Chapter 30
Dolores had a strong hand clenched, and her body was pressed against Roderick's hot chest, this extremely intimate gesture made her extremely helpless, in order to avoid more intimate contact, she lowered her head, but she didn't know that her pink neck fell in Roderick's eyes and hooked his heart even more, this intuitive sense of fragility Roderick saw for the first time, her neck was too delicate, for Roderick, she didn't even need to exert any strength, she could be twisted lightly, This fragile life is actually not suitable for survival on the planet Aslan, as Marshal Andrea said, and her existence may be a mistake, because she will make the whole interstellar crazy for it.
"Roderick, I'm in pain, can you let me go." Frowning slightly, Doloris really felt very uncomfortable, tried to twist in his arms, and after no result, she raised her little face and discussed with him, her tone was soft and soft.
Roderick had already paid great attention to controlling his strength, but even so, it still brought discomfort to Dolores, and let out a light sigh, Roderick had to admit that after he could hug Dolores, he would face more tests, this kind of torture, sweet and painful.
"I'm sorry, I thought I was careful." Letting go of the hand that was holding Doloris's wrist, Roderick had an apologetic look in his eyes.
Dolores shook her head, her lips curled slightly, "It's me who is so useless." With a wry smile, Dolores tapped her finger at the arm still wrapped around her waist and said, "I can't breathe, Roderick." ”
Roderick reluctantly let go of the arm around Dolores' waist, sighed abruptly, and took two steps back, picked up a glass of water and took a few sips, trying to distract himself from the sweet smell of Dolores, so as not to startle her in a daze.
"I have two days off left, can I take you out for a walk tomorrow?" Roderick asked softly that he didn't have much time to spare before the battle with Planet Mitaka was completely over, and this was the first time that he had delayed time due to personal matters, so he wanted to take advantage of the two days of private time to cultivate a relationship with Dorores.
Dolores obviously couldn't understand Roderick's painstaking efforts, and directly refused: "I'm going to school starting tomorrow." After thinking for a while, he added: "Can you wait until you have time?" ”
Roderick didn't approve of Dolores going to school, especially since the fact that the academy was almost entirely male, made him feel very much in crisis, and as far as he knew, Brian Statham was also in the Department of Interstellar Diplomacy, which was not a good sign.
"Now that the protracted battle with the planet Mitaka has come to an end, I probably won't have much time to spend with you after that, so don't turn me down on Dolores, okay? As for the academy, I'll help you take a leave of absence. ”
"But I've already taken three days off, and if I continue, I'm afraid I'll delay my studies." Doloris's lips moved, and she let out a faint protest.
This kind of thing obviously won't be taken to heart by Roderick, even if he shows a gentle side in front of Dolores, it can't change his inner strength, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, and he said softly: "Have you forgotten jì?" I've taken Yarman's class, and I can tell you anything you don't understand, and after this protracted battle is over, the negotiation with Planet Mitaka is the focus, if you are willing to take a few more days off, you can go to the scene to observe. ”
The temptation is undoubtedly great, and every student in the Department of Diplomacy is eager to see a negotiation after defeating the planet Mitaka, and Dolores, who is now quite enthusiastic about the profession of diplomat, is certainly no exception.
"May I go?" Doloris's eyes widened, and she looked at Roderick suspiciously, and she had to guess whether he was coaxing herself, after all, on such a big occasion, in what capacity should she be a student.
Roderick smiled: "Of course, you are about to be my fiancée, aren't you?" If you wish, you can be there as my confidential secretary. Roderick doesn't mind that he's using his power for personal gain, and he believes that if someone else had the opportunity, they would have made the same decision.
"Don't you really want to see it? With me, you can see a lot of scenes that you have never seen before, and I heard that the competition between Kasro and Audri is coming soon, and I can take the time to take you to see it, and we have a safe and good view. Roderick continued to seduce, as he seemed to have a complete grasp of Dolores' psyche and her desire for the outside world.
After hesitating for a while, Dolores couldn't resist such a huge temptation, nodded invisibly, and whispered: "Then you have to talk to my mother, and if she agrees, then I will go with you to see." ”
Roderick laughed, his face was really very handsome, his silver eyes were softened by the affection they contained, and the gentle gaze wrapped around Doloris, making her heart beat faster for a moment, this feeling was more from panic.
