There is a three-story inn not far away. It is a very famous luxury inn in Beerspa City. It not only provides accommodation, but also special food and song and dance performances. You can listen to and watch all kinds of beauties while eating. It was raining outside, but the inn was very lively.At this time, there were three men sitting at the table near the window, and there were two hot beauties beside them, serving wine and dishes.“It's rare to come out and enjoy it during the day. We won't be able to get home until we get drunk after this meal…” A man in a navy blue short jacket greeted him with hip-hop: “Drink up! I'm treating you today, so don't be polite…”One of them shook his head with a wry smile and said: “Hector, I drank a few bowls with other brothers last night. I drank again in the morning, but I couldn't bear it…” he said.How can he compare with young people at such an old age? Nowadays, the people in the Royal Knights Hall are really like wolves and tigers. They dri
Selena hurried into the house, just as Jose rushed back after hearing the news. The father and daughter entered their mother's room with anxious faces. They saw Maria lying on the bed, her face a little pale, but she had woken up and was in better spirits. Selena couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw this. She had already lost her mother once in her previous life and could no longer withstand such a blow. She held back her tears and knelt down on the bedside, holding her mother's hand with both hands.Jose was also extremely anxious and quickly asked his servant to fetch a doctor. The doctor had been practicing medicine for 30 years, and his beard was all gray. He was panting all the way. He thought someone was seriously ill.After the diagnosis, the old doctor breathed a long sigh of relief. Then he started to pack up his medicine box and said, “Mrs. Maria is pregnant, but she was in poor health before. It's not advisable to move frequently during this period.”It took a whi
Ms. Kinsworth and Eleanor were already dressed up. Mrs. Kinsworth's banquet dress was extremely luxurious, with a floor-length silk skirt embellished with gold and silver threads and pearls. The neckline is inlaid with gems, and the wide sleeves flow like flying feathers. Her waist is cinched with thin gold chains to outline her curves, and she wears various jewelry on her head.Eleanor's woolen dress is trimmed with gold, her waist is embellished with emerald stones, and she wears a flower crown. She is also cute and beautiful. Although Selena's clothes are simple, her embroidered tight top shows off her slender neck and waist, her long sleeves are flowing and graceful, and her fresh and elegant makeup makes her look like a fairy descending into the world. She secretly thinks that no wonder her son is attracted to her. As a woman, she also loves Selena's slim figure and charming face.Thinking about it this way, Maria loves her daughter very much, and the dowry will definitely be nume
Following the maid's scream, Selena immediately felt a heat on her back, and the maid's scream immediately attracted the attention of the supervisor. Seeing that the servant was causing trouble, the supervisor immediately kicked her out and prepared new clothes for someone to take Selena to the dressing room to change.This dress absorbed water very quickly, and she had no time to say anything, so she had to follow others to the dressing room at the back. In the room, Mariana helped herself take off the wet clothes and smelled the fishy smell on the clothes. Selena had never hated fish soup even more than at this moment. After putting on the clothes prepared by the master, both the master and the servant were shocked.The dress should belong to Alina. The skirt is fine, but the top is a bit too small. Although she looks similar to Selena in body shape, Selena's breasts are much fuller than Alina's. The breasts were squeezed extremely full.Although I finally put it on, the breasts were
She is indeed very resistant to Lucio, and this feeling is really complicated. Maybe it was because when his family was ruined, she didn't lend a helping hand, but instead broke off the engagement privately. Also, she felt guilty about the insulting words he said to him when he was young and ignorant…All these things added up…all in all made Selena uneasy. She carefully recalled what she had heard from someone when she first met this man. When he came back in her previous life, he seemed to be the leader of the Royal Knights of the King. He has countless privileges, and he is the famous person next to the king. No one except the king dares to give orders to him.I don’t know how many people wanted to curry favor with him at that time, but even the Earl treated him with great enthusiasm like a brother. The clearer her memory became, the more frightened Selena became. She didn’t know if she was wearing too little clothes and caught a cold, but her legs were a little weak.Don't bully a
Selena felt uncomfortable because of his cold voice. When she saw the man's face clearly, it was not just uncomfortable. She was obviously trembling with fear, not because of the cold, but because she tried every means to avoid the man, who was squatting on it leisurely at this time, his eyes like a hunter patrolling his territory and watching the trapped prey.Originally, Selena was a little excited when she heard someone's voice, thinking that someone finally came to save her. When she saw the person's face clearly, she just hoped that he would not add insult to injury.Just listening to what he said just now, she knew that he wished he was even more unlucky. It was really annoying. Now that it had happened, Selena wiped the tears on her face instead. She couldn't help gritting her teeth and secretly thought, even if she froze to death here, she wouldn't beg him. Even though she is a girl, she still has some backbone.Then he continued to sit on his dirty clothes, hugged his legs, tu
