[Blood] Shura's Castle
Chapter 8? ——Whether everything you have been convinced is a lie in the end.
This is an opportunity for nobles dissatisfied with the death of Daphne Jad Zmich.The Zmich nobleman planned to wreak havoc after breaking into the Presbyterian Church, but due to the appearance of the Duke of Rose and the mysteriously missing Prince Auston Paxester Lesenba the day before yesterday, for some reason, the Zmich nobleman They all left after chatting with Duke Rose.
Therefore, the elders did not punish the "dereliction of duty" duke too much, because she quelled the crisis of Zmixi nobles breaking into the presbytery, but the countless conversations and inquiries that followed still made the duke almost overwhelmed.
Therefore, on the one hand, in order to avoid the fierce pursuit of the elders, and on the other hand, out of the need to unite various forces, Duke Qiangwei went missing.
After her appearance, the Presbyterian Church has split into two parties, the Prince's Party and the Duke's Party.As the backbone of the Proseus coup that year, the Princely Party naturally supported the leader Proseus. Most of them were veteran generals in the early days of the Millennium Jihad.The Duke Party gathered the hard-core allies of the former chief elder Apollo, as well as emerging politicians and generals who rose in the late millennium jihad.Originally, the Duke Party was a supporter of Apollo, the former Chief Elder, and lost power after the Proseus coup and Apollo's direct heir Duke Rose lost his memory, but now Auston appeared to reveal the truth. No need to keep a low profile.
The core of the Duke's party knew well that Duke Rose had a serious conflict with his so-called father, Prince Proseus, and what they had to do was to help the Duke to the throne and restore Apollo's rule as the chief.
Although the duke's current level of spiritual power is not as good as that of Proseus, her prestige in the family and even the world of blood clans cannot be compared with that of the gloomy and cold-looking Prince Proseus.
The Duke woke up from his contemplation. She suppressed the trembling of her wrist and closed the cap of the pen.
"Your Highness."
A staff member knelt on one knee, bowed his head and made a sound.
"what's up?"
The Duke stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, and put on the cloak embroidered with the crest of the Scepter family.
"You... haven't approved that document..."
"Let's stop here today, I'm tired."
The Duke's voice was calm, but there was an undeniable majesty in it.
"As ordered, Your Highness."
The Duke's toes twirled slightly, and in a flash of silver light, her figure disappeared.
"I'm downstairs."
Half an hour later, Leng Xing's phone vibrated, and she hurried downstairs after seeing the text message.
But what is waiting is——
A boy in a windbreaker, with golden brown hair and gleaming obsidian eyes.
She looked around, only the boy looked at her with folded arms.
"What are you doing..." She took out her mobile phone, but a boy she had never met before spoke up.
"Cold star."
"Huh? May I ask who you are?"
"Couldn't you recognize him after changing his appearance?" The boy walked forward slowly, his tall and slender figure covering Leng Xing, "Or, you don't need me to give a lecture at all?"
He stretched out his arm and held Leng Xing's finger, the slender white fingertips felt a biting chill like ice and snow.

Chapter 47 Homecoming (Medium)
"It's so cold..." Leng Xing withdrew his hands trembling, "Stop making trouble."
She realized that the Duke was teasing her.
"How did you become like this?"
Leng Xing took the Duke's hand and walked towards the dormitory, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of several classmates who saw it.
She actually dragged the boy into the girls' dormitory!
A classmate gestured to his companions with a strange look.
"Oh, it's nothing, that's his boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Why don't I know?"
"There are so many things you don't know."
No one could see, behind a figure with a backpack, after seeing Leng Xing's intimate movements with the boy with golden brown hair, he pursed his lips tightly and looked coldly in his eyes.
I see.
And another girl with golden brown hair disappeared silently after seeing the boy's figure.
Your Highness, since you are here, I can take a good rest.
There was a sly look in her chocolate-colored eyes.
"Because—" the Duke deliberately dragged his voice out, "Isn't your friend against Lily?"
"So you just..." She felt a little guilty. Could it be that because of this, the proud Duke did not hesitate to be wronged and pretended to be something else, just to keep her from being criticized?
"satisfied?"
The Duke did not take her word for it.
"Sorry, I……"
"I mean, are you happy with me the way I am?"
asked the Duke, pointing to his face.
Leng Xing secretly let out a long sigh of relief, she thought the Duke was dissatisfied with being forced to look like a boy.
"That..." She really wanted to say, I still like you just the way you are, but I was afraid of hurting the Duke's feelings.
