Chapter 353: Falling Flowers Are Intentional, Flowing Water Is Ruthless
“…… Miss, could you please get up, your boobs are pressing on me. ”
Xinlos felt that his broken mouth was probably incurable.
Hearing the Count's words, the warm nephrite that pressed down on his face quickly left him. And when the darkness in front of him receded, Sinloth finally saw who the woman in front of him was.
Somalina, dressed in a long dress, rubbed her knees, tears glistening in her eyes.
Oops, Somalina again. This girl was obviously wearing a long skirt, but she could still run so fast, and she didn't even have time to react...... No, now is not the time to care about this.
Counting the grove, this was the second time that Sinloth had launched an attack on her chest. Seeing how she looked like she was about to cry, it was really ...... It's so cute.
The reserved young lady would even show such an expression.
[Although I know that sooner or later there will be such a day, but when fate really comes, there are a few people who can face it calmly. The pride and courage that he used to boast of in the face of fate did not have the slightest power to resist. For the first time, the girl realized how vulnerable she was. Perhaps, you can ......]
[1. Somalina, you seem to be in trouble. Can you tell me about it, maybe I can help...... No, I don't mean anything else, just to make amends for these two offenses. 】
[2. I have touched your breasts, and you are my person.] Woman, this king does not allow you to cry. By the king's side, you just have to be happy. 】
[3. The delicate flowers are so beautiful, if there must be someone who can put you in a wedding dress, then I hope it is me.] I will go to His Excellency the Governor and ask him to change his mind. 】
Looking at the system's prompts, Sinloth realized. But just as Sinloth hesitated, Somalina had already collected her mood.
"Neuropathy ......"
Staring at Xinluos, who was already able to get out of bed in front of her, the corners of the girl's mouth with hazy teary eyes were slightly hooked, as if she wanted to say something. But she didn't know what she was worried about, and she still didn't say anything. The girl clutched her chest, ignoring Sinloth. Leaving a curse, he continued to walk into the distance.
[She left sadly, but it's too late to stop her now......]
[1. Stop her.] 】
[2. No, my relationship with her hasn't gotten this far. 】
The Earl's pupils flickered. The system's prompt this time was too obvious, and Xinluo already understood it after a little thought. But after all, he already has Mariana, and the matter with Arian Hurd is already sorry for her, so how can he mess with flowers and grass again - whether people are willing to accept it or not is another matter. The Count watched quietly as Somalina disappeared around the corner, and then said to the faithful butler, "Claude." Let's go. ”
"Yes, sir."
The black butler bowed and pushed the Count forward again. The merciless wooden wheel moved forward, crushing a crystal teardrop.
……
When Sinlos saw Louie, he found the door to his room ajar, and the Doge's son sat in a chair in a daze, staring at the letter in front of him. It wasn't until Sinloth knocked on the door that Louie barely reacted.
Louie put away the letter and took a deep breath, hiding the decadence in his eyes.
"Sinloth. I won't say more nonsense. I know what you want to ask...... Naturally, my father did this for his reasons, and if it were me, I would never give up such an opportunity. I know it's hard to be in your current situation, but you have to understand that if you miss an opportunity like this, it's hard to have it again...... Not only you, but also me. ”
Sinloth looked away and landed on the letter.
[Duke's Letter: A letter from a duke who is known for his ugliness and vulgarity to Governor Allen.] The Duchess dies in a suspicious accident, and His Excellency is determined to marry another lady of great family as his wife. In return, of course. He will also be of considerable help to His Excellency the Governor in a hurry......]
I see.
The Count leaned back and looked at Louie, "So what?" ”
……
Under Luy's incessant verbal cannons, Cynlos was finally persuaded to join the war voluntarily.
To be exact. It wasn't Lui who persuaded him, but a certain governor in the HRE.
[Governor Conrad of the HRE: Boy, you have the guts to make a move on my little angel. You must want to defile my lovely Shanado's pure white stockings with your filthy white cloudiness, you must want to lick Shanato's flawless face every day, and make her beautiful face covered with your filthy fluid. You must want to be in the midst of Shanaido's sorrow. Use her body every day and finally let her conceive your child...... Let me tell you, as long as I live, it is absolutely impossible for this to happen! 】
[I said, never! 】
[Do you understand, never! 】
[Well, you won...... In this damn world, my little angel always has to get married. For the sake of the HRE, for the sake of Salian, and for the sake of her mother...... Now, I'm going to give you a chance, a chance for you to kneel beside Shanaido and kiss the back of her hand...... Join Allen's army and bring me the head of the Boneless. For Louis XIV and Ludwig's sake, I will make you a duke. If you can't do it...... Hum ......]
