On the first night, nothing happened. The next day, like a weasel giving a gift to a chicken, Weiss arrived early on the lawn where Barras and Gunnevere were active. As a soldier, Barras doesn't seem to have a habit of waking up early, and he doesn't see him getting up in the morning to exercise. Of course, it is not excluded that the Norman management area has a complete range of indoor sports equipment, which he only needs to use to complete his morning workout.

It's almost time for breakfast. The faint aroma of food filled the air, and Weiss was still active on the lawn. After a while, a Norman official politely came over and said, "Your Highness has invited you to breakfast, if you don't mind." ”

Weiss came early in the morning to confirm Gunnevere's current condition. He discussed with Octavier not to startle the snake for the time being, but to use this roundabout way to rule out the possibility of the other party's secret crossing of Chen Cang. So, he followed the official into the Norman administration again.

In this international airport, the administrative area left for the Normans is actually not large, and the staff is mainly concentrated in the front and rear houses. The front building is a work area, the back building is a living area, surrounded by lawns and some trees, the basic living conditions are still available, to pursue a higher level of enjoyment, there is nothing to help here.

In the Normans' dining room, Normans in the uniforms of the caretakers sat in their seats like soldiers. The atmosphere here makes Weiss feel like he has broken into the Norman barracks. During the war, he was captured by the Normans for a while, doing all kinds of chores, and often went to the Normans' restaurants. Even in the wild, the Normans tried to prepare their meals in a ceremonial manner. From this point of view, a significant number of the administrators here, and possibly all of them, are retired or active military personnel.

There's nothing to do here...... Weiss muttered to himself as he continued on his way. They came to a separate cubicle at the bottom of the restaurant, which was significantly higher than the dining room outside. At the long table, Barras and Gunnevere sat opposite each other, with a seat on the side, apparently for Weiss.

Seeing Weiss come in, Gunevere smiled politely at him, and then Barras just looked at him with a blank face and said, "It seems that our tryst in the realm of Lorraine has caused you a lot of trouble. I'm a little embarrassed that you came to greet us in person early in the morning. In that case, how about you come over for breakfast at this time every morning during my stay? ”

Weiss was not polite to them, and smiled politely: "It's an honor!" ”

In the Ulster Free Federation, relations between men and women are relatively open and free. As long as it does not violate morality and law, it will generally not be blamed and restrained, just like the two in front of you, the man is unmarried and the woman is not married, as long as they are willing, it is okay to spend the night together, and even in some areas where the mind is more open-minded, it is not uncommon to give birth to offspring even if they are not married.

After taking his seat, Weiss said, "I would like to ask, how many days will you probably stay here?" When I left, I wonder if I will be able to escort Miss Grumman back by the way? ”

Barras lowered his head and thought for a while: "If I can stay here for half a month, will you stay here with us for half a month?" ”

Weiss was a little surprised, he looked at Barras and then at Gunevere. From Gunevere's expression, he could tell that it was basically a joke. With Barras's status and responsibilities, coupled with the current special state of the Roman's power class, it is almost impossible for him to stay in such a place far from the core of power for half a month.

Even if he was willing, the situation did not allow him to be so willful.

"I have an office here." Weiss half-jokingly said, "As long as it's in Lorraine, no place prevents me from working normally." Besides, this Bella Casser also has a very special memory of me, which I don't think you two may know yet! ”

Weston paused, and in an artistically rendered way, told the two men about the incomparably fierce battle of Bellakaser. Gunevere listened with a look of fascination, and Barras had been calm, but his eyes flickered a few times, as if he was thoughtful.

This was the first time Wei Si and Ze had met since coming to this plane, but they were only in a hurry and failed to recognize each other. In front of Baras, Weiss deliberately did not go to Titzer's name, lest the fellow should think of getting into trouble with his widow and daughter.

However, what a clever man Ballas, a Norman senior commander who had been active on the Northern and Eastern Fronts during the war, asked, "Did you ever see your brother in that battle?" ”

Weisborne was a little surprised, but on second thought, Ze was an important player in that battle, and it was not surprising that Barras would remember it, and that defeat was probably something he was haunted about. After a moment's thought, he replied, "Thank you for answering one of my long-standing doubts. Because...... I have never been able to ask him for confirmation of this. ”

"Yes, you've always thought he was dead, so you don't think you'll ever have a chance to ask him for anything." Ballas said lightly. It seems to be just a casual mention, but it is like a bombshell smashing on Weiss's heart.

What does this mean? Ze didn't die? His body had not been seen on the battlefield, but the Normans had announced his death, and his widow had been notified, so Weiss would bring Kemp Jr. back to the Confederation. How can there be a fake?

Seeing Weiss's astonishment, Barras was satisfied. He did not continue, but motioned for the attendant to serve breakfast to everyone.

Barras and Gunnevere's current state is exactly what a man and woman in love do, with a simple breakfast and several handfuls of dog food for Weiss. At this time, Weiss's mind was no longer on the couple in front of him, but pondering the words that Barras had just said, speculating on Ze's current situation. Finally, when they finished their breakfast, Weiss frowned and said, "For a person who has passed away, even if he was once your extremely loyal subordinate, I don't think you should joke about him, this is the greatest disrespect for the deceased." ”

Barras glanced at him disapprovingly and said, "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

Weiss's hand under the table clenched and loosened his fist, having dealt with Barras a few times, he knew that his opponent was very good at figuring out the psychology of others and finding their weaknesses. This is true on the battlefield, and it is still true outside the battlefield. In the matter of Ze, the more he cares, the more he will be played with by his opponent, so it doesn't matter whether Ze is still alive or not, with this clue, Barras can completely use his brotherhood for Ze to make a fuss, such as using his widow and daughter as weights to coerce Weiss to make an exchange. By the time he had figured this out, it was too late to disguise or cover it up—his performance had already been seen in its entirety by Ballas. At this time, except for being annoyed that his reaction was half a beat slower, Weiss had nothing to do. However, this in turn reminded Weiss: if Ballas had done something to him, couldn't Gunnevere be a hostage here, and even if they didn't do enough to protect them, wouldn't it be a lot of weight to have a smaller hostage in their stomachs?

