"Your Highness, Fourth Prince, what are you thinking? How could it be possible for a child of our royal family to marry you, let alone Earl Shirley is an independent earl with actual territory."

Just kidding, do you really think that the nobles are all idiots? Shirley has shown top-notch combat power this time. Marry you?When the time comes to take her guards to the St. Lideman Empire, you are thinking about eating.

"That's right, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, no matter what, Earl Shirley is also the independent Earl of our Fafnir Empire. It is absolutely impossible to get married. According to the rules, Earl Shirley wants to recruit Xu, not get married. .”

This sentence is to dispel the thoughts of the fourth prince. It is very rare for a prince of an empire to fall into the family of an earl of another empire, and it even loses the prestige of the empire. Li, as an independent earl, needs to decide on her own marriage. After all, she has to marry, not get married, so the royal family should not stretch their hands too far.

Of course, the most important thing is to remind other nobles that the little earl is now a favorite, and everyone competes equally, each according to his own ability.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 39

The sun was shining, and a slight wind was blowing. Shirley, who was standing by the window, stretched her waist a lot, and a lovely "um~~~" sound came out from her pink lips.

"Miss, here are the clothes for you. You may have to work harder today."

"Huh? I remember we agreed with Elder Sister Adalia last night. Today, we are going to visit her manor outside the city. How can I prepare such cumbersome and difficult-to-move clothes for me?"

Seeing the luxurious aristocratic clothes that Fuya prepared for her, Shirley was at a loss. This is different from what was agreed yesterday.

"Miss, don't say that you can't go out today. It is estimated that in the future, it is very unlikely that you will go out until the celebration."

Fuya could only sigh that her own lady didn't understand until now. In fact, she didn't think about it yesterday. She didn't realize it until today when the nobles arrived.

For those nobles, the fighting power that my lady showed yesterday is a favorite. How could she leave the lady outside without taking any action?

Shirley, who was blinking, looked at Fuya curiously. What she said made her even more confused. She didn't understand what happened to prevent her from going out.

"Is the kingdom behind the ninth step I beat up yesterday coming to block the door?"

"God... the nobles attracted by your force blocked the door." Returning the kingdom blocked the door, and the kingdom would not block her, but blocked the door of the imperial city.Now, many nobles come here, especially the nominal earls of the imperial capital, and there are endless streams of people coming here.

When the lady entered the door before, this group of people made things difficult for her. Before yesterday, they didn't even pay attention to the lady. As a result, after the battle yesterday, this group of nobles came to the princess's mansion early in the morning to ask for help. Visit Miss.

Fuya sneered in her heart, this group of people used the words of the young lady to call them drunkards, they didn't mean to drink, they said they were visiting, you see how many of them are female relatives, they are all young boys who are about the same age as the young lady , oh, there are some younger noble children joining in the fun, bah, a bunch of stinky and shameless people.

"Aristocrats? Why did the nobles come to block my door in the early morning? Did I eat their rice or steal their daughter... Cough cough, what's the matter, why did they come to block my door."

"I want my child to join your Phoenix family."

"What's the matter? Come to join our family? What are these people thinking in their minds, and they have already figured it out."

Shirley was numb, it was good to stay at home by herself, and then suddenly a lot of people came out and told her that they wanted to marry into her home, why didn't they fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

"Everyone is thinking of Tao Zi, and they are still married. Didn't Elder Sister Adalia drive them away?"

According to Shirley's thinking, this kind of thing can be solved by Adalia, why didn't she drive people away.

Xueli's doubts were quickly resolved by Fuya, "It's not that Her Highness the Princess doesn't want to help, but that there are too many of them. The nobles waiting for you in the living room are all powerful factions in the imperial capital. Even Her Highness the Princess doesn't want to help you." Dare to provoke at will."

After thinking about it, yes, although Adalia is a princess, there are many things that cannot be done for those big nobles. She should already thank her for being able to stop most of the nobles.

There's no way, and I can't always trouble Adalia here, Shirley can only put on her own clothes with Fuya's help, walk out of the room, and head to the hall.

"Xue Li is still resting. She was really tired yesterday, and she got up late today. I hope the dukes can stay calm."

