[Blood] Shura's Castle
Chapter 8? ——Whether everything you have been convinced is a lie in the end.
, the Duke has been negotiating and planning.
With former collaborators, current collaborators, neutrals, and all possible forces.
She cannot lose, she is the person standing on the cloud, she is the politician in the center of the whirlpool.Others lose, but it is very painful, they will be retaliated, they will be hit, but they can still live, and maybe there is a chance to do it again.
However, she is different.Just like countless times when wars raged, what she faced was a multiple-choice question of life and death.If she loses, no one will give her another chance.
For herself, she cannot lose.
For her dead parents, she can't lose.
For the lover she swore to protect, she couldn't lose.
And what about Leng Xing?
Leng Xing was also very wronged.
I just confessed to you a few days ago, the person who has always been tender and sweet, suddenly disappeared.
She doesn't answer the phone, and doesn't see anyone. All she can receive every day is a text message, indicating that her lover is still on earth.
She knew how dangerous what she was going to do next was, but she couldn't do anything about it.
And, as a student, she had to face the end-of-semester challenge that every student faces - exams.
Physical and mental exhaustion is the best portrayal of her. Even if she feels like throwing up after reading a book, she is so dizzy that she seems to faint at any time, she can't stop.
The past years have taught her that she can only rely on herself at all times.She can't help the Duke, so she can only do her best to do her own thing well and don't cause her any more trouble.
Therefore, she restrained her inner thoughts from disturbing her.
Therefore, she suppressed the almost crazy fear and tried to pretend to be indifferent.
When she saw that tall figure appearing in front of her eyes, she felt that she had never been so relieved, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.She is okay, she lacks nothing, lacks everything, and is still the complete Duke.
However, she actually took her worry as "mediocrity"?
Leng Xing didn't want to say anything more, explanations were all futile, she collapsed after being tense for so long.
Seeing that the Duke was carrying her bag and turning around to leave without realizing it, Leng Xing became anxious: "Wait a minute."
The Duke gave her a surprised look.
Are you coming to Ken to talk to me now?
"My bag." She snatched her things and was about to leave again.
The Duke grabbed her by the arm.
"What happened to you?"
Leng Xing stared at her stubbornly, trying to shake off her confinement, but the Duke controlled his strength very well, without hurting Leng Xing in the slightest, and made her unable to break free.
"It was fine just now, but in a blink of an eye, you didn't pay attention to what you said, and you have been like this. How is it now, finally willing to talk to me for a bag?"
"Why are you so inexplicable, you even want to eat a bag of vinegar!" She looked at the Duke angrily, "I'm angry because you didn't consider my feelings at all!"
"I didn't take your feelings into account?" repeated the Duke, sarcastically. "That's the funniest thing in the world!"
Even though she was exhausted from dealing with so many politicians, she never forgot to send her a text message to say good night. She even turned down her job and disappeared. No one knew where she was but Leng Xing knew.Because she came to see her as soon as everything was done!This is "not considering her feelings at all"!
If she doesn't consider her feelings, there's no need to come to her when she's so tired. It's fine if she washes up and sleeps!
"You don't even know how worried I am! You've disappeared for so long, it's like you've evaporated! If it weren't for those two text messages, I would have thought something happened to you! I'm still taking the exam! You still have to Don’t want me to review?! Do you want me to take the exam! Do you want me to go to the exam room in fear, and then answer the questions while wondering what you will look like? It’s just mediocre!”
She was so angry that her lungs were going to explode.
"When have you ever seen me bothering others?! I never think so much about what I have!"
Leng Xing broke out, but the Duke calmed down instead.
She didn't speak, but walked slowly towards Leng Xing.
In the dark night, the blue eyes are extremely bright and eye-catching, like the North Star in the sky.
The Duke held Leng Xing's face in his hands, lowered his head, and the distance between their lips was only one finger.
"Baby, if I don't care about your feelings, there's no need to text you good night, and I won't come to you. I'm not very emotional."
No one cared about them since childhood, some were just in awe or admiration, some were just dealing with interests and using each other, growing up among intriguing rulers, how much affection can you expect the Duke to have?How can she be expected to express herself?The only thing she can do is to be as "useful" as possible.
Because this is the element of survival, the standard to measure whether one is qualified to exist.
Listen to Leng Xing tell his feelings.
Buy her what she likes and wants.
Leng Xing would do whatever she asked her to do, and if she told her not to hide it from herself, she would try to say as much as possible, but after all, she would not reveal her inner character.
Besides, she didn't want Leng Xing to worry, but she still had to worry after all.
There is a warm touch on the cheek, but...
It was pitch black all around, and there was no silver light.
"how did you do that?"
The anger in Leng Xing's heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
Because she felt the temperature of the Duke's palm, because she knew that she was afraid of the cold, so she would not let her feel the cold.
How could she not care about her own feelings when she paid attention to such small details all the time.
A river of guilt surged in her heart.
It was she who ignored it, and her feelings were right.
What is a little exam week compared to the problems and struggles of life and death?
She kept thinking, don't cause trouble for her, but in the end she still made trouble for no reason, and let her comfort herself.
It would have been impatient to change someone.
Leng Xing suddenly remembered that when she kept educating the Duke about the basics of constellations, the Duke finally couldn't stand it any longer and took her cell phone to look it up by himself.
"Don't disturb her when she's working, be considerate..."
"If she says she's busy, don't get angry with her..."
"She is not material, she just needs a sense of security, so she will spend money carefully..."
"Baby, seriously, you better stop watching this."
"Why?"
"Although I have never been in a relationship, I think that all these busy things, the need for material things, the need for consideration, etc. are all excuses. If a person really loves you, he will not let you be wronged but turn a blind eye, nor will he Even though he has a lot of money, he is stingy to you, and he will not deliberately torture you with indifference. If he really loves you, he will not have time or money. As long as you want to do it, you can do it. "
The very busy Duke will still come to accompany her.
The very tired Duke will still comfort her.
The duke, who is very concerned about the benefits, spends money on her like burning paper, and doesn't feel bad at all.
"If you want to do it, you can do it."
There is also the same warm touch between the lips, there is no winter cold, only endless tenderness wraps itself.
"Go home, I won't go back to the dormitory."
Because I want to be with you.
The author has something to say: If a person keeps yelling that this can’t be done, that can’t be done, maybe it’s just an excuse, it’s just that they don’t love enough, they just don’t want to do it, it’s not that they can’t do it.
Chapter 45 Exam Week (Part [-])
Compared with the madness of the previous few days, Leng Xing's life is much better these days.
After the most hated English test, military science and chemistry are a piece of cake. The fly in the ointment is that chemistry has to be tested in English.
But the Duke seems to have a very calming aura. Under the influence of her calm and calm attitude, Leng Xing's test anxiety has been relieved a lot.
Since the Duke can continue to think rationally to strive for the greatest chance of winning in the face of life and death challenges, then why should she not be calm.If it was just a small test that broke her, she herself would feel that she was not worthy of the Duke.
A rational person is not scary, but a person who is always jumping is only scary when he is rational.
In the English test on January 1, except for the poor listening comprehension, everything else was excellent.
