Lord of War

In the middle of the night, except for the on-duty guards and corresponding servants, everyone else in Black Swan Castle had already rested.

Hassas and his guards also left Black Swan Castle after dinner.

Of course, there was also a woman who Cecilia didn't want to see at all at the dinner.

Angel.

Although Cecilia is unwilling to admit the existence of this woman, her purpose, and everything related to her, she does have information about Leis, and this information happens to be Cecilia Others can't grasp it, so they can only negotiate with them. However, the result of the negotiations was that they must meet Xiao En, and Angel refused to agree to any other conditions.

In her words, it is "I don't need anything, but a man who is worthy of me."

Cecilia wanted to throw a Solomon's Flame on her face on the spot.

However, considering William and the problems after entering the empire's territory, Cecilia finally chose to "take care of the overall situation"—no matter what her mood was, she did not let her selfishness blind her in the end. Of course, from a certain point of view, Cecilia's actions are indeed not wrong, because she has confidence in Sean and will not be fooled by a woman like Angel.

But at dinner, Angel's performance was completely beyond Sean's expectations.

She didn't say that she would marry Sean, or give Sean monkeys—well, children, or anything like that. Instead, she acted like an elegant lady, and when she communicated with Sean, she mostly listened instead of leading the conversation——Hassas was so shocked that he could probably stuff three eggs into his mouth at this scene. Because in the Millennium Covenant Empire, Angel's style comments are notoriously independent and indifferent. As long as it is a topic that she is not interested in, let alone listen. Even sitting for three minutes is not happy, let alone she would give up the initiative.

Because in Hassas' cognition, Angel is a very strong woman.

at this point. Cecilia also had a deep understanding after being alone with Angel at noon.

But. Now this woman actually gave up her strongest position, and instead casually performed dinner table etiquette with Sean, chatting about Sean's adventures—of course, these stories are basically the information that Angel has collected, At most, it was impossible to know exactly because of some details, but in the communication with Sean, these details were also supplemented one by one.

many stories. It was presented in front of Angel in an unusually complete form.

"Miss Cecilia is completely defeated." Seeing that she was maintaining a listening posture in front of Sean, Diana asked some key points of the story from time to time, especially some wonderful places that are very easy to talk about, and finally whispered Sighed.

"Why? Where did you lose?" Rena asked in the same low voice while eating the barbecue, "Did she fight with anyone?"

Diana glanced at Rina, focusing especially on her breasts, then glanced at Angel's breasts, and finally said, "Tell me...do you like Grand Duke Sean?"

"My lord?" Rina tilted her head, "Why don't you like it? I've never seen a better lord than Sean.... And this time. Sean came back and gave me a new set of armor Well, it seems to be some kind of outfit called rice..."

Diana sighed: "Michael, the angel costume. One of the artifacts of the St. Jors Empire... It's really thanks to our lord that he dared to take back such things. And it's also thanks to you that you really dared to take it back." use."

"Why don't you use it? I feel good." Rena ate the last bite of barbecue on the plate with a fork, and then went to get a new one. Big, I practiced a little this afternoon, and then my stomach is flattened."

"Your character is really subtle and makes people enviable."

Diana sighed.

Then she gave up and continued to communicate with Rina, because she found that Rina's "like" was obviously different from that of ordinary people. I don't know if it's the personality change brought about by the awakening of the bloodline-for these. Diana, who has no blood potential, didn't understand, so she was just hearing it. But as one of the core members of the duchy of the void that has been officially accepted. Diana still knew that Rena's blood was the third among many people in the principality after Sefanio and Cecilia.

Taking her eyes away from Rina, Diana glanced at Angel, who was sitting on the lower left of Sean. I don't know what the two of them talked about. Sean's interest was obviously strong, and although Angel didn't smile, his eyes were a little more tender than when she saw Angel's eyes in the afternoon—as an outstanding As a diplomat, eye observation happened to be one of Diana's strengths, so she also spotted Cecilia who was smiling a bit reluctantly.

As for William, Alfred, Hina, Clover and the others, it was obvious that they did not intend to intervene in the war between the two women, and they maintained an extremely consistent silence throughout the process. Of course, it can be seen that they still prefer Cecilia, but at this time, even if they want to help Cecilia win the topic or the initiative, but they really can't find a topic to cut into, so instead It's better not to talk too much to avoid causing other problems.

Especially, Angel is not a stupid vase.

Maybe the re-discovery of the topic will give Angel more entry points on the snake stick, and it will be even more troublesome for her to completely take the initiative.

In the current communication, at least the initiative is in Sean's hands.

"But... this Angel is really scary. She knows how to satisfy a man's vanity." Diana saw that Angel didn't talk about marriage or any topics related to politics, economy, and military affairs. She was just a listener, and She has always shown a high concentration of interest, and every curious point she raises happens to be able to touch the most critical point of the deeds that Sean told. Such a woman is simply terrifying.

Thus, the dinner came to an end in this extremely delicate atmosphere.

After dinner, Angel was the first to get up and offered to leave instead of staying to pester Sean. So Hassas naturally didn't want to stay in Black Swan Castle, and also chose to leave—in the process, a small episode happened. Hassas offered to send Angel down the mountain together, but Angel refused. But Angel obviously couldn't hold back and took the initiative to attack: in her rejection of Hassas, she implied that she hoped that Sean would send her down the mountain. It's a pity that Sean didn't understand this hint at all, so he just stood at the gate of the castle smiling and waving goodbye.

Cecilia held back her grievances all night. At this moment, he finally felt relieved, and gave Angel a rare smile.

