Except Knock and Charlotte,
No one knows what the two of them said.
The fish people only knew that their new king had held the human prisoner under the water and beaten him with a stick.
He beat her until she cried.
Later, he felt that it was not enough, so Wang caught the prisoner on the plank road again.
A good beating.
The woman's voice begging for mercy echoed in the village all night.
It scared a lot of little fishmen to tears.
Until dawn the next day,
The secret sentry on duty discovered that,
The tortured human prisoners were reduced to human form, their hands tied with ropes, and hung in a water prison.
Unconscious. (Too sleepy, fell asleep.)
Nok was lying in Heipi's house, sleeping soundly.
He came just before dawn,
It directly woke up Heipi and his son.
Heipi simply got up and took the people to continue building the raft.
Yes, Heipi is in charge of building the raft,
Blueskin is responsible for following Nok and learning his method of training fishmen to swim and charge.
By the way, manage the tribe and monitor the humans outside.
Generally speaking, today’s fishman tribe,
Made like an iron barrel by Nok.
Just like last night's Luke and Charlotte invasion,
In fact, they were discovered just after climbing over the wall.
Because the houses in the Fishman Village are all on the water.
When two people hit the ground, they fell into the water.
Although the water was only shallow, it didn't even cover the feet.
However, this is enough for the fishman hidden stakes hidden in the water.
Every little ripple can be felt by them.
Therefore, Nok really doesn't worry about the guys outside making trouble.
Unless Sister Sophia helps them, they won't even know how to poison!
Nok was sleeping peacefully in the fishman village.
Little did he know that there were people outside who stayed awake all night and stayed up until dawn.
Victor and Freya were walking around in their respective houses with dark faces.
Feng Deke was happy when he saw Lucian returning last night.
But when he learned that Lucian was blocked from the door and no news was heard,
The face is smelly.
For this reason, he even complained about Lucian, saying that he was useless.
But when he found Victor, who used to like to sleep until midnight, walking up and down the river beach with dark circles under his eyes.
When Freya also stood at the door of the house and kept looking at the entrance of the fishman village,
He suddenly felt that even if Lucian didn't find out the news,
It's good to come back safely.
At least it didn't cause him any trouble, right?
As for why he knew something was wrong,
That's because the worry on the faces of Victor and Freya could not be hidden from Feng Deke, who had a full Observation Skill.
"Good morning, Lord Baron. What's wrong with you? It looks like you didn't sleep well last night.
By the way, where is Butler Luke? Why is your master already up?
He hasn't gotten up yet.
This is a bit remiss. "
Feng Deke was a little proud and couldn't help but sneered at Victor.
Who put everyone in trouble? Victor was still looking for trouble along the way.
Cause trouble for everyone.
Feng Deke somewhat disliked him.
It's just that we need to be united at that time,
Plus he is a businessman and he just doesn’t want to offend Victor.
But now Victor is in trouble, and their lives are settled.
As long as you wait for rescue, you'll basically be fine.
Anyway, he is from the Ventuius Chamber of Commerce and will not stay in the royal capital for long.
He is not afraid of offending the Victor family.
As for Freya, Feng Deke has no interest in causing trouble for a woman.
What's more, this woman was very gloomy along the way.
At first glance, she looks like a scheming woman.
Feng Deke didn't want to cause such trouble.
Beautiful women are dangerous,
A beautiful woman with scheming intentions is the danger among dangers.
Feng Deke, who travels all over the world, never dares to underestimate such creatures as women.
Victor, who was ridiculed by Fon Decker, glared at Fon Deke.
"Fon Deke, what do you mean? Freya's housekeeper Charlotte is not here either.
Why don't you talk about her, but you talk about my Luke?
Do you think Mrs. Freya’s family doesn’t have a tutor? "
Victor is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp;
Directly drawing the fire to Freya.
What's wrong? Freya just glanced at the two of them coldly.
He immediately said: "If you want to make a quarrel, make your own quarrel, don't bring it to me.
Everyone knows what happened last night.
Don’t think that just because your people are back, you can rest easy.
If the Fishman Village is held accountable,
You can't run away either.
So, what we have to consider now is what excuse to use to explain what happened last night.
Not to cause trouble for ourselves.
Otherwise, being kicked out of the river beach would be a trivial matter. "
Freya's words awakened the other two people.
The two of them suddenly became nervous.
Yes, I was caught breaking into a fishman village at night.
They will definitely be held accountable.
This is the territory of the fishmen,
If people get angry, drive them away.
