The windows were open to both sides, and the white curtains between the brown lintels gently fluttered, and the wind stirred the purple hair on her forehead, and she leaned on the table, one hand supporting her chin, and most of the case files were blown up by the wind, turning over and making a rattling sound. Novel щwlā

Her gaze looked out the window, on the busy streets, with people coming and going, crowded buildings lining alleys, signboards of shops shouting, rebellious people walking with large groups of servants, and humble and flattering people, this was her domain of Atlas.

Staring at a corner of the city, it may be a passerby, or a thin line hanging inadvertently on a building, but this is not something to be paid attention to, and occasionally thinking about the problem in her heart, she will focus on the unrelated things as she does now.

The opportunity to ponder was a scene I saw in Isabella's residence, when mentioning the man named Shen Yi, Isabella's face was full of worry, and when she was comforted by him, a bright smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, and her every move seemed to be pulled by him, Isabella actually liked the man named Shen Yi.

Toria thought, and leaned back in her chair, as if it were hard for her to understand why a woman had to put all her heart and soul into a man, even if she was abandoned, and she couldn't figure out what it meant to like someone, and how she could not get into that kind of affection, to be happy for the pleasure of another, to be sad for his sadness.

The memory in her mind was suddenly opened, the little girl hiding in the shadow behind the door looked at the man and woman who were pulling, the woman who desperately wanted to keep the man cried, but was ruthlessly pushed to the ground, tears blurred her eyes, the delicate makeup turned into an ugly smudge, the sad cry knocked on the little girl's heart little by little, the picture changed suddenly, turning to the little girl's perspective, the door was tightly closed, the little girl gently pushed it open, and then what appeared in front of her was the woman hanging on the roof beam, The expression on the blurred face was indistinct, but the lonely and swaying figure was deeply imprinted in the little girl's eyes.

It wasn't a good memory, she thought, and now that she remembered it, she didn't even owe it to her sad feelings, when a knock on the door interrupted Toria's memories.

"Come in."

"Spare me, Your Excellency General Toria." Then she walked into the study was her adjutant Lilith, holding the dossier in one hand and an exaggerated expression on the other: "With so much work, do you want my life?" I strongly ask for a vacation! Furlough! ”

"Alas, you're here again, didn't I tell you many times, is this a lot of work?"

"It's not good for those who can work hard, you are squeezing my surplus value for no reason, you look at my eyes, the dark circles under my eyes are coming out, if this continues, sooner or later I will change from a young girl to an old woman with loose skin."

Lilith retorted strongly, whenever the topic becomes a question of increasing or decreasing workload or vacation, her adjutant Lilith will always take out the topic of women to talk at length, which is a completely different personality from her, for any woman's topic, skin maintenance, body shaping and the like, she can always talk about everything, of course, she herself is also very beautiful, probably among the great beauties in Atlas, but whenever she talks about this, she will always be unable to resist Lilith's fanaticism.

Toria herself doesn't care much about her body as a woman, she is not the kind of woman who spends her time on herself, more often she spends her time refining martial arts, so that whenever she talks to Lilith, she always has to grit her teeth and label herself as a woman favored by God, compared to Lilith, who loves her every day, her lifestyle is so bad that she is like a village woman who doesn't know anything, maybe she can't even talk about women, this is the evaluation given by Lilith, Whenever she said this, her jealous eyes often hung on her, like a deep resentful woman, which was difficult for her to understand.

"Yes, yes, so what do we Lilith have to report right now?"

"Woo, that's why I hate freaks who do nothing but have a body that's always too good to be jealous." Lilith glanced indignantly at Toria's plump and straight twin peaks, her gaze continued to rise, falling on her delicate and jealous beautiful face, raised her glasses, and immediately put away her feelings, she put the information in her hand in front of Toria: "Well, this is a preliminary battle damage report, and at the top, it is a summary of the soldiers' descriptions of the man that night...... Well, his name is Shen Yi, isn't it? ”

"It seems to be called Shen Yi, that's right."

"Well, it's just a common name, although I think the above description is a bit exaggerated, but do you really want to let him go like this? He's a monster who swept away the soldiers of Leonard's two squadrons at once, and if he comes to Atlas one day and makes trouble, the population on our side may be reduced by half. ”

Looking at Lilith's face that suddenly came over and was full of interest, Toria knew that some kind of bad taste belonging to Lilith was about to start again, and she shrugged her shoulders helplessly: "Then with Miss Lilith's high opinion, what are we going to do?" ”

Lilith immediately lifted the flashing inexplicable glasses, and said: "Of course that kind of monster has to be outwitted, at this time the best means is the beauty trick, we can arrange a team of people to secretly ambush him, and then you suddenly appear at this time, with lightning to repel the sneak attackers, come to a legendary beauty to save the hero, and then under the moon, Beauty and the Beast, in your body to completely capture his body and mind, of course, it is best to have twists and turns in the story, for example, he already has a wife and children, you as a third party, Embark on an entangled renegade romance ......"

Smack--Toria looked at Lilith who was incoherent, and finally couldn't help but slap the dossier on her head, does she usually read too many romance novels, Toria thought with a headache.

"Alright, that's the end of the white hot dream, and then I'm going to trouble Miss Lilith to seal off last night's events."

"Eh, it's impossible, there were almost a hundred people who witnessed it yesterday, it's too much work, protest, strong protest."

"If the protest is invalid, this matter will trouble you, and the loss of two squadrons, you can just make up an excuse and report it to the military and political department of the imperial capital, otherwise it will be a big trouble to investigate it."