When the latter was about to get into the carriage, his face naturally became extremely cold - although during the dinner, Angel did not smile at all, and his face was as indifferent as ever, but Hassas, who knew Angel well, and Cecily, who had communicated with Angel But Ya could clearly feel that the atmosphere around Angel was completely different from normal, even though her face was still indifferent. But she does show her tenderness in another way.

"Grand Duke Sean is even better than I imagined, and I found that I really like him a little bit." Before getting on the carriage, Angel and Cecilia hugged gently, like a couple Like a good friend, but Angel's words made Cecilia's rare smile disappear instantly, "Don't worry, I will definitely play the role of the Grand Duchess well. Cecilia Connelly—Miss."

When addressing Cecilia, Angel especially emphasized the word "Connery".

"Hmph, you have no chance." Cecilia sneered back.

"Hehe. That's not necessarily the case. My performance at dinner is enough to win me a lot of impression points." Angel and Cecilia let go. Although she laughed like a smile, her voice sounded more Like mocking something. Of course, only she and Cecilia could hear this laughter, "Then, good night, dear Miss Cecilia."

"Good night, dear Miss Angel." Cecilia greeted with a smile, and her smile was extraordinarily sweet and sincere, "I forgot to tell you before, Sean likes women who can smile. Facial paralysis like you, Let’s not talk about impression points at night. Even I was very embarrassed to watch it.... But, I want to make the facial nerves with dead facial nerves smile. I’m afraid this is more difficult than finding a giant dragon? Oh—— By the way, I am good friends with Miss Heatley from the Life Church. Do you need me to introduce you to her and let her give you a newborn diagnosis and treatment?"

Angel's face was very stiff, she turned around and got into the carriage without saying anything.

Soon, the carriage started heading towards the small town down the mountain.

Followed by Hassas's carriage.

When passing by Cecilia, Hassas smiled, but the smile looked a little sad. After Cecilia disappeared from the window of the carriage, Hassas finally put down the window of the carriage. curtain. This action was like a symbol or a hint. After Hassas sighed slightly, he didn't think about it any more.

As for Cecilia, the smile that was always on her face disappeared completely after the two carriages left her sight.

Her eyes seemed a little uncertain, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Cecilia only felt that from the moment she met Angel at noon to the end of Angel's departure, she felt extremely tired. This is much more exhausting than her having to deal with official duties for two or three days without sleep, but she can't explain why she feels so physically and mentally exhausted.

"Cecilia." Sean walked to Cecilia's side and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Huh?" Cecilia froze for a moment.

"I've heard what William said." Sean said softly, then reached out and stroked Cecilia's head.

This long-lost intimacy made Cecilia feel physically and mentally comfortable. She found that she really enjoyed this rare leisure and intimacy, especially in the current state where her mood and emotions were obviously in a bad state, and Cecilia really felt that she was rubbing her head so affectionately by Sean. Very satisfied.

It's just that, in her impression, William's EQ has always been low, and it's unlikely that he would say these things to Sean.

"It's not hard." Cecilia said with a smile, "I'm really happy to be able to help you like this."

"If you don't want to, go to the floating library with me and give yourself a good vacation or something." Sean chuckled, and then pulled Cecilia to the castle together, "Things It will never be finished....And this time, with the information brought by Ms. Angel, there are four more people including William's sister in terms of manpower. I believe there will be no accidents without your command."

"No need." Cecilia shook her head slightly, "Everything has to be done from the beginning to the end....Moreover, I want to prove to you that I will not be inferior to Miss Angel!"

"This kind of thing doesn't need proof at all." Sean looked at Cecilia, his laughter remained the same, and his voice was softer, "In my eyes, Cecilia, you have always been the best, but No one can compare to you...So, you don't need to prove anything at all. Besides, I don't mind if you really don't have any abilities, so...don't make yourself too tired, okay?"

"En." Cecilia's face was flushed, and her voice was a little low.

"Promise me." Sean smiled.

"En." Cecilia nodded heavily this time, but her face turned redder, and she felt that her cheeks seemed to be hot, which was simply unbelievable to her. At this moment, she was even afraid that Xiao En would find out that she was blushing, so she walked with her head down all the time, not daring to raise her head at all.

"William said you don't like Miss Angel. I wanted to ask you to go to the floating library with me. It seems that I don't need to worry." Sean said suddenly.

Cecilia's face froze for a moment, then she sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice, "I knew William was unreliable..."

Finally, after returning to Black Swan Castle, Cecilia bit her lips tightly, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Sean!"

"What's wrong?" Sean stopped, then looked back at Cecilia, and asked with some doubts.

"Do you like me?" Cecilia asked.

"I like it." Sean was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "Cecilia is so cute, smart and powerful, of course I like it!"

"What if I'm not cute, smart and powerful?"

"Then I like it too." Sean said with a smile, "Because you are Cecilia, someone who cannot be replaced by anyone in this world..."

"Well, me too..." Cecilia said slightly.

"...You are my most important sister." Xiao En smiled and finished what he hadn't finished.

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, and then finally sighed helplessly. I don't know how many times I have been helpless today: "Sure enough... I can't count on you as a log."

"What wood?" Sean walked up to Cecilia and looked down at Cecilia, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Cecilia shook her head, "Aren't you leaving tonight? Are you all ready?"

"It's all ready." Sean nodded, "But what did you plan to tell me just now?"

"It's nothing." Cecilia chuckled, and then stepped forward to hug Sean—this was the first time Cecilia took the initiative to hug Sean in a long time, "This way... as long as this is the case, I am satisfied ...But, you have to bring me a gift, from the Great Floating Library."

"Of course!" Sean chuckled, then reached out and hugged Cecilia as well. (to be continued)