After the military examination on January 1, Leng Xing was so excited that he wanted to celebrate with champagne.
"It's so simple!" She shook the Duke, as if a spring was doing simple harmonic motion, "Do you know how clever I am! They don't allow you to take out materials, but I still bring them in!"
"Ah?" The Duke was startled, "Didn't you get caught for cheating?"
The Duke also mixed into human society as a student.In her cognition, bringing in things that are "not allowed" is undoubtedly cheating.
"How could I be arrested if I'm so smart!" Leng Xing beamed, "They didn't let them take it in, so I spent two hours cutting the keyword index into small pieces and pasting them in the book! Because the exam only needs to be flipped." The first half of the book, so I posted those materials in the second half of the book! What if the teacher sees the 'prohibited items' I posted when I was flipping through the book and copying the answers?"
"You really..." The Duke smiled and pinched her nose.
"The boy next to me... wrote a whole three pages of handwritten notes on 16K paper. I don't know how much time I spent on it. I only spent two hours, and I answered all the questions! He still has half a sheet Where's the test paper!" With a beaming look and a smug expression.
"Good job baby."
The Duke didn't blame her for her opportunistic behavior, on the contrary, she gave her a big hug.
Who made the Duke a politician? What she wants is the result, but the process?It doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved.
"I thought you would blame me for being opportunistic." Leng Xing leaned on her shoulder, his voice soft.
"No, I never stick to these."
If she had been confronting the enemy head-to-head in an open and aboveboard manner, she would have died countless times.Whether it is military warfare or political struggle, everything has always been used to the extreme. There is no light and darkness, only winners and losers.
Leng Xing is not such a person who has no "sense of justice", but she feels that wasting time on such boring subjects and spending a lot of time memorizing things that may never be used in the future is better than spending more time on professional courses , so as not to know how to start saving someone someday.
"We are medical students. Even if we go to the battlefield in the future, we will definitely be military doctors, and we are not soldiers. Why waste time on this?"
She speaks plausibly and brainwashes the people around her countless times.Under her influence, the military science class, which was not attended very much, fell into a miserable situation where no one listened to the lectures.Some people began to skip classes, some people fell asleep, and some people slipped out in the middle of the class. She even dragged a little friend out to play roller skating with her during the break in the middle of a certain class. Of course, she was not caught.
Leng Xing, a pragmatist, and Lord Duke, who only pays attention to the result and not the means, are a perfect match.
On January 1, after she finished her chemistry exam, she fell into anxiety again.
Because three days later is the nightmarish high number.
If I remember correctly, she basically never listened to the advanced mathematics class before.It's not that she doesn't attend work on time, it's because she really can't resist the powerful hypnotic power contained in the dry voice of the high mathematics teacher reading the PPT.That horrible monotonous sound is like the electrocardiogram of a dead patient, a stiff straight line, enough to make her electrocardiogram become such a stiff straight line, or fall asleep like inhaling ether, and then sleepy after the class is over Waking up with symptoms such as a stiff neck and tingling thighs.
"What should I do? I can't do high math at all!"
Leng Xing stared at the advanced mathematics textbook with a resentful expression.
Even if she is a child prodigy, she can't do it if she hasn't learned it at all!
"Your textbook."
The Duke stretched out his hand unmoved.
"It's very simple." She flipped through Leng Xing's textbook, disapproving, "The advanced medical mathematics you learned is already the easiest among advanced mathematics."
"As if you've learned..." she muttered dissatisfied.
"Well, I have learned it." A cold palm stroked her hair, "Statistics, linear algebra and so on."
"Wait... What are you studying? Aren't you a blood race?"
She was really shocked.The duke seems to have said "linear algebra"? !
"Can't blood people learn? I know a lot." The Duke seemed unhappy, "Baby, do you think I'm so ignorant?"
"That's not what I meant... just a little surprised. Well, you said statistics, linear algebra... Could it be that you majored in finance?"
She remembered the fact that the Duke also ran the company.
"Bingo!"
The Duke smiled like a kid who was praised.
"Yeah! Finally saved! I love you so much!"
Leng Xing hugged the Lord Duke, rubbing and rubbing, just like a cat.
"I didn't expect that the first time you said you loved me was because of this." Aggrieved voice.
"I still care about this..." Leng Xing laughed dumbly, she stretched out her hand and deliberately rubbed the Duke's hair into a mess, as if teasing a kitten, "Although I don't mention it, it will always be in my heart."
After finishing speaking, he gave her a "you understand" look.
The Duke raised his hand and smoothed his messy hair.Although the image was destroyed, it was not angry at all.
She seems indifferent and arrogant, but in fact she is sensitive and careful.
Leng Xing is not good at comforting others because her brain is too rational, and every time she will directly give a solution to the problem instead of listening to others complain, but it does not mean that she is not good at penetrating people's emotions.
This is true for others, let alone the duke she deeply likes?
"Then let's take a look at the high numbers that you have a headache now." The Duke's hand gently brushed over her shoulder, holding up a pen.
"Are you left-handed?"
"Hmm." The Duke wrote a few words with the pen and threw it away, frowning slightly.
"It doesn't feel right."
"What do you mean?"
"It's too light and has no texture at all."
She looked at the gel pen with distaste, as if she were looking at a stick of chewing gum on the polished floor.
"Wait, I'll go back and get my pen."
After finishing speaking, the Duke stood up, flicked his clothes gracefully, and disappeared.
After the duke came over with his pen, Leng Xing understood the true meaning of "no texture at all".
In her hand is a heavy Chinese lacquer pen, red and gold are intertwined like flame-like dancing patterns, but on the cap of the pen is a radiant golden sun wheel.
"STDupont?" She glanced at the nib, which had an ornate curlicue capital D on it.
Leng Xing hadn't used a fountain pen for a long time, but he came from a business family and was used to seeing good things.Besides, DuPont is her father's favorite, and her house is full of all kinds of lighters.
"Good eyesight. Can you tell which one it is?"
"Hmm...it's a limited edition imitating the Montparnasse series, the sun in 1999, right?"
"correct."
The Duke picked up the pen and wrote a few words at random.Although the pen has not been used for several days, it is still very smooth in the water.
"and many more……"
"Huh?" He looked at her inexplicably.
Leng Xing pointed at his temple and recalled——
"The takeaway was delivered by you!"
"Huh?" the Duke looked up.
"Your handwriting!" He snatched the draft paper from the duke's hand, "Even if you don't leave any identity behind, handwriting can't deceive people! Your handwriting, and the note on the takeaway that was sent to me The words are exactly the same! No wonder the portion is so big, I don’t feel sorry for the money at all. And I looked carefully, except for sundaes and cones, there are everything in it, because...you don’t know what I like to eat, right? So , just to be on the safe side, you bought everything. However, you are afraid that I will not be full if I only eat a few of them, so the portion of each item can basically fill me up!"
Such a generous takeaway really shocked her at the time, and her roommates were also shocked when she took it back to the dormitory.After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out who it was, because... to buy so many things, the money alone was a lot of money. She couldn't think of anyone she knew who was so extravagant, or in other words, was so extravagant to her.
"Well, so? Then why no sundaes and cones?"
