Section 205 Position

Ashruphat fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

Perhaps she didn't think it was good to keep the candles lit all the time - because it would allow people outside to see the lights inside through the windows, so Rhodia blew out the candles.

"You've been trying to change that little girl. After a long time, Rhodia spoke first.

"Well, that's my promise. Ashrufat replied. He has finally determined one thing now, a very important thing, that is, although Rhodia was introduced by him, but now Rhodia's position has stood with the little girl, and it is very firm. Is it because they have been together for a long time, so they have developed special feelings, or is it that women and women always have more common language?

"What kind of commitment, let her learn how to be a queen?"

"That's right. ”

"Hmph, I know that you are such a man. It's awkward to the extreme!" Rhodia snorted. "Obviously, you want to educate that little girl to be like that, but if you really become like that, you feel uncomfortable again. ”

"People are always contradictory. Besides, if she becomes a true queen, then I don't just retire?"

"Thankfully, you don't have to contradict it. The little girl hadn't changed at all, and she was still as innocent as the first time I saw her. Rhodia sighed. "I'm afraid she'll never be what you want her to be. She said in the dark.

Rhodia may have felt that it was dark all around, and her facial expressions at this moment would not be seen by anyone, but Ashrufat had the ability to see a needle in any darkness. So he could clearly see the expression of the woman in front of him. Perhaps at this moment, the expression in the dark really expresses this woman's heart.

"What do you mean by 'retirement' and do you want to leave?"

"It's not appropriate to say that......"

"Hmph, don't lie to me. Don't look at me as just an ordinary woman, but my senses are very acute. You are not an ordinary person. ”

"Oh, and who am I?"

"If you want me to say that...... Adventurer. Rhodia said. "Yes, adventurer. But not the kind of person who chooses this profession in order to get rich, but because that's what you are. You want to be thrilled and satisfied by taking risks. She thought for a moment that the analogy wasn't very appropriate, but for a moment she couldn't tell what was not right. "In a sense, you and Ah Jin on your arm are the same kind of person, but in different directions. ”

"Hehe......" Ashrufar just laughed twice, without admitting or denying it.

"Can you tell me what you want to do for my friend's sake?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let me tell you one thing, your two wives, and that aunt, have recently become the most active people in Eagle City. Rhodia abruptly changed the subject. "I'm talking about the social circles of the aristocracy. ”

"This is normal. Ashrufat remembered Aunt Mary. He had vaguely heard some things about Aunt Mary's past, and he also knew that this Aunt Mary was not such a simple person. Breaking into the social circle of high society was not a problem for the old woman at all.

"She's very good at building momentum. Rhodia said. "She's got your marital status ...... Spread out of the spur. And the people in the city, at least superficially, accepted the concept of her indoctrination. She worked hard to create an atmosphere and put a shackle on you. ”

As she spoke, Rhodia shook her head. "It's a smart thing to do, but as a woman, she's still too naïve. No, it's stupid. ”

It's hard to describe Rhodia's expression at this moment, and a faint sigh came out of her mouth. "Don't look at that old woman, who is nearly three times my age, but when it comes to understanding men, I'm afraid she's far less than me. ”

Eshuruphat remembered the rumors about Aunt Mary from earlier. It is said that this Aunt Mary was also a romantic widow when she was young. But in this regard, Rhodia also used to be a prostitute. In a sense, the experiences of the two are somewhat similar. In fact, as far as Ashrufat's personal feelings are concerned, both women give people the feeling of seeing through the world. But this feeling was much stronger for him than it was for Aunt Mary.

She probably thought that if you wanted to give up the engagement, you would be criticized by the public. Rhodia said. "It's just a small shackle, but it's better than nothing. That's probably what the old woman thought. What a stupid idea - no wonder she had to change men so many times when she was younger. ”

Her tone was filled with utter contempt for Aunt Mary. There was no need for anything else, just these few words, and Ashrufat was sure that she had seen Aunt Mary. Of course, Rhodia herself must have nothing to do with Aunt Mary, so the correct answer should be that the little girl has already met Aunt Mary in the company of Rhodia. And it seems that Rhodia and the little girl seem to have suffered a little loss in that meeting, at least the original plan did not succeed.

