Caesar is a very trustworthy person, and if he wants to confess to the emperor, he must confess. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
It doesn't matter what his situation is, how terrible Susan is, how violently the South rebounds...... None of them!
It will rain, and Caesar will confess, which cannot be shaken by thunder.
"You, you, what are you talking about?" Phoenix can pretend to be a battle mage to face the Grand Commander without changing his color, but he has never experienced this kind of battle, and subconsciously reached out to grab something, but his hand shook and knocked over the teaglass.
"I said, I like you, Mr. Phoenix. β
Caesar slowed down.
"From the first day we met in Aoki Castle, I loved it. At the time, I was still very ignorant, but then you got engaged and wanted to marry General Lan, and I realized that this was love. Then something happened, and I didn't have a chance to confess, and I wasn't ready to confess. Now I'm ready to tell you what I mean, and I hope you understand. I also want to know your ...... to me What do you feel, what do you think?"
These words are said in a clear and hierarchical manner, and what is even more rare is that the tone is smooth and stable, without the slightest trembling.
The phoenix glared at Caesar, blushing a little, and asked, "Hey, you're so skilled, it's not the first time you've confessed, right?"
Caesar snorted, scratched his head, and said, "Yes...... It's the first time. β
At this time, the phoenix grabbed a sofa pillow and held it in his arms, his face finally became less red, he calmed down, and asked again: "You said that you were not ready before, but now you are ready, what do you mean?"
Caesar whispered: "I think you care a lot about a man's sense of responsibility to the country, and it just so happens that I am lacking in this aspect, so I have to make up for this shortcoming before I dare to confess to you." β
Phoenix snorted, thoughtful, and did not deny Caesar's judgment of her.
She thought quietly for a while, and Caesar was not in a hurry, quietly looking at the phoenix in thought, always with a smile on her face.
The smile fell in the eyes of the phoenix, and it made her heart move again. There have always been many suitors of Phoenix, but most of them are crushes, few confessions, and even fewer confessions, and even fewer who continue to insist on confessions, and those who persist for a long time and don't give up seem to be Cassadine.
This is because Phoenix is not only a beautiful woman, but also an imperial soldier who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
Many people are attracted to her appearance, but those who truly understand and appreciate her inner military side are a minority of the minority.
The way Caesar looked at the phoenix at the moment, and the smile on his face, made the phoenix think that this manβwell, in fact, she wanted to say that this little ghost really understood herself, and could appreciate the person inside herself.
Ordinary women realize that there is a man who understands and appreciates her from the bottom of their hearts, and they are afraid that their hearts will be full, and they will immediately agree to confess, and then for a while, you and I will do it, maybe they will do it on the spot......
The phoenix froze, and then completely regained its composure from the panic caused by Caesar's sudden attack.
She pointed outside and asked, "You've brought back so many battle mage civilians, soldiers, and even a disciple, is that your answer?"
"Yes. β
"Do you think that the biggest enemy now is the dragon lord, so you want the north and the south to stop making peace and destroy Susan together before talking about anything else?"
"Yes. β
"Have you ever wondered what you would do if Panier suddenly fought back in the middle of the battle against Susan?"
"I'll clean it up. β
Phoenix snorted, frowned slightly, and fell into silent thought again.
Caesar picked up the teacup on the table, slowly sipped the second cup of bitter tea, and savored the wonderful taste of bitter sweetness, and his mood became calmer and calmer.
His cards, now that they're done: I like you, and I know you care, so I've figured out my attitudes and thoughts about this country and the world, and I'll tell you plainly.
Caesar guessed that Phoenix might ask more questions next, such as why you like me, whether you are on the south side or the north side, and what are you going to do with the battle mages after defeating Susan...... Something like that.
But when Phoenix spoke again, it was not said at all.
She said, "I didn't tell you, I was an orphan since I was a child, my father died in the Hengduan Mountains before I can remember, he was an ordinary soldier, he was killed by a battle mage. My mother took me and my brother to live on the military department's subsidies to the families of the sacrificed soldiers, and it was very hard and difficult. My brother later went to join the army and died in the first month after entering the Hengduan Mountains. My mother couldn't stand the blow and couldn't afford to get sick, and in less than half a year, she also died. I was ten years old at the time, and two years later because of my excellent performance in school, I was taken by General Lan by chance and became his student. β
Caesar listened, but was silent.
Phoenix never mentioned her own background, Caesar never asked, she used to express all kinds of beautiful attachment and protection to the Empire, and never heard her hatred for battle mages.
She even often praised the fighting philosophy of the Battle Mage, and her own style and methods were known for their simplicity and efficiency, and even more so like the Battle Mage.
Caesar didn't expect that the entire Phoenix family would die directly or indirectly at the hands of the battle mage.
The story she tells is actually happening every day for a hundred years, which is not surprising. And the same relatives were killed, and Phoenix's family was ordinary, and it was far less shocking than the killing of Nuonuo's father and second sister.
But when the phoenix said it plainly, Caesar felt a thrill. The atmosphere in the room seemed to have cooled down.
This was the phoenix's answer, and she didn't blame Caesar for showing her cards, but simply laid out her own cards.
Caesar whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about your origins. β
Phoenix shook her head, "It's okay, it's all in the past, and I've long since come out of my grief and pain." β
Caesar hummed and asked, "Is there any bitter tea?"
