Chapter 329 If apology works, who are you going to frame next time?

Brittany is a big family. There are at least several hundred people with the surname Breton in Fars. Not every Breton has a strong background, but the daughter of the Count of Brittany is different.

The Zephyr Goddess of Gorgias University was known to everyone in the university, but outside of the university, she was just a pretty girl. Especially Anne, who didn't like socializing at all, was not as famous as the Rose of Strasbourg, Sophia Galannod.

Seeing that Anne was young, the senior official wanted to scold her and force her to admit her mistake, but the document Anne showed him not only had the Emperor's signature, but also...

Anne's position is higher than his!
The chief of the law enforcement department had just put the last stamp on Annie's document. He had originally planned to announce to his colleagues in the afternoon that a beautiful young lady had joined the company, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen before the lunch break was over.

He walked out of the independent office, feeling a little embarrassed.

The head of the Law Enforcement Department of the Central Government Office is definitely a high-ranking official in the empire and can be considered to be in a high position of power, but he is determined not to be involved in the fight between the Duchess of Metsu and the Count of Brittany.

Aarons Cook was stunned. He never expected that this new girl had such a strong background. He suddenly realized and shouted, "You are the girl with Charlotte!"

Anne said calmly: "Mr. Charlotte Mecklen has already met my father!"

"What else do you want to say, Mr. Aarons Cook?"

Aarons Cook then realized belatedly why the Count of Brittany did not support him when he went to investigate Charlotte. At that time, he thought that the Count disliked him for messing around on the front line. Now he realized that Charlotte was actually one of the Count's own!

He also understood why Duchess Methu told him to let Charlotte pay a fine of 3,000 Egyptian francs and later forbade him to continue the investigation.

Aarons Cook got close to Duchess Mesu and thought he was different and could do whatever he wanted. But now he finally realized that just because Duchess Mesu could do whatever she wanted, it didn't mean he could do the same.

Aarons Cook suddenly realized something: he was actually still a small person.

The Count of Brittany would fully support his daughter.

But Duchess Methu was determined not to give him her full support.

He is just a junior of Duchess Mesu, not her biological son.

Allens Cook cried and whispered, "I can apologize."

Annie smiled faintly and said, "If apology works, who are you going to frame next time? And then continue to apologize?"

"I repeat: Mr. Allens Cook must go to the front!"

The head of the law enforcement department took a deep breath. He had already made a decision. He stood up and said, "Men of the Fars Empire should go to the front line for the empire!"

"Mr. Aarons Cook must go to the front!"

"You should leave today!"

Charlotte had just finished her work of promoting her subordinates and walked out of the Central Government Office when she saw Alan S. Cook walking out in a daze. He casually gave him a "not very friendly" greeting: "Why do you look like a lost dog?"

Aarons Cook gritted his teeth and said, "You win!"

"But don't think you will always win!"

"I will definitely find a way to restart the investigation into you."

Charlotte smiled brightly and said, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Why don't we duel? Sign the formal duel document and find a witness each." "If there's any grudge, let's find it on the rapier."

"Why bother with conspiracy and intrigue?"

Charlotte didn't know that Anne had already hit Mr. Allens Cook hard. She thought this guy would cause trouble for her again. She was a little impatient and wanted to solve this "problem" simply.

He had just been promoted to a senior level and wanted to find someone to try his hand at.

Although both of them were unarmed in the last fight, and Charlotte didn't gain any advantage except for slapping the other party a few times, weapons can be used in a duel. Charlotte believes that this guy is no match for her.

Allens Cook turned around and left angrily. It was not because he was afraid of a duel, but because he was not in the mood.

He was about to be transferred to the Ferlanden front, so how could he have the mind to duel?
Charlotte was somewhat impressed when she saw the guy walk away, and thought to herself, "This guy is flexible and a real character. I have to be more careful next time."

He went to a nearby coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited patiently for Annie to get off work.

Many supplies in Strasbourg are in short supply, but this shortage is different. For example, he often cannot buy coffee on the Champs-Elysées, but the coffee shops in the Val d'Oise district in the upper 7th arrondissement have sufficient supply.

There is no way around it. This is where the imperial palace, ministers’ residences, the central government, and four universities are located.

On the Champs-Elysees, even a figure like Charlotte would be short of coffee. Sometimes she couldn't buy it and had to find other ways to stock up. But in the Val d'Oise district, even a small clerk could have coffee freely.

Outside of the Upper Seventh District, even food supply began to become a problem.

In fact, Charlotte seldom went to the outer fifteenth district. When she came back this time, she had not yet returned to No. 1 Falcon Street. Her understanding of Strasbourg was still biased towards the positive side.

He didn't wait long and drank two cups of coffee. Just as he was about to order a snack, a beautiful figure walked into the coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee. She found a place to sit down and then saw Charlotte.

The moment their eyes met, surprise appeared on both of their faces.

Charlotte screamed, "Frederica!"

"Why have you returned to Strasbourg?"

The leopard girl was also quite surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't you be on the front lines?"

Charlotte spread her hands and said, "I was investigated for tax issues, so I returned to Strasbourg."

Frederica was surprised and asked, "You still owe taxes? That's impossible! Your weekly salary is not low, and all civil servants in the empire have tax exemptions, which are much lower than the tax rate of ordinary businessmen. How could you not pay taxes?"

Charlotte knew that the leopard girl had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a matter of my personal tax payment."

Frederica immediately thought of the fact that he often exempted taxes when he was in Silver Pigeon Castle, and said, "Oh, oh, oh! Is it your tax exemption in Silver Pigeon Castle that was investigated? It's not a big deal, you just need to pay the tax again."

Charlotte felt that there was no way to explain it. He provided too many free places, and there was no way to collect additional taxes. Firstly, he had pushed his reputation too high, and secondly, those who were able to pay taxes had been sent overseas by him, and there were no population left in the local area.

Charlotte didn't explain this. He knew the leopard girl wasn't interested in this either. He asked, "Why are you in Strasbourg? The Empire's recent policy towards orcs isn't very good."
