Section 20: Conversation

Although the two sisters had been dining like this for a long time, before they knew it, they seemed to have become accustomed to the presence of a third person. There is a strange sense of emptiness that feels today.

"He went into the city alone?" Although it is said that it is not too far from entering the city, it is indeed difficult to get back for lunch without a car or horse.

"It's a person. Xingke replied. She unconsciously looked at Ashrufat's original position—of course, there was only a pair of cutlery there. Although her sanity told her that it had nothing to do with whether Ashrufat was there or not, the fact that there were only two people left did make her feel an inexplicable sense of discomfort. So she sped up her meal and wanted to finish it early.

"Sister, I've been thinking about it these days...... What happened at the beginning ......," Hoshimi said with a sigh of relief.

After all, the two are twins, if they are not born with telepathy, at least they have lived together for decades, and they have already had the same heart. I don't need my sister to say too much, Xingke knows what my sister means. That's when they first met Ashrufat—the two sisters were on an escape, struggling to survive. They met Ashruphat with a powerful pursuer and were helped by him. The most unfortunate result of this incident was that Ashrufat took advantage of the fact that the two sisters were seriously injured and unable to resist, and repeatedly possessed them many times, and after the most reluctance, he easily dropped a sentence, patted his ass and left, and was never heard from again. Fortunately, they weren't pregnant, otherwise they really don't know what would have happened to them.

Although more than ten years have passed, it is engraved in the memories of the two people and cannot be forgotten. It was precisely because of this that the second time they saw Ashrufat, the two sisters recognized each other at a glance.

"At that time...... We promised him...... If you can leave, we'll spend the night with him......" Hoshimi continued. There were only two sisters at the table, so they could say something secret without fear of being heard by a third party.

"The villain who backtracked!" Xingke viciously bit down a piece of ripe corn. She still remembered the feeling at that time—in fact, the two sisters did commit to it with considerable consciousness at that time. When Eshuruphat discussed the theory of magic with them for a night and said, "Didn't you stay with me all night?", she really thought she had met a great person. But in the blink of an eye, the "good guy" turned into a big bad wolf. "One night" has also been multiplied several times, with interest, but also with usury.

In fact, at that time, it was fine when she was seriously injured and couldn't move and let Eshurufat do whatever she wanted, but the more she thought about it afterwards, the more angry she became. If the mind could kill, then Starmark might have slashed Ashrufat a thousand times in his mind.

However, as a philosopher once said, time is the best painkiller. More than ten years can erase a lot of spiritual damage. Even Xingke himself thought that he had forgotten about that incident. However, in fact, it has been proved that the wound of the soul can only be covered up, and it can never be closed.

Of course, the "fiancé's plan" proposed by my aunt also played a role in fueling the fire. Maybe at that time, they should have left Ashrufat on the ground and smelled like him, instead of bringing him back and seeing a doctor for treatment.

"At that time...... Is there something special going on?" Hoshimi replied with some hesitation.

"What could be the matter?!Don't mention him!"

But Aunt Mary said...... "Aunt Mary's meaning is very simple and straightforward," she said...... "If you make a fake come true, you will be wrong. Although at the beginning, he was brought back with an attitude of "waste utilization" and recognized him as his fiancé, but since Ashrufat has lost his memory, it is better to really be husband and wife. Although the two sisters did not understand why their aunt had suddenly made such a radical change in attitude, they could believe that whatever Aunt Mary did, her starting point must be for the good of both of them.

"Auntie may have just been on a whim. Xingke replied, although to be honest, she didn't believe it herself.

"Maybe we should ask ......"

"What do you ask? He's gone. ”

"But...... I think...... But how he was in the past, he's not bad now......"

"That's because he doesn't have any capital. Xingke replied. "He has nothing but the identity of this 'fiancé' now, and of course he will be polite to us. Otherwise he will be swept away...... He's not a fool, and he's probably aware of his situation. ”

"So sister, tell me, what will we do in the future?"

The star moment was instantly speechless. Of course, it doesn't matter for now, even if you keep it this way for a year or two, but what about the future? Fiancé is not a lifelong career, sooner or later he will be promoted or fired.

"At most, I will only accept to remain in a nominal relationship with him. Xingke hurriedly ate the last part of the food. "I won't have anything to do with that rascal anymore!" she said coldly.

......

