Chapter 48

Since Sirona publicly admitted the crime and the evidence was solid, Sirona's corruption made the soldiers in the army extremely angry.

Even the generals of all the Sirona family lost the support and trust of the soldiers.

Along with Sirona's death, all his family members were also liquidated. Although they were not killed, they were all ordered to be exiled to the northern border to do hard labor.

Catherine personally took over the power of the army and compensated the whole army with the gold coins 'captured' from Sirona's house.

There is a big stick over there, and candied dates here. Catherine not only regained the power of the army, but also captured the hearts of soldiers and civilians.

From the beginning to the end, Catherine only paid more than 100 million gold coins, and the money would be used by the soldiers anyway.

……

On the top floor of the castle, Catherine is sitting in a rocking chair, drinking wine while looking to the north.

Power gave her a sense of security, and she liked the feeling of holding on to it.

Because she once deeply experienced the powerlessness of living at the bottom.

150 two years ago...

Catherine was seven years old at the time, and her own sister, Merlin, was eight.

Their father was a math teacher in a small town, and their mother set up a breakfast stall.

At that time, their mother often taught them how to make various cakes and breads, and their father told them bedtime stories every night. Although life was poor, the family lived happily.

Those were the happiest times Catherine could remember.

"Mom, I want to go out and play." Catherine was more playful.

"It's too late today, go elsewhere." Mom disagreed.

However, she still sneaked out, and in the alley of the street, she was kidnapped by an adult.

The man was fat and bald, Catherine had seen him, and he often followed the mayor.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, if you want this silver coin, you can play with uncle."

Catherine was very scared, she screamed in fright, but he covered her mouth again immediately, and the other hand was not idle, tearing Catherine's skirt frantically.

It was dark, and few people passed by.

My sister, Merlin, found that her sister was missing, so she went around looking for her.

"Katherine, Katherine!" Merlin yelled.

However, Catherine couldn't respond. She was terrified, and tears fell out one by one.

At that time, neither she nor her sister had undergone a mental test, and they hadn't discovered the talents of wizards and magicians. How could they break free from an adult.

Finally, Merlin found Catherine. She saw the man bullying her sister, and shouted to the other side of the street:

"Mom! Mom! Come here!"

Seeing that he was discovered, the man had to give up angrily. His mother rushed to the scene and saw Catherine crying on the ground in disheveled clothes, and the deputy mayor who was about to leave in a hurry.

The mother was very angry. She picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the deputy mayor, but the deputy mayor found out. After he avoided it, he kicked his mother hard in the stomach.

"madman!"

Catherine's mother was kicked heavily to the ground, her head hit a rock on the ground, bleeding profusely, and she fell into a coma immediately.

Merlin was so frightened that he hurried to support his mother, but she didn't answer.

There were more and more people watching, and someone ran to tell their father, and he rushed over immediately.

The father asked the neighbors to help take care of Merlin and Catherine, and he immediately carried his mother to the hospital.

Because their mother had hit her temple, she died before reaching the hospital.

From that day on, the Catherines could not be happier.

In order to avenge his father, he went to the deputy mayor with a knife, but was beaten up by the guards. Later, under the order of the deputy mayor, his father was also expelled from the school.

As civilians, they have nothing to report, and the deputy mayor is still safe and sound.

Catherine and Merlin looked at their father who was drinking every day, and the family was in a sad atmosphere.

One afternoon, his father sent Catherine and Merlin to his uncle's house, and he hanged himself after returning home.

So far, Merlin and Catherine have become orphans.

Later, the magic academy and wizard academy in the city came to the town to recruit students. Fortunately, Merlin and Catherine both tested their talents and went to study far away.

After returning from school, Catherine and Merlin killed the deputy mayor with their own hands. Catherine also wanted to kill the deputy mayor's family, but Merlin stopped her.

The two sisters have very different personalities and love to quarrel when they are together.

In addition, Merlin felt that if Catherine had listened to her mother and hadn't run out to play that day, then her parents would not have died.

So she blamed Catherine in her heart, and the two had little contact as adults.

Later, Catherine was promoted to a nine-star wizard and became the queen of the Norman Empire.

After Mei Lin was promoted to a nine-star magician, he practiced alone in Black Pine Mountain. The two were not far apart, but they never communicated.

When Catherine established the Norman Empire, she wanted to attack the Duke of Eton and the Duke of Cabel together, but because she didn't want to see her sister in Black Pine Mountain, she never fought there.

Catherine looked into the distance with sad eyes. She also thought that if she had been more obedient that night and hadn't gone out to play, her parents would not have died...

She hated the deputy mayor, because he was a petty official, rich and powerful, and could destroy their family.

She had had countless nightmares because of this past event.

So she became desperate to be strong and have power, only with these can she sleep peacefully at night.

……

Izzo asked Pinocchio to return as quickly as possible, and in less than a month, they returned to the capital of the Mesor Empire.

They immediately took Raymond to the most famous pharmacist in the area.

Raymond was not sick, but his eyes were burned by the dragon, so it was useless to seek a doctor. Only those pharmacists who could invent all kinds of strange medicines could hope to make Raymond see the light again.

"Burned by the flames of the red dragon?" asked the grizzled pharmacist.

"Yes, can it still be cured?" Ize asked with concern.

"Fortunately, he is a knight, and his body organs are much stronger than ordinary people. There is still hope for a cure, but the medicinal materials needed are relatively expensive." The pharmacist said to Ize.

Raymond asked quickly, "How much does it cost?"

"At least 280 gold coins." The pharmacist said.

This is a huge sum of money, a sum that a commoner's family would never dare to think about in a lifetime.

Yize was also a little embarrassed, not because it was expensive, but because he only brought 500 gold coins when he came out, and he had already spent a lot on the way, so there should be only more than 100 gold coins at this time.

Raymond said: "Your Highness, we don't have much money left, you still have to go to the desert, why don't you wait for us to return to the Principality of Cabel before you treat him."

"If you delay it for a long time, it will only be bad for your condition." The pharmacist reminded.

"Then trouble you to start preparing for treatment now." Ize said, he turned his head and asked Charlie:

"Charlie, how many gold coins do we have left?"

"Your Highness, we still have 125 gold coins left." Charlie said truthfully.

Izzy frowned, he didn't expect to be so far behind.

Pinocchio did not hesitate, he took out 5 gold coins from his pocket, and said:
"Prince Ize, Mr. Raymond, this is all the money I have on me. I left all the fare you gave me at home and didn't bring it out."

"Your Highness, this is all my private money." Charlie also took out 2 gold coins from the inner lining of his clothes.

 Ize: Ask for gold coins online (recommendation ticket)!
