Lord of War

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

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

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

  Angel.

Although Cecilia is reluctant to admit the existence of this woman, her purpose and everything related to her, she does have information about Reyce, and this information happens to be Cecilia The others cannot grasp, so they can only negotiate with them. However, the result of the negotiations is always to see Sean, and Angel will not agree to all other conditions.

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

  Cecilia wanted to throw a Solomon flame into her face on the spot.

   However, considering William and the problems after entering the empire, Cecilia finally chose to "consider the overall situation"-no matter what her mood, she finally did not let her selfishness cloud her reason. Of course, from a certain point of view, Cecilia's approach is indeed not wrong, because she has confidence in Sean and will not be confused 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 a monkey—well, have a baby, or anything like that. Instead, she acted like an elegant lady. When communicating with Sean, she mostly listened rather than dominated the right to speak. In this scene, Hassas was shocked to see that he could put three eggs in his mouth. Because in the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire, Angel’s comments are notoriously selfish and indifferent. As long as it is a topic she is not interested in, let alone listening, she will not be happy even if she sits for three minutes. Not to mention that she would actually give up the dominance.

  Because in the cognition of Hasas, Angel is a very powerful woman.

  This point, Cecilia also deeply understands after being alone with Angel at noon.

  But, now this woman. Actually gave up his strongest place. Instead, they casually conduct table etiquette with Sean and talk about Sean’s adventures. Of course, these stories are basically the information that Angel has collected, and at most they can’t be accurately known because of some details. , But in the communication with Sean, these details have also been added one by one.

  Many stories are presented to Angel in an extremely complete mode.

   "Miss Cecilia is defeated." Diana watched and kept listening in front of Sean. From time to time, I asked the key points of some stories sharply. Especially in some wonderful places that are easy to talk about, I finally sighed in a low voice.

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

  Diana glanced at Rina, especially focusing on her breasts, then glanced at Angel’s breasts, and finally said, "You said...Do you like Grand Duke Sean?"

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

Diana sighed: "Michael. Angel costume. One of the artifacts of the Saint-Joles Empire.... It's a shame that our lord dared to take it back, and it's also a shame that you really dare to take it back. use."

"Why not? I feel good." Rina ate the last bite of the barbecue on the plate with a fork, and then went to get a new barbecue. "But it is a little troublesome to use, and I feel that it consumes a lot of physical energy. It’s big, I trained a little this afternoon, and then I became hungry."

   "Your character is really subtle, which makes people particularly enviable."

  Diana sighed, and then gave up to continue communicating with Rena, because she found that Rena’s "like" was obviously different from that of ordinary people. I don't know if it is the personality change brought about by the bloodline awakening-Diana, who has no bloodline potential, does not understand these, so she is just hearsay. But as one of the core members of the Void Principality that has been officially accepted, Diana still knows that Rina's blood is the third person in the Principality, second only to Xuefanio and Cecilia.

Withdrawing her gaze from Rina, Diana took another look at Angel, who was sitting on the left side of Sean. She didn’t know what the two were talking about. Sean was obviously very interested, and Angel didn’t have any smile, but her eyes Li was also a little softer than when she saw Angel’s eyes in the afternoon-as an excellent diplomat, eye observation happened to be one of Diana’s strengths, so she also found that she smiled somewhat reluctantly. Cecilia.

  As for William, Alfred, Hina, Clover and others, it is clear that they did not intend to get involved in the war between the two women, and they maintained a very consistent silence throughout the entire process. Of course it can be seen that they are still biased towards Cecilia, but at this time, even if they want to help Cecilia fight for the topic or initiative, but they really can’t find the topic to penetrate, so they are actually Don't talk too much to avoid causing other problems.

  Especially, Angel is not a stupid vase.

  Maybe the new topic may have caused Angel to have more entry points on the snake and 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 the hands of Sean.

"But... this Angel is really terrible, she knows how to satisfy a man's vanity." Dianna watched Angel not talk about any marriage or political, economic, or military-related topics at all, she was just a listener, and She has always been showing a high concentration of interest, and every time she raises a point of curiosity, she can scratch the most critical point of the deeds that Sean is talking about. Such a woman is simply terrifying.

  So, the dinner came to an end in this extremely subtle atmosphere.

  After dinner, Angel was the first to get up and ask to leave, instead of continuing to choose to stay and pester Sean. As a result, Hasas naturally had trouble staying at the Black Swan Castle, and also chose to leave. In the process, a small episode occurred and Hasas proposed to send Angel down the mountain. But it was rejected by Angel. But Angel obviously took an active offensive uncontrollably: in her rejection of Hasas, she hinted that Sean could send her down the mountain, but it was a pity that Sean didn't understand this hint at all, so she Standing so at the gate of the castle, smiling and waving goodbye.

