Please offer everything to Her Majesty the Princess

As soon as she saw these words, Grace's slightly different thoughts immediately sank and disappeared without a trace.

Afro is indeed a fool!

As for the suspicious □□□ and the highlighted [发○] sign all the time, Grace was a little unsure.

It was clearly a hair, but there was nothing strange about it.

Grace's temporary approach is to leave it alone for a while and let it go.

Afro does whatever he wants.

When it comes to matters of the heart, no one can escape unscathed, and the wall of Grace's heart can only allow her to make such a choice.

……

Eight days after the injury.

The steady hooves of the horses drove all the way from the spacious avenue of the imperial palace into the streets of the Suko district, which was populated by the wealthy.

Grace sat quietly in the spacious carriage, leaning on a golden umbrella cane in her right hand, the dragon head of the cane inlaid with precious red gems.

When the tip of the umbrella touches the ground and the soft hands in lace gloves gently grasp the walking stick, there is an indescribable elegance and dignity.

Of course, this is not decoration, but the ankle has been restored to reduce the pressure on the foot.

Today Grace's task is to investigate the casino issues in the Soochow area according to Victoria's request.

The very existence of casinos is to make illegal profits.

What Grace needs to do is to check whether these casinos meet the empire's business requirements and whether there are any unpaid taxes.

"Your Highness Grace, Her Highness Victoria's request is that you can find evidence of the Koda Casino."

Caroline pushed her glasses up gently, and under the sunlight, her intelligent blue eyes seemed to contain countless secrets.

"handle?"

Grace actually wanted to find the weakness of Caroline's secretary so that she could get a sharp blade to stab Victoria.

Caroline nodded and patiently suggested, "Yes, it would be best if we could find evidence that the Koda Casino has been shut down for a month, such as tax evasion, fighting, or hiding a large amount of magic crystals."

Casinos are cash cows for the upper class.

If you cut off someone's source of wealth, you may accidentally bring about disaster and death.

It must be said that Victoria has a very vicious heart.

However...in order to gain Victoria's trust, how can I not offer her a little bit of poisonous loyalty?

Grace's eyebrows slightly raised, but she still pretended to be humble and said softly:

"Got it. Miss Caroline, I'll leave it to you then."

"It's okay, Your Highness Grace. This is what I should do."

Caroline then made a new suggestion, "However, if you go in as Her Royal Highness, you may not find anything. So, I recommend that you go in disguise."

……

With Caroline's help, Grace stepped carefully onto the beam and jumped off the carriage.

With a click, the small crutch tapped lightly on the stone slab, and Grace felt the joy of freedom.

My ankle has just recovered, so I can't do strenuous running, but there's no big problem with simple walking.

So...it's time to head into the casino?

Expensive and elegant, that was the only feeling Grace had.

The exterior is built with fine marble, and the traditional Rhine-style door is carved with intricate patterns.

In the three-meter-high open door, the colorful prosperity comes towards you along with the lights.

A fresh and elegant fragrance permeates the air, and the expensive red carpet extends all the way to the corridor at the end of the lobby.

Waiters in tuxedos moved around like swimming fish, and beautiful women in evening gowns walked around with goose down folding fans in their hands, dispelling the world's extravagant luxury like a zoom shot in a movie.

Grace entered the casino like an ordinary visitor, leaning on a delicate little cane.

Ta-ta-ta. Before she had even taken two steps, a receptionist in a tuxedo stopped Grace.

"My dear lady, is this your first time here?"

Grace looked back at Caroline who was following behind her.

"Yes." - She answered first for herself.

"I see. In the lobby, if you are our member, all your purchases will be discounted by 30%.

If you need to enter the inner field, you need to pledge ten gold coins. Ask your maid to go with me to the front desk to exchange them. "

Some handsome male waiters who had received professional training carefully looked at Grace's clothes and spoke like pouring beans.

"You just need to hold a fixed number and you can go in and gamble."

Grace tapped the floor gently with the tip of her umbrella. "Caroline, go exchange chips with him."

"Yes, ma'am."

Caroline nodded and agreed expressionlessly.

These complicated procedures were left to Caroline, and all Grace needed to do was to go in and see if there was anything fishy in the casino.

Auditing requires a sudden response, doesn't it?

So, after receiving a beautiful woven bracelet with a number tag, Grace entered the interior of the Koda Casino.

Blackjack, baccarat, roulette, all kinds of gambling methods are dazzling.

Unlike the noisy and crowded gambling venues, this place is more elegant. An expensive piano is placed in the center of the hall. A pianist wearing a backless red dress plays the piano, and the gentle music accompanied by a light aroma slowly fills the hall.

All the dealers are handsome, even the women wear gorgeous and tight long skirts.

