When Major Ron woke up in his comfortable bed the next morning, he sat up yawning with a sense of relief after a complete break.

While rubbing his eyes and going to wash, he put on his coat and walked out of the bedroom, and then he was frightened.

"How did you make yourself like this!"

The Major looked in shock at Colonel Fraser, who was sitting in a chair in the living room.

The guy was drunk with a half-drunk bottle of alcohol at his hand, his otherwise modest jacket was thrown on the floor, his expensive shoes were scattered from side to side, and his expensive shirt was covered with wine stains.

This is a bad demeanor that must not be seen in the heir of the Capetian family, and yet it happens.

"Hey! Did I miss any great drama last night? ”

Ron hurriedly stepped forward to check on the situation, and found that Fraser wasn't actually drunk, or rather, he hadn't drunk much, and there was still more than half of the wine in the bottle, so at best the guy had a few drinks.

But just that made him look like this shows that it's not the wine that really makes this guy decadent

Faced with Ron's inquiry, Fraser was silent.

The Major was momentarily overwhelmed, but there were still two hours left before the conversation they had agreed with Governor Murphy last night, so Major Ron hurriedly contacted the only person he could contact at the Crimson Keep who could help.

Ten minutes later, with the neighing of the war horse, the energetic "Honorary Pioneer Officer of the Riptide Knights", the proud blonde female knight Miss Pinky Pie came over in a rage, and came to help her fiancé who was weak and in trouble.

When she kicked the door open, Major Ron, who had already helped Frazier change his clothes, stared at Miss Becky's standard vampire-style armor in amazement.

He exclaimed:

"The eldest lady of the Sivir family has taken refuge in the vampires? Oh, my God! The hell of Translancia is a hell of a place to describe in every way. ”

"You're thinking too much, this is just a gift from my grandfather to his favorite little granddaughter."

Becky didn't care about that.

She strode forward with her cool vulture helmet, frowning at the smell of alcohol from Fraser's body as soon as she got closer.

As a female knight who is strict with her classical knightly code, Miss Pinkie doesn't like men who indulge in indulgence.

It was very different from the image of Fraser that she remembered.

"Liwen is good, help."

She said to her squire, and the black-haired, black-eyed half-dragonborn knight shrugged his shoulders and snapped his fingers.

A cyan psionic aura quickly turned into a breeze and circled around Fraser, and the cool breath made the decadent colonel wake up in an instant, and he could no longer paralyze his loss and frustration with alcohol.

And when he woke up, he saw the pretty face of the angry Becky who was squatting in front of him, staring at him with "hate iron does not make steel" eyes.

"Alas, I messed up."

Fraser whispered:

"Miriam broke with me, that's not the problem, the real problem is that I can't understand why she's so angry, and I suddenly realize that I don't really know her at all."

"Hah, I knew it!"

After hearing this answer, Becky Pie, who was still angry just now, immediately grinned.

She hooked her finger at the unhappy Knight Liwen, and the squire reluctantly took out a gold coin from his waist bag and put it in Becky's hand.

It's a bet.

Becky and her bet on Fraser would be disappointed, and it turns out that Becky's strange brain is really talented in this kind of thing.

She almost perfectly predicted Fraser's defeated posture at this time.

And this scene also made Colonel Fraser angry, and even after being hit, he roared out of control with emotion:

"You! You actually bet on the tragic experience of your fiancé? Becky Pie! What kind of blonde demon are you! ”

"I just wanted to prove that I wasn't stupid, and it turned out that I wasn't the dumbest of the three of us.

It makes me feel happy. ”

Becky sat down on the chair next to her, skillfully crossed her legs together, and struck a "big guy sitting position" commonly used by a small player.

She spread her hands relaxed on the edge of her chair, showing a "domineering and exposed" gesture, and snorted again, and in the eyes of Major Ron leaning against the wall and watching the excitement, she said:

"I knew you'd be in Miriam's place, and you're right, Frazier, you don't really know her.

You just know that Miriam was born into a poor family, that she was born into a poor family, that she suffered in the first half of her life, that she struggled in Translancia, and that she was lucky enough to meet Governor Murphy and then ascend to heaven.

You think you've learned Miriam's heart, however, she's more complicated than you think.

Quite simply, it was only after I became close friends with her that I realized that beneath Miriam's delicate exterior was a soul that was tougher and stronger than me, more than you, and more than everyone in this room combined.

The natives call their Scarlet Archon the model of all women.

They're not talking nonsense!

You think you've helped Miriam find her life, bringing her true nobility and nobility, and allowing her to justifiably get out of the bottom

You think you're helping her.

But you overlook, or you never realize, that Miriam doesn't need any of that at all!

She doesn't need the approval and praise of others to live well, and even in my opinion, it humiliates her to pull Miriam into our conservative and closed circle.

On their own, they have a brighter future than 99% of the aristocracy.

