"Oh, it's Liu Jue?"

“That’s right, because Mary didn’t conceive the earl’s child, she couldn’t inherit the surname, let alone have it passed down through generations.”

“After Mary dies, her descendants will be commoners, not nobles.”

"..."

"No wonder Countess Mary has a bad reputation; her experiences make her easy to smear."

Patty thought for a moment and said, "Being born a commoner is ultimately a disadvantage. If Mary had been a noblewoman from the beginning, people would only sympathize with her plight and lament her misfortune."

“But now, she’ll definitely be labeled as a ‘husband-killer’ and a ‘poisonous woman’.”

"Behind her back, those noble ladies must be saying all sorts of things about her."

"really"

Anne nodded and said, "There's a very exaggerated rumor that Countess Mary is so beautiful because she bathes in the blood of young girls every day."

"Uh, is that really so perverted?"

Petty muttered, "Our family only has rumors of eating children. It seems Countess Mary is really hated."

This is the capital city; the Seventh Agency's spies are everywhere.

Mary wasn't some big shot that even royalty had to fear; if she really did that, she would have vanished long ago.

The rumors were so detailed and convincing that it was clear someone wanted to ruin her reputation.

"In that case, it seems we can meet Countess Mary!"

"Hmph, this is a good opportunity to embarrass the royal family. Who told them to..."

“Miss Grant, shh.”

Anne shushed her and pointed to the little girl who had closed her eyes at some point and hadn't made a sound for a long time.

"Master is asleep, let's talk again tomorrow."

"kindness"

Petty whispered back, "Then I'm going back to my room. Goodnight."

"Good night"

"Although Countess Mary has an earldom title, she is merely a court earldom, and a minor one at that. She is not worthy of your personal visit at all."

"Moreover, you may not know this since you're not from the capital, but Countess Mary doesn't have a very good reputation."

"My lord, you should hurry and see His Majesty."

"He has prepared a grand banquet, and all the high-ranking officials in the capital are waiting for you."

Why waste time on someone like that?

Along the way, Jinmian kept trying to persuade the little girl to change her mind.

Jinmian was both shocked and furious; Mary's audacity was unbelievable to her.

His Majesty has already warned her, how dare she?

Besides, taking sides at this time is something only a fool would do!

The young girl cannot stay in the capital for long. His Majesty may have reservations and not be able to take action against Mary while she is in the capital.

Once she leaves, how will Mary withstand His Majesty's wrath?

'How could there be such an idiot?' Jinmian couldn't understand it at all.

"Bubble has already promised to visit, and you have to keep your promises."

Seeing that the girl's attitude was quite firm, Jinmian suppressed his intention to continue persuading her.

'Hmph, I'll definitely expose that woman's ugly face when the time comes!'

"Your Excellency!"

Just as the little girl was in the carriage, a surprised voice came from in front of the Earl's mansion.

Anne and Patty were both stunned when they saw the person who arrived; the word 'stunning' simultaneously popped into their minds.

'What a beautiful person, with such a great figure...'

"Wow, so beautiful! It's a pity the hair isn't pure gold, and the eye color isn't deep blue. She's beautiful, but this beauty isn't 'orthodox.'"

After the initial amazement, Anne and Patty had completely different thoughts.

Anne and Patty were both amazed, and the Sixth Agency and Viper's followers who followed were completely stunned.

Upon seeing this, Jinmian was immediately enraged!

A cold snort rang in the ears of the attendants, shaking them off their horses.

"Hello, you must be Countess Mary?" the little girl greeted her in a friendly manner.

"Yes, I am Mary. Your Excellency, you can just call me Mary."

Mary bowed respectfully to Bubble: "Please come with me, I have prepared some delicious snacks for you."

.................................................. ........................

"Soft and sweet."

"White, strawberry flavor."

After eating another pastry, the little girl couldn't help but ask, "What's this pastry called? It's so delicious!"

"The dessert is called 'Daifuku'."

Mary looked relieved: "I made this myself, thankfully Your Excellency did not find it offensive."

"Bubble won't be picky about delicious snacks. By the way, how are these made? Bubble should go back and tell the chef so they can try making them."

“It’s very easy. Once you tell them, the chefs will definitely know how to make it.”

After briefly explaining the preparation method, Mary added with a smile, "It was really presumptuous of me to have the maid visit so late last night..."

"Knowing it's presumptuous, why did you still come to visit?"

Golden Mask interrupted Mary rudely, coldly asking, "What's your purpose?"

Section 609, Chapter 608: An Opportunity

Suddenly, the man with the golden mask spoke up and questioned Mary, but Mary remained calm and composed.

"Your Excellency, I am an admirer of the Earl. Can you understand my feelings of knowing it is presumptuous yet still visiting with trepidation?"

"Admirers?"

The man with the golden mask asked in a strange tone, "Countess Mary, did I hear that right?"

“You heard me right, Mary is indeed an admirer of Count Yog.”

"Oh?"

“Mary likes money, but she likes power even more.”

"With the Golden Trade Route, the Earl can be said to be incredibly wealthy."

"Power... needless to say."

Mary smiled and said, "Of course I admire Your Excellency, who is rich and powerful."

"..."

"........."

Although it's the truth, you're being way too direct!

Jinmian was somewhat taken aback, not expecting Mary to be so direct.

"Haha, it's less that you admire Count Yog and more that you're greedy for money and power!"

The man with the golden mask said bluntly, "What a pity that such a handsome face is nothing but that of a vulgar person."

“Your Excellency, Mary is just an ordinary person,” Mary said frankly.

“Your Excellency, you have kept your promise and visited this place.”

Golden Face turned to Bubble: "We don't need to waste time on a commoner. Let's hurry to the palace."

"Hmm," the little girl hesitated.

She's only been here a short time and has already eaten some of their snacks. Isn't it impolite of her to just leave now?

“My Lord Earl, we happen to be going the same way.”

Mary smiled and said, "You're going to the capital, and so am I. Could you give me a ride along the way?"

"sure."

The little girl readily agreed: "You ride in Bubble's carriage, and Bubble will give you a ride."

"What a coincidence!"

Golden Mask stared at Mary: "Could this be an excuse you just came up with on the spot?"

“I hold a banquet in the capital every month, but this month’s banquet hasn’t been held yet.”

Mary said calmly, "His Majesty is going to hold a banquet for the Earl, and coincidentally, Mary will also be holding her own banquet on the same day."

"I'm afraid not many people will come to your banquet this time," the golden-faced man said coldly.

"Who knows?"

"Golden Mask..."

At this moment, the little girl looked at her curiously and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Mary?"

"..."

"There's no conflict."
