Chapter 24: The Best Outcome
"What do you mean?"
"I just like what you mean."
"What do you like?"
"The kind of liking between men and women."
"Huh?"
“…… Can you react normally? I seem to have said before, when I return to the country, I will ask you to be my co-emperor, right? ”
"There is such a thing, but isn't it something like an invitation to 'I'll take you to play'?"
"Of course it can't be such an invitation, first of all, co-ruling emperor is a very glorious title, and it is impossible to grant it to anyone casually. In the earliest Solomonic Empire, the two co-emperors had to be extremely close comrades-in-arms who could be trusted completely and unconditionally; However, from the Fifth Age onwards, the establishment of the hereditary system can basically be understood as husband and wife. ”
"So...... What can I understand as a marriage proposal? ”
"Of course not!" Sheila was unusually embarrassed and stomped on him hard, "I was the one who hinted that you could propose to me!" Of course, it will be after I return to China. ”
"But, Sheila ......" Aske hesitated for a moment, and finally explained what he had said to Nora to Sheila again.
“…… So because I have to go back eventually, it's really not good to delay your marriage. Before he could finish speaking, Sheila was already shouting:
"Don't!"
"Why?"
"What if you don't come back?" Sheila said with a slick voice.
"Then you can find someone else to be the co-emperor." Asker said.
"The question is, how do I know if you're coming back?" Sheila said, "If I waited for you for years and never heard from you......"
"Then you'll go find someone else." Asker said.
"And then you came back suddenly." Sheila said.
"That only proves that we don't have fate." Asker said.
"Scumbag."
"How is this a scumbag?" Aske smiled bitterly, "The real scumbag should be ......"
"Well, I don't care what you think." Sheila interrupted him, "Anyway, you're not allowed to go. If you want to check your mother's condition, when you can go back, I'll send someone else to go back in your place, right? ”
Eh, this seems to be possible...... Asker was a little moved just now, and then he reacted:
"Wait, what if it's just a one-way back? The kind of ...... you can't come back when you go back."
"Then I can't let you go." Sheila's eyes immediately widened and she said, "What should I do if you're gone?" ”
"Don't talk as if you were my creditor." Aske said helplessly, "I don't owe you any money. ”
"You don't owe me any money, but you kidnapped me from Constantinople and now want to abandon me irresponsibly?" Sheila said in a complaining tone.
"What do you mean by 'abduction'? I'm saving you, okay! Aske couldn't complain.
"What do you mean by 'save me'? If it weren't for you, I'd be flying to Cireth in a royal helicopter! Sheila said in an excited tone, "Then maybe you can meet other handsome guys there!" ”
"Then you can meet other handsome guys when you go to Cirith now!" Asker was also excited.
"Okay, I'll go now!" Sheila gestured to leave.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, don't go......" Aske quickly pulled her down.
"If you want to leave, then I'll leave now, and you can find someone else to help you fight the bronze dragon." Sheila threatened him with this.
"Okay, okay, I'm not leaving." Asker could only speak.
"I see." Sheila immediately said suspiciously, "You want to stabilize me first, and then suddenly walk away when the time comes, right?" ”
Asker: ..................
Hell, why should I lie to Sheila.
"Don't be so wary of me." He also wanted to work hard, "Look, how many levels are you?" I'll help you get to the demigod level and train you to be a super strong arcane mage, and you can at least trust me a little more, okay? ”
"Wait." Sheila began to play tricks, "I reluctantly joined because you needed an arcane mage on your team. What's more, even if I am not a mercenary, I can still live a rich life in Ciris! ”
"So be it." Asker decided not to dwell on "who made and who lost", and changed the subject and said, "I'll help you restore the country, how about you help me fight the bronze dragon?" ”
"Why don't you go back to the country now, and you don't want to go back?" Sheila offered to change the terms.
"No, you really don't plan to return to China?" Asker was taken aback, not knowing whether to be angry or to cry.
"Even if I don't return to China, there will still be my sister." Sheila said seriously, "But there's only one Asker in the world." ”
Asker: ???
It's not good, it's a little heartwarming.
Seeing that he was silent and still didn't let go, Sheila was also a little sad and painful in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red with sadness:
"Asker, you've been here for almost three years. Are you and I ...... With us, so many memories have been created, aren't they worth keeping for you? ”
Aske was silent and asked her rhetorically:
"So, Sheila, suppose I'm with you. Later, I went to another plane for something and was looking for a way to come back, and someone over there told me not to come back, do you want me to listen to her or not? ”
Sheila was silent and unable to answer.
"At the end of the day, life is all about making choices." Asker concluded, "What hasn't changed is that we always expect the best, and we don't hesitate to take risks to do so. ”
"If I had chosen to stay here, I would have lost the best possible outcome forever. On the other hand, if I choose to go back, I can fight to be able to come back again. Sheila, you're so smart, you must understand my choice, right? ”
Sheila:..................
Like, it should, indeed, there is a little bit of truth in that.
…………………………
"So you're so convinced by him?" Medea sneered in hatred.
"Because he's right." Sheilat argued, "If it were me, I would also like my parents and lovers to take care of both." If I were to give up my parents for the sake of my lover and not try to get the best results, I would definitely not be reconciled. ”
"What, that's the best thing he could do!" Medea covered her face and said, "If you think about it, it's true for him, but for us: stay here, and he's 100% not leaving; If you go back, you won't necessarily come back! Isn't it clear what we should choose? ”
"That's right." Sheila pretended to know this, but in fact, of course, she had already figured it out.
It's just that she really can't be as selfish as Medea and can directly tell Aske that she wants him to give up for her own sake. Wait, Medea didn't go to Aske herself, but asked me to say that maybe she wanted to use me because she didn't want to be this wicked person?
As she pondered suspiciously, Medea waved her hand impatiently and said:
"Forget it, I'll go find him myself. Next week, let's take some time out of your way to get the other girls out of the way, and then I'll take the opportunity to convince Asker. ”
"Next week?" Sheila asked thoughtfully.
"yes, I still have a little work to wrap up." Medea said without changing her face.
