?”

Her cold voice echoed faintly in the empty study, but no one answered her question.

…

"It's not just that."

The story in the room had obviously been going on for a while, but it didn't look like it was going to end for a while. Betissa continued: "Everyone thinks that the earl is crazy. He actually didn't get what he deserved.

We captured a fortress of the Empire with the courtesy. Oh my God, before this I always thought that we mountain people were the most rebellious citizens of the Empire, but I never expected that we would be nothing compared to this lord Count.

"

"I have long heard that the Eruin people have a great king. When he founded the country, he made an oath that the Eruin people would independently protect their people. I didn't expect that this would be the case." When he said this,

The round-faced little maid couldn't help but glance at her lord secretly, but she was disappointed to find that Akane was unmoved and just asked numbly: "Then what?"

She sighed in disappointment and continued to answer: "Then the nobles of the empire certainly refused to give up. They gathered an army to teach this ignorant foreigner a lesson. Of course, the result was not as good as theirs.

Meaning - As for the following, I told you before, Lord Earl, that Lord Earl naturally captured them all. Not only that, he also used these people as hostages to demand a large ransom from their families.

There is also a name called 'reputation damage compensation' or 'mental damage compensation' or something like that."

Akane shivered as if she had been electrocuted. She raised her head and looked at her maid, and asked with some disbelief: "You said 'mental damages'? You never told me about this before, Betissa!"

"But that's not the point, Lord Earl..."

Betissa answered inexplicably, but she did not realize that the Earl in front of her had clenched his teeth.

Once upon a time, she, the only person who had stayed with the lord for the longest time, had become accustomed to those strange terms. She once thought that was the only bad habit of the lord.

But at this moment, those words that once sounded so difficult to understand now sound so familiar to him.

Betissa was still chattering: "According to me, there is actually no need for the earl to offend the nobles of the empire so harshly. He is a foreigner after all. If he shows off his power for a while, he will be punished in the future.

Her Majesty the Queen also got angry several times because of this, and several Dukes hated him so much that they gnashed their teeth. The only thing worthy of praise is that this Earl stole the show. Now in the area near Rushta, I am afraid that

There are very few people who don’t know him. I really don’t understand what he wants to do.”

In the middle of her words, she was suddenly stunned, because she suddenly saw the count in front of her shed tears. She hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Akane shook her head vigorously.

Because she understands.

All this was done just to tell her something.

I'm already here, Qian.

As promised——

(PS: It’s so late to write this today. I haven’t played much with Sword and Soul. Woohoo, I took Sister Qian and painfully begged for a monthly ticket. In addition, someone asked yesterday about the reset of the Ether Dragon. Paying mana is actually a card.

In terms of abilities, the cost of Ether Dragon itself is 25 water; however, I also read the description of that card, and there is actually something wrong with it. I think it should be written as an enchantment.) (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature
