Verse 240 note

Ashrufat knew early on that the two sisters had studied the dark arts.

All the books about dark magic speak of the evil and depravity of this magic, but even the church itself has to admit that it does have the power to keep people young and even cure diseases. This is one of the reasons why even if the church vigorously purge it, the black mages still kill them endlessly. Of course, this problem has now been completely solved. Because almost all the black mages have gone to Sivania by all means, this has made it impossible for the area under the control of the church to have no black mage activity - and even if there is, it is of the type of "passing by accidentally".

Although the two sisters' research on dark arts is completely independent, the nature of dark magic still brings some changes in their appearance, that is, they look much younger than their actual age. Of course, there is no fixed connection between human appearance and chronological age, and it is reasonable to say that a thirty-year-old woman looks like a teenager, at least for now. And Ashrufat doesn't want anyone to think too much about it at all.

"Hmph, things are never as simple as you think, full of love, kindness and kindness. Rhodia said.

"Why not?"

"Don't you know your aunt now...... Is Countess Marianne a woman of skill and scheming? You should have asked her about all the things she had done in the Falcon City. Rhodia sighed again, "Forget it, you don't think you will believe what I say now." But sooner or later you'll know the facts, and hopefully it's time then. ”

"Just in time?"

"Don't you notice that there are a lot of foreign guests in our city? If nothing else, even the little Grufiz from before has returned. Don't tell you that you don't know about it, and don't say you can't see what they're trying to do...... Ha ha...... I want to tell you that not everything has a chance to regret it. A woman's heart does not stay on a man forever...... It doesn't matter what that man is like!"

"Let's not discuss this ......"

"None of the seeds!" Rotea snorted.

"You're going too far......" In any case, when someone said this, Ashrufat also felt that he really couldn't get off the stage.

"Don't dare to face your own guy! It's polite to say that you didn't have a seed!"

"You're drunk. Ashrufat found himself in no mood to talk at all. He already knew what he wanted to know...... If this matter is only about the private lives of Belle and Rothea, then no one has the right to interfere.

"I'm not drunk!" Rhodia sat up suddenly. This time, she really showed her courage as the queen of the underworld of Eagle Falcon City. "Can you answer my question? You chose the little queen for what, for fame, for profit? You know very well that you are not for this. As long as you have the slightest thought of that in your head, you won't do that to the city of Fornoros! I'm not blaming you, I'm just ......."

"If I have to say it, maybe it was just that night, that moment, her expression touched me. Ashruphat finally replied. So I pledged to serve her. ”

"Anyway, it made you tempted?!"

"It's not the same thing as the lust of men and women, you know!"

"In my opinion, it's the same thing. And, if not in the past, it is now. She's already in love with you, whether you deny it, whether you pretend to ignore it, in short, something has happened. It happened whether you agreed or not, whether you liked it or not. Do you remember the night you said those things to her, and then what did you see?"

"I didn't see anything. ”

"You're just pretending!" Rothea burped dismissively. "If you see the tears in her eyes, you understand...... She's not a kid who doesn't understand anything anymore. Actually, you know, it's just that you're afraid. ”

"I ...... What is there to be afraid of?" Ashrufat suddenly found that his defense was far less powerful than he had expected, his voice was not loud, and he was a little too cowering compared to Rhodia's imposing words. But why did he do this? Even he couldn't figure it out.

"You're afraid that one day you'll be overwhelmed!" Rothea said. Suddenly, like a deflated ball, she was on the table. "It's the same as I am now. ”

She looked up again and saw the confusion in Ashrufat's eyes. He didn't understand what was going on on Rhodia's side.

"You mean...... General Beller?" Eshurufat asked tentatively.

"Well, I can still control myself now, and I can still go to see him with a joke. But I know it's playing with fire. One day, when he says he wants to leave, I will be reluctant, I will beg him to stay, I will shed tears!" "Haha...... What am I doing? I'm being coquettish to him like all those stupid women...... Hope to get his attention. %¥##@," she spat out a vulgar curse word, "It's really not like me at all!"

"General Bayrell ......," Ashrufat asked. "Is it that good?"

