"calm!"

Elena looked at Joel excitedly. She raised her hand high and spread her palms to signal Joel to "calm down".

What Joel holds in her hands is the family emblem that symbolizes her identity as the Tobias family. She only needs to hang it high on the carriage and she can travel smoothly.

Tobias Travel. It uses rare materials but not hard materials.

Joel was so eager to make money that he had to take off the gems inlaid on the family crest.

Is a family crest without the dragon head still considered a family crest?

Elena is sure that if she dares to hang on the carriage, someone will dare to attack Duke Tobias Ridge, impersonate the identity of the Tobias family, and still be so unqualified, isn't this asking for a beating?

"Can't button it! Give it to me..."

"This is not good." Joel said seriously.

Not very good? Your behavior is not very good! Elena resisted the urge to go crazy.

"Without this, it would be difficult to go to Palenque."

"It's like this... What a pity..." Joel handed the badge in his hand to Elena and sighed, "But I have already taken it off... After repairing it, it should be fine.

.”

Looking at the cracked family crest, Elena's face suddenly stiffened.

As the dragon head gem was pulled out, the winter tree pattern carved out of the textured stone broke apart from the middle of the tree.

"...Pack up and set off." Joel threw the valueless badge to Elena and ordered.

"How...how to get there?"

The interrogation of carriages is a very common thing. Only those who have the family crest of a great noble can avoid the interrogation of the guards, but now the family emblem has been destroyed.

"It's a troublesome thing, but how can it be so clever like Joel?"

Joel patted his belly and promised, "Leave it to me."

Elena nodded lightly, but in the future, when he truly understood what Joel said, she regretted it.

A palace in Palenque.

This is a resting place for a viscount. Compared to most viscount palaces, it looks more like it was built by an earl or even a marquis, because it shows different financial resources than the viscount.

But once I thought that this was the palace of Viscount Conil, everything was solved.

Viscount Conil is the nephew of Duke Tobias and the second son of the Nagtana family.

The head of the Nagtana family gave birth to this son when he was already in middle age, so he naturally doted on him very much. But Conil was different from other people of the same age who used their parents' favor to fight for the right to inherit.

He gave up the idea of ​​competing for the heir with his eldest brother early and took the initiative to leave the territory and came to Duke Tobias Ridge. Due to his actions, his father, Marquis Nagtana, had no choice but to ask Tobias

The Grand Duke allotted him a piece of his territory and granted him the status of Viscount.

His eldest brother was also grateful for his younger brother's concession. After inheriting the title of Marquis of Nagtana, he also expressed his love for his younger brother.

His aunt, the Duchess Tobias, also publicly expressed her appreciation. Some even said that it was under the influence of his wife that Grand Duke Tobias opened his eyes to Conil's behavior in Palenque.

Close one eye, otherwise no noble would dare to act recklessly in this city.

If Grand Duke Tobias is really the kind of person who doesn't care, his son will not be seen wandering around in the city. Unlike other nobles who let the people know their children early, now E. Palenque, and even the entire Tobias

The tens of millions of citizens in the Duke of Ers Ridge still don’t know the name of the heir of Archduke Tobias or what he looks like.

Viscount Cornier is such a doting person, and now he has his own wife.

At this moment, Viscount Cornier was sitting on the bedside, quietly admiring his wife Angela.

He is a devout believer.

It is written in the doctrine that "God said to be humble", so he made the greatest humility he could and completely gave up his rights as heir.

And he got a lot.

Several chance encounters with Angela convinced him that this was fate.

So he asked to marry Angela, and he got it easily. Although she didn't agree at the beginning, women can't help but grind it out. It was just a few simple and elegant "little dramas"

The strategy opened up her iron wall. But after getting married, he felt that there was no sense of "excitement" anymore, and he didn't gain anything. Everything was calm.

Also, what can a little run-down baron bring to him?

God probably wouldn't care about me cheating... Viscount Conil thought.

The wind was a bit strong, and there was a blowing sound outside the window.

Conil's eyes were attracted by the sound. The shadows of the trees outside the palace were swaying against the crystal tiles under the light of the magic lamp.

But suddenly a shadow that was completely different from the shadow of the tree appeared. It was more like the shadow of a knight. Was someone visiting late at night? Cornier stopped thinking like a joke, because he noticed that there were more shadows in the shadow.

There was a shadow of a sword blade, and the long blade in the light hit his neck.

"Guards!..Guards!"

Conil reacted and shouted hurriedly.

Angela was woken up by the sound, and she saw her husband Conil falling to the ground in a panic because of his hasty escape.

She was still dazed and had not yet woken up from her sleep.

The guard who hurried over after hearing the sound opened the door.

But nothing happened in the room. There were only Viscount Cornier lying on the floor, and the Viscountess, who had hurriedly covered her body with a quilt and was still a little exposed.

"What happened? Viscount Conil." the captain of the guard asked.

"There's...someone..." Conil pointed at the shadow on the ground just now, but when he came back to his senses, the shadow had disappeared.

"Did you see it wrong...?" the captain of the guard tried to say.

Because the guards outside the window have also gathered around, if there is really someone, it is impossible not to notice it. Judging from the situation at the scene, it is more likely that he had a nightmare. If it were a subordinate, he would have already scolded him at this moment.

But facing Viscount Conil, he really didn't have the courage.

"..I read it right." Conil said firmly, "You all, stay here!"

"Stay here...?" The captain of the guard's eyes moved slightly to the exposed Angela, and then immediately looked back, "Isn't it inappropriate..."

Angela also showed a look of shame and anger. She could feel the "want to look but dare not look" charm of the guards around her, but the feeling of being eaten alive in her eyes would not disappear.

She turned to Conil for help, but Conil, who was always considerate, ignored her.

Conil looked at the captain of the guard angrily. His life was of course the most important thing at this time.

"There's nothing inappropriate. Just stay here... until dawn! By the way, cut down the tree for me. I'm so scared to see the shadow. And blow the whistle for me!"

"Whistle?... It's not appropriate." The captain of the guard said bravely. Even though he knew that Conil was angry, the whistle was too exaggerated because of a nightmare.

Whistle blowing is a power granted by Duke Tobias to the nobles living here. When they are attacked by assassins, the nobles can call the guards of E. Palenque over by blowing the whistle.

Conil was so angry that he kicked the captain of the guard hard. However, due to the difference in physique and strength between the two, it was Conil who fell to the ground.
