The carriage entered the city all the way. Although it was night, as the largest commercial center in the empire, the prosperity of the imperial capital was famous throughout the continent, so except during war years, the city gates here were never closed!
Rody was hanging far behind the carriage. He didn't dare to follow too closely. God knows how powerful that beautiful and shameless woman is! If she were to discover him, he might be imprisoned together with Star in the small dark cell of the police station.
The carriage passed through Victory Square, the most magnificent square in the imperial capital, and slowly entered a wide road. Rody has been in the Imperial Capital for two years. Although he is not familiar with this area, he also knows that this is a neighborhood where only the top nobles of the Imperial Capital are qualified to live. The families living in this neighborhood are all rich or noble, and they are all truly wealthy families!
Seeing the carriage slowly stopping at the door of a very large mansion, the thick hemlock door of the mansion was painted red, showing an iron-blooded aura. What surprised Rody and almost fell over was that he had already I clearly saw the family emblem printed on the door—oh my god, it was actually a tulip in flames! ! !
As a talented student of the Imperial College, Roddy, who is very familiar with the history of imperial affairs, certainly knows what the tulip in the flames represents!
That represents endless glory and brilliance! It represents the admiration of thousands of people and the majesty of iron blood! This Flame Tulip family is the descendant of Marshal Rudolf, the first marshal under the founding emperor of the empire. In the six hundred years of the empire's history, the family has produced a total of fourteen imperial marshals, each of whom is an outstanding military strategist and strategist. Family, make great achievements in the expansion of the empire's territory! Roddy remembered very clearly that the history teacher said in a respectful tone: "The Tulip family is the family of the military god of the empire!!"
Of course, Roddy has deep respect for such a family! He never thought that he would attack someone from the Tulip family. Now it seems that tonight's incredible beauty has the best explanation for her astonishing strength - of course, people from the Emperor God family must be very powerful. Seeing that the carriage had slowly entered the flashing door, and then the door closed deeply, Rody felt uneasy.
Of course he knew what the Tulip family meant. If he secretly ran here to save people and was caught, that would be a very scary thing! If you let others know that tonight, a group of people attacked the house of the Emperor God! Then it is certain that his group will be ordered to be hanged! If you are a normal person, the only thing you can do now is to go home, pack your luggage, and then run away as far away as possible before the matter is exposed!
Roddy thought about it carefully, and then sighed. He really couldn't abandon his friends and escape alone. That really goes against his principles as a human being. Although Roddy cannot be regarded as a noble person, he is definitely not a person who gives up on his brothers and friends.
After gritting his teeth, Rody rushed into a small alley next to the mansion, then carefully checked that there was no one on the left and right, lightly jumped up and climbed onto the wall, then turned over and jumped over...
Nicole watched angrily as her brother was carried back drunk. Although she was extremely angry inside, her face was cold and showed no expression at all. She just waved her hands to several servants and said coldly: "Bring it up." Go down and let him rest."
But the future Duke Rudolf was not a peaceful and obedient person. He was so drunk that he lost all sense and could no longer tell who was standing in front of him. His eyes were distracted, he was looking at his sister with laughter, he actually stretched out a finger to try to tease her chin, and muttered in a daze: "Oh, dear Sarah, haven't I come to see you in a few days?" You, have you forgotten me? You little vixen! Let’s see how I teach you tonight!” After saying that, he opened his arms and rushed towards Nicole.
Nicole's face was already livid with anger, and with a slight and clever turn of her body, the opponent was knocked away. There were already sparks in her eyes, and she twitched her little mouth slightly and said coldly: "Sarah? Are you going to that dirty place again?" The poor playboy was not aware of his dangerous situation. Nicole stretched out a little finger, and a white light suddenly shot out from her fingertip, hitting Playboy's chest directly.
The playboy didn't even have time to scream, he flew more than three meters away and fell hard to the ground face down.
Rody hid in a big tree outside the hall and saw all this with his eyes. He secretly speculated that if the beautiful woman attacked him, how sure was he that he could avoid it? The answer in his heart caused a cold sweat to break out on his back.
In fact, Roddy was hiding there without even daring to show off, and was careful to hide himself. He knew very well that Star was tied up in the yard now. Although there was no one in the yard, Rody didn't dare to save people when the terrifying sorceress looked down. He had already made plans and planned to wait until midnight, after everyone here had rested, before taking action.
Presumably they would not send Star to the police station so late. They should tie him up and throw him into a woodshed or stable until dawn, right? That beautiful sorceress seems to be the mistress here. The master's bedroom should be far away from places like the woodshed and stable. In that case, it would be safer for Roddy to save people.
Just when Rody was hiding in the big tree and thinking wildly. The people in the hall were all gone at some point. Star, who was trapped like a rice dumpling in the yard, was also carried down by several sturdy servants.
Although he was annoyed by mosquitoes and ants on the trees, Roddy still waited patiently for midnight.
Based on the position of the moon in the sky, Rody calculated that it should be past midnight, so he slowly moved down holding the tree trunk.
