The shield wall formed by the four guards at the end of the corridor remained motionless under the woman's scolding, blocking the entrance.
Because of the blockage of the doorpost, Mo Bei couldn't see anyone coming, so he quickly told the situation to the puppets in the room, told Perona to put the gold coins and gems waiting for Gioya into the cabinet first, and then took Ai Erwin and Ned stepped forward to see what was going on.
As they approached the end of the corridor, they saw three women standing in front of the shield wall, led by Conrad's wife Valena.
Because of the special nature of Conrad's bedroom and the situation last night, they concluded that the mistress of the family usually lived in her own room and did not often spend the night here.
According to Blake, this Valena was born in one of the big families in the Federation of Commerce and Trade. There were competitions and marriages between various forces, and the relationships were complicated.
Therefore, the relationship between the couple should not be particularly close, and they don't even have any children yet. As for Conrad's plans, only he probably knows.
The Holy See of Zakarum does not allow polygamy. Even Emperor Hakan only has one queen and no concubines.
However, a rich and powerful nobleman like Conrad must have many lovers, and he probably got along very well with the maids.
It is impossible for other women to become popular by hooking up with a powerful man who is already married to a wife. If they don't keep a low profile, they will be burned to death. . .
Fortunately, this is the only female family member, otherwise it would be too troublesome. As a wife, she would probably not be like the housekeeper Gioia, who would come and go as soon as Conrad called her.
Trying to make a woman understand that now is not the right time to meet her husband, ugh. . . Any reason will be counterproductive!
"Hiss..." Ned took a deep breath as soon as he saw Valena.
"Look! What a great evil!"
Alvin suppressed his voice with all his strength and exclaimed in Mo Bei and Ned's ears.
Mo Bei secretly sighed, "I'll go." At the same time, he glanced sideways at him. He felt that this guy learned these unorthodox things very quickly, but he didn't think about who he learned it from.
Valena wore a beautifully embroidered gauze scarf, revealing only a face that was full of anger but still looked very beautiful.
And underneath that face, there is a majestic wave that fluctuates violently with the mood. The long skirt with a slightly low neckline cannot cover up the amazing plumpness, which is breathtaking.
The delicate ruby necklace seemed to be a beacon guiding the gaze, forcing the men present to work hard to control their six eyeball muscles.
It seems that the behavior of wearing a headscarf has nothing to do with the concept of body shame. It is just the dressing habit of local ladies. But Mo Bei admitted that the contrast brought by dressing up like this is really a plus.
Thinking of Conrad having to charter a car when he went out, he found it difficult to understand. How could he find a better seaport in Kurast?
"cough.."
Realizing that he had been overthinking without realizing it, he quickly retracted his mind and thought about how to deal with the woman in front of him.
As if to maintain her identity, Valena had stopped scolding her and said coldly:
"Don't forget, even if the head of the family comes with you personally, I still have the power to expel you."
Mo Bei ignored Valena's threat. This woman didn't know that the family had changed and was heading towards a bright road to liberation.
What he was paying attention to right now was the two maids who followed Valena with their heads bowed in silence. Their dim eyes made Mo Bei feel a sense of pity.
Your professionalism is not up to par. . .
He murmured in his mind, feeling that it was quite difficult to handle. In fact, he hoped to meet some sharp-tongued and evil servants who took advantage of others' power.
It seems that we can only leave this trouble to Perona to deal with it. Let's try to see if the method they agreed on before can temporarily get rid of this woman.
Although in the future when this aristocratic power falls apart, innocent people may inevitably suffer, but he feels that there is still a difference between this and his unscrupulous killing.
"Ma'am, please come this way."
Mo Bei paused, stepped aside to indicate permission, and the shield walls immediately separated on both sides.
Valena said no more, glanced at them half sullenly and half warningly, and then led the maid towards Conrad's bedroom.
"I thought you were going to kill someone again..." Alvin looked at Valena's skirt swinging with the lotus steps, and whispered behind Mo Bei's head.
"Almost." Mo Bei responded half-jokingly.
"It's too cruel. What bad intentions can the little widow have? She just wants to see her man." Alvin said.
"Little... little widow?"
Mo Bei tilted his head and glanced at him blankly, thinking that your title seemed to reveal some strange thoughts, little brother. .
"Pity."
Ned sighed quietly, leaving Mo Bei speechless again.
What a pure young man they were before. . . changed. . Everything has changed. .
At this time, Perona, who was in a certain room, once again showed a shocked and stunned expression after the treasure house and her party, and her steely will received a strong impact for the second time in a short period of time.
Seeing that Perona's eyes were even rounder than last time, Milor couldn't sit still, but he didn't dare to disturb him. He could only look at me and me at you with Akali, nervous. Waiting.
When Perona saw Valena leaving the two maids alone and walking into the room alone, she was ready to hint that Valena was not very stable in the family and asked her to go back to her natal home for a while, as she had discussed before.
But Valena complained to Conrad first, saying that she had been waiting for most of the night but no one came to deliver a message to her.
As she spoke, she walked straight to the window, closed the curtains, and then the long dress with luxurious fabric and full drape fell to the floor.
"I want a child, and I won't interfere with anything else."
Through the connection with the puppet, Perona was immediately stunned when she heard this sentence. Her wide eyes seemed to see two full moons in the sky.
Um. . It does look like it. .
what happened! ?
Why would she do such a thing! ?
How should this situation play out? I have never seen anything with similar themes!
As witty as Perona, her head was full of questions at this time.
In a sense, Valena has accomplished something that even the Demon Lords cannot do, and she is proud of herself.
Because of her sudden behavior, it left a huge shadow in Perona's heart.
Uh no.
It's two.
Perona wanted to call Mo Bei outside the door urgently, but she also felt that it was not good for Mo Bei and the others to see this situation. Moreover, the woman's words also made her feel a little sympathetic when she seemed to understand.
Her face was red, her brain was running wildly, and the top of her head was almost smoking, but she still couldn't come up with a solution to this super-class problem, and she couldn't deduce the relationship between the couple based on various details.
Under the huge visual oppression and mental pressure, that little brain was almost on the verge of failure.
"Your Highness, Duke Virgil is visiting!"
This notification was a relief for her, and when Valena heard this, her face darkened, and she silently picked up the long skirt that had fallen on the ground and put it on.
"There has been something unusual in the city recently. I am going to the mining city next. You should go home and stay for a while."
Perona finally seized the opportunity and let the puppet say these words.
"Huh?" Valena frowned and looked up, subconsciously asking:
"This has something to do with Virgil?"
But when she finished speaking, she immediately stopped as if she had violated a taboo, and added:
"I see."
After saying that, she straightened her clothes in the mirror, looked at Conrad with a slightly hopeful look, and then opened the door and went out.
Outside the door, the housekeeper Gioia bowed to see the mistress off, then turned to Conrad and said:
"Your Highness, Duke Virgil is here to visit. I have ordered him to be waiting at the observation deck."
"Um."
Conrad responded, used telekinesis to take out the gold coins and bags from the closet, landed them in front of Gioia and continued to give instructions:
"You handle the mercenary matters first, and you have to act quickly."