Where can they find a place like this where they can sleep and live in peace.
Although rescue should not be far away,
But if rescue fails to arrive, they will be kicked out.
Then there was an accident at night!
At this time, the two realized the seriousness of the problem.
"So what do we do now?"
Victor and Victor were a little confused for a while, so they could only ask Freya for help.
Freya analyzed calmly:
"First of all, we must unite and speak with one voice. We didn't know what happened last night.
It's all done by the people themselves. "
Freya's words made Feng Deke and Feng Deke look embarrassed.
This is asking them to betray their men to protect themselves.
Feng Deke was in trouble because Lucian was still catching up on his sleep in the house.
Moreover, he was still the one who relied on his own safety, so he betrayed him like this.
Is it really good?
And he wasn't caught, there was no evidence.
Instead, he betrayed him, which was somewhat immoral.
If this was reported back to the Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?
As a businessman, once his reputation becomes bad, his future is basically ruined.
Victor is in trouble because Luke has been his support all these years.
Not only his hidden strength, but also his command.
Luke is his right-hand man, and Luke takes care of all his properties.
Not to mention that all the things he did behind his back were also handled by Luke.
What's the difference between betraying Luke and betraying himself!
The two wanted to understand this and immediately exchanged glances.
After confirming what the other party meant, he refused at the same time:
"No, we can't do this. The people below are working for us.
How can we sell people. We don't agree with this. "
Looking at the two people who were attacking and taunting each other just now,
They unanimously opposed their own suggestions,
Freya sneered in her heart, but said with a nonchalant expression:
“Even if you don’t agree, you can suppress it first and wait and see what happens.
But there is one thing that must be done immediately.
There are thirteen of us in total. Let the three of us go out now.
There are only seven left, and Leo Gareth wears the same pants as Nock Lane.
Sister Sophia is having trouble with Leo Gareth again.
So the four of them must be on the same page.
Then we can only fight for the other three.
Princess Hathaway of the Black Bull Kingdom, her bodyguard Treville, and the mysterious Marquis Julien.
Our interests are the same,
As someone from the kingdom’s aristocratic circle,
We all hope to return safely to the Kingdom and continue to live our lives as human beings.
Therefore, win them to our side,
It is very necessary to integrate our interests.
Only in this way will Nok Lane be afraid of the forces behind us.
Don't dare to mess with us.
Otherwise, with his current strength, he can mobilize a group of fishmen.
Kill us all and leave us to monsters or dark creatures,
Who can do anything to him?
After all, it is the three of us who are directly offending him now.
He could just attack us and let the others go.
As long as he doesn't move the princess, the royal family won't care about him.
He would not touch the Marquise, and the Champagne Leader would not embarrass him.
With these two high-ranking men as witnesses for him,
Then our death will be in vain,
Understand? "
At this moment, Freya deliberately magnified the selfishness of people's hearts,
The scaremongering stirred up the nerves of both Victors.
Victor and Feng Deke looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"So, how do you want to win them over?"
Freya smiled and said: "Princess Hathaway is inexperienced, let me convince her.
Marquis Julien must not be a simple person if he can control a territory.
Mr. Feng Deke knows how to observe people's emotions, and as a businessman, it is easier to communicate with her.
As for Mr. Treville, Mr. Victor should be able to persuade him to help.
Compared with the Victor family's asylum, not everyone can refuse it. "
Freya directly divides the labor and cooperates,
The other two people were secretly surprised.
Sure enough, this woman should not be underestimated.
Her arrangements actually took advantage of the target's weaknesses.
Come to think of it, she has been secretly investigating the personalities of everyone in the team these days.
Thinking of this, both men classified Freya as the first person to be wary of.
Freya was naturally aware of the changes in the eyes of the two men.
But she doesn't care.
She knew that if something happened to Charlotte,
So with her hatred for falling out with Nook Lane and driving him away,
The other party will definitely perform step by step and embarrass themselves.
It was even possible to take the opportunity to kill her.
She wants to take the initiative and bring people together.
But before that, the second thoughts in other people’s hearts must be eliminated.
That's why she said so many alarmist things to Victor and Feng Deke.
Based on her understanding of Nok Lane along the way, these speculations may not be impossible.
That Nook Lane is ruthless and decisive!
The three reached an agreement and decided to use the disappearance of Luke and Charlotte as an excuse to
Convince others to help search,
Pre-emptive strike.
As for adding some private work to the persuasion process,
Win over those who deserve to be won over,
That depends on their personal abilities.