The Duke admired secretly in his heart, but continued to ask calmly.
"Because...it's not easy to handle, right? No, the cone is not easy to handle, but the sundae is fine. Because it's winter, right!"
"En." Nodding slightly, her baby is indeed the smartest.Her intentions were clearly figured out by her.
"One more thing." The Duke added, "Even in summer, I won't buy cold drinks, it's not good for my stomach."
"But... why is it such a coincidence? I just didn't eat that day..." Leng Xing tilted his head in thought.
"Didn't you say you want to review?"
The Duke quickly changed the subject.She can see the mystery of a small takeaway, and if Leng Xing continues to think about it, the fact that he sent someone to follow her all day will probably be exposed to the sun soon.
"Okay, but...that day seems to be...by the way, I also met a beautiful woman, just at noon that day."
"Beauty?" The Duke raised his eyebrows and raised his tone.
"That's right, he's a foreign student. He has blond hair, chocolate eyes, and a tall figure. He looks like a sister next door, but I don't know why his eyes are so cold..."
She understood, it was Alice.
Thinking of Alice being described by her as "like a sister next door but with very cold eyes", for some reason, the Duke wanted to laugh.
It's over, and the laughter is lowered.
"Well, then what?" She wondered what her subordinates did.
"Uh...that..." Leng Xing suddenly remembered that he vomited so badly at noon that day, forget it, it's better not to talk about it.
"What happened?" The Duke's tone was gentle, but his attitude was obviously unrelenting, and he must know.
"Let's not talk about it, let's review and review." Leng Xing perfunctory.
The Duke gave her a dissatisfied look: "Well, you can review it yourself."
After all, I picked up another thing I brought - a whole box of Faber-Castell watercolor pencils, and prepared to start drawing.
"Ah?! You won't tell me how I review?"
The Duke glanced at her: "You don't tell me what I want to know, why should I tell you what you want to know?"
After that, he picked up a pencil with his slender fingers and began to draw the outline on the paper.
"What a cheapskate, ignore you."
"Then don't bother, don't bother if you have the ability."
The Duke's tone was flat, but he glared at her.
"I said I said, I said it's okay."
Seeing the duke's complexion turned sour, Leng Xing knew that his slightly joking words were taken seriously by the duke who couldn't joke about relationship problems, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.
Seeing her dog-legged appearance, the Duke looked at her expressionlessly even though he wanted to laugh a little.
"That's what you asked me to say."
"Hmm." You didn't say what was going on for a long time.
The Duke's appetite was so high that she had already begun to silently wonder if it was some "rival in love".
"The truth is, I had a stomachache that day and she helped me."
Leng Xing summed up the tragic situation that day into words that didn't sound very lethal.
"Ah?" The Duke was slightly surprised, blaming himself for doubting her for no reason.
"So, that's it, otherwise what do you think it is?"
I just didn't want you to worry so I didn't say it, and it's not something shameful.
After telling the truth, Leng Xing became a little angry.
You cheapskate, you still irritate me like this, you don't say anything when you threaten people, and you still stare at me!
Thinking of this, she pinched the Duke's waist.
The Duke had been prepared for a long time and hurriedly avoided her claws, but the pencil "squeaked" from the paper, ruining the outline he had just drawn.
"I thought..." she stammered, "I didn't think why, I just wasn't very happy not to tell you."
His eyes dodged, and he knew that he was perfunctory at a glance.
"I guess, you thought something similar to 'rival in love' happened."
Leng Xing picked it up unceremoniously, and the Duke even pretended to be an invisible man, silently took a new piece of paper and started from scratch, without answering any questions.
"I don't want to be angry because of you. Everyone will be jealous sometimes." Although you are not human.She silently added in her heart. "Because you like me, you care about these things. But... there's no need to be jealous for everything. A few days ago, I even ate a package of jealousy."
"Not at all," she whispered, "I'm just because you ignore me for a long time...and I'm not jealous of everything."
"Well, if you don't have it, you don't have it. It's just, why are you jealous? Do you like me? But, if I like you, then I'm yours and I won't leave. You don't need to be jealous like an enemy. If It's useless to be jealous if I don't like you."
"So, do you like it or not?" She looked at Leng Xing expectantly.
"What an idiot." Leng Xing knocked her on the head.
The Duke didn't speak, and lowered his head again, as if he had been wronged.
"Oh..." Seeing that she took her teasing seriously again, Leng Xing hurriedly hugged her tightly to comfort her, "Of course I like it. I like you, I like you, I like you."
"did not hear it."
"I like you, I like you, I like you!" repeated again, in different tones.
"Still haven't heard."
"You...huh, if you didn't hear it, you didn't hear it, so don't say it."
Leng Xing's voice was a little annoyed, and then she saw the Duke smiling.
Sure enough, he was teasing her, what a cheapskate who "holds vengeance".If I teased her, she must tease her back.
"You're going to give me a lecture!" Leng Xing started to shake her again, "I've told you about things, and you've said what you like, so you should tell me. Besides, you didn't reply at all!"
The Duke kissed her: "Is this okay?"
"The focus is on the topic!"
She punched the Duke lightly and thrust the pen into her hand.
"it is good."
The warm wall lamp cast a yellowish halo, covering the two of them, and there were silhouettes cuddling up on the ground, sometimes laughing and playing.
Looking at Leng Xing's happy smile, the Duke pursed his thin lips tightly.
There is no problem with your exam.How can I pass my exam?This life and death battle.
Outside the window is the chilling winter, and the branches with no leaves, trying to grow towards the dark sky.
It was the girl in the room who hadn't noticed it, and was covered by the warm halo, the wind that was temporarily silent but would eventually come with a biting breath.
The author has something to say: The computer is blacked out five times a month, what should I do?
I will soon be able to repair computers myself, so I just go to Taobao to buy a set of repair tools, stop studying medicine, and change careers to become a repairman...
Chapter 46 Return (Part [-])
I don't want to be back to back with you, that would be an equatorial distance away.
- Leng Xing
The location of the Presbyterian Church of the Fanzhuo Family, and the temporary office of the military department.
"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"
The sound of the phone vibrating.
The owner of the phone stretched out her hand to pick up the golden iPhone 5S, looking at the familiar number on the screen, she slid to unlock it, and Leng Xing's voice came from the receiver immediately.
"Where are you?"
"Military Department." Short answer.
"Come and give us a lecture—" Hearing the eager voice of the other party, a doting smile appeared on the corner of the Duke's lips, and he replied softly, "Okay, wait for me for half an hour."
"Is it your boyfriend?"
"Let's meet soon!"
Just when she was about to press the hang up button, a voice that did not belong to Leng Xing came from the receiver.
"that……"
Leng Xing's voice was a little flustered, faltering.
After hanging up the phone, she unscrewed the cap of the pen and signed the document in front of her.
"Your Highness."
It was a staff member of the Vatican Military Department, who hurried in, presumably looking for her to ask for documents.
"Take it to His Royal Highness Prince Proseus."
The Duke closed the pen cap, and the Chinese lacquer pen with the maple leaf pattern was turning back and forth between his white fingers.She stretched out her hand, and the silver light flowed between her fingers.
