In the manor of Linhu Villa.

There is a small building near the lake, which is technically an open-air garden restaurant.

Under the azure drizzle, the "Great Sage" Higashinohara sat at a white round table on a manicured natural lawn under an umbrella by the lake.

The ivory-white cutlery reflects the daylight, and the surrounding lawn is full of flowers of different colors, and the breeze on the face crushes the fragrance of the flowers in the moist scent of water.

Sitting across from him was the Empress Doroshi. Alita, dressed in her black dressing gown, took a sip of tea and then said something to the maid who approached.

The maid quickly came up and added some milk tea from the manor's specialty to Higashinohara, and then bowed back without squinting, and began to prepare breakfast for the strange man and woman.

Higashinohara didn't go to see the maid.

He looked at the distant mountains on the other side of the lake, his ears were like the sound of the waves of the forest, and the corners of his eyes could occasionally see birds coming back from foraging, which made this manor known as "Lin Hai Villa" full of quiet and secluded.

"It's a nice place." I took a deep breath and felt the warm moisture of my nose and lungs.

This made Higashinohara, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly perked up slightly, and his heart was refreshed.

You must know that the magnates of the United States of Tagos have always liked the formation of gangs and factions to form the so-called "upper class", and even their residences prefer community-style mansions similar to those of Councilor Kenneth, and not many magnates will choose the manor of Shangjing Tianren.

But that doesn't mean that

The estate is not worth much in this country.

As the capital of the United Tagos Jamahiriyas, the royal district is the core area of the five administrative districts of Meje Province.

In such an administrative area where every inch of land is valuable, with such a large independent manor with unique holes, the value and deeper meaning are naturally indescribable.

......

At this moment, hearing Higashinohara's emotion, the empress Doroshi, who was sitting opposite. Alita looked up at Higashinohara, who was nonchalant, but her mind subconsciously remembered the absurd toss after waking up in the morning.

said that he wanted to "fight again",

However, in the end, her whole person was fluttering and hazy... In that bone-crushing trance, who will remember the struggle for dominance?

It's nothing more than you singing and our debut.

It is not the east wind that overpowers the west wind,

It's just that the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Perhaps the relationship between this pair of men and women who are still more complicated with each other also knows deep down that the so-called struggle for dominance is just a high-sounding "excuse".

In the final analysis, a young man has first learned this taste, and a Fang Jing has never been swept by a guest.

Last night there was an injury, there was a jerky reason, and it was always a bitter and short spring night.... So there will be this morning's "fight again".

Thinking of this, the fair-skinned neck was slightly reddened Empress Doroshi. Alita looked at the smile that landed on her face as Higashinohara sat across the table, and gradually felt a little strange in her heart, and she was a little uncomfortable all over her body.

Her almond eyes were also slightly confused, and she subconsciously glanced at her, and said in a cold voice, "If you like, you can live in this place permanently." ”

Ahh

So who have I become?

Higashinohara couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this:

"I don't really like to live elsewhere."

Empress Doroshi. Alita glanced at the 'stubborn' Higashinohara, lowered her head and muttered for two seconds, her voice was rarely much softer, and said softly:

"I don't often stay in Mae House, so it's okay to give you this manor, but this is an estate in my mother's name, and the formalities are a bit troublesome."

Higashinohara was surprised that the black swan-like woman in front of her, whose voice was always so cold, actually spoke softly to herself, but at this moment, after hearing the other party's words, she was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly waved her hand and said:

"I... I didn't mean that. ”

Hearing Higashinohara's refusal, Empress Doroshi. Alita glanced at it aggressively, lowered her gaze slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Higashinohara couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, if he was not mistaken, he clearly saw a trace of imperceptible loss in the eyes of the woman in front of him.

After his mind turned, he quickly reacted, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

The character of the woman in front of her seems to be strong and hard, but most of them have not had many close people over the years.

And this "Linhu Villa" manor,

In the eyes of Higashinohara, who was still working hard in New Tokyo last year to save enough money for an apartment, it was naturally very expensive and luxurious.

But for this woman from the Tianhu Bart family, a world-class financial oligarch from a family of heaven and earth, it is like having a lot of "toys" given by her mother when she was a child, some of which were even forgotten in the corner, and she was rejected when she wanted to share them with a close little boy.

"I'm not trying to reject you."

Higashinohara scratched his eyebrows, the communication gap with the 'rich woman' was too big, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It's just that this manor is too expensive, and it's useless, in our hometown, men can't just accept women's valuables, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Dolohi. Alita asked subconsciously.

But after all, she has lived in the Beijing Adjudication Division for a long time, and she is not hidden in the deep mountains and old forests and does not eat the fireworks of the world.

As soon as the words came out, she seemed to realize something, and she couldn't help but blush slightly, and her deep and slender dark blue almond eyes glanced at Higashinohara with a little disgust.

