Duke's Wife

Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Depressed Town Clerk



Time can change everything, all of it, can be left to time. For example, the current Jace was quite annoyed. It had only just been three days since he had left, but, to really count, the changes after he came back these three days were just too great.

  First of all, his own reputation in the middle of this Darkmoon City could be said to be poor to the level of a rat. Then ... I don t know what happened, those alliance families that were originally better with themselves suddenly seemed to look at themselves as if they were traitors.

  The most annoying thing is that now ... this Grand Duke His Excellency even wants to feast on himself. Wasn't this plainly, looking at a joke?

  Fists pinched tightly, glanced at this right-hand man beside him and said, 'Prepare the carriage, go to the palace immediately!'

Fowles at his side was slightly stunned, for the first time, seeing his master actually this angry. However, he could only pretend to be fine. This kind of situation, how long has it been since I saw it.

  It seemed that there had been that one time when it was still in the imperial capital.

But ... in such a small city, it is surprising that ... once again such a situation has arisen! It seems that this Duke's Excellency is also not just a woman. Perhaps, it might be an existence like the Moon Demon Realm Empress.

The carriage quickly passed through the city and arrived in the most central palace. However, while walking through the streets, the residential area, Jace could not stand it somewhat and almost burst out his killing intent.

  That whispering voice always reached his ears. This is not enough ... the most detestable is, even said himself, even pulled the daughter of the Demon Beast King to cause the Dark Moon City now once a year beast tide.

  'Is this ... possible?' Not to mention Jace, even beside him Fowles looked at Jace with a strange expression. After all, such a situation seemed to be really somewhat reasonable if one really said it.

  Ever since the master had arrived, there had been a constant tide of beasts. Moreover, every time the master was not in this place. In this way ... there is also an obvious reason why it shouldn't appear.

  'Falls, do you think that this time the Duke called me to go, could it be related to this matter?' Jace's icy cold eyes drifted over, making Fowles' entire body seem to shudder. As the wise man under Jace, Fowles frowned and thought about the causes and consequences.

  Deep eyes flew to the outside of the carriage, which was counted to be a few notches better than even the Duke's house. Of course, it also represented Jace's identity at the same time. The Chancellor of the Dark Empire, the eldest son in the Brans family.

  It can be said that in the future, getting that position is absolute.

  Then ... why these civilians still don't know how to die to offend their own family master?

  'There is only one reason, this matter is definitely provoked by the Duke Lord. And ... those rumours, perhaps they were all started by her. This time ... to be honest, I'm not sure what kind of purpose the Duke Lord has!' Fowles sighed slightly, it seemed that, although the previous Lord Duke was somewhat unfathomable. But it wasn't as powerful as this!

  Jace froze, and after thinking back and forth, it really was the same thing. After a slight nod, his eyes narrowed. The original handsome face, at this time is even more abnormal hideous: 'Hum ... is what I do so what? Hey, the family has already arranged good people over here! Perhaps, soon, this place is just a piece of rubble. Coming here is also just to take refuge. Last time, that kid did too good a job. Not a drop of water in the bucket. Almost got hit. Hmph, I don't know what father was thinking. To let that brat go to a place like Fuzzy Earth City!'

  Fowles was shocked in his heart, not knowing if this master really trusted himself, or if he had leaked some secrets due to his sudden anger. With a turn in his heart, he looked towards the outside of the carriage. For a moment, Jace also seemed to understand where he was inappropriate and coughed before turning to look outside the carriage.

  Dark Moon City was not big, the carriage was but a quarter of an hour world, and had already arrived at the entrance of the so-called palace. Jace got off the carriage, a gloomy colour on his face had already been covered up by now. Smilingly looked at the doorway to come out to greet Lundy, said, 'Today how Lundy captain personally came out to meet, en ... don't know, the Duke Lord has what summoned under me!'

  'When you go in, you will know!' Lundy was not overbearing, and after a faint sentence he turned and led the way in.

  Jace and Fowles exchanged a glance before snorting coldly and turning to walk into the palace.

  In fact, as far as this palace was concerned, it was still quite large. The square where one went in, one could gather an army of at least tens of thousands of people. Only, I don't know if it was due to the fact that it had fallen into disrepair or something else, but anyway, the palace looked extremely dilapidated.

  After passing through the square, as well as the houses in the front row, one came to the garden of the palace. At this time, it was still just entering the spring of the Magic Realm. Of course, in fact, spring in the Magic Realm just doesn't snow. It was still as cold as ever! And, because there was no more snow and wind. But the coldness of the weather coupled with the dampness of spring, instead, it seemed extraordinarily chilly.

  Inside the garden, the stream had just returned to spring, so from the sound of it, it was still only flowing in small strands. In the garden, a long table filled with food. At this moment, the Duke, the Lord, was sitting at the head of the table.

  On the left hand side of the Duke, sitting, surprisingly, was Her Highness the Princess. This is to make Jace a little puzzled, these two deadly rivals, but it is only right that they quarrel when they meet. What is this ... situation now?

  Not to mention Jace, even Fowles was a bit dazed. Even, forgetting such an important thing as meeting the courtesy.