"Didn't the public opinion against me reach them this time?"

"Our Prime Minister Arlenn has made a statement. When Rhodia said the name "Ellen", her face was full of disgust. "That old man may owe some favor to the old woman in your family, so he actually spoke out openly on this matter. Relying on his statement, the old woman and a few of your fiancées were barely affected in Eagle Falcon City. Even that Shirley continues to serve as interim Chancellor of the Exchequer. Many of those who coveted that position had to wait patiently because of Prime Minister Arlene's influence. ”

"So Aunt Mary...... And this hand?"

"Whatever you want to do, though, you have to be careful of that old woman. She's a master of lying. ”

"Hey, as long as I agree to this engagement, she's my elder. And my two fiancées are also her heirs, in other words, I am also her heirs, what is she lying to me for? Aunt Mary was the one who recognized and took him in when he had lost his memory and had nothing, and Ashrufat was sure that she would not be against him.

"A man's eyes never see the danger around him. Rhodia whispered, and then she raised her voice. "Anyway, that old woman is very good at deceiving people, and she is completely the kind of person who looks at people and talks about people, and talks nonsense. Just remember that she doesn't believe anything she says. ”

"What's the evidence?" said Ashrufat, getting stranger and stranger. He had the impression that there was no reason for Rhodia to be so hostile to Aunt Mary.

"A woman's intuition. Rhodia's voice was mixed with anger. "If you don't believe it, forget it!"

"Okay, okay. "Ashrufat took the initiative to declare that he would throw in the towel on this topic. "In short, when you come to me this time, you don't just come to talk to me. What the hell do you want to do?"

"Let you find a way to hide!" said Rhodia. "Public opinion in Eagle City is not in your favor, but that will not break out until you return. You just have to stay incognito, put on makeup or something, and drag it out for a few days. When General Bayrell arrives at Eagle City, you'll come out again. Let our Majesty be the Queen...... Pretend not to know anything, so that you can become the commander of the coalition forces. When the time comes, even if public opinion is unfavorable to you, they will have to wait for you to come back from the war. And thanks to your Aunt Mary, at least in the aristocratic circles, you have some supporters, and it shouldn't be difficult to get through this. ”

"As for the question of war...... I don't know what Lu Dao is for, that little girl is very confident in you. Rhodia said. However, although General Bayrell is the first general of his time, he also has many experiences as a lieutenant general. Let me remind you that when General Bayrell was the adjutant general, he suffered defeat several times, but each time it was because the chief general did not listen to General Bayer's advice, and every time General Bayer's strategy was proved to be correct. You just have to listen to him, and there must be something right. ”

"She's taking an adventure. Ashrufat made a comment.

"A risk for the man you love. Rhodia retorted unceremoniously.

"That's just ......"

"That's just the wild imagination of a twelve-year-old girl?!" Ashrufat could finish his sentence when Rodia took it. "Come on, don't kid yourself. A woman like me may not have other skills, but in this regard, she is 100% confident in my eyesight. First of all, she won't be twelve forever, she's already thirteen, and the day after tomorrow will be her thirteenth birthday. It is true that the age of thirteen is a little early, but in another year, she will be fourteen years old, and it is not uncommon for girls to marry at the age of fourteen. As for fifteen years old...... That's a recognized legal age for marriage, and no one can find fault with it. ”

"As for rhapsodies," said Rhodia, "you should know what I do. I've seen a hundred times more men and women than you. Do you think I can't tell the difference between a momentary passion and a real liking? Some fools may not see the difference, but for me there is a very simple way to distinguish between the two, and that is time. The flamboyant fantasies don't last long, but think about it, our little queen...... You can say that this relationship is very young, you can say that this relationship is not very rational, but you can't deny the feeling itself!"

"What do I think about it...... It was a mistake to recommend you to mentor her in the first place. Ashrufat couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

"I think it's one of the best things you've ever done. Rhodia snorted. "Without me helping that little girl in the back, do you think you can do so much decoration freely?"

"So can you tell me what you want...... Which little girl is so supportive? Is this good for you?"

"There's no particular reason, if you have to say it," Rhodia finally spoke after a long silence. "I can only answer you, the more people like me, the more I know the preciousness of this kind of feeling. ”
