Evelyn had said goodbye when she first entered Oak Town, and now she was once again at Stannis's bedside like a grim reaper.

"How are you so elusive......"

Before he could finish asking, there was a sound of footsteps going upstairs from outside the door, and then Amina's inquiring voice rang out.

"What's the matter, Stan, how do I hear screaming from your room?

Stannis glanced at Evelyn in front of him and casually lied, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare! I dreamed of a cold-blooded woman who wanted to kill me!"

He said that he had deliberately said that Evelyn had heard, but the other party didn't mind. And Ah Ming outside the door also seemed to believe it, "Oh, then you have a good rest, call me if there is anything, I will be downstairs." ”

After saying that, another series of footsteps sounded, indicating that the owner had gone downstairs.

Now Stannis can finally interrogate her why she keeps not letting herself go.

"Eldest sister, if you do this again, I will be scared to death by you, but I will ask you for the funeral expenses. Robert said as he slipped his clothes on.

Evelyn circled around the bed, her steps as light as a civet cat, not even making a sound.

Seeing the other party walking the catwalk in his room, Stannis was of course very unhappy, he lowered his voice and complained: "I said that you are talking, always like this, I am really tired of communicating with you!"

But the other party still didn't mean to speak, she just put her index finger on her non-powdered lips to signal him not to make a sound.

"Listen, don't you think it's quiet here?"

Hearing her say this, the originally restless Stannis did find that something was wrong, it was too quiet outside the window, and there was silence between heaven and earth, as if he was in the middle of endless space, and even if he was close to his ears, he could not hear a sound.

"How can this town be so quiet at night? Stannis said incredulously.

Evelyn gave him an approving look, "You can also hear the strangeness of this town, and that's why I'm here to investigate." ”

While the nights are a bit too quiet, perhaps the people here go to bed early, and Stannis can't imagine any dark secrets hidden beneath this simple town that could alarm the Emperor, so he sent a crow to investigate.

"Don't you have nothing to do all day long, and I declare in advance, I'm just here to find someone, don't drag me into the water again!" Stannis finished and prepared to close his eyes and sleep.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he found that his whole body was suspended in the air, but it was not because of some strange spell, he was simply picked up by Evelyn with one hand.

Remembering that she weighed 180 pounds, and that the petite girl lifted herself up like a chicken, Stannis had to wonder if she was a weird woman.

"Hey, what's the good thing to say don't do it!" Stannis threatened, even though he knew that he was not Evelyn's enemy without a sword.

The girl raised her head, looked at Stannis, and then said word by word, "Listen, Stennis, I don't ask you to cooperate with me this time, but I must, because of my special status, so I can't appear in the town rashly, and you who have been disguised as a traveler can move around smoothly, so from now on you have to bring back to me all the news you have found during the day." ”

"But I'm just here to find someone, and I really don't want to get into this kind of. Stannis said with difficulty in mid-air, his neck feeling pinched tighter.

"Am I not clear enough, this is the will of the Emperor, and you must cooperate whether you want it or not!"

But Stannis could only verbally agree for the time being, "Okay, no problem, it's a great honor to serve the Emperor!

Evelyn finally let go of her hand, and the man collapsed on the bed, gulping in for air.

"Remember, your priority now is to find the secret hidden in Oaktown, and everything else must be stopped!"

As soon as Stannis heard it, he understood that this was to make him give up going to Anya and serve her wholeheartedly, of course he was very unhappy, but just now he promised to help her, and it was not good to regret it immediately.

"Also, I felt like I was being watched when I first entered the town this afternoon, so I decided to hide here for the time being, and remember not to let the man named Amin in, otherwise the blood here will be difficult to wipe off. ”

When Stannis heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "How can this be done, how can a lonely man and a widow live in the same room! Besides, there is only a single bed in total, where do you sleep if I sleep?" but I have no problem sleeping on me. ”

Evelyn didn't give him a good look, and made a direct decision, "I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the ground." ”

"Damn, that's too much!" Stannis said this, but he could only hold the quilt and lay on the floor.

Evelyn stared at Stannis, who was curled up on the ground like a lobster, as if she was not satisfied, and she continued to order, "Turn around and face the wall. ”

"What are you doing, won't you let me sleep!"

"How can I sleep without taking off my clothes?"

“...... Oh. ”

Eventually, Evelyn finally removed the hard, close-fitting black leather from her body, and then she lay naked on the mattress that Stannis had just covered up, all the while facing the wall as she commanded.

The two remained strangely silent, Evelyn was determined not to sleep tonight and remained motionless, while Stannis tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

After a while, a strange sound came from the bed, and Stannis listened to for a moment, recognizing it as an empty sound that only comes from hunger.

That is, Evelyn in bed was hungry.

The gentleman Stennis who would never let the girls suffer crawled in from the floor, and then took out a treasured little pumpkin from under his clothes, which he had secretly pried away at dinner, to be used as a supper, handed it to Evelyn, and said in a tone of pretended anger: "Really, how can you make people sleep with such a loud belly!

If it had been before, Evelyn would have decisively knocked the pumpkin in his hand to the ground, and she would not accept this man's handouts even if she died, but this time, she smelled a different breath from this familiar body.

She took the pumpkin and took a gentle bite.

Perhaps, Stannis is really dead, and the man in front of him is a new beginning - to become the perfect pawn in his own revenge.
