Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 16 The Lord Who Lives on Charity
"My little Anne, can I ask you something."

After the dinner party, Stannis said to Annister coyly.

"Brother Stan, do we still need to treat each other!" This noble lady was inexperienced at first glance, so she didn't immediately notice his malicious intentions.

But looking at his blushing face and greedy eyes, Annie put her hands on her chest in a petty way, and said shyly, "Brother, didn't we agree to keep that first time on the wedding night?"

What a mess!

"What do you think of me! I want you to introduce me to your father, my father-in-law." Stannis said without changing his expression.

Anist blinked her beautiful violet eyes, not knowing why, "Aren't you the most afraid of seeing my daddy? Every time he calls you, you slip away like a ghost."

However, she blushed slightly, she didn't expect him to regard herself as his fiancee again so quickly.

"Is there something important to discuss!"

Annie closed one eye and puffed out her mouth to look at him suspiciously, she obviously didn't believe it.

"Then what do you want to do with Daddy?"

Stannis snapped, "This is a matter between men and men, how can we let girls get involved."

In his impression, this domineering style should be the most popular among soft and cute girls.

"Then I refuse." Annie refused him straight away.

Stannis almost vomited blood, and still suffered from being too young, so he hurriedly wagged his tail and begged for mercy, "Okay, my sister Anne, just take me to see your father, or I will drink the northwest wind tomorrow!"

"It turned out to be borrowing money." Annister was not as naive as she looked, she looked at her toes, and said in a hesitant tone, "But not recently, Daddy has been furious about foreign debts these days, and you still owe him five hundred Therefore, I advise you not to mention borrowing money in front of him."

"500, he alone owes so much! What will I do in the future!" Stannis was shocked, as if he could see the interest generated by his debts piling up like snowflakes.

Why don't you disguise yourself and run away? It's better to be a beggar than to be hacked to death by creditors.

Looking at her fiancé, who was already turning blue in front of her, Annie sighed, "Why don't I lend you some relief for a while."

"Benefactor!" Stannis almost didn't kneel down.

Anist smiled and shook her head, "Don't say that, brother, we will be a family after we get married, how can a wife sit idly by and ignore her husband's debts."

What a perfect wife and mother, Stannis began to wonder why this kid went crazy and didn't see this beautiful and intelligent lady in front of him for a whole year.

"Lina," Annie turned her head and ordered, "bring me the ivory box inlaid with emeralds in my dresser by the window."

"Yes." The maid nodded and stepped back.

But Stannis on the side stretched out his ears a long time ago. It seems that his fiancée has more than one jewelry box, and she is indeed a rich person. In the future, there is a big tree like Anne, so I really can't think about it.

"By the way, did that 'Knight Laurel' Beorlandi say anything to you before he left?" Stannis asked pretending not to care, crossing his arms.

Annie stuck her tongue out at him, "It's nothing, he just invited me to be a guest in the imperial capital next time."

He pursed his lips and obviously didn't believe it, because if he was a woman, he would have thrown him on the bed long ago when he met such a perfect knight.

"What's the matter, are you jealous, brother Stan?" Annie tapped his lips slyly.

Stannis backed away, blushing, "Nah... nagging."

At this time, Lina came back holding a heavy box.

Stannis couldn't wait to take the box, touched the exquisite pattern on it and couldn't help but admire, "It's really a handicraft, this box alone is worth a lot of money."

Annie stuck her tongue out at him, "It's worthless, it's just an ivory box with some precious stones inlaid on the outside."

Stannis clicked his tongue uncontrollably, and then he opened the lid, and the jewels filled the entire inside of the box.

He was so shaken that he couldn't keep his eyes open. He closed his eyes for a while and opened them again. His eyes were still full of jewels.

Although he wished to swallow these jewels and take them away, Stannis' reason still told him not to lose his reserve in front of his fiancée. He held the box in his hands as if he was afraid of getting his hands dirty. With a coy tone, "Isn't that good, accept your gift at will, won't my father-in-law blame you if he finds out?"

"These are worthless gadgets. Even Lina would lose her status if she brought them, so without them, Daddy wouldn't find out." Annie patted him on the shoulder affectionately, signaling him to spend them at ease.

Stannis immediately tore off the camouflage of warmth and stuffed the jewelry box into his waistband, no longer caring about his image.

"Annie, my dearest, I will definitely repay you twice as much money in the future, just wait for me." Even at this point, Stannis insisted on putting on a tough face.

Anist quickly pursed her lips and waved her hands. She stared at Stannis with her pure and flawless eyes, and said cautiously: "As long as you forgive me, I will give everything for you."

A few hours later, even though it was early morning, Stannis was still riding a horse and strolling through the countryside with great interest.

In the distance, the black shadow of his ugly castle looms in the sky.

If it was normal, he would definitely yell at this deformed building, but today even this ugly monster couldn't help kissing him twice.

"White Beard~~"

This was his new nickname for Maester Romond.

Although the castle was far away, his elongated and triumphant voice sounded from the emptiness, as if returning in triumph.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, Your Excellency." The old man ran out of the castle in a panic. Before his master called him this way, it meant that the lord wanted money.

Satisfied, Stannis threw the entire chest full of jewels to him, "Let these fill my coffers."

Bachelor Romon opened the box, but was blinded by the blond hair inside, "Your Excellency, where did you get so much money?"

"Don't ask, take these things to deal with those damn creditors."

"My lord, do you mean to use these jewels to pay back the money?"

Stannis snapped his fingers, "You're in charge."

And he thought in his heart, so many jewels must be more than enough to repay the debt, how could there be some left over to make him cool, and as for promising Anne to pay her back, Stannis almost laughed when he thought of the word "repay".

After paying off the debts to the surrounding lords, the three families in the west who used to have a red-faced diplomatic relationship with him suddenly turned green-faced.

only……

A day later, Stannis sat on the ground with the empty jewelry box in his arms and cried loudly.

"Old man! I asked you to pay back the money, don't be so serious, why take it all to pay back the money, it's gone, not a penny~~ Wow!"
