Poverty Alleviation Princess

"What are you playing..." Before the words of laughter came out, the middle-aged man felt more and more difficult to breathe, and his vision began to blur.

"Since you know my identity." The young man stood up while leaning on the wall, "you should know what the family I came from is famous for."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled like a cat.

"Earl of Poison, you didn't just talk about it casually."

The boy's childish face flashed an indifference that didn't match his age, and then he moved his body while grinning - thanks to Musashi-san for teaching during this time, although he was beaten, the reason why he protected his vitals in time was because Looking at the eyes, they are actually flesh wounds.

He was just waiting for the opponent to separate, and there was a moment when he could kill with one blow.

This is what Musashi personally taught him.

Force is not everything, people with low talent and limited force may not be able to defeat those who are stronger than themselves.As long as you can find your own fighting style, all this is not 'impossible'.

Mind and poison are probably the most suitable fighting methods for him.

Cain thought so.

With a knife or a sword, he will definitely not be able to defeat Musashi in his life.

Even other adults...like his father, he couldn't do anything about it.

But conspiracy is not the same as poison.

They are sharp tools that allow the weak and incompetent themselves to control their destiny.

Cain pushed open the door carefully, and ran towards the room where the young woman was dragged earlier.

He doesn't know the identity and past of this person, but as long as she wants to go to Andy, they are companions.

Cain endured the pain and ran around the third floor.After a while, however, he stopped.

The third floor is too quiet.

It was clearly the voices of those participants and attendants running and shouting just now, but now it can almost be described as quiet.The insults belonging to the nobles and the running of the servants disappeared at some point.

Cain held his breath and took two steps back, trying to hide behind the decorative statue next to him.

"You are Cain."

A strange voice suddenly sounded, the young man tensed up, subconsciously turned around and raised his hand to wave out the poison hidden in his hand.

He had already held his breath in advance, so it was only this unsuspecting stranger who was poisoned...?

The red-haired man quickly took a few steps back and frowned at the boy in front of him.

Beautiful, black hair, ice green eyes...these all fit the description of that noble girl.

But she never said that he had poison on him.

Although this poison is not fatal, it is not completely without effect after inhaling a little.

He felt a blur in front of his eyes, and his breathing became a lot faster.

"..."

Taking advantage of the young man's inaction, Cain turned and ran away.But before he ran two steps, he was grabbed and picked up - this was the first time in his life that he was lifted up by the collar.

It's a novel experience, but to be honest, I didn't think about it carefully in this situation.

He only thought about how he would kill this fierce-looking man with red hair and tattoos.

"You...cousin asked us to come to you." Seeing the boy's apparent disbelief, he added another sentence. "She also asked me to convey that even 'Musashi' can't save you this time."

What kind of awkward name is this?

...It really is a helper invited by my cousin.

But upon hearing the awkward name, Cain fell silent.

And began to recover and think about whether he still had a chance to save it.

He felt that although he was a little impulsive this time and caused a little more trouble, it was not an unsolvable problem after all, so death was not a crime, right?

Seeing that the boy who was still struggling just now became quiet instantly, G raised his eyebrows—it seems that the girl has a good way of making such a child be honest and obedient.

When G catches Cain, other people who act separately also have their own gains.

Giotto finds the children in cages.There are men and women among these dying children, but they all have good looks, and there are various scars on their bodies, and there are traces of being drugged.

He didn't open the cage rashly and let the children go free—letting them run out when the situation outside was not under control would only harm them.

Here he can guarantee the safety of all of them, but if they run away, no one can guarantee the result.

So after all the guards and security thugs were dealt with, he stayed by the cage to look after the children.

"water……"

"it hurts……"

"Pudding... please, give me pudding..."

Hearing the children's painful groans, his expression became more and more serious, and his lips, which were always raised upwards, also collapsed tightly.He has always been an optimistic person, and he has led his relatives and friends out of difficulties countless times and ushered in hope.

But looking at these children now, he can't laugh anyway, and he can't say the comfort of 'everything will be fine'.

Arnold on the other side broke into the room where the meeting was being held.

Questions about how to solve today's problems, how the club will conduct activities in the future, whether it needs to switch to a more secretive small-scale model, and so on.

Although there were some minor problems, it was only the peripheral participants who panicked, and the organizers didn't take it to heart.

In fact, most of them are undertaking work for several clubs. If one is not, there will be another one. If they are not this year, they can be reopened next year.

Anyway, the untouchables are like weeds and rats, which can never be used up.If a dozen people die today, dozens or even hundreds of new untouchables will appear tomorrow.