"Satisfied?" she continued relentlessly.
"Hmm~" She took the Duke's hand and shook it, "I like it very much."
"Really?" The Duke turned his head to look at her, as if observing whether she was lying.
"Well, it's handsome, just the way I like it."
The boy in front of him, no matter his tall stature, his slender straight legs, his fair to almost morbid skin, his pair of deep obsidian-like eyes, and his heroic facial features, all fit Leng Xing's aesthetic standards.But... She still likes her Duke better.
"How does that compare to who I am?"
Leng Xing suddenly felt a little stiff.
What should I say.
To be honest, it was dissatisfaction with the duke's well-dressed outfit. If the duke wanted to return to his original appearance, then... a few people have seen that she is leading a boy just now. If she enters the dormitory and becomes a girl I can't tell.
To say that I prefer the way it is now is simply...for the Duke...
"Uh..." she stammered, "I like them all."
"Which one do you prefer?" The soft voice was bewitching.
"One...like the same." She felt that she was definitely not a human being inside and out.
There is no doubt that the Duke was very upset after hearing the few words before closing the line.
But the feeling of discomfort was only for a moment, and after a moment, she began to think about other more important things.
However, when the unhappy review of documents was over, and when she remembered what she had said about her "boyfriend", the poor student Leng Xing, as expected... a tragedy.
The Duke's face darkened instantly, and the other hand in his pocket was clenched.
"Um... are you busy today?"
Feeling that the air nearby had frozen, Leng Xing had nothing to say.
"It's okay. It's just..." The Duke frowned involuntarily.
"What is it?" Leng Xing opened his eyes wide, looking up at the Duke.
"It's nothing." The Duke's eyes met Leng Xing's, and she smiled for a moment, "I can handle it well."
Seeing the tangled thoughts in Leng Xing's heart, she couldn't help laughing.
"Cold star."
"Ok?"
"From now on, just say whatever you think in your heart, don't be afraid that I will get angry."
Really, this little guy was afraid that she would get angry, so he "leveled the bowl of water", but it actually made her suspicious.
"Then you should be too. Always play around with me."
"Wait, let's talk about it when there is no one else."
The Duke bent down and leaned into her ear and said, the thin air current made Leng Xing almost jump up.
"Don't be so..." She blushed and thumped the Duke.
"how?"
"ambiguous."
"Hey, we're..."
"I know, I know, wait a minute, let's talk about it when there is no one else."
While talking, the two walked over.
"I dragged him here~ Mina-san has been saved now!"
"Wow~ handsome guy!"
Before the Duke could say anything, there was a voice of exclamation from the dormitory.
"This is little B, this is little N, and this is little Y." Leng Xing introduced to the Duke one by one, and then turned to the three roommates, "This is the person you mentioned. He studies finance, medical advanced mathematics, etc. It's a piece of cake. Of course, he said it."
The Duke smiled at the three of them.
"We don't know your name yet." The roommates winked at Leng Xing.
"he is……"
Leng Xing couldn't help but feel his mouth dry, the Duke doesn't have a name!Is she going to tell the three of them, please call this "boy" Rose Duke?
"The court decision."
There was a bang in Leng Xing's head, she supported the table, feeling her hands and feet were a little weak.
Just like when I met him for the second time, she is really messing around!
"Duke? Is it the duke of the duke uncle?"
Sure enough, her roommates were a little suspicious.
The Duke flashed a perfect eight-toothed smile.
"Well... no, the palace of the palace, the decision."
Leng Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now her heart was in her throat.
"What's the problem? Leng Xing said that your advanced mathematics teacher's lectures are not very clear."
The Duke's voice was soft, like a gentleman.
"It's more than unclear!"
"She basically read it from PPT..."
"There is no point at all, we don't know many questions..."
"It doesn't matter." The boy showed a gentle smile, "I can do it all."
After the Duke spoke to them for nearly three hours, the hour hand had already pointed to eleven o'clock.
"I should go back, do you still know?"
"Nothing."
"If there is any more, I will ask him to tell me, and I will tell you. Goodbye~"
Leng Xing waved at the Duke.
"Aren't you going to send your boyfriend off?"
Seeing Leng Xing waving his hand, the Duke didn't express any dissatisfaction, and quietly closed the door and left.
"Oh yes, I have something to ask him."
After Leng Xing finished speaking, he hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and rushed out of the dormitory.
"Wait a minute—"
The Duke turned around.
"Why did you come out?" Aren't you going to let me go back by myself?