The seal was released, and she picked up the next document and began to read it.
Is the Presbyterian Church about to get involved in military power?
Holding the thin document, she subconsciously pursed her lips.
"As ordered, Your Highness."
The blood race in front of them generally disappeared. After the incident of Proseus destroying the military headquarters, they became frightened birds. They were afraid that if they did something wrong, they would offend the tyrannical Prince.
The Duke unscrewed the cap of the pen again, and the tip of the pen stayed within an inch of the paper, and she fell into deep thought.
Does it have to be a violent coup?
But, but!
The political situation... must not be chaotic.
three days ago.
On January 2014, 1, the missing Duke was finally found by her Praetorians.
But it was ridiculous to say that the Duke, who had always behaved elegantly and steadily, was found shaking with his wine glass, looking like he was about to fall down at any time.
Her eyes were blurred and her consciousness was blurred. She whispered to the guard soldiers, as if she was saying something mysterious: "Father, hello... I caught him... Mars... the traitor who wanted to kill my father , I have executed him..."
In addition to the Praetorian Guards, there were also guards sent by Proseus from the military headquarters that night.
This absurd scene spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the Fanzhuo family.
But unexpectedly, people pointed their finger at Prince Proseus instead of the Duke Rose, who had disappeared due to malfeasance and got drunk.
For a long time, the operation of the machines in the Vanjo military headquarters has been supported by the Duke alone.Although Prosius was the head of the military department, he was never willing to properly review documents. Almost all the work was done by the Duke, while he inspected the troops around and practiced continuously, exhausting the Vanjo soldiers.
"I won't read those meaningless rubbish! The army should train well!"
The day and night training made the soldiers extremely dissatisfied, and the Duke was dealing with a lot of documents alone, and he was so tired that he almost vomited blood. All the staff felt distressed.It's no wonder that she quit her business these days, because Proseus hasn't appeared in the military headquarters for at least a month.
"It's all because Proseus left all the work to His Royal Highness Qiangwei!"
"My lord duke has always worked diligently, and will never dereliction of duty as they said, it must be slander!"
"Exactly! Exactly! Your Excellency the Duke is the best!"
"She is the one who gave us the upper hand in the Emerald City Agreement!"
"I heard from my brother that Proseus drilled the army day and night, and the soldiers wanted to mutiny!"
"Shh... it's better not to talk about the affairs of the military department."
Although Duke Rose was deprived of most of his military power by His Royal Highness Prince Proseus due to dereliction of duty, public opinion undoubtedly turned towards her.
And there is no doubt that Proseus was furious when he heard the news: "Is it reasonable for her to neglect her duties?! Even if she is my daughter and a hero of Fanzhuo, she can't ignore the law!"
Although he was very angry that the Duke was missing and not working, which caused the military machinery to stop working, but in fact——
What really made Proseus angry was not this matter, but the words that the Duke said in a daze.
"Father, hello... I caught him... Mars... the traitor who wanted to kill my father, I have executed him..."
The protagonist in the story, the Grand Duke of Mars, a senior general of the military department, and the captain of the Imperial Guard of His Royal Highness Prince Proseus, disappeared a few days ago, just like the dereliction of duty Duke Rose, and he is still missing.
This sentence undoubtedly detonated the bomb, and people speculated whether Mars had been killed by the Duke of Rose.Of course, whether Proseus ordered is the key point.
For a while, rumors spread.
Prince Proseus had a splitting headache and summoned the Duke to his manor shortly after he woke up.
"What is it, father?"
The duke played it realistically.With a blank face, she lowered her head and stood in front of Proseus.
"Qiangwei, what are you doing?!"
Proseus squeezed out words through his teeth, his facial features twisted ferociously.
"What do you mean?"
Like a robot, she had her hands hanging by her sides, her long black hair covering her eyes.
Seeing that she still remained unmoved, Proseus suddenly felt all the blood rushing to the top of his head.His usual ice-cold image completely collapsed. In the study room where only the two of them faced each other, he roared, "What's the matter?! Dereliction of duty, drunkenness, and inexplicable words! Think about how you can explain it!"
"As my father said, I was in a bad mood, so I left work and had a few drinks. I accidentally got drunk, so I don't know what I said."
Her tone of voice was steady.
"I apologize to you for my actions, father."
She bowed deeply towards Proseus, the corners of her robe flew up, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
He couldn't see, the moment the Duke lowered his head towards him, he gritted his teeth secretly.
The hatred in the blue eyes rolled and roared.
You wait, Proseus.
"Okay, get up straight. The past is over, and I have already punished." Proseus said, staring at the Duke intently. "After all, you are my daughter."
He was testing her to see if her memory came back.
After that coup d'état, the Duke actually called his father to him, and even hid his true appearance.He was puzzled at first, but after checking her body, he found that there was a living body seal on her body.
It was her brother who sealed her memory, making her think he was her father.
As for the appearance, it may be to cover up the fact that the Duke is a mixed blood of Vanjo and Zmisch.After all, silver hair is a unique symbol of the Duke's mother's family, the Yard family.
Forget it, then treat it as your own daughter.Proseus thought so, after all, she is also Daphne's daughter.
However, time passed, and the Duke was no longer that innocent girl.The flames of war that spread everywhere made her grow up rapidly, and she... became more and more like her real father, his elder brother, Apollo, the former chief elder of the Presbyterian Church known as the Prince of the Sun.
Like her father, she is as dazzling as the sun, always reminding Proseus who is like a high-ranking emperor when he is trampled on like a dog by other blood races, who is the only one who loves him in this life When he was a crazy person, he turned her into his wife through political means.It is he, Apollo, his brother!
The person he once loved the most, and the person he has hated the most since.
"Yes, father."
The Duke raised his head and looked at him fixedly, with a hint of remorse in his eyes.
"Do what you have to do."
Proseus withdrew from his memory and lit a cigarette.Immediately, sparks flashed, and light blue smoke engulfed.
In the pitch-black manor, only the red flames of cigarettes flickered.
"Yes, father."
She bowed and bid farewell to Proseus, her black robe fluttering, and she strode out of his manor.
However, this incident was far from ending because of the mutual temptation between the two.
At the elders meeting, following the incident of Proseus destroying the military headquarters, some elders began to attack the head of the military department.
The theme this time is that Proseus' lax discipline of his subordinates caused political turmoil and internal chaos in the army.
It was because of the bewildering words of Duke Rose that the generals under Mars were extremely dissatisfied with Proseus, the head of the military department, but feared by Proseus' power, they could only make some small moves secretly.However, this made the army more chaotic and exacerbated factional fighting within the Ventrue army.
Although the elders hope that the army is not monolithic, which is conducive to control, the serious internal turmoil in the army will bring disaster to the internal affairs, and even threaten the status of the Vanjo family as the ruler of Camarilla.Seeing this situation, especially the mutiny of Bruch's army and the occupation of the Vanjo Presbyterian Church by Zmisch militants not long ago, touched the nerves of the elders.After the mutiny of Bruch's army, out of concern about whether the Camarilla Council could operate normally, the chief elder ordered the military department to mobilize a large number of Vanjoy's elite troops to garrison the Camarilla Council, so he gave the Zmihi radicals, exactly
With former collaborators, current collaborators, neutrals, and all possible forces.
