The torrential rain raged in the city, the rain pillars flew all over the sky, accompanied by the howling wind, the trees swayed in the wind, and the branches of the trees whipped in the air like a wild whip, pouring down, weaving the space into a continuous rain net. Suddenly, a flash of lightning swept through the hazy sky, bringing a thunderclap, and in this bad weather, the city's drainage system was overwhelmed, and the streets were covered with ankle-high water, and pedestrians had already returned to their homes to escape the torrential rain.

The bad weather destroyed the city's electrical system, and the backup generators failed, and the Grand Duke's House of the Federal Heavy Industries Regiment had to light smokeless candles for illumination, as did the candles on the table, illuminating the bloody snowflake steaks on the plates, and the bright wine glowing in the reflection.

The sound of the knife rubbing against the plate dispersed faintly with the candlelight, and the master of the Grand Duke's mansion, Rohr, sat in the main seat, the sharp knife cutting along the lines of the steak, and the half-cooked blood slowly oozing out with the gravy, staining the silver fork red.

The host and guest seat opposite the Rohr Justice, Novena, who was dressed in a neat military uniform, sat there, with a plate of fully cooked steak in front of her, knives and forks neatly placed aside, the half-filled wine did not leave its original position, everything did not move, she looked at the eating Rohr, and said silently: "Grand Duke Rohr likes to eat raw steak?" ”

Rolle cut open a piece of bloody steak and put it in his mouth to refuse, his cold eyes reflected the strange candlelight, and said in a deep voice: "I've been practicing the feel of cutting raw meat, because I'll use it one day." ”

Novena looked into the eyes of Grand Duke Rohr, her expression sank little by little, and she said faintly, "The person who attacked me and Miyin Pear Sako that day was sent by you, right?" ”

"It's me." The Grand Duke of Rohr did not shy away from it at all, and still silently cut the bloody steak, put it in his mouth, and said as he chewed, "You should be glad that you are the daughter of the commander-in-chief, otherwise there will be two corpses that day." ”

"I haven't told my father about this yet." With a glint in her eyes, Novena said meaningfully, "I'll talk about the conditions, and based on your answers, I'll decide whether or not to let him know about it." ”

"Hahaha..."Grand Duke Rohr took the napkin next to him and wiped his mouth, leaving a slight scarlet blood mark on it, and a bloody light appeared in those sharp eyes, "You take yourself too seriously, Novena, you think the entire Federation is in your father's hands, do you?" Maybe you don't understand the true meaning of the title Grand Duke, don't understand what political autonomy is, don't understand what an independent army is, and don't know that a quarter of the military spending of the entire federation comes from our family. ”

Novena's eyes wandered, her body leaned forward slightly, squinted and said, "Spare Miyin, I promise you will get more, your family will leave the other two Grand Dukes behind." ”

"Novena, you're too childish. Perhaps, in your eyes, the so-called politics is the exchange of interests. In this age when even five-year-olds know what egoism is, you have forgotten one thing, and that is blood. Grand Duke Rohr cut the rest of the steak in half, like executing a condemned prisoner, and the splatters of blood stained the cloth on his chest, "Our family never exchange benefits, we demand, we plunder, the whole family is connected by the bond of iron and blood, I will be punished, and I will be killed." What you negotiated at the dinner table, we took from us by stepping on the corpse. ”

"When a family member is violated, we have only one rule, and that is to pay the blood debt, and Miyin Risako must die. If you try to protect her in your father's name, I can tell you that I don't care, because your father is a loser. "There seemed to be a thousand knives in the eyes of the Grand Duke of Rohr, and the bloody tone came to him, "He thought that his steel torrent could conquer the world, but he ignored the genetic power remaining in the human body, in this federation that advocates heavy industry, only our family attaches so much importance to evolutionaries, they are my sword, my shield, and my eyes." ”

Grand Duke Rohr's gaze moved down slightly: "For example, now, your left hand is hidden under the table, and you are holding a gun aimed at me, and my servant can see it clearly. ”

Archduke Rorle's words caused waves in Novena's heart, and she subconsciously pulled the trigger, but in this negligible moment, when the firing pin detonated the gunpowder, the scorching bullet just poked its head out of the chamber, and the swift blade quietly struck from the side, cutting it in half along the bullet's axis, and cutting it along with the gun in Novena's hand.

Novena felt a light hand and the gun was shattered, and she quickly reached into her arms with her other hand to get another gun, but with the blade attacking, there was a "ding" sound, and her palm was pierced through and nailed to the table.

"Ahh

Beside Novena, a tall woman appeared at some point, one of her hands was transformed into a nano blade, bloody through Novena's palm and nailed it to the table, this woman leaned down and looked at Novena in pain, the blade hand turned slightly, tearing Novena's wound, making her let out a cry of pain.

"Eva." Grand Duke Rohr ate the steak lightly, and with a casual call, the tall woman pulled out her blade hand and stepped aside.

Novena clutched her pierced palm with a pale face, blood spilling all over the ground, and her whole body was gasping and trembling in pain.

Archduke Rohr finished eating the steak on his plate, and drank the wine next to him, looking calm, as if discussing a common meal: "Three pieces of advice, Brigadier General Novena." First, bandage quickly, otherwise you won't be able to hold the gun in this hand in the future. Second, take advantage of my mood and leave my sight immediately. Third, spend money to find a skilled undertaker who is ready to collect the body of Miyin Risako. ”

Novena gritted her teeth, reached for the napkin on the table, wrapped it in her hand, and walked out of the dining room quickly.

After leaving the Grand Duke's Mansion, Novena staggered into a hospital and treated the wound on her hand, and the surgeon recognized Novena's rank of brigadier general and wanted to secretly report the information to the Rim Naval Theater Command, but was stopped by Novena smashing the phone.

After the bandage, Novena walked out of the hospital and stood in the rain, her whole body drenched in the rain, and her eyes became heavier and heavier under the dark night, as if she had melted into the darkness.

After a long time, when the rain gathered in a stream on Novena's face, she took out her communicator, dialed a secret channel, and said quietly, "Help me..."
