"Miss, look over there. There are some styles of items we have already made. Just choose one and make your own changes. We can deliver the goods to you in a short time..." As he said that, the waiter immediately took the princess to a light wall and gently pressed down a magic crystal. Then, all kinds of jewelry pictures appeared on the light wall, from rings, magic wands, crystal wristbands, etc.

“This, I want this... Use the best material for me..." Looking at the exquisite and elegant crown inside, Mariette completely forgot her own identity and screamed like a spoiled girl, attracting everyone's attention.

Looking at the screaming girl, I looked outside the store again. What a peaceful day! There was neither the crisis I imagined nor the nobleman I hoped for. It seems that this store is not famous enough! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many nobles hanging around here today. . . . . .

"Everyone, don't move. Stand still... I now suspect that your bird shop is operating illegally... Damn it, where is the owner? Let your owner come out and speak!"

Before I could wrap my head around it, a large group of soldiers and dozens of magicians rushed in, crowding the entire store entrance tightly. The customers also separated to the sides in fear and hid at the side counters.

Wait, why is there someone standing in the middle without moving? Isn't this the girl who was screaming just now? Well, judging from the expressions of the two guards, they probably don't take the soldiers rushing in seriously. Hehe, what a coincidence! Why does this scene in front of me look so familiar

"Hello, sir. Please understand that I opened this shop in accordance with the regulations of the kingdom for opening a shop and have completed all the formalities. I hope you will show mercy... You see... Sir, if you have any opinions, I will definitely correct them according to your wishes..." Seeing the expected trouble coming, Cosello immediately greeted him respectfully, and after approaching the officer, she quietly stuffed a large purse into his hand.

"Humph, you actually dared to bribe this general, I think you are tired of living... Come here, seal up everything in this store, and take all the clerks and the boss back with me." Grabbing the purse, the officer suddenly got angry and ordered to close the store and arrest people. Damn it, it seems that it is not so easy to quickly invade a certain area of a country without finding someone with enough power to back you up. I didn't expect that this crime would be put on my head one day.

"What right do you have to arrest people? Sir, we haven't broken any law. If we have, you have to give us a clear explanation..." Harry quickly rushed out from the main counter and stood in front of Kesero. Khan, reasoning with the officials? That's just asking for trouble. . . But from Kesero and Harry's position, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will definitely find a way to save their lives.

"What law have you broken? You all know what law you have broken... Come here, take them all back!" The officer pushed Harry away roughly and gave the order to arrest them.

"Tell me what you want to say clearly. What law have they broken? They are doing business just fine. Why are you interfering? I remember that you are from the public security guard team, not the inspection team under the Minister of Commerce. What rights do you have to investigate this matter? And you are so unreasonable?" Just as I was about to give the signal to silence them, the girl who was still choosing jewelry when most people were fleeing the counter in panic, turned around and walked towards the officer.

"You... who are you and why do you mind my business? Go away, I didn't say what I would do to the customers who come here in the future... Once I catch them, you can... go back!" After being scolded by the girl, the officer obviously lacked confidence and spoke with a guilty conscience.

"You haven't told me what law they have violated? Why do we have to close the store and arrest people?" The girl had no intention of giving in and kept pressing forward.

"Just now, you saw it, he... he bribed me... Just based on this point, I... I can punish him. And... and..." After hesitating for a long time, the officer suddenly fixed his eyes on the crystal crown in front of the counter. "And they plotted rebellion and privately made crowns. According to the law, they should be regarded as speculators and exterminated! Girl, you are not trying to cover up for them, are you?" The tone of the officer's voice changed drastically when he suddenly saw the crown.

"Sir, this crystal crown is what our shop is going to present to Her Majesty the Queen. You can't accuse me of anything!" Suddenly, someone came to help him out of righteousness. Cosello immediately shouted out his injustice. He knew that if his shop was closed and the people were arrested, he would definitely be finished.

"Hey, presenting it to Her Majesty the Queen? I see that you are still intent on stealing. Tell me, who can prove that you are going to present this crown to Her Majesty the Queen? Or have you reported the presentation plan to the palace? Humph, you dare to lie with your eyes open. Come on, kidnap the man for me..." In order to prevent any more trouble, the officer immediately signaled his subordinates not to hesitate any longer and asked them to go forward and arrest the man and take him away.

"I can prove that what they said is true!" Princess Mary immediately stepped forward to prove for Kosero. After all, from what the waitress said just now and their refusal to sell and make the crown, it can be known that they are really ready to present the crown to the palace.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you say such things? Come here, take them away together." Seeing that things were becoming more and more troublesome, the officer immediately tried to settle the matter as soon as possible.

“Hahaha! I didn’t expect that old man Bode’s men would even dare to arrest the princess… I think that old man wants to rebel! You bastards, use your dog eyes to see who you want to arrest?” Just as the officer’s voice had not yet finished, and the two guards beside Mariette were furious and ready to approach with knives, after a burst of laughter, a middle-aged man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and loudly complained to the soldiers. Then, he knelt down in front of the girl again…

Oh my god, I forgot to post yesterday's post after uploading it. I'm sweating! (To be continued)