She cannot lose, she is the person standing on the cloud, she is the politician in the center of the whirlpool.Others lose, but it is very painful, they will be retaliated, they will be hit, but they can still live, and maybe there is a chance to do it again.
However, she is different.Just like countless times when wars raged, what she faced was a multiple-choice question of life and death.If she loses, no one will give her another chance.
For herself, she cannot lose.
For her dead parents, she can't lose.
For the lover she swore to protect, she couldn't lose.
And what about Leng Xing?
Leng Xing was also very wronged.
I just confessed to you a few days ago, the person who has always been tender and sweet, suddenly disappeared.
She doesn't answer the phone, and doesn't see anyone. All she can receive every day is a text message, indicating that her lover is still on earth.
She knew how dangerous what she was going to do next was, but she couldn't do anything about it.
And, as a student, she had to face the end-of-semester challenge that every student faces - exams.
Physical and mental exhaustion is the best portrayal of her. Even if she feels like throwing up after reading a book, she is so dizzy that she seems to faint at any time, she can't stop.
The past years have taught her that she can only rely on herself at all times.She can't help the Duke, so she can only do her best to do her own thing well and don't cause her any more trouble.
Therefore, she restrained her inner thoughts from disturbing her.
Therefore, she suppressed the almost crazy fear and tried to pretend to be indifferent.
When she saw that tall figure appearing in front of her eyes, she felt that she had never been so relieved, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.She is okay, she lacks nothing, lacks everything, and is still the complete Duke.
However, she actually took her worry as "mediocrity"?
Leng Xing didn't want to say anything more, explanations were all futile, she collapsed after being tense for so long.
Seeing that the Duke was carrying her bag and turning around to leave without realizing it, Leng Xing became anxious: "Wait a minute."
The Duke gave her a surprised look.
Are you coming to Ken to talk to me now?
"My bag." She snatched her things and was about to leave again.
The Duke grabbed her by the arm.
"What happened to you?"
Leng Xing stared at her stubbornly, trying to shake off her confinement, but the Duke controlled his strength very well, without hurting Leng Xing in the slightest, and made her unable to break free.
"It was fine just now, but in a blink of an eye, you didn't pay attention to what you said, and you have been like this. How is it now, finally willing to talk to me for a bag?"
"Why are you so inexplicable, you even want to eat a bag of vinegar!" She looked at the Duke angrily, "I'm angry because you didn't consider my feelings at all!"
"I didn't take your feelings into account?" repeated the Duke, sarcastically. "That's the funniest thing in the world!"
Even though she was exhausted from dealing with so many politicians, she never forgot to send her a text message to say good night. She even turned down her job and disappeared. No one knew where she was but Leng Xing knew.Because she came to see her as soon as everything was done!This is "not considering her feelings at all"!
If she doesn't consider her feelings, there's no need to come to her when she's so tired. It's fine if she washes up and sleeps!
"You don't even know how worried I am! You've disappeared for so long, it's like you've evaporated! If it weren't for those two text messages, I would have thought something happened to you! I'm still taking the exam! You still have to Don’t want me to review?! Do you want me to take the exam! Do you want me to go to the exam room in fear, and then answer the questions while wondering what you will look like? It’s just mediocre!”
She was so angry that her lungs were going to explode.
"When have you ever seen me bothering others?! I never think so much about what I have!"
Leng Xing broke out, but the Duke calmed down instead.
She didn't speak, but walked slowly towards Leng Xing.
In the dark night, the blue eyes are extremely bright and eye-catching, like the North Star in the sky.
The Duke held Leng Xing's face in his hands, lowered his head, and the distance between their lips was only one finger.
"Baby, if I don't care about your feelings, there's no need to text you good night, and I won't come to you. I'm not very emotional."
No one cared about them since childhood, some were just in awe or admiration, some were just dealing with interests and using each other, growing up among intriguing rulers, how much affection can you expect the Duke to have?How can she be expected to express herself?The only thing she can do is to be as "useful" as possible.
Because this is the element of survival, the standard to measure whether one is qualified to exist.
Listen to Leng Xing tell his feelings.
Buy her what she likes and wants.
Leng Xing would do whatever she asked her to do, and if she told her not to hide it from herself, she would try to say as much as possible, but after all, she would not reveal her inner character.
Besides, she didn't want Leng Xing to worry, but she still had to worry after all.
There is a warm touch on the cheek, but...
It was pitch black all around, and there was no silver light.
"how did you do that?"
The anger in Leng Xing's heart instantly disappeared without a trace.
Because she felt the temperature of the Duke's palm, because she knew that she was afraid of the cold, so she would not let her feel the cold.
How could she not care about her own feelings when she paid attention to such small details all the time.
A river of guilt surged in her heart.
It was she who ignored it, and her feelings were right.
What is a little exam week compared to the problems and struggles of life and death?
She kept thinking, don't cause trouble for her, but in the end she still made trouble for no reason, and let her comfort herself.
It would have been impatient to change someone.
Leng Xing suddenly remembered that when she kept educating the Duke about the basics of constellations, the Duke finally couldn't stand it any longer and took her cell phone to look it up by himself.
"Don't disturb her when she's working, be considerate..."
"If she says she's busy, don't get angry with her..."
"She is not material, she just needs a sense of security, so she will spend money carefully..."
"Baby, seriously, you better stop watching this."
"Why?"
"Although I have never been in a relationship, I think that all these busy things, the need for material things, the need for consideration, etc. are all excuses. If a person really loves you, he will not let you be wronged but turn a blind eye, nor will he Even though he has a lot of money, he is stingy to you, and he will not deliberately torture you with indifference. If he really loves you, he will not have time or money. As long as you want to do it, you can do it. "
The very busy Duke will still come to accompany her.
The very tired Duke will still comfort her.
The duke, who is very concerned about the benefits, spends money on her like burning paper, and doesn't feel bad at all.
"If you want to do it, you can do it."
There is also the same warm touch between the lips, there is no winter cold, only endless tenderness wraps itself.
"Go home, I won't go back to the dormitory."
Because I want to be with you.
The author has something to say: If a person keeps yelling that this can’t be done, that can’t be done, maybe it’s just an excuse, it’s just that they don’t love enough, they just don’t want to do it, it’s not that they can’t do it.
Chapter 45 Exam Week (Part [-])
Compared with the madness of the previous few days, Leng Xing's life is much better these days.
After the most hated English test, military science and chemistry are a piece of cake. The fly in the ointment is that chemistry has to be tested in English.
But the Duke seems to have a very calming aura. Under the influence of her calm and calm attitude, Leng Xing's test anxiety has been relieved a lot.
Since the Duke can continue to think rationally to strive for the greatest chance of winning in the face of life and death challenges, then why should she not be calm.If it was just a small test that broke her, she herself would feel that she was not worthy of the Duke.
A rational person is not scary, but a person who is always jumping is only scary when he is rational.
In the English test on January 1, except for the poor listening comprehension, everything else was excellent.
After the military examination on January 1, Leng Xing was so excited that he wanted to celebrate with champagne.