"Haha, Shirley is a hero of our empire, it's okay to sleep a little longer, it's nothing, Your Royal Highness, taking advantage of this time, can we ask more about Earl Shirley's deeds, personality and so on, children, we I'm also worried about making her unhappy when we talk for a while."

Humble?No, this is not humbleness, but deliberately showing weakness to extract information about Shirley from Adalia's mouth. As long as she opens her mouth, they will know Shirley's preferences, her usual hobbies, and daily routines.This is very important information for courting girls.

However, Adalia would be so stupid to be tricked by them?There was an impeccable smile on the corners of her lips, and she sat gently on the sofa, "It's been several years since Shirley left the capital, and I don't know many things about her very well, why don't you ask her when she comes."

Ask her, isn't that even more insincere, how can you pursue it if the other party sees it through at a glance.The nobleman glanced at the little boys he had brought aside. They were all dressed in gorgeous coats. Although they looked good, they might not be able to catch the boy's eyes.

"Sister Adalia, why are there so many guests here today? Is there anything to do? If you are busy, I will go out by myself first."

"Ah, yesterday we agreed to go to my small manor outside the city together. You see, I have completely forgotten about it. I really shouldn't."

This chorus was already an order to evict guests, but the nobles did not give it for free. At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in very gorgeous clothes stood up and saluted Shirley.

"Count Shirley, if you are interested in the manor, I have a vineyard outside the city, which not only grows grapes, but also has a special winery. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you and Her Royal Highness go."

"Eh? What is that vineyard of yours? We all know the small manor of Her Royal Highness, most of which are grown in food. If Miss Shirley likes to look at the farmland, I have a farm outside the city, and you can also play in it." .”

"What kind of farmland, what is there to see there, it is not as good as mine, Miss Shirley, my farm outside the city has been transformed into a garden by me, and a lot of flower seeds have been planted in it, and now it is blooming Sometimes, it would be a beautiful thing to go there while enjoying refreshments.”

"And I..."

Shirley looked at these nobles scrambling to introduce her manor speechlessly. For a while, she didn't understand what kind of medicine these people were selling in their gourds. Let them be so flocked to.

"Miss Shirley, which manor do you want to go to?"

I don't know who said such a sentence, which also interrupted the introduction of all the nobles at this time. Their eyes returned to Shirley, expecting her answer.

"Huh? Of course I still want to go to Sister Adalia's manor. I'm not familiar with your place. What are you going to do there?"

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 40 Banquet

How annoying these few days are, Shirley has finally seen how annoying those nobles are. She obviously rejected each other so clearly, but she still sticks to her like brown sugar.

I don't even look at what kind of games they brought, Wenqi Yujian, who knows everything, and is proficient in eating, drinking and playing, so I have the nerve to pull it in front of her.

And let her listen to the bullshit poems written by these little P kids?What bird is calling, I get up, pee first when I get up on the bed, this Nima and her previous life shocked people with a message in the middle of the night to a friend, the content of the message is - it is midnight, it's time to get up and pee.What's the difference.

If it weren't for the sake of her own princess sister, she would have thrown out three hundred Tang poems to crush them. Well, if she thinks the ancient poems of the flower planters are too bullying, she can use other famous quotes such as Goethe Make up the numbers, anyway, it is better than the doggerel written by these little P kids.

In the end, she had no choice but to close the door to thank the guests. In the past few days, she and the princess competed in marksmanship in the mansion, and read novels by the way.

However, an invitation suddenly caused some turmoil in the originally peaceful life. It was an invitation, which Shirley had no interest in at first, but the content of the invitation made her unable to pay attention to it.

"Today there is a big show to encircle and suppress the Flying Pirate Black Butterfly. I hope Miss Shirley can appreciate it."

Hei Die was also the flying thief who left information in Shirley's room before the orcs went south. Who would have thought that her whereabouts would be discovered?This made Shirley frown. She was very displeased with those nobles, but she was still very interested in this grand thief.

At the beginning, because of his attitude towards her, Antrus had an argument with himself, but in her eyes, such a person must not be a bad person, even if her actions may be lacking.

"Hei Die? This is the thief, I don't think those nobles can find Hei Die's whereabouts."

For the rumored thief, Princess Adalia didn't have much affection. After all, in terms of her class, this black butterfly was just a thief.Even if she did too many things, she still wouldn't conceal her identity as a thief.

