Chapter Seventy-Four: The Questioning Plan
During the few days that Edge was studying in the Arsenal, Giroud stopped accompanying him from the next day, but stayed at Orwell's Mansion to accompany Leah. In fact, Liya is quite lonely these days, and she is all alone. It was true that she was the maid of Orwell's mansion, but the person she served was Age. In Age's absence, she became a servant without a master, idle every day.
She likes Giroud very much. When Giroud turns into a little dragon, he doesn't speak human words, but screams wow-wow, which is very endearing. Leah liked it, not only because of its curious appearance, but also because Leah knew it could talk. Leah was always thinking about how to make it reveal its identity so that it could not 'pretend'.
She had this because she wanted to know what secret Edge was. Since Ageie and Kate got involved, she has rarely been able to stay with Agey like she used to, help Ageie solve troubles, tide over difficulties with Age, etc. Aside from the duties of a maid, in terms of her personal feelings, she was actually happy to stay with Age.
If she had to say why, she couldn't tell. It was a complicated feeling, and there was something in Agee that she longed for. Courage, stubbornness, freedom, kindness, etc., she sometimes feels that Ageie is a person without shackles.
But in fact, everyone has shackles, and Aegie just has an extremely strong belief and keeps moving towards the goal.
At this time, Leah was staying with Giroud, who was eating the beef jerky that Lia had given him as usual. It loves this human-made food, which has a unique aroma that is not found in game. Eat a lot of game, and it's good to eat these cooked foods once in a while.
Leah sat in her chair and looked at it with her chin propped up, curious about what kind of creature this little dragon was. Even though she knew Giroud could speak, she never suspected that Giroud would be a real dragon. There is no dragon in the world that can turn into a dragon! a creature that has never appeared, Leah does not suspect that.
"Giroud, when did you meet Agey?" she finally asked, Giroud.
Giroud chewed on the delicious beef jerky, just "grunted~" at her. It didn't care if Leah understood it or not, it only knew that its call was a response to every human who tried to communicate with it.
Leah watched it fall silent, thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind to tell me that she had seen Giroud and Aegie talk. She wanted to know about Edge no matter what. She admits that she has Aggie in her heart. She didn't want to know anything about Edge anymore.
"Giroud!" she suddenly yelled at Giroud.
Giroud was biting on a piece of beef jerky when she suddenly screamed, and was startled that the beef jerky he was biting did not swallow.
"I know you can speak human words, so be honest and don't perfunctory me with the strange 'grunt' sound!" Leah said straight to it.
Giroud heard her and the beef jerky in his mouth fell straight away. It was stunned and didn't know how to react. How could this be? Impossible, how could Leah know that she could speak human words?!
"Last time, the last time I saw you, I remember very clearly that you were talking to Agey. Don't try to quibble, I'm confident that as a dedicated maid, I won't hallucinate or hallucinate, so you can honestly admit it!" Leah said as she stared at the stunned Giroud, and there was no room for Giroud's argument in her tone.
At this time, Giroud was very nervous and his heart was pounding. Things seem to be a bit of a big deal, and when Leah knows about such a thing, she must already be suspicious of Edge. In the past, Aegie resolutely concealed these things, but now he has done a lot of work in vain?
But...... Giroud was trying to find a way to minimise the impact, believing that Leah only knew that she could speak human words. As for the rest, such as the identity of the demon dragon, Leah definitely doesn't know yet. In this case, even if she admits that she can speak human words, as long as she refuses to mention the magic dragon, Leah still won't know too many secrets.
After figuring it out, it shook its head and said to Leah, "Li...... Leah, you're right, I'm a human speaker. But that's all I can admit. If you ask me anything else, I'm sorry, I'm not going to tell you anything. ”
"People who know too many secrets usually don't live long. Do you understand?' Giroud added.
