January 1, 3:00 pm.

Hessen, Tifa and Vima, under the escort of a team of great Hydra Knights, left the Apophis Palace.

All the family guards Hessen brought when he came to Fort Hedra were left to Joe.

Salian had a batch of new-style ordnance to be transported to Tulun Port, and he specially approved the permission to allow Hesen and his daughter to ride on the Gods Chariot to ride.

In a sense, Hesse was able to contact the God's Chariot just after being named Duke, which means he has become a member of the core circle around Salian.

You should know that many founding nobles of the Delun Empire, some real-powered dukes and marquises, did not know the existence of the God's Chariot. However, Hesen was able to take his two daughters to return to Tulun Port on the God's Chariot... This is enough to represent Sally's attitude towards the Weitu family.

Joe blinked and stood behind the gate of the Apophis Palace.

Two court etiquette officials stood beside him, staring straight at Joe's feet - as long as he dared to step out of the Apophis Palace, they would immediately report to Mata XIII.

As for the subsequent punishment...

It depends on the mood of Mata XIII.

"School has been on the start of more than a month." Qiao stood behind the door with his hands on his hips and muttered to himself: "Gorkin was training new troops in the military camp. Hessen and they went back to Tulum Port. They were likely to face the bastards in the Ice Sea Kingdom... What a wonderful life, only I was punished to squat in this... damn, boring palace."

Ferdinand, wearing a razor red pajamas, a green nightcap, and a pair of dark blue velvet slippers, was smiling and stood beside Joe with a red face.

Hearing Joe’s complaint, Ferdinand hugged Joe’s shoulder: “Little bastard, do you say Apophis Palace is boring? Oh, oh, this is because you don’t know the beauty of life yet and haven’t learned to enjoy life yet!”

"Come on, I'll call some old friends over here. We'll go to the cigar room and gather a table of cards, and then drink the best red wine, smoke the best cigar, and play one hundred gold marks one bet."

"After using dinner, we can continue playing cards for a while, and then, I send someone to a high-end club outside and call a group of cute girls over... Ah, dear little bastard, are you... still a pure little boy?"

Joe's face turned red.

He blinked his eyes and stared at Ferdinand with extremely complicated eyes.

Ferdinand's voice became extremely mysterious and erratic: "Dear Joe, are you still a little boy? Oh, hell, you are eighteen years old, and you now have a real Marquis of Lower Lockson as your fief!"

"Hey, those noble little bastards in the imperial capital, at an average age of thirteen, they learned the beauty of life in their maids... and you, you are already eighteen... you actually..."

"Oh, it's so interesting... Believe me, Ferdinand von Heidela Fort, in the name of the Imperial Crown Prince, I will find you a fresh and delicious little girl, let her take you with you, step by step to learn the most wonderful bliss of life, and make you a real man!"

Ferdinand smiled strangely, and he shook Joe's shoulder hard: "Dear little bastard, believe me, as long as you learn to enjoy life, Apophis Palace will be like a heaven."

"Ah, do you know, this is my highest pursuit in life... There is a most magnificent palace, countless fine wines, countless high-end tobacco, and a large number of golden marks that are not only flowers... and the girls who are radiant with their fingers on their doorsteps!"

"As long as you have these... don't talk about Apophis Palace, even the black prison of Blood Kapok Castle..."

He shouted loudly, just talking nonsense, trying to attract Ferdinand to the dandy who was "all the five poisons" and suddenly shut up.

He straightened his waist and became serious.

He coughed heavily, and pretended to be majestic and nodded to the old lady Mary who suddenly appeared at the gate: "Ah, this lady, the weather is good today... Are you here to find Joe? Ahha, you guys, you guys... I suddenly remembered that I had a book yesterday that I hadn't finished reading."

Ferdinand coughed heavily, then patted Joe on the shoulder.

"Joe, as an elder, I must remind you something. Don't waste your time while you are young. Although His Highness Mata punishes you for thinking behind closed doors, this is also a protection for you. Who made you sprinkle George with beer? Do you know, how many nobles of the Ice Sea Kingdom want to be bad for you now?"

"So, although you are thinking about your mistakes behind closed doors, this is also a good opportunity for you to enrich yourself."

"Just like me, last night, I lit a candle and read the 1369 edition of "History of the Continental War", and I read it until the early morning..."

Qiao coughed heavily: "Your Highness, we were all attending the New Year's banquet at Hydra Palace yesterday..."

Ferdinand's expression became more serious: "Of course, yes, yes, obviously, we were all attending New Year's banquet last night...so, I didn't light a candle last night, yes... There is no doubt about it...I just want to tell you that you should read more books while you are young, read more useful books."

