How so...... Maria and I are also old husbands and wives. As the saying goes, there is a fight at the head of the bed and the end of the bed, and there is no overnight feud between husband and wife. What's not to say? She didn't like me because of the fireworks and the Kulishino thing, so I licked my face and scolded her, and it wouldn't be a piece of meat.

When the time comes, her anger will disappear, and she has been with me for so long, what can she really do to me? When the time comes, I will take advantage of the situation to push her down and snap it, warm it up, and then the big thing can be expected.

Uh-huh, that's it. It's really good, it couldn't be better. How can I be so witty?!

I thought the whole thing through when I went to Maria's room. That's how to deal with Maria, and it can be done.

Thinking of this, my mood became cheerful again. Be in a good mood and be in a good mood. After that, it will definitely be an exciting thing to have a long-lost sex with Maria. I couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Mar......" was on Maria's balcony, and I was about to go in, when I heard a strange sound coming from her room, very small, but my ears were good, and I could hear it very clearly:

"Wright. Baldwin. This man is still useful to us. So you have to keep lurking around him. Gotta - you know what I mean? This is the organization's test for you, Maria. You can't go against it because of your personal will, take orders! ”

"I have a different opinion, Comrade Commissar." Maria said: "Wright. Baldwin was really useful to us. But his personal worth is nothing compared to the whole of France. My plan was to denounce his espionage activities to France, as well as the military intentions of the Norman Empire. In order to gain the trust of the French and allow them to drag on the war with the Normans longer. In this case, in order to gain an advantage in the war, they will take greater support for us. ”

“…… Well. ”

The man's voice hesitated: "Perhaps, there is some truth in what you say, but the question is, how can we gain the trust of the French?" You know, because of our faith, the French are also very jealous of us, and we have been in contact with them a few times. But the effect is not very good. ”

"What would happen if it was the fiancée of a Norman Army star?" Maria asked, "I've been in contact with Kulishnu, and she's a fool with a mind full of the traditional aristocratic order. We can take advantage of that guy. ”

"Go ahead and give it a try. But don't put all your bets on it, Maria. If you feel that something is wrong, give up on him decisively. Because we can't find a second one like Wright. Baldwin is such a foolish Norman Army leader. ”

"Yes, Comrade Commissar."

After that, there was a "click" in the room. The sound was all too familiar to me, the sound of a Norman-style steam communicator closing in. Other words......

I took a deep breath, then pushed open the glass door of the balcony and walked into Maria's room.

"I think we have some things to talk about."

As I said this, I sat down on the edge of Maria's bed and watched her look at me with a look of surprise.

"Was it a member of the Russian partisans who communicated with you just now?" I asked. Then he watched without fear as Maria raised her revolver and aimed it at my forehead.

"Did you hear it all?" Maria asked a nonsense question.

"Yes, I heard them all." I nodded: "Betray me, betray the Empire, use Kulishnu or something." I heard it all. I nodded, then reached out and said, "I—"

"--Put your hands there and don't move!" Maria interrupted me and shouted at me, "Otherwise, I'll shoot!" ”

"Relax, relax." I withdrew my arm and said to Maria, "You see, if I wanted to reveal your secret, I wouldn't come in and talk to you, would I?" And if you really had a plan to kill me, you must have pulled the trigger, didn't you? So we're all at the point of 'security' right now. Let's talk about it. ”

"I don't have much more to say to you, Wright. Baldwin. Maria said to me with a sneer.

"Then think about what you're going to do after you kill me. At this stage, I speak, you can completely ignore it. What do you think? I continued.

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Maria hesitated.

"Tricks? I've always said something to you. I said, "Before that, it didn't count when you were a swallow and I was a crow." But after this, what lie did I tell you? ”

"......" Maria did not speak again, so I continued:

"So, I thought our relationship was stronger than it actually was, I came to you today to apologize to you, and I was even ready to be scolded or beaten by you. However, the words of the revolver...... Well, if you really hate me that much, it's not impossible to kill me. ”

"I don't hate you." Maria sneered: "Don't be sentimental, everything is just a drama, you want to lie to me, I want to lie to you." In the end, you think you've deceived me, but you've actually been fooled by me. That's it. It's all work, and I'm not investing a bit of affection in you. ”

"Well, let's take it as if I was self-inflicted." I didn't argue anything, and I didn't shout at her in a very unproductive way: "It's not true! Something like that. Instead, he nodded very simply:

"Just think it's me who fools you, Maria."

"So, do you have anything else to say now?" Maria then asked.

"Of course." I nodded: "I'm very sorry that I didn't take your feelings into account in the matter of Hanabi and Kulishinu...... No, in fact, since I came to Paris, I have done very few things that have taken into account your feelings, even in the case of Rennie, and I want you to apologize. ”

"Why do you say that? Didn't I say—"

"—let me continue to be deceived. My life is in your hands, let me be a happy fool before I die. And this only mercy you have, will you not give it to me? I interrupted her and said this to her.