"Just make up an excuse, it's better to have a simple excuse! How do I find more and more that you are merciless in your arousal? ”

"Please, my dear friend, now I have only you left to rely on, after the matter is resolved, I will accompany you to the Lothlorin vacation, where the hot springs are said to be good for the skin!"

"This is what you said, if you dare to fail the appointment, I will hang myself at the door of your house!" Lilith rubbed her shoulders helplessly, and then, as if remembering something, turned her head and asked, "By the way, Toria, do you know when Isabella will return?" ”

Suddenly hearing Lilith mention Isabella, Toria paused unconsciously, and then naturally answered, "...... Maybe come back in a few days. ”

"Well, that's good, although I don't know what happened, but the king over there in the imperial capital directly gave an order, to let Isabella go back, you'd better remind our wayward princess."

“…… I know Isabella has already told me about it, and she'll know what's serious. ”

Tolia replied softly, and then she couldn't help but sigh without knowing what to think.

Imperial Capital Collobein -

The flickering stage lights fell one after another, and in the smoke that exploded, the huge gears began to bite together, and the platform that gradually floated, the flickering colorful light, and the circulating magic guide device emitted mysterious points of light, like the stars in the sky began to rotate together.

At the highest point of the glitter, the slowly falling figure swirled and appeared on the platform, and the melodious singing voice immediately spread throughout the theater, and Avril Lavigne, dressed in a sky blue dress, appeared in everyone's sight, and the unfolded clothes behind her floated, as if she was in the Milky Way, full of incredible beauty.

Immediately the dancers began to step on the stage from the corner to the melody, and among them, the most conspicuous was Alice, who suddenly jumped down from the center of the whole stage, the pitch-black skirt like a phantom was dotted with silver light like diamonds, and her long black hair matched the ballad, interpreting the poor singer with a rough life in the opera.

……

The grand performance then came to an end with unprecedented applause.

……

Backstage at the Opera House -

"Miss Alice, this is my heart, please accept it."

The richly dressed man stood in front of Alice with a bouquet of flowers in his hand that covered most of his face, unlike the others, from the beginning of the opera, he was deeply attracted by Alice on the stage, originally the bouquet in his hand was intended to be given to Avril, but at this time, he thought that Alice in front of him was more suitable to be their master.

Alice's makeup had not yet been removed, and she glanced at the man in front of her with her usual expression of rejection, and shook her head and refused without the slightest hesitation.

"Sorry, I can't take it."

“…… Can...... But ......"

"I'm sorry, I'm missing." Then, under the man's slightly depressed gaze, Alice walked into the dressing room without looking back, sat in front of the mirror, and began to remove her makeup.

Avril, who had escaped the warm invitation of the fans, happened to see this scene, politely and without making people feel bad about it, and when she walked into the dressing room, Alice had already removed most of her makeup, and her cold face said that no one should be approached.

"Alas, Alice, accept the praise of others with a little frankness, but as a dancer, it is necessary to refuse the kindness of others with such a stiff expression, but it will leave a bad impression on people."

"I'm sorry ......"

"Don't tell me I'm sorry, really, it's not cute at all!" As she spoke, Avril lifted her chin in distress, her eyes fell on Alice's pretty face, like a delicate puppet without a soul, and then she stretched out her hand.

When she noticed Avril's movements, Alice took half a step back, but the touch on her face was just right as usual, obviously she wanted to avoid it, but she couldn't avoid it, and the frustration immediately filled her chest, and she could only watch Avril pull her face and make a gesture like a smile without resistance.

"It's no good to run away...... In this way, in this way, remember oh, this is a smile, next time whether it is a refusal or a shirk, remember to show such an expression, do not have to be too blunt, and do not have to be too intimate. Saying this, and then noticing the chagrin in Alice's eyes, Avril gently hooked the corners of her mouth, as if looking at a lovely junior, and showed a bright smile: "What, are you unwilling?" It's not something to care about, whether it's as a woman, a dancer, or a killer, you still have a lot to learn, and as a senior, I'll teach you everything. ”

Listening to her words of encouragement and comfort, Alice looked at Avril quietly, and the moment she saw her smile, her frozen heart shook, and she couldn't help but feel a little warmth in her heart, which seemed too extravagant in her opinion, and she looked away as if she had hidden it.

"By the way, Alice, remember the last time you assassinated Isabella?"

"Remember, it was when Atlas ......"

Later, when she heard Avril talk about Atlas, Alice's heart couldn't help but feel a deep sense of frustration, which seemed to her to be an uncompromising failure, and she clenched her palms tightly, followed by the frustration, and the figure of the man imprinted in her mind.

"Shhhh Avril raised her index finger at her mouth, and for a while, she just felt that Avril standing in front of her was neither the singer who fascinated countless imperial people, nor the woman like her sister who had just been gently persuaded her, and she seemed to be shrouded in a veil of mystery, she whispered softly, but it came to her ears very clearly, "Do you remember that man?" Now I've got an interesting image. Then, as if by magic, the cyan bird suddenly appeared in the room, chirping briskly, and then in Alice's surprised gaze, the bird's eyes reflected like a water curtain.

"Is that him? The man who caught you last time. Avril asked softly, she looked at Shen Yi in the image in a daze, looked at his black eyes, and nodded affirmatively, she would not admit that man.

"Hehe, it's really him, such a skill, it's so interesting, hehe......"

After getting Alice's affirmation, Avril couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes were full of interest, Alice couldn't help but shudder, and the singing voice that fascinated countless people in the empire immediately came out ...... Witch-like laughter......
