Loy's beauty impressed Soss, and he was not at all aggrieved in pursuing her, but as soon as he came into contact with Soss, he found that this girl was not a vase, she was completely the same kind of person as himself: she was born extremely high but not satisfied, advocated perfection and pursued excellence, arrogant in her heart but not arrogant, orderly but not pedantic and boring, had a lot of ideas and new ideas in her head and couldn't wait to try them one by one, full of energy and vitality every day.

Soth had thought that he was the best young talent in the world: he was born better than him, no one in the world was worthy of him, until he saw the girl in front of him, Roy had all the virtues of which he was proud, and was even a talented female mage. It was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, and nimble man of the opposite sex he had ever seen, and compared to her, the princesses and noble ladies he had seen in more than twenty years were as stupid and humble as pigs and ants.

＊＊＊

It stands to reason that a young man and a woman like them would be attracted to each other when they meet each other, and it is also true that such a perfect opposite sex was once his dream mate, but it is not what he needs at the moment. What he lacks now is not a princess, but a boost that can help him restore his country. In this case, all the virtues of Roy became precisely the qualities he hated: such a good and proud girl, who might have been united with him out of admiration, could never be completely conquered by herself from the bottom of her heart, let alone manipulated and influenced by him like a puppet - she was even willing to spend only an hour a day with her.

There was no contempt, but he felt uncomfortable.

"Every moment should be used to make yourself better" is also Prince Soth's own motto, and he never wants to spend too much time with any girl...... But it's one thing to think so, it's another to be treated like that. How could he ever feel the feeling of not being given the first priority? Which of the other girls he had dated didn't want to be with him all day long?

But the other party is qualified to be arrogant and contemptuous of him, gritting his teeth and enduring this discomfort, slowly trapping her, using her to influence the family behind her, approaching the commander of the imperial army, and using the huge energy of the Foster family to find out the hope and possibility of recovering the country, is what he needs to do at the moment.

It was too early to think about this, and he did become the first leader to successfully date Roy, which was already a stunning feat in the eyes of others, and in his eyes it was only the first step. He didn't dare to tense his nerves and do his best: this was the daughter of Duke Foster, and in her eyes as arrogant as she was, the title of prince and the identity of a proton were just two inconsequential background illustrations - even if she became emperor or sat on the wealth of the world, she would not have the slightest urge to throw herself into her arms, and even if she was suddenly reduced to a commoner with nothing, she would not be despised and denied.

In order to win her favor, the suitor must completely rely on his own excellence and ability, and external objects and background forces can only add to the icing on the cake at most, and the help they can provide is extremely limited.

(What if this girl was also as frivolous and superficial as other aristocratic girls and easy to be swayed?)

He sighed and mocked his naïve thoughts, if it was really as he wished, with Roy's appearance he would have been chased by an unknown number of men, maybe they were all married women with big bellies, how could it be his turn.

＊＊＊

"Why are you sighing?" Roy didn't expect the young man next to him to have a ghost in his heart, and thought that something was wrong, frowned slightly, turned his head and asked suspiciously.

The girl's voice brought Soth back to his senses, and he suddenly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and it was a serious mistake to be distracted when he was with her!

"It's nothing, I received a letter from home today, my father is seriously ill in bed, and I submit an application to His Majesty to beg to come home and visit. He remained silent, not deliberately hiding the fact that he had just wandered, but spoke with a little sadness, "But you know, I'm here to be a hostage, although I don't have any objections, but the key is what the spies who supervise me and His Majesty the Emperor think." ”

"Uncle is sick?" Soth's melancholy expression was unexpectedly attractive, and Roy's heart softened, and his tender tone was the same as when he stared at his brother: "Is it serious, you should go back to visit no matter what, don't worry, I will find a way for you." ”

She genuinely liked the young man in front of her, and although he was not perfect, he was already the best person of the opposite sex she had ever met. He is not a few years older than himself, but he has a series of qualities that young people usually do not have, such as composure and stability. She couldn't help but think about what a perfect man her brother would be if he could be like Soth, with the strength of his parents as a background.

"Thank you, Roy. Soth breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't want to leave you, but I respect my father......

"No explanation, I understand. Roy gently grabbed his hand and expressed comfort in body language. The man's heart jumped, a mistake actually brought unexpected surprises, this was the first conscious physical contact between him and Roy, and according to this trend, he could soon naturally hug and kiss her.

He didn't get carried away, but naturally tightened his fingers to hold the other party: "Don't talk about these heavy topics, is there any new progress in your experiment with Master Finn today?"

"Well, we have successfully confirmed the number of palms and knuckles required for the casting gesture and their position with each other, and decomposed them from gestures into a framework, preliminarily confirming the existence of the stereo script. If the experiment goes well, spellcasting gestures will soon become a new discipline, and the practical use of stereo magic will also bring considerable improvements to the functional diversity and performance of magical creations. ”

......

If someone approached and heard the conversation between the two, they would definitely think that they were having a simple academic discussion, but Soth knew that Roy's willingness to talk to him about this was already a manifestation of intimacy, and listening carefully and pretending not to understand in some key places from time to time to ask some questions would maximize the effect of the little time that the two could spend together every day, no less effective than the usual romance, or even more so.

(To deal with such an unusual girl, you have to use abnormal means.) The romance in the eyes of ordinary girls will only look childish in her eyes. ）

Soth knew he still had some advantage in a non-hostile encounter. Roy is too young, no matter how smart and clever she is, but the lack of experience and the number of people she has met still makes her city government a little shallow, she already has some experience, and it is easy to find a way to quickly increase her favorability, and what about her...... Even if you instinctively perceive that you are deliberately pleasing yourself, you may unconsciously ignore it under the influence of favor.

There was a wonderful touch of electricity at the point where the finger touched Roy's slender hand, and Soth could hardly concentrate, and the two held hands and chatted as they walked, and in the blink of an eye, they had already walked around and returned to the door of Foster's house, and it was time to say goodbye: "Then I'll go home, please." ”

"Don't worry, you'll be back soon. My brother may pass by you on his trip to the north, and if I have the chance, I may visit him later, and then visit you and my uncle. ”

(Why don't you come to see me first, and then take a look at your brother by the way?) Soth nodded, but once again felt a little uncomfortable in her heart - her unintentional words revealed that she valued the other person more than he did. He took a deep breath and reminded himself not to get into the horns, and it was only natural that the other party would pay more attention to his family: "Oh, your brother is traveling to the north? ”

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he quickly kept it in his mind out of instinct. Although he doesn't pay much attention to Roy's idle brother, the only male descendant of the Foster family is an important role, even if it is a pig, so it may be of some use to send someone to pay attention to his whereabouts a little: "Well, give me a letter when you are free, and I will invite you...... And your brother has come to my castle as a guest, and Narig is not only a loyal vassal of the Empire, but also a sight and food. ”

"That's it. Roy smiled happily at Soth, let go of his hand and said goodbye to him, "See you tomorrow, then." ”

"See you tomorrow. ”
