Margaret Mag was holding a teacup and looking curiously at Goethe's study.
The tea in the cup is black tea from the North, with a little ginger juice and honey added - it is slightly spicy at first, but then it becomes sweet. Goethe liked this tea very much, especially when he was reading late at night in the North.
, such a cup of tea can immediately dispel the chill and warm people from the stomach to the whole body.
The books in the study are in disarray.
There are piles of books on the desk, on the bedside, next to the sofa, and even on the side of the table legs, without any classification.
"I thought Goethe would keep all your books in order and read them meticulously."
Margareta said in surprise.
"Why?"
"Because this is how you feel to me - vigilant, serious, and... cruel."
"People like this shouldn't read in such a disorganized way."
"Are you using them to hide something?"
Margareta analyzed it carefully.
Goethe shrugged.
"How about you look for it?"
"Is it really okay?"
Goethe made a gesture of invitation.
Margarida, the second daughter of the Tulip family, was not polite, so she started rummaging through the books. She picked up a book on the desk and looked through it twice. It was normal, and then picked up the book below.
The moment she opened a book, her face turned slightly red. Then she looked at the book on the bedside, picked up one and just opened it, her face became even redder.
Next is the one next to the sofa and on the table leg side.
Every time she opened it, Margareta's face turned red.
After reading all the books, the second daughter of the Tulip family sat back in her chair with a slightly short breath, took a sip of tea, and calmed her mind.
"I didn't expect your taste to be so unique."
The second daughter of the Tulip family said with a hint of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Margarita's origins meant that she would be treated respectfully on any occasion.
Both men and women are polite to her.
She would never let her see these little Liu Bei.
Of course, in private, Margareta watched it secretly.
But that's just out of pure curiosity.
Moreover, those little Liu Bei's have bland tastes and are far from as bold as Goethe's. There are actually... animals.
"What you see on the desk is what I love to see."
"The bedside, sofa, and table legs were all given to me by Emlay - you know, a guy like Emlay who pursues novelty and excitement will always want to do something different."
Goethe said very frankly.
This is half true and half false.
The book is indeed Emrek's.
But it wasn't Enmlek who sent it on his own initiative, it was Goethe who moved it.
As for why it’s so comprehensive?
Naturally, this is because Emreck has a wide range of interests and has nothing to do with Goethe.
"Yeah?"
Margareta was a little skeptical.
"certainly."
Goethe sat on one side of the sofa, turned his head and looked at the second daughter of the Tulip family opposite, pointed to the sofa where she was sitting, and said: "There is a collection behind the sofa cushions. Do you want to see it?"
"don't want."
"How could you treat a lady like this?"
"You are really ungentlemanly."
Margareta shook her head, anger appearing in her eyes.
Goethe didn't care.
Not only did he not care about Margarida's anger, but he also didn't care about the other person's attitude. He only cared about the other person's money.
500w gold grams!
Goethe had never seen so much money in the 'Anchor World'.
In fact, Goethe could guarantee that he would not be able to get so much money from the treasury of his uncle, the Grand Duke of the North.
However, the woman in front of me took it out.
And she told him frankly.
What does this mean?
In other words, what does this mean?
It's not hard to guess.
The other party must have seen his 'business opportunity' in challenging all second-level professionals - Goethe never doubted that someone could see his purpose.
In any world, there are smart people.
Of course, there are also people like Silla who look smart but are actually extremely stupid.
But not Margarita Margo.
The second daughter of the Tulip family who dared to escape from marriage was quite smart and courageous. Otherwise, she would not have taken 5 million gold grams with her when she escaped from the family arrangement.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
Goethe didn't have much experience facing such women.
Because, most of the time, he stayed away from me.
But 500w gold grams...
So delicious!
The blood in his body was boiling, and his soul was about to dance.
His brain and heart were telling him.
He wants to order 500w gold!
He said it!
God has come, and it is His!
Therefore, Goethe prepared a negotiation - the other party took the initiative to come to the door, and he had already gained a little bit of initiative, so he didn't mind getting a little more.
Therefore, this arrangement was made: Margareta was invited to the study.
As for little Liu Bei in the study?
They are already there.
They were not in disarray at first, but in the dead of night last night, when Goethe wanted to look at one of the fragments, he couldn't find it.
In the end, it became such a mess.
Of course, I found it in the end.