Duffin? After putting on her shoes, Selena thought about it. How could she not know that her step-grandmother's neighbor used to have a shop in the city, but she heard that the Duffin family, which was originally prosperous, lost its shop overnight and their house collapsed two years ago."And the Carlos Rodríguez family in Kulla Village?" the deep voice continued.The Rodríguez family? Selena's expression changed when she finally realized what was going on. She also knew about Rodríguez, who was the friend of Lucio's father back then. According to many people, the fire in Lucio's house was accidentally set by the naughty little son of the Rodríguez family. Now I heard that It was said that the whole family had moved away a long time ago, and there was no news after leaving the village. Later, some people said that they encountered a flood on the road and the entire family drowned."And the Garcia family in Kulla Village..." Lucio said while looking at her with a half-smile.The more S
Only then did Selena react and looked at the man with some fear. Wasn't this the same words she made when she scolded him? It’s not that she regrets how unpleasant her scolding was, I just thought that after so many years, this person still remembered it verbatim, she knew that he would definitely not let her go. What should she do?As if he was satisfied with her fear, Lucio reached out and stroked Selena's smooth and soft hair, lowered his head and slowly approached her, and threatened softly: "It took a lot of effort for me to get to where I am today. Do you think I will let go of those who harmed me in the first place?" Do you look down on me? You knew what happened to the Duffin family who pretended to save me but then turned around and reported on me…""Since you hate me so much, why did you pull me out of the pit just now? Wouldn't it be better for you to let me freeze to death?" Selena was so frightened that she cried out, her voice trembling. There was no time to regret what s
At this moment, she was both shocked and afraid, too late to think about how the fire started. Her mind was in chaos, and her last thought was of the child in her belly. She felt her heart and courage shattered, tears streaming down uncontrollably, but soon they were dried up by the flames.As the fire grew bigger and bigger, she felt surrounded and trapped in the inferno. Despair engulfed her, and even though she covered her nose and mouth with a wet cloth, she knew she couldn't hold out for long in the intense heat. Looking at the piled blankets on the bed and thinking of the flesh and blood in her womb, Selena gritted her teeth. She was determined to fight, either to burn to death or to escape alive with her child.Just as she took a few steps back, preparing to close her eyes and charge forward, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang, as if someone had kicked it from outside. A figure rushed in.The comer was none other than Lucio, who had been too busy to come home for dinn
The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room as Selena and Lucio got up early to prepare for a special day — the baptism ceremony of Selena's brother, Adrés. Selena wore an exquisite dress, smiling as she held hands with Lucio in the carriage, feeling full of anticipation.The carriage slowly made its way through the streets of the town and soon arrived at the church. The baptism ceremony proceeded solemnly and warmly, with family members gathering together to witness this special moment. Adrés was cleansed with holy water, appearing incredibly sacred and pure. Selena and Lucio felt immensely happy and content in their hearts.After the ceremony, the family gathered together to enjoy a lavish lunch, with the table filled with various delicacies. However, when it was Selena's turn to taste the food, she felt nauseous and had no appetite, hardly able to eat anything. Her face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, indicating obvious discomfort.L
Perhaps feeling refreshed and comfortable without any sweat on his body, the man nodded in agreement. Selena supported his arm and helped him lean against the edge of the bed, although he didn't really need her help, as he was able to prop himself up with his own arm strength. With her limited strength, she couldn't even move his body.After a while, when the meal was brought in, Selena smelled the aroma of the food and heard the man's stomach growling with hunger. She couldn't help but smile, knowing that hunger was a sign of improvement in his condition. These days, he had only consumed some thin porridge and a bellyful of medicinal soup. Selena instructed Mariana to place the meal on the low table by the bed.Then, she uncovered the lid of the soup bowl. A person who had just recovered from a serious illness would have a weak digestive system and would need something soft and easy to digest. Today, she had the kitchen prepare some meat congee, where the meat had been stewed until it
