Chapter 388: No Interest
Octavir didn't really care about dog food or anything, in the past, those noble children often brought all kinds of female companions to dangle in front of the eldest princess and even blatantly make out at various parties, if she would be fed a mouthful of dog food every time she saw a couple, then what kind of mind did she have to go to the party? So the girl has long been used to it, at least she thinks so.
However, when she saw Nangong Rong holding Virentina's hand and talking and laughing on the street, Octavier realized that she was not used to it, but simply did not meet the person who would make her feel like she was being fed dog food.
The reasonable girl really had the idea of rushing over and pushing the two of them away from the middle to the left and right, and then pointing at the tip of the boy's nose and questioning loudly, but when she thought of what to ask, she made a difficulty, so that she did not take any action in the end.
After all, in this world of [no abyss], Nangong Rong chose Virentina, and Octavier was only the teenager's superior at most, and the two had no contact at all except for patting their ass, and taking the initiative to curry favor. There is nothing strange about this, at this moment, Octavir does not have much affection for the nation to which Nangong Rong belongs, if the young man wants to make a name for himself in the city of Ridana, he can only hug the thigh of the eldest princess tightly, what kind of chemical reaction will these two people have when they get together It makes me feel a headache just thinking about it.
As the deity, Octavir can tell everyone very responsibly that the other party should force Nangong Rong to forget his origins and do his best to treat himself as a natural nobleman rather than a sudden nouveau riche in order to enter and integrate into the upper class of the empire, because if it were the eldest princess herself, she would choose to do so - even if it was Octavier in Nangong Rong's memory, it was her and no one else.
As for whether the boy is willing to accept it, that's another matter, but for now, it seems that the boy is probably reluctant to give up his honor, status, sister, and future career, otherwise the place where he should appear at this moment is the civilian area in the city of Redana, where he will use the money rewarded by the empire to help his compatriots who have fled here, instead of spending a lot of money with his sister in the commercial street near the palace.
For some reason, Octavir suddenly felt very angry for no reason. But it's not that he saw the boy pulling other girls and then became jealous, he just couldn't get used to seeing him now, and the eldest princess herself couldn't tell why.
Could it be that he was expecting to see the situation where the kid did everything in his power to help his compatriots and even betrayed the empire? Octavier couldn't help but shake his head self-deprecatingly, trying to throw these brain-opening thoughts into the trash, and instead focused on observing Nangong Rong's condition.
Although the boy at this moment can be described as a winner in life, this is not the real world after all, and the abyss has made some modifications to his memory to a certain extent, and he can always find something abnormal - probably.
I have to say that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess unexpectedly has the potential to be a spy, the building she is in is a hotel, there is a big signboard erected on the roof, and the girl is hiding in the shadows under the signboard to observe her target, and she also quietly used wind magic to transmit the voices of Nangong Rong and Vilentina back, it can be said that the other party's every move is completely seen by Octavier, and no small action can be hidden from her.
It's just that Nangong Rong seems to be aware of this, and he starts to look around constantly looking for something.
"What's the matter, I've been absent-minded since just now. Virentina, who noticed the boy's abnormality, couldn't help but lean on the former's arm and asked suspiciously, "Is something wrong?"
"Well, I always feel as if someone is secretly watching, trying to find out the other party, but I don't find anything. Nangong Rong retracted his gaze and turned his head to explain seriously to the girl next to him, he didn't want to be thought by the girl that he was half-hearted about this date, "Strange, is it my delusion?"
Hearing this, Virentina immediately smiled and hugged the young man's arm tighter: "It shouldn't be an illusion, it's just that you will be wrong." You must know that you are now a big celebrity in the imperial capital, and the newspapers are full of photos of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess personally awarding you medals, and whoever sees you on the street can't help but take a few more looks. ”
"You're right. Nangong Rong first scratched his cheek with his index finger and laughed a few times, then shrank back with embarrassment, "Uh, Vilentina, you're getting too close......"
However, Virentina was completely unmoved, and she even took the initiative to put the young man's arm in the middle of her chest: "Now the aristocratic ladies who are staring at you like a wolf staring at fresh meat can line up from the gate of the palace to this street, if I don't get close and hug it, can I still watch you being abducted by them?"
This subtle touch...... Is it the steamed bun that seriously cut corners in the legendary canteen!? Of course, the feeling that popped up in his mind at this moment Nangong Rong chose to rot it in his heart very wisely and decisively, otherwise he would have bet that he would definitely see the anger of a young girl who still needs to work hard for growth and development.
"No, I'm referring to something else. Nangong Rong, who couldn't cry or laugh, and his head was full of black lines, pointed to his arm that was holding and couldn't move at all with the hand that could move, and reminded, "What, touch, touch." ”
The girl immediately tilted her head, blinked her big shining eyes, put on a curious baby's natural expression, and wondered: "Ah, where did you touch it, how can I understand if you don't explain it clearly?"
This girl is definitely deliberate, and she actually hugged her tighter! The boy said that he was really just an honest person, and it was completely Virentina who took the initiative to come over, and he had never ...... benefits like this Think it could have been a little more ferocious!
Octavier, who was watching from afar from the top of the building, couldn't help but grit her teeth at this moment, and couldn't help but take out a rifle and put it on the binoculars and directly explode Villatina's head. This guy is so shameless that he dares to blatantly give benefits on the street, and it is clear that he doesn't take the heresy trial in his eyes, hey!
Well, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has to admit at this time that she is indeed jealous. Look at Nangong Rong's eyes full of tenderness when he looked at Vilentina, and then look at his appearance that he was so excited because of the little benefits that the girl took the initiative to give him that he didn't know where to put it, Octavier can have a good mood before he can call a ghost.
