The bedroom, which is dark and elegant, is illuminated by crystal chandeliers.

A large carved wooden bed sits in the center of the room, flanked by an intricately patterned ceramic vase with fragrant flowers.

In the corner of the room are two curved sofas, with a low round oak table in the middle.

Rogers sat obediently on the couch, staring at the various crystal ornaments on the low table in front of him.

On the sofa opposite him sat his parents, the Earl and the Earl of Breed.

It had been a long, long time since Rogers had been in his parents' bedroom, and for as long as he could remember, he had been served and cared for by Hans, surrounded by all kinds of governesses he had brought in.

In the past, his father and mother were always busy, busy with all kinds of territorial governance and noble banquets, and there was not much time to take care of him.

Lady Brad, dressed in a nightdress, got up and slowly moved to Rogess's side, she did not have the same pure silver hair as Rogers and Earl Breed, and her hair color tended to be silver gray.

She looked at Rogus with gentle eyes that contained countless loves, reaching out and gently stroking Rogers's hair, and a soft sigh unconsciously came out of her mouth.

"I've heard your father talk about your things and plans...... Child, is it because we insisted on sending you to St. Herte that this is the result? ”

Mrs. Breed's voice was low, with a deep sense of loss and helplessness, and every word exuded exhaustion that could not be concealed.

"Mother, I ......"

Rogers looked up and looked sideways, he was the best at words, but when he saw his mother's heavy look and the faint sadness in the corners of his eyes, he didn't know what to say for a while.

He had thought that he was here to discuss the events related to the Captain of the Knights of the Guard, Rekus, or to discuss the development of some future territories or something.

But Mrs. Breed's posture was one of sheer concern for the future of her child, and there was nothing superfluous in it.

After a little silence, Rogers replied frankly:

"I would have been in a similar situation even if I had not entered St. Herte, and I am grateful to you and my father for sending me to St. Herte, for these two years of study have been very fulfilling and have helped me better understand my own path."

Later, he gradually understood that the gods of the bottomless pit had paid attention to him since he sacrificed the Kaiwen to the honest merchants of the bottomless pit, and as long as he showed his talent beyond ordinary people, the gods would not easily let him go as a high-quality agent.

Moreover, the small artifact of St. Herte's magic book is also extremely helpful to him, and he has only obtained countless benefits, without hard drawbacks.

"What about Aliana Devon? What will she do? ”

Earl Brad clasped his hands together, rested his elbows on his knees, leaned forward to look at Rogers, and asked aloud.

He didn't show much sadness like his wife, but just asked lightly about Rogers' plans for the future.

"She should continue to follow me, so I'll have to worry about Earl Devon on my side."

Rogers' head was pressed between his mother's chest, and without much thought, he muffled back to Earl Breed.

"Next time...... Will you ever go home? ”

Hearing Rogers' crisp answer, Count Breed seemed to grasp something in his heart, and the look on his face was slightly stunned for a moment, and his voice gradually lowered to continue to ask.

Lady Breed also hugged Rogers tighter when she heard this, and her body trembled faintly.

After a long silence, Rogers let out a soft "should" sound.

"No matter what you do, Mother will always be with you."

Mrs. Breed slowly let go of her arm and reached for Rogers's cheek, her eyes tingling with a little wetness, promising her son in firm words.

Immediately, Count Bred also sat down next to Rogers, put his hand on Rogers' head, and asked with a smile if he would complain that he often locked his childhood Rogers in the stargazing tower.

Mrs. Breed was on the side to help recount how naughty Rogers was when he was a child, and how many times Earl Breed was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

There is no analysis of the current political situation, no planning for future development, and no so-called achievements and glory among the family.

Some just made the slightly vague memories of the past gradually become clearer, and Rogers's face, for the first time since awakening the memories of his previous life, also showed undisguised openness.

He felt guilty about his past plays, but he was also quite righteous about certain things, so that the Count almost wanted to roll up his sleeves and tell his son to experience Breed's manners as usual.

Mrs. Breed watched the two fight, and the sorrow on her face gradually replaced by relief.

It wasn't until late at night that Rogers hugged his father and mother and left his parents' bedroom with a relaxed pace.

He walked slowly in the corridor, and soon subconsciously stopped, staring at the bright starry sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes gradually frozen, and the original playful expression on his face gradually faded, replaced by a calm and faint sigh.

"Young Master......"

Hans, who was accompanying Rogers, saw Rogers stop for a long time, stunned, and called out softly.

"I'm fine." Rogers slowly came back to his senses, turned his head to Hans and smiled slightly, and then asked, "Hans, how many years have you been with me?" ”

"On your third birthday, I began to accompany you on the orders of Lord Earl Breed, and it has been more than twelve years." Hans leaned over and replied solemnly.

"I'm sorry for you."

Rogers reached out and patted Hans on the shoulder, he wanted to sigh to Hans that the other party should continue to serve his brother or sister, but he was afraid that this would startle the other party, so he still didn't say anything.

"You wanted to pat me on the shoulder, you had to tiptoe on your way to St. Herte, and now it's so easy."

Hans sighed as he looked at Rogers' face as if he was reminiscing about the past.

Rogers shook his head slightly, shook off his complicated thoughts, and walked quickly towards his bedroom, and Hans also returned to his residence at Rogers's orders.

"The fastest and slowest in the world, the longest and shortest, the most mundane and the most precious, the most neglected and the most regrettable, is time."

He muttered Gorky's verses as he pushed open the door to his bedroom, ready to bury his mind with a good night's sleep.

Just closed the door and when he stepped into the bedroom, a strange atmosphere pulled him back to the moment in an instant.