Even if the domestic ones are not enough, there are still other places—especially people in war-torn areas can get them.In order to survive, they don't care about anything.

"What's your opinion?"

The middle-aged man with gray temples asked the tall man with a mask in the middle while wiping his sweat.He is the host of this 'party'.He cannot escape responsibility for such a mistake.

The man who was questioned was a well-dressed, middle-aged man with half-length hair.The hair that just hangs down to the shoulders is meticulously trimmed, and the tight jawline that looks like the edge of a rock steals a cold breath.

He is the founder of this club.

No one knows who he is, only that the person who can build such a club and such a huge social network must not be an ordinary person.

"Get rid of all the useless things."

His voice was as cold as it seemed.

"I will prepare new venues and toys." He said, his eyes under the mask turned to the man who was sweating nervously. "As for you..."

"Today's mistakes require a person to stand up and bear."

"No, no, please don't give up on me!" The man wailed, and at the same time noticed the eyes of other people looking at him.

Indifferent, with malicious intent—that was the gaze of the abandoned child.

Just like he had looked at others several times before.

"I can still fix it! Please, please give me another chance!"

However, the men surrounded in the middle ignored him, the windbreaker drew a graceful arc, turned and left.

Originally, the purpose of 'gathering' when holding a banquet was to use the banquet to cover up their whereabouts - what could be more natural than meeting everyone at a banquet of the same specification?

This idiot messed up everything, and made them spend a lot of effort to clean up the mess for him. It took a lot of energy and resources just to cover up the scene.

Give him a chance?How can it be.

The others followed the man and prepared to leave.It's interesting to appreciate the distress of the dog in the water, but it's not worth putting yourself in it.As for the men who stayed to take the blame, dare to confess them?

This is nothing to worry about.

They have a lot of ways to make him change his confession, or make people 'suicide in fear of guilt'.

I'm done.

The man knelt on the ground, clearly understanding such a thing.

However, before he could figure out whether there was any other way to escape, he found that one of the people who had just left suddenly flew out.

He raised his head suddenly, and saw a man with short light blond hair wearing a mask standing in front of the secret passage that those people left.

"In the name of imperial law, you are arrested."

His voice was young and indifferent.

"No one can escape."

Clang clang.

The handcuffs on the young man's hand were locked on the wrist of the head 'priest' at some point.

"Do you know who I am?"

"It doesn't matter who you are." The young man indifferently handcuffed another set of handcuffs to the second person, then the third, and then the fourth.

Those who want to escape are knocked out with a punch or kicked away, without mercy.

"No, as long as you let me go, I will personally take you into the social world and help you expand your network and status." One of the middle-aged men with a big belly shouted loudly.

"What do you want? Fame? Money? People? We can give it to you."

They are human beings.Since you are a master, you should enjoy the best things.As long as the network and status are guaranteed not to decline, they can naturally enjoy these resources endlessly.

It can also help others to have these resources.

However, the men with light blond short hair were unmoved and handcuffed them one by one.No matter what he encountered during this period, no matter whether it was a fist or a cane attack, he could not affect him in the slightest.

But after a while, he frowned.

For no other reason

Handcuffs are not enough.

Looking at the uncuffed hands, he was like an obsessive-compulsive disorder who had seen an asymmetrical object, and his whole body exuded a mixture of 'discomfort' and 'annoyance'.

In the end, he had no choice but to suppress Wuminghuo, and pulled out the belts on these people's windbreakers to tie up the rest of them.

It wasn't until everyone was tied up that he reluctantly accepted this imperfect result.

He knew that there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.

You may even be punished for this.

so what?

It was his own business, of course his own decision--it had nothing to do with anything or anyone.

This is undoubtedly an unprecedented feat.What was exposed was even more heinous than the previous congressional bribery case.

Because of the bad mood, the arrest and detention this time did not even go through Scotland Yard, but was directly received by the queen's personal guards.In this way, even if you won't be executed, don't even think about getting away easily.

The opportunity is rare, if they don't let them spit out enough benefits, and don't pull out a layer of their skin, the queen can't justify it.

Even Ah Yuan and Arnold, who were involved, had no way of knowing the subsequent development.

Of course this is only on the surface.

If someone suddenly finds out about the follow-up, the person who knows will definitely become the target of public criticism, or even the target of being attacked, so this is actually a kind of protection for them and the children.

However, protection belongs to protection. It is true that they made trouble this round and caused big trouble.

When he met his cousin Prince Albert again, A Yuan wished he could bury his head in the ground, so as to escape the strange and surprised gaze of the other party as if seeing an alien.