  The Duke Lord obviously also saw it, coldly grunted and glanced at Fowles before saying, ''How is it that all of the city officials are so impolite nowadays? Surprisingly, they don't even salute when they see this Duke!'

Her Highness laughed delicately, ''Lord City Magistrate must have seen Sister's flowery face and froze. You say ... it is not so! Heh heh ...'

  The voice that sounded like a petulant voice made Jace immediately react. After coughing his throat, he turned and smiled, 'Of course, to think that such stunning colours as the Duke's and the Princess's are really fascinating! Oh ... city official Jace, meet Lord Duke, meet Your Highness the Princess!'

  Jace's eyes snapped open the moment he knelt down. In his heart, he thought: one day, I will make you two beg for mercy at my crotch. Hmph ... Even in the imperial capital, when I entered the palace to see His Majesty, I had never knelt.

  Fowles, who followed Jace, also knelt down in a hurry to greet him.

  Duke Hia nodded slightly and turned towards the other side of the garden. At this moment, two people slowly walked at the end of the garden's corridor. A large one and a small one, a youth and a child. The youth was dressed in an earthy looking, but dark coloured robe. The little girl, on the other hand, was dressed adorably.

  Two pigtails facing the sky, plus a face that was so delicate that it could be compared to Divine Providence. As long as it was a woman, as soon as she saw it, the absolute childish motherly love flooded the ground.

  Jess and Fowles glanced at each other, a little puzzled as to what, exactly, the Duke-sama was doing all of this for. Now, what exactly is the purpose of inviting such two people who have never seen, and at the same time, are definitely not strong forces over ...? 

  'Lord Duke, Your Highness.' The people who came, of course, were Lin Peng as well as the little loli Angelina. After coming forward, the two kneeled down and saluted. However, Lin Peng was extraordinarily reluctant as he knelt down.

  In the previous world, there was no such thing. Moreover, Lin Peng had always believed that there was gold under a man's knees, and that one should never kneel down easily. Moreover, the ones who were kneeling now, were actually two women.

  Granted, it was only one knee, but that had to be used when proposing.

  The two of them, Xi Ya and Erin, glanced at each other, and immediately, after Princess Erin smiled faintly, she said: ''All sit down. Oh ... there's nothing much going on today, it's just that my sister suddenly said that she's made up with me, so I've asked the Jace City Affairs Officer to come and be a witness. Together, have a meal! As for this ...'

  'My personal royal staff officer!' Xiya didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Jace and said bluntly.

  Jace had just sat down when his heart jerked up. At the same time, looking towards Falls. Wanting to seek his opinion to see if it was possible that it could be this person who could be behind this.

  The focus of Fowles' eyes were all on Lin Peng's body. A head of black hair, a pair of black eyes, in such a situation, it was surprisingly extraordinarily demonic. Especially when Fowles looked at Lin Peng, it gave him the feeling that he was being sunk deeper into it.

  As for Lin Peng, at this moment, he was also smiling as he looked towards Fowles. Both of them had a hint of calmness in their smiles.

  'Long time no see, long time no see, when I was in the imperial capital, I've heard of Fowles' great name. Oh ... also thanks to Lord Fowles' report. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent more manpower to the city walls for defence in such a timely manner. If we were to be attacked by this wave of beast tide, then ... huh ... the consequences would be unimaginable!'

  Lin Peng's expression looked like it was really something like that in general. Xiya and Erin were first stunned, and then they also thanked Fowles. This time, Fowles' face turned green. Jace, who was next to him, looked at Fowles suspiciously.

  'This, it's just a part of the job. Heh ... heh ...' Fowles smiled faintly, then shot a wink towards Jace. At the same time, a glint of essence flashed out from within his eyes. The eyes that looked towards Lin Peng were even more indignant.

  This guy, was definitely someone who provoked other clans to make enemies of their masters. At the same time ... such a person, how come I haven't seen him in Dark Moon City before?

  A meal that was eaten was very hypocritical. Up and down, there was a conciliatory smile. Of course, this smile would have to remove Duke Hia. Such an iceberg beauty, it was really not simple to make her smile.

  When Jess and Fowles got on the carriage and left, Irene couldn't help but laugh out loud once again, ''Ah! Heh! Heh ... you brat, you're really sinister. Just now, the expression on Jess's face when he looked at Fowles was really when odd.'

  For her part, Shiya gave Lin Peng one more look of gratitude.

'It's nothing, with that Fowles' ability, it shouldn't be much of a big deal. En ... next, is to put out the news, just say, this Jace city affairs officer came to the palace to eat, and also have a laugh. En ... believe that the guards here, there are many of them are the eyes of other families. Don t rush to say it first, let those people figure out how to convey it themselves. Of course, this is also a good opportunity to eradicate the secret agents in this palace! Hehehe ... below, it is the method of sending people to the abyss that is enabled. En... course, the people you send out, must be stable. Moreover, the strength must be strong!'

  Xiya and Eileen nodded at the same time, and amidst their smiles, the way they looked at Lin Peng became even more somewhat odd. Such a person, no matter where he was, should be quite a famous person. Why ... hadn't heard of it all this time!