"Don't try to ask Age, he won't tell you. And I'm sure that if you know too much, not only will you be in danger, but so will Age. ”
"For the sake of Age, I suggest you don't be so curious. Giroud took the Dragon's side and confessed everything to Leah. The danger it talks about naturally refers to the threat of the four great dragons and the existence of other forces hostile to the demon dragons.
The thing is very clear. The existence of the light power wants to destroy the demon dragon, and the existence of the dark power wants to get the power of the demon dragon. Therefore, once the fact that Aiji is a demon dragon knight is revealed, whether it is the light or dark system, there will definitely be people who will come to him for trouble.
Perhaps that is a law that has not changed in history, there are two forces in the world, one light and the other dark. And often, the power of light is stronger. But at the same time, even the more powerful forces of light could not completely destroy the forces of darkness in the first place.
Light and darkness contend, and Aegie is caught in between. His mind is naturally bright. But the power he possesses is indeed dark. Even if he doesn't define it that way, people will define it that way. If the identity of the Dragon Knight is revealed, he will either throw himself into the dark forces and fight against the light without hesitation. Only then will his position be clear.
But if he had good intentions and used the power of darkness to help the light, it would be too contradictory, and not everyone would be able to understand him.
Leah didn't expect Giroud to say such serious words as soon as she opened her mouth, and she looked at Giroud for a while and didn't know what to say. And at this time, Edgey returned from the court, ending her embarrassment.
Seeing her staring at Giroud, Aegie thought she was just teasing Giroud like before, so she didn't care about anything, and greeted directly: "Leah, Giroud, I'm back~"
He smiled, very happy. But Leah shook her head fiercely, stood up, said nothing, and walked away. She said that she didn't want to pay attention to Aggie anymore, who made Aggie a war maniac, only getting stronger in her heart, and didn't care about the people around her at all.
"Leah......" Leah stood up and left, and Edge had no idea why. All he knew was that Leah looked angry.
The question is, are you doing something wrong?
He doesn't pay much attention to emotional things, exactly like he said when he coaxed Leah, he is very wooden and very incomprehensible.
"Don't look, people are angry with you, and it's useless to watch unless you coax her back...... Oh no, it's useless to just coax, you have to do something practical to come out, like ...... Kiss or even get into bed or something......"
"Hey, hey, hey...... Don't pull my wings!!"
Giroud was grabbed by Edge's wings and lifted up. The reason is, of course, what it just said. Aegie was very annoyed to hear those words, how could Giroud keep saying these nasty things lately, and he was not really in heat!
"I don't know what's going on, but I'll take care of what I'm angry about, so please don't talk about that...... Lewd-promiscuous!"
"Don't pretend to be pure, it's still called lewdness, it's a psychopathy! You don't go outside to see the art gallery, alas, those statues are called real lewdness......" Giroud recalls an art gallery he saw when he ran outside to play the day before. Inside the exhibition hall is a special exhibition hall dedicated to sexuality, which is filled with statues of various men and women who have been carved by bold artists.
"Shut up!" Age couldn't imagine what Giroud had been exposed to in the past few days of his idleness, and now he was only anxious to track down the mastermind who was going to assassinate Kate. He came to Giroud to kidnap Sain and intimidate him as a bandit, hoping that such a plan would yield something.
As mentioned before, such a practice is gambling. If the bet wins, then the mastermind who wants to kill Kate has been found. If the bet is lost, then Kate will face a lot of trouble. Aegie can kidnap and question Sain with his face masked, pretending to be a bandit. But if Sain is not the mastermind, then Sain will definitely think that someone sent by Kate has kidnapped him.
At that point, Sain is bound to go crazy for revenge on Kate.
Giroud really didn't know what to say when he heard him say such a plan. This guy ...... Do you really think that Kate is in love with him and won't blame him for anything? I don't discuss it with Kate if I make this kind of plan, if there is an accident, Kate doesn't kill him.
But he seems to have made up his mind, and he always makes decisions so decisively. Now, without even coaxing Leah, he took Giroud out of the mansion to observe Sain's movements, find an opportunity to kidnap Sain, and carry out the coercion plan.
