Alien Empire Total War

Button button —

A knock on the door woke Charlie from his sleep.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and the warm sunlight had seeped in through the glass of the window and sprinkled on the carpet with intricate patterns. He paused, and the knocking sound outside the door made his sleepiness dissipated. Go a lot.

Charlie lifted the quilt, got up from the bed, walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and looked at the people standing in the corridor.

"Baldwin? What's the matter?" Charlie asked the Chief of Staff Baldwin, who was wearing a general's uniform, suspiciously.

"General, you have a visitor from Ankerton. Her carriage is parked at the entrance of the city hall. I have taken her to the parlour," Baldwin replied.

Because Charlie didn't set up a secretary, Baldwin, the chief of staff of the Fourth Army, worked part-time as Charlie's secretary.

Charlie noticed that he used "she" to address the guest in his words, he was slightly startled, and asked, "Who is that person?"

At the same time as he asked, he was also thinking about the women he knew in Ankerton, but after thinking about it, counting his relatives, he really didn't know more than ten.

Baldwin didn't answer his question directly. He only saw him smiling ambiguous, took a step back, and said, "Please change your clothes and organize your appearance first. You'll find out in a while."

Looking at his ambiguous smile, Charlie suddenly understood something.

A few minutes later, looking at Sophia Signia who was sitting in the living room looking around, Charlie's face showed such a helpless smile. After he entered the living room, Sophia quickly stood up and bowed his knees to him. present.

"Mr. Charlie, Uncle Gunilla should have told you in the letter that I am coming here. Can I stay with you for a while?"

"Of course, I will have someone prepare a place for you."

Charlie remembered the guest from Ankerton that Uncle Gunila told him. It seemed that the guest he was talking about was Sophia, but why did Sophia suddenly leave the capital and come to the southern city that is still at war?

"Oh right." Charlie suddenly remembered another thing, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said, "I usually live in the city hall, and I don't have any other residence in Proden, so I can only ask you to City Hall stayed."

Sophia didn't expect Charlie to have such an honorable status. She usually lives in the City Hall. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm fine, I'm afraid it will disturb the operation of the City Hall."

"Well, it just so happens that I have nothing to do today. You can go shopping with me to the vacant houses in the city. I also need to buy a real estate as my residence in Prodden City."

Charlie suggested.

"As you wish, Mr. Charlie." Charlie's words had another meaning to Sophia's ears—buying a small home that only belonged to the two of them. This made her blushed.

…

More than ten minutes later, a carriage stopped in front of the city hall. Charlie gently supported Sophia's cold little hand and pulled her into the carriage. The carriage was already equipped with a small wood stove burning charcoal. Compared with the icy world outside, the temperature inside was two worlds. After entering the carriage, Charlie felt that the chill on his body had been completely dissipated.

He looked at Sophia, who was sitting across from him. The latter was wearing a light blue tight wool dress and a warm and wide fox fur trench coat, with a faint blush on her delicate cheeks.

Being stared at by Charlie like this, the girl's shyness prevented her from looking directly into Charlie's eyes, she straightened her waist unconsciously, crossed her hands together, and placed them on her thighs.

After a while, Charlie was the first to break the silence. He coughed lightly and said unnaturally, "Miss Sophia, why are you here suddenly?"

"I mentioned it to you in the letter." Sophia's tone was very resentful, she pouted, and explained to Charlie: "The law and order in Ankerton has become very bad recently, and there are often civic rallies and parades on the streets. , my brother is worried about our safety, so let us leave Ankerton first."

"Mother returned to our family's fief, and I didn't want to go back with her, so Mrs. Melissa invited me to come to Prodon City to find you." Speaking of this, her tone suddenly became a little flimsy, and her fingers entangled again involuntarily.

Seeing her like this, Charlie suddenly understood something. He chuckled lightly, leaned forward slightly, raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's hair. As soon as his hand touched, he felt Sophia's body shake slightly.

"Then you will live here in the future. The war against the rebels will take some time to end. Until then, I will stay in Proden City." He said softly.

"Also, I'm also very happy that you can stay with me."

Charlie's voice was very soft, but after UU reading www.uukanshu.com entered Sophia's ears, her face turned red again, she pursed her lips, looked at Charlie with a look of anticipation, and asked in a low voice, "You , is what you said true?"

"Of course."

Charlie nodded and met Sophia's gaze. Why did he suddenly feel guilty that he was abducting and selling little girls?

Seeing Charlie agree, Sophia showed a happy smile. She curled her eyebrows and answered sweetly, and threw herself into Charlie's arms.

Charlie didn't expect Sophia to be so active at all. He subconsciously caught the girl, feeling the extra softness in his arms, and smelling the fragrance that flew with her, his whole body stiffened.

After a while, he slowly relaxed and gently stroked the girl's back, enjoying the rare tranquility.

What he didn't know was that Sophia was as excited as he was. Ever since she first met Charlie and was rescued from danger by him, he had become the knight in Sophia's heart. She also fantasized about being able to be like the one in the novel. Like a princess, she fell in love with her own knight and lived a happy life, and now, she has finally reached the first step.

Hearing the violent heartbeat in Charlie's chest, Sophia felt an unprecedented sense of security. Gradually, Charlie discovered that the girl in his arms fell asleep at some point.

Looking at the girl's sweet face, he moved slightly in his heart, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, Charlie's eyes were calm. He was recalling what Sophia had just said. Just like the information returned by Agent Weisberg, the order in Ankerton City had deteriorated sharply because of Sandy's secret help. A new wave against the nobles is coming, and he must prepare for war before the nobles make up their minds to rebel.
