Chapter 857: The Girls' Thoughts
"Mom, I'm back!"
Walking into the room, Illya smiled happily and threw herself at Ellie in front of her, who hugged her and stroked her hair. Feeling Ellie's touch, Illya also narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.
"How? Illya? Is it fun outside? β
"Well, it's funny. Ann and Gureya took me to a lot of places to play, which was very interesting. β
"Thank you."
"Ah, you're welcome."
In the face of Ellie's thanks, Ann smiled and waved her hand.
"We don't have anything to do anyway......... And Illya is also lovely. β
"Then we'll take our leave."
Grua replied in a low voice, then bowed to Ellie and turned to leave.
"Oops............ Illya is such a sweet and smart boy. β
Leaving Ellie's room and coming to the hallway, Ann couldn't help but sigh.
"I really want to have a lovely daughter."
"Ahh.........h
Hearing Ann's emotion, Gu Leiya only responded casually, but Ann obviously seemed dissatisfied with Gu Leiya's answer, only to see her turn her head and stare at Gu Leiya again.
"I, also, good, want, give birth, one, one, but, love, of, daughter, son, ah!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Ann repeat word by word, Gu Leiya was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.
"But, but we're all women........."
"Of course it's not you! It's Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight! β
Looking at the red-faced Grea, Ann sighed helplessly.
"We're Mr. Knight's fiancΓ©e, shouldn't we be more conscious? There are more and more women around Mr. Knight, and we also need to have a sense of crisis. β
"Sense of crisis?"
"yes, it's okay to be like Leah and Miss Kanami......... But Miss Mary, Miss Ellie, and Miss Medea are all formidable enemies! β
It's not entirely unreasonable for Ann to say this, in their opinion, like Leah and Kanami, they will only be blessed when Duanmu Huai goes to their world. It's like a lover raised by a nobleman outside the home, so Ann doesn't particularly care about it. It's like a border official or a royal city bureaucrat, and it's almost a matter of who gets more attention.
But with the increase in the number of girls around Duanmuhuai, An also gradually developed a sense of crisis. Especially Ellie and Medeaβββ they are the servants of Duanmu Huai, which means that they will be with Duanmu Huai anytime and anywhere. What's more, the two sides also have a contract called "Spell", which can make Ann very jealous.
In addition, Ellie has the child Illya, which can be described as a killer in Ann's opinionβββ beautiful mother and lovely daughter, which will naturally make Duanmu Huai pay more attention to them. Although Illya is not Duanmu Huai's daughter in the strict sense, who doesn't like such a cute child, smart, cute and likable.
Isn't it the same in the royal palace? The princess who gave birth to a child was more cared for by the king, and if she couldn't give birth to a child, sooner or later she would have to go to the cold palace.
And Ann also felt that because of Illya's existence, Ellie also produced a charm of a maternal aura.
This is something they can't learn from these little girls, this is really only for women with children!
Of course, in addition to that, in Ann's opinion, their biggest rival is Mary.
Obviously, Duanmu Huai took what happened in Mary's world as the highest priority, and this time too, it was clear that Mary was just here to seek some reinforcements and change them to other planets, so Duanmu Huai directly sent a team of night guards to solve the problem. After all, there doesn't seem to be a particularly strong threat, but as soon as Mary asked for help, Duanmu Huai went directly to it in person, which in Ann's opinion, was somewhat discriminatory.
In addition, Duanmu Huai almost always takes Mary with him, no matter what world he goes to, so much so that O'Kis is jealousβββ which is also normal, there are some worlds that O'Kis can't go, but Mary can go......... Well, it's no surprise that Ogis would be upset.
Although Ann also knows that for Duanmu Huai, Mary's golden pupil is really powerful, and she will always carry it if it is necessary for herself.
But......... Love for a long time!
Even if Mary doesn't mean this to Duanmu Huai now, who can say for sure after a long time? Besides, Mary is also well-educated and well-mannered, and her manners are also in place, even from Ann's eyes, she is not much worse than the eldest lady cultivated by those high-ranking aristocratic families in Manalia, and she herself does not seem to hate Duanmu Huai.........
"The length of time together will cultivate a deep bond, you see Miss Rumielle......... Well, take 10,000 steps back, even if we believe that she and Mr. Duanmu didn't do anything in that future, but they have been together for sixty years, and they are almost like old husbands and wives! Do you understand? Gruya? β
Ann stretched out her hands, pressed Gureya's shoulders, and said earnestly.
As the princess of Manalia, although Ann has an innocent personality, she has also learned a lot about the emperor, so Ann knows very well that many times, the harem is actually no different from royal politics. You accompany the emperor all the year round, so the relationship between the emperor and you is of course better than others, like Leah, a "feudal official", even if the status is more important, but if you are not in the royal city all the year round, you don't need to be counted as an opponent at all.
However, even if they are newly promoted ministers like Mary and Ellie, they are also in the center of the royal city, so their influence and status are naturally incomparable.
Ann herself has also been working hard, for example, every time Duanmu Huai wants to do something, she will take the initiative to help.
But here's the problem.........