This made Higashinohara's heart flutter.

I remembered the clouds and rain in the morning on the very large, very soft velvet bed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of that room.

The woman in front of him, who is as cold as a black swan, seems to have a slight change in front of him.

It's precisely this different change,

I can't help but let Higashinohara, a young man who has just met the taste, shake in his heart.

Holding the milk tea in front of him, Higashinohara took a sip gently, put it down and looked at the woman in front of him again and said, "My name is Higashinohara, and I'm an exchange student from Wano Country to Stafford's private school park, speaking of which, I don't seem to know your name yet." ”

After hearing the word 'name', the empress seemed to remember something from the past in her heart, and her eyes were slightly fluttering.

She sat quietly at the white round table in the shape of a black rose, and suddenly raised a strand of black hair from her ear, and said softly:

"Does the name matter that much?"

Higashinohara was slightly stunned, but still nodded seriously, "It's important to me." ”

In his previous life, he was an otaku and had nothing to do with men and women.

In this life, he was in a lot of risks not long after he came to this world, although there were a few kind and amiable women around him, but after all, he still lacked something, and he never had the idea of taking a step.

Unexpectedly, providence made people, but after coming to this unfamiliar United States of Tagos, that happened to the woman in front of him in front of him.

Higashinohara has never been a lying flat character, since it happened, then he will take it seriously, even if the other party is behind the adjudication division, he will not be a turtle with a shrunken head.

Although he won't admit it with the other party's character, in Higashinohara's heart, the other party has now become his person, so of course he must know the other party's minimum name.

As if hearing the seriousness in Higashinohara's tone, the empress raised her dark blue eyes and glanced at Higashinohara, and then said slowly, "Doroshi. Alita, you can call me Alita-sama just like everyone else. ”

"Mistress Alita?"

Higashinohara frowned, and suddenly shook his head with a smile, "This is not very good, or I will call you Doroshi, or Duoduo......

Uh, that's it. ”

After speaking, he noticed a sudden cold aura on the black swan-like woman in front of him.

Higashinohara, whose tone was a little floating, realized the fact that the other party was a ninth-order powerhouse again, so he could only laugh dryly and quickly stop.

At this moment, the maid, who had just bowed away, came pushing the dining cart again.

On the tray of the dining cart are two very simple breakfasts, cinnamon rolls, crepes and two breads with caviar and cheese, which are common in the United States of Tagos.

The maid gently put down her breakfast, and somehow took out a black digital camera and handed it to Dorohi, who was near the lake. Alita's hands.

From beginning to end, her gaze didn't linger on Higashinohara for a second longer.

But the afterglow of Higashinohara's eyes,

But she still noticed that this maid, who was about fifty years old, was surprised that a strange young man suddenly appeared in this quiet manor.

Behind the unconcealable surprise, what made the maid's outlook on life even more shocked, I am afraid that the two of them actually walked out of the young lady's bedroom together this morning.

At this time, just as the maid turned around and was about to leave, she lowered her head and fiddled with the camera in her hand for a while. Alita suddenly whispered:

"Let's take a picture for us."

"What?"

Almost at the same time, Higashinohara and the maid looked at the Empress Doroshi, who was sitting there quietly. Alita.

Empress Doroshi. Alita handed the digital camera in her hand to the maid, and said in a calm tone,

"You're going to have to report to Shangjing's mother later, don't you? I don't want her to bother me anymore, so you can take a picture of us and give her a report. ”

Higashinohara heard the Empress Doroshi. Alita's straightforward words, after a little stunned, understood what the other party's "mother" meant to him.

Ahh

Is this something that can be filmed?

The maid who was standing beside her couldn't help but smile awkwardly when she heard this, showing a somewhat helpless and grateful expression.

She was only a servant, a young lady on one side, a young lady's mother on the other, and the owner of the estate who paid her salary.

She is caught in the middle, and it is unlikely that she will not be offended on either side.

At this moment I heard the Empress Doroshi. Alita simply picked out the words, of course, she only had gratitude in her heart, and quickly bent down and bowed her head to take the camera from the empress's hand, and then expertly focused on the couple who were sitting in the lakeside garden open-air restaurant for breakfast.

There are still some Higashinohara who don't understand the situation and subconsciously want to refuse, but the empress Doroshi on the other side. Alita, however, seemed to see Higashinohara's inner concerns.

She said calmly:

"This picture will only appear in my mother's hands and in my private collection, and no one else will see it."

Higashinohara was suddenly broken in his mind,

There's nothing embarrassing about it.

- After all, he had just beheaded Mitheus, the second inquisitor of the Adjudication Division, last night.

During this time, the identity is really a little sensitive, and it is understandable to have such concerns.