"Guys, this is ...... What's wrong? ”

Rogers looked at Alina and Alice, who had finished washing up, had changed into pajamas, and sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at him in a daze, and a strange feeling slowly rose from his spinal cord.

It felt as if his prey had encountered a predator, and his instinct for self-defense made him unconsciously need to be vigilant.

Under the blinding gaze of the two girls, without waiting for their response, he moved his steps, slowly opened the door of the bathroom and went inside.

While enjoying the hot water dripping from the top of his head, the warm liquid flowing down his body, bringing a sense of comfort and relaxation, he couldn't help but recall the expressions of the two of them in his mind, and the weirdness became higher and higher.

"What the hell ......?"

After a simple towel wipe and a magic drying of his body, and changing into cotton short-sleeves and shorts, he stepped out of the bathroom and looked at the girls who were staring at him stunned again.

"Why are you so weird, don't you sleep? With the skyrocketing economy, in the next few days, I will not only help my father sort out the planning of the governance body, but also make some adjustments according to the feedback from the trial operation of the magic network, as well as the affairs of the magic community.

"But it won't last for a few days, so I'll have to go to the cultists to complete the rituals about the timing, and in the middle of it, I have to prepare for the Wind Catastrophe in advance, and by the way, see if I can dig up what the dark creatures have plans for me or something.

"Time is getting tighter and there are more things to do, so take the time to rest and don't know how long it will take to be as comfortable as you are now."

Rogers climbed lightly onto the soft bed, keeping enough distance from Alina and Alice, and admonished in a serious tone.

"Rogers, you, that, you...... And Alina, have you ever done anything like that? ”

Alice didn't know how to weigh her words, her tone was hesitant, stammering, intermittent, and her voice was distinctly hesitant.

As he spoke, his face flushed with a shy crimson, and his slightly lowered eyes revealed a kind of shyness, like a budding flower.

"Huh?"

Rogers reached out and scratched his hair, trying to sort out the inexplicable situation, speaking in a confused and inexplicable tone.

Then he turned his gaze to Alina and asked tentatively, "Did you talk nonsense to her?" ”

"So...... So! That's not there yet, right?! The tension on Alice's face suddenly subsided, and her eyebrows were raised, as if moved by the sudden good news, expressing the joy and excitement in her heart.

"What?" Rogers frowned and continued to show his doubts.

"Nothing." Alina replied lightly, and she went straight to Rogth's side, shielded Alice, and reached out to pull the thin quilt to sleep.

At this time, there was a little regret in her heart, and not long ago, because of Alice's provocation, she was too angry to say something that should not have been said.

It was precisely because of that question that it seemed to have flipped a switch on Alice, which made the other party's danger soar a lot in an instant.

"You have a perk that can devour power, right? If there is no limit, in fact, it can be stored by absorbing my power. ”

Alice ignored Alina's small movements, her eyes swept over the annoying fellow, and looked at Rogers solemnly proposing.

Rogers, who was about to lie down, subconsciously sat up straight, Alice's proposal was really good, the more strength there was, the better, he used to focus on himself, but he didn't think about asking for it from the people around him.

Alice has a lot of perks that help with recovery, so it can be used as a good power bank.

However, as soon as he sat up, Alina stretched out her palm and pressed him back: "Didn't you say that there would be no leisure for a long time to come?" It's not too late to talk about this kind of thing tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to try it first."

Rogers brushed Alina's hand away and tried to sit up again, but was pushed down on the mattress as he could sit up.

Then Alina turned to look at Alice and asked in a cold tone, "You should want to do more than this, right?" ”

"Yes!" Alice replied confidently, "I want to exchange, to exchange my strength for a benefit, such as letting me taste it...... No, just let me do what you did to Rutgers, but I'm sure I'll be gentle and won't hurt. ”

"Huh?!" Rogers craned his neck and looked at Alice, whose eyes wandered, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her face had turned as bright red as the sunset on the horizon.

"That's right! That's it! ”

Alice's hands stirred the hem of her skirt, trying to adjust her mood with deep breaths, and said in a firm voice.

After Rogus faked her death, she was no longer able to find Rogers at any time as she did in St. Herthe, while Alina was given more time together.

Time was of the essence for Rutgers, but for her, it was even more important than Rutgers.

There was no more time for her to squirm and hesitate anymore, and she had to let go of a lot of things to fight for what she should have fought for.

"Uh, this ......"

Before Rogers finished speaking, Alina's palm tightly covered his mouth, and then stared at Alice and sneered: "I didn't expect that the noble saintess is actually an existence that likes to please the noble young master. ”

"If I'm a pleaser, then what about you! You didn't even get Rutgers' consent, did you?! You're more of that than I am...... That's what! ”

Alice could not utter any foul words in her mouth, but pointed at Alina angrily and made a loud accusation.

"We are an unmarried couple, what does it matter if we are intimate?" There was a hint of disdain in Alina's cold tone, but the defensiveness on her face became more and more intense.

"Not right away! Wrong! You haven't had a ceremony yet! Take your hands off Rutgers's mouth! ”

Alice's face lit up with fighting spirit, and she shifted her position and grabbed Alina's arm.

At first, Rogers just wanted to ask Alice what had just happened, but Alina didn't give him a chance to speak.

He struggled to get up to his feet from the two of them who were gradually pressing on him and began to make noise, and the pressure from his abdomen and chest made his breathing a little uncomfortable.

Struggling for a while, he collapsed helplessly on the bed, thinking about why the lovely Rufia was not there, and at the same time he spoke weakly:

"It's so heavy, don't press me to make trouble......"
