More than a hundred soldiers followed Johnny to the servants' quarters to arrest people. Tarantot expected that Zhou Xingyun would object.
To be honest, when Tarantot promised Zhou Xingyun to keep his army, I really didn’t expect that Holier would actually hand over all the women in the paradise, including Xiao Xiaosai and all the candidates for the imperial concubine, to Zhou Xingyun for unified management.
.
Only later did Tarantot learn that the army commanded by Zhou Xingyun was not only soldiers from the Principality of Cheryl, but also people from Paradise.
"You said I didn't understand my position clearly? What do you mean?" Zhou Xingyun stared at Tarantot angrily. This guy was trying to ruin his good deeds again.
Just now Zhou Xingyun was confronting Johnny, and when he saw that his momentum was overwhelming the other's, and he was about to make Johnny retreat, the Thunder God Emperor came to ruin his good deeds again.
This is not the first time. If Tarantot hadn't suddenly come to Harbor City, Zhou Xingyun could have reached an agreement with Tina and others to make Harbor City a special neutral zone.
"Didn't your Excellency Zhou Xingyun understand? Or are you still pretending to be confused? They are all slaves raised by the Essilans Empire, not soldiers under your command. Now they are serving as soldiers under your command because Holier temporarily transferred them to
Handed over to your management, in fact, they are the property of the Esilans Empire, and we have the right to take back our slaves from you."
"We are residents of the paradise! We are not slaves!" the women of the paradise said quickly. Like the little girls in the paradise, they did not know their situation. They did not know that the purpose of keeping them in the paradise was to provide elegance to the imperial aristocracy.
, beautiful, high-quality slave girl with great temperament.
"That's why I say you all haven't figured out where you stand."
Tarantot sighed softly, feeling very disappointed with the women in the paradise. They were slaves of the empire, but they had no consciousness at all and actually followed outsiders.
"No, Lord Tarantot, you have misunderstood. I am the daughter of the Glenn family, not a slave." A woman stepped forward and revealed her identity to the Thunder God Emperor.
At first, when they heard Johnny say that she was a slave girl, the women in the paradise were confused and didn't understand what the other party meant by her words.
Now that the Thunder God Emperor had made his words clear, they finally came to their senses and reported their names one by one.
"The family you talk about is just the people who adopted you in name and covered up your identity. Think about it, you have lived in the paradise for so long, have any family members seen you? Not to mention your life experience, they are all for promotion.
Your temperament is tailor-made, even if you are really the daughter of a noble family, your family cannot be your salvation."
"You are lying! This is impossible!" When the woman in Paradise learned the truth from Tarantot, she felt very broken and at the same time felt very ridiculous.
They couldn't believe Tarantot's words, but they vaguely realized that what he said was true.
One is the great aristocrat of the Esilans Empire, who is known as the Thunder God Emperor of the Empire. There is no need for a big man with such a noble status to lie to them by saying these things.
Second, as Tarantot said, they have lived in the paradise since they were young, and their memories of their families are very vague, as if they do not exist. There are only a few letters sent to them every year, but they have never visited them in the paradise.
In the past, women in Paradise didn't notice anything was wrong, because they lived in a very closed environment. Everyone said that Paradise was a paradise. In order for their families to grow up well, they sent them to Paradise to live and study. Their families had to work, so they only
It is normal to send letters of condolences to them.
Ever since, the women in Paradise thought this was normal and never doubted whether their family members were real.
"No, we didn't lie to you. You are the daughter of a noble family and our captive slaves. At least in name you are all noble ladies. If you are dirty untouchables, we have no need to train and keep you in captivity.
." Tarantot said lightly.
"No... I'm not a slave! How could I be a slave? Your Majesty the Thunder God Emperor, please don't tease us, okay?" A woman from the paradise forced herself to smile calmly, as if she wanted to treat what she just heard as a
joke.
"You have no value in teasing. Who would joke with a slave?" Tarantot gave the woman a disgusted look.
Although the women in the paradise are all beauties carefully selected by the empire, Tarantot is not interested in these glamorous women.
Or perhaps, Tarantot is the only two emperor-level warriors in the Esilans Empire, and he has no shortage of beautiful women at all.
Unless a woman can rival Xun Xuan, who has conquered the country and conquered the world, her beauty alone will not be able to arouse his interest at all.
"If they who live in paradise are all slaves, then who are we?"
Reiko, who was next to Xiaosai, bravely asked Tarantot.
In Zhou Xingyun's eyes, Lizi is a very well-behaved and gentle little girl, a typical good girl, a lady who is never naughty.
Although Xiao Xiaosai is very sensible, he is still a bit naughty when getting along with Zhou Xingyun, and he often uses his invincible and all-powerful smile to get through.
The same goes for little Sai Sai when he grows up. He is mature, steady, and well-behaved, but with a hint of naughty. He often pretends to be silly with a charming smile, which makes Zhou Xingyun feel more comfortable.