"I never thought you would make such... such a big commotion."

Prince Albert was indeed surprised. He paused for a moment, as if he was choosing words.

An isolated and helpless foreign princess in London—although she has the title of duke, she does not have the corresponding territory and real power.There are also "relatives" who stare at her life unfriendlyly.Normally, she should be trembling and want to integrate into the new social circle, seek more allies and support, so as to protect herself from being persecuted.

Generally, it will look like this.

Those who are even better will not only integrate into the local social circle, but also win over a group of people to build their own team in the shortest possible time, forming a force that can compete with 'relatives'.

Whether it's the former or the latter, Albert has seen quite a few.

Whether it appears in the country or in other countries.

But this is the first time he has seen his cousin like this - he has never even heard of it before.

There are not a few women who can cause trouble, and it is not uncommon for them to cause trouble for a long time.

But participating in a banquet involves hundreds of nobles from all walks of life, and this is the only one that makes the existing power situation turbulent.

And I am afraid that there is no one before, and no one to come after.

"I didn't expect..."

A Yuan spoke weakly.

How did she know that so much would be involved?

It is simply the difference between fishing carp and catching a dragon.

Originally thought that at most a dozen or so perverted nobles would be caught and exposed to ruin their reputation.Who knew that spies from other countries, veteran nobles, and important members of mysterious organizations were also involved?

The circle is so messy.

"That's true."

Albert shook his head.

Although this case that shocked the entire upper class made him and Victoria busy every day, those once fragile balances were almost broken to varying degrees.But also because of this, many impasses that have made them feel difficult or difficult to act have also turned around.

Done right, many places can plug in their own people.

Although the nobles have long been the decision-makers of this country, when times change, more fresh blood that adapts to the new era is always needed to join them.

Only in this way can the empire be healthy and continue to grow stronger.

It's just that this fact is too involved.

Albert looked at his cousin, who had a stiff face but no regrets, and shook his head.

"Although the parties and victims were not announced to the public, the intelligence department suppressed the news as much as possible." He spoke slowly, as if to give her time to react. "But there were only so many people present at the time. If you investigate one by one, you will be found sooner or later."

"Even if there is no way to directly lock on to the real target, you can narrow the scope as much as possible and then act."

Tens of thousands of people are killed or injured in various 'accidents' every year in London.

Down to the whores of the slums, up to the great nobles themselves.

There are always all kinds of accidents happening.

Therefore, in the future, some people in the latter will not find it strange that some people have 'accidents'.

"As long as you are still here, it will be difficult to escape these 'accidents'." Albert did not try to comfort her, but straightforwardly revealed the cruel facts she would face in the future.

"Not only you and Cain, but also Arnold."

"Arnold just followed my orders, he..."

All of a sudden, Ah Yuan stood up.

This matter was an order from her, and Arnold was only an executor at most, and he couldn't be blamed if he wanted to.

"But he is not your personal guard." Albert emphasized the pronunciation of the word 'personal'. "He is an imperial intelligence agent. He can do many things, but it does not include following personal orders or launching operations on his own."

Albert's eyes also turned cold.

He looked directly into A Yuan's eyes without a trace of warmth.

At this time, he is the prince of the empire, the husband of the queen, not a gentle and considerate 'brother'.

Imperial interests above all else.

"……sorry."

A Yuan bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Of course, I didn't feel that I was wrong for exposing this shady scene, but that I shouldn't have involved Arnold.In this way, his future would be ruined by himself.Not only is it as simple as losing your job, but you may even be locked up for the rest of your life, or even...

He should have had a promising future.

"...Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no way at all."

At this moment, Albert changed the subject.

"any solution?"

Ah Yuan raised his head abruptly.

"The situation in Two Sicily is not optimistic recently."

Albert suddenly talked about something in another country.

"Cavour is a capable man. With him, it is an inevitable trend for the Sardinian Kingdom to become prosperous and powerful, but the two Sicilies are different." Albert commented on other countries like chatting, "In contrast, the Sardinian Kingdom Roncesco II was much worse."

At first, A Yuan didn't understand the relationship between the two, let alone how it could be related to the topic they talked about earlier.

Opportunities are beyond words.

But she soon realized one thing.

The Two Sicilies, Kingdom of Sardinia.

This is exactly where Prince Albert had mentioned her before, where her future estate was located.

"what do you mean……"

"Although it is a country that is quite far away from the empire and cannot affect the empire, the intelligence of the empire cannot be missed. Even if it is a tiny place, the empire cannot be ignorant."

Albert's eyes once again fell on the young cousin.

