1664 Many Thoughts
Great!
Carmen was the group's leader, which was a stark contrast to her cute looks.
If anyone saw the group of witches, one would think of any of the other 4 taller women to be the leader and not a petite woman who looked like she hadn't advanced past the age of 15.
She was short, tiny, and had long pigtails swaying from both sides of her head.
Her lips were blimp and her face filled with freckles which did nothing to hide her good looks.
In a majority of cases, freckles were frowned upon, as clear glass skin was the norm. Those with freckles had powder on their faces during every outing.
It was certainly not a beauty statement for one's face to be riddled with tiny dots. However, in Carmen's case, her freckles complimented her beauty most breathtakingly.
Leaning against the wall, Carmen lifted the blinds and stared out the glass windows with narrowed eyes.
Her Companions also did the same, silently crowding before the other window in wait.
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
Their faces stared between their watches and the window, making several calculations in their hearts.
They had purposefully asked for a room that overlooks the entire front estate with all its fountains, ponds, roads, and open space.
And soon, they saw movements at the estate gates that were too hard to miss.
"She's here!"
~Vrrrrmmmmmm!
Several Baymardian trucks carefully drove in behind several carriages belonging to other guests.
Those driving beside the Baymardian vehicles were pleased and satisfied by how understanding these Baymardians were.
Although the outside world has changed immensely, there are still some jackasses who would purposefully cut the lines because of their superiority.
Yes.
Not everyone supported Baymard's style of handling things. There were still factions scattered within all Pyno empires that wanted to bring the old ways back.
Why should they have to wait in line behind peasants while in traffic?
Why is it only the emergency ambulance wagons that get the roads open for them when they sound their alarms?
Though many wouldn't dare to disrupt the steady flow on the streets, they still couldn't swallow the unfairness of it all.
So when entering such establishments, they always caused trouble, wanting those beneath their statuses to pull to the side and give them way in.
Some people were grateful to the Baymardians, who appeared when one of such people was causing trouble.
A few Baymardian guards stepped out, and 'kindly' asked the nobleman to follow the rules.
It was thanks to this that many could finally drive in without trouble irrespective of their status.
Such a small act from Lucy's entourage was to make their respect for her go up a notch.
Look! If even the Baymardian Queen is lining up behind them then who are you to demand they make way?
Hmph!
Many coachmen and wagon drivers puffed their chests proudly, feeling they were respected as people.
The farmer who was driving his vegetable goods through the estate tunnel underneath the towering walls held his breath and tightened his grip on his horse ropes, knowing the first Baymardian vehicle was right behind him.
Good God!
He has to tell his wife and children about this when he gets home!
(^_^)
.
Carmen watched the Baymardian vehicles drive along the massive estate road until they reached the grand Fountain roundabout at the front.
"Good spot! We should've been able to kill her off now!" One of the women spoke through her teeth, watching Lucy get out of the vehicle.
Damn!
Just give her a poison arrow, and she swears she will be able to tale Lucy out without a synch!
Of course, they weren't the only ones watching the scene.
Many staying in rooms overlooking the front estate view, marveled at Lucy's incredible beauty, as well as her noble demeanor.
Lucy wore a stunning pale pink 2-piece suit skirt and black stockings with heels.
She had a pair of stylish black gloves and simple but expensive earrings that blended in perfectly with her attire.
Oh my God!
How can a woman be so enticing to watch?
~Click. Click. Click!
The professional! Baymardian photographers had already begun taking as many images as they could.
As predicted by the weather forecast today, as well as tomorrow and the day after that, it will be free of rain.
The rains have been falling for more than a week now without rest. It was as though these 3 days were its holiday period before it continued slapping them hard with its tears.
It was because of the many confirmed weather predictions that they chose to begin the Big Rescue now.
At least before the rains come in, they should have gotten enough footage too.
Another aspect they didn't need to worry about was their safety.
Many might think a majority of guards were brought for the queen, but that was far from the truth.
These guards were brought for them and the ministers and a few biologists.
The guards they brought were elites from the barracks and prisons, who were all in the top 400 ranks.
They didn't know how strong these people were. But if his majesty and several people had given the go-ahead for these people to guard their Baymardian technology out of the empire, it meant the guards by their side were by no means average.
One should know that even the Baymardians didn't know the full strength of their military. After all, what one doesn't know can't hurt you.
Don't look down on the number 400. One has to know that Baymard now had tens and thousands of recruits who were all king every day.
What's more, many of these people should probably be out on missions now.
So if you want those in the top 20 lists, maybe they weren't in Baymard at all.
Like that, the film crew and natural geographic channel crew were permitted to film an overview of the city, some monumental places, and many other aspects too.
The full video must include not just Lucy, the guests, and other nobles, but must also capture the opinions and thoughts of the layman.
.
On the windows above ground floor, several people crowded by their windows to watch the famous queen Lucy make her appearance. And among them was a figure no one could expect.
"Damn, bro... That cousin of yours is enjoying a good thing. The videos I've seen of her don't do her justice." Rudolf commented, acknowledging Lucy's beauty.
Sebastian didn't say a thing, staring at Lucy thoughtfully.
"I've changed my mind... After seizing Baymard we'll kill him off."
"Eh?" Rudolf was confused. "Didn't you say that you would let that your weakling cousin live? You clearly said you'll let him live under your reign in house arrests after taking over Baymard. So what has changed?"
Rudolf was baffled by Sebastien's sudden change. He has known his friend for far too long, knowing he wasn't the indecisive type to suddenly wake up one day and change his mind.
Impossible! There must be a driving force to it. But what?
Rudolf was about to question him when he suddenly caught sight of Sebastian's possessive eyes while staring out the window.
It wouldn't be what he was thinking right?
"Her?... You fancy your cousin's woman?"
Was the sun rising from the West? His friend has never taken a fancy to any woman before. So could it be love at first sight?
But they heard she was pregnant!
Although her stomach has only begun to show slightly, even an idiot can see the woman is a few months pregnant. Perhaps 2 or 3 months in.
So why would his bro prefer a married woman to the many single ones put there? Can it be that such women suited his taste very much?
If Sebastien knew what Rudolf was thinking, he wouldn't waste time snacking the living daylight out of him.
What a joke! Whether pregnant or not, he has never been interested in any woman as he is in Lucy just now.
He didn't know how to describe it, but he was sure he wanted her at first sight.
Whether it was love or not, he didn't care. He was a person who took action fast, lest he regretted things later. And if it ends up not being love, so what?
It wasn't too bad to have such a beautiful woman by his side.
'Queen Lucy of Baymard... You are mine!"
Sebastian unwillingly pried his eyes away from the window, slowly making his way to the work table on the side.
"Appear."
Swish!
Several men in black revealed themselves, getting on bended knee before the desk.
"Your master, our lives are yours to command."
"Hmmm... one of you will keep a close watch on Queen Lucy. I want to know everything she does. I want to know what she likes, what he eats, what she hates, and what makes her smile. Understood?"
One of the shadows bowed solemnly. "As you wish, young master."
Whoosh!
He vanished from the group, leaving 5 other shadows kneeling.
"Any word from above?"
One of the men nodded. "Yes, young master. The T.O.E.P members in Glog Town await your orders!"
"Good." Sebastien smiled. "It won't be long before Arcadina is ours!"