"It's so simple!" She shook the Duke, as if a spring was doing simple harmonic motion, "Do you know how clever I am! They don't allow you to take out materials, but I still bring them in!"
"Ah?" The Duke was startled, "Didn't you get caught for cheating?"
The Duke also mixed into human society as a student.In her cognition, bringing in things that are "not allowed" is undoubtedly cheating.
"How could I be arrested if I'm so smart!" Leng Xing beamed, "They didn't let them take it in, so I spent two hours cutting the keyword index into small pieces and pasting them in the book! Because the exam only needs to be flipped." The first half of the book, so I posted those materials in the second half of the book! What if the teacher sees the 'prohibited items' I posted when I was flipping through the book and copying the answers?"
"You really..." The Duke smiled and pinched her nose.
"The boy next to me... wrote a whole three pages of handwritten notes on 16K paper. I don't know how much time I spent on it. I only spent two hours, and I answered all the questions! He still has half a sheet Where's the test paper!" With a beaming look and a smug expression.
"Good job baby."
The Duke didn't blame her for her opportunistic behavior, on the contrary, she gave her a big hug.
Who made the Duke a politician? What she wants is the result, but the process?It doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved.
"I thought you would blame me for being opportunistic." Leng Xing leaned on her shoulder, his voice soft.
"No, I never stick to these."
If she had been confronting the enemy head-to-head in an open and aboveboard manner, she would have died countless times.Whether it is military warfare or political struggle, everything has always been used to the extreme. There is no light and darkness, only winners and losers.
Leng Xing is not such a person who has no "sense of justice", but she feels that wasting time on such boring subjects and spending a lot of time memorizing things that may never be used in the future is better than spending more time on professional courses , so as not to know how to start saving someone someday.
"We are medical students. Even if we go to the battlefield in the future, we will definitely be military doctors, and we are not soldiers. Why waste time on this?"
She speaks plausibly and brainwashes the people around her countless times.Under her influence, the military science class, which was not attended very much, fell into a miserable situation where no one listened to the lectures.Some people began to skip classes, some people fell asleep, and some people slipped out in the middle of the class. She even dragged a little friend out to play roller skating with her during the break in the middle of a certain class. Of course, she was not caught.
Leng Xing, a pragmatist, and Lord Duke, who only pays attention to the result and not the means, are a perfect match.
On January 1, after she finished her chemistry exam, she fell into anxiety again.
Because three days later is the nightmarish high number.
If I remember correctly, she basically never listened to the advanced mathematics class before.It's not that she doesn't attend work on time, it's because she really can't resist the powerful hypnotic power contained in the dry voice of the high mathematics teacher reading the PPT.That horrible monotonous sound is like the electrocardiogram of a dead patient, a stiff straight line, enough to make her electrocardiogram become such a stiff straight line, or fall asleep like inhaling ether, and then sleepy after the class is over Waking up with symptoms such as a stiff neck and tingling thighs.
"What should I do? I can't do high math at all!"
Leng Xing stared at the advanced mathematics textbook with a resentful expression.
Even if she is a child prodigy, she can't do it if she hasn't learned it at all!
"Your textbook."
The Duke stretched out his hand unmoved.
"It's very simple." She flipped through Leng Xing's textbook, disapproving, "The advanced medical mathematics you learned is already the easiest among advanced mathematics."
"As if you've learned..." she muttered dissatisfied.
"Well, I have learned it." A cold palm stroked her hair, "Statistics, linear algebra and so on."
"Wait... What are you studying? Aren't you a blood race?"
She was really shocked.The duke seems to have said "linear algebra"? !
"Can't blood people learn? I know a lot." The Duke seemed unhappy, "Baby, do you think I'm so ignorant?"
"That's not what I meant... just a little surprised. Well, you said statistics, linear algebra... Could it be that you majored in finance?"
She remembered the fact that the Duke also ran the company.
"Bingo!"
The Duke smiled like a kid who was praised.
"Yeah! Finally saved! I love you so much!"
Leng Xing hugged the Lord Duke, rubbing and rubbing, just like a cat.
"I didn't expect that the first time you said you loved me was because of this." Aggrieved voice.
"I still care about this..." Leng Xing laughed dumbly, she stretched out her hand and deliberately rubbed the Duke's hair into a mess, as if teasing a kitten, "Although I don't mention it, it will always be in my heart."
After finishing speaking, he gave her a "you understand" look.
The Duke raised his hand and smoothed his messy hair.Although the image was destroyed, it was not angry at all.
She seems indifferent and arrogant, but in fact she is sensitive and careful.
Leng Xing is not good at comforting others because her brain is too rational, and every time she will directly give a solution to the problem instead of listening to others complain, but it does not mean that she is not good at penetrating people's emotions.
This is true for others, let alone the duke she deeply likes?
"Then let's take a look at the high numbers that you have a headache now." The Duke's hand gently brushed over her shoulder, holding up a pen.
"Are you left-handed?"
"Hmm." The Duke wrote a few words with the pen and threw it away, frowning slightly.
"It doesn't feel right."
"What do you mean?"
"It's too light and has no texture at all."
She looked at the gel pen with distaste, as if she were looking at a stick of chewing gum on the polished floor.
"Wait, I'll go back and get my pen."
After finishing speaking, the Duke stood up, flicked his clothes gracefully, and disappeared.
After the duke came over with his pen, Leng Xing understood the true meaning of "no texture at all".
In her hand is a heavy Chinese lacquer pen, red and gold are intertwined like flame-like dancing patterns, but on the cap of the pen is a radiant golden sun wheel.
"STDupont?" She glanced at the nib, which had an ornate curlicue capital D on it.
Leng Xing hadn't used a fountain pen for a long time, but he came from a business family and was used to seeing good things.Besides, DuPont is her father's favorite, and her house is full of all kinds of lighters.
"Good eyesight. Can you tell which one it is?"
"Hmm...it's a limited edition imitating the Montparnasse series, the sun in 1999, right?"
"correct."
The Duke picked up the pen and wrote a few words at random.Although the pen has not been used for several days, it is still very smooth in the water.
"and many more……"
"Huh?" He looked at her inexplicably.
Leng Xing pointed at his temple and recalled——
"The takeaway was delivered by you!"
"Huh?" the Duke looked up.
"Your handwriting!" He snatched the draft paper from the duke's hand, "Even if you don't leave any identity behind, handwriting can't deceive people! Your handwriting, and the note on the takeaway that was sent to me The words are exactly the same! No wonder the portion is so big, I don’t feel sorry for the money at all. And I looked carefully, except for sundaes and cones, there are everything in it, because...you don’t know what I like to eat, right? So , just to be on the safe side, you bought everything. However, you are afraid that I will not be full if I only eat a few of them, so the portion of each item can basically fill me up!"
Such a generous takeaway really shocked her at the time, and her roommates were also shocked when she took it back to the dormitory.After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out who it was, because... to buy so many things, the money alone was a lot of money. She couldn't think of anyone she knew who was so extravagant, or in other words, was so extravagant to her.
"Well, so? Then why no sundaes and cones?"
The Duke admired secretly in his heart, but continued to ask calmly.