Victor was the most direct and knocked on Treville's door regardless.
Soon Treville, who was fully dressed, opened the door and welcomed Victor in.
"Your Excellency Baron, I wonder what you want from me?"
Treville asked calmly, pretending to be confused.
But in his heart he understands better than anyone else,
As one of the top players in the team,
He had already heard a rough idea of the conversation between the three people outside the door.
When they were asked to repair the house, they all tacitly chose the direction away from the Fishman Village.
On the contrary, it was the house of sisters Leo and Sophia, far away from them, near the fishman village.
He signaled to Freya that the three of them dared to "conspire" blatantly at the door.
It may not mean that others can "eavesdrop".
Victor changed his panic outside the door, looked at Treville calmly, and said:
"Treville, I won't talk nonsense to you. My butler Luke is missing.
I'm short of manpower right now and I want you to come and help me.
Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. "
Treville didn't expect Victor to be so straightforward and didn't know how to deal with him for a while.
He thought silently for a moment and said:
"Your Excellency, I don't understand what you are saying.
Butler Luke is missing, let's find him quickly.
What if he was caught by the fishmen and eaten as food?
That would be tragic.
You also know that those fish are not afraid of being cold,
They used to eat raw meat and often attacked humans.
Although he is now seemingly subdued by Father Ryan,
But it is inevitable that they will hide it from him and do some sneaky things. "
Victor felt that there was something in Treville's words, a bit of insinuation.
He felt offended and unhappy.
But now he had someone to ask for, and his government asked him to suppress this unhappiness.
Victor directly showed off his cards to Treville:
"Treville, don't beat around the bush with me. You should know your situation very well.
You had a falling out with Nook Lane on the ship, and there was nothing but hatred between you.
Although everyone is in trouble now, for the sake of the overall situation, he did not make things difficult for you.
But do you think he will really let you go?
Look now, we are safe, except for hunting every day,
Apart from getting some food, it's almost like a vacation.
You are basically useless.
And last night, Luke went to explore the fishman village at night and didn't come back. It was obviously a mistake.
Nock Lane already has an excuse to attack. What do you think he will do?
The kingdom's rescue should arrive soon,
Even if he kills us all, he still has a chance to be rescued.
Besides, there was absolutely no need for him to kill everyone.
Just kill those of us who don't deal well with him,
The remaining people will definitely choose silence in order to survive.
We can only get out of here alive if we join forces and make him take advantage of him. "
Treville didn’t think Victor’s words were trying to scare him.
It's possible that Nock Lane could do that.
However, this does not make him fall in love with Victor.
"Sorry, Your Excellency Baron, I was sent by His Majesty the King to protect His Royal Highness the Princess.
I think, for the sake of Her Royal Highness, Father Ryan will not make things difficult for me. "
Treville refused. He was the king's man and did not want to join other nobles.
Work as a lackey for the nobles.
If you work as a lackey for a noble, you will remain a lackey for the rest of your life.
Working as a lackey for the king, maybe one day the king will be happy and he will become a noble.
He still knows how to choose.
However, Victor's next words directly broke his confidence.
“Treville, don’t kid yourself.
How you treated Princess Hathaway along the way is unknown to others.
Don’t you know yet?
Not to mention that Nock Lane's needle is not aimed at you,
Even if you return to the capital alive, are you sure you will be safe?
Hathaway is the default queen and will be the mother of a country from now on.
With how you made things difficult for her on the road and even tried to kill her,
Do you think she will attack you after becoming queen?
Do you think His Majesty the King is helping her or you?
However, if you take refuge in me and the Victor family.
Then you are ours. With the prestige of our Victor family in the royal city,
Even His Majesty the King would not dare to accuse you easily.
After all, for a queen with no foundation to go against the family of important ministers of the country,
Even our young King knows how to choose.
If you work harder for us,
We can help you get promoted and gain titles.
You know, we don't treat our allies badly.
Does Viscount Seltis know?
He was promoted by our family. "
Treville was moved when he heard this.
"Can you really compete with His Majesty the King for me?"
Victor proudly stroked his collar and said with a smile:
“Mr. Treville, don’t doubt the credibility of our Victor family.
We still attach great importance to talents.
The aristocratic circle is about worldliness, not about fighting and killing.
Profit is our ultimate goal.
The interests are aligned, this is how the aristocratic circle plays.
As long as our interests are aligned, how can we give up on you? "
Treville was confused by Victor's aristocratic speech,
I have begun to fantasize about the beauty of the future.
