Witte and others worked step by step. After another week, the defense tower had been built eighty meters.
In the early morning of this morning, after they were busy at the construction site, he and Lina were about to return to the castle. They walked to the public mailbox and took a look. They found a letter inside, and the envelope was drawn with ink in a checkerboard-like checkerboard pattern.
.
"It's from Toner, this is his style." Lina said with confidence, took out the envelope and handed it to Werther, "He should have new information."
"That's great, I don't know what's written in it. It's best for the vampires to delay their attack."
Werther hurriedly opened the envelope, but there was still no letter inside. He looked at the envelope carefully and accidentally touched a strange place. He put the envelope in the sun and discovered that there were writings carved with a knife on it.
He read it while reading it carefully, for fear of missing a word.
"Lina, tell His Highness Witte that I have learned the exact time when the Vampires will attack Dawn Town, fifteen days from now."
"It turns out that Tona has learned about this and has fifteen days for us to prepare."
"It's a few days longer than originally estimated. It should be enough for us to prepare. Tona's letter came at the right time. The time is just right." Werther grabbed the envelope and looked at Lina. At this time, his eyes looked very
Confident, "I will write a letter to Duke Willy today and ask him to send troops."
Lina nodded: "Do you want to have breakfast first or write a letter first?"
"It's better to write the letter first, before the postman takes it away."
"Then I'll prepare pen and paper for you later."
After they entered the castle, Linna got letter paper, envelopes, quills and ink for Werther.
Werther quickly wrote the letter, put it in an envelope, and walked to the place where the letter was sent.
The postman was loading envelopes into packages when he saw Werther walking over.
"Sir, do you want to send a letter?"
"Yes, luckily I caught up." Witte handed the letter over, "The address I want to send to is far away. I hope you can help keep it safe."
"Don't worry, sir." The postman quickly collected the letter, "I will definitely deliver your letter safely."
Seeing the carriage used to send letters go away, Werther breathed a sigh of relief.
When he returned to the castle, he smelled the strong fragrance. Potter had prepared breakfast for him and helped him carry it to the long dining table.
"Uncle Potter, is there a portion of Lina in it?" Werther asked in surprise, "Today's breakfast is twice as big as usual."
Potter came over, wiped the water on his hands on his apron, and said: "Your Highness, Lina's breakfast is not here. It was Tom who asked me to prepare more food for you. He said that you have been too tired recently and need more food.
Eat something.”
"You are so considerate. Today's breakfast tastes good too~ Margaery also helped make it?"
"Yes, Miss Margaery has done a lot this morning. Everyone has been working hard recently. If Your Highness has nothing to do, then I will go have breakfast too."
"I have nothing to do. Uncle Potter, go quickly."
After Potter left, Margaery came to the dining table with her own share of breakfast.
"Brother Werther, I am dining with the maids today~"
"Well, you are a noble of Notland, so you can dine at the same table with the lord. Besides, don't you usually dine at this table? Why did you change your habit again today?"
"Well, if it weren't for the fact that the maid didn't
If you can dine at the same table with the lord, you will definitely want to dine with Sister Linna instead of me."
"What are you talking about? You are also my friend, and I don't dislike you." Werther smiled.
Margaery licked the spoon dipped in jam and looked at him with slightly sad eyes: "As soon as I saw you, I had a lot to say to you, but I know you have a lot on your mind recently, and I don't want to disturb you.
, so I still don’t eat with you recently~”
"Great!" Werther raised his head and looked at Margery happily, with surprise in his tone.
Margaery's face instantly darkened, she lowered her head slightly, letting the curly golden hair on her forehead cover her eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched in frustration: "So you don't want to dine with me so much, then I was really pretentious before.
When spring comes, there will be a lot of caterpillars. I wonder if Brother Werther likes caterpillar specimens."
Werther opened his eyes in surprise, and his hair almost stood up. What he accidentally said just now made Margery angry. He thought that after Margery learned that he didn't want to dine with him, she wanted to do it in the spring.
A caterpillar specimen was given to him. He quickly put down his knife and fork and said in a panic: "It's not like that, Margery, please listen to my explanation."
"Listen, just say it."
"I mean, if you dine with Lina, she can take better care of you, which will put you in a better mood, that's why you say such nice things."
"So that's it." Margaery placed the food and tableware next to Werther, folded her arms in front of her chest, and looked at him coldly, "If you dare to lie to me, I will choose to retaliate against you~ I will take revenge next time
, it’s more than just a caterpillar.”
"Not a caterpillar? What is that?" Werther asked curiously.
"I might use a beetle next time~ I'll put a beetle in your book." Margery smiled and rolled her eyes, puffed her mouth, and said innocent words in a fierce and fierce tone. She looked extremely cute.