[You don't want to reject me, do you? Well? 】
Although the summary of the system is painful, the general meaning is similar. A certain dead sister has fallen into a great fear of losing her sister, just like a certain celestial daughter, and no matter what they do, Sinloth says that she can understand - if one day, Ellie suddenly returns with a strange man and says that he wants to marry him, Sinlos feels that he will not behave much better than Governor Conrad.
But understanding doesn't mean acceptance.
Bastard, Shanaiduo is indeed very cute, and a pure girl like a little white flower can always arouse people's pity from the bottom of her heart. But...... She's only fourteen! Fourteen years old!
Let's not talk about whether Sinlos, who is already married and is about to have her own children, will divorce Mariana. Shanaiduo's age alone made Xinluo lose his thoughts, and he and Shanaiduo had a good relationship on weekdays, but more often than not, Xinluo just saw her as a little sister next door.
Fourteen years old! What kind of scum does this have to be to bring down a girl of this age. Well, judging by the average age of the world, it is not too much for a fourteen-year-old girl to be a mother......
No matter what Sinloth thought, the Dead Sister Governor had already mentally defined Sinloth's approach to Shanaido. Judging from Luy's account, the Governor was eager to kill Sinloth on the spot. But as a superior. He also knows that things can't be decided by his likes and dislikes.
Shanaido is destined to inherit the HRE in the future, and Conrad is absolutely unwilling to let his sister face everything alone. He doesn't have much time, and finding a husband for his sister has become a general trend. Sinloth was just an earl. Even if he wanted to get rich, the title was too low, and it really hurt Salian's dignity - who knows how he came to the conclusion that Sinroth liked Shanadot, and Shanado liked Sinroth.
The Governor was annoyed. Finally barely kept his senses. While looking for a suitable candidate in Shinra, he set a test for Sinlos - originally Sinlos couldn't get into the eyes of the dead sister, since Shanaiduo liked it, then he would give Sinloth a chance.
As the current leader of the Normans, the Empire's reward for other people's heads alone has been as high as 50,000 Imperial Gold Coins. And if you can kill him, the honor you can get is even more incalculable. Conrad's idea is simple, Sinloth joins the Emperor ** team, returns with the head and honor of the Boneless, and proves his strength and excellence to everyone. And when the time comes. Conrad would take advantage of the situation and push him to the position of duke. Taking advantage of the big victory, Sinloth proposed to Shanaido again. And after some thought, His Excellency the Governor agreed to Sinloth's request.
Such a script may be the best outcome in Conrad's mind, and His Excellency the Governor has good intentions in order to get his sister's wishes. But in Sinloth's view, it's not the same thing at all. And the worst part is that His Excellency the Governor, who thinks he understands everything, has no intention of listening to Sinloth's explanation. Either he returns successfully with honor, or he dies in Norman.
If you dare to refuse...... I want to pursue the governor's sister, but I don't want to give anything. This is nothing more than a provocation to the Governor's limits of tolerance. A compromise has been made, and if a young man is still at a loss, His Excellency the Governor must not mind venting his anger.
Xinluos was bitter in his heart.
It is said that Conrad has a good temper, but that is also limited to the governor. And even if the temper is good-tempered, the sister controls. When you encounter something about your sister, your head will definitely become unconscious. The current situation is very depressing, if the boneless can be solved so easily, they will not become the great enemy of the empire. And if he doesn't, then no one knows what Conrad will do. Even if they had asked Basil and Louis XIV for help, they would probably not have received a response.
After all, this can be said to be something he caused himself.
Sinloth instantly felt so stressed. He didn't know if Shanaiduo knew about it, and he didn't know how to mention it to Shanaiduo. After listening carefully to Luy's retelling, Sinloth was completely in a state of confusion. Even what Lui said later, Sinloth didn't pay any attention to it.
The bewildered Count left Louie's study and entered the outer hall.
Ellie and Christina were talking to a strange little girl with red eyes and who looked like she had cried. However, the Count, who was not in a very good mood, paid no attention to this, and motioned for the two little ones to follow.
"It's been a long wait, Ellie, let's go home."
Ellie bit her fingers, glanced at her father timidly, and hesitated for a long time. The girl took two gold coins out of her pocket, handed them to Dungal, and obediently went to her father's side.
"Dungal, eat obediently. Ellie is going home first, I'll come back to you tomorrow......"
Dungar wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled reluctantly at Ellie, "Well, goodbye Ellie!" ”
Sinloth glanced back at Dungar suspiciously, but didn't think much of it. Is it Ellie's new friend? The little guy is amazing.
……
After returning to Madame Butterfly's estate, all three of them seemed a little preoccupied. The physical trauma coupled with the troubles in his heart made Xinlos not have much energy to take care of his daughter's mood. After a hasty dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.
"What to do ......"
