After a long struggle and countless nights of vigilance, I was finally able to sleep well.

All the suffering is finally over.

With the help of the Duke of Bourbon, the Kingdom of France redeemed the Sibot family.

Although it cost a lot of money, the Xibo family's century-old cellar is still affordable.

The Doria family and the Sibo family also reconciled.

Although the old Sibo could not return to the city of Liguria, several other members of the Sibo family resumed their public duties in the Republic of Liguria.

Part of the Sibo family's property in the Republic of Liguria was also recovered.

She lived in France with old Cibot, and she became the darling of the Paris court.

He was at ease between King Francois and the Duke of Bourbon.

The light boats rippled in the Seine, and the majestic Shire horses galloped on the great plains of Brittany.

It's just that occasionally I still miss him, and sometimes I still miss him.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

Wait, who is he?

What's his name?

I really want to forget this name.

But I really can't forget this name.

Suddenly the sunshine on the outskirts of Paris disappeared without a trace.

The world has become extremely cold.

A basin of ice water destroyed Anna's dream world.

"Ladislaus!"

After opening her eyes again, Anna shouted out the name that she could not forget.

But why is his face suddenly so clear?

'Wait a minute, why can't I move?'

This is not Paris on the Seine, the center of the Capetian family's rule. It is the gateway to Vienna on the Danube, the center of the Habsburg family's rule.

Compared to the feeling of restraint on his body, what was even more incredible was the sight in front of him. Ladislaus was actually dressed like a cardinal.

Of course, this is still not the point. What is really incredible is the person who is talking to him.

"Praise you for your piety, Your Highness Ladislaus. These two remnants of the Sibo family tried to collude with the King of France to disrupt the harmony and stability of the Holy Roman Empire. It is really a heinous crime. Ever since I saw through the despicable face of the French King, I have always regarded it as sacred.

We consider ourselves loyal ministers of the Roman Empire, so we certainly cannot sit back and let their evil intentions succeed.”

The Duke of Bourbon, who had always shown himself to be gentle and elegant, now had a flattering smile on his face that Anna could not believe. He spoke words that Anna could not understand at all.

"Mind magic or illusion?" Anna blurted out.

"I think the Duke of Bourbon switched sides and we fell into a trap." Knight Cassano is much stronger than Anna, and he woke up on his own long ago.

His voice was full of despair and helplessness, but not much resentment.

It is also natural that anyone who has experienced this big turning point will feel a little resigned to fate.

Anna didn't struggle. She also realized that both she and Cassano were tied up with high-level strengthening ribs specially designed to restrain strong men, and her spell slots were of course cleared.

Even if she is not emptied, Anna does not intend to resist, which is obviously meaningless.

Anna avoided Ladislaus's gaze and lowered her head.

Compared to the threat of death, she was even less willing to look into those eyes that had been filled with passionate emotion for twenty years.

There was no desire, no anger or malice in those eyes at this time. Nothing.

The boy next door who once made her smile for a whole day was completely devoured by the bloody storm of the world in the Sistine Chapel.

The Duke of Bourbon obviously did not know Anna's role in the drama that had just passed, and Ladislaus certainly had no intention of telling him.

"Thank you very much for your help. The great Holy Roman Empire thanks you. Sirica, I leave it to you." Ladislaus immediately turned away and entered Vienna with the Duke of Bourbon.

In fact, it is wrong to say that Ladislaus had no emotional fluctuations at all because of Anna.

In a rare move today, he replaced "I" with "the great Holy Roman Empire."

Power can fill the lost soul.

When Ladislaus and the Duke of Bourbon go to the palace for lunch, Anna is thrown into the dungeon.

With the help of the Duke of Bourbon, all the remaining members of the Sibot family finally met.

The dungeon in Vienna is very huge, and the Sieber family, with several large families and dozens of people, only occupies a small part of it.

Seeing Anna, who was locked in several other cubicles, Old Xibo and other members of the Xibo family realized that now they could not expect anyone to rescue them.

Several people even started to cry loudly. Anna who had escaped had always been their last hope.

When she got here, Anna was convinced that Ladislaus would never be soft on the members of the Sibot family. Even the former consul, Old Sibot, was not treated as an aristocrat at all, and everyone only had a prison uniform.

Throw Anna into the dungeon first, then Boss Sirica will sneak out Old Siboti.

The dignified Archon has been tortured to the point of being reduced to a human form.

"There is no need to torture me anymore, since my daughter has also been caught by you. What's the use of keeping the key." Once Anna was caught, there was no point in Lao Xibo's resistance to torture. "The money of the Xibo family

, I’ll give it all to you.”

Old Cibot could no longer hold a pen. From his dictation, a jailer recorded more than a dozen accounts, including those of the Fugger Textile Association and the Medici Bank.

"Mr. Sirica, these accounts can be accessed as long as the keys are matched. The remaining accounts recognize both the person and the key. Without the blood of the Xibo family, they cannot be redeemed. I

My daughter and I have sinned so deeply that they cannot be redeemed by death, but my brother’s two little granddaughters are not sensible at all. Please be sure to talk to His Royal Highness the Cardinal, and please be patient with these two children. They do not need to know that they are

Descendants of the Xibo family, I am willing to take out all my money and donate it to the Warlock Royal Family."

After hearing what Old Xibo said, Lao Xibo's two cousins, their wives and children, that is, the grandparents and parents of the two infant girls, also begged Sirica.

"Please be more generous, sir."

"They are just children, they don't know who they are."

"I'm willing to serve you. I can serve you however I want. Please let my daughter go."

Amidst the cries and begging, Boss Silica left without saying a word.

He no longer beat and ridiculed Lao Xibo as he did a few days ago. It was no longer necessary.

The stainless steel door slowly closed, taking away all the light and all hope.

Boss Sirica immediately sent several groups of people to various financial institutions to withdraw all the money they could.

He is not worried about accounts that require Lao Xibo's certification. Banks may resist when they can hide it.

In this case, this procedural problem is a minor annoyance.
