When Athena fell in love with Diana

"Qing Han, what is this?" The general looked at the object handed over by the black-haired girl in surprise, a wooden thing as thick as a finger.

The black-haired girl turned her head, twisted off the lid-like thing with her hand, and then twisted her fingers under the object, a section of pale yellow solidification popped out abruptly.Then, while the general was still immersed in this strange change, the black-haired girl raised the light yellow columnar solidification, aimed at the general's lips, and wiped it.

A scent of flowers flowed from his lips into his throat. The general was amazed at how it moisturized his chapped lips, and at the same time admired the cute expression of the black-haired girl. She was flushed and uncomfortable, but she was staring at her intently. looking at his lips.

I swear, this is definitely the first time I'm thankful for this dry and cold weather.

The general happily enjoyed the service of the black-haired girl, staring contentedly at that lovely cheek until the warm touch left his red lips.

How strange that I thought the touch of the pale yellow object was the touch of the child's fingers!

Turning her head away because of the discomfort of being stared at, the black-haired girl who was picking up the light yellow object did not see General Rhodes blushing for a moment.

The black-haired girl who had finished tidying up did not wait for General Rhodes to express her thoughts. She stuck herself to the wall of the bedroom door and sat down on the ground. This posture undoubtedly meant that she wanted to spend the night like this.

"I'm very happy, Qinghan, you protect me, even my lips." She said, she was glanced at by the black-haired girl, then closed her eyes and hugged her chest.

Should I let her stay here?As she pondered, she saw the black-haired girl put the leather bag behind her back.According to the usual practice, I absolutely don't allow it. How can a person who hasn't met for a day share a room?This is really stupid enough for a general who has experienced many battles.but……

but what?She asked herself, but there was no answer, she just felt that she wanted the girl to stay with her, even if it was a risk.

After thinking twice, she made a decision.

I've always slept lightly, she told herself, and I'm sure she wouldn't pose a threat to me in that regard, not to mention, even if she were an elite fighter from Isli.

But... for some reason, I never felt the slightest bit suspicious?

"Qinghan intends to stay? Protect me?" She asked, noticing that the other party nodded.

She really planned to sleep against the wall for one night like this.General Rhodes thought to himself, "You don't plan to share the bed with me?"

Unsurprisingly, the girl gave her a hard look.

General Rhodes chuckled, took a thick fur blanket from the huge bed, picked two more cushions, and handed them to the black-haired girl.

Seeing the unique bewilderment on the girl's face, "There are still many, so Qinghan is welcome."

The girl lowered her head, staring fixedly at the blanket cushion that was taken over and rested on her lap, with no expression on her face.

"Good night, Qinghan."

General Rhodes returned to the bed and looked at the ceiling.Countless old things flashed through her mind, she shook her head slightly, forcing herself to suppress those heavy thoughts.

It's better to go to bed early. It's a big deal. I have to wait until tomorrow to see it with my own eyes before making a conclusion.Tonight, I will enjoy this alone rest... No, not alone.This is really strange, I don't know if I can fall asleep with peace of mind?

She fell asleep immediately.

"This is nonsense!" Chris roared, and the elegant lieutenant's face was flushed at the moment, full of anger. "As long as you fail, crying and begging someone else to replace you, those bastards in the Senate will do anything!"

"I reckon, they would rather I not go back." The general said bitterly, "I can't say that I can't handle this kind of 'little accident'." She quoted Rhodes' first consul——Luck Silk's exact words about the situation in the Northlands.

"It's a small accident!" Her senior lieutenant was furious, "If Luxela really thinks this is a small accident, then she will simply become crazy! Now we are alone, with only three regiments. Including that ally, the force is only 5 to [-], defending the entire northern land, and blocking the Baro army, which is reported to have a strength of [-]? It is suicide!"

"It is indeed a suicide mission - in Roland's words, my political enemies are looking forward to this." Referring to the ally of the Senate and the famous orator, Galadia looked solemn, "Chief The elders are unable to influence the voting results as they wish, which shows that they will not hesitate to sacrifice Rhodes' interests in order to bring me down."

