The word game started after being picked up by the cat ear girl

April 3122, 4 of the Tire calendar, the spring season.

City of prayer.

The fluttering pink tree flowers floated around the city with the warm wind, and the sweet floral fragrance filled the entire city. Many city residents chose this day to travel.

Today is a good day to get married and travel.

The residence of the Duke of Morlot.

The city lord's palace, which occupies the best central location in the city and covers an area of ​​up to one-tenth of the city, is decorated with lights and colorful decorations today, and there are maids arranging floral decorations and flowers everywhere.

All the guards in the mansion are also in full preparedness and waiting at all the important roads to prevent unexpected situations.

After watering the flowers, a head maid who was assigned to the garden put down the showerhead in her hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Someone beside her complained softly: "It seems like I can't rest all day today. I'm almost exhausted."

The head maid turned back and said coldly: "Stop complaining and do your job well. If today's work is successful, then we may be able to receive a reward equivalent to a normal salary of several months or even one or two years."

"I'm sorry, Maid Xcecily."

The scolded little maid hurriedly apologized.

Then she asked in a low voice with a curious look on her face: "Maid Cesili, I heard that today the Grand Duke Kelly of Silver City is coming to our city lord's mansion to formally propose marriage to our Duke for his son. ?”

"Yes, otherwise why would we make it so formal?"

Xesili didn’t mean to hide anything.

Anyway, servants like them will know it sooner or later.

This is no secret, and many people have already speculated.

The son of Archduke Kelly, since the eldest lady came back, he has been running to the mansion every two days to talk to Miss Floresia.

It just seems like the results are not very good.

Although Xesili was not the head maid in charge of housekeeping, she heard from her colleagues that the eldest lady did not like the young master of Duke Kelly's family. Even if they had afternoon tea together, the eldest lady would treat him after he left. The tea set he drank from was thrown away directly.

"I don't understand why Miss Floresia is so resistant to this marriage."

The little maid looked puzzled and said: "Being able to marry the young master of such a top noble family is something that we servants can't dream of for several lifetimes, but Miss Floresia doesn't take it seriously at all. I I have seen the appearance of Master Iroh from a distance before. He looks very handsome and is the perfect marriage partner. If you don’t want it, you can just give it to me."

"I advise you not to think too much."

The head maid looked helplessly at the little maid who was already in a daze.

Young girls always dream that one day they can marry into a wealthy family and become a phoenix, but they have never thought about why young men from wealthy families would like a sparrow like you.

In this world, there are not so many romantic plots that only appear in poetry and drama.

For maids like them, they are lucky to be able to work for the Duke. If they think about something else, the only end result will be death.

In decades of work, she has seen many beautiful maids who tried to seduce Master Lesirelia. After losing their innocent bodies, they got nothing. In the end, they disappeared into the mansion inexplicably. .

She also learned from a retired old maid that the old Duke did not allow the birth of bastards, so one can imagine the fate of those maids who had relations with Master Lelia.

Everything is their own choice.

All the head maid can do is to persuade the new maids to prevent them from going to a dead end.

The most ruthless imperial family.

The same applies to the top nobles. They can't help themselves when they are in it.

Just like Miss Floresia, she doesn't want to marry that young master Iroh, but what can she do?
The sky-high reward offered by the old Duke made the old maids like them wonder if the eldest lady had committed some unforgivable crime.

Some maids also prayed for the eldest lady, hoping that she would not be captured, but in the end the eldest lady could not escape the hands of the Duke.

"Miss Floresia, you are a little pitiful." The head maid sighed softly.

She has no choice at all.

The moment she was born into the Morrow family, all choices were taken away from her.

"what did you say?"

The little maid didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." The head maid shook her head.

There are some things that you will naturally understand when you get older, so there is no need to say more.

At this time, a guard passed by on a flying dragon and shouted: "Attention, all maids and guards! Duke Kelly, his wife and heirs are here!"

·
Inside the residence of Duke Morrow.

