For the surviving citizens in Lyon, this night was an archangel carrying steel and fire descending from the sky, using the power derived from the ancient destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to penetrate the earth and destroy the demons and monsters that were ravaging the city. The rebels who colluded were sent to purgatory.
Therefore, people in later generations spontaneously regarded this day as the anniversary of the city's redemption and rebirth in some kind of good hope, and called it "Yemel Day"; in order to celebrate the one who came from hell, holding poisonous smoke and flames. The archangel with the double-headed gun became the city's patron.
However, Miss Flanders, who had taken refuge outside the city at the Iron Cavalry Manor, rushed to the city after hearing the news, but unexpectedly met her old housekeeper again near the city gate. "Joseph Needham? What are you doing here? Didn't I say that I don't want to see anything related to my family anymore?"
"Good day, may the Lord bless you, Miss Fran, ah, no, Miss Fran." The old man named Joseph Needham, who had frosty hair and was dressed in dusty clothes, said with a wry smile: "Of course I still honor your brother. , the current Duke of Curzon has ordered me to deliver a message to you."
"Duke Kerzon? So, as the link between the capital's banker and the northern royal family, my brother has been promoted again?" The girl with blond hair, blue eyes, and black skirt, who looked snow-white, slender and curvy, sneered. : "The Travel family seems to be getting more prosperous."
"But he has also been exposed to more crises and risks." However, the old housekeeper, Joseph Needham, seemed not to hear the sarcasm in her words, and said honestly: "Although the current master does not have the title of Minister of Finance, he has Chancellor of the Exchequer, this is the most dangerous thing.”
"The demands of the 'bold' Majesty Charles and his court officials are becoming more and more greedy and difficult to satisfy. Although your Majesty has given you high honor and status, once you cannot satisfy him, then what will happen to you?" The Lavelle family’s crisis is right around the corner.”
"Then what do you want, brother?" Miss Flanders breathed out softly, looked at him coldly and said, "Do you still expect to continue to use me? This person who entered into a wealthy marriage for the sake of my brother was rushed here in disguise. The poor guy from the south; will he continue to be his retreat and backup?"
"No... no..." The old butler Needham waved his hands quickly and said: "The Duke is just passing the message on his behalf. Baron de Beauvin, Chairman Jacques Lafitte, and others from the Big Bankers Group and the Capital Quadrant Association, Chief Commissioner John Lauter and other colleagues in the industry hope to get the opportunity to carry out currency exchange business in the south. In this way, your Excellency can realize part of the real estate and use it as capital for you, Miss Fran, to develop your business in the south..."
"The group of bankers in the capital? Is this what my brother asked me to do?" The slender blonde girl in black skirt sneered after hearing his statement: "Then you know who are standing behind me now. What? The Maritime Merchant Guild in Marseille, the Black River Shipping Association in Sète, the Federation of Overseas Provincial Merchants in Phoenicia, the Eastern Mediterranean Guild in Toulouse... Most importantly, I will also be responsible for participating in the preparations for the Southern Government central bank and will soon mint and issue new Corolla coins.”
She almost listed a dozen of them in one go. After she was also a well-known local business organization in the south, she looked at the other party sarcastically and said: "Brother, where did you get this inexplicable confidence that made me give up all this and accept it out of thin air?" His kindness?"
"In this case, can you, Miss, please protect the bloodline of the Travel family that is about to be born?" Upon hearing this, the old butler Joseph Needham smiled helplessly and said without surprise: "This is also my selfish request, because now the capital The situation in the region is really too dangerous.”
"Oh?" Miss Flanders asked interestingly after hearing this: "I didn't expect that my brother was so capable that he could make Charlotte, the doting and coquettish crazy woman, conceive so quickly. Or is it some other lovers who are always involved?"
"It's Miss Matilda de Dillion," the old housekeeper Joseph Needham replied helplessly: "It can no longer be concealed. But even if it is sent to a manor in the countryside, it is no longer safe; in the capital There are also mobs, rioters, and wild beasts in the suburbs and countryside.”
"It's actually her? I thought it would be Laura de Beauvin, the bold banker's daughter, or Marie de Léoran, the marquis's daughter who is good at hiding her emotions." However, Miss Flanders He laughed like a rubbed balloon: "This daughter of the former Chancellor of the Royal Seal, my classmate in the studio and one of the few good friends, has always been known as a good girl who is calm enough and stays out of things, but in the end she was given to her by her brother. Did you succeed?"
"If that gentle and decent cousin Charlotte finds out, will she go crazy? Maybe then a group of mobs will happen to rush into Matilda's hiding place, and the mother and son will disappear; and then suddenly One day, Charlotte picked up a cute baby..."
"Holy Mother, your thoughts and accusations are too terrible, Miss Fran." However, the old housekeeper, Joseph Needham, begged and interrupted her: "Please show mercy. For the sake of this unborn child, For the sake of innocence, provide for his mother..."
"Then I also have a request, please be sure to tell him." However, Miss Flanders, whose green eyes were as clear and cold as the frozen lake, said: "After this child is born, regardless of whether he is male or female, he will be taken care of by me. Raising her as a guardian has nothing to do with him anymore!”