Chris shook his head, closed his eyes, and remembered the nightmarish meeting in the Senate.

The minor consul who was second only to the first consul, Valls, received a report from the governor of Suhada, the northern province of Rhodes, so a meeting was held.Valls took the report written three months ago and read it to the Senate.

"Generally speaking," his dry voice sounded muffled, "the Barrows have broken the peace treaty again and plan to attack our allies. Those of you who are present in the Senate, such actions will seriously threaten our northern gateway. The northern province of Suhada, as well as the neighboring Asia, have raw materials for our army weapons, timber, and minerals. Almost all of these combat materials come from the north. Asia also has the first port in the north. Everyone, we must act .”

There was an uproar on the seat.

Finally, an elder stood up from his seat and announced, "Indeed, this kind of behavior deserves our attention. I propose that we send a team of investigators and make a decision after confirming the gaffe. After all, we still have a relationship with the Baro people." Peace treaty, if the Barrows only attack Isli and Syfed, we will only break our promise if we act rashly."

"What a treachery!"

A voice jumped out from the row seat.The speaker stood up, but her short stature was in sharp contrast to the angry voice. "Everyone in the Senate, please listen to me. Sending an investigation team is undoubtedly a wolf's mouth! Didn't we already know the behavior of the northern barbarians? Didn't we have peace treaties with them several times? The result? They were all Torn up! And! Everyone, please don’t forget that although Isli and Syfed are barbarians, they also have an alliance with us! They are allies who have never broken their trust! This time, we will send an investigation team again, However, it is an investigation team composed of soldiers, guarding its own territory and the various northern dependent countries, because—regardless of the investigation or not, I can guarantee—Baro King Card will definitely attack our northern province."

After finishing speaking, the hall was full of turmoil, whether the elders or the consuls were vying to express their opinions. In the end, Grand Consul Lacus, relying on the strength she was proud of, hit the ground with her favorite meteor hammer , shocked all the quarreling people.

"Dear Consul, Lord Luxela, can you allow me to speak?" Someone asked, and the voice was immediately recognized as the Chief Elder - Havad Roland.

With approval, Hawad took a big stride and came to the center of the senate's large courtyard. He took a moment to sort out the toga robes on his body - the clothes with long drape are the standard attire for members of the senate on formal occasions.Under the watchful eyes of all the members of the Senate, he made a pose.Of course, his friends knew that this was his habitual means of attracting attention.

"Respected elders and consuls," he slowly swept across the crowd, "I agree with Lord Ugara, we can no longer let Kad of Baro do whatever he wants, if they have the ability to consolidate the Baro Empire, then they will Able to pose a threat to our surrounding territories! We must not tolerate such scourges, let alone indulge in traitors, waste our precious time, and send a team of gentle diplomats. But we must not act rashly, because there is still hope, only There is a glimmer of hope for the Baro people before they extend their claws to our northern province, and send troops to stop them. As Lord Gala said, our approach should be to send troops prudently, mainly as a means of deterrence. It is possible to put an end to the actual conflict, and it may not cause any casualties for a while... But I believe that these are only for a while, and in the end, what should happen will still happen, but at least, that is, we have the troops in our hands to fight an immediate battle ah."

"The chief senator is really old-fashioned." Valls said, "It sounds reasonable, and I will express my support first. Senators, is there any objection? Or have a better plan? In any case, I hope to hear the big The opinion of the consul Sera-sama."

The Grand Consul waved the huge meteor hammer, and praised with a soft voice that didn't match the huge weapon: "It's a very good idea, the Roland family really has a wise man! But, who will lead the army?"

As soon as the words fell, there was another quarrel in the hall of the senate, but the chief senator who was the fuse slowly returned to his seat and smiled at the person on his left.

"Ah, Lord Roland, even after fighting for a long time in the thick of powder, your brain is still not half dull."