The terrace on the sixth floor of the mansion.

Floresia picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip.

She heard everything going on outside.

An expression of pain flashed across her face. Even though the tea was the best scented tea, she seemed to be savoring some bitter taste.

It has been more than eight years.

She felt that if she continued like this, she would go crazy.

Why, does it have to be me?

A bird that has experienced five years of freedom is forced back into a cage. This in itself is the most desperate thing.

Floresia also tried to escape again.

But in these years, her brother and grandfather had been too strict with her, and she no longer had any chance to leave the city of prayer.

The most disgusting thing is that every once in a while, the eldest son of Duke Kelly's family will come here to annoy her.

She couldn't just refuse to see her, otherwise her grandfather and brother would come and complain about her. She didn't care about being criticized, but Mu Yu might be implicated by her, and now that she couldn't see Mu Yu, her grandfather would not allow her to take care of him.
crunch—

The door was pushed open gently.

Floresia did not look back.

At this time, there were only two people who could enter her room.

Lesirelia Moro, the only grandson of the old Duke Moro, the next heir to the position of Duke of the City of Remembrance, is also one of the candidates for the head of the Kingdom of Gold this time.

"Uncle Kelly and brother Iroh are coming, and we have to prepare to go out to pick them up."

Lesirelia came over, patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Sister, you have worked hard during this period. When my brother becomes the head of the country, no matter you want a divorce or something, you can, he will Stand firmly behind you."

Floresia turned around, but she just looked at him with a dull look.

Be firm.

If you are really determined, do you have to wait until then?

Why can't you stand behind me now?

Besides, brother, can you really become the leader of the country?

I heard that there are a lot of candidates for the head of state this time, thirteen in total. Those candidates must be forming cliques in their own way, preparing to fight on the day of the election. Is it big?
The horoscope has not been written yet.

Two of his relatives couldn't wait to sell her.

Have they never thought about what would happen if they failed? "Lecia, will you understand my brother?"

Lesirelia raised her hand, showed Floresia the number in her palm - 07, and said with a smile: "Whether our Moro family can take a step forward depends on me, brother. It’s up to you, sister, our names will be engraved on the front of the genealogy tablet in the family ancestral hall.”

Floresia still didn't speak.

Even if you succeed, it will only be your name that is engraved on it.

Am I worthy?
Years of traveling abroad have made her understand that many things in the world are not so beautiful.

She is no longer an ignorant and innocent girl.

Lesirelia continued minding her own business: "One more thing, at the engagement ceremony later, sister, please don't give Brother Iroh a hard time. I know you don't have a good impression of him. He is a playboy." , but your brother and I are actually a playboy, but after marrying your sister-in-law, brother and I have settled down. You must know that commoners are not qualified to inherit the blood of nobles like us, so Brother Iroh’s head wife will only It's you."

"I don't care about these things at all."

Floresia finally spoke up: "I don't care whether Iroh is a playboy or not. I just don't like him. The way he looks at me makes me want to vomit!"

"Hey, bear with it, sister, please bear with it."

Lesirelia said earnestly: "A small impatience will ruin a big plan. No matter how much you hate him, sister, you must endure this period of time. Other forces are more prepared than us. We must obtain Duke Kelly." Only in this way can we have a chance to win.”

"How do you want me to endure it?"

Floresia's words stopped abruptly.

She knew that her brother would not listen to her ideas.

Whether it was him or grandpa, they only thought about themselves, never her.

Lesirelia thought her sister had figured it out. He smiled and said: "Let the maid dress you up. Duke Kelly and Mrs. Kelly will meet you later. By the way, sister, remember to put on your high heels. Although she has a good face and figure, she is a little short in height and looks like a little girl from behind."

After Lesirelia left, Floresia stood up and looked down.

Her toes were covered by the towering white snow, and nothing could be seen.

High heels, haha.

If I don’t wear it myself, what can you do to me?

She also had to dress up sloppily and messily.

This was the only thing she could do to resist.

Boom! —

The door was knocked again.

