Chapter 20: A Little Happiness

Although Adlan is now the uncrowned king of Lordaeron, there are still many things he can't handle. In addition to official affairs, there are naturally private matters.

For example, when Brigitte returned to Anaheim City with Edlane and entered the Fort of Lords together, many of the bigwigs had some playful expressions on their faces, because they seemed to have seen what Lisa Whitemayne would do after the regular meeting, and began to wonder if this small Fort of Lords could withstand the bombardment of the priest who had already entered the hero rank.

It is true that this meeting ended relatively quickly, and even Luo Ning, who knew the least about the atmosphere, was secretly "helped" by his wife, rubbing the soft (harmonious) meat on his waist and leaving with the bigwigs after the meeting.

Then the three people in the conference hall were left awkwardly, Adelan, Lisa, and Bridget.

Through the open windows, you can feel the silence spreading in the air, and the dryness and coldness of the late spring are wrapped in the damp cold, which makes the temperature in the conference hall drop a little more.

Although Adelan inherited the Ember Bringer, embarrassment completely replaced Lisa's joy when Brigitte was brought to Lisa by him.

Originally, he thought that his great victory and the great exploits of the heir of the Ashes Messenger could be regarded as diluting this inevitable result, but after Edlan looked at Lisa's plain face with some sadness, he opened his mouth, and finally failed to turn those excuses into any words, only muttered, "I'm sorry." ”

This excuse may not be seeking recognition from anyone, but rather a mixture of helplessness, a wry smile, self-deprecation, or a deeper layer of obscurity. But Edlan still has to say it, this is the only way for a person like him who doesn't have the air of a king to open the Crystal Palace and sit on the blessings of all people. After all, if you can't use "strong" to get a woman to admit it, you can only do it by trying to make the other person understand in this way, and the first step to understanding is naturally to admit your mistake......

Then, the conversation did not last, and after the sentence was finished, the end of the topic was reached, and the silence fell again, making all three people present seem a little overwhelmed.

"Edlan, you're right, it's me who is wrong. Lisa ...... It's that I can't help but be lonely...... I'm sorry. But Bridget stepped up, taking the blame for the mistake and taking Edlan's mistake out of her own right.

"......" Adelan wanted to take it all down, but if he did, I'm afraid it would make it more difficult for Lisa, right? It's like his boyfriend with a new love constantly showing affection in front of him, it's too torturous, so Adeline chooses to be silent.

"Alas......" is like the calm and desolate sigh of a death row inmate after he has recognized the crime he has committed, which makes people read as if he was exhausted after hysteria. Lisa came up from the window and said to the two of them, "I've known it for a long time, I've known it since I was a child, and we've known it since we were in the convent...... Bridget. Your feelings are so blunt, so blunt that this bastard won't refuse at all......"

Lisa hugged Bridget, who was a little overwhelmed, as if she had accepted her fate, and continued, "And you...... Edlan, your love is too big, and you've been like that since you were a child, you weren't destined to stay in the same place for too long, I knew it for a long time......"

"Lisa, you ......"

"It's so cheap!" Lisa pulled Bridget's arm and walked out, without looking back, "Let's go, tonight is the girl's pajama meeting, I have to interrogate you well, you have to be ready, I will let you feel the prestige of the Holy Light Grand Prosecutor of Anaheim City." ”

"Hmph, isn't the Grand Prosecutor great? I'm the general of the Scarlet Crusaders, so I won't eat you. ”

"That's the 'former' Scarlet Crusader, too!"

"Hmph, Adelan is already ready to arrange me for a new official position......"

Seeing that the two of them were a little overwhelmed at first to what he thought was tense, and then suddenly to the moment they seemed to be back to being like sisters as a child, Edlan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he is quite emotional, sure enough, it is a good thing that the family and everything is prosperous, if these two make trouble for him every day, how can he be in any mood to farm, the hard work of men after opening the Crystal Palace is so simple, straightforward and boring.

"That's great, Lord Beast Lord in heat. There was no second person in sight except Edlan, and another voice suddenly appeared in the chamber.

The sudden sound did not surprise Edlan, but the very familiar complaint made him hold his forehead as if he had a headache, and said helplessly: "...... Vanessa, no matter how many times you say it, you can't change the habit of eavesdropping...... Also, since you've heard it from beginning to end, can't you rejoice that I'm about to make a great contribution to Lordaeron's post-war birth rate?"

