Chapter 37: Charm
To Taylor's disappointment, however, Anne did not look up to him for offering to fight for her, as the aristocratic maidens he had captured.
On the contrary, Anne's bright red eyes, which were so beautiful that they were clear and transparent, were full of puzzlement at the moment.
Anne frowned, hesitated and confused, turned to Spiegel, and asked in a low voice.
"Hey...... Spiegel, I just heard this guy called Taylor...... Is it to want...... Duel with Lemon Moon? I heard you right, did I?"
Spiegel breathed a sigh of relief after feeling that the hostess no longer exuded the breathless pressure just now, he looked at Taylor deeply, and then turned his head sideways and responded in a low voice.
“...... Well, my mistress, you heard it right, he, this guy named Taylor, was just saying that he was going to duel with Young Master Li Meng. ”
Anne nodded, but she was still skeptical. Anne hesitated for a long time, but finally looked at Taylor and asked tentatively.
“...... Taylor, how old are you?"
In response to Annie's inquiry, Taylor tried to take a few steps forward and get closer to Annie, but was held back by his companion behind him.
For no other reason, perhaps because the attention was all focused on Annie, and Taylor didn't notice Randy's face suddenly turn cold like the descendants of the nobles who had come with him.
Taylor was disgruntled and tried to shake off the guy who was pulling him, but saw the pleading gaze of the other party.
And then...... Taylor followed the other party's desperate gaze and saw Grand Elder Randy who had no secret of the murderous intent on his face......
Feeling the cold eyes of Grand Elder Randy, Taylor shook his wit and finally came to his senses, and cold sweat also penetrated his back.
Then Anne spoke again, and she asked impatiently, "Why don't you speak, Taylor?"
Taylor's mind went blank at this time, and after a while, he remembered the question Anne had asked just now, so he reluctantly smiled and replied, "...... Uh, noble duchess, I ...... Please forgive me for being distracted...... I'm twenty years old......"
"Twenty years old?" Anne raised her good-looking eyebrows, then nonchalantly buttoned her nails, and said disdainfully, "Oh, so you're twenty years old...... Do you think it's appropriate for you to propose a duel to Li Meng? Oh yes, and I don't like men who are older than me and who talk strangely!"
Well, a double whammy.
Even the companions who accompanied Taylor couldn't help but feel sad for him.
Yes, Taylor must have been carried away, otherwise, he would not have thought of challenging Limon .
Come to think of it, that guy from Taylor is almost twice the age of Leemond! Although his usual unrestrained drunken life has almost hollowed out his body.
However, he was always an adult.
And Li Meng...... Well, he's still a kid!
Anne unceremoniously picked on this, and even Taylor's cheeky cheekiness couldn't help but blush slightly.
Then, Anne did not forget to mend the knife, and bluntly said that she did not like to be older than her, and ...... A man who speaks very strangely.
Well, anyway, what Taylor thinks, no one knows, but Spiegel couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth at this moment after hearing Anne say this, who had always maintained an expression on his face.
And some of Taylor's companions couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker, while more people barely maintained their expressions, but in their hearts, they were expressing a silent tribute for Taylor.
After Anne finished speaking, she waved her hand in boredom and motioned for Spieger to chase the men away.
Spiegel nodded, and was about to cough twice to clear his throat, and then "politely" ask the group of uninvited guests to get out of Blackthorn Castle.
Suddenly, Taylor's expression froze for a moment, and then, his eyes became trance-like, and then returned to clarity. After these brief and complex changes, Taylor seems to be recalling what just happened...... It all seemed so illusory now......
Wait, did you really do what you said just now?
Moreover, why did you propose a duel to Li Meng just now? Crazy?!
Randy, who had not spoken, sighed, among all the people present, probably only Spiegel and him, knew what had just happened.
This may be Anne, the first time she has seen an outsider since the soul awakening of the ancestor Encore.
Oh no, before, there were Li Meng's family, the group of saints......
However, the immunity of the Holy Clan to magic has made them immune to the charm of the Blood Clan to a certain extent.
But it should be noted that when the Holy Clan came to Blackthorn Castle, Anne did not have too many emotional fluctuations......
But......
The moment Taylor appeared, he was always targeting Leemon, whether in words, deeds, or ...... Thought!
Anne, as if instinctively, sensed Taylor's displeasure with Limon and then took the initiative to spy on his thoughts. Then, he inadvertently unleashed the charm - the charm that was only for Taylor!
In short, Taylor made a big ugly appearance in front of everyone! His face turned red, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw Anne's careless appearance, he held back stiffly.
Taylor's heart is full of regret now, why didn't he just say that it was a god of the Northern Regions, and he wanted Li Meng to exchange Mokavi's secret and Annie's safety......
In his opinion, Anne would never regard Li Meng as more important than her own life! Even if she had paid so much wealth for Li Meng before!
But what is the point of wealth if it is not owned and used?
Therefore, he firmly believed that Li Meng was nothing more than a toy to Anne...... Or rather, an expensive toy!
At this moment, Taylor still didn't realize that his own thoughts, what was being spied on.
Before coming to Blackthorn, no one had told him about the Bloodline, and he had only roughly assumed that the Bloodline was just one of the many races on the continent.
Well, at best, each member is a highly gifted race.
Spiegel sighed silently, Grand Elder Randy silently scolded the idiot, and Annie's eyes became colder and colder.
However, to everyone's surprise, Li Meng, who has always shown indifference to everything, jumped out at this moment!
"You want a duel? because Anne? Okay, I promise you!"