"I was wrong, I was wrong... I shouldn't have left you alone."
Leng Xing ran towards the Duke in a hurry and almost tripped.
"Slow down." The Duke's figure flickered, and he appeared in front of her in an instant to support her, "I haven't put on my clothes yet, aren't you afraid of catching cold?"
Gently raised his hand to help her straighten her neckline.
"Thank you." Leng Xing felt a little guilty for leaving her alone, and she held the Duke's hand.
"It's cold." The Duke withdrew his hand, avoiding her eyes.
"I would." She held it again, and this time the Duke didn't take it out again.
"Leng Xing, I became like this not only because of what I just said."
"why?"
"Someone is following me." She leaned over and whispered.
"what?!"
"Shh, you woke them up." The Duke pointed to the dormitories on both sides of the corridor that had already turned off the lights, "I'll talk about it in detail later."
"So you're not safe right now?!"
After listening to the duke's explanation, Leng Xing looked worried.
"Proseus has always been suspicious, and some nobles in Le Senbai, the so-called 'fiancé' I told you last time, have been trying to murder me."
The Duke hugged Leng Xing and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
"However, don't worry too much." Gently stroking Leng Xing's hair, her eyes fell on the void in the distance, "I just need to show up in a different form, so..."
"That's why you turned into a boy and came to me?"
"Not quite. I'm not a 'boy', I'm a Markus."
"Who is Marcus?"
"Captain of my Praetorian Guard."
The duke has changed back to his old self.
"No wonder! I just said that there is something wrong with your appearance. You are jealous after hearing me say that you are so good-looking, right? Hahahaha..." Leng Xing laughed so hard that his face cramped when he saw the Duke's angry look.
The Duke glared at her angrily, then turned away.
"Okay, okay, I'm joking with you." Leng Xing stretched out his hand and pulled the Duke's face back, "Don't be angry again."
After that, a hand got into her clothes and tickled her mischievously.
"Ouch...don't scratch..." The Duke's iceberg-like face couldn't hold back anymore, and she couldn't help laughing, trying to avoid that troublesome hand.
"You promise me that you won't be angry again."
"Hahaha...I don't...hahaha...I promise, I promise."
The duke couldn't bear it any longer.She is not afraid of pain, but she is afraid of tickle, especially Leng Xing kept scratching her waist, which made her laugh non-stop, and her face almost became stiff.
"Is that right..."
Just as Leng Xing stopped what he was doing, the Duke put his arms around her and kissed her hard on the lips.
"You have learned to tease me? Huh?"
As lips and teeth grind together, the Duke's voice has an indescribable charm.Leng Xing's face was flushed by the kiss, and she couldn't restrain a few low moans from her throat. She felt that the oxygen in her lungs had been plundered by the Duke.
"Who told you to shake my face..." She tilted her head slightly, took a big breath of air, and then kissed the Duke back more fiercely, biting her lips deliberately, "As long as you are angry, don't let me tease you? "
The Duke's lips were stained bright red by the bleeding, and with her pale face, she really looked like an out-and-out vampire.
"Because you let me leave by myself, is this my reward for serving you?" The Duke ignored the blood on his lips and kissed her again, and the bloody breath spread in their mouths.
"Aren't you in pain..." After the intense kiss was over, Leng Xing said in a low voice.
"How could it not hurt? Especially you." She made a pun.
"I'm sorry, I just..." She licked lightly with the tip of her tongue, and soon the wound stopped bleeding.
"Don't apologize. It's not all because of you that you are in a bad mood today."
"That is?"
"The Council of Elders is going to interfere with the military affairs."
Leng Xing's heart couldn't help beating wildly, and she caught a glimpse of the Duke's hands clenched into fists.It was less than a week before Mars' assassination of the prince and the official conflict between Proseus and the Duke.
The author has something to say:
Chapter 48 Homecoming (Part [-])
Since that night, the Duke hasn't seen Leng Xing again for several days.It's not that she's having trouble with "becoming a boy" or anything else, it's just that there are more and more spies staring at her, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for her to pretend to be someone else.In order not to get Leng Xing into unnecessary trouble, she had no choice but to endure it first.
"Marcus, get out." The Duke appeared in the study out of thin air.
After Leng Xing fell asleep, the Duke got up again, got dressed and left.
"Yes, Your Highness." The man in military uniform bowed to the Duke and left.
"Thanks for your hard work."
In order to deceive others, after the Duke left the temporary military headquarters that day, she returned to the castle, called Markus into the study, and left the castle pretending to be him, then went to her apartment to change into human clothes, and then went to Leng Xing .