The wound continued to bleed, and despite applying pressure, the bleeding wouldn't stop. After a moment, Mariana brought the Achillea millefolium powder Selena had prepared. Selena then poured some hot water into a porcelain bowl and mixed in all the miraculous water droplets she had generated earlier with the Achillea millefolium powder, creating a paste. She then cleaned the wound and applied a thick layer of the paste before covering it with a white cloth, repeating the process for the other wounds.When the two of the king's physicians arrived, Selena had already cleaned her hands. The older and younger physicians opened their medical kits and proceeded to examine the wounds. The older physician, pinching the paste on the wound with his fingers, turned to Selena and asked, “Madam, who dressed this wound?”Selena, feeling a bit embarrassed about her crude dressing, replied anxiously, “I did. Seeing the severe bleeding, I was in a hurry and used the common method my father often used
Jose and Maria, being kind-hearted, had softened their anger considerably after having a son, knowing they now had an heir. They simply hoped Antonio would return the money from the stolen materials. However, Selena believed that such parasites should be punished severely, as otherwise, the employees in the shop might follow suit. So, she instructed Thomas to submit the relevant evidence to the police station. Despite Tasilla returning the stolen goods and Antonio being sentenced to a year in prison.With the arrival of the cruel summer, the days became hotter and more stifling. Selena visited her mother and little brother every day, but even with the carriage available, she ended up sweating profusely due to the heat. Upon returning, she had no desire to go anywhere else, she just wanted to rest on a bench by the window with a water basin to cool off and a novel in hand. She spent the afternoons comfortably, sipping flower tea and enjoying some snacks.However, one day, while she was
Although it was daytime, the room remained dim with the doors and windows closed. Several candles were lit for illumination. Inside, the room echoed with the sounds of painful groans, causing Jose, pacing outside, to feel increasingly uneasy. He had skipped meals from noon until now. The sounds from inside were getting weaker, and as Jose watched the servants pour out basin after basin of blood water, his heart clenched.However, more anxious than Jose was Selena. Originally, her mother still had half a month before giving birth. Her health had been good, but unexpectedly, she went into labor prematurely. The newly prepared home was not ready for occupancy, so they had to make do with delivering the baby here. Due to the lack of preparation, the room had to be hastily cleaned. Probably due to the shock, her mother's condition was not good. Holding her hand, Selena could see it turning pale.Thankfully, Jose had arranged for three midwives in advance. Two of them were older and experien
Selena watched as the woman waved her arms in excitement and cursed loudly. Suddenly, Selena interjected coldly, “If what you say is true, it makes sense. However, this matter concerns only Antonio, and whether innocent or not, he must come personally to confront our family. What does it mean for a woman with a child to be here? Why isn't the principal involved party present?”With these words, those who were initially confused about what was happening suddenly understood. They pointed and murmured among themselves, and the neighbors knew that José's family had a flower field. Every year, they receive about a hundred carts of flowers. It was rumored that the caretakers of the field were a peasant family, which before used to be their neighbors.Apparently, they discovered that this peasant family was selling the flowers from their own field to someone else. As a result, they angrily demanded compensation, but the man of the family did not dare to show up and sent his wife with the chil
After Lucio set off on his mission, Selena found herself at a loose end. Suddenly, she realized that since getting married, her life had been completely dominated by Lucio. Now, with all this free time, she felt a bit uncomfortable with this sudden change. Selena quickly instructed Mariana to bring out the account books from all the shops to audit them; she needed to find something to occupy herself.As she pored over the books in the room, Mariana fanned her, and though there was an ice basin beside the chair keeping her cool, the task of going through the books required concentration, and Selena still felt a bit sweaty around the nose. Originally, she had no idea how to do these things, but there were some things she couldn't avoid learning, as an owner who can't understand the accounts is easily fooled by the employees.After going through two or three books, Mariana came in and said that Thomas had sent a message saying there were problems at the store. Selena's first reaction was
Selena and Lucio returned home and rested for two days to recover from their journey. Lucio went back to work, and Selena, realizing she hadn't seen her parents in a while, decided to visit them the next day.Approaching the familiar gates, Selena's heart was filled with nervousness and joy. She couldn't wait to see her family again, eager to share the sights and experiences they had encountered during their trip to Jarll.As the evening approached, Maria insisted that Selena stay for dinner before heading home. Selena, realizing she hadn't had a relaxed chat with her parents in a long time, agreed to stay a little longer.Unexpectedly, halfway through dinner, Lucio walked in with a grim expression. He had come home and didn't find Selena there, and seeing that it was getting dark, and she hadn't returned, he got worried and came looking for her. He breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Selena happily chatting with Maria.Jose greeted Lucio and instructed the servants to fetch the uten
