"Aihuas," Isabel asked earnestly, "no offense...... But if I remember correctly, you used to live in an orphanage, right? ”

"Hmm." Ivus nodded.

Isabel whispered a little unbearably, "I also went to see the orphanage. The kids there were eating a tan paste that I couldn't even understand what the ingredients were, and they couldn't even get enough of it. They had no cotton clothes, and in the winter they didn't even have hot water to bathe in. There are no separate toilets for men and women in the orphanage, let alone separate cubicles. Everyone slept together, and there were many children in one bed. ”

"The orphanage on Glass Island is definitely different from the outside."

Ivas sighed and explained, "The orphanage where I live was funded by my adoptive father. Although I don't have enough to eat, I still have meat every week. There are even roast chicken, barbecue meat, cod steak and haggis pudding during the holidays. As for not having enough to eat...... That's to keep the kids from being too energetic and noisy. It's like a prison doesn't feed a prisoner.

"As for sleeping - we didn't have a separate room either, but we had a separate bed. We had eight to twelve beds in a room, and I always slept with Yulia in my arms. Because if she wakes up in the middle of the night and can't see me, she will be very scared, and her temperature will rise immediately. ”

“…… Even if it's an orphanage, it's different. ”

Isabel muttered, "Why is this happening......"

Ivus shook his head slightly and whispered, "Because of the port, Isabel." The Isle of Glass has the largest port in Avalon, and the largest number of griffons and knights in Avalon guarding merchants and goods. In this way, wealth will naturally gather here from all directions. ”

Looking at Isabel who was struck, Aihuas felt a little relieved.

- There has to be such a time.

Now that Isabel has no wandering experience of ruining her country and family, it is not bad to have such an experience of "micro-service private visit".

And the blow she has suffered, the pain and confusion she feels now...... It shows that even if she doesn't bear that kind of pain and doesn't become the iron-blooded "Queen of Flowers", Isabel still has her kind and gentle heart.

Being a monarch may be a little weak, but Ivas prefers to be loyal to such an Isabel.

Ivas whispered comfortingly, "I'll help you, Isabel." ”

With that, Ivas revealed the previous transactions and transactions that Grandet had made with him.

Isabel is very smart. Without Ivus's explanation, she immediately reacted: "With the freight railway, the economy of those remote cities should be better, right?" ”

"The gap between before and after will only be a world of difference."

Eivers replied very simply: "Where even horse-drawn carriages are not good for transporting goods, if there is a high-speed railway connecting the whole country...... There is no doubt that wealth and happiness will swell at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. ”

If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is certainly true.

"In that case...... I have a lot of options! ”

Isabel's eyes widened with excitement, and her emerald green pupils, which had been dimmed by fatigue and pain, brightened again: "Thank you, Ehuas! I'll find a way to get goblins and trolls into the Avalonian construction, the harbor part...... Well, I'll take care of the rest! ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and asked with some curiosity, "But...... The money that Grandet gave to you, is that considered a bribe? ”

But soon, Isabel realized that what she said didn't sound right, so she quickly explained in a panic: "Ah, I don't mean to ask, it's your money, you helped me a lot." It's just that...... I'm just a little curious, because it's the first time I've met ......."

"—count."

Isabel was still struggling with how to ask questions, but Ivas replied directly and in the affirmative: "It's not just bribery, but also agitation." ”

"Agitation?" Isabel was a little confused.

"Although I have some money at home, the meaning of working capital is different from that of fixed assets, not to mention that it is a huge amount of money that is completely unregulated. This huge amount of living money flows directly into my hands, and I can easily use it as a lever to exert several times the actual influence......"

Ivas explained.

Seeing that Isabel was a little dizzy, her tired brain seemed to be unable to process the information, so Ivas simply skipped the intermediate steps and said directly: "This is his financial sponsorship of my usurpation." ”

“…… Hey? ”

Isabel was stunned for a long time.

She hesitated and let out a weak voice, "Are you going to usurp power, Aihuas?" That's why don't I ...... directly."

"I didn't mean that."

