Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 500 Sima Zhao’s Heart

  After taking a bath, Yulia Minetoska wrapped herself in a towel, twisted her wet hair, walked to the French window, and looked out:

It was past midnight, and the city center of Thorn City, which was extremely noisy during the day, had fallen into silence. Only the oil-burning street lamps beside the Steel Street Bridge emitted a dim light.

The "God-given Blade" exhibition held by the "Inspur" Chamber of Commerce had already ended, and the guests had naturally left. At this moment, there was no one downstairs in the "Real Bernabéu" club.

  Unfortunately, since the middle city is located below the upper city, the starry night sky above the Thorn City cannot be seen from here;

And Julia Minetoska had not seen the moon of her hometown for a long time.

Yulia left the French window and stretched her jade-like arms lazily. She hastily put her wet hair up, and comfortably collapsed on her animal-skin recliner, humming a demonic tune.

"Your wine, miss." Yulia's personal maid Daisy came over with a wine tray.

On the tray in the maid's hand was a crystal-carved red wine glass. The wine in the glass seemed a bit viscous, rippling with a gorgeous luster like fresh blood.

Any wine connoisseur on the mainland can immediately recognize that this is the famous Demonic wine "Harvest Blood Moon" - this premium wine is only produced by a few noble wineries on the edge of the Sea of ​​Misty Mountains. It is a work of art that combines grape varieties, marine climate and brewing technology. Its market price is even several times higher than the same weight of gold.

Born into the Minetoska family, a noble family of demons, Julia had long ago developed the habit of drinking a glass of "Harvest Blood Moon" alone at night whenever there was a big event to celebrate.

Now, she and the members of the Northern Branch of the "Tide" Chamber of Commerce were trapped in Thorn City and had been living in the "Real Bernabéu" Club for more than half a year. Considering the lack of resources, she had restrained herself and had not tasted the delicious "Harvest Blood Moon" for a long time.

But Yulia thought it was worth a drink tonight.

She took the wine glass from the maid Daisy, put it to her lips, took a sip, and immediately let out a satisfied moan.

Then, Yulia opened her eyes and found Daisy looking at her with interest.

“What’s the matter, Daisy?” she asked. “What’s the matter?”

"Nothing..." Daisy blinked and suddenly smiled with her hands covering her mouth, "I just felt that you were in a particularly good mood today..."

"Ah, did I?" Yulia felt her face getting a little hot and she quickly rubbed her face to cover it up.

"Yes!" Daisy nodded affirmatively. "You looked sad the past few days, but today you look very relaxed. I just saw you smiling at the mirror!"

Yulia felt her face getting even hotter, so she quickly lowered her head and took a sip of red wine.

"Hey, Master, let me say..." Daisy bent down and smiled mischievously, "You are so happy today, isn't it because of you and that gentleman... huh?"

"What do you mean by that first--" Julia Minetoska was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. Her face immediately turned red, and she quickly reached out and twisted Daisy's cheek, "You damned little bitch! You were eavesdropping!"

"Miss, it hurts! It hurts!" Daisy giggled and got rid of Yulia's face-pinching attack, jumping to the side like a little rabbit, "You really can't blame me for eavesdropping! You two were doing it right in the corridor, and you were screaming so loudly - I really just happened to hear it when I was putting my things away and passed by..."

For the first time, Yulia wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in front of her maid. But she suddenly remembered something more important, and hurriedly raised her head and asked:

"Did anyone hear it besides you?"

"Don't worry, I dare not let others ruin your good deeds..." Daisy laughed non-stop, "After I heard what you were doing, I stood outside the corridor and kept an eye on you. Don't worry, everyone was attending the auction in the hall at that time, and no one came..."

Yulia finally felt relieved, but at the same time, she suddenly thought, doesn't this mean that while she was busy making love with the Duke of Frost Maple Ridge, there was a maid hiding nearby and listening to the entire live pornographic show...

"Little bitch!" Yulia cursed with a red face.

"Miss, let me tell you..." Daisy waited innocently for Yulia to calm down before asking tentatively, "I only heard a few things vaguely at the time... But, could the gentleman in the corridor be the famous Duke of Frost Maple Ridge, Lord Elliot Igor himself?"

Yulia's expression froze, and she remained silent. "Don't worry, young lady. I won't tell anyone. Don't you believe me?" Daisy patted her chest and assured him, "I'm just a little curious. How did Lord Igor, as an imperial noble, get into this Thorn City?"

  Yulia sighed and shook her head.

"How can ordinary people like us understand a person like him?"

——Of course, by saying this, she was also acknowledging Daisy’s problem.