"They want me to go and take part, should I go and have a look?"

"Didn't you already have the answer?" Smiling and looking at the little girl in front of her who seemed to be embarrassed, Adalia had already seen her decision in her eyes.

"Hey, I still can't hide it from my sister."

The little girl who was scratching her head with a dry smile, although the aristocratic temperament was gone, gave people a cute and naive look, which made people feel even more cute.

He couldn't help but raised his hand, made a behavior that didn't fit the temperament of a princess, and pinched Shirley's fleshy little face.

"Don't do anything that shouldn't be done. In the eyes of the nobles, Black Butterfly is an unforgivable criminal."

But in my eyes, she is a respectable grand rogue. This time, I will go to watch the excitement. According to the normal development of the plot, those nobles will be teased again.

Just as described in the novel, those nobles will be played by a black butterfly, and in the end they can only watch the other party leave, but there is nothing they can do.

Well, she admitted that the reason she went this time was to watch this plot. She used to read it in novels. This time, she finally had the opportunity to watch the play up close. How could she not go?She even thought about it, and when Heidi leaves, she can also complain in an arrogant tone, "Is this what you want me to see?"

Thinking about it made me feel emotional, so Shirley decided to go to the appointment, mock these so-called nobles, and take revenge for bothering her these days.

Adalia, who had seen Xueli's thoughts at this time, just pinched her cheek slightly, but she didn't have too many thoughts about that black butterfly. After all, in the imperial capital, as long as those nobles really want to To deal with her, according to their background, it is really not difficult to take down the so-called Black Butterfly Snitch.

Why didn't they do it before? It wasn't because these black butterflies rarely appeared in the imperial capital, and they didn't really offend the bottom line of those big nobles, so they just turned a blind eye.

"Hey, I'll get ready first, and then I'll set off with Fuya, Sister Adalia, are you really not going with me?"

Adalia smiled and shook her head. As a princess, it is best not to participate in such occasions. After all, that black butterfly is very prestigious in the eyes of the people. If she participates in the action of arresting her, the people may misunderstand her.

Seeing Adalia gently shaking her head, Shirley didn't continue to ask further questions. After saying goodbye to Adalia, she called Fuya and prepared to attend the so-called banquet held by the nobles.

########################

At night, in the duke's mansion of a luxurious imperial capital, an elderly man was leading a young boy at the door, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

"That is the Duke of Belize in the imperial capital. Their family has been the head of the royal family and the head of government affairs for generations. Other members of the family also serve in various important departments of the empire."

Just got off the carriage, saw the old man waiting at the door, Fuya whispered in Shirley's ear to introduce the nobleman at the door.

"This is equivalent to Antruth in Aalborg, but his power is much higher than Uncle Antruth. I don't know if he is an easy person to deal with."

"Aha, Earl Shirley, when you were still living in the royal family, you were still a little one, and now you have grown up so much."

Xueli was a little surprised by what she said, but thinking that he was once the head of the royal family, it was not impossible to say that he had seen her in the imperial city.

"Duke of Belize, Gui'an. It's been a few years, and I should grow up."

Wei Wei performed the etiquette of a noble lady, this is a junior saluting to an elder, after all the age is at this level, and the other party has not clearly shown any hostility, so she has no reason to fall out with him here.

"Boy, look at Earl Shirley, she has already used her ability to conquer a large territory at a young age, you should learn from her in the future."

She never thought that she would become someone else's child, and Xue Li looked at this stubborn little boy who was reprimanded by her parents with some surprise.

Well, it's not too small for her, she's half a head taller than herself.In terms of age, he should be one or two years older than her, of course, he is not an adult.

"Your Excellency, my matter is here, it's not a good place to talk about it."

"Oh, look at me. I'm getting older, but my brain is slow. Come on, I'll take you to the mansion. There are a lot of delicacies from the imperial capital prepared for you."

"Oh? Then I have to look forward to it."

The two talked to each other, but they didn't say the purpose of this time. Instead, they talked about their respective opinions in various fields.One is rich in experience and the other is rich in theory.Everyone has gained a lot from the mouth of the other party.