Completely ignoring the trap in Victor's words.
Those with consistent interests are allies; those with inconsistent interests are naturally enemies.
However, Treville himself is an ordinary person from a small town.
Relying on military merit, he gradually walked up to the king and became a guard.
How can I understand what the nobles are saying?
As a result, Treville was directly captured by Victor and became Victor's man.
On the other side, while Victor was making achievements.
Freya also found Princess Hathaway.
"Good morning, Your Highness Princess."
"Excuse me, Mrs. Taitmora, I wonder why you came to me so early?"
Hathaway looked at the other party with a puzzled face. She really didn't know what happened.
At this time on weekdays, everyone is sleeping.
Why did this woman who had always had no sense of existence suddenly come to her today?
"Haha, your highness the princess, just call me Freya. What kind of lady is not a lady? You don't see too many people.
After all, when we return to the capital in the future, we will have to walk around more.
Her Royal Highness the Princess came all the way to France to become our queen.
I think I will inevitably feel lonely in the future.
Get to know more friends and have more fun, right?
Freya is not talented, but she is quite popular in the aristocratic circle of the royal capital.
When the time comes, I must introduce some trustworthy noble friends to Her Royal Highness the Princess.
It would also help the princess gain a firm foothold in the royal capital.
You know, there are many families who spy on the queen's position.
Many ladies are determined to get this position.
But in the end, she was snatched away by the airborne princess.
What do you think those noble ladies will think? "
As soon as Freya came down, she started to sell the other party well.
It’s good to sell everything, but don’t forget to point out the subtleties of the other party’s situation.
At this time, Hathaway, who had nothing to do with it, suddenly turned ugly.
She is not stupid, and she has seen a lot of fights in the palace.
I know very well how unscrupulous a woman can be to get a position.
Although she was cared for and grew up,
But that doesn't mean she hasn't seen danger.
The assassinations against her have never stopped.
It's just that those women who failed were eradicated by her mother and father.
Of course, this is because the enemy's assassinations mainly focused on her younger brother.
Otherwise, she may not live to the age of marriage.
Who is not living with a mask?
Wasn't Nok deceived by her innocent appearance and became her tool against Treville?
It's just that her original intention was to make things difficult for Treville so that she could subdue him.
But she didn't want Nok to use too much force, which directly made her the object of Treville's hatred.
She had given up on Treville in her heart.
She would not let someone who hated her be around.
What's more, this person had murderous intentions towards her.
But now that people are under the roof, she can only continue to act stupid.
Once she returns to the royal capital, she will definitely ask His Majesty Louis to kill Treville, a potential scourge.
But she didn't expect that the thing she had been thinking about was not the biggest threat to her.
Something more dangerous is waiting for her in the capital!
She understood that her marriage was necessary.
The Black Bull Kingdom’s maritime supremacy was challenged by the Lion Heart Kingdom.
However, the Kingdom of Lionheart has always been related to the Kingdom of France by marriage.
If there is a war between the Black Ox Kingdom and the Lion Heart Kingdom,
The Kingdom of France will definitely get involved.
Who are you helping? Why bother asking?
But if she becomes the Queen of France,
The Kingdom of France can't send troops to help others attack the hometown of its queen!
In the future, when her brother grows up, she might even help him unite the Kingdom of France.
Devour the Red Bull Country sandwiched between the two countries.
And then encroaching on the Kingdom of France to the east, the maritime hegemon may not be able to become the continental hegemon.
The glory of the Holy Papal State has come to an end!
This was the real purpose of Hathaway's marriage, and it was also the plan of their Black Ox King's royal family.
Therefore, her position as queen cannot be lost!
So, she held Freya's hand with a smile and said with a smile:
“Oh, Sister Freya is really considerate.
Sister, I’m new here, and I really don’t know a few people in the capital.
It was because I was bored in the palace all day that I begged your majesty to let me travel.
After the trip, I just went back to get married.
Unexpectedly, something like that happened, leaving us here.
But thanks to this, I had the opportunity to meet people like my sister.
I'm quite curious about the circles in the royal capital. I wonder if my sister is free.
Could you please explain it to me in detail? "
I heard Hathaway calling her "sister" as she climbed up the pole.
Freya knew that she was half successful.
She said with some embarrassment:
"Your Highness Princess, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm here to see you today, not just for a chat.
But I want to ask you for help. But don’t worry, the days ahead are long.
