Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Countdown to Life (Part II)
Delphi looked at the city from the window, and the busy citizens were like ants, constantly mending the scars of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Last night's sudden attack caused very many casualties among the citizens, and many people were killed in their homes before they could react, but fortunately it was not the middle of the night, otherwise the casualties would have been even worse.
This attack dealt a serious blow to both the Duke's Palace and the two churches, both in terms of strength and prestige.
Now all three parties have used their own strength to investigate this matter, hoping to recover a little bit of damage.
Looking at the scenery, Delphi did not have idle, constantly activating her mind, trying to figure out the cause and effect of this event, but she could not imagine anything out of thin air due to lack of intelligence.
This matter is inseparable from the god of domination and enslavement, Isleiwei, which is the consensus of the whole city. However, when I think about it, the other side has now extended its forces to the rear, and everyone is very afraid, afraid that the defenseless rear will become the "source of troops" for the other side.
The faint smell of blood suddenly reached his nose, and Dalefield was very surprised, obviously he didn't feel anyone near him at all.
Before he could tell Delfil if there was something wrong with his sense of smell, Delfil noticed that a middle-aged black-haired man in a black leather coat appeared beside him, and the casual man looked at the city in miniature like Delfil, as if he had always been here.
"Hello, Mr. Kiritsugu Emiya. Delphi greeted the other stiffly, and the sudden appearance of such a man made her feel very frightened.
If it was an enemy, now Delphi has become the opponent's ghost.
"I don't know, what is Miss Delphi doing here?" his eyes were still looking at the city, ignoring the other party's grim expression.
"And so on. Sensing that the other party might just be putting pressure on him, Dalefield dispelled the fear in his heart and answered the other person's question in a normal manner.
"Miss Shilinya?"
"That's right. β
"Thank you. β
After a brief conversation, Emiya Kiritsugu threw down a word of thanks and disappeared around the corner of the corridor, watching this man disappear, Dalefield felt inexplicable, not knowing what the other party was doing.
Compared to Delphi's current leisure, the atmosphere in the room is like a powder keg, and a small spark can detonate it.
It was supposed to be normal persuasion, but when Karin told Vasily's daughter, it turned into a volcano that was about to erupt, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong.
"Think clearly!" Karin strengthened her momentum for what she had just said, staring straight into the other party's eyes, and not shrinking because of the other party's fiery eyes, "I didn't do any secrecy work when I came, someone with a heart has already noticed the general's current condition, if Miss Shilinya and I leave with disappointed faces, then even if we don't say anything to outsiders, I'm afraid the general's physical condition is no longer a secret!"
Listening to Karin's threatening persuasion, Shilinya gasped, she didn't expect her goddess to be such a scheming, and she unknowingly pulled herself into this conspiracy.
But it's not a conspiracy, after all, it's just a good persuasion of the patient, how could her goddess play such a conspiracy to ruin her image?" Shilinya thought to herself, even though she knew how deceitful her idea was.
"Well, you know, I don't like to be threatened with my daughter......" Vasily said gloomily, looking down at the papers on the countertop, but his own sunlight never moved from above.
The current atmosphere makes Shilinya feel very bad, because now Vasily doesn't even seem to know where to throw his respect for Karin, and it seems that a battle may break out at any time.
"Besides, if I'm dead, aren't you free? You don't have to worry about your husband being a man as old as your father, so you won't be able to pursue your own happiness?"
Perhaps it was the reason why the real thoughts in Karin's heart were said by the other party without reservation, and Karin, who was still aggressive, was now speechless, and her slightly squirming lips wanted to stop talking.
What Vasily said should not make Karin hesitate, and it also alarmed Shilinya, who was watching the play, because the other party also said Shilinya's wish at this time - I will be happy if you die.
"I ......" Karin looked at the other party's eyes and glared at her, wanting to say it, but she didn't know what to say.
After all, Shilinya is next to her, and these open secrets are said openly, which is not a good thing anyway.
