Chapter 3394 Return to the City
Earl Miran is really angry. You, a small businessman, don't give him any face at all. What do you rely on?
In the end, I didn't expect that the other party really relied on me.
Yes, Lucy quickly moved out her patron, the appointment letter from Prime Minister Tyrard, indicating that she was no longer an ordinary businessman, but the vice president of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.
Although Count Miran had not paid much attention to this matter, he had heard about it. It's just that the Royal Chamber of Commerce is still in the formation stage, and it doesn't even hold a position in the court. It is not considered a formal organization. In fact, Count Miran does not know what the Royal Chamber of Commerce does.
Obviously, Lucy's method can be used to frighten the captain of the city guard like Duman, but it is obvious that she cannot frighten Count Miran.
He knew that Lucy was definitely trying to show off her power. If something really happened, would Tyrad punish him, a noble, because of you, a little businessman?
Moreover, he was no longer an ordinary nobleman. Tyrad obviously knew about the lottery, so how could he come to him at this time?
But even so, he couldn't openly cause trouble to Tyrad. Now that they have moved out of Tyrade, the prime minister's face must be preserved, and the prime minister cannot be slapped in the face.
So Count Miran openly let Lucy go back. In fact, as soon as the other party left, he directly asked his men to capture her.
The difference between doing this is a matter of face for Tyradh. After all, this appointment letter was issued by Tyrade. Although he is just a businessman, if you detain the person openly, it will be a loss of face for Tyrade.
But if you arrest someone in private, it doesn't matter even if everyone knows that you arrested the person. Since Tyradh won't pursue, there's room for maneuver here.
He was very sure that Tyradh would never pursue this matter, thinking that he, Count Miran, was about to become a popular figure in the empire's political arena, and no one would cause trouble for him at this time. As for Tyrard, how could he stand up for a businessman? If he said he didn't know about it, no one would care about it.
Lucy obviously didn't expect Count Miran to be so rampant. Although she prepared the music box, Lucy obviously didn't know what the music box was for. How could she, a small businessman, get the news about this kind of thing?
So when she was attacked, Lucy obviously hadn't reacted yet.
The Earl's men are naturally not comparable to the few guards from the Chamber of Commerce. It was also the few guards here who were quite loyal and protected Lucy all the way out. Except for the old housekeeper who drove him, the other guards were killed almost instantly.
The old housekeeper was obviously seriously injured, and Lucy was also stunned by the sudden change, and no one could react for a while.
It was obvious that she had had too few interactions with nobles before, and she never expected that these people would come like this. This was in the Imperial City, and the other party actually dared to kill people in the street, with absolutely no scruples.
If she had known this situation earlier, she would obviously not have come so recklessly to see people. Of course, it was too late to say anything at this time. Now her mind is blank.
The old housekeeper who was driving could no longer bear it anymore. He was bleeding too much and was about to lose consciousness. The carriage bumped everywhere, and the things placed on the street were affected. Fortunately, the road he ran on was relatively straight, otherwise the carriage would have overturned.
"Who is it, stop the car!" At this moment, a voice sounded from the front.
The old butler who was driving did hear it, but at this time he had almost lost consciousness. He couldn't raise his head, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him or who asked him to stop.
It was obvious that the carriage had no intention of stopping and continued to move forward. Then there was a loud "bang", and Lucy in the car was completely unprepared. Along with a giant force, the man was thrown out, directly hitting the roof of the car and flying into the air.
Severe pain came, and Lucy didn't know what happened, she felt like she was flying in the air. Just when she thought she was about to die, a strong chest suddenly pressed against her, and soon she felt like she was being hugged by someone, like a princess.
The strange smell quickly entered her nasal cavity. She was very sure that the person hugging her was a man. However, she was already dizzy at this time. She couldn't calm down and couldn't see who the person was hugging her.
"Sir!" "Sir!" She could only hear many people around her shouting in her direction, probably calling the man hugging her.
"Someone is coming." At this time, she heard the man's voice again, a very strong male voice, and he didn't sound very old.
Then came the sound of swords and armor.
Lucy looked forward with confused eyes at this time, and found that there were many soldiers beside her. At this time, they were all pointing their swords and guns in front of them, because there were several figures chasing them in front of them.
Obviously, these are the people who came to capture Lucy, people sent by Count Miran.
Seeing the formation on the opposite side, the people chasing Lucy naturally stopped. There are many people on the other side, and they look like the equipment of the regular imperial army. The person opposite is obviously a general.
It's not surprising that the other party appears here, because in a few days it will be the Crown Prince's first birthday banquet. Of course, all imperial nobles who are fine must come back to attend the banquet. Therefore, it is not strange for a general to appear in the city.
The other party should be a general who had just returned to the city, and these people didn't recognize him. I heard that because there were so many people returning to the imperial city in the past few days, people entering the city lined up at the city gate, and everyone wanted to come and enjoy the prince's wedding banquet.
Therefore, 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 just enter at will.
Linton never worried about someone taking the opportunity to rebel, maybe he was just bored.
"General, we are ordered to take this woman back, and please hand her over to us." The leader was quite polite and said to the man holding Lucy opposite.
"Are you arresting people on the street this late at night?" A man's voice sounded, "You don't look like good people anyway."
"We are from the Earl of Miran's residence. We would like to ask the general for your convenience." The leader did not want to delay for too long. After all, this matter really cannot be exposed too much. Things have become a bit big now. If someone from the city guard really comes looking for them, they are not worried about being caught. They are just going to embarrass Count Miran and be punished by the count, so they just moved out of the backstage.
"Count Miran? Who is he? From what you say, he seems quite famous? From what you say, this guy is more famous than me, right?" The man smiled directly, "Listen, my name is Garsain Meloway, go back to your master and ask who has the greater reputation.”
