Chapter 5: Secrets

"Charming, right?"

The woman's voice suddenly sounded on the side, startling Robin.

He looked back and found that Jeselyn had sat down beside him, for some unknown time.

The swaying figures in the room and the torches lit around her illuminated her melon seed face.

Jeseline winked at him, her gold-rimmed glasses flattering her face to an unusually gentle and temperamental look.

Even in such a chaotic banquet, she still kept her clothes clean.

Together with her blonde curls that hung down to the back, they were all unusually neatly groomed.

"Lord Jeetheryne." Robin nodded politely.

A moment earlier, he had learned from the mouth of the king's guards that the king's courtier had the noble title of earl.

(In the West, titles are divided into dukes and princes in order, except for dukes, in informal occasions, they are all addressed by lords)

"Just call me Jewsie, Lord Robin." The other laughed softly.

"Okay," Robin coughed and cleared his throat, "Jessie, then please call me Robin in the future." ”

"......" the other party was stunned for a moment, "I can't do this." ”

"Then ......" Robin frowned, and was about to say, I can only call you Your Excellency Lord in the future.

But the other party's face gently pressed up to his ear.

Robin's heart pounded, and he could almost feel the coldness of the other cheeks, and the faint scent of her body......

"Robin."

To his great surprise, Jeong-hee had already left his face and sat up straight.

The other party looked at him with a light smile, a pair of turquoise pupils shining, "Then, in the future, when the two of us are alone, let's call each other like this." ”

“……”

"It's a privilege to be favored by Lord Robin." Jiexi smiled slightly, revealing two pear vortices at the corners of her mouth.

"Me too." Robin gathered his thoughts.

"Then again." Jessie lowered her gaze to the drunk, unconscious Gail, and there was a glint in her green eyes hidden behind the lenses of her glasses, "Grand Duke Rosa Lind really sees people accurately. Even if you're so drunk, you haven't divulged a single secret about your time in Sekorid. “

Robin's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at her warily.

What she had just said was like a hammer hitting his heart.

Robin only felt a chill run down his spine.

Secret?

What did she know?

Does she know anything about Kaye?

Heloise's?

Or is it something else?!

The horror in Robin's eyes was taken into the eyes of Jiexi.

The other party smiled lightly, "Don't look at me like that." Lord Robin. All I can say is that there are some things that the kingdom's intelligence is more sensitive than you think. ”

"Is this a threat?" Robin's face turned extremely ugly.

His mind was full of thoughts about what the other party knew.

At the same time, he was trying to suppress himself from looking in Kaye's direction.

Even any look of her eyes may reveal her true identity.

The woman in front of him was so terrible that Robin didn't dare to look her eyes at all, for fear that the other party would read something from him......

What to read out?

Robin was startled, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his brain.

It was at this moment that the apprehension and nervousness in his heart suddenly disappeared.

No, she doesn't know.

Jeseline in front of her may know about Saiya's assassination, but she doesn't know Kaye's identity or what happened to the vampire and Heloise.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have tried to get Gael drunk just now in order to get the truth out of her mouth.

I will not use the so-called [secret] to probe myself as I do now.

It's disgusting......

I almost fell for it.

"No, Robin, please believe that we are always for your good, how can it be a threat?"

Jess said gently, staring at the change in the expression on Robin's face, even though she still had a smile on her face, she had lost her smile in the green eyes behind the lenses.

What a terrible chosen one.

However, both Robin and she are aware of a problem at the same time -

Even Robin's quick reaction did not reveal any secrets.

But the change in his face just now, as well as the sentence "Is this a threat?" One thing has been confirmed-

That is the secret itself, which is real.

Although Jeong-hee doesn't know what it is yet.

Robin took a deep breath and smiled politely, "I hope so, Lord Jeseline. ”

He changed his previous intimacy and called her Jeselyn instead of Jeuny.

The other party's eyes were shocked, and there was a slight loss and uneasiness in his heart.

"But I suppose that if it's really for my sake," Robin smiled apologetically politely, "then please show the least of respect and never try to snoop on my [secret]!" ”

He specially accentuated the word secret.

The other party's whole body shook, and the wine glass in his hand trembled.

The invulnerable Earl Jeselyn lost a moment of sanity and calm.

But, fortunately, she quickly got it back.

"I'm sorry, Lord the Chosen." She lowered her head and apologized, "Please forgive me for my presumptuousness. Please believe my promise that nothing like this will ever happen again. ”

"I hope so, Jessy." Robin snorted heavily.

At least his name has been changed, though.

Jeseline nodded, put her glass down, placed her right hand on her chest, and bowed slightly to Robin.

"But," she said, looking up, retracting her smile and speaking softly, "there is one thing I want to explain to you, Lord Robin. It's also about your future. “

"What's the matter?" Robin blinked.

"There are too many people here, please come with me." Jeseline stood up with her glass in hand, turned back to Robin and bowed slightly, and walked out of the hall.