"There is no problem, I will definitely ask for Lady Andrea's consent." Roderick said softly, his cold-toned eyes were deep and affectionate, and his voice was soft but low, obviously a simple sentence, which came out of his mouth, but with a hint of inexplicable ambiguity.
Mrs. Andrea thought that Roderick's intentions were quite unpredictable, and it was outrageous that he could come up with such a way to coax Dolores, as a mother-in-law, Mrs. Andrea didn't think that Roderick, the future hairy son-in-law, was so cute, snorted lightly, her green eyes were a little bit, and she said lightly: "No, I don't worry about Dolores being alone with you." "As a woman with a lot of experience, Lady Andrea knew a lot about men, and she didn't think that Roderick would be able to do anything when she was guarding Dolores.
"Mother, this is only a few days, don't worry, I assure you in the honor of royalty that I will never behave inappropriately against Dolores." Roderick said with a smile, calling "Mother" extremely naturally, not missing any opportunity to please Doloris's family.
Asa glanced at Roderick, because he had just returned from the military headquarters, and the military hat had not been taken off, his eyes under the brim narrowed slightly, and his thin lips provoked a very charming arc, and he said loudly: "It just so happens that there is nothing to do in the military department these days, since Dolores wants to go, I will accompany her!" Asa wasn't trying to create any conditions for Roderick, on the contrary, he was looking for a chance for himself to spend time with Dolores alone.
The two of them have a tacit understanding about cooperation, no one will tear each other down in front of Mrs. Andrea, Roderick made a welcoming gesture and said with a smile: "Of course it's good, so that Doloris can rest assured, after all, she is still very strange to me now, and having a relative by her side can also make her feel at ease and cultivate a relationship with me." Although the agreement was made privately, it did not mean that Roderick really wanted to share Dolores with others.
Asa also has such a mentality, he is also a man, he will not believe the promise made by a man, maybe it is sincere at the moment, but after really getting along with Dolores, who can guarantee that he will not have desires and thoughts, even he himself can not make such a promise.
Madame Andrea glanced at Asa in surprise, as if she did not expect him to respond to Roderick's words, for for this steady eldest son, she was a hundred reassured, since he was going to accompany Dolores, then there was no need to worry.
"I'll take a leave of absence from Dolores at the academy, and she'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry." Roderick smiled slightly, and sent Lady Andrea out with Asa in an astonishing tacit understanding.
"How did I not know that the military department has been so idle lately?" Roderick looked at Asa with a smirk, expressing his displeasure at his sideways.
Taking off his military hat, Asa casually hung it on his fingertips and played with it, and smiled faintly: "Even the chief of staff of the military department has free time, and I, the Minister of National Defense, will of course be even more idle." After speaking, the thin lips pursed, and the shape of the lips looked a little cold-blooded: "Doesn't Your Highness plan to let Dolores continue to go to the academy?" ”
Roderick smiled and sat down on the sofa casually, his slender legs elegantly folded, his hands crossed on his laps, and he asked, "Why do you think that?" The truth is quite the opposite, I'm not going to give Dolores a chance to practice! ”
This kind of obvious lie to coax Doloris, if Asa had believed it for so many years, he would have lived in vain, evoking a sneer, he sat opposite Roderick, raised his eyebrows, and said, "In your capacity as a confidential secretary?" ”
"I thought about it carefully, maybe the identity of the fiancée is more appropriate." Roderick smiled slightly, leaned forward, and lowered his voice a little: "Are you going to continue to let Dolores stay in Audrey?" I still remember that when we were in Audrey, we were almost all male, and Miss Beverly caused an unprecedented sensation at the college. ”
Asa's eyes flashed, he agreed to Dolores to go to Audrey, it was just to make her happy, in his imagination, Dolores would not adapt to Audrey's environment at all, but he didn't expect her to have a strong interest in interstellar diplomacy, I have to say, this rash decision made him remorseful, thinking of this, Asa frowned, expressed his opinion in a silent gesture, and did not open his mouth to object-