So Marcus stayed there in place of the Duke.Anyway, if the Duke talks to her captain of the Guards, no one will dare to break in.As for those spies... They were even more afraid because they were afraid of being caught. The spies discovered by the Duke before were all injured or killed by her guards.
The reason why the Duke still tolerated the existence of these spies was to let the enemy relax their vigilance.
"Are you looking for your little lover again?" After Marcus left, a dark figure slowly walked out from the darkness with a playful voice.
"This seems to have nothing to do with you, His Royal Highness Prince Alston." The Duke replied nonchalantly, "The issue we should discuss is how to bring down Proseus and McGee, not my private life."
"Okay, so what are you going to do?" Alston walked to her desk, took off his cloak and sat down.His feet in cowhide boots rested leisurely on the Duke's table. The Duke's lips twitched, but he finally held back.
"McGee planted some people in front of Proseus, do you know who they are?"
"Proseus also placed some people in front of McGee, do you know who it is?"
"Auston, if we can't stop tempting each other, sooner or later, my fate is to be married to McGee, and you will be framed by McKee to death." The Duke flipped through a book in his hand without looking up. .
Auston's blood-red eyes were uncertain, and for a moment, he said in a low voice, "I know."
"I don't know what Proseus did. The only thing I know now is that Mars was bought by McGee. However, the Elders are attacking Proseus recently, and he can't spare time to control his spies. .”
"Ah, that's natural. I've heard about the messy things that your uncle destroyed the Vatican Army, and now they're talking about the disappearance of Mars again, because your generals have made a lot of tricks. "
Alston spoke lightly, and the Duke was annoyed to hear his tone tinged with sarcasm.
"I have nothing to do with Proseus." She scowled.
"Understood. Mars hadn't planned to do anything to Proseus at first, but after being agitated by your words, he probably couldn't hold back anymore. It must be time for him to do something in a few days."
"That's hard to say." The Duke stared at a line of words carefully, looking thoughtful, "It's not safe to put all the chips on Mars, I need to mess up a bit more."
"How about I let Cole..."
"Don't!" the Duke raised a hand to stop him, his usually emotionless eyes were turbulent, "Proseus is still useful. If you ask Cole to kill Proseus, McGee will notice. Besides, Cole's business has not yet been settled."
There was a look of cruelty in her eyes.
"I didn't send Cole to kill you," Alston clarified.He may not be able to resist the Duke's anger, after all, her spiritual power has increased day by day since the seal was released.
"I know. I'm going to get it back from McKee sooner or later."
McGee planned to assassinate her once but failed, and unexpectedly came a second time.If she could spare McGee, she wouldn't be a vengeful Duke of Rose.
"It's too early to say these things, the key is..."
"How to let them kill each other."
"In other words, Proseus needs to find out about Mars and McGee."
"Better force him to shoot McGee."
"But it can't be too much, or it will be difficult for me to turn things around later." Oston moved his legs and changed his posture. "I think you don't want to start a war between Vanjo and Le Senbai."
"That's natural. Once Fanzhuo and Le Senbai confront each other, it is actually no different from the confrontation between Camarilla and Sabat."
Before the signing of the Emerald City Agreement, she spent an unknown amount of brain cells, went through life and death countless times, and sacrificed countless soldiers in exchange for the stable situation where Vanjoy leads the secret party today.Once the Second Millennium Jihad broke out... She didn't dare to think how many people would be involved.Besides, the turmoil in the political situation and the chaos in the blood race world were not the results she wanted.
Therefore, the situation must be chaotic, so chaotic that the political opponents can't hold back and kill each other, but it can't be too chaotic, and it must be within her control.Her goal is to defeat Proseus so as to gain the highest power in the military and achieve the purpose of manipulating the Presbyterian Church, instead of causing internal chaos in Vanjo, so as to give other families who are about to make a move.
"I need to go back, otherwise McGee's spies will become suspicious if I haven't seen me for a long time." Alston stood up, straightened his clothes, and tied his cloak, "Don't get yourself involved, I still I need you." His voice was cold, and he looked like a collaborator who was just using each other with the Duke.
He turned his back to the duke, and there was an unforgettable feeling in his eyes but he had to hide it.
"Yes. No."
The Duke replied lazily.She picked up the crystal cup and took a sip of blood.
After Auston's figure disappeared, she slowly walked out of the study and walked into her bedroom.With a flash of silver light, she disappeared in Shura Castle.
Total darkness.