Ivus waved his hand, "I mean, he's nurturing my ambition by untying me from the constraints I've been subjected to...... That's what the saying goes, 'When a man is rich, he becomes bad'. ”

“…… So is he a bad guy? Isabel paused for a moment and asked.

"He's not a good guy. But we don't have to work together. ”

Ivus smiled: "After all, people are not good people, but money is good money. With his patronage, all your worries and pains will be solved. You don't have to worry about these things, just leave it all to me......"

As he had said this, Isabel suddenly got up from the table and threw herself into Ivus's arms.

It's not so much a hug as a headbutt.

She buried her head in Ivus's neck, one leg half kneeling on Ivus's lap, and the whole person was prostrate, burying her head firmly in Ivus's shoulder. Like trying to calm your silent crying, like a sad sigh, or just a yawn at the beginning of a big dream...... She inhaled deeply and tremblingly, and exhaled a warm breath slowly and for a long time.

Her body trembled slightly as she inhaled. As she breathed, she hugged Eivus's elbow and fingers with a slight force.

Even as she took a deep breath around Ewas's neck, Isabel tried to keep her body some distance from Ewas.

Ivas initially thought it was Isabelle's estrangement, but he soon realized that it was meant to be polite.

Because Ivas never acted too far against her, Isabel did not want to use her power to persecute or imply Ivus.

…… What a naïve and shy coward.

It's not like a beautiful girl with peerless beauty.,It's like a little boy who hasn't been in love.。

"It's okay to come back a little more."

Ivas sighed and whispered in Isabel's ear.

He reached out and hugged Isabelle's back hard, so that she would not be stretched like this, but let her relax and lean over completely. Then he pushed the crown on the table a little farther away so that it wouldn't spill the black tea.

Just being pressed by Isabel, Ivas could clearly feel the weight of that heavy dress. Not to mention Isabel who wears it all the time.

"I'm sorry, Iwas......"

Isabel's voice was very soft, she almost greedily inhaled the damp breath on the neck of Ivus, who had just taken a shower, and her fingers unconsciously grabbed his long white blonde hair, which was as cold as jade: "I just want to rest for a while......"

As she spoke, her voice gradually became a little less obvious crying: "I'm so tired...... I don't know how to do it either...... Good thing to have you ......."

"Your progress has been rapid, Isabel."

Ivas comforted softly, "Few people can change everything in such a short period of time...... It's a miracle. ”

He said this from the heart.

From the beginning when I didn't dare to talk to strangers, to now I can pretend to be my identity and go to Weifu for a private visit alone; From having to ask the teacher and grandmother for everything, to now traveling around the country alone to complete the parade ceremony without the protection of any fifth-level cronies; From the very beginning, she opened herself in three sentences during the promotion ceremony, and now she can go to unknown cities alone to investigate civilians without being identified......

Isabel grew stronger and stronger at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

From the beginning to now, only two months have passed.

Ivas closed his eyes slightly, and hugged Isabel harder, as if he were hugging himself.

- How long has it been since he awakened the memories of his past life? Knowing that the world he knew was about to be destroyed, he had put it all to rest...... How long has it been?

It seems like it's only two months.

Ivas said this as if he were saying this to Isabelle, as well as to himself.

He whispered in Isabel's ear, "So don't cry. I am with you. ”

But when Ivas said this, Isabel couldn't hold back, and her whole body trembled, and she cried out loud.

Ivas was at a loss for a moment—after the first cry, Isabelle's sobbing wepts grew louder and louder.

It's like a grievance, and it's like venting; It's like a scream, and it's like a reassurance.

While crying, she apologized inarticulately and said aggrievedly that she shouldn't cry......

This made Ivas a little helpless to hug Her Majesty, who was only one year older than him, and comforted him like a child, "Oh, it's okay to cry once in a while", not knowing whether he should cry or laugh.

But for some reason, Ivus's mood has inexplicably changed a lot.

It seemed that there was a dark cloud that he himself had not noticed, and it was dispelled from his heart by this cry.

- It's like Isabel cried for Ivus, who never cries.