"Sure enough, it's you, Ashrufat. The stranger let out a loud laugh. He noticed the confusion on the other man's face. "Have you forgotten me? We met not long ago at Baron Raoult's ball. But I'll take the liberty of introducing myself once again, my name is Gray. He took off his hat and made a simple greeting to him.

Ashrufat replied. "It's a pleasure to meet you here. Since the other party took the initiative to say hello, he could only deal with it politely.

"Ah, working in this boring place every day is really a helpless and depressing thing. It's a joy to see a familiar face. Gray said happily.

Ashrufat glanced to the side. There is a badge hanging on it, and it is immediately obvious that this is also the residence of a chamber of commerce. However, although the doors are open, there seems to be no one in the place. Ashrufat looked through the door and looked inside, and although he couldn't see it clearly, he could still feel that it was empty...... His gaze rested once again on the freshly painted door.

Well, is it a chamber of commerce that has recently opened an office in the city? Well, in that case, it is understandable to be so enthusiastic about someone who has only met once. I guess I was desperate to open up the situation.

Gray then happily invited Eshurufat into his office for a chat. His attitude was so warm that it was hard to refuse. Besides, Ashrufat had nothing else to do at this time, and he hadn't spoken to anyone else in the past few months, except for the two sisters and Aunt Mary (and the doctor, if you had to count), which made him feel that it was unnecessary to refuse the invitation.

Gray's office further corroborates Eshurufat's speculation. As with all chambers of commerce, the first floor is an office hall (not to mention the customers, not even the employees), and the second floor is the office of the high-level people. Even this office is very simple, except for a few necessary pieces of furniture, many things have not been added.

Ashrufat sat down on the couch, Gray rang the bell, and a young man in uniform brought two drinks.

Gray is the kind of real businessman – in other words, someone who is absolutely talkative and good at dealing with people. The two of them talked together for less than ten minutes, and they were intimate like the best friends, in a state of talking without talking. On the one hand, this is Gray's conversation skills, and on the other hand, it is also deliberately done by Ashrufat.

Ashrufat quickly turned the conversation to Aunt Mary. He knew almost nothing about the old woman, so he was eager to know her identity.

"I know the Countess Marianne best, for I grew up in the royal city as a child. She's not an easy character. Gray said. "Don't underestimate your aunt, Brasian City is indeed a small place, and no one who can be called a big man can count more than a hand, and Countess Marianne is definitely one of them. ”

"For what?" said Ashrufat, who didn't seem to be exaggerating the old woman.

"Cut, it looks like you really don't know anything. Gray smiled. "She was a popular figure in the royal city back then. It's a notoriously courtesan ......," he said, leaning closer to Ashrufat. "What about the once famous slut. ”

"Slut ......"

"Legend has it that the men who slept with her were not a thousand, but eight hundred. Gray whispered. "There have been hundreds of duels for her, and there is no single piece of paper that can remember the fact that both sides of the duel died together...... However, everything has a beginning and an end, and she ends up being accused of murdering her husband and treason. Gee...... The accusation of this crime turned out to be unsuccessful, and the only price to pay was to leave the royal city to retire in the countryside...... You can think about how much energy she has. And even this price was not strictly enforced, and she would often leave Brassian and go back to the royal city. ”

Looking at Gray's mysterious expression, Ashrufar couldn't help but feel stunned. However, it is really hard to imagine that Aunt Mary actually had such a past.

"You've married her two nieces, but you need to pay a little attention to your body. Gray patted Ashrufat on the shoulder, revealing an expression that a man could understand. "Don't be too strong when you're exhausted...... You must know that she did not give birth to children, from this point of view, you have lived long enough, and there is a chance that you will inherit a large inheritance in the future, which is really enviable. Hug left and right, and have both wealth and beauty!" He deliberately pretended to have an embarrassed expression.

Ashrufat only smiled at this and did not comment.

"By the way, Ashrufat, can you tell me something. Gray looked curious. "You know, this place has a legend about the sisters. ”

"Legends?"

"The sisters are dark magicians. Gray said. "Don't you notice that their faces are unnaturally young? Some people say it's evidence of the dark arts. ”

"But...... There is a big difference between human physiques. Ashrufat hesitated in reply. "Twenty-somethings look like teenagers, and that's not an exaggeration. It's just rumors. ”

"Is it really just a legend?" Gray's gossip heart looked struck. "But it should be the case, they were approached by the church a few years ago...... Of course, nothing was found in the end. ”

"A few years ago?" Ashruphat was keenly aware of the word. "Didn't you just say you just came here?"