She looked at Leng Xing who was already asleep, and quietly took her into her arms.
"Baby, I will definitely stand at the highest place and keep you from any harm."
Whispering to her, the Duke stroked her silky black hair and closed his eyes.
When Leng Xing woke up the next day, the Duke was gone, leaving only a steaming breakfast and a note on the table.
Then, as the Duke had expected, Myers lost his composure.
"His Royal Highness, Duke Rose, you must save me." The God of War who was feared in the past actually knelt down in front of her, with a pleasing expression on his face.
"Save you? What did you do that require me to save you?" The Duke pretended not to know, and walked around the study with his arms folded, with a leisurely expression.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know what kind of slander he has heard. He thinks that I will harm him, and is arresting me everywhere. Your Excellency, only you can save me!"
The Duke looked at the terrified look on the face of Proseus's Guards Commander, and felt extremely amused.He is obviously just a duke whose spiritual power is not as good as his, but there are still times when he begs himself.
Of course, except for Auston, no one knew that the Duke's level of spiritual power was approaching that of the Prince.
"My lord Mars, I dare not do it." The Duke stretched out his white-gloved hand to help him up, "Please explain in detail."
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you..." Mars was so moved that he almost threw himself to the ground.Although the Duke's spiritual power is not as good as his appearance on the surface, the Duke is Proseus's "natural daughter" and a pure-blooded nobleman. The duke who plans to win is far behind in terms of brains and status.
The Duke had expected this.In fact, she was the one who initiated the so-called rumors that Mars plotted against Proseus and plotted to assassinate him. It was only because she had discovered the ulterior secret between McGee and Mars.And after this inexplicable rumor spread, the "protagonist" Proseus couldn't sit still anymore. He secretly investigated, and the result surprised him—his guard captain was really bought by McGee !
His Royal Highness Prince Proseus started his career with a coup d'etat in the army. He was always on guard against the same thing happening to him, and his suspicions were extremely serious. In addition, his methods have always been vicious and brutal, so even a person like Mars is afraid of him. .As soon as the rumors came out, the prince didn't move at all, which made the commander of the guards on the fence even more anxious, restless, afraid that some unexpected disaster would happen to him.
People often fear not death, but the unknown.
After listening to Mars's defense and almost crying pleading, the Duke's heart was full of contempt for him.
The majestic Vatican God of War crawled at her feet like a dog, without any dignity at all, which made her feel very disgusted and contemptuous.As a pure-blood, she has an extremely arrogant personality, and what she looks down on most is begging for mercy.
Even if she could save Mars, she would not fight for this kind of person, not to mention that he was originally a pawn used to deal with Proseus.Chess pieces exist only because they are useful.
"I'm really innocent! I've never felt that way about His Royal Highness!"
The first half of Mars' sentence is undoubtedly sophistry, but the second half is indeed the truth.
"Master Mars, the important thing is whether your father thinks you are doing this, rather than whether you really have this intention." The Duke folded his arms, pacing, and said slowly, "So, what is the truth, yes It doesn't matter to me."
In the end, her tone was as soft as silk.Moreover, she also showed a meaningful smile, which made the captain of the Wall Grass Imperial Guard tremble even more.
The implication is that I don't care whether you are innocent or not, if Proseus thinks you are guilty, you will be hard to escape.
That is natural. Political struggles never care about the truth, only what is shown.The duke made Proseus suspicious, and her goal had been achieved.
She was pushing Mars in a cornered direction.
"Then...then what should I do..."
The Grand Duke of Mars muttered to himself with blank eyes, his eyes were fixed on the white wool carpet in the Duke's study, as if he wanted to make a hole in it.
"Master Mars, to tell you the truth, my father said that he already knew about you and Prince McGee of Le Senbai." Her face was calm, her tone was casual, and she didn't want to talk about such life-and-death matters at all, "So, He ordered me to arrest you."
Mars's face instantly became paler than before, and after a while, it was filled with a look of death.
"This is slander!" he yelled, the lines on his face were as deep as furrows, "It's those bastards with bad intentions who are slandering me!"
bastard?The Duke sneered inwardly.Aren't you a bastard yourself?Moreover, he was obviously not clear with McGee, and even pretended to be innocent.However, she did not express her inner thoughts on her face at all.
"But, I don't intend to do that." She said leisurely, playing with her hair with her fingers.