"Because...it's not easy to handle, right? No, the cone is not easy to handle, but the sundae is fine. Because it's winter, right!"
"En." Nodding slightly, her baby is indeed the smartest.Her intentions were clearly figured out by her.
"One more thing." The Duke added, "Even in summer, I won't buy cold drinks, it's not good for my stomach."
"But... why is it such a coincidence? I just didn't eat that day..." Leng Xing tilted his head in thought.
"Didn't you say you want to review?"
The Duke quickly changed the subject.She can see the mystery of a small takeaway, and if Leng Xing continues to think about it, the fact that he sent someone to follow her all day will probably be exposed to the sun soon.
"Okay, but...that day seems to be...by the way, I also met a beautiful woman, just at noon that day."
"Beauty?" The Duke raised his eyebrows and raised his tone.
"That's right, he's a foreign student. He has blond hair, chocolate eyes, and a tall figure. He looks like a sister next door, but I don't know why his eyes are so cold..."
She understood, it was Alice.
Thinking of Alice being described by her as "like a sister next door but with very cold eyes", for some reason, the Duke wanted to laugh.
It's over, and the laughter is lowered.
"Well, then what?" She wondered what her subordinates did.
"Uh...that..." Leng Xing suddenly remembered that he vomited so badly at noon that day, forget it, it's better not to talk about it.
"What happened?" The Duke's tone was gentle, but his attitude was obviously unrelenting, and he must know.
"Let's not talk about it, let's review and review." Leng Xing perfunctory.
The Duke gave her a dissatisfied look: "Well, you can review it yourself."
After all, I picked up another thing I brought - a whole box of Faber-Castell watercolor pencils, and prepared to start drawing.
"Ah?! You won't tell me how I review?"
The Duke glanced at her: "You don't tell me what I want to know, why should I tell you what you want to know?"
After that, he picked up a pencil with his slender fingers and began to draw the outline on the paper.
"What a cheapskate, ignore you."
"Then don't bother, don't bother if you have the ability."
The Duke's tone was flat, but he glared at her.
"I said I said, I said it's okay."
Seeing the duke's complexion turned sour, Leng Xing knew that his slightly joking words were taken seriously by the duke who couldn't joke about relationship problems, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.
Seeing her dog-legged appearance, the Duke looked at her expressionlessly even though he wanted to laugh a little.
"That's what you asked me to say."
"Hmm." You didn't say what was going on for a long time.
The Duke's appetite was so high that she had already begun to silently wonder if it was some "rival in love".
"The truth is, I had a stomachache that day and she helped me."
Leng Xing summed up the tragic situation that day into words that didn't sound very lethal.
"Ah?" The Duke was slightly surprised, blaming himself for doubting her for no reason.
"So, that's it, otherwise what do you think it is?"
I just didn't want you to worry so I didn't say it, and it's not something shameful.
After telling the truth, Leng Xing became a little angry.
You cheapskate, you still irritate me like this, you don't say anything when you threaten people, and you still stare at me!
Thinking of this, she pinched the Duke's waist.
The Duke had been prepared for a long time and hurriedly avoided her claws, but the pencil "squeaked" from the paper, ruining the outline he had just drawn.
"I thought..." she stammered, "I didn't think why, I just wasn't very happy not to tell you."
His eyes dodged, and he knew that he was perfunctory at a glance.
"I guess, you thought something similar to 'rival in love' happened."
Leng Xing picked it up unceremoniously, and the Duke even pretended to be an invisible man, silently took a new piece of paper and started from scratch, without answering any questions.
"I don't want to be angry because of you. Everyone will be jealous sometimes." Although you are not human.She silently added in her heart. "Because you like me, you care about these things. But... there's no need to be jealous for everything. A few days ago, I even ate a package of jealousy."
"Not at all," she whispered, "I'm just because you ignore me for a long time...and I'm not jealous of everything."
"Well, if you don't have it, you don't have it. It's just, why are you jealous? Do you like me? But, if I like you, then I'm yours and I won't leave. You don't need to be jealous like an enemy. If It's useless to be jealous if I don't like you."
"So, do you like it or not?" She looked at Leng Xing expectantly.
"What an idiot." Leng Xing knocked her on the head.
The Duke didn't speak, and lowered his head again, as if he had been wronged.
"Oh..." Seeing that she took her teasing seriously again, Leng Xing hurriedly hugged her tightly to comfort her, "Of course I like it. I like you, I like you, I like you."
"did not hear it."
"I like you, I like you, I like you!" repeated again, in different tones.
"Still haven't heard."
"You...huh, if you didn't hear it, you didn't hear it, so don't say it."
Leng Xing's voice was a little annoyed, and then she saw the Duke smiling.
Sure enough, he was teasing her, what a cheapskate who "holds vengeance".If I teased her, she must tease her back.
"You're going to give me a lecture!" Leng Xing started to shake her again, "I've told you about things, and you've said what you like, so you should tell me. Besides, you didn't reply at all!"
The Duke kissed her: "Is this okay?"
"The focus is on the topic!"
She punched the Duke lightly and thrust the pen into her hand.
"it is good."
The warm wall lamp cast a yellowish halo, covering the two of them, and there were silhouettes cuddling up on the ground, sometimes laughing and playing.
Looking at Leng Xing's happy smile, the Duke pursed his thin lips tightly.
There is no problem with your exam.How can I pass my exam?This life and death battle.
Outside the window is the chilling winter, and the branches with no leaves, trying to grow towards the dark sky.
It was the girl in the room who hadn't noticed it, and was covered by the warm halo, the wind that was temporarily silent but would eventually come with a biting breath.
The author has something to say: The computer is blacked out five times a month, what should I do?
I will soon be able to repair computers myself, so I just go to Taobao to buy a set of repair tools, stop studying medicine, and change careers to become a repairman...
Chapter 46 Return (Part [-])
I don't want to be back to back with you, that would be an equatorial distance away.
- Leng Xing
The location of the Presbyterian Church of the Fanzhuo Family, and the temporary office of the military department.
"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"
The sound of the phone vibrating.
The owner of the phone stretched out her hand to pick up the golden iPhone 5S, looking at the familiar number on the screen, she slid to unlock it, and Leng Xing's voice came from the receiver immediately.
"Where are you?"
"Military Department." Short answer.
"Come and give us a lecture—" Hearing the eager voice of the other party, a doting smile appeared on the corner of the Duke's lips, and he replied softly, "Okay, wait for me for half an hour."
"Is it your boyfriend?"
"Let's meet soon!"
Just when she was about to press the hang up button, a voice that did not belong to Leng Xing came from the receiver.
"that……"
Leng Xing's voice was a little flustered, faltering.
After hanging up the phone, she unscrewed the cap of the pen and signed the document in front of her.
"Your Highness."
It was a staff member of the Vatican Military Department, who hurried in, presumably looking for her to ask for documents.
"Take it to His Royal Highness Prince Proseus."
The Duke closed the pen cap, and the Chinese lacquer pen with the maple leaf pattern was turning back and forth between his white fingers.She stretched out her hand, and the silver light flowed between her fingers.
The seal was released, and she picked up the next document and began to read it.
