Lord Duke

Chapter 29 will be

In the afternoon, a deliberation meeting was supposed to be held.But the notice was not posted, and the clock tower did not ring fourteen long bells in succession.

Slante rubbed the center of his brows, always feeling a faint bad premonition.He walked on the street with Payne, probably with a tacit understanding that he wanted to see the royal city again.

The fountain sprayed water, and a gust of wind came in, blowing the two of them all over, with a faint fragrance of flowers.

There are few pedestrians on the street. After all, at this point in time, it is normal for there to be few people.Soldiers on patrol, pedestrians in a hurry, shops of various colors, and wild flowers blooming in the far corner.

The two walked forward slowly.

They all vaguely knew that they would not stay in this royal city for long.After all, generally big nobles like them, that is, dukes, earls, viscounts, etc., stay in their own territories, and unless they are invited by the king, they will not easily come to the royal city.

By this time, more than a month had passed.Some nobles have already set off to return to the territory after the first consultation meeting, although only a small number.

If today's deliberation meeting goes smoothly, then they will probably have to leave for their respective territories tomorrow.This can be regarded as a customary rule for hundreds of years.If today's deliberation meeting is canceled, either leave it for the next postponed date, or... go.

Now, there is one more possibility - if it is true as said in that letter.Although there are some places that are extremely euphemistic, Slanter and Payne worked together to revise their respective ideas and put together seven or eight correct answers.

If it is really like what the letter said, if there is a war, Wangcheng is the last place to stay.Here, the constraints are too great and will be restricted by the king, and most of their troops still stay in the territory.The most important thing is that if the royal city really suffers, the meaning will be completely different.After all, this is the royal city of the Principality of Eaton.

If you want to do something, you are still free in your own territory.If you want to kill the restless factor, you have to do it while it is still Mars.

Payne guessed that the somewhat prophetic letter was sent by Celia.Now he probably understood why he felt that there was a sense of disobedience in that girl.

He told Slant about his plan. In fact, he felt that even if he found Celia, she might not know much.In this way, he also saved the time of sending people to investigate.

Slant just listened with a smile, and occasionally replied a sentence or two, nodding and shaking his head to indicate that he was listening.In the end, he suddenly joked: "I can even remember his name clearly..." He smiled half-smile, and looked at Duke Payne with a slightly raised eye.

Payne was so helpless, he really didn't know how to answer, and finally said: "...don't make trouble."

Slante burst out laughing, the corners of his eyes crooked, and Payne couldn't help but said, "What's so funny?" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.

In fact, there is really nothing funny, but when we are with this person, life has added a lot of fun, and I want to laugh about simple things.He felt that there was a gap in his heart that was about to fill up bit by bit.

However, Slanter seemed to think of something because of this incident, he stopped and held Payne, the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were deep.Although he tried his best to pretend to be serious, there was still no deterrent effect, so Payne followed his momentum and stopped, glanced at him, his brows melted into ice and snow, only gentleness remained: "Huh?"

Slant frowned and said, "How did that girl know what you like? Well... even I don't know..." Payne was reminded at once, and he thought about it carefully, imitating Slant to provoke flirting With a smile, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know."

Slant looked interesting, and he also stood up straight.Originally, he was about the same height as Payne, but he was used to playing around, and he seemed boneless when he was lazy, so he naturally looked a little shorter.

Now that he stood up straight, people suddenly realized that he was also tall and long-legged, with a tall and straight figure like a poplar, and like a sheathed sword with its edge hidden to reveal a little power.He has a high nose and deep eyes, and his green eyes seem to be filled with the light smoke of March, gathering the most beautiful green color, which makes people feel that there is a piece of grass in his eyes.Coupled with the half-smile expression, it was a strange match. Slant's sudden transformation made Payne stunned.

Slant smiled and said sincerely, "I think it is necessary for me to understand you." He blinked his eyes, a little smart, a little cunning, and returned to the familiar look of Payne, "It's as small as hobbies, as big as life experience."

Payne thinks about his lackluster first 27 years—happy through an ultimately unhappy childhood, dull teenage years, and now.A drop of water fell in my heart, and the sound of falling could be heard.

He suddenly had the desire to tell.

The silence was only for a moment, and Payne's drooping eyelashes trembled like butterflies, disturbing Slanter's mind.He raised his eyes, his dark blue eyes fixed on Slante intently, and then he smiled slowly, "It's my honor to tell you."

The two of them walked to Kailan Garden.

The two of them didn't choose a route on purpose, they came here after talking and walking all the way.But here is really far enough, almost no one came here.But this is a veritable garden. There are several tall pear trees near the ground. The small pear trees are elegant and beautiful, dotted with branches.

Under the pear tree, one is a listener and the other is a narrator.Slant silently listened to Duke Payne's briefing, stepped forward and hugged Duke Payne vigorously.He didn't say anything, and probably didn't need to say anything.

A gust of wind blew gently, and the pear blossoms in spring fell all over the two of them.

*********************

North and Garth gathered around an unfolded map.North smiled without any emotion, and pointed to several places on the map in sequence with the tip of his pen.From the middle to the west, then to the west and back to the middle, and finally to the east.Gass propped his chin, tilted his head from left to right and smiled, "Brother, you made me dizzy."

North shot him an unfeeling glance.So Gus bent the corners of his eyes fiercely, but there was not much smile on his face, but there was an indescribable joy in his voice: "Of course it's... a joke!"

North said: "It's just these few places that will become chaotic. At that time, adding a fire will be enough." Gash tapped his hand, then picked it up and shook his fingers, "Ah... the city of Harta is already in chaos .”

Gass: "It won't be appeased easily, will it?"

North chuckled lightly, and his voice was indescribably cold: "Of course not. Because the people involved, besides us, are the Kling Kingdom. Even if something goes wrong, they will deal with it themselves. Do what we should do well. That's what you do."

He looked at the moody and abnormal North in front of him, glanced at his conspicuous scar, then stopped looking, finally sighed in his heart, and then hated the Duke of Eaton heavier.

serf.

Ah.

He will always remember that time, and it becomes clearer as time goes by.

The author has something to say:

I suddenly feel that the first few chapters have said a lot

Covering my face in embarrassment X﹏X
