"No, you have to force her to stay, it will only increase the likelihood of an alliance. And," Carrie replied. "It's a bit inappropriate to say that, but this castle should also have a hostess. ”

"Don't get me wrong, master, it's just because of the need for management. Carrie explained in a serious manner. "If you add the ones sent by the Hama clan, there are already more than ten girls in your castle. It can now be dealt with in semi-captivity for the time being, but if there are more...... There must be a need for a manager. I'm sure you don't have time to care about your harem. ”

"......" Ashrufat didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"So, there has to be a manager. A man who has access to some of the resources in the castle to manage these girls. And, in my vision, the ruling order you have established would better exist apart from you. This means that you are free to leave Sivania and do something else. If you're going to make this happen, you need someone who can be ethically replaced. What could be more suitable than a wife?"

"I'm not in the mood to make such a joke. ”

"It's not a joke...... Well, you'll get the hang out later. Carrie didn't insist. "However, I don't think you're upset because of military pressure. Is it because of the girl named Leia? Master, I've never seen you so nervous?"

Ashrufat didn't speak, but his silence itself was a tacit acquiescence to Carrie's words.

"Well, but since you can't think effectively, you might as well take a break. Carrie suggested.

Ashrufat didn't need sleep a long time ago, but "not needing" doesn't mean "can't". Now, as long as he lies still in bed, he can quickly fall into a light sleep. This kind of sleep is relatively light, and it is easy to be woken up by a slight sound from the outside, but it can have a good rest effect, and at the same time, it can calm the mood.

If there is any difference from the past, the biggest thing is that he can no longer dream. It was not clear whether it was a curse or a blessing, but no matter how he fell asleep or where he slept, he could no longer dream.

The castle (if it could be called a "castle") looks unattainable from the outside, but inside it is only three or four floors, each of which is much larger than the cross-section of the castle. Carrie said that it was a "spatial art", but Ashrufat didn't understand what it meant, and could only roughly guess that it was some kind of magical effect. In fact, he didn't even bother with the castle, and he didn't care much about it. The entire castle was renovated and renovated by Carrie. Even the decorations in the hall, he was only responsible for transporting them. It must be said that Carrie's methods are ingenious and incredible, and the interior of this castle looks no different from the interior of an ordinary stone castle, and even Ashrufat himself cannot see it. Was this really the inside of the "spaceship" made of some unknown metal that he had observed all the way that day?

He walked from his study to his bedroom. Carrie says that this place can be his "home", but in fact he doesn't feel "home" at all. Although the castle can almost be scored out of the perfect in terms of environment and interior, it is a feeling of emptiness to sit in this castle with few people.

Ashrufat wanted to empty his mind and get a good night's sleep without thinking about anything. I don't know what Lu Dao is, but as he walked, he couldn't help but think of the young girl fortune teller today.

Yes, she is a soothsayer, she knows her future destiny and knows who she should turn to for help. But that feeling is like...... And that kiss......

The meaning is obvious. Then again, when did you become like a businessman? Whoever is willing to make a deal with him? The last deal was to exchange dark knowledge for the help of those dark magicians...... The last deal was made with Neil and the others, and the next deal......

Anyway, wasn't his original intention to come here to make a deal with Pinold......?

His bedroom was a remote room, and he chose it because he didn't feel he needed a particularly large bedroom. There was a faint glow in the room at the moment, but even the most meticulous person could not find out where the source of this light was.

Ashruphat walked to his bed. Compared to the room itself, his bed was very large, taking up two-thirds of the room, and the bed was luxuriously laid out and neat. But it didn't mean much to him, because he was already used to the traveling life of eating and sleeping in the open, and even if the room was empty, he could rest in the corner.

Ashrufat's hand touched his quilt, and suddenly he realized that something was different. The next moment, he jumped to his feet and looked warily at his bed.

In the middle of the bed, there was a huge bulge, and at a glance you could see that there was a person hidden in the middle of the quilt. He was so distracted by what he thought about just now that he didn't notice when he entered the room.

