Chapter 10 The identity of the fiancée
"What?" Alexander, stunned for a moment, and looked at Lisanna in surprise.
"I'm resigning. "There are some things that either you never have the courage to say, and once you say them, it becomes easier to repeat them later. So, Lisanna's second pronunciation was quite clear.
"Why?" Alexander quickly regained his usual composure, he didn't pick up the envelope, just looked at Lisanna lightly. If Lisanna's resignation this time is related to the abnormal state in recent days, then from the perspective of time, Lisanna's resignation is not deliberate. Therefore, chatting with Lisanna more at this time can also make her change her mind.
Alexander is not like letting Lisanna leave him, the attentiveness, meekness and loyalty of this young girl are what Alexander admires most. And both the degree of understanding and tacit understanding between them is very rare. Considering from the direction of a guard, Lishana is indeed the most suitable candidate for the second prince of the empire.
So, now Alexander is trying to persuade Lisanna not to leave him.
"It's all written on the resignation letter...... Lisanna also realized that she might regret it if she said a few more words, so she didn't plan to say more.
Alexander picked up the resignation letter and squeezed it gently, estimating that Lishana had only written two pages at most. He smiled and shook his head, then tore the envelope to shreds.
"Your Highness......" Lisanna's face flushed, she didn't know why Alexander did this, could it be that he was humiliating her? But even so, Lishana did not have any resentment towards Alexander, after all, all this was her own fault, and it was all her own ...... Thinking too much.
"Now......" Alexander stood up with a smile, motioning for the guards to go out and close the door. Then the second prince said to Lisanna, "There is no resignation letter anymore, can you tell me your reasons yourself?" I want to hear it." ”
When only the two of them were left alone, Lisanna visibly relaxed, looking at Alexander without saying a word, her eyes flashing with bewilderment and bewilderment.
"Lisanna......" Alexander also seemed a little more relaxed at this time, he pressed his hands on Lisanna's shoulders, and then said seriously: "In my opinion, you are a very qualified subordinate, and I need your help very much. If I'm doing something bad, I want you to tell me the truth, I can change it, at least, I don't want to lose such a wonderful guard as you. ”
"In your eyes, I'm just a ...... Guards?" said Lisanna, as if muttering to herself.
"......" Alexander was stunned for a moment, and then said rather amusedly, "Of course, you are still my friend." ”
"Guard...... Friend ......" The corners of Lisana's mouth were a hint of self-deprecation, she repeated the definition in Alexander's mouth, and then whispered: "It seems that in your heart, I will ...... after all It's just such a person......"
"What did you say?" Alexander didn't hear Lisanna's muttering.
"I say......" Lisanna finally could not restrain herself, she looked up at Alexander, and then said in a loud voice, "friend, guard, is that all you think of me?
"Other than these......" Alexander looked a little confused, "what more do you want?"
"You know! you know everything!" Lisanna finally couldn't help herself, she looked up at Alexander, the man who was so tall and handsome that she was so captivated that she couldn't help herself. Then he said in a loud voice: "But you don't say anything! Since you don't say it, then I won't say it either! Because I know that even if I say it, it will only add more ridicule and inferiority!"
"What you said ......," Alexander scratched his head, scratching his head, and continued, "I don't really understand it." But can you tell me why you quit? That's what I'm concerned about. ”
"The ...... who resigned Why?" Lisanna's face turned a little whiter, she looked at Alexander with a wry smile, and then replied bluntly: "I don't think I can act as your escort with my current strength. ”
"But I don't think so, let's just say why. In my opinion, it is because of your protection that I have been able to remain safe and sound for the past few years. Alexander sighed and said, "I don't understand why you came to the conclusion that you can't be my bodyguard." ”
"Because ......," Lisana gritted her teeth, and finally said, "Because, I can't protect you at all!"
"Why"
"I have no greater strength than you, nor a better conductor than you," replied Lisanna, as she had in mind, "I have nothing better than you." In front of you, I will always be a dispensable person. So, if I can't find any reason to exist, then my withdrawal is a matter of course. Because, I'm just a piece of waste that no one needs......"
"Because there was no need, it ...... Are you going to quit?" Alexander muttered.
"Yes. Lishana replied firmly, "If I don't have any use for you." Well, of course, I don't have a reason to stay here, and it's not that you're doing well or badly, it's just my personal reasons. I didn't live up to your expectations of me. So, I offer my resignation. ”
"Expectation...... "Alexander muttered," Alexander muttered, "you know what exactly I expect from you?"
"I don't know, but at least, someone who is useful to you is always something to expect. Lisana replied, "And I'm useless to you now, so, I resign......"
"Is that all your reason for?" Alexander replied helplessly, "because you feel that you are useless to me, so you resign?"
"Yes. Lishana nodded, and the girl said very calmly, "That's what I think." ”
"It turns out that you resigned just because you felt that you couldn't take care of me......" Alexander sighed helplessly, and then muttered.
"Exactly. ”
"That's the reason. Alexander calmly replied: "Well, then, I agree with your application." ”
"......" This time, it was Lisanna's turn to be silent. In fact, as with the previous assaults, she had considered all possible scenarios long before the incident happened, and made complete preparations accordingly.
When Lisana knocked on the door, she was mentally prepared to face any situation. However, she never imagined that Alexander's consent would be so crisp and simple, as if it were ...... I don't have any attachment to myself at all, and it's the same as relying on it. Didn't he say that she was his best bodyguard? Why? This man can discard even the best partner without hesitation?
Lisana couldn't figure it out, but the only thing she understood was that Alexander didn't think about herself at all. He just used her as a guard who could use his body to block arrows. Other than that, she was no different from those warriors of the Golden Eagle Knights.
And for this cold and ** result, what can Lisanna do...... Only a wry smile......
"Is this your Highness's answer?" Lisanna twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Anyway...... You agreed, right?"
"Yes. Alexander nodded: "Since it is your own mentality that has a problem, then, there is no way for me to solve it." And until your mindset is adjusted, I don't have a way to enlighten you. The only person who can free himself from his misery is himself. Hope you remember that......"
Lisanna...... Remember...... Lisana nodded lightly, and slowly prepared to leave......
"Wait, Lisanna!" Alexander's voice rang out again.
"I don't know what else His Highness has to order......" Because of the reason that Alexander had rejected once, Lisanna's tone of voice at this time also seemed hard. There seems to be infinite hostility towards Alexander......
Alexander smiled helplessly, and then replied: "I just admitted that you resigned from my duties as personal bodyguard, so now, it's time for me to tell me about my arrangements for your next affairs, this is a new arrangement." ”
"I wonder what His Highness commands?" Lishana asked lightly, she was now in a dead heart, so no one expected much from anything else.
Hope, on the other hand, often comes between despair.
"I mean......" Alexander scratched his head, "Your resignation doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing." From now on, perhaps...... You can stay with me in another capacity...... Uh, maybe stay in Melindale and wait for me to come back. ”
"What you're talking about......" Lisana was stunned, clearly not understanding what they meant......
"I mean. Alexander took a deep breath and said, "The reason why I joined the army is to defend my family and country, and secondly, I don't want any of the subjects of the empire to continue to suffer from war. I have now driven the Southerners out of our empire, and the first point I think I did. And the second point, I can only do it after the end of the war. But at the very least, I can use some privileges to stop the suffering of the people I value. So go back to Melindell!"
"I was going back to Melindale. Lishana replied.
"You said you were going back as a veteran. Alexander laughed: "And the return in my mouth is as the prince's fiancée." ”