Preaching the superiority of the theory of descent in front of such a self-made man, ignoring all the efforts of others, attributing her current achievements to the so-called 'glorious bloodline' that she had left to her by an irresponsible father.

Ha, my poor Frazier, are you sure that you are seeking to please a woman, and not to humiliate them in the most pathetic way?

But think about the benefits. ”

Becky played with her long blonde hair, and with a strange smile, she said teasingly:

"After you took out your carefully prepared 'gift', Miriam didn't pick up the Hammer Guard and shoot you in the skull, proving that you do have an extraordinary place in her heart. Therefore, you have to feel proud.

She doesn't mince words about other men. ”

“？？？”

These words silenced Frazier, but made Major Ron's eyes widen next to him, and he finally figured out the cause and effect, and he exclaimed:

"So, that Archon Miriam is actually a descendant of the nobles of Sealand? She has noble blood and is one of us? Ha! I see! No wonder Fraser was obsessed with her, such an identity could indeed convince the Count of Lyon to admit her.

Fraser's little abacus is really loud. ”

"So, you're a macho fool too!"

Becky glanced disdainfully at Major Ron, and she snorted and said:

"You don't understand what I just said! Listen to me, you two, Lady Miriam has taught me not to see myself as a vassal of men, much less to reduce my personality to the level of the cake you take.

I thought I was determined and brave enough, but it turned out that I was just a coward who pretended to be brave but didn't know how to be brave.

She's a true warrior!

She taught me what true rebellion is, and that is to defeat you in the areas you are good at and even dominate!

The stupidest thing about Fraser is that he likes Miriam, but he pursues her in the stupidest way possible.

He puts his bloodline above his love, and even if he is looking for a partner, he will only dare to take the next step based on the fact that Miriam is a member of the so-called 'our' circle!

Does he dare to say that he is looking for the Beverly family inheritance for Miriam, just to help poor Lady Cynthia get back everything she deserves?

No!

He must have had some reason partly because he thought in his bones that his origins would not allow him to spend his life with a commoner lady.

He was so deeply hurt by the bloodline argument.

The so-called bloodline makes people glorious has dazzled his eyes, hmph, no wonder Professor Malcolm has never thought very highly of you, Frazier. You've learned a lot in the college of halflings, but that hasn't changed your undertone.

You are courteous and courteous, but that is only part of what you think of as aristocratic is not because you really respect the toiling masses.

Well, I have to admit, I used to be like that.

Hypocrisy and self-esteem, pompous and deeply humble, stupid and pretending to be wise, dull and clumsy.

But I had seen with my grandfather's correction the illusion of all this, and I had seen with my own eyes how the lower strata of Transencia were knighted and how they had grown, and that it made me realize that our ancestors were just like them, and that the blood flowing in our bodies was not much more noble than the blood that smelled of earth.

We're just pretending to be noble, and we're trying to divide the world into categories by class or fame and make the world run the way we want it to, but you know what?

The world has its own rules, and the only one who is really bound is ourselves!

It's stupid.

It's like a monkey who puts on human clothes and thinks he's become a human too. ”

Becky shrugged her shoulders and said:

"Bloodlines are never inherently noble! No elven royal family would treat their fellow citizens so arrogantly. So don't put gold on your face, Frazier, and remember that before your grandfather's generation, the Capets were nothing more than a broken aristocracy.

Lady Triss told me that story more than once.

Your grandfather was so poor that he couldn't even afford to live in a hotel when he met Lady Trace, and he had a title and a title, and Mr. Skanderbeg's only thought every day was to fill his stomach.

If you and Miriam are swapped

You can do less than a tenth of what she can do, and from this point of view, in front of her, you are the real weakling, you have to recognize your situation!

Therefore, let's correct our mentality and position.

You have to realize this, Miriam is not the stupid white sweet in those stories, just lying in the boudoir waiting for your blessings.

She is the Archon of Translasia!

More than 200,000 people are under her management.

A single order of hers can keep your superior, Marshal Loren, awake at night, and one of her contracts can also allow Her Majesty the Wolf Maiden to initiate reforms that affect a country!

That's something that even your father would have a hard time doing.

In this comparison, your quest is not much easier than pushing a rock up a mountain, well, that story is really interesting, you should go to Professor Malcolm and listen to it.

Liwen, what is the name of the protagonist of that story? ”

"Sisyphus, Miss."

Knight Liwen replied in a calm tone:

"You're right, both Colonel Fraser and Major Ron should go to Professor Malcolm's lecture, which will help to wash away the arrogance that belongs to aristocratic men in their hearts.

Lady Miriam's break with you is just telling you that your set won't work in Transnesia! And love is not a reward given by a noble man to a lowly-born Cinderella. ”

"Hey, look at our proud Fraser like a defeated rooster"

Becky stood up and stepped forward to lift Fraser's chin, and the blonde knight kissed Fraser on the forehead, and she said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"I'm sorry, Frazier, but not only have you lost Miriam's favor, but I don't recognize you as much as I used to. Because I suddenly realized. You've humiliated my personality in the same way before.

