our family is gone

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Sophia like this, Lance laughed as if he had gotten a very interesting toy.

For him, the feeling of conquest that comes from constantly playing with and even defeating smart-alecks is indeed refreshing.

Sophia had no reaction to Lance's unabashed ridicule, and she didn't even feel dissatisfied.

It's nothing more than this...

But Lance is still not satisfied. What are you pretending to be here?

"What's your attitude? It's not like I didn't give you a chance. I had already laid the groundwork for you when Greendale had doubts about you.

I don't care about your identity or your secret at all. As long as you abide by the rules here, Hamlet can accommodate one person.

But what about you? what have you done? You used Grendel's trust to interfere in the town's affairs, and now you come to harass me. If you don't succeed, you will act like this, as if someone did something to you.

Aren’t you doing all these things yourself? I feel aggrieved. Are you fucking embarrassed? "

"You don't understand at all! You don't even know how I'm alive!" When Sophia's disguise was torn through, she also showed off. She was humiliated by Lance and retorted directly, her face looking ferocious.

"You broke Hamlet's employment rules and I didn't say much about using the back door. I heard that you know how to drink, and I specially arranged an easy job for you.

But you still don't want to be honest. Why did you come to me? Don't tell me that you really came to me to taste wine. Look at what you're wearing and the perfume you're wearing. Do you believe this nonsense?

But even so, I didn't say anything. Did I keep urging you to go back and work hard when we met just now?

It's you who insists on being entangled. When I enter the door, I will tell you everything. You are still here to make things so embarrassing.

I didn't do anything in the chair, I just said a few words, you are fucking crazy here, as if the whole world owes you, you are the only one who is oppressed.

So what if you tell me yourself? Or what happened to you, Hamlet? Do you understand? Know a hammer! "

In Hamlet, no one can scold Lance, because he tells the truth and is inherently invincible.

It's okay for Sophia to fool Greendale, after all, people won't scold her like that, but Lance doesn't care about face, this thing is not given by others, but earned by himself.

Sophia was speechless because she really couldn't find any words to refute, and even her attitude changed.

He looked very embarrassed when he faced Lance's gaze, and he no longer had the arrogant look just now. He even felt a little restrained while sitting.

With the silence, the atmosphere became a little strange for a moment, and Lance seemed to calm down, retracting his naked eyes and throwing out a sentence instead.

"Now, tell me everything clearly."

This question broke the awkward scene. As if to escape reality, Sophia had an inexplicable strong desire to talk just to change the topic, and the words blurted out.

"Our empire has fallen..."

Sure enough, there were differences between her and Greendale's statements, and there were also many more details.

She is also called Princess, but she is not the daughter of the current emperor, but her sister.

When she was a child, she had a good relationship with her brother and lived a carefree life until the old emperor died suddenly, dragging the empire into darkness.

Under the empire's aristocratic inheritance system, it was normal for the eldest son to succeed to the throne.

After all, this is an extraordinary world, and the inheritance of the royal family involves a very key factor, which is extraordinary talent.

Her brother had no such gift, but Sophia had an extraordinary gift.

But for reasons of identity and emotion, she didn't want to fight for it, but took the initiative to give in.

Normally, as long as it is not too abstract, the situation will not change much, because the imperial system determines that the emperor is only a matter within their royal family and has nothing to do with local lords.

When she chose to give in, things naturally connected smoothly. Her brother inherited the throne, and she embarked on the path of [perfumer].

Logically speaking, the emperor has succeeded to the throne and all this is over.

But it happened that this emperor was also a person who liked to make troubles. Various operations made the situation in the empire become more chaotic, and the friction between the central and local governments became more and more serious, which turned into such a major rebellion.

This caused the foreshadowing laid before to appear.

"Since the rebellion started, my nightmare began..."

The rebels wanted to overthrow the emperor, but they also had to keep up with the aristocratic system.

Then someone of her own generation and with extraordinary talents would be a good candidate.

She was busy training as a perfumer and didn't pay much attention to these things, but it was a pity that she gave in in exchange for the emperor's suspicion.

She was sent to the church's monastery. Her status as a noble exempted her from the same labor as ordinary nuns, but it was also a kind of imprisonment.

Because the equipment and props used as a perfumer have also been lost, and even the power has been sealed, and communication with the outside world has been cut off.

Suspicion will never disappear just as it has arisen.

Until the situation continues to deteriorate, it is not only the rebels who want to make the emperor look good, but even the royalists.

"That guy has fallen into madness. I have no intention of competing with him for power, but he wants to kill me..."

Although Lance didn't show it on his face when he heard this, he suddenly reacted in his heart.

Wrong, I guessed wrong. The person who leaked the convoy's whereabouts was not Michel and his father at all, but the emperor!

The further deterioration of the situation made the emperor more suspicious, and Sophia could not keep him safe even in the monastery.

To the emperor, Sophia was a threat as long as she lived.

Then the only option is one... death.

That is, the so-called marriage is a complete lie. The emperor has no intention of keeping her alive, just to allow her to leave the monastery.

The person sent by the emperor to protect her actually planned to kill her, but everything had to be done decently, and blaming the rebels was the best option.

This kind of thing can be done for you. No wonder Michel is a close minister of the emperor.

but……

Then Lance felt something was wrong again. Didn't he say that he had lost an elite guard and a champion knight? This thing is not Chinese cabbage, right?
In this way, the emperor is quite willing to spend money. Lance can't do it anyway because of so many people. Lance was speculating in his mind to confirm his thoughts, but Sophia's next words changed his guess.

Sophia is no longer the sister she once was, and the long-term torture has made her resist.

