Baymond should be glad that there are merchants operating within his jurisdiction, which has attracted many people to live in the jurisdiction. The country collects taxes according to the statistics, which is more in line with the previous national conditions.

Some areas have more people, so naturally the nobles are rich. There are more people in the area, and the nobles in the area have gradually become poor. The extravagant attitude towards life conflicts with the decreasing personal income. They can only maintain a luxurious life by selling the manor.

But after all, he is still a qualified nobleman, who regards dignity and prestige more than anything else, and the sacred and inviolable concept of hierarchy is unbreakable.

Of course, this little episode is extremely important to Becky's future, but in Becky's eyes, this is nothing compared to the upcoming banquet and is simply insignificant. She only knows that Yu Lian left before she even arrived at the place, which is a shameful demeanor.

Baymond was still thinking, and things were developing in a direction he had never thought of.

The carriage still advanced and stopped about one thousand meters away from the palace. Here, there was a sentry of the King's Guard.

The young officer stopped the carriage, and the guard soldiers behind him were very leisurely, leaning against the built pavilion, as if chatting.

Several of the soldiers saw a carriage coming, and looked up at the back of the curtains that the carriage lifted, then shook their heads in disappointment and continued their chat.

This made Becky very upset. Shouldn’t women and children get the attention they deserve?

"It's you, Mr. Baymont!"

The officer greeted him enthusiastically, glanced at the car casually, without any extra checks, and waved his hand to let go.

Baymond nodded, lowered the curtain, and the carriage shook again.

From here, the road is bright and the lights on both sides are hanging high, and they are divided into completely different scenery from the booth.

Becky happily counted the lights on the roadside, one after another, ending at the fiftieth.

Just after being taken off the carriage, the musicians in the corners of both sides had already started playing. They had prepared early and started as soon as the guests got off the car. The guests left and stopped.

These musicians are one of the problems that Becky doesn't understand very much. Why did he obviously have to learn piano, but his father didn't allow him to play on stage? It's very contradictory and confused.

Several people surrounded the family all at once. The men shook hands and hugged each other cordially, and walked forward with greetings, and had been hiding in the main entrance of the palace.

Becky thought about it, then, what should I do next?

It seemed that there was nothing she had to do now, and there was no one she had to follow. She strongly doubted whether she was free.

Then, she opened her eyes and stared at her mother tightly, her little eyes that were pleading flashed.

Her mother naturally would not agree, but today is exceptional, and a few ladies have come here.

So, my mother squatted down and said seriously and seriously: "Go, but don't run too far. You must ensure that you can see me at any time, and that I must find you at any time."

"no problem!"

Becky jumped and ran, and ran very fast.

By the time her mother finally had time to remember this daughter, Becky had run away.

If you look above the castle, you will see a small shadow passing by randomly. The black shadow cast by the light on the ground is sometimes hidden in the darkness, sometimes stretched out, and sometimes it becomes an oval circle.

The little girl went back and forth outside the palace for a long time, but even though she kept running in one direction, she could not leave the palace.

The energetic girl was calm. She was completely lost and had already left the noise without realizing it. She arrived at a place where she couldn't tell what she was doing, but it looked like a garden.

With Becky as the dividing line, behind her are countless lights and men and women who are blurred by lights, and in front is a dark garden with hidden and invisible ends.

A full hour passed, and she didn't expect to go back now. She finally came out to have fun once, so she couldn't just lose money.

Moreover, the dark garden is a good place to explore, so she took the courage to walk deeper.

When the first step into the ground of the garden, the little girl immediately regretted it. The ground was very muddy and her new shoes were overwhelmed helplessly. At this moment, she thought she might as well let it go.

At the same time, she heard subtle footsteps from far to near.

Because of the experience of being educated, Becky no longer cared about mud and hurriedly hid in the flowers. Her little body was just covered by the flowers after squatting down.

She just hid inside like this, excited and nervous, listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

Gradually, as the footsteps approached, the sound of metal collisions also came. Through the flowers, the light was vaguely visible, which was the light of the torch.

Becky, hiding in the dark, clearly saw a team of guards coming. The leaders were holding torches, and the following were each carrying several wooden barrels, carrying rifles on their backs.

Becky's little heart pounded, her eyes slowly crossed the guard's face, staring at the night sky, and her eyes began to float away.

The moon is very round tonight, and even the stars in the sky are bright and moving. The glow from the moon looks inexplicably chilling, very cold.

The guards did not notice the little girl who was only a few steps away and left calmly.

But Becky couldn't come back to her senses from the stars in the sky. She always felt that the stars tonight were very special, as if something important was going to happen in the dark.

The guards finally walked away. Becky slowly came to his senses and hurriedly left his hiding place. Then, he followed the guards by a devil, making this adventure more exciting.

Just in case, she also took off her shoes very cleverly and stepped on the cold ground barefoot, which not only lowered the sound, but also helped to get rid of the mud on the shoes.

However, the floor is really cool, and it looks exactly like the thick carpet in the house.

The guards did not notice the small stalker behind them and continued to walk forward.

They walked around the garden and finally stopped on a stone ground.

This place is obviously higher than other locations, forming a large encirclement around the ground, and then an iron fence is made into square holes one by one, which are used for drainage of the palace.

The guard stopped there, and the leader used a torch to close the hole and shone it inside, yelling irritably: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

There was no response in the place where he shouted, which made him very angry. He grabbed the guards behind and poured something into it.

Becky was a little puzzled. The garbage that looked like leftover rice was dumped. Are there any animals in it?

The guard poured half of the barrel like an vent, kicked the iron fence hard, and then walked towards the next one.

This time, he was also searching for a photo with a torch. There was a man behind the fence that was only tall at his calf, and his face was almost against the fence.

Becky was stunned and was half dead by the unreasonable scene in front of him, and almost screamed out in shock.

The head behind the fence was a man who could not tell the age, with long hair scattered and his face full of filth.

His eyes gradually adapted to the light of the torch, locked onto Becky at the first time, and then there was a ghost-like fearful smile.

It is hard to imagine that he can see the little girl following behind clearly in the dark.

Becky couldn't help it anymore, she screamed, turned around and ran away.