"What to do ......"
It was a difficult night, and Cynroth couldn't sleep. As Sinloth lamented, a lewd figure in a green robe secretly opened the window. The woman sat on the eaves of the window, looking up at the moonlight, and let out the same lament as Sinlos.
The watery moonlight poured down on the witch's body, making her silhouette hazy. And in this illusory dream-like world, the witch's different-colored eyes are extraordinarily bright. Xinluo watched her silently, and his heart, which was originally a little irritable, was so quiet.
"What to do ......"
Xanalott changed positions again. The witch lay on the eaves of the window, and the heavy robe could not completely cover the witch's bumpy figure. The troubled witch herself may not have noticed it, but in the eyes of Xinloth, Xanalot's movements were unconsciously made. But it's always full of some kind of wonderful charm. After all, she is a witch who has lived for more than a thousand years, even if she is not usually visible, but the years have always left deep traces on her. The elegance accumulated by time is not something that can be easily surpassed by those younger generations.
As long as she doesn't speak.
"What to do ......"
Xanalot, who had just been lying down, suddenly sat up again, and the witch pulled out a small flask out of nowhere. Begin to pour yourself a drink. Sinloth looked at her drinking alone under the moon and was silent.
"Hey, what are you doing...... Are you a man or not, seeing a charming beauty sighing here, you didn't even ask a word! ”
"I'm looking at you."
Xanalot's disguised anger froze on her face, she didn't expect Xinloth to say such words, and the witch was stunned for a moment.
Anyway, it's not the first time I've been pitted by my own broken mouth, Xinluoth's expression is quite natural, but Xanalot is completely different. The witch's smooth face showed a rare hint of crimson, making her look even more coquettish. The witch lifted the flask and poured another sip into herself. Use this to hide your embarrassment.
"Hmph, that's how Mariana was tricked by you." The count's face was indifferent, and there was not the slightest emotion leaking out of his black eyes. Xanalot couldn't figure out what he really thought for a moment. The witch scratched her head, but decided not to mention it.
"Sinloth, actually. Well, I'd like to buy you a batch of weapons......"
"Okay." Xanalot looked serious, although she didn't understand what she wanted a weapon for, Sinloth was just as serious, "Then according to the market price, a standard longsword is five imperial gold coins." A heavy weapon seven. If the quantity is large, I can also give you a ninety-fifty discount. ”
For the average person, five Imperial Gold Coins is definitely not a small amount. However, Desmond's weapons are definitely worth the price, due to the depletion of manpower in the territory. The production of weapons has been at a relatively slow level. In view of this situation, Sinlos also decisively abandoned low-end weapons, and instead let the group of amateur blacksmiths practice their blacksmithing skills at any cost - the quality and efficiency of small blast furnace ironmaking far exceeded that of the Empire, but its cost was much lower. What Desmond lacks most is the population, and in the spirit of the supremacy of soldiers, Sinlos doesn't care about the consumption of blacksmiths when they practice. As long as the equipment quality is good enough.
In addition to the Governor's personal guards, it is estimated that Desmond Ken spent so much money on the soldiers - after being enchanted, the steel smelted in the small blast furnace was all forged steel at the level of the Empire.
Five gold coins, you can't buy such a good product in the market. Xinluo said that it was based on the market price, but in fact, he still gave Xanalot a big discount. After all, she inherited such a big favor before, and she had to pay it back a little.
"You're going to be at a loss, but, ......"
The thousand-year-old virgin was a little embarrassed, she didn't know that Desmond's weapons were of good quality, but because of this, she was reluctant to speak. With the relationship between the two, if she just asked for a few weapons at random, no one would care, but the amount she wanted to purchase was definitely a lot, and the funds she could use were not enough.
Xanalot is really in a dilemma.
Even if Sinlos agreed to this, Claes, who was in charge of finance, would never agree. This young man, who had long fallen into the eyes of money, dared to blush with Xinluo for tax matters back then, if he knew that Xanalotte had taken such a big advantage from Fanzhuo, maybe this kid would hang himself in front of her door the next day.
Xinluoth's serious eyes made Xanalot's heart even more troubled.
"I don't care, you tell him to do it yourself."
Xanalot whispered to herself, and the witch sprang to the Count's side and picked up the man in the bed.
"Hey, Xanalot, what are you doing!"
"Hug you."
As if in response to Cynloth's teasing just now, Xanalot also gave him a smirk.
Just hug it, as a man, Xinlos doesn't suffer anyway. But she just used a princess hug! How unbearable is this! However, the witch didn't care about Xinluos, who was close to collapse, and in the strange and inexplicable spell sound, a cold flame had already enveloped the two of them.
The next moment, the flames burst out. At this time, there were no two people in the room. (To be continued.) )