"Wow!" Daisy stamped her feet and screamed excitedly, but she lowered her voice deliberately. "You really slept with Elliot Igor! The legendary Lord of Frost Maple Ridge!"

Yulia Minetoska rolled her eyes at first, then raised her face involuntarily.

Daisy was excited for a while, then asked cautiously:

"Miss, theoretically speaking, our Wave Chamber of Commerce should support the Glorious Federation in the Sixth War, right? Is it really okay for you to get involved with Lord Elliot Igor, who nominally belongs to the Empire?"

Yulia picked up the wine glass again, sat back on the recliner, crossed her legs, sipped the wine and said:

"'Support the Glorious Federation'? Oh, that's Raphael Gowther's strategy, not mine! Didn't I tell you before our convoy set out in Turbulence City? I have always believed that the final winner of this war must be Elliot Igor and his Frost Maple Ridge, not the Federation orcs that Raphael Gowther bet on! This damn royal idiot..."

"Miss!" Daisy covered her mouth. "His Royal Highness Prince Raphael is the boss of our Wave Chamber of Commerce!"

"Of course he is! What else?" Julia Minetoska gritted her teeth with sarcasm and resentment, "Why else, among the four branches of 'Tide', only my northern branch is forced to undertake such a shitty task as transporting equipment to the front line? Daisy, you and I are still trapped in Thorn City and have to greet a group of stupid orcs with a smile. Isn't it because that 'Prince Raphael Gowther' remembers my opposition to his diplomatic strategy and is retaliating against us?"

Hearing her young lady scolding the Chamber of Commerce boss, Daisy suddenly became silent and dared not say a word.

"I've had enough of this rubbish Chamber of Commerce and the green-skinned fools in Thorn City!" Julia Minetoska said bitterly, "Daisy, one day we have to draw a clear line with these idiots and do business in a place with real prospects..."

“Is there really…” Daisy’s eyes widened. “You don’t mean—”

"Frost Maple Ridge's business is booming in Soul Rift Land, but it's a pity that the loser Alexius and his rubbish 'Infernal Fire' Chamber of Commerce are helping them run their business there! Without Alexius holding them back, Frost Maple Ridge's profits could have increased several times!" Yulia snorted and shook her feet proudly. "I've already made an agreement with Lord Igor, he will help us leave Thorn City, this troubled place, and go to Frost Maple Ridge to take up a position. By then, I will no longer be the president of the 'Wave' branch, but the general manager of trade for the great Duke Elliot Igor! Hehehe!"

"Miss!" Daisy asked in surprise, "Are you really going to betray Wave and start your own company?"

"What's the matter? You've been in the Chamber of Commerce for a long time and have developed feelings for it, so you can't bear to leave?" Yulia looked at Daisy and smiled with her head tilted.

"No way! I will definitely follow you, young lady. Wherever you go, I will go!" Daisy waved her hands quickly and said seriously, "I just think that it will not be easy for you to go to Frost Maple Ridge! After all, you will be the general manager during the day and sleep with Master Elliot Igor at night..."

"What are you talking about, you little bitch!" Julia Minetoska was so embarrassed and angry that she almost threw the wine glass in her hand away.

Daisy also knew that she had played her joke too hard, so she quickly hid behind a dragon leather sofa and begged for mercy.

  Yulia put the wine glass back on the coffee table and sighed softly:

"Speaking of which, our Lord Duke Elliot Igor has never suffered any loss. You have heard what happened tonight. Why did he insist on signing a contract to buy this batch of equipment from us? No matter how good our products are, I am afraid they will not be in the eyes of the masters of Frost Maple Ridge? - On the other hand, even if we really succeed in selling arms to the Federation, can handing over this batch of weapons and equipment to the federal military really affect the war situation in Thorn City, so that the famous Lord Elliot Igor has to personally go to the trouble to stop it?"

"Yes..." Daisy said in confusion, "So why did Lord Igor insist on snatching this batch of orders from the Federation?"

"He's looking for me to pledge my allegiance!" Yulia said with a wry smile. "The 'Wave' Chamber of Commerce is a partner of the Glorious Federation, and Frost Maple Ridge is nominally our common enemy! Once Lord Igor leaks the news that I have reached a deal with Frost Maple Ridge and that we are colluding with the enemy, we will be caught and hanged by the orcs immediately! He forced me to sign a contract, which is equivalent to forcing me to hand over my handle to him... Daisy, we are now completely tied to Frost Maple Ridge's pirate ship!"

"So, Lord Igor must really want you to work for Frost Maple Ridge!" Daisy blinked and said, "Miss, this shows that your ability is recognized by Lord Igor! You are the future general manager of Frost Maple Ridge Trade!"

"No..." Julia Minetoska said faintly, "...I think he just wants my body..."