"Why, Your Highness?" There was hope in Mars's eyes, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Because, he actually cut my military power! I have always been conscientious and hard-working, and he used the excuse of dereliction of duty as an excuse to retaliate! How could I work for such an unreasonable person?! Not only that, he also did a lot of things that made me unable to Things to tolerate!" said the Duke angrily.She changed her face as if performing a Sichuan opera. One second she was playing with her hair comfortably, but the next moment she was so angry that her teeth were trembling.
Acting is acting, and what she said was indeed true, so—falsely true and false, her performance was more convincing than pure lies, and it did not arouse Mars' suspicion.
"So Your Highness..."
"It would be a disaster for such a cruel person to stay in Fanzhuo!" the Duke said harshly.
"So... why don't we work together to get rid of him?" In Mars' eyes, it could already be called a surprise.The Duke of Rose is really the right one!
Sure enough, they have the same brainlessness as McGee, one has a bad temper and the other has no plans, no wonder they hit it off.the duke thought to himself.
However, of course, chess pieces can't be too smart, otherwise how can they be used with confidence?
Mars is indeed an ideal pawn.
"But... my spiritual power is really far behind..." The Duke looked puzzled, "You also know that during the Millennium Jihad, I was only making suggestions, and I was seriously injured several times on the battlefield. If you hadn't led the army to the front Fight bravely, presumably... Fan Zhuo no longer exists! You are a hero of Fan Zhuo!" The Duke looked sincere, as if he was presenting an award to the top ten people who moved China.
The implication is that she is not suitable to assassinate Proseus, because she does not have enough spiritual power, which is tantamount to seeking her own death.However, she can advise Mars.By the way, she mentioned that Mars is a hero, which will only make the simple-minded Mars hate Proseus even more when he thinks back to the past glory and the current desolation.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave it to me! But you have to..." Fearing that the Duke would finally decide that it would be better to surrender himself, Mars hurriedly agreed.Although he is brave and foolhardy, he knows that Duke Qiangwei sticks to his word, as long as he agrees to cooperate, he will not change his mind, so he will be saved.
After all, His Royal Highness, who distrusts anyone and has a violent personality like Proseus, will never forgive betrayal.
"I will make your actions foolproof. Lord Mars, just to be on the safe side, you should stay in Shura Castle temporarily, after all, Proseus has been looking for you everywhere recently." In case he betrayed himself, he ran to inform Proseus in exchange for a glimmer of life.To put it bluntly, she is more ruthless and suspicious than Proseus, but she is very good at acting and will never let others notice.
"Thank you, Your Highness..."
"Master Mars, why should you be so polite? You are a hero of Vatican. This really frustrates me." Seeing that Mars was about to bow down again, the Duke hurriedly helped him up.
"Yes, Your Highness."
On January 1, when Prince Proseus gave a speech to the army, Mars publicly accused Proseus of the atrocities and assassinated the prince. Although His Royal Highness had been prepared, he was seriously injured.
At this moment, Marquis Marquis, the commander of the Duke's Imperial Guard, arrived with the Duke's Imperial Guard, and cooperated with other military generals present to capture Mars, who was plotting to assassinate the Prince.
"That bitch actually betrayed me!" Seeing the Duke's most trusted Marcus appear, Mars instantly realized that he was being used by the Duke, so he began to yell.
"Shut up, you are not allowed to insult Your Highness." Raising his hand that was glowing with blue light, Marcus slapped the face of Mars who was unable to move but was still yelling. It looked like a horse bloodthirsty wolf.Marston was at a loss for words, "How dare you slander Your Highness and sow discord! Detain him and put him in prison!"
The point of Markarth's sword gleamed sharply, and he himself was like a knife just drawn.
He would fight desperately with anyone who dared to insult his lord, Duke Rose.
"Put him in the first prison!" Prince Proseus, who was still bleeding, said in a gloomy tone, and all the vampires present gasped.
The first prison is synonymous with death, no blood race has ever walked out of the first prison alive.
What a waste, I thought he could die with Proseus.Overrated him.
Looking at Mars being escorted away, the Duke hiding in the dark couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.It seems that in order to completely bring down Proseus, she still needs to act personally.
The magic circle that imprisoned the spiritual power was completed in an instant, and the Duke of Mars, who could not be assassinated, was taken down by the blood guards.Since then, with great achievements in battle, the once unparalleled God of War has never appeared again.
On the same day, Leng Xing finished the last course - University Computer Fundamentals, or "Da Ji Ji" for short.
Not answering the phone calls, not replying to the text messages, and not seeing the Duke for nearly half a week, Leng Xing finally couldn't bear it this time.