Although she knew that she would probably be killed if she left the monastery, she still chose to agree because this was an opportunity to break free from the prison.

Her equipment was taken away and her abilities were restricted. Why?
Of course it's because the champion knight of the empire is not the emperor's man, but Sophia's guardian knight.

These nobles follow a set of ancient rules, and many of them have knights who swear allegiance.

Not to mention that Sofia is royalty and a perfumer, so she also has a knight.

The knight has been trained since she was a child, and she can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart. She also has extraordinary talents, strong strength, and has the status of a regular knight. This is her confidence.

After hearing this, Lance also understood why the emperor killed the champion knight. It turned out that they were in different camps.

When she walked out of the monastery, she had already begun to make plans. With the help of the knight, she recovered a little strength and controlled a maid accompanying the team to change into her own clothes, while she became the driving maid.

An unexpected attack occurred. The guards did not know about the palace struggle. They just tried their best to protect and stayed to stop the enemy.

As for the champion knight who broke out with a killing spree, Sophia drove a carriage and took the "princess" to escape in the chaos.

Naturally, the pursuers would not let go of their target easily, but a slight obstruction was enough to keep them away. Sophia took the opportunity to come down halfway, and she quickly changed into a nun's outfit that had been prepared in the monastery.

At this time, the champion knight ran wildly with the carriage, taking away all traces.

The two of them had already agreed to meet in Bastia, a nearby large city. After escaping, Sophia returned to the road, but now her identity became a nun.

Until they met a caravan heading to Bastia.

But the difference from what she said was that it was not the caravan that caught her, but she took a ride through her identity as a nun.

In the empire, even robbers and bandits would not take action against church members, let alone caravans, although they could also act as bandits when necessary.

There is a reason for religious belief here. Even people who have done many evil things long for salvation by the Holy Light.

But it's more of a fear, unless they want to be burned at the stake or go to hell.

Sophia behaved exactly like those nuns, because she had really lived and been exposed to the monastery.

Following the caravan into Bastia did not make her feel safe. In order to restore her strength, she needed a lot of resources, which involved extraordinary materials.

But she was also afraid of leaving traces and being discovered, so she chose a very special place, which was a club in Bastia, which was actually a high-end brothel.

Because prostitutes use perfume to cover their odor or dress themselves up, some high-end brothels even make their own perfume, so they can have access to relevant materials without looking out of place.

And there are a lot of women there, and their low-quality perfume will cover up their traces.

At the same time, those who can open high-end brothels generally have a background and will not be disturbed.

Finally, let’s talk about why she chose this place to meet.

Because the mountains produce a lot of precious materials, and these things are gathered in Bastia and can be easily obtained.

If she wanted to recover quickly, she had to collect enough materials and prepare her scent again.

I have to say that she was very considerate and had clear ideas. To the greatest extent, this was indeed her best choice, and soon she transformed into a socialite.

Although the equipment has been taken away, as Lance said, she is the perfume itself, which can be understood as being soaked in the smell.

For a perfumer, controlling ordinary people is not a difficult task. At that time, the extra drama was just to win the sympathy of Greendale.

Anyway, it is too easy for her to control a few people. Even if there is difficult material, she only needs to find a man and raise his hand.

The ability of the perfumer can make them hallucinate, and she only needs to laugh at their ugly scene, and finally obediently deliver the things to her hands.

What's more important is that her ability is silent control. She doesn't even notice that she is strange. This is the most terrifying thing.

That was what Greendale was told about being sent to a brothel, but she was the hidden owner of the brothel at that time.

Logically speaking, she can quickly regain her strength by parasitizing in the club, and as long as nothing happens, nothing will happen.

But an accident happened, and she didn't know what happened at the time. Anyway, the count cut off the barbarians' trading channels, so it was difficult to get those materials again.

This environment made her feel strongly uneasy. She didn't know what was going on, so she was forced to come out.

The information that ordinary wealthy businessmen have access to is limited. In order to get in touch with a higher level, she attended a high-level banquet as a dance partner of a wealthy businessman.

But on the way there, she was robbed by members of the eagle group who appeared without warning. At that time, she even thought she had been discovered. After all, she knew the reputation of the eagle group after only being here for a few days.

He often does things like sneaking around and raping women. He is the count's henchman and the guy who those people fear the most.

But soon Sophia also discovered that the target of the eagles should be the wealthy businessman, and she was also implicated.

Lance didn't find this strange at all. After all, Laura had told Lance before that the targets of the Eagles were undoubtedly those who were disobedient, and it was the Count's method of beating them.

Sophia was eating hot pot and singing songs this time, but she was suddenly robbed by a group of eagles.

She huddled in the corner of the carriage and showed the reaction that an ordinary person should have. She originally thought that would be the end of it, but her appearance undoubtedly attracted their attention.

She is an extraordinary person, but she does not have the ability to fight in close combat. Those members of the eagle group are not ordinary people. If they really want to use their abilities on the street, they will probably alarm more people.

She didn't dare to reveal her abilities, so she was kidnapped directly to the Eagle's Nest, which is what Laura saw at that time.

The danger of that kind of place is simply unspeakable. Sophia also panicked when faced with that kind of scene. The terrifying pressure brought by the leader of the eagles almost made her burst.

But Laura's appearance saved her, and there was no doubt that she seized the slim chance to fake her death and escape.

This is what happened next.

"You have laid the foundation in Bastia, and it was also the place you agreed with the knight. Why did you go with Laura at that time?"

After hearing this, Lance finally couldn't help it anymore and asked a question directly.

Sophia raised her head and met Lance's eyes, her expression seemed complicated...
