Data Wasteland

A few days ago...

Sapphire residential area near the Royal Palace of Ice Blue City.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights came on, and the night was dimmed.

The Countess of Ursula is brightly lit, and Countess Kelly Ursula and her daughter are having dinner.

Compared with other parts of the kingdom, the nobles of Ice Blue City are more traditional, and they still follow the ancient eating and resting time.

They have four meals a day, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. Dinner is a full meal, I will drink a little wine, and go to bed after a short rest after eating.

"Marguerite, what's new in school today?" Mrs. Ursula asked. One day's dinner happens to be a time for family communication, and most of the time, my mother will ask about school matters.

"Nothing new." Marguerite poked at the steak on the plate, a little uninterested.

Knowing her daughter Moroccan mother, Mrs. Ursula saw that her daughter was abnormal. Marguerite seldom showed depression, so she asked with concern, "What's the matter, did you encounter something unhappy?"

"No, it's just boring." Marguerite said listlessly.

"Is it just boring?" Mrs. Ursula put down her knife and fork and looked into her daughter's eyes with a serious expression.

"Okay..." Marguerite said discouragedly in the face of her mother's stare. "I admit, I have a little trouble."

"Let's listen, maybe I can provide some advice." Mrs. Ursula took a sip of the red wine glass.

Marguerite fell into silence, seeing the ceiling from the dining table and the garden outside the window, seemingly hesitating.

"Are you sure it's a small trouble?" Mrs. Ursula began to pay attention.

Marguerite tapped her finger on the tabletop, bit her lip again, and looked a little irritable. Under repeated questioning by Mrs. Ursula, she finally said, "Little Zot."

"Is he pestering you again?" Mrs. Ursula was a little worried and blamed herself. If it weren't for her, how could little Zot dare to be so presumptuous to an earl's daughter.

"He said Senator Zotte has..." Marguerite paused for a while before saying, "I have given up on you. If I don't accept him, our family will suffer soon."

"He, did he really say that?" Mrs. Ursula didn't believe it.

"Do you really think your old lover cares about you?" Marguerite was dismissive. "If I remember correctly, you haven't dated for a long time."

"You, what did you say!" Mrs. Ursula's face instantly paled. She couldn't help thinking of Senator Zotte's indifference to her during this period. They have not seen each other for more than a month. She thought that the current situation is turbulent and the other party is busy with political affairs. Hearing such words, she feels crisis.

It broke out all at once.

"I'm going to find my master." Marguerite said suddenly.

"Naughty!" Mrs. Ursula subconsciously scolded, "Your master is in the edge town of the northern wilderness, where monsters are rampant and there is no satellite signal, it will be very dangerous!"

"Is the Ice Blue City not dangerous?" Marguerite retorted, "Rely on that old guy?" She tilted her neck and said contemptuously, "I think you are going to give your own daughter to their father and son as a plaything."

Marguerite straightened up her slightly green chest, put her hands on it, showing her flattery, "Countess Ursula, what do you think of my figure, can you give you a long face?"

The young girl pretends to be a mature girl, and her pretentious look does not have a style, but in Mrs. Ursula's eyes, she only feels that her face is hot, like being slapped severely.

"No matter what you say, I will not agree to this matter!" Mrs. Ursula insisted on gritting her teeth, "You are still studying. Don't want to go anywhere until you finish your studies!"

"It seems that I am going to marry into Zuo Te's family. When the time comes, our mother and daughter will serve their father and son together, how nice~" Marguerite said grotesquely.

Mrs. Ursula looked at her daughter, her face changed several times, angry, self-blaming, and painful, and finally she sighed slightly, "It's really impossible. I'll send you to the noble boarding school in Monitor Lizard City so that you are closer to your master. "

"Really!" Marguerite was surprised, "You agreed to go?"

"You are my darling, how can you bear to let the pig go." Mrs. Ursula sighed. The youngest son of Zuo Te's family is not qualified for his body, appearance, academic ability. If his daughter followed him, his life would be miserable in the future.

"Miss, miss, you can't go in!"

Outside the door came the anxious voice of the maid, and then the sound of rapid footsteps, the restaurant door was roughly pushed open, and a black figure rushed in.

"Madam, I'm sorry, I can't stop her."

The man is tall and straight, a compact black military uniform, long leather boots and a military cap on his feet, strong and neat.

Seeing the appearance of the incoming person, Mrs. Ursula raised her hand to the maid, motioned to the other party to retreat, and then stood up to greet her.

"Miss Ghost Fox..."

As soon as Mrs. Ursula spoke, she was interrupted by the other party.

"You still have an hour to pack up and get out of here."

"Miss Guihu, I don't understand what you mean." Mrs. Ursula asked in confusion.

"Just half an hour ago, the Supreme Commander of the Black Prison issued an arrest warrant for the Ursula family, and the people who arrested you will be here soon."

"Why should we believe you!" Marguerite slapped the table and stood up. "You

A traitor! "

Facing the girl's horizontal eyebrows with cold eyes, Guihu's gaze greeted him, and his voice calmly said, "Guihu has never betrayed his master."

The two faced each other in their eyes for nearly a minute, and finally, under the persuasion of Mrs. Ursula, they pulled out the chairs and sat down.

"Miss Guihu, we are just a poor mother and daughter. We have no political stance and no crime. Why should we arrest us?"

"Congressman Zot regards you as a victim." Guihu said.

"Isn't Senator Zotte from the Queen's Party?" Mrs. Ursula refused to believe that the old lover who had pursued her for many years would sacrifice her. And there is no sense of sacrifice. Senator Zotte has always supported the Queen, and the black prison is the Queen's direct agency.

"Although Senator Zuot has been promoting to the outside world that he is a loyal follower of the Queen, he is actually a bit swayed. Some time ago he participated in a secret royal party gathering. This matter was dug up by A Qiaomu. In order to protect himself, Zuo The Special Representative provided some evidence about you..."

"About me?" Mrs. Ursula murmured to herself, "I haven't done anything."

"Five years ago, did you work as a material supervisor in the logistics department of the Imperial City Guards?"

"I..." Mrs. Ursula sat down in despair, her face was ashes, and she was sluggish for a while, covering her face with her hands, and whispering.

Five years ago, her husband died. Since he was not killed in battle, but because of his own operational errors, the pension was very small. In order to take care of her, the commander of the Imperial Guard arranged her to the logistics department.

During that time, she received some bribes, but the amount was not large. Unexpectedly, many years later, she would be used as a bargaining chip by her most trusted person.

"This is the end of the matter, it's useless to be sad, so hurry up and pack up and go." Guihu persuaded.

"Where to go?" Mrs. Ursula looked blank, holding the hand of the ghost fox, "Where else can we go?"

"Go to the master, Miss Marguerite's master, as long as you come to him, you will be safe." Ghost Fox said.

Mrs. Ursula had not recovered from the huge blow, and was in a daze. Marguerite had left the restaurant and ordered the butler and servants to pack up.

"Miss Marguerite, the pier leading to Longxin Lake will be blocked soon. I have arranged boats in Princess Lake. You will go down the river and enter the East Canal, passing Baihu City and the East China Sea, and then passing the long In Weicheng, take a long way to enter the Chiyan Principality and cross the Chiyan Mountains to reach the northern wilderness."

"When you see the master, tell him that he will always be the king of ghosts and foxes."

Half an hour later, an old freight carriage quietly drove out of the back door of the Earls of Ursula, disappearing into the twilight with the sound of light horseshoes.
