"I have inquired in detail about Miss Shelley. ”

"How's it going?" Irene listened to Abby Robles' debriefing, smiling as she greeted the other nobles from afar with her glass in her glass, while paying attention to Gray and Shelley's movements in the middle of the dance floor in the distance.

"Miss Shelley is not engaged for the time being, and has no lovers. However, she heard that the heirs of several families in the city were her suitors. It is not surprising that she is the beloved granddaughter of Count Glogru. Marrying her is tantamount to making an unbreakable alliance with the Grugru family. For the average nobleman, this couldn't be better. However, Count Gruglu does not seem to be in a hurry to marry this granddaughter. And...... Her own behavior is indeed somewhat inappropriate. ”

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"Not really. However, there is evidence that she is deliberately stirring up conflicts between several families. ”

"To stir up conflicts, for what purpose?"

"Maybe it'...... Hobby. Abby Robles staggered, "She doesn't benefit from it, but she seems to enjoy the feeling of having other people conflicted because of her." ”

"Oh, yes, I wouldn't mind if Gray married her, but she wouldn't want Gray to be one of her many suitors, would she?"

In times of peace, there are very few nobles like Irene whose family has a huge crisis. And like Gray, who can get the title on his own, he can't turn over the second one in the entire White City.

For the vast majority of nobles, their lives are actually about two things - marriage and having children.

If there are heirs, there will be heirs, otherwise no matter how big the family is, it will be in vain. Not to mention marriage, which was the only way for the nobles to climb up. Even every aristocratic home will have a dense atlas of various blood relationships. They worked hard to expand their family by constantly marrying, inheriting, marrying, inheriting, day after day, year after year. At the same time, the entire nation's network of kinship is woven into a mess.

In a way, marriage is the second power after the army in its hands. Naturally, there are many people who make a fuss about it. Shelley is just one of them.

At the end of another song, Irene watched from afar as Shelley took Gray's hand off the dance floor.

"Keep an eye on them. ”

"Miss Irene thinks Gray will be snatched away by Shelley?"

"It's not that I think, it's that he may have been hooked away. ”

Yes, although he couldn't see Gray's expression, Gray's eyes never left Shelley from the beginning. At the same time, Shelley's eyes were glowing as he looked at Gray. It couldn't be worse.

This Gray is completely like a husky who is released to have fun, and something may happen if he doesn't watch it for five minutes. If he ran out and never came back, Ireen wouldn't be surprised at all. After all, his appearance was no less sudden.

Of course, it would be desperate to happen in the current situation.

Could it be that Count Grugrew wants to take his most important chips in this way?

glanced at Count Grugru from a distance, and found that Count Grugrew was also entangled. It really doesn't seem to be his strategy.

However, Irene was apprehensive after all.

......

After opening the knight line and the biblical line, Gray successfully opened the love line.

Is this considered love?

Doesn't count?

Count?

Doesn't count?

Well, I'm not clear either. You have to understand that the Lich is something that doesn't exist in the Bible, it's really hard to define.

Anyway, Gray thinks so, so let it be that he is.

Gray's plan goes something like this: "First, become a knight. Then, it is necessary to get the praise of the church and get the approval of the church. Like the protagonist in "The Knight's Guide to Becoming a Talent", open a family, slay evil dragons, save princesses, stumble on a walk, turn around and find that it is a treasure, and then distribute it to the poor...... Do you think anyone would suspect that I'm a lich? Of course, love is indispensable in such a perfect story. Otherwise, there will be flaws. So, you have to fall in love!"

Well, the plan was quite successful, and I have to say that he was a very motivated knight. Except for being a lich, it's flawless.

"Start the family...... Do you want to give birth to a litter of little lichs?" the black cat whispered to Gray.

"Hmm...... It seems that no lich has ever been born. ”

"Yes. It's great that you understand that. ”

"But just because no lich has ever been born doesn't mean you can't be born! no lich has ever been a knight, so shouldn't I be too?" said Gray, swearing.

The black cat looked dazed, and he suddenly had an idea: "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"

In any case, what the lich decides is obviously not something that the ghost can change. So, Gray began to make bold strides towards a new goal.

"I think I might need a ring urgently. ”

"What?"

"Don't you have to have a ring for a marriage proposal? ”

"Wait, you're ready to propose now?"

"Otherwise, when should I propose?"

The black cat felt that he was almost blind: "Listen, love is not that simple. First of all, it is necessary to recognize. ”

"We've got to know each other. ”

"Don't get to the point! First of all, we must get to know each other, and then we must cultivate feelings. ”

"How to cultivate?"