.
Werther suppressed his helpless expression and said with a forced smile: "If you find out that I lied, then you can punish me."
"No problem, then I'll go find Lina and the others." Margaery raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her head, picked up her plate, and ran away.
"Oh, I can finally have a good meal."
After finishing breakfast in ten minutes, Werther was about to go back to the bedroom to rest, when Tom came over and said softly: "Your Highness, the financial officer is here to see you."
Werther raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why is Colin here? Didn't I pay him a salary?"
"I don't know either. You should go and have a look."
"Well, I'll go right away."
As soon as Werther walked over, Colin stood up from his chair, pretended to salute respectfully, and then said: "I haven't seen His Highness for many days. I wonder how your Highness is doing these days."
"It's okay, how about you?"
"Everything is fine at home. It's just..."
Colin looked a little hesitant, his eyes glancing at the ground from time to time.
"What happened?" Werther asked.
"Actually, Your Highness, what I want to say is that I am the financial officer of Dawn Town, and the money for running Dawn Town should be entrusted to me for safekeeping, but Your Highness takes the taxes in his own hands. This is against the rules."
Colin stared at Werther, observing his reaction. His sly look looked very suspicious.
Werther was shocked. He had never thought that Colin would come over and talk to him about this matter in person. The reason why Werther did not let him manage the money and property in Daybreak Town was because
It's because he is from Mrs. Agnes's side, not to mention that Werther no longer believes in his character.
The current situation is that Werther just pays him his salary as usual, and as for the money and materials, he and Tom are responsible for taking care of it. Today, Colin suddenly proposed to manage the tax money and materials of Daybreak Town. I don't know what he wants to do.
"There is no need to manage money and property matters now. I have distributed the few gold coins I have to various workshops for business operations." Witte planned to fool around. "As for letting you manage money and property matters again, there will be a chance in the future.
talk later."
Colin's eyes suddenly looked strange, as if they were sinister and cunning.
"Your Highness, do you really have no money now?" His tone revealed distrust.
"Of course there is no money." Werther spread his hands.
"Then where did your Highness get the money to build the Star Tower?" Colin asked.
"I paid on credit," Werther lied.
Colin said in shock: "In order to build the Star Reaching Building for eating, drinking and having fun, His Highness actually went on credit. The wages of so many workers, building materials, and the decoration money inside are estimated to cost hundreds of gold coins. His Highness wants to take such credit
How much does it cost?”
Werther said nothing, just nodded.
Colin smiled: "How is it possible? I don't believe what His Highness said at all. His Highness has so many gold coins on credit, and it will take a long time to pay them back. Since His Highness has really started building the Star Reaching Tower, it means that His Highness has a lot of gold coins."
Of gold coins.”
Werther thought to himself, he must not let go at this time, otherwise Colin would really know that he had a lot of gold coins. He probably understood now that Colin knew that he could not get money or things from Werther, so he
I didn't come here for this matter at all, but I came here specifically to find out how many gold coins Werther had.
Duke Dark knows that the vampires are about to attack, and maybe Mrs. Alice knows about it now. They may have guessed that the Star Reaching Tower is a defense tower, and they are likely to do some damage in this matter.
.Thinking of this, Werther could not reveal that he had more than five hundred gold coins.
Witte thought about it again, pretended to be anxious, frowned, and lied: "Oh, I never thought that it would be difficult for me to pay off these gold coins, but I have already made a credit, and the construction of the Star Building has begun.
Well, what should I do?"
He pretended to suddenly realize again: "I remembered it. Do you have any remaining gold coins? Lend me two hundred!"
Colin looked at Werther in surprise, couldn't help but stepped back a few steps, rolled his eyes, and said: "Since His Highness has no money, next time His Highness collects the taxes, you can hand them over to me for safekeeping."
"Now I don't know how to pay back the credit, and I'm not in the mood to think about taxes in the future. Let's talk about it later." Werther covered his eyes with one hand and waved the other hand in the air.
"Then I'll take my leave, Your Highness." Colin saluted quickly, glanced at Werther secretly, then turned and left.
Werther breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa. He finally dealt with Colin and hid the fact that he had a lot of gold coins. Now that they had begun to inquire about his information, they had to be even more careful. Fortunately, the people on Duke Dark's side
The content of the letter written by Werther to the king will not be spread, otherwise the vampire prince will know about their defense.
"They probably won't tell anyone. After all, they are worried that their father will blame him." Werther leaned his head on the back of the sofa and looked at the ceiling.
Suddenly strong sleepiness hit him, and he muttered to himself: "I must go back to sleep now."