Bayor's wisdom and insight are indeed admirable, and his status and reputation are indeed not in vain. But from a woman's point of view, Bayor's appearance is really too ordinary, and he is too old, and he is no longer the type that modern aristocratic women admire.

"Well, that's how interesting it is. I just wanted to extort a sum of money from him, but he calculated it in turn. I hit him hard...... Let his eggs hurt for a few days......" Rodia said. "But it just seemed to happen naturally. Wait until I come back to my senses, when I realize that I'm a little out of sorts...... Oh, you see, I'm drinking right here. ”

"Why do you drink?"

"Because I'm thinking about a strict question, a very strict question...... Should I regret it, or should I not regret it?"

"The book says that it is better to regret than not to regret it. ”

The book also says that power is the ultimate pursuit of all men. Rhodia replied dismissively. "Books on books, reality is not the same thing. ”

"I say, Rhodia, General Beller will have formal consultations with the Queen tomorrow, and will leave Eagle Falcon City the day after tomorrow. He told me about the strategy, and this war is likely to be a long-term delaying war. Of course, it may turn into a short-term battle, but if that happens, it will be very disadvantageous. And if the war is over, there is a high probability that he will not return to Eagle Falcon City. ”

"Huh...... That's how it is. He was a glimpse of my life. Rhodia laughed, but hysterically. "The identity, status, environment, education, and ...... of both parties The difference is really too big, it seems that I can't even find a little match. But you, he's the only one of all the people I've ever seen who can tolerate me. You know, I came to the door and asked him for something...... It's a thing that doesn't have a reason, it's just an excuse, and he actually gave it to me...... Hahahaha...... Fate is really cruel......"

She was lying on the table again, and by the time she lifted her slightly hazy eyes, Ashruphat had already left.

"What a boring man...... That little girl...... Hey......" she sighed. Then he shook the bottle and found that he had drunk all the bottles.

"Tomorrow is going to be business...... I'm leaving the day after tomorrow...... And nine times out of ten, there will be no return. She repeated what Ashrufat had just said. These were no secrets for a long time, she had known them for a long time.

"Well, instead of doing nothing and regretting it, it's better to regret it after doing it!" Rothea laughed suddenly. In a person's room, it looks particularly weird.

As Aeshurufar left Flower Street, in another part of the Falcon City, Bayral welcomed a third guest.

Relying on Robin's reminder, Bayrell had already wiped away all traces of possible leaks from his face. So at this time, he was sitting on the back of his face, and had a cordial and friendly discussion with the guests in front of him.

That guest was none other than little Grufiz. According to a human-world tradition, he and his brother were given the same name "Grufitz" by their parents. Others, in order to distinguish the two of them, added a "little" word in front of their brother's name. This wasn't the first time Grufiz had been to Eagle City, the last time he had been here as a diplomatic envoy, and this time he had a different identity. If you remember, he had been made Earl of Gruney under Byron's operation, and became the lord of the Yulan region. It wasn't a hereditary title, but it was enough to put him in the highest-ranking group of the Upper Gruny. This is even more evident at a time when the queen is on a rampant crusade against rebellion.

He had come to see Béral, more on behalf of his brother, the Grand Duke of the nascent Grand Duchy. Then again, he had a good reason to meet Beller. Many people know that Bayer had a great influence on Tiberius's national policy. And Bayer also has a lot of interest in Grufiz Jr. Although the territory of the two countries does not share a border, there are too many secrets hidden behind the success of the Belu people's independence. And Bayer was quite concerned about the secret.

Their conversation began with a normal polite greeting, and then began to diverge in a dizzying high-speed change. Both of them carefully control the content of their words on the one hand, and on the other hand, they try to find the information they need from the other person's words. It's a tacit game. And both sides are experienced players.

Just as the game was in full swing, Robin pushed the door and entered. "Your Excellency, someone has sent a letter. He said. He then handed a note to Beller.

The slip of paper had a simple time and place written on it, and there was also a signature on it. The strip of paper is sprinkled with perfume, giving off a faint aroma.

“...... At night...... Rhodia ...... See you or leave you. "Bayral saw a couple of keywords at a glance. He didn't look closely, but folded the note and stuffed it into his pocket. Bayral then made a gesture, and Robin immediately exited the room, and Bayral began to continue the conversation as if nothing had happened.