Thinking of this, Weiss felt more and more that he had to take advantage of Gunevere next, but he changed his mind - with Barras's ability, if he really wanted to take Gunevere away, it would be completely impossible for the opponent to know, so why bother showing affection here generously?

Sorting out these lines of thought and putting them together, Weiss always felt that the confident Norman royal family was planning and brewing some terrible conspiracy. Such an opponent is even more terrifying than the kind of brave generals on the battlefield. He's standing here, but you don't know what he's up to, and that's chilling!

Seeing Barras in front of Gunnevere, and that rare warm smile, Weiss wanted to knock his head open to see what kind of secret was hidden inside. How nice would it be if his specialty wasn't human radar, but mind reading......

After breakfast, Weiss didn't linger long, and returned to the Federal District, complaining to Octavier, who was having breakfast. After hearing this, Octavir shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that this person has studied you very thoroughly and knows where your weakness is. But you don't have to worry too much, with his interest, it's unlikely that he will play that kind of low-level conspiracy. As for your brother, judging from his tone, it is possible that he really did not die in battle, but it is difficult to judge the actual situation. There are also many examples of people in the Union Army who fainted on the battlefield, were disfigured, carried down in a coma, and woke up to find that their names had been added to the death list. These people, if they can still keep their memories and explain the situation to their superiors, after checking, can quickly recover their identities, but if their memories are damaged, they are not conscious, or if they are unwilling to revisit the past and deliberately avoid it, then it will be difficult to testify. ”

Octavier didn't go on, but Weiss could also think that the soldiers woke up from a coma and learned that their families had received a generous pension, and at this time it was necessary for them to take the initiative to find their superiors to verify their identity, so that their families could return the pension and recover their injuries and return to the front line. Some people sit up straight, but others are more realistic, and they can use this opportunity to evade military service and benefit their families by the way. At the beginning, in the battle where Ze fell, the scene was indeed very chaotic. The guerrilla advance detachments of the Union Army launched a fierce attack on the Norman barracks in the river valley, and the barracks was almost burned to the ground. In such a situation, it is quite logical to be burned, inhaled smoke and coma. After being rescued, he may have hidden his identity, but why he was later found out is another matter.

"My suggestion is that you don't have to ask him for anything or find out the secrets behind it. Since he told you, he must be ready to use this as a bargaining chip. When it was time to make a trade, he would naturally take out the chips. Until then, if you want to find out the truth, I'm afraid it won't be worth the loss. Octavier analyzes Weiss.

After listening to these analyses, Weston came to his senses. In fact, his feelings for Ze are more of a pity and regret than a real kind of blood kinship, which Barras must not have expected. So if there is a situation where you are coerced by your opponent, you can use this unequal perception to frustrate your opponent's plan. Of course, the failure of this plan will most likely cost Ze and his family. To achieve righteousness, or even to destroy relatives with righteousness, it is really not just a matter of casual talk, and it is bound to suffer great psychological pain......

Weiss kept his divergent thinking, and then speculated: "Because of this incident, I suddenly have some thoughts—the enemy can use my family affection as a weight, and we can also use Gunevere as a weight?" From this point of view, is Barras's love for us also a trap? Deliberately let us know this, deliberately let Gunevere stay in our hands, just to date a few days every once in a while...... Don't you think this situation is very abnormal? ”

Octavir didn't show a surprised look, but said with a gloomy face: "Your analysis is very reasonable, I thought something was wrong with this early morning, I'm afraid these two people are acting!" Moreover, they both feel that they have convinced each other that this is true. We came here just to play with them. Whoever gets into the deepest in this drama is destined to become a loser. ”

In this way, most of Weiss's doubts have reasonable answers. It's probably going to be a great show! In this scene, the two protagonists performed impeccably, and they could have won the Oscars! And how many viewers are still blinded in this scene? All of the staff members who had been disturbed twice by Bellakaser were undoubtedly the same, and perhaps the attendants around Ballas were also unsure. In this scene, if someone is not reasonable enough, then it is likely that they know the inside story but their acting skills are not good, and they are the clues...... Take Barras's loyal squire, and Gunevere's father. Yes, in Aocheng's residence, although he has a melancholy performance, that melancholy performance is not proportional to his daughter's rebellion.

Now, both himself and Octavir have seen through this game, and if they break it rashly, it will definitely make the enemy vigilant and change their strategy. On the contrary, if you continue to cooperate with them to perform this play, it is better to keep a clear head at all than to have no clue at all!

This is a play, Weiss thought about it, what bottom line did Gunnevere set for her role, and would there be an accident in the process of the performance because she was unwilling to cross the bottom line? Or is her bottom line that the soul does not betray her country, and other costs are acceptable? But if that's the case, the probability of falling in love because of the drama and the fake drama is not small......

For the rest of the day, Weiss continued to keep all personnel on their toes, and every morning, he went to clock in as usual. Looking at the performance of the two again, I feel more and more that this is an interesting drama.