But because I read too much before, even if I found what I originally wanted, it became boring. This is just like the first love in life, why is it so hard to forget?
Isn’t it just because you ask for it but don’t get it?
When I finally got it at a certain moment, I found out again that I seemed to be wrong.
Moreover, this feeling is definitely born in an instant when you realize your ultimate dream of first love and feel each other's body temperature.
As I kept going in and out, I became more and more doubtful about life.
No need to doubt it.
Most of the time, it’s because you are older and unable to do what you want.
A small part?
That just confuses the present with the original.
The people in front of me look the same.
But it's different from the original memory.
So, I just asked for it but couldn’t get it.
Not love.
Love is so complicated.
Goethe couldn't understand it, and he was even less willing to touch it - and compared to love, money was much more, it was real, tactile, and could be held in his hands.
So, Goethe looked at Margarita Margot with a smile.
"I think you're thinking of something rude."
The second daughter of the Tulip family frowned slightly.
She felt she had miscalculated.
Before coming, she thought she was fully prepared and seemed to have given away the initiative, but with 5 million gold grams as bait, it only took an instant for her to take back the initiative.
Just as Goethe guessed.
Margareta Mag, who was in Bear's Castle in the north, discovered a 'business opportunity'.
At first, the second daughter of the Tulip family didn't pay much attention.
She thinks this is just a game of chance similar to the ones in the past.
She played it when she was in Fabol.
Even, the end was organized.
The 'little game' that was so popular back then was written by the second daughter of the Tulip family. Therefore, as time went by and some of the rules formulated by Goethe were introduced, the second daughter of the Tulip family keenly discovered the differences.
Unconsciously, she began to understand more deeply.
Then, she felt that an opportunity seemed to arise that would allow her to live a more prosperous life.
but……
Why is Goethe different from what she imagined?
In other words, it was different from the Goethe in the information she had collected.
The Goethe in the intelligence is calm, cautious, tenacious, ruthless, and makes people feel troubled.
But the other party's calmness and caution made her feel easy to strike.
After all, she has an extraordinary life experience.
After all, she still has 5 million gold grams.
After all, she is a woman and very beautiful.
Based on these three points, she specially prepared six plans.
But it was a miscalculation.
She even once again felt uneasy about the fact that she was a woman and very beautiful.
Margarida Marge glanced at little Liu Bei in the study, saw the smiling Goethe in front of her, and the burning eyes, and couldn't help but shrink back.
That kind of look that looks like substance...
A bit scary.
But, immediately, the second daughter of the Tulip family felt the hardness behind the sofa cushion.
This is a collection of Xiao Liu Bei.
Immediately, the other party jumped up like a frightened deer.
Goethe laughed.
Having achieved his goal, he spread out his hands and leaned back on the sofa.
"Don't do this."
"I have no other intention, I just want your money."
Goethe spoke more frankly about his purpose.
money?
Margarida Marge was stunned.
Surrounded by little Liu Bei, it was difficult for her not to have preconceptions - as the second daughter of the Tulip family, the extravagant and chaotic life of Fabol's upper class had nothing to do with her.
She can watch, but cannot participate.
Because her identity determines that she must be loyal to her future husband.
This is her value as the second daughter of the Tulip family.
It can also be said to be the greatest value.
Even if he escaped from Fabol at this time.
Margarita Margo also needs to maintain this value for herself.
She escaped.
But what if you are caught and taken back?
If she loses her value, it will be a miserable end.
Not to mention dying alone, with the methods of her father and brother, there is a high probability that she will be executed secretly, and then a replacement will be found to live in her name and identity, and bring considerable benefits to the family.
Therefore, Margarida Margo is very careful.
I was really a little scared by Goethe.
She knew how scary the man with the X-worm's brain was.
But now?
Following Goethe's frankness, Margareta Margot did not feel lucky.
Instead, he was angry.
Of course, it is definitely not the kind of anger that a little girl feels when she thinks she is being watched, but then finds out that she is not being watched—Margarida Margo is not a little girl.
If she was really a little girl, she would definitely be fascinated by Dirkmo.
The identity, strength, and appearance of the head of the 'Rose Knights' are all in line with the little girl's aesthetics.
What made her angry was that she had been tricked by Goethe!
That’s right!
Just being fooled!
"Did you do it on purpose?"
Margarida Mag sat back again, with dissatisfaction in her eyes and tone.