I will definitely give you a good introduction to the customs, customs and habits of the royal capital. "
When Hathaway heard that Freya was looking for her to do something, she suddenly lost some enthusiasm.
“Oh, it’s strange that my sister actually came to me for help.
My sister, I can't lift it with my hands or carry it on my shoulders. I almost got bitten by a snake when I picked up firewood.
How can I help my sister? "
Hathaway's words already sounded a bit like rejection.
But who is Freya? A woman who has gone through thousands of men without changing her face.
Why would you give up because of this little hint from Hathaway?
She immediately said:
"Your Highness the Princess doesn't know something, my housekeeper Charlotte is missing.
She was fine last night, but no one was there in the morning. I searched all over the campground but couldn't find her.
Later, I met Baron Victor and learned from him that his butler Luke was also missing.
I was worried that something might happen, so I came here specifically to ask Her Royal Highness to come forward.
Let Father Ryan direct the fishmen to help them search. "
Freya directly stated her purpose of coming, but at the same time she looked hesitant.
Hathaway said something out of nowhere that made Hathaway jump.
"By the way, when I came, I saw Baron Victor entering Treville's room.
He looked like he wanted to recruit him.
You know, the Victor family is a big family in the royal capital.
My ancestors once produced a duke, but he ended up in the wrong team.
He was deprived of his territory and dukedom by the late king and was demoted to a hereditary marquis.
But the son of the Marquis Victor fought hard and now has a third title.
The old marquis is on the throne, and the eldest young master will have a hereditary title in the future.
It is said that the second young master served in the army, commanded a large army, and was made a viscount.
The third young master, Jim Victor, is even more powerful. He does business on his own.
can be made a baron by His Majesty the King.
If Treville joins the Victor family,
Then the status of Her Royal Highness the Princess is worrying. "
Hathaway is a smart person, and he can't detect Freya's hidden meaning.
She clapped her hands and said with an expression of indignation:
"This is unreasonable. How can we be careless about such a big thing like a disappearance?
I'll take care of this.
Let's go, I'll ask Father Ryan for help in the name of the future queen of the kingdom.
I don’t believe he dares to reject me! "
After hearing Hathaway's statement, Freya knew that Hathaway had agreed to form an alliance with her.
It's just that this little girl is cunning and doesn't speak out.
Just when Victor and Freya succeeded one after another,
Feng Deke is very miserable.
Because he failed.
Not only did he fail to persuade Marquise Julien to join their side.
On the contrary, he was almost instigated by Marquis Julien to rebel.
When he thought of that woman's words, he couldn't help but feel afraid.
"Mr. Feng Deke, I clearly understand your purpose.
But, I don't understand why you are so stupid.
Father Lane is strong now, and we can live here in peace,
All thanks to his conquest of the fishmen.
But look what you are doing, you are actually thinking of making an enemy of him.
Are you living your life too comfortably and want to make yourself uncomfortable?
Or do you think that since you have offended him now, the kingdom’s rescue will arrive in the afternoon?
You don't need his help and mercy anymore?
Don’t forget, you are just a businessman.
Businessmen should remain neutral and only seek profit.
Instead of getting involved in other people's plots and becoming other people's pawns.
If you win, you have to make a small profit.
But if you lose, wouldn’t it be a complete defeat?
Is this in your business interest?
Not to mention, I don’t see any hope of victory for you in this fight.
We are just ordinary people,
Want to survive in this crisis,
We must rely on the strong.
Who is the strongest in the team?
Not you, not me. Not the ally you call me.
It's Father Ryan who is targeted by you.
He and his friends are the ones who can make this team arrive here safely.
Feel confident to take root here!
And now, you and your friends are going to challenge our biggest supporter.
Are you crazy, or did I hear wrongly?
So, Mr. Feng Deke, if you want to go crazy, please do it yourself.
But I won't accompany you.
I just want to return to my land safely,
My people still need me to lead them.
I will not put myself in danger just for the sake of a fight of temper. "
After Marquis Julien said these words, he kicked Feng Deke out of the door.
He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.
But this happened to be the last one. Victor appeared in front of the door with Treville and Freya accompanied Hathaway.
Only he, Feng Deke, stood alone at the door of Ms. Julien's room with an embarrassed look on his face.
Needless to say, everyone knew he failed.
Fortunately, Freya and Victor didn't say anything.
He just smiled at Feng Deke and said hello:
"Mr. Feng Deke, we have already invited people out. Go and find Mr. Lucian.
We went together to ask Mr. Gareth for help, and to ask Father Ryan to help us find the missing person. "