"Wow, your jokes are really numbing. So from the conversation just now, is there anything about Lordaeron that will contribute because you forcibly married another beauty?" Speaking of which, Vanessa, who emerged from the shadows, pressed her nightwalk with her exaggerated hands and took a few steps back, "Have you been unable to suppress your bestial desires and are about to start attacking the other marriageable women in your territory?" ”

After being relaxed for a long time, Adlan finally remembered that his little junior sister was a guy who liked poisonous tongues and sullen words, and he also made a funny appearance that the beast would come into heat when he saw a beautiful woman, and approached Vanessa in a few steps, as if he was acting in a stage play, holding the other party's waist with one hand, and putting the other hand on her shoulder, looking down at each other with a tall male body, "So, my dear little junior sister, are you ready to become the first victim of a beast lord like me?"

However, Adelan's expected trick did not continue, and Vanessa fell silent unexpectedly, her black eyes shining with an unknown brilliance, and the short black hair that was designed to move flexibly also made Adelan feel unexpectedly nostalgic.

In the past few years, Vanessa has supported the entire intelligence system of Anaheim City with such a petite and weak body in his arms, and has made excellent achievements in all aspects, which not only blocked those who questioned Edlan's ability to hand over such an important department to a young and inexperienced woman, and even suspected of having an improper relationship with Adelan, climbed to the head of such an important department.

But only a few people such as Adelan know how much effort and hardship Vanessa has put in behind such success, and what is even more surprising is that she has maintained a steady growth in her own strength while dealing with such a huge intelligence network and internal affairs of the department, and now she is also a hero peak level

In today's Azeroth environment, only Mavi and her watchmen have such strong personal strength, right?

Of course, many oily and water-rich departments can be said to hate Vanessa and her Shadow Creed to the core, and with the existence of the Shadow Creed, those who want to make a fortune in the country, or make money for money, have almost all become good babies after being punished once by the evidence provided by the Shadow Creed, at least on the surface.

These are also some of the contributions that Vanessa and her ministry have brought to the table, if her father, Edwin, as Chief Archon, was overly heartbroken for the construction, management, and development of Anaheim City, then Vanessa, as a daughter, is the shadow of this light that secretly guards this light, and willingly becomes the root that is not usually seen in order to support the trees that continue to grow......

It is precisely because she is such a Vanessa that Adelan has a very tolerant attitude towards her "nonsense" and "eavesdropping" and other behaviors, and will often do similar things to cooperate with her stress-relieving behavior.

Only this time...... I seem to have gone a little too far. Just as Adelan was reflecting, he felt that Vanessa, who was holding his waist and almost wanted something to happen, saw a rare red face, and her breathing was a lot heavier, which was definitely a taboo for a stalker, but Vanessa turned her head away like an innocent girl, and replied in an imperceptible voice: "Yes......"

"W-What?!" With Edlan's current strength, he could hear even the smallest voice, let alone Vanessa's muttering in a state of shyness that he had never seen before.

Although Edlan was worried about Vanessa's big white legs when he was a child, now he is no longer the little piglet who has not only never arched a cabbage but has never seen a cabbage, he has now broken away from the identity that he wants to arch but can't arch, and has completely become a winner in life.

However, after Vanessa's shy reaction, he still couldn't help but feel palpitations, is this the sadness of men? Always eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Although Adelan didn't know when Vanessa had reached a point where she could be ashamed, he still wanted to confirm the other person's feelings.

"Are you serious?"

Vanessa took a few breaths, then turned her head to stare into Adelan's eyes, but after a while, she looked away as if she was too shy to look at him, and stammered something like this: "If it's you...... Also, it's not that you can't ...... But...... Are you responsible for me?"

"Okay, since you asked so sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy, you will be the first victim!" With that, Adelane picked up Vanessa in the way of a princess, "I will always be a victim alone......

"Yikes!"

The "poisonous woman" who had been terrified by the cunning villain on the outside was now helpless in Edlan's arms, allowing the bastard who had finally set his eyes on himself into the lounge of the conference hall......

The door was slammed shut, and Vanessa grew that night with the help of a time-traveler who already had a lot of experience......
