a platform. I will announce something to them later."

Rogge asked curiously: "Your Excellency, you want to reason with them? To influence them?"

"Only fools do that kind of thing." Hadi said with a smile: "I just told them that because they committed a crime, now they have to undergo labor reform to wash away their sins."