"Do you understand what I mean? Gruya? β
Looking at the friend in front of him, Ann had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, originally the two of them were Duanmu Huai's fiancΓ©es, the most justifiable. But Gu Leiya is introverted by nature and is not good at communicating with people, and secondly, she seems to be a little afraid of Duanmu Huai, so she is gradually a little alienated from Duanmu Huai.
This also made An anxious in her eyes, of course she knew what Gu Leiya was afraid of, because as a good best friend, Gu Leiya had also talked to her about what Duanmu Huai had said to her at the beginning. Indeed, it is true that the Inquisition of human supremacy is not very good at coping.
And Gu Leia's original personality was a bit negative, and she was not very good at taking the initiative.
This might be fine in school, but working in the trial court is a different story.
"Listen, Gura, the more this happens, the more you have to be proactive!"
"I, I know, so every time Mr. Knight asks me to do something........."
"This won't work!"
Ann shook her head vigorously, interrupting Gruya's defense.
"Listen, it's not like you're going to wait for Mr. Knight to say it. You have to be more proactive and offer to Mr. Knight that you are willing to help! Whether Mr. Knight agrees to your request or not is one thing for you, but you have to show your attitude so that Mr. Knight will know that you are willing to help him, otherwise every time he gives you an order to do it again, then Mr. Knight may think that you don't like to do it, and he won't take you with him again! β
"But......... For the sake of humanity, to exterminate other races, this is really ..............."
"Hey..............."
Hearing Gu Leiya's answer, Ann also sighed silently, the human supremacy of the Inquisition is indeed a problem, of course, in the eyes of An, who is also a human, this is actually not a big problem, but as a hybrid Gu Leia......... It seems to be something else.
"Didn't we read the rules of the court? Aliens refer to races that are completely outside of humans, and we have all seen along the way, whether it is the Star Alliance or anything, as long as it is a race other than humans, it will eventually betray humans, so it is understandable that the Inquisition will have this attitude. I don't think you should think too much about it, after all, aren't you also recognized by the Inquisition? Otherwise, Mr. Knight wouldn't have agreed to you building a dragon city on the Duel City side. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Well. β
Hearing Ann's answer, Grace thought for a moment, and finally nodded, which made Ann breathe a sigh of relief and smile again.
"Okay, in the future, you have to be more proactive with Mr. Knight, and I will also help."
"Okay, but ..............."
"But?"
In the face of Ann's curious gaze, Gu Leiya blushed and her gaze wandered, and then she raised her head and looked at Ann uneasily.
"What if......... I mean, just in case......... What should we do if we have a child who looks as fierce as Mr. Knight........."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ This is indeed a problem. β
At this moment, even Ann, who was optimistic by nature, couldn't help but hurt his brain.
"Ah βββ sneeze ββββ!"
Duanmu sneezed violently, and at the same time he punched crookedly, and the one-eyed ghoul's bone spurs slammed into his head, then shattered like plaster against the wall.
"Huh? Mr. Duanmu, are you alright? β
Seeing this scene, Mary was also quite surprised.
"Do you have a cold?"
"No, I guess which guy is orchestrating me behind my back."
Duanmu Huai wiped his nose, and then looked at the huge ghoul in front of him again. Unlike the green-haired woman's short stature, the ghouls she spawned were incredibly tall. But fortunately, there is no secret in front of the golden pupil, and Mary can see through at a glance that the huge body of the ghoul in front of her is nothing more than her shell, and in fact the green-haired woman herself is hiding within this huge shell, as if the pilot is manipulating a biological robot.
Now that you know what's going on, it's much simpler.
Duanmu Huai snorted, then stretched out his hand again, and grabbed the ghoul in front of himβββ at this moment the entire hall on the first floor of the countermeasures bureau has been completely evacuated, and the other investigators also rushed to hear the news, but they had no way to intervene in the face of the battle in front of them. I can only see Duanmu Huai and this one-eyed ghoul, you punch me and kick Ultraman as if they were fighting little monsters.
But fortunately, Duanmu Huai still has one more helper than Ultraman.
"Drinkβββ!"
Duanmu Huai once again punched off the bone spurs fired by the one-eyed ghoul, and seeing that there were more and more investigators around, the one-eyed ghoul also tried to turn around and run away. However, Duanmu Huai took the opportunity to rush over, grabbed the body of the one-eyed ghoul with both hands, and held it high.
"Mary!"
"Yes, Mr. Duanmu!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's voice, Mary also hurriedly raised the staff in her hand, pointed forward, and then pulled backβββ with Mary's movements, the roaring magical energy began to condense at the tip of her staff, and then, Mary clenched the staff, aimed ahead, and pushed forward.
Torrent of souls!
"Boom βββββββ!!"
The glowing magical beam pierced directly through the tall body of the one-eyed ghoul that had been lifted by Duanmu Huai, tearing its head apart and blasting the entire one-eyed ghoul's body through the middle.
Immediately afterward, the one-eyed ghoul struggled for a moment, and then completely dispersed, turning into a pile of tattered flesh.
"Whew, that's it."
Duanmu Huai threw away the mangled corpse, looked at the other investigators next to him, and then pouted.
"It seems that the security of your countermeasures bureau is not very good."
