The night breeze in Port Portsmo, with a hint of the saltiness of the sea, blew Arina's chestnut hair.

Alina picked up the wine glass in her hand, took a sip of wine, and looked up at the bright moon and stars hanging high above her head.

"Hey, beautiful Miss Count, don't patronize the feelings of the wind and snow, how about helping to clean up?"

Hearing this, Alina turned her head and looked at Senas who was standing in the hall. Just an hour ago, everything in this mansion was the personal belongings of Andermesius, and now it has changed owners, nay, the entire port of Portsmo.

"Of course this ugly rough work should be done by the men, don't make me look down on you." Alina pouted and pushed back, then turned back to enjoy the night view.

Indeed, the man Xenas is very powerful. As he had planned, Andermetheus was seduced by his beauty and invited him to dinner as a token of appreciation, along with most of the officers in the port. This made it easier for his men to infiltrate all parts of the harbor, and when Xenas led his army into Portsmo, the Yaqui soldiers were leaderless and completely unable to take effective defenses, and it took less than an hour from the beginning to the end of the operation, and only six of their own soldiers were wounded. All this is especially thanks to the one-sided killing carried out by Xenas himself after entering the city, which completely overwhelmed the will of the Yaki army, and the fierce attack like fire was unforgettable, and it was only then that Alina realized that he had not used all his strength in the battle with him before, and if he really wanted to take his own life, he might not be able to survive even ten moves.

However, Alina was still quite dissatisfied with him, because during the banquet, Andermisius had ** himself more than once, and even tried to insult himself while drunk, although Xenas arrived in time to kill Andermitheus and others, Alina was still very unhappy. Because she felt that the only person who could be sacrificed in Xenas's plan was herself, and Xenas knew this absolutely.

Of course, Senas, who had been robbed, would not clean up the messy hall by himself, but poured a large glass of ale and walked over to Alina: "My beautiful Miss Countess, you don't seem to be in a good mood, so how about letting me accompany you to relieve your boredom?" ”

"You're so brazen." Alina said without looking back, but she didn't mean to stop Xenas.

"Thank you for the compliment. Shouldn't we be happy that we have easily taken the port of Portsmo, and that you and I have successfully completed our tasks, Miss Countess? Senas said as he poured the ale into his stomach.

"Hmph, you've planned it from the beginning, and the only one who can lose in this plan is me." Alina said indignantly.

Xenas put down his glass and said, "That's how the beauty plan is. But to be honest, I really didn't expect that the amorous Miss Countess would be a chaste woman, and I was wrong, and if you feel wronged and want to cry, I don't mind giving my broad chest. ”

Alina snorted back, "I'm not a child, but since I've sacrificed the most, it's clear that I should have a bigger share of the spoils." ”

Xenas almost didn't squirt out the ale he was drinking, and coughed violently before he spoke: "I still have some sympathy for you, you mercenary woman!" ”

Alina turned around and said, "It's your question of what to think, I'm concerned about how much I get in return." ”

Xenas rolled his eyes, "How did we decide before?" We have the ownership of the port of Portsmo, and the caravans of the Palchi country will have the right and tax-free rights to do business in this port, so that's all, right? ”

"This is clearly not enough, Mr. Xenas," Alina stroked her hair, which was tossed by the sea breeze, "and in view of your sacrifice of my personal interests in the service of the whole mission, and my own performance in this operation, the original division of rights and interests is obviously unfair, so I solemnly inform you that the original contract must be amended. ”

Cernas drank the rest of the wine, then spat out the wine and said, "What a trouble, although the Countess's request is purely vexatious, but as an admirer of the Countess, in order to make up for the slight damage to your soul, I will still grant your request in large quantities." ”

"Don't talk as if you're gracious to me, I deserve it. You shameless big man! Alina pouted.

Senas frowned and said, "Miss Count, it's so hard to serve. So what compensation should be given to you? It's nerve-wracking, it seems that even if you bring out a whole box of gems, I am afraid you will not be able to satisfy the appetite of your greedy lady. Besides, as a mercenary, taking money is what I'm good at, and paying is the most foreign thing to me. It would not be in our interest to cede more of the actual rights to Port Portsmo. ”

"Squirming like a woman, it's really unusual."

"Don't worry, I have an idea, which will not harm the actual interests of both parties, but also make a little compensation to you, do you want to think about it?"

"Oh, what is it?"

Xenas touched his nose and said, "I want to hire Miss Countess to be the governor of port Portsmo, and as long as this port is still under the control of the Tyres rebels, you will be the governor." You can build this port as you wish, and we will pay you 20% of the annual net income of the port as your personal income, and you can work in Potsmo, or you can stay in Palci and issue your governor's decree, how about it? ”

Alina stood up and looked at the big red-haired man in front of her. A smile gradually appeared in her eyes: "Really? Twenty percent is a lot of money. ”

Senas brazenly said, "I don't think there's anything to be sorry for. First of all, pull the Count of Palchi into the water, then Palch will at least be more inclined to our side in the war between Yaki and us; Secondly, I believe that with the wisdom of Miss Count, the port of Portsmore will be accelerated, and then the Tyles rebels will definitely be able to earn more than the twenty percent, and they should look farther; Again, I'm just a mercenary, and it's not my money anyway, if you want to feel distressed, let Li Tianhao, who appointed me, feel distressed. I'd love to trade someone else's money for Miss Count's smile. ”

Alina finally broke her face and smiled, "You are a real scoundrel, Mr. Xenas. But it sounds exciting. ”

Cernus stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Mademoiselle Countess, for your compliments and promises. The contract was thus concluded. ”