Every gambler who comes here either holds a wine glass or holds chips. Even if they behave politely, they cannot hide the desire and madness for money in their eyes.

It fits my stereotype of casinos.

Grace stopped in front of the gate and looked down at everything in front of her.

Behind her followed two attendants in tuxedos for protection.

For some reason, Grace had a vague sense of anticipation in her heart, as if something special might happen.

Grace clenched her crutches and walked slowly up the stairs toward the gambling arena filled with money and corruption.

One step, two steps, heels step on the cashmere red carpet.

Suddenly, the pointer of fate moved, and a thin figure passed by.

The slightly furry mink coat looked a little old, and her long chestnut-colored hair swayed gently in the air, bringing with it a pleasant fragrance.

Such a familiar feeling... Grace couldn't help but squint her eyes.

She looked up along the mink coat, her deep blue eyes were as bright as a starry night, and her delicate features were still as stiff as a doll, devoid of emotion.

The girl's soft, long, chestnut-colored hair brushed across her chin. Grace's pupils widened. She quickly grabbed Nora's arm and shouted at the girl,

"Nora!"

"Um……"

Nora finally realized something. She raised her head and made an unprepared eye contact with Grace.

The girl's pupils collapsed in an instant as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart.

"..."

But there was only a moment of panic before Nora nimbly pulled off Grace's slender arm.

Astonishing speed and strength burst out from his legs, like a nimble and agile wild cat. He leaped up the stairs in two quick steps, ready to escape like last time.

With the breeze of the girl's escape still lingering on her fingertips, Grace turned around neatly and gave orders to the guards in a swift and decisive manner.

"You guys! Go and catch that girl, the sooner the better!"

Thinking that Nora could also use illusion to control people's bodies, Grace ordered seriously,

"Remember to tie her hands and feet and blindfold her when you catch her, so she can't move at all."

For a weak girl, as long as she did not master powerful intermediate magic, the strictly trained royal guards could capture her with almost no effort.

The casino will provide a comfortable private room for each senior member to rest.

So Grace chose to take the elevator to the bedroom room on the fourth floor to quietly drink tea and wait for news from the servants.

Nora was caught very quickly.

The whole process took less than fifteen minutes, and then there was a loud noise outside the door.

Caroline opened the door to the room.

"Your Highness, the person you wanted has been captured."

Then Miss Nora, who had been playing a cat-and-mouse game with him, finally appeared in front of him.

Her eyes, like the sky and the ocean, were covered by a thin black veil, revealing her slightly red lips and smooth jawline.

In addition, Nora herself has no expression, which makes people feel like they want to bully her.

The beautiful hands were clenched into fists, tightly bound by a thick hemp rope, slightly red, and walked towards him in reluctant small steps.

"You guys go out first, I'll talk to her alone."

"Yes."

Grace drove the servants away, and she and Nora were the only ones left in the spacious box.

However, when she was speaking, Grace found that Nora's shoulders seemed to tremble nervously.

Grace sat at the tea table and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

She turned the crutch that was leaning against the table, hooked the girl's bound hands with the barbs of the crutch, and slowly dragged them in front of her.

Nora was a quiet woman, with her mouth drooping like a dull, rotten piece of wood. She looked just like the unyielding woman in the TV series who faced death head-on. She tilted her head and pursed her lips tightly.

It was as if he was sticking to his own bottom line and couldn't utter a single word.

Still as silent as before.

Grace raised her eyebrows subtly and stood up. She picked up a goose down folding fan given by the casino from the table and lifted her slightly pointed chin in a frivolous manner.

"Hello again, Nora Francis, my maid?"

The clear voice was still cold, but perhaps because Grace was in a good mood, there was a sense of pride that was almost overflowing.

----------

I went to the hospital late at night to take X-rays and have a full body check-up. They found that there was no major problem. They told me to rest well, get enough sleep, and not stay up late.

But I spent more than a thousand, so I will update vigorously later to earn back the money.

Please become my money cloth (seriously).

All future updates will be made before 12 o'clock, please follow the doctor's advice!

I hope all my fellow readers take care of their health!!

102. Death of Grace

The Adam's apple on Nora's neck moved slightly up and down, and because she was a little thin, the blue veins were particularly obvious.

"Um……"

She didn't answer, but just let out a muffled groan, her cheek muscles tense, as if she was enduring something.

Grace just thought Nora was nervous.

After all, she had snatched her emerald earrings openly and jumped down from the fourth floor like a bird.

As if she was reading a fairy tale to herself before going to bed, Grace continued to slow down her voice.

"Ms. Nora, I remember that you...took the initiative to become a maid."

"Do you know what the consequences are for stealing from the royal family?"

Interrogation also requires skills, just like the calm before the storm, the softer the words, the more they make people think.