"Yo...look who I saw coming, isn't this girl Shirley, hahaha." As soon as he walked into the banquet hall of the nobles, he heard a heroic laughter coming from one side, the strong Earl Wood came to Shirley and the others from one side.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 41 Black Butterfly Infestation

At night, the luxurious mansion was brightly lit, and a black shadow quickly passed by in the blind spot where the guards' vision interlaced.

"Sure enough, this is what a nobleman should look like. That Earl named Shirley is no nobleman. She is more compassionate than a charitable businessman. I really don't know how she became a nobleman."

Rias, who was hiding in the dark, was originally supposed to be in Aalborg, but Shirley has decided to transfer her residence to the Earl of Ordos, and there has been intensive progress under the command of Antrus. moving.

Seeing that there was nothing else she wanted to see, she planned to leave from the northern border, because the founding ceremony was about to come, so she thought about playing a big game this time, and when so many envoys from other countries were present, she planned to leave the imperial capital. The nobles also stole some things.This can not only make those nobles lose face, but also alleviate the hardships caused by the rise in prices in the imperial capital due to the celebration.

She didn't want to show the earl named Shirley what the nobles should react to. When she ran to her room to release the letter, she didn't respond at all, and she didn't even have any intention of tracing. Is it the reaction a nobleman should have?

"Sure enough, as he said, there will be a banquet here today, which is a good opportunity to take away that magic ring."

This is the information she got from an intelligence agent. She has cooperated with this person many times and is a trustworthy person. This time, she placed the target at the home of the Duke of Belize. The target is that A legendary ring that allows people to use magic infinitely.

Carefully walk through the labyrinth-like garden behind the mansion, and move little by little towards the huge and luxurious mansion located in the center of the courtyard.

"Be careful, there are a lot of nobles coming here to attend the banquet today. My lord asked us to ensure the safety of the guests and the normal holding of the banquet."

The guards with spears and the comrades around him passed by the garden, talking about the situation tonight.

"It's more than that. It is said that the Duke specially invited that Miss Shirley today."

"Miss Shirley, is that the talented girl who was already the top expert at a young age? It is said that she killed all directions in the arena before and stunned those foreign envoys."

Speaking of Shirley, the guards on the side were excited. After all, a top existence has greatly improved the morale of the country.Especially for these soldiers, the appearance of a tenth rank is an advantage on the battlefield.It is also a guarantee of victory on the battlefield.

"Earl Shirley is here, and the two guards beside her have to come with her. Think about it, we are going to gather three tenth ranks here, and that is the tenth rank..."

"Okay, can you stop being so excited, even if it's the tenth level, you can't see it, so obediently inspect it with me obediently."

In the shadows, watching the two guards drifting away, Lias listened to the conversation of the two guards, but there was a smile on her face. "That Earl Shirley is also here. It just so happens that this time, she will also see the ugliness of these nobles."

Continuing to bend down, she walked towards the mansion. According to the information that person gave her, the ring was placed in the secret room of the old Duke's room. Now that everyone's attention is on the banquet, she wants to hurry up. Make a quick decision and take the ring out of the secret room.

"Unexpectedly, the famous black butterfly on the mainland is actually a woman. It's really surprising."

The sound came from a corner not far away, which instantly sent a chill down Lias' spine. Instead of turning around to look at the source of the sound, she rushed forward immediately and entered the darkness with rapid movement.

But at this time, there were no dark places anymore, and the torches or magic lamps that had been prepared rose in the corners.

"Did you get caught?" If Rias didn't know what she had encountered, she would really do it for nothing.But she didn't understand why her actions were exposed.

"Ahem, Miss Black Butterfly, are you curious why you were discovered?" The Duke of Belize walked out of the luxurious house at this time, and behind her was the man she was familiar with. little girl.He is also the most popular little earl recently.

"Xue Li, what's the matter, I'm right, I said I will take Heidie, but I can take it."

The smiling eyes seem to be showing off, because everyone knows that Shirley's room was also invaded by this black butterfly back then, using it as a bridge for the two to get closer, this is the best way he thought of to pave the way for his grandson.

I really didn't think of it, but why do I feel familiar?Looking at the terrified woman in front of her, Xue Li felt as if she had seen her before.

"Take me down? Are you thinking too highly of yourself?"

After the initial panic, Lias came out with a smile. As an experienced flying thief, she encountered countless dangers, and this time it was just the most dangerous.
