"Ahem, huh? I haven't paid much attention to that......"

Malone smiled awkwardly, and said perfunctorily—he felt like he was carrying the blame for others—the one who snubbed Tiffany was obviously the one who had died, and the original owner of this body, but now he was going to listen to Tiffany's resentment.

"Yes! A lot of people ...... A lot of people know about our engagement, Nina, Helen Teris, they all want to see you, but they never see ......."

Tiffany blushed and said to Malone, pretending to look down at her fingers, but in fact she was secretly looking up at Malone's face.

"I ......"

Malone was a little stammering, he seemed to understand Tiffany's mood, which made his heart shake a little bit.

It seems that Tiffany has regarded herself, or the original owner of her body, as her future husband for a long time.

And it's not just Tiffany, but most of the nobles of Stormwind, allies of the Ellaran family, and old ministers of the Lothar family...... Perhaps throughout the political and military circles of Stormwind, there are countless relationship chains that have been built because of the engagement between himself and Tiffany, and the marriage between the most powerful of the Stormwind military and the wealthy Elalan family, with the young man and woman as the only heirs of their respective families, has built a huge force enough to influence the pattern of Stormwind City.

But Marlon had to ruin it all - Tiffany was a lovely girl, and she was even more beautiful than Althea, but Marlon couldn't forget the morning he left Nighttown, when Althea hugged him tightly and fell asleep - he made a promise to Vera that he would never let Althea be harmed.

"Tiffany, I'...... I may not be able to fulfill our marriage contract anymore. ”

Malone hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind, and he said frankly to Tiffany.

Although Malone thought he was ready for any reaction from Tiffany, when he actually said it, he found ...... This girl was far more pitiful than she had imagined—for a moment, Marlon wished he had never said such a thing to Tiffany.

At the sound of Malone's words, Tiffany jerked her head up—her eyes were red all at once, and crystal tears filled her beautiful turquoise eye sockets, hazy and pitiful.

The girl pursed her lips tightly and stared at Marlon like this, without saying a word; Her hands twisted and twisted vigorously on her knees, until the joints turned white and her fair skin turned red, and there was no intention of stopping.

"For ...... Why? ”

After a long while, Tiffany let go of her hand, wiped her eyes with the back of her half-red and half-white hand, and asked with a sob.

"Because...... In Nighttown, I already have a lover of my own, I can't...... Turn your back on her. ”

Malone felt that every word that came out of his mouth was extremely difficult, but he still said it - some things must be solved as soon as possible, and the more you delay and soft-hearted, the easier it is to hurt more people.

"It's the one called...... Althea's Girls? ”

Tiffany said the name that had been haunting her for an afternoon, but she felt no sense of relief; She stared into Marlon's dark eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Yes...... But, Tiffany, how do you know...... Althea? ”

Malone looked at Tiffany in surprise - he didn't remember mentioning Althea in Tiffany's presence.

"Because...... Marlon: When you pass out, you think about her name. ”

Tiffany bit her lip - she felt very reluctant - and her fiancé confessed to her face that she had a new lover, and ...... Her fiancé never mentioned her in front of those soldiers.

"Yes, I ...... Just before I left Nighttown, before I came here, Althea and I, we still slept in the same bed/...... Do you see what I mean, Tiffany? ”

Malone said cautiously - Tiffany didn't look so athletic, and Malone was worried that he would say something that would overstimulate the somewhat weak girl.

However, Tiffany is much stronger than Malone imagined.

"When did you meet? Is it in Stormwind? Or the West Spring Fortress? ”

Tiffany wiped away a handful of tears, she didn't faint from what Malone said, and she didn't pay attention to what Malone said about his intimacy with the girl named Althea, even though it had stabbed her already scarred heart.

"No, that was after the orc invasion, and it's only been a few months now. Her father was the leader of the refugees in Nighttown, a priest named Ellro......"

Malone shook his head and said.

"I don't want to know what the name of that Excellency is! So...... Marlon, are you and that Miss Althea because of her father? Because her father was the leader of the refugees, and my father had fled to the north of the continent? ”

Tiffany interrupted Marlon's words loudly in a gaffe, she stood up suddenly, her hands clenched tightly into two small fists, and waved fiercely, looking menacing, but her face was pale.

"No, of course not...... My affair with Althea has nothing to do with her father. ”

To be honest, Tiffany's guess just now was already a bit vicious...... But Malone didn't bother with her, he knew that it wasn't Tiffany's fault that all this happened, it was just ...... The yin and yang of fate are just wrong.

"That'...... She must be a very beautiful girl. ”

Tiffany's legs trembled a little under her long skirt, as if she couldn't support her body, so she sat back down, sat opposite Malone, and said in a sour tone.

"Yes...... She's not as pretty as you are, though. I mean, Tiffany...... I'm not saying you're bad, it's just between me and Althea...... More feeling, so ...... I'm sorry. ”

Malone felt a little clumsy - but it was inevitable, he had never seen such a beautiful and adorable girl as Tiffany, and the first thing he had done to this poor girl was ...... is to ruthlessly destroy the love she has been longing for for many years.

"But...... Obviously, Ma Long and I were the first to know each other! than that Miss Althea...... More than ten years early! And, we've been having a lot of fun together as kids, and we're still engaged, and ......."

Tiffany was a little flustered and said countless reasons to prove that she and Marlon were the most suitable pair; But in Malone's slightly apologetic and pitiful gaze, Tiffany's voice grew smaller and quieter until it disappeared—she knew that what she said had nothing to do with love.
