I really can't control myself

Count Miran was really angry. You are just a small businessman, but you don't give him face at all. What do you rely on?

Unexpectedly, the other party really has something to rely on.

Yes, Lucy quickly brought out her backer, that is, the appointment letter from Prime Minister Terrad, indicating that she is not an ordinary businessman now, but the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Although Count Miran has not paid attention to this matter, he has heard about it. However, the Royal Chamber of Commerce is still in the formation stage, and it has not even been appointed to the court. It is not a formal institution. Count Miran actually does not know what the Royal Chamber of Commerce does specifically.

Obviously, Lucy's method can scare Duman, the captain of the city guard, but it is obviously not enough to scare Count Miran.

He knows that Lucy is definitely pretending to be powerful. If something really happens, will Terrad punish him, a nobleman, because of you, a small businessman?

And he is not an ordinary nobleman now. Terrad should obviously know about the lottery. How could he come to him at this time?

But even so, he couldn't openly cause trouble for Terrad. Since Terrad was mentioned, the prime minister's face must be preserved, and he couldn't slap the prime minister in the face.

So Earl Miran let Lucy go back on the surface, but in fact, as soon as the other party left, he directly asked his men to catch the person back.

The difference in doing so is the face problem on Terrad's side. After all, the appointment letter was issued by Terrad. Although he is just a businessman, if you detain him openly, it would be a loss of Terrad's face.

But if you catch him privately, even if everyone knows that you caught him, it doesn't matter. Because Terrad will not investigate, there is room for maneuver here.

He is very sure that Terrad will never investigate this matter, thinking that he, Earl Miran, is about to become a celebrity in the imperial political arena, and no one will cause trouble for him at this time. And Terrad, how could he stand up for a businessman? He said he didn't know about it, and no one would care about it.

Lucy obviously didn't expect Earl Miran to be so rampant. Although the music box was prepared by her, Lucy obviously didn't know what it was used for. How could a small merchant like her get the news?

So when she was attacked, Lucy obviously hadn't reacted yet.

The Earl's men were naturally not comparable to the guards of the Chamber of Commerce. It was also because the guards here were still loyal and protected Lucy all the way out. Except for the old butler who drove him, the other guards were almost killed instantly.

The old butler was obviously also seriously injured, and Lucy was also stunned by this sudden change. For a while, she didn't react.

It was obvious that she had too few dealings with nobles before, and she didn't expect this group of people to come like this. This is in the imperial city, and the other party dared to kill people in the street, and there was no scruples at all.

If she had known this situation earlier, she would obviously not have come to see people so rashly. Of course, it was too late to say anything now. Now her mind was blank.

The old butler who drove the car couldn't bear it at this time. He was bleeding too much and was about to lose consciousness. The carriage was bumping around everywhere, and everything on the street was affected. Fortunately, the road he was running on was straight, otherwise the car would have flipped over long ago.

"Who is it, stop the car!" At this moment, a voice sounded from the front.

The old butler who was driving the car heard it, but at this time he had almost lost consciousness, couldn't even lift his head, and couldn't see what was going on in front of him, and who asked him to stop.

It was obvious that the carriage had no intention of stopping at all, and continued to run forward.

Then there was a loud "bang", and Lucy in the car was completely unprepared. With a huge force, she was thrown out directly, crashed through the roof and flew into the air.

The severe pain came, Lucy didn't know what happened, she just felt like she was flying in the air. Just when she thought she was going to die, a strong chest suddenly pressed against her, and soon she felt that she was hugged by someone, the kind of princess hug.

A strange smell quickly entered her nose. She was sure that it was a man who was holding her, but she was so dizzy at this time that she couldn't calm down and couldn't see who was holding her.

"My Lord!" "My Lord!" She could only hear many people around her shouting "My Lord" in her direction, probably shouting to the man who was holding her.

"Someone is coming." At this time, she heard the man's voice again, a very strong male voice, and he sounded not very old.

Then there was the sound of swords and armor.

Lucy looked forward with a confused look and found that there were many soldiers next to her, and at this time they were all pointing their swords and guns at the front, because there were several figures chasing them in front.

Obviously, these were the ones who came to catch Lucy, the ones sent by Earl Miran.

Seeing the battle on the opposite side, the few people who came to chase Lucy stopped. There were many people on the other side, and judging from their outfits, they were equipped with the regular army of the empire. The person on the opposite side was obviously a general.

It was not strange for the other party to appear here, because in a few days it would be the Crown Prince's first birthday banquet, and of course all the imperial nobles who had nothing to do had to come back to attend the banquet. So it was not strange for a general to appear in the city.

The other party should be a general who just returned to the city, and these people did not recognize who he was. It is said that because there are too many people returning to the imperial city these days, the people entering the city lined up at the city gate, and everyone wanted to come to the wedding banquet of the crown prince.

So even at night these days, there are still people entering the city. Of course, the empire has not declared martial law or curfew, so they can enter at will.

Linton has never worried about someone taking the opportunity to rebel. Maybe he is just bored.

"General, we are ordered to take this woman back. Please hand her over to us." The leader was quite polite and bowed to the man holding Lucy opposite.

"At this late night, arresting people in the street?" The man's voice sounded, "You don't look like good people."

"We are from the Earl of Miran's mansion. Please give us a favor, General." The leader did not want to drag it out for too long. After all, this matter really cannot be exposed too much. Now the matter has become a bit out of hand. If the city guards come looking for them, they are not worried about being caught, but they will lose face for Earl Miran, who will punish them, so they just move out of the backstage.

"Earl Miran? Who is he? From your tone, he seems to be quite famous? From what you said, this guy is more famous than me, right?" The man smiled directly, "Listen carefully, my name is Gasen. Melowei, go back and ask your master who is more famous."