It's just that after he was stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized that just now Doroshi. Alita's words meant that she couldn't help but say with a strange face, "Your... Private collection. ”

Empress Doroshi. Alita's neck flushed slightly when she heard this, but her face remained silent.

She glanced at Higashinohara calmly, "If you want, you can take one as well." ”

"So... Let's have one. ”

Higashinohara sighed inwardly.

Empress Doroshi. Alita naturally couldn't hear the sigh in Higashinohara's heart.

Hearing that he also wanted to keep a photo of the two of them, the corners of the empress's cold red lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, as if revealing some deep inner pleasure.

In the next second, after sensing Higashinohara's gaze, she quickly returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the flash suddenly lit up, and only the sound of "card rubbing" was heard in the ear, and the maid on the side of the dining table captured this scene with great "photography talent".

Empress Doroshi. Alita's body under the black nightgown couldn't help but stiffen slightly, frowned, and said to the maid on the side in a deep voice:

"I'll take a look at the photos first."

The maid hurriedly bent down and handed over the three photos washed out by the camera. Alita took it and glanced at it, and her frowning beautiful willow eyebrows suddenly wrinkled even deeper.

In the photo,

The eye is drawn to the azure background of the distant mountains.

The lake is bright, drizzle and empty,

A tall man and woman in black dressing gowns sit opposite each other at a white round table in the lakeside open-air garden restaurant.

The corner of the woman's eyes caught a glimpse of the young man's eyebrows, and the corners of her lips unconsciously appeared a slight arc, making this dry ink landscape painting-like quiet picture inexplicably linger with surging warmth...

However, in the next second,

Empress Doroshi. Alita handed the three photos back to the maid beside her, and said noncommittally, "Take it again." ”

"Huh? Isn't it a good shot? Let me see. ”

Higashinohara, who was sitting opposite, heard this, raised his hand and took out a photo from it, swept his eyes and smacked his mouth and said, "It's a good shot..."

The words are not finished yet,

He noticed the corners of his lips slightly upturned when the cold face of the empress in the photo caught a glimpse of his face, and couldn't help but glance at the other party with a strange face.

Empress Doroshi. Alita, however, had already turned her gaze to the side, looking at the lake rippling in the drizzle and not looking at Higashinohara, but the snow-white and smooth swan neck was slightly red again.

This woman...

It seems to have some meaning for himself, no wonder he didn't mention "dominance" after the morning exercise.

It seems that he still has a slight advantage.

As soon as I think of this,

Higashinohara was proud and a little happy.

Although he has another identity and the woman in the adjudication department, he is a rival to death.

But since such an absurd and unbelievable thing has happened, of course he doesn't want the relationship between the two to be all about Chi Guoguo's interests and cooperation.

"I'll see this one."

Higashinohara held back a strange smile and squinted at Empress Doroshi. Alita said.

He put it away, and then took out the two remaining pictures from the empress's hand again and handed one to the maid, and the third one was put back next to the breakfast in front of the empress.

Seeing this, the maid was a little at a loss.

The young man in front of her, though he had been a stranger to her before today.

But at her age, what storms have she never seen? Looking at this momentum, I can't say that this manor will have a future uncle in the future.

Can you not hear what my uncle said?

She had no choice but to look at the empress who was looking sideways at the ripples on the lake in the rain.

Unexpectedly, Empress Doroshi. Alita didn't refute Higashinohara's words after hearing them, but just sat there without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, the maid in her fifties didn't understand, so she quickly took the photo handed over by Higashinohara, didn't dare to look at it, put it in a brown calfskin envelope and sealed it, and then turned around and pushed the dining cart and took the camera away.

Wait until the footsteps fade away, and the Empress Doloshi. Alita slowly withdrew her gaze at the lake.

Immediately, she frowned and looked at Higashinohara, who had always had a strange smile on her face, and her face suddenly turned slightly cold.

"You look smug."

"Nope!

Never! ”

Where will Higashinohara admit it.

His current strength is not as good as others, and he doesn't dare to tease this thin-skinned amazing empress anymore, so he can only forcibly change the topic and say, "Will that photo just now be sent to your mother?" ”

"That's right, she's alone." The Empress nodded.

"And your father will see it too?" Higashinohara couldn't help but ask.

He remembered that the Empress seemed to say in the morning,

Her mother was also married to a human man and gave birth to her half-breed.

That's it.

Between humans and humans,

It should be more sympathetic, right?

Unexpectedly, the Empress Doroshi. After hearing Higashinohara's words, Alita couldn't help but look at him deeply, and her voice couldn't hear too many fluctuations and said:

"He's dead and can't be seen."

"Huh? I'm sorry...."Higashinohara was slightly stunned, and was about to make up for something.

The other party's next sentence came to his ears immediately.

"My grandfather ordered him to kill him."

"Hmm... Well?! ”

Higashinohara looked up suddenly.

.....。