Phoenix smiled and poured another cup for Caesar, this time Caesar raised his head and drank it all, then got up and said, "Then I won't bother the teacher today, I still have some things to do, so I'll go first." β
The phoenix also got up, gave Caesar a gentle hug, and said, "Don't push yourself too hard. β
Caesar nodded, "Yes." β
There are many things that don't need to be explained very clearly, what kind of characters Caesar and Phoenix are, when it comes to this, it's enough.
When he walked out of the room, Caesar's tears finally couldn't help flowing, from the first encounter in Aoki City to the rejection at that moment just now, and the phoenix's few bits and pieces converged into a river and flowed through his heart.
Nothing, rejected was rejected, I really tried my best. Caesar told himself.
In fact, he had already predetermined many times that he might be rejected.
But it's still a bit unbearable for the presuppositions to become reality.
Caesar found pity and said, "Come with me, you have something very important to do." β
Poor nodded in confusion and followed, she would never go against Caesar's wishes. It's just that she looked at Caesar's face a little strangely, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, she felt that Caesar's eyes were very red.
Caesar took pity all the way to the center of the imperial capital, and the portal was stored by Caesar in the place where the dragon awakened, and it was ready at this moment.
Yes, Caesar is not going to wait, he is going to root the portal in the imperial capital.
Whether the people in the south approve of Caesar's decision, or not, the portal must take root, which is the fundamental basis for dealing with the three powerful enemies of Susan, the Grand Commander, and Hughes.
Anyway, it has been rejected by Phoenix, and things can't get worse than this, Caesar simply let go of his hands and feet and is ready to do a big job.
When he was about to walk to the Miracle Square, Wen Jing walked over, "Ah, Caesar...... Come on, there's something wrong, everybody's looking for you!"
Soon Caesar learned from Wen Jing that something had happened, a big one, and General Long had beaten Panier.
When Caesar arrived, General Long shouted: "Why don't you fight back? You and I are old rivals, how many wind and thunder mages you have killed, I know better than you, you war criminal, do you think that if you can't fight back now, you can wash away all your evil sins!"
Panir was half-on his knees, blood beneath him, and he coughed low and in pain.
General Long stood in front of him, he was actually not injured yet, and he couldn't fight Panier, but Paniel stood and was beaten the whole time, and he didn't fight back.
Around the two of them, there were many people standing, Nono, Elaine, the female general, Kiki, Long Jun, Cassadine, Green Eyes, Levi, as well as the long-lost pit daddy and spare tire, the high-level officials of the military department and the forest clan, all who should have arrived.
As soon as Caesar arrived, everyone looked at it and reacted differently, but there was one thing in common, that is, no one stood by Caesar's side except for the pitiful.
Nono took a step towards Caesar, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped back. Kiki was about to walk to Caesar's side, but was stopped by Long Jun.
Everyone else stood behind General Long.
Just by looking at the position, you can know where everyone stands.
Wen Jing hesitated slightly, leaned towards Elaine on Earth Street, stood in the middle, and whispered to Caesar at the same time: "You can ask General Long, the female general, and Mrs. Elaine for the specific situation, I can't say anything here." β
Caesar snorted, walked slowly into the door under the gaze of everyone, and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on here?"
General Long was simple and straightforward: "Kill Panier." β
After Caesar left, Phoenix took out a large stack of intelligence information from the military department, sat on the sofa and slowly flipped through it.
A person came out of the back room, it was actually the northern goddess Emily, she was originally in the imperial capital prison, before the phoenix had something to ask her, she temporarily mentioned it, and before she could finish asking, Caesar came running, so she temporarily let Emily stay in the house.
With Phoenix's current strength, naturally she doesn't take Emily seriously, there is no one else here but them, and Phoenix is not worried that Emily will run away at all.
"Why did you refuse him?" asked Emily as she walked out.
"Shouldn't you worry about yourself first?" Phoenix looked up from the information.
Emily snorted and said, "Anyway, the gap between me and you is already so big, I won't think about such a thing as surpassing you." Talking a lot with Barbara these days and thinking differently about a lot of things. Why the hell did you reject Caesar?"
"Refuse......" Phoenix looked at Emily strangely, "how could I refuse him?"
Emily yelled and asked, "Why didn't you refuse him?!"
Phoenix's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "When he came in, I poured him bitter tea, and told him that it was good to be bitter first and then sweet." I have a lot of military stubbornness in my personality, and I may not be easy to get along with, so I gave him a preventive shot in advance. β
Emily's eyes widened, "Then you later told him about your background, that your family had died at the hands of battle mages, and that he had just brought back a large number of battle mages, didn't you make it clear that 'the Tao is not the same', and refused cleanly and completely?"
Phoenix was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, I never tell others about my background, except for Cassadine, who grew up with me, and ...... General Blue, no one else knows. I told him the deepest secret of my heart, how could it be a refusal? and, in the end, ...... I also took the initiative to hug him......"
Emily asked, "Don't tell me, you actually agree with Caesar's theory of 'kill Susan before you do anything else.'" β
Phoenix smiled, "Of course I agree." I just received the news that General Long beat Panier, and everyone else went, probably thinking the same as General Long, and I, as the strongest person in the current empire, did not show up and completely handed it over to Caesar, doesn't this mean that I completely agree with Caesar's idea?"
Emily looked at the phoenix dumbfounded, unable to speak anymore, and only thought in her heart: "Oh my God, is this the legendary high-score imbecile, love idiot?!"
