Mysterious Catastrophe - Chapter 501

[Chapter 499 The Countess (6000 Supplements)]

New Year 1028, December.

Alban is a reporter for The Mole.

The Mole is a second-rate Pulmouth local newspaper that mainly publishes business information and tidbits.

Winter in Pulmouth is colder than usual.

Along with other journalists, he has been squatting outside the Mithra Palace for a long time, holding a camera and flash, a stenograph, and a pen with red hands.

He and his colleagues waited silently, like hunters in the jungle, trying to make a big news.

“Whoosh…”

Just as he stomped his feet and breathed into his red hands, a colleague next to him approached: “Alban, do you want a cigarette?”

“thanks!”

Alban took the cigarette and lit it with the opponent’s match. After taking a sip, he felt that the cold on his body seemed to dissipate a lot.

At this time, he heard his counterpart who was handing a match next to him speaking in a doubtful tone: “To be honest… I’m still surprised… His Majesty the King would confer a countess, which is a hereditary title and a permanent seat in the House of Lords. Yes! And… it was passed in Parliament! Could it be that Liliat Sotos is a hidden rich man who bought all the parties and the royal family with one million, or even ten million pounds? ”

The newly created countess is undoubtedly the most explosive news in Pulmouth today. .

Countless businessmen, middle class… all follow her example and envy her good luck.

Even if a little bit of news is published, even the third-rate newspapers will be sold out tomorrow!

“Ha ha……”

Alban blew out a smoke ring gracefully: “As far as I know… the countess did not make political donations, on the contrary… she may still be able to obtain fiefs.”

“A noble who owns real estate and can receive an annuity every year.” His peers were even more envious.

In this era, it is still generally believed that people who get something for nothing, get income from the land annuity, and do not need to use their brains and hands, are the real high-class people!

“And… the surname is Sotos, and the title is also ‘Count of Green Forest’. Could it be the bloodline descendant of the legendary earl in ancient times?”

Another reporter came over, obviously also interested in gossip: “The royal family has found the direct descendants of the Sotos family, and giving the canonization is something that can increase the glory. This is a very good gimmick… You know, the public is very concerned about The deeds of that legendary earl are always very interesting, and it is easy to set off a flashpoint!”

At this time, there was a commotion ahead, and guards came out to maintain order.

Seeing this, Alban immediately threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out, holding a camera and a magnesium powder flash, and squeezed into the crowd.

Unfortunately, his strength is not enough, his physique is not strong enough, and he did not grab the good opportunity at the beginning, so he can only be in the middle and rear position.

For the press spokesman who came out of Mithra Palace, only a little outline can be seen, and there is a vague voice.

‘No…it can’t be! ‘

Alban listened to vague words such as ‘title’ and ‘territory’, and was trying his best to squeeze forward.

Then, he saw the colleagues in front of him suddenly shouting: “Unbelievable!”

“The entire Green Forest City and surrounding areas are designated as territories?”

“It also includes suzerainty over the local nobles? And the right to collect taxes?”

“Is there too many people in the Earl’s Guard? This is the army, right? It must be an army, right?”

“This is not an honor or a court earl at all, even a hereditary earl can’t compare… Is the ancient lord system resurrected?”

Up to now, even the Grand Duke only owns a large amount of real estate in a certain county, and gets a certain income from it every year.

Even, many nobles are secretly selling real estate.

It can be said… this countess has become the largest landowner in the kingdom other than the royal family!

No, if the property of the royal family of Sodom was divided by head, it might not be as good as the countess!

At this moment, a bespectacled lady wearing a noble dress and many coats of arms walked out of the Mithra Palace.

She was not tall and walked lightly towards the carriage.

Alban suddenly felt the crowd go crazy.

A large number of peers were flushed, their collars spread out, like mad beasts, squeezing forward like a tide.

Even his eyes were a little red: “You son of a bitch, don’t squeeze me… The headlines are mine!”

boom!

Alban didn’t notice that there were some depressions on the ground, and the force from behind was so great that he fell to the ground involuntarily, and the camera fell to one side.

Seeing the commotion in the crowd, a stampede was about to occur, and a palace guard behind the countess finally couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted, “Quiet!”

This voice seemed to carry an invisible force, causing the crowd to become quiet in an instant.

Some reporters even raised their hands habitually, as if they had seen the most vicious sheriff or police inspector.

Alban was lucky to have survived without being trampled to death by his peers for grabbing headlines – and his boss wouldn’t give his family much in the way of pensions if that happened.

“As you can see, I am the Earl of Greenwood – Liliat Sotos! The descendant of the ancient Sotos family, I will restore the glory of the family!”

Seeing the frenzied scene of the crowd, Liliat raised her glasses, stopped the movement of getting on the carriage, and made a brief speech in front of the reporters.

Bang bang bang!

The flashing lights that looked like explosions shot out flames and smoke, recording the real face of the new countess of the kingdom on black and white negatives.

“Then…that’s it.”

Looking at the reporters frantically asking questions, Liliat kept a ceremonial smile, turned around and got on the carriage.

“Although the newly promoted countess is short in stature and beautiful in appearance, she is unexpectedly majestic.”

Not knowing at all that he had faced an inhuman existence, he immediately took out his notebook and quickly recorded a piece of news that was either true or that he racked his brains according to his personal performance.

They didn’t know that if they were pressed, maybe Liliat would turn them into ‘living corpses’ that couldn’t speak!

Liliat at this time has been promoted to become a ‘living dead’, an inhuman existence.

She sat back in the carriage and rubbed her eyebrows: “I’m really tired of this day-to-day banquet invitation, court etiquette, and intrigue… Fortunately, everything is finally over, and I can return to Green Forest City.”

Liliat was very proud of it.

The Sotos family, which had fallen, finally regained its glory in her hands!

Just when she put her arms down, she suddenly found a handsome gentleman sitting across from her, who was indescribable in words.

Every feature of his is exceptionally perfect, even beyond the limits of human understanding, but it makes Liliat feel a little familiar.

“you……”

She stared at Aaron, a mist of water appeared in her eyes: “Is it still the Aaron I know?”

“Get to know each other again.”

Aaron showed a smile: “I am Aaron Sotos! The Earl of Greenwood who has abdicated…”