"... go and inherit the property you deserve."

"Land, manor, money... Your future will be on that land." His eyes softened a little, "If you want to return to your hometown again, there will be your irreplaceable backup."

In other words, let yourself go to war-torn areas where even the empire failed to intervene to establish your own power, and avoid the limelight by the way.

The empire failed to intervene smoothly, and other forces may have a hard time there.On the contrary, it is a 'blind spot' that they are also difficult to touch.

But whether you can survive the war and establish your own power depends on yourself.If there is any misfortune in the middle... My cousin and sister-in-law will probably only express their grief and nostalgia at the banquet, and will not take other actions.

Of course, if you get your own grades, it will be another calculation.

A Yuan quickly figured out the relationship between them.

"Then Arnold..."

Albert immediately replied: "The empire will also send intelligence agents there."

understood.

That is to say, I can take Arnold with me and let him change from an obvious intelligence worker to an exotic lurker.In this way, his problem will be solved.

Just the same, if he was really 'unfortunately' sacrificed in a foreign country.The empire would not admit the existence of such an intelligence agent.

Although it looks very cold and serious.

...but that's probably the best ending.

"By the way, you can take the new Earl Harris with you to change your mood." At the end of the conversation, Albert suddenly suggested again, "He just lost his father, and he must be still immersed in grief. A change of mood in other places may not be a good thing.”

"……I see."

This meant letting the culprits of them go out together.

It seems that the future of London is not very peaceful.

So after going back, A Yuan started to prepare.

The houses here don’t need to be sold—in case they come back one day, they can continue to serve as a foothold.The servants don't have to take them away either, they are contract workers, and they probably wouldn't be willing to go all the way with her to a country with frequent wars.

But her salute, as well as the various materials and props purchased frantically during this period, all of these must be taken away.

I have to ask if there are any experts in agronomy who are willing to work there with me.

There are also the high-quality fruit tree saplings I asked before, the quotation list for the factory equipment, and other previous preparations...

No, the important thing is the rescued children and girls...

"Of course I'm going with you."

The injured girl lying on the bed responded naturally.Although her appearance after removing make-up was bright and attractive, she didn't have the dusty atmosphere when she asked Uncle Ayuan Neil if he had a wife.

"Alyssa, isn't that over there..."

"I know, but it won't be worse than here." The girl shrugged her shoulders with difficulty, "My original purpose was to find my brothers and sisters in the orphanage with me, and now I will find everything I can find. Now, it doesn’t make sense for me to stay in this duplicity city.”

"It's better to follow you. Anyway, we won't be hungry if we follow you. I helped work in the orphanage since I was a child. Later, I worked as a maid and a cook. I can do a little work. You don't have to worry that I won't be useful. .”

"I didn't even say..." You are a burden.

"You nobles just like to go around in circles. Isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"

"If you all decide so."

It's not that I haven't raised them.

She had raised all 2 people before, so she wouldn't have to leave dozens of children behind.

Although she planned to find an orphanage to send them there, and then leave a sum of money so that they can be rescued until they can support themselves or be adopted by a kind family. (You can try to ask Arnold's colleagues to investigate this point)

But the same goes for taking it yourself.

A Yuan figured this out, so she stopped being entangled.

She let Alisa and the children decide for themselves, and if she wanted to stay, she sent them to an orphanage and left a sum of money.If you want to go with her, she will take it away and take care of it.

After this issue is finalized, only Giotto and G are left.Although they are not her employees, they have also experienced life and death together as a life-and-death friendship.Seeing them leaving early and returning late every day, there must be some important things that have not been completed.

Before she left, if there was anything she could do to help, she could use the strength of the Harris family to help.

—provided that what they are going to do is within the scope of reasonable requests.

However, the answer given by Giotto made her eyes widen again.

After listening to A Yuan's explanation, Giotto said without hesitation for a second: "The box."

"The purpose of our visit this time is to find a wooden box."

The author has something to say: I have given up on whether to talk about health or happiness in the Dragon Boat Festival, but I know that Jia Geng Happiness is right! (chest out)

A Yuan (after a long time): I suddenly felt that the reason why Arnold is a cloud attribute is probably because he felt that the handcuffs were not enough, so he wanted to 'proliferate? '

About the description of obsessive-compulsive disorder (?) I asked a little friend with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder-she said that she would be inexplicably angry when she saw things that were placed in the wrong place or messy and asymmetrical.But it's not enough to say I'm angry, I'm just very annoyed. (I used this first)

In sister Yuko's words, this is the so-called 'no coincidence, only necessity'.