"You didn't mean it?"
Goethe asked with a smile.
"I'm just in it for the deal."
Margarida Margo emphasized.
"Then I'm just looking for a better deal."
Goethe reiterated.
The uncompromising dialogue made Margarida Marge frown slightly.
She looked at Goethe.
At this time, the second daughter of the Tulip family simply gave up her previous plan - she originally wanted to take the initiative and occupy the majority, at least half.
Now?
A third would be good.
Even, a quarter.
"What percentage of 500,000 gold grams can be taken?"
Margareta Mag asked directly.
She didn't want to go around in circles anymore.
She felt that continuing would only make the situation worse.
"Um?"
"What's the meaning?"
At this time, Goethe showed a kind of confusion.
"I'm asking you, what percentage of your business can 5 million gold grams account for - my bottom line is 30%."
Margarida Margo threw out the so-called bottom line.
As for the bottom line?
The bottom line in trading is not just for breaking through.
"There is none in Chengdu."
"If you ask strongly, I can probably give you one percent."
"This is based on the premise that the 5 million gold grams and your identity can bring me more convenience."
Goethe shook his head.
"Are you planning to rob?"
Margarida Margo growled.
At this time, Margarida Marge was really angry. She felt that she had been insulted.
The second daughter of the Tulip family stood up and prepared to leave.
"Aren't you ready to hear why I dare to give you one percent?"
Just before the other party opened the door, Goethe said slowly.
Margarida Margo stopped.
Although Goethe's performance at this time was not what she expected, there was one thing she could be sure of - Goethe was not that arrogant and ignorant person.
It is impossible for such a person to really make such a request.
unless……
Have something to rely on.
The second daughter of the Tulip family came back and sat down again.
However, the hardness of the collector's book Xiao Liu Bei made her sit very uncomfortable and she needed to adjust her posture.
"You should know your current situation, right?"
"It seems happy - after all, you are holding 5 million gold grams."
"But actually?"
"As long as the Tulip family is not stupid, you will be captured soon - after all, you hold 5 million gold grams."
"And the reason why you found me and told me so frankly that you have 5 million gold grams is that in addition to seeing this 'business opportunity', you are also seeking protection."
"Use 5 million gold grams as a bargaining chip to gain asylum in the north."
"As long as my uncle and brother are here, the Tulip family will not go to war. This gives you room to maneuver."
"Is it right?"
Goethe picked up the teacup and took a sip.
With 5 million gold grams, he is bound to win.
But he will never let 5 million gold grams confuse his eyes.
He can clearly see what the 5 million gold grams represents.
"right!"
Margarita Margo did not mince words on this issue.
Now that Goethe saw it, it would be insulting for her to talk about him again.
That's what she thought.
Even after the news that "she ran away from marriage for love" spread before, she even added fuel to the flames.
The purpose is to gain more freedom.
"Then have you ever thought about how long this kind of asylum can last?"
Goethe continued to ask.
"What's the meaning?"
Margareta Mag looked at Goethe.
"You know Te Siyin's grudge against the North, right?"
"Something very beneficial to the North is happening in Tesin now - it is impossible for my uncle and three cousins to let go of this rare opportunity."
"But, Fabol is watching eagerly from the side."
"In order to send troops smoothly, the North must have a good relationship with Fabol."
"Guess what we will do?"
Goethe smiled and looked at Margareta Mag.
The face of the second daughter of the Tulip family turned pale instantly.
How to build a good relationship with Fabol?
What could be easier than sending her back directly?
She, 5 million gold coins, returned to Fabol.
Back to Sark.
Back to the tulip family.
The problems in the north will be solved.
With the character of her father and brother, she would definitely agree.
Not only her, but also because of the Tulip family's targeting of the Rose family - her father and brother would not allow the king of the Rose family to obtain such great merit.
Even if you want to get it, it is the tulip family.
Thinking of this, the second daughter of the Tulip family almost ran away.
However, looking at Goethe's smiling face, she suppressed her fear.
"So, you have a solution?"
Goethe proposed one percent, naturally because he had a solution.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Goethe sat up straight and stared at Margarita Marg.
"You just want to escape."
"Have you never thought about taking the initiative?"
Goethe asked.
Hearing such words, Margarida Margot stood up directly.
"I thought you had some great ideas!"
"In the end, you just wanted to use me to stir up disputes with Fabol?"