Professor Malcolm has been learning some strange things lately, and he has taught me that one cannot betray one's own class, and frankly, I don't know much about these complex truths.

But I can guess that if you were to give you a choice between your own family and Miriam, you wouldn't be able to choose Miriam.

So, I mean, give it up!

Your rank is too low.

You're going to be run over by Miriam, and in reality, as someone who has come before, I'll tell you that feeling is really bad.

Of course, our contract is still valid.

If you can't win the favor of Miriam, and if you can't conquer the heart that I have broken through, and can only vent the wrath of a cowardly man by conquering my body, I am still happy to be your bride~

But will you? My proud senior. ”

After throwing this sentence, Becky crossed her waist and let out an unscrupulous laugh like a villain, and then said goodbye to the silent Fraser and the stunned Ron very ladylikely, and swaggered away with a subtle expression of Liwen Knight.

Two men stared wide-eyed in the room.

After a few minutes, Major Ron rubbed his chin and said:

"Well, frankly, I don't understand or understand, but I'm blown away. Fraser, Trancia is really a hell of a place, isn't it?

Not only are the men mad here, but even the women are so wild, and your little henchman, Miss Becky, is undoubtedly influenced by their deviant ideas.

For the sake of family inheritance, I think you should hurry up and bring Miss Pinkie back, it's a shame to stay like this any longer. ”

"You're going to let me kidnap his favorite little granddaughter right under the noses of the Nantes Ranger, the Grail Knight, and the Crimson Tribune?"

Fraser said quietly:

"Do you think the two of us have just started our lives too boring, so you're going to make yourself more intense?

My silver guard told me that the four of them together could not be a match for Lord Kudell, that the legendary knight's strength had broken through again and was infinitely close to the Golden Rank, and he only needed to cross a hurdle to reach the pinnacle of that power.

What's more, there is also a psionic master in the Crimson Keep. ”

"So what's going on?"

Major Ron spread his hands helplessly and complained:

"You're a boiled duck with wings and flying, and the swans you want to catch won't pay attention to you, and you'll be alone if you go on like this."

"Hey, I'm only thirty years old, I'm still very young."

Fraser gritted his teeth and got up.

Walking to the window and looking out the window at the Crimson Keep in the early morning light, he reached out and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, his mind reverberating with the anger and helplessness of the night Miriam telling him to get out.

It was the first time he had been treated like this by a woman since he was a child.

Very good!

Woman! You have successfully attracted my attention, sir, I am on the bar with you!

"Pack up and get ready to talk to Governor Murphy, although the private affairs are not going well, but the official affairs cannot be delayed."

Fraser took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He tried to regain his former shrewdness and ability, and turned back to Ron and said:

"Today we must settle the matter of the location and the distribution of duties, and, if we can, we will make a series of mutual assistance agreements with Governor Murphy"

"Well, I know I shouldn't talk about it at this time, but have you considered that it's likely that these agreements will not be negotiated with us by Governor Murphy?"

Major Ron whispered:

"Archon Miriam is the one who is really in charge, which means that you are going to have a war of words with the woman who humiliated you last night.

Can you really do it? ”

"Of course I can!"

Fraser, with his shoulders moving like an aggressive lion, and with a certain glint in his eyes, said:

"I'm full of fighting spirit right now."

——

"Tut-tut, I like this kind of story development, what about you?"

In the Vulture Corridor's office, Murphy leans back in his chair and embraces Grand Duke Tris.

The core orb in front of the two of them projected Colonel Frazier's angry appearance, and in their hands was a bucket of "caramel popcorn" that had just been developed by Chef Star Soul Eagle.

This posture is very similar to an old husband and wife who are chasing dramas.

Faced with Murphy's inquiry, Tracey rolled her eyes, pinched the popcorn from her hand and threw it into her mouth, saying:

"Indeed, this is much more interesting than the traditional scene of Prince Charming meeting Cinderella, alas, Skanderbeg's grandson is actually considered to be the outstanding category in aristocratic circles, but it is a pity that he met Miriam, a 'modern independent woman' who does not play cards according to common sense.

I have to admit that when it comes to personality tuning, my little Murphy is a genius."

"I'm ashamed to be ashamed that I only played a minor role in this."

Murphy hugged his girlfriend in his arms and said very modestly:

"The main thing is that Miriam has a good foundation.

You know, during her three years at the University of Chardon, she didn't waste her time studying things that she wasn't interested in.

Knowledge!

Only knowledge can arm strong hearts and give the spirit a minimum of dignity, and how can the foolish not even understand the meaning of independent personality to maintain their last dignity?

After all, those who only splash and roll around and like to provoke conflicts out of nothing can't be called independent women. ”
