“…” Olivia was shocked when she heard what Li’anka said.
“Li’anka…did someone teach you to say that?”
“No, sister, what I said just now was purely from my heart.”
“Then tell me, why do you like Orson? You and him obviously have nothing in common…”
“I…I…” Li’anka was stunned and began to think about the reason why she liked Orson.
She quickly searched through every fragment of her encounter with Orson in her memory, and then found out...
It seemed that Orson really...
Thinking of this, Lianka said, "Sister, you want to ask me the reason, right? Then I'll tell you."
"From the first day we met, I was fascinated by Orson's handsome face. After that, although I said I hated Orson, I would always consider every move of Orson unconsciously in my heart."
"Including when you and Orson were chatting together, I would also inexplicably have a little temper. At that time, I thought I was angry because you talked to Orson, whom I hated, but in fact, it was not. I was just jealous because I liked Orson. ”
“After that, I was in a bad mood and ran to the pavilion next to the artificial lake. It was Orson who came to comfort me. Although I said that I didn’t want Orson to get close to me, I was actually looking forward to Orson…”
“So, when Orson came to my house to help me with my psychological problems that day, I followed my heart. Yes, I used it as a dream to confuse myself, but in fact I just followed my heart. I wanted to be with Orson.”
Olivia looked at Lianka in front of her. She was still stumbling at the beginning, but the more she spoke, the more determined she became. A look of surprise appeared on her face.
Oh no, I just wanted to use this trick to make Lianka give up, but Lianka really gave a lot of reasons. Could it be that this little girl really liked Orson before, but she always misunderstood her feelings for Orson.
Then after this suggestion, she made it clear to her, right?
What is this? Is it to trick the ultimate move with a basic attack?
In short, Olivia is really a little panicked now.
At first, she thought it was just a trick of Li Te, but now it seems that the saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs seems to be right, and her sister seems to really like Orson...
Even if she had warned her in a roundabout way before, it didn't work at all.
Olivia's emotions are a bit numb now.
She doesn't know what to say.
"Anyway, sister, can you understand my feelings?"
As Li Anka spoke, she also found something wrong.
It seems that this was not her original purpose,
but for some reason, she also got involved in it.
It seems that she really likes Orson.
But no matter what, as long as she can convince her sister, it's good.
"Li Anka..." Olivia said this and shook her head regretfully. "Although I know what you mean, the news of the change of the engagement has spread. If we change it back, how will outsiders view our family?"
"If we change the engagement frequently, outsiders will only think that our family is a family that does not keep its promises..."
"But this is not a change of engagement, it just returns the engagement to its original state..."
"Could it be that, sister, you don't actually want to do this?" Li Anka stared at Olivia with a surprised look.
"No, of course not." Seeing her sister's expression, Olivia was startled, and then shook her head quickly. "Of course, if it is for your happiness, sister, sister is of course willing to do this..."
"Then why..." Li Anka asked doubtfully.
"..."Olivia was silent for a while.
Can she not act in this play?
She now feels that she is under a lot of pressure for no reason. The psychological burden of deceiving her sister has become unprecedentedly heavy.
In the past, she could use Lianka's dislike for Orson to justify her actions, but now it seems that Lianka really likes Orson, so what should she do?
If she refuses, won't she really become a bad sister who takes her sister's man by force?
But if she agrees, she is unwilling in her heart, and Orson must be unwilling too.
Thinking of this, Olivia has an idea.
She said: "After all, the engagement is not something that can be dominated by two people. There are still problems on Orson's side. If Orson doesn't like you, the engagement will definitely not be changed. So, we will go to Orson to talk about this matter later. If he doesn't agree..."
"Okay." Lianka nodded after hearing this.
Indeed, Lianka can only do this. The change of the engagement still needs to consult Orson's opinion.
"In this case, take a rest today and talk about it tomorrow." Olivia said this and hurried upstairs.
Who would have thought that today, Olivia thought she could control Lianka, but in the end, she was defeated and ended up running away.
Maybe this is what is called, a fool is evil.
…
On the other side, Constant City.
A group of soldiers opened the door of a house. At this moment, a man was hanging from the beam in the room, and a suicide note was left on the table.
"I burned the house and killed the people."
After the soldier in charge of the search saw the suicide note, he brought it to the search captain.
The captain glanced at it, then turned and waved.
"Closed case, close the team."
"But, sir, there are still many doubts about this case... What if this person committed suicide and the suicide note was forged... What should we do..."
"How come there are so many of them?! Didn't you hear what I said?" The captain pointed at the soldiers, blowing his beard and glaring. "Closed case, close the team!"
"This is an order from above, don't be disrespectful!"
When the soldier heard this, he could only nod respectfully.
"As you command!"
In the Imperial City, in the office of the police station, Elsa looked at the paper handed over and nodded.
The above content is an investigation report on the death of Baron Drizzt.
After investigation, it was found that Drizzt died in an accident. He was a drunkard who had a grudge against Drizzt. When the guards were unprepared, he sneaked into Drizzt's mansion and assassinated Drizzt. At the same time, in order to destroy The corpse disappeared, causing an accident, and he also burned the house down.
But after Drizzt's death, the search intensified, and the drunkard realized that he didn't have much time left, so he simply committed suicide out of fear of crime.
"Can this case be closed with this result?" A police officer lowered his head and asked respectfully.
"Yeah." Elsa agreed, "It's pretty good."
"By the way, during the investigation, we also discovered that one of Baron Drizzt's guards, named David, disappeared after the case. What should we do about this?"
"That David probably fled because of poor guarding, which led to Drizzt's death, right?" Elsa put the paper aside and rubbed her temples. "Let's put this matter aside for now.