"That's right, that's the reason... Don't think about eating and drinking all day long, don't think about playing cards and money all day long, and don't think about mingling with those dirty women all day long!"

"Be a useful person, a noble person, and a person who is free from low-level interests!"

"Joe, I'm very optimistic about you. Yes, you have a bright future and a bright future... Work hard, I believe that you will definitely become a pillar of the empire!"

Ferdinand made a passionate and positive and positive sentence, and then he nodded to Old Lady Mary with a reserved attitude, turned around with a smile, and walked towards the main building of the Apophis Palace step by step with steady aristocratic steps.

The moment he turned around, Ferdinand's face became extremely ugly.

His expression at this moment was as if he was intimate with the girl at the house of his beloved girl, but suddenly he was bitten by the girl's pet dog - the unlucky guy... It was pitch black, gloomy, and a strong sadness that was more than a heartbreaking heart!

"It's strange." Joe looked at Ferdinand's back. He lowered his voice, bent down, smiled at Old Lady Mary, and pointed to his head and whispered: "He, often this... Of course, this has something to do with his long-term alcoholism... In Tulum Port, there are many retired old sailors who drink too much alcohol, and they are often crazy like this."

"Have you handled the matter in your tavern?"

Qiao patted a few snow particles on the shawl of Old Lady Mary: "If it is done, I will ask Mr. Si Gengsi to go through all the procedures... Haha, I will invest in your tavern!"

Old Mrs. Mary tilted her head slightly, looked at Joe with a smile on her face, and suddenly sighed heavily, opened her arms and hugged Joe.

She buried her head in Qiao's arms, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Joe was immediately confused.

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you? Is someone bullying you? Or... Is there something else? Ah, don't cry, don't cry, there's nothing that can't be solved, believe me, there's nothing that can't be solved."

Ferdinand, who seemed to be walking slowly step by step, actually rushed fast, heard Joe's shouting.

He suddenly turned around and looked at Old Lady Mary who was pounced on Joe's arms.

He muttered in a low voice: "Oh...hell...if it's a trouble that she can't solve...that's really a fatal trouble...but what happened? What happened yesterday? Except for Margo's escape... what happened later..."

He patted his head hard, and Ferdinand murmured: "I shouldn't have drunk so much wine. Uh, I forgot to inquire about what happened next."

"But... she actually cried? Ah, ruthless and stern, the "crazy emperor" who had mixed up the entire Medland continent with bloody storms...will you actually cry?"

"The place of right and wrong should not be left for a long time, go quickly, go quickly."

Ferdinand turned around and ran without a trace.

He made up his mind that during the days when Mrs. Mary was serving as a cook in the Apophis Palace... he would definitely stay in seclusion and not show up if he could show up...

Eat, drink, defecation, and urinate all in your room!

If Old Lady Mary doesn't leave, he will never go out!

It's so scary, so scary... Living under the same roof with her... It's really...

Only those who truly know her know how exciting it is to live with her!

It's simply, so exciting!

Joe was still helpless in comforting Mrs. Mary.

Poor Joe, he really has no experience with women. He can't even handle his sister and sister. When he was in Tulum Port, he was bullied by Tifa and Weima for many years...

Tifa used violence to steal his pocket money.

Weima cheated of his pocket money.

How could he comfort an old lady who hugged him and shed tears?

He could only learn... and learn from the scene where Liya comforted him when he was a child, gently patting the back of Mrs. Mary's head, just like a dog, and her thick palm gently stroked the head of Mrs. Mary.

Old Mrs. Mary hugged Joe and shed tears.

She just hugged Qiao like this and kept crying for half an hour.

Joe hugged the old lady like this, stood at the gate of Apophis Palace, gently patted her head, and heard the words, tossed and turned, comforting her with a few dry, pale and powerless words.

"Nothing can't be solved."

"Where, you see, if it can be solved with money, it's not a problem."

"If it cannot be solved with money, we can do it with fists."

"If the fist doesn't work, I can ask Gorkin to pull his men out, and the artillery can solve most of the trouble... This is what Hessen said."

"If artillery is not good, let's go and find His Highness Salian... Haha, if I give him some good things, he will be happy to help us solve some troubles... Hessen said that money, force and power, combined with the three, is the most powerful force in the world."

"There's nothing that can't be solved, what do you think?"

Joe racked his brains to use all the things Hesen said to him, whether appropriate or not, to appease the old lady.

Old Mrs. Mary giggled.

She raised her head gently and shook her head hard.

"Joe, you're a good kid."

"Well, I'm fine, I'm really fine..."

"The relatives at home, who have disobedient children, got into a lawsuit... They may be arrested by the police..."

"However, this is the punishment they deserve."