"What's the difference between a guy like you and a bastard like Dirkmo?"
After saying that, the second daughter of the Tulip family was about to leave again.
Goethe shook his head.
"Of course, there is a difference!"
"Dilkemo wants to use you to ascend to the throne he has been waiting for for a long time - I even doubt that you can escape smoothly. This guy also played some disgraceful role."
"Rather than using you to gain the support of the Tulip family and then compete with the Rose family, it would be better to let you escape and directly trigger the conflict between the two families."
"He probably thought he could win with certainty, or that he had some back-ups, so he did it."
"Besides, do you think your father and brother know that you are going to run away?"
After Margarita Marg appeared, Goethe reviewed Fabol's information about the rose family and the tulip family in detail.
In particular, the head of the 'Order of the Rose', as a member of the Rose family, was willing to marry the second daughter of the Tulip family - this was something Goethe had dug deeply into.
Then, something interesting appeared.
Margarida Margo's escape was not caused by the other party alone, but was facilitated by a group of people.
To put it simply, a group of old foxes are playing with the little white rabbits.
Margarida Margo stopped.
She is not a fool.
She had some bad guesses before, but she didn't let herself think about them.
At this moment, as Goethe said it, she had to face it.
Taking a deep breath, the second daughter of the Tulip family sat back again.
Moreover, this time she no longer adjusted her sitting posture, but directly pulled out little Liu Bei from behind the sofa cushion and prepared to hand it to Goethe.
However, the words "The First Extraordinary Battle" were written on the cover of Xiao Liu Bei.
"This is?"
Margarida Margo was startled.
"I have spent so much effort, so naturally I want to turn a 'business opportunity' into a recyclable one - otherwise, it will be a huge loss."
"Just like you, since you appear in front of me, of course I will dig out more gold grams from you!"
“500w gold grams?”
"This is just the beginning!"
Goethe laughed.
He, Goethe, was greedy.
"Will the North help me?"
Margarida Marge held the book in her hand and asked in a deep voice.
"certainly!"
"But you also need to take a little risk. If you succeed, you will gain freedom and even become the queen of Fabol - something that the saint did not achieve."
"What if it fails?"
"There is a high probability that you will be burned to death like that saint."
Goethe sighed.
"Why should I trust you?"
Margarita Margo still struggled a little.
"At this time, you can choose not to believe me, and then leave here and wait for your father and brother to capture you, or for my uncle to send you back."
"This is your freedom, your choice."
"And me?"
"As a northerner, I don't have the blood of the Rose family or the Tulip family. I can't participate in it, let alone fight for the throne."
"I just want more money."
Goethe made no secret of his purpose.
This gave Margarida Marge a little peace of mind.
"Then what should I do?"
Margarida Marge gritted her teeth and opened her mouth to ask.
The second daughter of the Tulip family finally made up her mind.
Goethe stretched out his hand.
"500w."
Goethe said this.
"Can I have one percent?"
Margarida Marge confirmed.
Different from before, at this time, the second daughter of the Tulip family only hopes to get one percent.
Even if Goethe didn't give it, she wouldn't say anything.
In fact, Goethe really didn't want to give it.
But for future plans, he had to give it.
"Can."
Goethe said while holding back his heartache.
Margarida Margo's figure disappeared instantly.
When she appeared again, a box already appeared in her hand.
"500w golden ticket."
Margarita Margo handed the box to Goethe.
Weight, taste, no problem.
Goethe made a judgment the moment he took over.
"Can you tell me how to do it now?"
"Why don't you open the book in your hand and take a look?"
"The answer is already in your hands."
Goethe pointed at the book, and Margarita Mager immediately opened the book in her hand, and then——
"ah!"
The second daughter of the Tulip family let out a scream of shame and anger.
She saw a large area of greasy tentacles.
This is an area she has never touched before.
Immediately, she shouted to Goethe.
"You scoundrel! Bastard!"
"You are ignorant! Shallow!"
Goethe fought back mercilessly. At the same time, Goethe's face became serious and he spoke word by word.
"You only see the dirty side, but you don't see the holy side."
"It's like you don't know what Fabol needs now."
"What do you need?"
The second daughter of the Tulip family asked cooperatively.
Goethe stood up, walked to the other party, lowered his head and looked at the somewhat dazed Margarida Mag. He leaned into the other party's ear and said in a voice that only two people could hear -