"Chat. ”

"We've been talking. ”

"I know, but it's not enough, cultivate the relationship, cultivate it to the right time, and at that time, she will agree to be your lover. ”

"Become lovers?"

"Yes. ”

"And then you can propose?"

"Uh...... Right. ”

"So, when exactly is the right time?"

"How do I know that! Anyway, it's definitely not right now! By feeling, if it feels right, it's right!"

Gray silently raised his head and thought about it, and suddenly felt that the human species was too difficult. First of all, they have to judge the big and the small without a standard, and now they have to judge whether it is suitable or not without a standard?

Just thinking about it, Gray felt like his brain was going to get stuck.

So, in the spirit of the lich "try it if you don't understand, if you fail anyway, it's a big deal to explode" and "the undead are fearless and won't die anyway", he turned his face sideways, looked at Shelley and said, "Miss Shelley, would you like to be my lover?"

With a "bang", Shelley's wine glass fell off and shattered all over the ground. She looked at Gray in a daze, her face flushing.

Everyone's eyes converged on this direction.

The black cat's eyes have fallen. Why can you talk about love like this?

Shelley hurriedly took Gray's hand and walked into the yard. In the distance, Ireen and Count Grugru both craned their necks, and several of their attendants hurriedly followed quietly.

"Isn't this going a little too soon, man, Lord Baron? ”

"Soon?"

"It's a bit fast. ”

"Can't it be so fast?"

"It's not impossible. It's just a little ...... It's just too fast. And I haven't even seen your face. Shelley's eyes flickered, her lips pursed, and she fiddled with her fingers. This is the girl's tangle.

"Look, that's not the time. You get it, you have to develop your feelings slowly. The black cat breathed a sigh of relief in the armor. It's not easy, but once he got his prediction right. Just like the last time he was promoted to knight, if he let this lich get his hands on it easily, he would be even more free in the future. That's the end of it.

Just as the black cat was about to brew some wording to educate Gray, Shelley suddenly raised his head, blushed and said, "Okay, I promise you!"

After speaking, he stretched out a hand and looked at Gray with a pair of eyes open and a determined face.

The black cat's eyes that had just been stuffed back fell out again, and he almost choked on his saliva.

"So I can propose now?" asked Gray again.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything......" The black cat was already petrified and began to doubt life. Was his previous life just an illusion, and why had all the teachings he had known failed to apply to the lich?

It stands to reason that Gray should kiss the back of Shelley's hand at this time, but Gray didn't. Yes, he didn't. You can't ask a lich to know human etiquette, can you?

So, the two people standing in the courtyard got stuck. The next step could not be started.

After a short silence, Gray hesitated, thinking that he had promised so quickly, so Shelley mustered up the courage to add: "Although it is really fast, life is short, what does it matter if it is faster?"

"Do you really think so?" asked Gray solemnly.

"Of course!" Shelley's face was resolute: "I have thought it through, although I have never seen your face under the mask, but it doesn't matter! I love your soul, it is your majestic posture! It is your courage to defeat all knights! Love should not be superficial!"

The words were loud and clear. For a moment, the black cat almost thought that it was another Gray standing in front of him.

This world is crazy enough, and the lich has an object.

However, it was Gray who was the craziest after all, and he said seriously, "So, can I propose to you now?"

In an instant, the atmosphere froze.

The original eagerness in Shelley's eyes gradually turned into hesitation, into horror. Their mouths are wide open.

It's too much fun, isn't it?

"Will it ...... A little too fast?" she said cautiously. It's completely gone.

"Didn't you say life is short, it's okay to be quick?" Gray continued earnestly.

"That's what I said, but, but, but, but ......"

"Hmph. The black cat sneered in the armor: "How about it, let you indulge him, now you realize it?"

Gray was still waiting for an answer, and both sides couldn't hold on.

As the minutes passed, Shelley felt out of breath, and held back for a long time, but she couldn't say the next words of "but", and finally she could only bow her head and say, "I'm sorry!

After saying that, he turned around and hurried away with his skirt. Gray was left alone.

Irene and Count Gruglu's entourage, who were hiding in the grass in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can scare the girls who come to tease you away in this way, really, Gray, you're the only one I've ever seen. ”

"Sscared away?"

"Or else?"

"Then I'll have a plan to give birth to a lot of little lichs......" Gray's hand trembled slightly.

"Thank goodness it's gone. The black cat gloated, "Really, I think all of humanity should be grateful to her, she saved the whole world." I can't imagine a big lich and a bunch of young lichs worshipping in a church. It's so touching, I'm afraid the pastor will have a heart attack. ”

The night breeze blew softly past him, swaying the flowers and trees, tearing apart a lich's dreams.

Lich love comes and goes as fast as it comes.