The joy of finishing the exam was gone, Leng Xing thought about it, and suddenly remembered the scene when the Duke brought her to the company that day.Could it be... Where can I find her?
She rushed to her company in a hurry, and the skyscrapers stood in front of her, but the guards refused to let her go because she didn't have an ID card.
"I'm here to find someone!" Leng Xing almost jumped up.
"Who are you looking for?" The guard looked alert, staring at her like a falcon.
"Uh..." She didn't know exactly what pseudonym the Duke used.
Just when she was about to give up hope, the guard answered the phone.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Then, he actually let Leng Xing in!
Leng Xing was striding forward, without paying attention, he bumped into a person directly.
"I'm sorry..." She hurriedly apologized and looked up to see——
The young girl, taller than the duke, wore a well-tailored slim suit with a loose silver silk scarf around the collar.She was looking down at Leng Xing, like a big iceberg.
Leng Xing felt that the person in front of him had a strong sense of metal—the long blond hair fluttered lightly, the silver eyes looked at her motionlessly, and the unique icy aura of metal came over his face.
"Hello, Miss Leng."
It is clearly a pure Western face, but the Chinese pronunciation is very standard, but a little blunt.
"May I ask who you are?" Leng Xing inexplicably felt that the iceberg beauty in front of him looked familiar.
"Selina von Williams, your Duke's office is on the 72nd floor." The girl leaned down and whispered to her.
How does she know who I'm looking for!
After finishing speaking, the girl walked away gracefully with her notebook in her hand, followed by several people in suits chasing her profusely, shouting, "Please wait a moment, chairman—"
The girl's magnetic voice that didn't match her cool face sounded: "Ineverwaitforpeoplewhocannotkeepupwithmypace."[1]
Leng Xing's body froze involuntarily.She remembered who that person was.
The silk scarf that never disappears at the neckline is her signature
Therefore, the elders did not punish the "dereliction of duty" duke too much, because she quelled the crisis of Zmixi nobles breaking into the presbytery, but the countless conversations and inquiries that followed still made the duke almost overwhelmed.
Therefore, on the one hand, in order to avoid the fierce pursuit of the elders, and on the other hand, out of the need to unite various forces, Duke Qiangwei went missing.
After her appearance, the Presbyterian Church has split into two parties, the Prince's Party and the Duke's Party.As the backbone of the Proseus coup that year, the Princely Party naturally supported the leader Proseus. Most of them were veteran generals in the early days of the Millennium Jihad.The Duke Party gathered the hard-core allies of the former chief elder Apollo, as well as emerging politicians and generals who rose in the late millennium jihad.Originally, the Duke Party was a supporter of Apollo, the former Chief Elder, and lost power after the Proseus coup and Apollo's direct heir Duke Rose lost his memory, but now Auston appeared to reveal the truth. No need to keep a low profile.
The core of the Duke's party knew well that Duke Rose had a serious conflict with his so-called father, Prince Proseus, and what they had to do was to help the Duke to the throne and restore Apollo's rule as the chief.
Although the duke's current level of spiritual power is not as good as that of Proseus, her prestige in the family and even the world of blood clans cannot be compared with that of the gloomy and cold-looking Prince Proseus.
The Duke woke up from his contemplation. She suppressed the trembling of her wrist and closed the cap of the pen.
"Your Highness."
A staff member knelt on one knee, bowed his head and made a sound.
"what's up?"
The Duke stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, and put on the cloak embroidered with the crest of the Scepter family.
"You... haven't approved that document..."
"Let's stop here today, I'm tired."
The Duke's voice was calm, but there was an undeniable majesty in it.
"As ordered, Your Highness."
The Duke's toes twirled slightly, and in a flash of silver light, her figure disappeared.
"I'm downstairs."
Half an hour later, Leng Xing's phone vibrated, and she hurried downstairs after seeing the text message.
But what is waiting is——
A boy in a windbreaker, with golden brown hair and gleaming obsidian eyes.
She looked around, only the boy looked at her with folded arms.
"What are you doing..." She took out her mobile phone, but a boy she had never met before spoke up.
"Cold star."
"Huh? May I ask who you are?"
"Couldn't you recognize him after changing his appearance?" The boy walked forward slowly, his tall and slender figure covering Leng Xing, "Or, you don't need me to give a lecture at all?"
He stretched out his arm and held Leng Xing's finger, the slender white fingertips felt a biting chill like ice and snow.
The author has something to say:
Chapter 47 Homecoming (Medium)
"It's so cold..." Leng Xing withdrew his hands trembling, "Stop making trouble."