Several old maids opened the door and walked in. Floresia wanted to ask them what they were doing, but as soon as they came in, she knelt down on the spot, banged her head on the ground, and said with a trembling voice:
"Miss Floresia, Master Lelia ordered us to dress you up. If he is not satisfied with your appearance after dressing up, he will execute us and our family members. Please give us a way to live." Bar!"

Frorecia: "."

A strange emotion gradually brewed in her heart.

No, this emotion has been brewing for a long time, but there was no chance to explode.

Afterwards, the old maids obtained permission and began to dress up Floresia.

An hour later, the makeup was finished.

An old maid was combing Floresia's hair from behind and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is really an out-and-out beauty."

In the mirror, her red hair shines brightly like a burning flame, her face is delicate and picturesque, her contours are elegant, her skin is smooth and firm, and her figure is plump and attractive. Even Nan Tong, who likes men, sees this. She would probably lose her mind for a second or two.

However, this was of no use to her.

Floresia shook her head and said, "This beauty doesn't mean much to me."

"That's not what it said."

At this time, everyone else had left, and only the old maid who was combing Floresia's hair was left. She said in a kind voice: "A woman likes her beauty. Maybe you, eldest lady, can find one in the future." What about the man you really want to show off your beauty to?”

Floresia said bitterly: "There is no future."

The old maid put down her comb and said, "Then, I can give you such an opportunity. Do you want it, Miss?"

Floresia suddenly turned her head and looked at the old maid with wrinkles on her face.

"Who are you?!"

The old maid didn't answer. She took out a dirty porcelain bottle from her arms with shaking hands and placed it in front of the dressing mirror.

"Here is the blood of the fourth-order early stage lord-level dragon seed source beast. As long as you are infected with it, no matter how much the old Duke and your brother want to marry you off, their ideas will be in vain."

"After all, who would marry a heterogeneous person? Even if her status is extremely noble."

Floresia clenched her fist and said, "Who are you?"

The old maid said: "It's just a passerby who really can't stand it and wants to do something."

Floresia's eyes narrowed: "Are you Gap? Did you sneak in to destroy the alliance between Prayer and Silver?"

The old maid smiled, lowered her voice and said: "To tell you the truth, I do want to destroy the alliance between Praying City and Silver City, but it is very simple to do this. Since I have sneaked here, I just need to suddenly kill him now. It’s okay to kill you, but when I see you, eldest lady, and what happened to you, I think of my granddaughter, so I can’t do anything.”

"This lord-level dragon blood is given to you. Miss, think carefully about whether you want to use it or not. If you use the dragon-derived factor, your lifespan will not be long in the future."

"I will go back to see my granddaughter first. I hope you, eldest lady, can find someone to whom you are truly willing to show your face."

After the old maid finished speaking, she turned away.

Her task has been completed.

Floresia did not chase after her. The old maid's words echoed in her mind, and she could not calm down for a long time.

"Sister, it's time to go."

Lesirelia opened the door and her eyes lit up when she saw Floresia.

Pretty!

If she was not his biological sister and it was against ethics, he would have wanted to marry Floresia.

Fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Ah."

Floresia nodded and stood up unsteadily. She was holding the small porcelain bottle in her wide dress sleeves. She drank the liquid in it, and now she felt like her whole body was burning.

"What's wrong with you sister?"

Lelia's sharp eyes saw something was wrong with Floresia's state.

A small porcelain bottle fell to the ground, making a crisp impact sound.

He picked it up and looked at it, and said angrily: "Alienation factor? Damn it! It's those maids. They have been cleaned up. How come there are still enemies sneaking in?! And Lecia, why are you so stupid?!"

Floresia's vision was blurry, but a smile appeared on her lips.

It was 3122st day of the 4th month of the year 21 of the Tire calendar.

On this day, Duke Kelly and Duke Morrow separated on bad terms.

The planned engagement date was cancelled.

This is the feeble resistance that a weak girl can make by herself. (End of chapter)