"My father needs the strength of the Rurik family......" After a pause, Karin finally said the matter, "Only if I marry you can the alliance between my father and the Rurik family be strengthened." β
"That's right. The anger in Vasily's eyes disappeared for some reason, and what replaced the other party was only a forced helplessness.
"My family also wants to be able to maintain such an alliance, but you don't need to worry too much about this matter because I am dead and there are other people in my family who can marry Her Majesty the Princess. A faint smile slowly appeared on the other party's face, not knowing whether it was mockery or concern.
"Don't want to ......"
"Don't tell me you're in love with me, my daughter is your age now, and even if you say that, I can't accept this marriage. Vasily left his place and came to Shilinya, looking at the girl, who was also about the same age as his daughter, and ignoring Karin, who was arguing with him.
"Miss Shilinya, I hope that my conversation with Princess Karin today will not be known to outsiders. Vasily solemnly warned Shilinya, a fist away, clenched hands, as if Shilinya could not give a satisfactory answer, something unpleasant would happen.
"It's something that anyone with a discerning eye can see, but I don't really want it to get out. Shilinya didn't answer for a long time, and Vasily's eyes began to slowly narrow, and his sharp gaze revealed a very terrifying light, and a materialized murderous aura began to constantly pressure Shilinya.
If it weren't for her identity, Shilinya would definitely use some violent means to keep it a secret.
"It's not just her, I know what Miss Shilinya will do. Just as Shilinya was about to say "understood", Karin immediately pushed Shilinya aside and stretched out her arms to protect the other party from Vasily from acting aggressively.
"And Miss Shilinya is innocent, and I hope you don't do something that no one wants to see. Half explanation and half threat, Karin was now subtly reminding those present who were and what the situation was facing.
I don't know if Karin's words worked, or if Vasily didn't think about making some radical moves in the first place, and all the actions just now were to scare Shilinya, who had never seen the world.
"Get out, I don't need you two children to take care ......of my affairs," Vasily sat back in his seat, and waved his hand to make these two people disappear from his eyes, which was the most direct eviction order.
Disappointed, Karin shook her head self-deprecatingly with her eyes closed, and took Shilinya's hand before leaving the room.
"Wait......" As Karin was about to leave the room, Shilinya suddenly broke free of Karin's hand and said loudly.
Shilinya's sudden abnormality made both of them feel very surprised, after all, this matter is not the other party's business, and I don't know what the other party is thinking now.
"Can I know what is wrong with His Excellency the General?" Shilinya made her request to Vasily, full of curiosity, as if she had asked such a question for the sake of her profession.
"What's the matter?" Vasily was disgusted by Shilinya's sudden request, and didn't seem to want to satisfy the other party's curiosity.
"I want to know about it, because I used to follow my mother to learn recovery spells, and it is my duty to treat patients, and I hope to have a way to deal with such a patient in the future......," Shirinya gushed about her work ethic.
The eloquent speech was full of persuasiveness, and relented the stubborn general.
"That's a good point. Vasily applauded Shilinya softly, and seemed to agree with what he had said, but he was still not going to accede to the other man's request, "But this one is an insoluble fatal woundβa slow fatal wound, legend is contagious, and I don't want a devoted doctor to die of curiosity." So, Miss Shilinya, please go back!"
Shilinya felt frustrated, she didn't know why the other party was so persistent, so incomprehensible, isn't it good to live!
"I haven't seen the legend, and I don't agree with it, so I want to see it. Karin watched from the sidelines, and Shilinya had to hold on to her position even more and not back down.
His gaze shifted to the ceiling on Shilinya's body, just as Shilinya did not understand the other party's persistence, and the other party did not understand Shilinya's noble professional ethics.
In his heart, Vasily didn't want to see anything happen to this girl who was similar to his own daughter because of his own reasons.
"Princess Karin go out, Miss Shilinya will tell me after all the measures are taken to isolate her......" said weakly, and Vasily finally gave in to Shilinya's "curiosity".
The two watches were still driven out......
