Chapter 36: The Battle

"No, no. Don't be angry, Liana didn't mean to be disrespectful to the master. Liana was startled, and quickly knelt up and explained, "I mean ......"

"Alright, Liana, don't be so afraid, I don't mean to blame you." Clifford smiled evilly, reached out, grabbed her, pulled her into his arms, and said in a tone of grief: "Liana, I ask you something. ”

"Whatever the master wants to ask, just say it." Liana lay in Clifford's arms like a kitten, and said coquettishly.

Cleifer moved his body and pursed his lips, and for a while, countless thoughts came to his mind, and said, "How long have you been with the eldest prince?" At this time, what came to his mind was Angela's delicate face.

"It's been more than a year." Liana said faintly, not knowing what he meant, but after a few thoughts in her heart, she thought that he was doubting her relationship with the eldest prince, and hurriedly explained: "I have always served the daughters of the eldest prince, and I have not had much contact with the eldest prince. ”

"Alright, Liana, you don't have to be nervous." Clifford smiled slightly, patted her smooth back, and said, "You have been with him for so long, have you ever heard of a girl named Angela, who also came to today's ball, but I don't know which lady it is." ”

"Angela?" Liana laughed out loud, and said in her characteristic snort, "Is it a very beautiful little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old?" ”

"Yes." Clifford was so excited, he didn't expect to find out so quickly, and his body unconsciously sat up half-sitting, and said, "Do you know her?" ”

Liana smiled sweetly, helped Clifford to the bed again, and said, "Of course I do, my master." She's the third daughter of the eldest prince? Master, do you have a little interest in her? ”

"The eldest prince's daughter?" Collie was a little confused, although he and the eldest prince were nominal godbrothers, but the two were really not familiar, he didn't know that his eldest brother actually had such a beautiful daughter, and said with a smile: "I think so, her beauty and generosity touched me." ”

Liana was a little sour in her heart, she liked Clifford in her heart, since she liked it, she would definitely not be jealous, but she knew in her heart that she was just a maid, and it was already lucky to be favored by Clifford, and it was impossible to stop him from having other women, muttering, and said a little sourly: "My master, your vision is really good, Angela is indeed a beautiful and virtuous girl, I also know her, if you want to pursue her, I can help you." ”

"No, no." Collie waved his hand again and again: "It's not the time yet, I danced with her, in fact, I saw at the time, she was a little tired, and she wanted to refuse, but I don't know why she agreed after hearing my name." ”

"Maybe she secretly likes you in her heart?" Liana smiled and quipped.

Clifford patted her on the back, smiled wryly, and said, "Liana, you really like me." I think she heard his father talk about me and thought I could help him in his career, so she didn't turn me down. If she really liked me, she wouldn't just dance with me and leave in a hurry. ”

"Master, what are you going to do?" Liana smiled sweetly, in fact, she also thought so in her heart, she was a girl, and it was normal to understand Angela's mood, but it was rare that Clifford was so sober, and she appreciated him a little more, and said: "Angela has a lot of people thinking about it, you can prepare early." ”

"That's what I expected." Collie said lightly: "It is not surprising that there are many people who think about all beautiful women, what I want to know is what kind of hobbies Angela has, or what kind of people she likes." ”

"She loves literature." Almost without thinking, Liana blurted out, "She likes poetry the most, and if you can send her a few good poems, you will definitely touch her heart." ”

"Send poems?" God bless, it's time for you to see the power of aliens, and a smile came to his lips: "I see, Liana, thank you." I will not forget the help you provided today. ”

"Don't say that, master, it's my pleasure to serve you." Liana snorted again, put her arms around Clifford's neck, and gave her a big kiss.

These days, Pol has had a very unsatisfactory life.

"Smack!" With a thud, Pol broke another glass, drove all the servants out, and scolded, "You useless things are useless at all." Get out of here! ”

While he was talking, Pol's chief strategist Lincoln walked in, saw Pol's appearance, and knew that he was disgusted by the Secretary of War Gates again, and walked into the house, straightened a bookshelf that Pol had knocked over, and said, "Lord Governor, what made you lose your temper so much?" ”

"What else could be the matter?" Pol said angrily, but when he saw Lincoln coming, he still suppressed his anger and said very politely: "It's not that old boy from Gates, who is making things difficult for me again!" ”

"What the hell is going on? Speak up, Lord Governor, and listen. Lincoln unhurriedly found a sofa to sit down, and crossed his legs very casually.

Pol also sat down, he was short and stocky, and he sat on the sofa like a mountain of meat, and said angrily: "I went to Gates to ask for the army's salary this month, but he dragged it and didn't give it, and found a lot of reasons to prevaricate me." What's even more infuriating is that he actually gave extra bonuses to officers and soldiers who were close to him, didn't this clearly tell people in the army that it would be beneficial to follow him? Also, I found out that he was co-opting some of my generals, and this man is so bad that he has been trying to cut off my wings. ”

Lincoln also realized the seriousness of the gaffe, although Pol has been in the army for many years and has many cronies, but people are always unreliable, they follow Polgan to realize the value of their lives, not how charming Pol himself is, as Pol just said This situation is very serious, this is obviously the king behind Gates is using this dishonorable means to force the officers in the army to make a statement, and they now have the advantage, so that it has been a long time, Those who are not strong-willed in the army will fall to Gates if they are very willing, and Pol's influence in the army will become weaker and weaker, and finally he will completely lose the capital to play this game, and he will cross his legs, lean on the sofa, hold his chin with his hand, and mutter for a long time, and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, I think there may be a shadow of Clifford behind this matter, do you think we should do it now?" ”