I haven't usually seen Nangong Rong behave like this when he treats himself, he has more time to show off his poker face - of course, this complaint only existed for less than a few seconds before it completely disappeared from the clouds, because Octavir knew very well that it was impossible for her.
Would you give a good face to a guy who did everything possible to oppress and exploit himself and other compatriots and cause a lot of trouble when you tried to stand up and speak? Some people may be able to, but not Nangong Rong.
Octavier's mood was very low, she knew that Nangong Rong had forgiven herself in the real world, but it was only forgiven, if there was no common goal of fighting against the abyss, the relationship between the two might not even be friendly;
Of course, the above eldest princess also understands more or less in her heart, but the young man has been by her side recently, so he didn't care. But now, after seeing the scene of Nangong Rong being hugged tightly by Vilentina in the illusion, Octavier realized that the boy could not be with their group of friends forever after all, and after everyone beat the abyss and pushed down the boss, they naturally went back to their own homes to live their own lives;
It's impossible, it's more reliable to prepare New Year's money for the boy and his cheap sister's child than to have that kind of unrealistic fantasy.
Then, the path in front of Octavir is obvious: after the abyss is wiped out or the girl is withdrawn from the front line, she will return to the noble eldest princess of the Salturin Empire, and then marry someone in order to stabilize the throne of her younger brother Ley, and finally completely forget the bits and pieces that happened when she fought with Nangong Rong and others against the abyss.
Is this really good?
Before the eldest princess could sort out her thoughts, a sudden incident on the street quickly caught her attention. To be precise, it should have attracted the attention of everyone in the vicinity, and everyone stopped and looked towards the place where the incident occurred.
Nangong Rong and Virentina were stopped by a group of people, and Octavir felt that if she remembered correctly, it was the drunk man who leaned out of the window and shouted loudly with a wine glass. This guy may have been dodged with sobering pills or sobriety, but he was not swaying his body crookedly at the moment or slurring his speech, but the drunkenness and alcohol had not completely dissipated, and his consciousness was not very clear.
In short, he is a nasty guy who deliberately makes trouble for others with his alcohol, and he is wearing a lieutenant's uniform.
"What's the matter?"
Octavier didn't know this drunk, but it was obvious that he should have a certain background, so even though Nangong Rong was older than the other party, he clearly didn't want to be unhappy with him, and after being stopped, he just frowned and asked lightly, and he didn't have a seizure on the spot.
"Don't be so stiff, Mr. Captain, I'm just here to ask you about something. The drunk man took the initiative to lean over and hooked the back of Nangong Rong's neck with his arm and said with a hippie smile, "I heard that you Han people will take the initiative to help each other solve each other's troubles, is this true? If it's true, that's great, I just have something I want to trouble you." ”
Although Nangong Rong put on an expression of "I'm not familiar with you", the other party deliberately pretended not to see it, and took the initiative to lean over like a drunken man, but he couldn't push him away, so he could only let this guy hook his neck. Fortunately, this did not affect the young man's brain to start thinking quickly, he naturally knew that the other party was not well-intentioned, but after all, it was a little inappropriate to find trouble with the young man in broad daylight, so he should make some arrangements.
Then, as expected, Nangong Rong saw a young man in the team behind this guy who was treated like a prisoner with his hands restrained by the two people next to him and couldn't move freely at all, at most he was in his early twenties, and he was still wearing a set of hotel waiter overalls.
Like himself, he has yellow skin and black hair.
The boy can roughly guess what is going on, this man either accidentally provoked the drunk man and others and was used by them as an excuse to find trouble for himself, or he was coerced and lured to cooperate with the other party's acting, anyway, as long as it is involved, it will be no good thing.
However, looking at the man's eyes staring at the drunkard and the others, the hatred in his eyes can probably eliminate the possibility of coercion and temptation, and it will only be forced.
Maybe you should ask what is going on? Nangong Rong couldn't help but show a hesitant look on his face, he was about to speak, but he felt a sudden warmth in his palm, but it was Vilentina who held the young man's hand in time and shook her head gently at him.
Then Nangong Rong woke up in an instant, no matter what reason this young man had, he would definitely not change if he committed something to the drunkard and others, if he helped him at this moment, it would inevitably cause some bad effects, which was very unfavorable to him who was about to be granted the status of nobility by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
However, the man clearly did not think too much, and when he saw that the drunkard stopped him was also a black-haired Han man, his eyes immediately lit up with hope, and he hurriedly spoke: "The village where my relatives live was abandoned not long ago because of the advance of the Allied army, so all the family members have come to Redana to join me. It's just that during the time when the city was under siege, all kinds of prices skyrocketed, and the wages I got from working in the hotel were simply not enough to afford everyone......"
"So you started stealing?" The drunkard's tone instantly raised an octave, almost deafening Nangong Rong's ears, who were caught off guard, "This is really a good excuse, for the sake of the hungry and frozen family, whether it is stealing or robbing, you can be forgiven, right? There is no such cheap thing in the world, and you dare to steal from the officer's head, you have to peel off your skin today!" Of course, if Mr. Captain had apologized and interceded for you for the sake of compatriotism, and had paid a small amount of compensation, I would have been magnanimous as if it had not happened. ”
Nangong Rong couldn't help but pouted speechlessly when he heard this, this bamboo pole really hit his head in the end. However, after being reminded by Virentina, the boy naturally did not intend to cause some unnecessary trouble, after all, he had other more important things to protect than the thankless task of protecting strangers called compatriots.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in this, but if you want to take this thief to the police, you can just go there. ”