Is the Presbyterian Church about to get involved in military power?
Holding the thin document, she subconsciously pursed her lips.
"As ordered, Your Highness."
The blood race in front of them generally disappeared. After the incident of Proseus destroying the military headquarters, they became frightened birds. They were afraid that if they did something wrong, they would offend the tyrannical Prince.
The Duke unscrewed the cap of the pen again, and the tip of the pen stayed within an inch of the paper, and she fell into deep thought.
Does it have to be a violent coup?
But, but!
The political situation... must not be chaotic.
three days ago.
On January 2014, 1, the missing Duke was finally found by her Praetorians.
But it was ridiculous to say that the Duke, who had always behaved elegantly and steadily, was found shaking with his wine glass, looking like he was about to fall down at any time.
Her eyes were blurred and her consciousness was blurred. She whispered to the guard soldiers, as if she was saying something mysterious: "Father, hello... I caught him... Mars... the traitor who wanted to kill my father , I have executed him..."
In addition to the Praetorian Guards, there were also guards sent by Proseus from the military headquarters that night.
This absurd scene spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the Fanzhuo family.
But unexpectedly, people pointed their finger at Prince Proseus instead of the Duke Rose, who had disappeared due to malfeasance and got drunk.
For a long time, the operation of the machines in the Vanjo military headquarters has been supported by the Duke alone.Although Prosius was the head of the military department, he was never willing to properly review documents. Almost all the work was done by the Duke, while he inspected the troops around and practiced continuously, exhausting the Vanjo soldiers.
"I won't read those meaningless rubbish! The army should train well!"
The day and night training made the soldiers extremely dissatisfied, and the Duke was dealing with a lot of documents alone, and he was so tired that he almost vomited blood. All the staff felt distressed.It's no wonder that she quit her business these days, because Proseus hasn't appeared in the military headquarters for at least a month.
"It's all because Proseus left all the work to His Royal Highness Qiangwei!"
"My lord duke has always worked diligently, and will never dereliction of duty as they said, it must be slander!"
"Exactly! Exactly! Your Excellency the Duke is the best!"
"She is the one who gave us the upper hand in the Emerald City Agreement!"
"I heard from my brother that Proseus drilled the army day and night, and the soldiers wanted to mutiny!"
"Shh... it's better not to talk about the affairs of the military department."
Although Duke Rose was deprived of most of his military power by His Royal Highness Prince Proseus due to dereliction of duty, public opinion undoubtedly turned towards her.
And there is no doubt that Proseus was furious when he heard the news: "Is it reasonable for her to neglect her duties?! Even if she is my daughter and a hero of Fanzhuo, she can't ignore the law!"
Although he was very angry that the Duke was missing and not working, which caused the military machinery to stop working, but in fact——
What really made Proseus angry was not this matter, but the words that the Duke said in a daze.
"Father, hello... I caught him... Mars... the traitor who wanted to kill my father, I have executed him..."
The protagonist in the story, the Grand Duke of Mars, a senior general of the military department, and the captain of the Imperial Guard of His Royal Highness Prince Proseus, disappeared a few days ago, just like the dereliction of duty Duke Rose, and he is still missing.
This sentence undoubtedly detonated the bomb, and people speculated whether Mars had been killed by the Duke of Rose.Of course, whether Proseus ordered is the key point.
For a while, rumors spread.
Prince Proseus had a splitting headache and summoned the Duke to his manor shortly after he woke up.
"What is it, father?"
The duke played it realistically.With a blank face, she lowered her head and stood in front of Proseus.
"Qiangwei, what are you doing?!"
Proseus squeezed out words through his teeth, his facial features twisted ferociously.
"What do you mean?"
Like a robot, she had her hands hanging by her sides, her long black hair covering her eyes.
Seeing that she still remained unmoved, Proseus suddenly felt all the blood rushing to the top of his head.His usual ice-cold image completely collapsed. In the study room where only the two of them faced each other, he roared, "What's the matter?! Dereliction of duty, drunkenness, and inexplicable words! Think about how you can explain it!"
"As my father said, I was in a bad mood, so I left work and had a few drinks. I accidentally got drunk, so I don't know what I said."
Her tone of voice was steady.
"I apologize to you for my actions, father."
She bowed deeply towards Proseus, the corners of her robe flew up, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
He couldn't see, the moment the Duke lowered his head towards him, he gritted his teeth secretly.
The hatred in the blue eyes rolled and roared.
You wait, Proseus.
"Okay, get up straight. The past is over, and I have already punished." Proseus said, staring at the Duke intently. "After all, you are my daughter."
He was testing her to see if her memory came back.
After that coup d'état, the Duke actually called his father to him, and even hid his true appearance.He was puzzled at first, but after checking her body, he found that there was a living body seal on her body.
It was her brother who sealed her memory, making her think he was her father.
As for the appearance, it may be to cover up the fact that the Duke is a mixed blood of Vanjo and Zmisch.After all, silver hair is a unique symbol of the Duke's mother's family, the Yard family.
Forget it, then treat it as your own daughter.Proseus thought so, after all, she is also Daphne's daughter.
However, time passed, and the Duke was no longer that innocent girl.The flames of war that spread everywhere made her grow up rapidly, and she... became more and more like her real father, his elder brother, Apollo, the former chief elder of the Presbyterian Church known as the Prince of the Sun.
Like her father, she is as dazzling as the sun, always reminding Proseus who is like a high-ranking emperor when he is trampled on like a dog by other blood races, who is the only one who loves him in this life When he was a crazy person, he turned her into his wife through political means.It is he, Apollo, his brother!
The person he once loved the most, and the person he has hated the most since.
"Yes, father."
The Duke raised his head and looked at him fixedly, with a hint of remorse in his eyes.
"Do what you have to do."
Proseus withdrew from his memory and lit a cigarette.Immediately, sparks flashed, and light blue smoke engulfed.
In the pitch-black manor, only the red flames of cigarettes flickered.
"Yes, father."
She bowed and bid farewell to Proseus, her black robe fluttering, and she strode out of his manor.
However, this incident was far from ending because of the mutual temptation between the two.
At the elders meeting, following the incident of Proseus destroying the military headquarters, some elders began to attack the head of the military department.
The theme this time is that Proseus' lax discipline of his subordinates caused political turmoil and internal chaos in the army.
It was because of the bewildering words of Duke Rose that the generals under Mars were extremely dissatisfied with Proseus, the head of the military department, but feared by Proseus' power, they could only make some small moves secretly.However, this made the army more chaotic and exacerbated factional fighting within the Ventrue army.
Although the elders hope that the army is not monolithic, which is conducive to control, the serious internal turmoil in the army will bring disaster to the internal affairs, and even threaten the status of the Vanjo family as the ruler of Camarilla.Seeing this situation, especially the mutiny of Bruch's army and the occupation of the Vanjo Presbyterian Church by Zmisch militants not long ago, touched the nerves of the elders.After the mutiny of Bruch's army, out of concern about whether the Camarilla Council could operate normally, the chief elder ordered the military department to mobilize a large number of Vanjoy's elite troops to garrison the Camarilla Council, so he gave the Zmihi radicals, exactly