It's not like Masato was killed by himself. All the power now should be used to solve the most important case at hand. "
The case Elsa was talking about was naturally Mudrick's demonization.
"Okay, Your Highness, but regarding Mudrick's case, after we found the person named Lodi, the clues were lost..."
"If the clues are lost, just look for them from other sources. Do you still need me to teach you how to do it?" Elsa frowned.
This is what she has heard the most these days, and because of this, she now gets a headache when she hears the clue is broken.
How come Lodi, a living person, disappeared in the city of Saint Laurent?
A possibility came to mind, but Elsa still shook her head.
It shouldn't be possible that he did it. Elsa and him should be considered a cooperative relationship. If he did this, Elsa should be informed.
Not long after the Sheriff walked out, the door was knocked again, and then, a tall man in military uniform walked in.
"Hey, Elsa, have you been busy lately?" The person who walked in was the eldest prince Arthas.
Although she was unhappy with the smile on Alsace's face, Elsa, as the princess, still showed a smile.
"Nothing can compare to you, my royal brother." She said this and glanced at Alsace's outfit. "Brother, the way you are dressed, it looks like you are going to the front line? Where are you going this time?"
"This time, this time I will lead the team to Antica."
"Is it to deal with orcs?"
"Yeah." Alsace nodded. "The orcs are getting more and more rampant. I'm leaving today, and I want to see you again before I leave."
"Then, am I here to wish the emperor brother good luck in martial arts in advance?"
"Thank you, Princess." Arthas said, and he looked at Elsa and smiled.
Chapter 115: The rain will eventually come (4K)
Duchy of Antica, Antica City, Duke's Residence.
This morning, Mary was handling government documents submitted from various places as usual.
Because she had been half-warned by Lucius before, Mary now did not dare to do anything beyond her duties.
After finishing the matter, she stood up and walked to the door.
At the door, her loyal guard Randall was already waiting there. When he saw her coming out, he quickly took off the coat from the hanger at the door and put it on Mary's shoulders.
The time has come to September and gradually entered autumn. Although there is a magic device in the room to maintain heating, when you go outside the room and face the sudden change in temperature, you still need to wear more clothes to prevent colds.
"Madam, do you want to go out today?" After Randall helped Mary put on her clothes, he stood aside respectfully, like a loyal guard.
"I'll go to the master's room first. Others are responsible for the municipal construction of Antica City. I only need to go there once in a while to check on the situation." Mary said.
In the past three or four months, the construction group under Chelinina has completed the construction of the new city of Antica. During the construction process, they used the power of magicians to turn the originally heavy transportation tasks into It becomes more relaxed, and throughout the construction process, magicians are also widely involved in cutting building materials and low-altitude operations.
Of course, among this batch of participating magicians, there are very few first- and second-level dabblers. Most of them are third-level professional magicians, hired by Chelinina through the Adventurers Association.
In order to make the Ministry of Construction famous, Chelinina spared no expense and hired a sixth-level magician as the general commander of the construction magician team.
Therefore, in just a few months, a brand new new urban area of Antica City was built, and several urban problems faced by Antica City were solved almost instantly.
At first, Mary was worried that the citizens of Antica City would be unwilling to leave their hometown, but later it turned out that Mary was just overthinking.
There is a place with a more comfortable environment and a better overall atmosphere, and it is right next to the original home. Citizens will definitely be more willing to move there.
At the same time, after this round of construction of the new urban area, Antica City, which had been gradually stagnating in population growth, has the motivation to attract immigrants to arrive.
The reason why the Dukedom of Antica could not develop was because the core city of the Dukedom was too small.
As a duke's capital, Antica City can only be regarded as a medium-sized city in the empire. After this round of expansion, Antica City can barely enter the ranks of large cities, but compared with the capitals of other dukedoms, it is still far away.
In the ranking of cities in the empire, the first place is undoubtedly the capital city of Saint Laurent, and then,
the first tier of large cities are Romulus City in the Duchy of Naples, Brandenburg City in the Duchy of Prussia, Pari City in the Duchy of Orleans, Navarre City in the Duchy of Aragon, and Neva City in the Duchy of Lucia.
In the second tier of large cities, there are also the second core cities of the royal direct jurisdiction and other duchies, that is, a large city spontaneously formed far away from the capital of the duchies.
Then comes Antica City.
In the final analysis, it has a lot to do with the late establishment of the Duchy of Antica.
The western part of the Duchy of Antica, including the city of Antica, was divided from the royal direct jurisdiction at that time, and it was not an economic center. In the east, many cities in the newly conquered territories were previously independent city-states, and it was difficult to unite and develop together.
This time, developing the core city of the Duchy of Antica can drive the development of the entire Duchy of Antica.
This is why Orson persuaded Lucius and Mary to use Celinina's construction team to build the new city of Antica.
At first, when Orson proposed to build a new city, Mary also agreed, but Mary only saw that the new city could alleviate the old problems of Antica, but ignored the new hope that the new city could bring to Antica.
At this moment, when the role of the new city gradually emerged, Mary was surprised by Orson's foresight.
But with it came deep fear.
Originally, I thought Orson was only good at civil and military strategy, but now it seems that Orson also has insights far beyond ordinary people in governing the country.
If this is the case, when Orson graduates and comes back, will this family have no place for him? Should I give up the financial power at that time?
After all, although Mary has firmly grasped the financial power of the Dukedom for so many years, she has only ensured the smooth development of the Dukedom, and has not allowed the Dukedom to make substantial progress without any accidents in the middle.
And Orson, with just this one plan, seems to be able to mobilize the economy of the entire Antica Dukedom.
This kid, who has hardly touched money since he was a child, why is he so powerful?