Little Sai Sai's sweet smile can redeem Zhou Xingyun from his busy life. Her occasional coquettishness and cuteness make her approachable and approachable, making Zhou Xingyun reluctant to leave.
Seluvinia's strength is unfathomable. She is powerful enough to give Zhou Xingyun a sense of peace of mind. Zhou Xingyun even believes from the bottom of his heart that as long as Seluvinia is by his side, he doesn't have to be afraid even if the sky falls.
However, such a powerful Seluvinia never made Zhou Xingyun feel a sense of awe, because she was steady and skinny, and would reveal her weak side in Zhou Xingyun's arms.
Lizi is different. She is a very serious girl. When doing things, she is even more rigorous and serious than Wei Suyao.
The difference between Lizi and Wei Suyuan is that she is very good at getting along with others.
Xiao Suyao's social ability is 0 points, while Reiko's social ability is 90 points. Keep 10 points so that she won't be proud.
Reiko is not a well-spoken girl, but her well-behaved personality, easy-going temper, considerate style, and elegant words and deeds make her very popular with everyone.
Let me introduce Reiko in the simplest way. Not only is she the type of student that the teachers love most, she has good grades, a good personality, a top student, the top student who ranked first in this exam, she is also the most loved by her classmates.
That type of class leader is friendly and easy to talk to. She will copy your homework for you, let you read the test papers, take the initiative to help you with the cleaning, and turn a blind eye when you skip class, and is willing to help you hide it from the teacher.
From a certain perspective, Reiko is an almost perfect girl, just like Xiaosai.
When Zhou Xingyun manages the little cuties in the paradise, Lizi is undoubtedly the one who listens to him the most.
Why does Zhou Xingyun think that Li Zi is a little less successful than Xiao Xiaosai? That's because Li Zi is too serious about things and fails to understand the true meaning of "muddle through".
Today, Reiko mustered up the courage to stand up for the women of Paradise, and asked Tarantot what the candidates for imperial concubines living in Paradise meant to the aristocracy of the empire.
It was probably Xiaosai who told Reiko the truth, so she wanted to confirm it clearly.
A few nights ago, Reiko discovered that Xiao Xiaosai was worried, so she wanted to share her worries with her.
Xiao Xiaosai originally planned to tell everyone the truth, but Zhou Xingyun suddenly broke into the house and had a pillow fight with the little girl from the paradise, and the matter ended in nothing.
Afterward, Reiko asked Xiao Xiaosai why she was worried that night.
Xiaosai then told Reiko the original intention of building a paradise in the Icelands Empire, including what happened to Catherine.
Xiaosai met Catherine by chance in Mayba Castle. At that time, she had become a slave of the old nobleman Caesar, locked in a cage like a domestic animal, and tortured until she became inhuman.
Xiao Xiaosai wanted to rescue Catherine secretly, but she refused because the nobles of the empire controlled her with drugs and she was completely destroyed.
Moreover, Catherine recounted her experience after being expelled from the paradise. She was first summoned by the emperor, and then... like a commodity, she was circulated in the hands of nobles from various countries. After several years of twists and turns, she returned to the Esilans Empire. Some time ago,
Only then did it fall into the hands of the old nobleman Caesar.
Finally, Catherine handed over the necklace she had always cherished to Xiao Xiaosai, and asked her to tell the people in the paradise about her experience, and then...
Catherine asked Xiaosai to kill her because she had no hope of living.
At that time, Xiaosai was very confused. She didn't know what to do. Until the next day, when she secretly visited Catherine again, she found that Catherine was dead. She was tortured to death by the old noble Caesar last night.
Xiao Xiaozai was in the paradise and saw the nobles brutalizing Mary. He instantly became furious and even killed the old nobleman Caesar. It was not just because of Mary...
Catherine's experience caused Xiao Sai to accumulate too many unspeakable negative emotions. When she witnessed a similar situation again, these negative emotions reached the critical point, and Xiao Sai lost her rationality and killed the old aristocrat Caesar in a rage.
Reiko was shocked when she learned everything from Xiao Xiaosai. She couldn't believe that all this was true, but Xiao Xiaosai would not lie to her, and there was no need to lie to her.
Now Reiko heard from Tarantot that the women living in the paradise were all slaves kept in captivity by the empire, which could not help but verify Xiao Xiaosai's words.
Whether for herself or for everyone else, Reiko is determined to ask Tarantot for the truth.
When they were receiving education in the paradise, the instructors were full of benevolence and morality, praising the emperor and the Esilans Empire, but the result was like this?
"Isn't this my fiancée Reiko?" Tarantot suddenly showed a gentle smile: "You are different from them. You are candidates for the imperial concubine. How can you be the same as them?"
"Since you said we were candidates for the imperial concubine, why did you say that I was your fiancée? Besides, we have never met. When did you and I get engaged? I have no idea." Reiko was very confused.
Lantot's words about "fiancée" completely confused her.