Although he knew nothing about the environment here, fortunately, his grades in architecture in college were pretty good. From the location of the entire mansion, he could tell at a glance where the owner's living quarters were and where the servants were. Where is the living area where there are handymen such as the woodshed and horse stable. Roddy saw the way and ran all the way to the stable.
Roddy has never seen such a huge stable! He originally thought that the stables at Imperial College were big enough, but the stables here were more than twice as big as those at Imperial College! There is room for more than a hundred horses here! Rody sighed and took a sneak peek at the window of the handyman's room in front of the stable. The lights were out. He gently opened the door and walked in.
"Star!" Roddy shouted in a low voice as he walked away. In the darkness, he tripped twice on the straw and wooden boxes on the ground, but he did not dare to light a lamp. There was already a lot of straw and horse manure on his body, but he no longer cared about it. He knew that if he couldn't find Star before dawn, they would all be dead after tomorrow!
Just when he had almost reached the end of the stable but had not yet found Star, Roddy suddenly heard slight footsteps coming from the door. His heart suddenly rose to his throat. In a panic, he ran into the largest stable without choosing a way.
This stable is obviously much larger than the stables for other horses, and the construction is also quite exquisite.
The saddle on the railing is obviously a very sophisticated piece of high-end cargo. Rody looked back and saw a pair of eyes looking at him in the darkness. Before Rody could scream, he immediately realized that it was just a horse.
Even in the dark, Roddy could vaguely see that it was an extremely majestic black horse. Its limbs were as strong as steel and iron bones. The muscles on its body were distinct and as powerful as knives. ! The horse was looking at him warily, obviously his intrusion had disturbed its sweet dream. The horse was tapping its hooves restlessly, and hot air was blowing out of its nose.
Rody moved slowly and cautiously to the side of the horse, muttering in a low voice: "Horse, horse, I'm not a horse thief, but I have no ill intentions towards you at all..." After that, he touched the horse with his hand. Touching the horse's mane, trying to calm the horse using the horsemanship skills learned in school.
At this time, the footsteps were gradually approaching here, and it was obvious that the person coming was heading here.
Rody groaned secretly in his heart. In desperation, he suddenly saw the hanging beam above his head. He jumped up, grabbed the hanging beam with both hands, and then hooked his legs up, hanging on it.
"Garros...you are dishonest again!" A soft and sweet voice came from outside the stable.
Nicole stood outside the stable, looking at the horse that was restlessly tapping its hooves inside the stable. This was her father's favorite horse during his lifetime, and it was also the horse that his father used to lead tens of thousands of troops to charge into battle for the empire.
"Garros... don't move... I'm... tonight... in a very bad mood." Nicole's tone was very low, and there was a sad emotion hidden in that beautiful voice. It was soft in this moving voice. Listen to It almost breaks people's hearts.
Nicole gently opened the partition door of the stable and walked in slowly. Rody was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing. He tried not to move for fear of making the slightest sound.
Nicole reached out and slowly stroked the black horse's mane and neck. Under the owner's gentle caress, the horse Garros quickly calmed down.
"Garros... I'm very sad..." Nicole's words seemed to be filled with infinite sadness: "Why... why do I have to bear all this... I miss my father tonight..." She slowly hugged the horse and let herself He put his face against the horse's neck and murmured in a low voice: "I know, in fact, you also miss your father, right?"
In the darkness, this girl in a snow-white nightgown gently hugged the horse and cried softly. Roddy hung on the ceiling, listening to the heartbreaking cry, and saw Nicole's beautiful blond hair hanging on her shoulders, and a strand of hair on her forehead was wet with tears on her face. For some reason, his My young heart suddenly moved... as if someone deep in my heart had gently touched...
Oh my God, what the hell happened to make such a beautiful girl like an elf cry so sadly? It's simply a sin...
Nicole cried softly for a long time, then she let go of the horse Garros and gently smoothed her long hair. She sighed and whispered: "Okay, Jaros, I cried again today. This is very wrong. I failed my father's expectations of me... I should be brave, not cry!" She stroked her gently. He touched the horse's neck and whispered: "I know, in fact, you are also very bad. The groom told me that you are always very irritable... I know that you don't like the life of being locked in the house every day. You also miss your father, you and him. A day of riding together, right?”
"But I really don't know what to do... The family is gradually declining, and the tulips are withering... But there is nothing I can do! It would be great if I were a boy! I can inherit my father's legacy... But that playboy, he As my father’s only son, the only male in the family! But he is in a daze, he has tarnished the family’s honor... I feel helpless!”
Nicole sighed, clasped her hands and prayed: "May my father's spirit in heaven give me courage! May God give us the glory and hope of the Tulip family! May the Almighty God give me guidance! Let me no longer be a People fight alone!”
Just as Nicole's delicate voice ended, there was a sudden plop, and a dark figure fell from the sky and hit the floor in front of Nicole. Then the man slowly raised his head, and his gray and dirty face faced Nicole. What made the girl even more frightened and almost suffocated was that the face was actually a yin-yang face that was half black and half white!
