Asker was a little uncomfortable.

If there is anything about Medea, it is because he was overturned; Eleanor's affair was because he was arranged; He really couldn't seem to find a suitable excuse for that Mi'er's matter.

As an adult man, it's still a bit embarrassing to let women take the initiative in this kind of thing.

But when Mi'er made a move, his mind was indeed blank for a while, and when he came back to his senses......

In short, it is probably the consequence of not taking the initiative for a long time, that is, every time it is time to take the initiative, it is a beat slower than the woman.

With this beat, the dominance changes hands. Although the result has not changed, the process is rather humiliating.

No, take the initiative!

Asker, who had learned the hard way like this, was determined to be a real man and could no longer be arranged.

Soon after he made up his mind, as if Heaven was testing him, Matilda found him in the Grand Palace.

"Nora is here?" Asker was a little surprised.

"Yes, the Holy Maiden wants to see you." Matilda was slightly nervous, because she was afraid that when her sister returned, the brother-in-law told her what had happened, and she might be questioned.

But those luxuries are too tempting...... Ah, no, it's because of Sister Adelaide's please, after all, both sides are sisters, and it's not good to offend either side.

Besides, Sister Adelaide also said that if Sister Sophie really asks for the guilt, she can help me carry it.

Matilda, who thought like this, plucked up her courage again and said:

"Just south of the city, in Count Siegel's newly built manor, the Holy Maiden is already waiting for you there."

"Hmm." Just as Matilda was thinking about what other reasons she should use to persuade her brother-in-law if he didn't agree, she heard Asque nod and smile:

"Okay, I'll go over now."

"Huh?" Matilda was caught off guard by this answer, but she was quickly overjoyed and hurriedly said, "My car is right outside the palace, shall I give you a ride, brother-in-law?" ”

"Well, that's a problem for you."

I couldn't figure out why my sister-in-law was so active, so Asker simply agreed.

……

Nola.

It's been a long time.

In the back of the car, Asker, who was still immersed in his thoughts, suddenly heard his sister-in-law Matilda ask curiously:

"Brother-in-law, how did you meet the Holy Maiden in the first place?"

"Didn't your sister tell you?" Aske replied with a smile, "We used to be part of a mercenary team. ”

"Mercenary group?" Matilda was a little unbelievable.

Eleanor didn't keep it secretive when she returned, but she wasn't interested in mentioning it either. However, even the few words in small talk seem too sensational.

For example, the White Emperor and the Red Witch of the Helsingør Empire in the North, the Holy Maiden of Italy and the Holy See, the Storm Empress and the Crimson General of the Eastern Solomonic Empire, and the Captain of the Ghost Fleet in the Mediterranean...... All of them are demigods who are overlords or leaders of a faction and control the life and death of thousands of people.

Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of the social circle, people who are awesome naturally tend to get together with awesome people, which is understandable.

It's just the head of the regiment Ask...... Truth be told, Eleanor has largely not mentioned the name for the past six years.

Occasionally Otto II brought it up, but she only smiled sadly and did not speak, causing Theofano and Matilda, although they also knew about this man, thought that it was some small person, and died early.

Otherwise, how can you explain the fact that everyone else is successful and you are still unknown?

As a result, this guy has been silent for six years, and suddenly came out and married his sister, and the two major forces, one south and one north, pointed out that they wanted to rob this person, so Matilda didn't know what to say.

Damn, I'm also Her Royal Highness the Princess! Why are there no princes from all nations who have come down to fight for me?

Asker didn't know the envy and jealousy in Matilda's heart, he just sighed wistfully and said:

"Anyway, it's a long, long story......

It spans ten years, and it can be written as a story of one or two million words, of course, it is impossible to tell Matilda in detail in the car, not to mention that the driver is also in the car.

Anyway, the car quickly drove to the Siegel Manor in the south of the city and stopped at the meet and greet area inside.

Matilda, who got out of the car, looked curiously at the newly built manor and compared it to her own mansion in the Duchy of Saxony.

Asker, however, had no interest in architecture or garden layout. For from the moment he came down, his gaze had been fixed on a white shadow under the porch in front of him.

Although the other party was wearing a white robe to hide his figure, and he couldn't see his face clearly while wearing a hood, Asker knew that it was Nora.

Even if Mi'er arranged a part...... But there are some things that he has to do by himself after all.

"Nola, long time no see." Asker beckoned to her.

The white figure was stunned for a moment, as if it was a little surprised that the other party could recognize him at first sight.

After a moment of silence, she took off her hood, revealing her flaxen-colored soft hair and her beautiful face, which was as beautiful as yesterday.

"Well, it's been a long time, Captain."

Matilda, beside her, opened her mouth silently, and then, quite consciously, lifted the hem of her skirt and hurried to the side—where the owner of the manor, Count Siegel, beckoned to her, signaling her not to be a light bulb in her place.

Aske followed Nora through the porch, and the two of them came to a small room at the back of the manor.

The room was neatly furnished. To be exact, it was arranged in the style of the main hall of the manor in the Hearthfire Island, which made Aske immediately feel a little nostalgic and emotional.

"If I'm not mistaken, the day I left, Hearthfire Island should be on your side, right?" Asker was thoughtful.

"Yes." Nora smiled, pointed to the chair next to the table, and said, "Sit down." ”

There are nine chairs at the table in the main hall, and everyone sits casually at first, but at the end there is a consensus on their respective positions. Nora was referring to the same position where Aske was used to sitting, away from the kitchen.

So Asker sat down in that place, and Nora went to the kitchen, and in a few moments brought out a plate of cooked fish tart, topped with steaming oil, and spread with shallots, garlic, and chili flakes, which looked very tasty and tempting.

"Ah, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking, and I really miss it." Asker said with a smile.

Although he had only been away for 6 days in his perception, of course he would not mention this matter to Nora at this time.

"Slow down." Nora smiled slightly, and placed the fish and cutlery in front of him, while she stood next to him with a plate, as if she wanted to hear his evaluation.

Asker then picked up the cutlery and moved him to take a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

Before he could swallow, he burst into tears.

The citric acid, which was so thick that he was about to lose his teeth, the bitter fish gall that made people want to vomit, and the super-thick chili oil, which had been boiled for an unknown amount of time, were mixed with a strange smell that was disguised as ordinary cooking oil after being decolorized, and he was busy spitting it out as soon as he entered it, and his tears and snot flowed non-stop.

"Is it delicious, Asker?" Nora watched his expression with great interest and said with a smile, "This dish, I call it 'Greetings from a long absence'. ”

"The bitterness in it symbolizes the pain I have been waiting for you all these years; The sour smell represents the jealousy I felt when I heard that you and Ellie were married; And the last spicy taste is the complicated mood in my heart full of anger and nowhere to vent when I saw you for the first time just now. ”

"Do you feel my mixed feelings through this dish, Asker? No, or do you prefer to be called something else? Her fingers tapped her chin thoughtfully, "For example, Ellie's husband?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Aske had already started the conceptualization of his body, and all the terrifying tastes that remained in his mouth were conceptualized and cleared.
