Chapter 121: "Loyal Ministers" (I)

Enjoying the girl's sweet red lips, Theodore involuntarily stretched out his hands to hold up the narrow fragrant shoulders, gently stroked it, and slowly walked towards her back.

Helena's delicate body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her soft and boneless arms slowly raised, her waist straightened, she wanted to resist but didn't know what to do, how could her blocked mouth speak?

Theodore, who felt the trembling of the body of the girl in his arms, did not stop, but made his heart throb, as if a raging fire had been ignited. Because she was in her room, Helena did not wear her own formal dress, but a tunic red dress, which closely hugged her delicate body and perfectly presented the proud curves of her maturing body. The bulging fruit on his chest clung to Theodore's chest, elastic and soft.

Theodore ...... No, it's still daytime......" The girl, who hadn't realized what she had done until now, blushed and showed a hint of horror. She didn't dare to imagine what she would say about herself if others saw such a scene?

"What about the daytime...... Theodore looked at the delicate little princess in his arms with slightly narrow eyes, but his hands had already climbed to the arched waist, and the corners of his mouth were proudly raised: "My dear Majesty, who started first? I don't think you can lie?"

"But I'm still wondering, when did our little princess become so smart?" Theodore laughed and lightly bumped his forehead against Helena: "Who told you the news of Aaron's accident in the Far North Ice Field, I think we should reward him well!"

"Couldn't it be that I thought of it myself?" the puffing Helena pursed her lips again, but suddenly exclaimedβ€”Theodore's right hand had climbed up from her lower abdomen, and the ashamed and frightened Helena quickly pressed his palm and looked at the obsidian-like eyes as if pleading...... ...... in the evening"

"It depends on whether you tell the truth or not. My little princess. Theodore smiled proudly, he knew that Helena had reached the limit of what she could bear, and if she continued like this, she might be angry, so she quickly let go, but she was still "unrelenting" and "threatened" for two sentences before she would give up.

"Sir Ludwig Ahart. Helena breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "Bran left him behind to be my Imperial Advisor when he left, he is a very capable gentleman." ”

"Ludwig......" Theodore whispered to himself, and the black-robed knight, accustomed to calling himself "below," appeared in his mind. There is no doubt that this man has unimaginable loyalty to Bran, and any action he makes should be a gesture from Bran. Or in Bran's favor.

"I know you don't have a very good impression of him, but he's just a little too gloomy, and he swore to me. Seeing Theodore's silent expression, Helena explained with some concern, and said tentatively, "You should not be suspicious...... Bran, huh?"

"Duke Larria, oh of course not!" Diodore smiled and waved his hand, "I have just appointed him governor of the four provinces in the southeast, how can I doubt him?" ”

And, most crucially. Speaking of this, Theodore couldn't help but feel a little surprised, stroked Helena's little head and said softly: "In this world." You are the least likely person for him to betray or hurt. He left you the most trusted Ludwig, and that's proof of the best. ”

"I think so, how could little Bran hurt me?!" Helena smirked again. He raised his forehead and hugged his arm: "He's my little brother." ”

"Little brother......" Theodore suddenly felt much more comfortable, remembering Bran's time in Severcro, and said with a tangled face, "She just treats me like her own brother, not an Elfwan". The sour feelings that were originally felt before this little duke and Helena completely disappeared without a trace. With a long sigh, he got up from his chair and walked towards the door of the room.

"What are you going to do?" asked Helena, tilting her little head curiously, "Is it the Imperial Council?" But the girl was still in high spirits.

"No, go to the temple and pray to Juno!" Diodore replied with a sly smile, and left with a smile as the girl blushed all at once.

"Salute to you, Your Majesty. Ludwig, who had been guarding the door early, was like a shadow, and even if he stood there, people could not notice his presence, and humbly bowed his head.

"Don't think that because Bran Elfwan is here, I won't dare kill you. Theodore didn't even look at him, and straightened his shirt with his back to Ludwig: "Don't do this a second time." Helena is very simple, but that doesn't mean you can deceive her, you can be smart!"

"All is at your will, Your Majesty. Ludwig bent deeply: "We are all your loyal courtiers, you need not doubt that." ”

"I have no doubts. Theodore's voice was cold, "If I doubt it, do you think you have a chance to stand here and tell me a whole bunch of nonsense, Ludwig Ahart?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Ludwig smiled slightly, as if he had returned to the world of shadows, and disappeared without a trace.

Foreign Minister Virgil used to handle his work from the rooms of the Senate, but few people know that the Senate actually had a private estate around Caesarea. The simple design, the cleanliness of the house, and the fact that he did almost everything himself, Virgil liked to talk to the merchants, the presidents of the guilds, or some aristocracy trying to get along, which gave him more confidence and a kind of inner influence of "this is my territory".

"You did it on purpose. Although the weather has not completely turned cold, but there is an incomparably comfortable coolness in the golden hours after the midsummer has passed, Virgil's face seems to be frosty, and he still looks at Ludwig, who is not at all conscious of being a guest, and the corners of his mouth still show a smile: "Don't ask me anything, you know very well." ”

"Yes, that's clear, but that doesn't mean you have to do what you say, Lord Virgil. Ludwig raised his glass, shook it in front of his nose, and smiled with satisfaction: "This is this year's new wine, and I can still faintly smell the summer sunshine below." ”

"It would break my heart if you thought so, Ludwig. A little annoyed, Virgil regained his former elegance: "I thought we had reached some kind of tacit understanding between us without saying much, just like this wine." ”

"Please be clear, Lord Virgil, there is no need for such a tacit understanding between you and you, as you say, that kind of unspeakable tacit understanding. Ludwig quietly put the cup down: "You want to borrow me to tell Her Majesty the Empress Aaron's news, and it must be the Knights of the Dawn who got the order to go north, because Your Majesty Helena can't trust others." ”

"I'm sure you must know who is in the Knights of the Order, and when he is ordered to go north, he learns that he is admonishing Her Majesty the Empress, and you will get some hint that it was Ludwig Achart who gave him the task. Ludwig smiled: "What a tacit understanding, in this way, the death of Duke Mistmaik has become the responsibility of the subordinates!"

"So, you're going to stop me?" Virgil smiled serenely, "I thought we must have a common goal in this regard - for Rome." ”

"But, unlike you, it seems to me that Duke Aaron Brennus is better for the empire to live, and that such a knight should not die so dishonorably. Ludwig said slowly: "The most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor and I have the same opinion. ”

"You've put yourself in the shadows for too long, Lord Virgil. Ludwig whispered: "It's been a long time, and you're about to forget who the master of this empire really isβ€”maybe you haven't forgotten, you just feel that everything you do is for him, but please don't forget, the emperor doesn't need a minister who makes decisions for himself!"

"You say it beautifully, Sir Ludwig Ahart, you ought to study eloquence and rhetoric, and perhaps in the future you will be regarded as a master. Virgil smiled disapprovingly and said, "In my opinion, the reason why you are doing this is because it may be detrimental to Duke Bran Elfwan. ”

"Under never denies this. Ludwig nodded. Once he is suspected, then it will definitely affect the existence of Bran Elfwan in Theodore's heart, even if Theodore still needs Bran to serve him now, and one day he will definitely avenge Aaron - as long as there is the slightest possibility of this, Ludwig will do his best to prevent it from appearing: "That is also the mission below." ”

But that's not really the reason. Ludwig smiled: "I once swore to Her Majesty Queen Helena that I would never hurt my friends and never aim my sword at the people around me." ”

"As a knight, you should keep your oath, don't you?"
