Chapter 908: Andrea's Determination (IV.)
Andrea's demeanor seems to be saying that she is going on an outing, rather than going to the enemy's base camp alone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tamara's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and clenched her fists and roared.
"You stupid woman, what the hell is going on in your head, how can you go to the enemy's base camp to negotiate!"
"Why not?" Andrea smiled and asked, "It's better to meet in the city and chat over afternoon tea than to be bitten by mosquitoes in the wilderness, right?" ”
"Please, can you be serious! Don't you want to make peace talks a success? Tamara used one last bit of patience to persuade Andrea, "If you take this mission seriously, you should negotiate with Roland in a neutral and safe territory, instead of dealing with the situation, and you should not take the initiative to negotiate on his territory, this will not only damage the dignity of the 'Dragon's Eye' but also be dangerous, I am not questioning Roland's character, but he is only a guest in Kitland City, if Beowulf takes the opportunity to negotiate to detain you and put you under house arrest...... Have you ever considered how serious the consequences are! ”
Andrea nodded, "What you said makes sense, but I don't like it, so I'm going to go into the city to meet him." ”
Tamara was already desperate for her willfulness, and sat down to breathe quickly, and it took a long time to regain her composure, and she looked up at her coldly: "You have changed, why?" ”
Andrea smiled bitterly, "I haven't done anything in my life at will, and now I want to try it." ”
"Just risking your own life for this, just for the sake of momentary pleasure and ignoring the overall situation?" Tamara simply grieved, "Love is terrible, turning smart people into shallow fools!" ”
"Yes, because I know that if I don't go back to the wild now, I won't have a chance in the future." Andrea closed her eyes, her thick upturned eyelashes trembling slightly, "Dragon City is just my second hometown, Kitland is where I was born and raised, after today, I will probably lose two hometowns forever, goodbye to my compatriots, my brother, and the man I like...... I can't control my own destiny, but at least I can live a little more authentically and leave fewer regrets in my life. ”
Tamara listened to her until she left, and she couldn't say what it was like.
The clock of the undead does not need to be wound, and Tamara has long been accustomed to being alone, and she does not feel lonely when she is bored from morning to night. Today, she feels that life is like a year, and the hands of the clock seem to move very slowly.
After playing the piano for a while, reading a book for a while, and finally staying up until the afternoon, Andrea has no news, probably is drinking tea and flirting with Roland in a private room of a restaurant in Kitland, as for peace talks, does she really care? Tamara was skeptical.
Thinking like this, a nameless fire suddenly rushed out of her heart, feeling that she was so stupid, worrying about other people's affairs, and others still didn't appreciate it, why bother?
"Ampisa, get ready for afternoon tea."
"Yes, miss."
Amphisa is a good housekeeper, and quickly prepared refreshments and brought them over.
Sitting at the table covered with white linen, Tamara told Amphisa to pull back the curtains, the afternoon sun shining on her face, her delicate skin tingling slightly, and her eyes faintly dizzy. Divine immunity allows her to survive in the sun, but it does not completely overcome the vampire's photophobic nature. Usually she always pays attention to avoiding direct sunlight, but today she deliberately exposed herself to the summer sun, maybe this is more like enjoying afternoon tea? Even if it comes at the cost of self-abuse......
Tamara quickly gave up her elegance in the afternoon sun, she was like a dehydrated fish, dizzy and weak, until Amphisa saw that the situation was not good, closed the curtains to block the sun, her face improved slightly, took a sip of black tea, and said to herself: "Andrea may not be back tonight......"
Amphisa glanced at the mistress incomprehensibly, not understanding what she meant.
Tamara's prophecy doesn't come true, and as soon as the sun sets, Andrea returns, bringing back a completely bad news that she expected.
"There is no agreement, and the gap between the conditions offered by the two sides is too great."
"What terms of armistice did Roland's side propose?" Tamara poured tea for Andrea with her own hands, which was rare and courteous, and her mood was cloudy and sunny.
Andrea took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile, "Ask us to evacuate our positions immediately and hand over the property of Dragon Castle and its surroundings to them intact." ”
Tamara exclaimed: "That kid is really ruthless, he wants to take over the territory of the Dragon's Eye, how do you plan to settle you?" ”
"He demanded that the Dragon's Eye be disbanded on the spot, that the original members leave the mountains of Lucia to fend for themselves, and that those who are willing to convert to Sindra can join the Kolath Legion, and he promises to find another place for us to live, as for me...... As long as he nodded his head, he could continue to be the leader of the Dragonblood Clan, and Roland also revealed his lofty ideals to me, inviting me to help him realize the cause of independent construction in the Far East, and maybe even get a title like Countess afterwards. Andrea smiled self-deprecatingly.
"This is not bad for you, if he changes the title of countess to an engagement ring, you will probably agree on the spot, right?" Tamara asked half-jokingly.
Andrea propped up her elbows and groaned, as if she was seriously considering the hypothesis. After a long time, she muttered, "We have very little time to talk about business, but in fact, we all know in our hearts that we can't talk about it at all." ”
"What are you talking about the rest of the time?" Tamara asked.
"I talked about the adventures we had together, the interesting stories of our childhoods, and before parting, I asked him to take care of my younger brother on my behalf, and he agreed, and finally took my hand and said two words, which made me sad."
Tamara held her breath and waited for her to continue.
Andrea did have this strong urge to talk at the moment, and after a moment of silence continued: "He asked me if I could not go, and I said unless he broke my leg and locked me in a cage. ”
"Actually, you'd love to stay, wouldn't you?" Tamara muttered in a low voice, not so much guessing Andrea's true thoughts, as if she was dissecting herself, "You make a fierce resistance, and your heart actually desires him to really do that, so that you are just an innocent victim who is bullied by him, and you can only be at his mercy, and you don't have to make a difficult choice between emotion and reason." ”
Andrea sighed, did not directly answer her guess, and said to herself: "He said that he would regret letting me go in the future, but forcing me to stay, watching the destruction of the 'Dragon's Eye' will definitely leave me with a knot in my heart...... Regrets with other self can't leave me with regrets. By the end of the sentence, her eyes were already shining.
Tamara looked at her side face with mixed feelings, knowing that she was in pain, but she couldn't help but envy her pain.
Andrea is a person with strong willpower, and quickly hid her thoughts deeply, wiped the corners of her eyes and looked up to Tamara and calmly summarized: "Roland and I have done our best, since we can't talk, let's go to war." ”