"Matilda will also have a husband whose marriage was registered in a village church but died in the war; in this way, she does not have to bear the dishonorable status of an adulterer; she can live in a property provided by the church. Under the divine gaze and blessing, the child was born.”
However, there was a delay on the way. After Miss Flanders' carriage entered the city, it was already dark. Therefore, the various strange corpses that were searched and killed by the soldiers in the city along the way and hung on the city walls also filled the post-war city with an inexplicable sense of horror.
This weird and terrifying atmosphere lasted until she entered the inner city across the river, and then gradually faded away. However, the horseback sergeant responsible for guiding and clearing the way did not lead her to the conspicuous large guard tower, nor did he go to the nearby city hall.
If it weren't for this cavalry sergeant who was one of the members of the First Guard Company who had picked her up many times, she would have almost thought that she had fallen into some kind of political conspiracy and trap. But soon the sergeant stopped at the end of a street and handed over his duties to his companions who walked out of the shadows.
And this is also a strong female soldier wearing a guard company's exclusive sapphire blue uniform, silver scale half armor, and white feather helmet, but with obvious gender characteristics. When she saw the other party, Miss Flanders, who was slightly worried, calmed down completely; because she also knew these female soldiers.
They were originally female members of knight families with blood heritage from the vicinity of Avignon and even the Grand Provovne region. As sisters and eldest daughters of knights with heritage in the Free Army, although they were unable to inspire blood power, their general physiques Stronger than ordinary men.
Coupled with the influence and influence from the family since childhood; therefore, after being recruited as a soldier in the guard company, he is responsible for the security of some sensitive special occasions, or as a guard for middle- and high-level female family members. They were sought after within the Free Army and were called the Flower Company.
However, since these members of the Flower Company appeared here, it was obvious that the man who had meditated in the tower for more than half a year and quelled a rebellion just after waking up wanted to meet her in an informal setting. With this mood and thoughts in mind, she walked into the silently opened side door.
Then, Miss Flanders saw the exotic courtyard inside; the long pool sparkling under the moonlight, the densely planted dwarf palms and coconut trees in the courtyard, and the flat roof decorated with rhombuses, ripples and flowers. , domed buildings, and rooms hung with curtains and gauze.
But there was only one building with bright lights; therefore, Miss Flanders did not need the guidance of the female guard at all, and walked through the long pool edge, the corridor lined with flower columns, and the carefully cut gardens and flowers. Shu, came to the seemingly unattended hall.
However, as she passed through the heavy gauze curtains, she gently pushed open the closed door. The rich smell that was extinguished in an instant caused Miss Flanders's pale face to be fumigated into bright red; because, how could she not be familiar with this rich smell?
In an instant, the door behind her closed silently, cutting off all the noise outside; but also leaving her in this empty hall. However, in this hall used to meet and receive guests, there was only a figure behind the curtain in the distance.
That is a graceful female body that can make people feel the thrilling beauty even through the hazy gauze. However, as the other party continued to flutter out his silver hair like a waterfall, he also wore a small crown inlaid with purple gems, which shone particularly dazzlingly under the bright lights.
Other than that, all she wore was a pair of pink silk stockings and garters, and white lace gloves. It was just undulating in the air, exposed on a large seat; and under the control of invisible power, it turned and made various moving postures.
Along with the weeping whines and chants, it is like a dignified and gorgeous epiphyllum that only blooms in the night, full of fragrance and fragrance. Even Miss Flanders, a woman of the same gender, could not help but feel her mouth dry and her skin tremble due to the dazzling beauty.
The panels, walls, and furniture behind the seats were also stained with some suspicious traces. Therefore, when Miss Flanders involuntarily walked through the gauze curtain, she could even see the expression of prayer, gratitude and relief on the opposite side of Ms. Marlena.
The next moment, Miss Flanders was wrapped tightly from her neck to her toes, wearing a long black skirt, a fur shawl, a black gemstone necklace, a black satin belt, and a silk lining... just under the invisible power. They were quickly freed from each other; another piece fell to the ground...
In the end, only the straight and slender black stockings and garters were left, as well as the one-piece bra that tightened the waist and squeezed out a large snow-white curve on the upper body. Ms. Malena, who was hanging in the air, finally lost her support and fell into the arms of the man who appeared.
The next moment, Miss Flanders, who was hugging her body unnaturally, didn't have time to salute; she suddenly felt that her entire field of vision was turned upside down. When she regained consciousness, she couldn't help but scream; because she had followed the man and hung upside down on the high ceiling.
Therefore, her loose blond hair and decorative transparent petticoat all fell straight to the floor under the influence of the earth's gravity. When she was frightened, she couldn't help but work harder to wrap her limbs around the man to ensure her sense of security.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let you fall." Then, the man's gentle tone sounded in her ears; however, when Miss Flanders heard these words, her body was opened Like an invisible valve, I just feel that there is some kind of heat flow flowing backwards from my body.