  Cecilia held back her resentment all night, and at this moment she finally relaxed. Rarely showed a smile to Angel.

  When the latter is about to get on the carriage. Naturally, her face became abnormally cold-although Angel did not smile at dinner, her face was as cold as ever, but Hasas, who knows Angel, and Cecilia, who has communicated with Angel, can clearly feel it. Then, the atmosphere around Angel is completely different from normal. Although her face is still cold, she is indeed showing her tenderness in another way.

   "Grand Duke Sean is better than I thought. I find that I really like him a little bit." When he got on the carriage. Angel and Cecilia gave a light hug, just like a pair of friends, but Angel’s words made Cecilia’s rare smile disappear instantly, "Don’t worry, I will definitely play the role of the grand duchess. Cecilia Connery-Miss."

  In addressing Cecilia, Angel especially emphasized the three words "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. But the voice sounded more like a mockery. Of course, only she and Cecilia could hear this laughter, "Then, good night, dear Miss Cecilia."

"Good night, dear Miss Angel." Cecilia smiled and greeted her, and her smile was extraordinarily sweet and sincere. "I forgot to tell you before that Sean likes women who smile. Like you, with facial paralysis, Don't talk about the impression points at night, even I was very embarrassed to see from the side.... However, if you want to make the facial paralysis with necrotic facial nerves smile, I am afraid it is more difficult than finding a dragon? Oh—— By the way, Miss Hitley from the Life Church and I are good friends. Do you need me to introduce you to a new diagnosis and treatment?"

  Angel’s face was very stiff, she didn't say anything, turned around and got into the carriage.

   Then soon, the carriage began to head towards the small town down the mountain.

  Followed by the Hasas carriage.

When passing by Cecilia's side, Hasas smiled, but this smile looked a little sad. After Cecilia disappeared from the carriage window, Hasas finally put down the window of the carriage. curtain. This action was like a symbol or suggestion. After a slight sigh, Hasas didn't think much about it.

   And Cecilia, the smile she had kept on her face, finally disappeared after the two carriages left her sight.

  Her eyes seemed vague, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

  Cecilia only felt that she felt unusually tired from the moment she met Angel at noon, and ended with Angel’s departure. This was much more exhausting than she was doing business for two or three days without sleeping, but she couldn't tell why she felt so physically and mentally exhausted.

   "Cecilia." Sean walked to Cecilia and said softly, "Thank you."

   "Huh?" Cecilia was taken aback.

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

  This kind of long-lost intimacy made Cecilia feel a moment of physical and mental comfort. She found that she really enjoyed this rare leisure and intimacy, especially when her mood and emotions were obviously in a bad state, being rubbed by Sean so affectionately, Cecilia really Very satisfied.

  It’s just that, in her impression, William’s EQ has always been very low, and she doesn’t seem to be right to say these things to Sean.

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

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

   "No." Cecilia shook her head slightly, "Everything must have a beginning and an end.... And, I want to prove to you that I will not be inferior to Miss Angel!"

"This kind of thing, you don't need to prove it at all." Sean looked at Cecilia, his laughter was 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. Besides, even if you really don’t have any ability, I don’t mind, so... don’t make yourself too tired, Okay?"

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

   "Promise me." Xiao En laughed.

   "En." Cecilia nodded heavily this time, but her face was even redder, and she felt that her cheeks seemed to be hot, which was incredible to her. At this moment, she was even afraid of being blushed by Sean, so she always walked with her head down, not daring to raise her head at all.

   "William said that you don't like Miss Angel. I wanted to call you to go to the floating library with me. It seems that I don't need to worry about it." Xiao En said suddenly.

  Cecilia's face stiffened, then she sighed helplessly, and whispered: "I knew that William was unreliable..."

  Finally, after returning to the Black Swan Castle, Cecilia bit her lip, and then as if she had made some determination, she said, "Sean!"

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

   "Do you like me?" Cecilia asked.

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

   "What if I am not cute, smart and powerful?"

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

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

   "...You are my most important sister." Xiao En smiled and finished what had not yet been said.

  Cecilia was stunned for a moment, and then finally sighed helplessly. I don’t know how many times I don’t know today: "Sure enough... I can’t count on you as a piece of wood."

   "What wood?" Sean walked 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 is the first time Cecilia took the initiative to hug Sean in so long, "This way... As long as this is the case, I will be satisfied. ... But you have to bring me a gift from the Floating Library."

   "Of course!" Sean chuckled, then reached out and hugged Cecilia. (To be continued~^~)

  PS:  Oh, even I myself start to feel sorry for Cecilia.