"Mimilu?" Ashruphat snapped back from his initial shock. It is absolutely impossible for an assassin to hide in such an obvious place, and Scarlet would not make such a joke at all, and it could only be Mimilu inside the quilt.

"Come out, Mimilu, I see you. Absentmindedly, Ashrufat grabbed one of the corners of the quilt and lifted it with all his might. But it wasn't Mimilu lying in the middle of the quilt, but someone he hadn't thought of. Someone who shouldn't be there in theory.

"Léa. Ashrufat was slightly stunned. You must know that Léa is blind, and her eyes may be able to see the fate of the future, but she cannot see a single step under her feet. If it can be explained by "luck" that Léa was there to find him around, it was a "miracle" that Léa actually came to his bedroom first.

Moreover, didn't he ask Scarlet to send the young soothsayer back to her room?

Leia propped herself up half of her arms and looked at him with her large, godless eyes. It was an indescribable pitiness. He originally had an urge to question sharply in his heart and scare the other party, but after seeing Leia's expression at this moment, this impulse immediately disappeared.

"What are you doing here, Léa?" asked Eshurufat. "I remember to let you go back and rest first. ”

The maiden soothsayer did not answer, but simply faced the other person. Ashrufat felt her body tremble slightly, but this time it wasn't from the cold.

"Are you afraid? afraid that I will refuse your request, or am you afraid of me? Don't be afraid of anything, and don't ...... in this way"

"Wait a minute!" said Leia eagerly. "Tonight......" her face felt like fire at some point. "I ...... I...... I can...... Do you want to stay?"

"If you like my bed, you can sleep here tonight. I can find another place. ”

Lhea shook her head. She reached out a hand and fumbled and grabbed Ashrufat's clothes, clutching them tightly.

"Tonight, let me stay...... Is that okay?" she said, with a look that bordered on pleading.

"Why do you want to do this? Ashrufat asked, puzzled.

"I ...... I was a long time ago...... The last time I did a divination for you...... I saw ......" Léa mustered all her courage. Grandma said that the words must be clear, because men are generally stupid enough to understand your hints at all. Their calmness and wisdom are used in those unbounded places, not to communicate with a woman. "I ...... I...... will be your ...... Wife!"

"I'm a vampire...... Do you know what vampire means? I do drink human blood, it's not a lie or a legend. ”

"I ...... I don't care!" Suddenly, she was a little excited. "I ...... See that we're going to be together! Believe it or not, I just see it. I'm not lying...... But, however, that's all I know. Her voice lowered. "I don't know what you're going to do to me, I don't know if you're gentle or rough...... I wonder if you're going to hurt me...... But I'm looking forward to seeing you again......"

She lowered her head and said these words, taking almost more courage than she could now.

"Yes...... Hold me?" she finally mustered up the last courage. Grandma said that no man will refuse such a request, whether he loves you or not.

However, the other party did not act as she expected. She could feel the other person's body not moving.

"Am I ...... Looks ...... Ugly?" she asked cautiously. "Don't you like it?"

"No, you're cute. Pretty and cute. Ashrufat replied. Then, she felt the other person hug her, not with a hard hug, but with a gentle arm around her shoulder. Following his strength, she lay down and found herself resting her head on the other's lap. It's actually a good feeling, because she used to sleep with her head resting on her grandmother's lap. Sticking to his lap and feeling the other party's body temperature, for some reason all the uneasiness and fear in my heart disappeared.

"I know you must be tired from a long journey. She felt a hand gently caress her long hair. "Tonight, get some rest. ”

The hand gently smoothed her long hair. And she enjoyed the caress of that hand, and after a brief lull, all the accumulated tiredness suddenly came together. She closed her eyes.

"Master, it seems that the situation is much better than what I planned. Carrie said suddenly in her mind. "Based on my simple analysis of her, she really likes you. ”

She was just upset, so she was looking for someone to protect her. Ashrufat leaned back. Leia rested on his lap, afraid he wouldn't be able to fall asleep in the position he was used to. "She was just longing for something, and I was just the one she was looking forward to. ”

But it's also a form of love. Carrie replied. "It doesn't matter if you deny it or not. ”