She realized that the Duke was teasing her.
"How did you become like this?"
Leng Xing took the Duke's hand and walked towards the dormitory, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of several classmates who saw it.
She actually dragged the boy into the girls' dormitory!
A classmate gestured to his companions with a strange look.
"Oh, it's nothing, that's his boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Why don't I know?"
"There are so many things you don't know."
No one could see, behind a figure with a backpack, after seeing Leng Xing's intimate movements with the boy with golden brown hair, he pursed his lips tightly and looked coldly in his eyes.
I see.
And another girl with golden brown hair disappeared silently after seeing the boy's figure.
Your Highness, since you are here, I can take a good rest.
There was a sly look in her chocolate-colored eyes.
"Because—" the Duke deliberately dragged his voice out, "Isn't your friend against Lily?"
"So you just..." She felt a little guilty. Could it be that because of this, the proud Duke did not hesitate to be wronged and pretended to be something else, just to keep her from being criticized?
"satisfied?"
The Duke did not take her word for it.
"Sorry, I……"
"I mean, are you happy with me the way I am?"
asked the Duke, pointing to his face.
Leng Xing secretly let out a long sigh of relief, she thought the Duke was dissatisfied with being forced to look like a boy.
"That..." She really wanted to say, I still like you just the way you are, but I was afraid of hurting the Duke's feelings.
"Satisfied?" she continued relentlessly.
"Hmm~" She took the Duke's hand and shook it, "I like it very much."
"Really?" The Duke turned his head to look at her, as if observing whether she was lying.
"Well, it's handsome, just the way I like it."
The boy in front of him, no matter his tall stature, his slender straight legs, his fair to almost morbid skin, his pair of deep obsidian-like eyes, and his heroic facial features, all fit Leng Xing's aesthetic standards.But... She still likes her Duke better.
"How does that compare to who I am?"
Leng Xing suddenly felt a little stiff.
What should I say.
To be honest, it was dissatisfaction with the duke's well-dressed outfit. If the duke wanted to return to his original appearance, then... a few people have seen that she is leading a boy just now. If she enters the dormitory and becomes a girl I can't tell.
To say that I prefer the way it is now is simply...for the Duke...
"Uh..." she stammered, "I like them all."
"Which one do you prefer?" The soft voice was bewitching.
"One...like the same." She felt that she was definitely not a human being inside and out.
There is no doubt that the Duke was very upset after hearing the few words before closing the line.
But the feeling of discomfort was only for a moment, and after a moment, she began to think about other more important things.
However, when the unhappy review of documents was over, and when she remembered what she had said about her "boyfriend", the poor student Leng Xing, as expected... a tragedy.
The Duke's face darkened instantly, and the other hand in his pocket was clenched.
"Um... are you busy today?"
Feeling that the air nearby had frozen, Leng Xing had nothing to say.
"It's okay. It's just..." The Duke frowned involuntarily.
"What is it?" Leng Xing opened his eyes wide, looking up at the Duke.
"It's nothing." The Duke's eyes met Leng Xing's, and she smiled for a moment, "I can handle it well."
Seeing the tangled thoughts in Leng Xing's heart, she couldn't help laughing.
"Cold star."
"Ok?"
"From now on, just say whatever you think in your heart, don't be afraid that I will get angry."
Really, this little guy was afraid that she would get angry, so he "leveled the bowl of water", but it actually made her suspicious.
"Then you should be too. Always play around with me."
"Wait, let's talk about it when there is no one else."
The Duke bent down and leaned into her ear and said, the thin air current made Leng Xing almost jump up.
"Don't be so..." She blushed and thumped the Duke.
"how?"
"ambiguous."
"Hey, we're..."
"I know, I know, wait a minute, let's talk about it when there is no one else."
While talking, the two walked over.
"I dragged him here~ Mina-san has been saved now!"
"Wow~ handsome guy!"
Before the Duke could say anything, there was a voice of exclamation from the dormitory.
"This is little B, this is little N, and this is little Y." Leng Xing introduced to the Duke one by one, and then turned to the three roommates, "This is the person you mentioned. He studies finance, medical advanced mathematics, etc. It's a piece of cake. Of course, he said it."
The Duke smiled at the three of them.
"We don't know your name yet." The roommates winked at Leng Xing.
"he is……"
Leng Xing couldn't help but feel his mouth dry, the Duke doesn't have a name!Is she going to tell the three of them, please call this "boy" Rose Duke?
"The court decision."
There was a bang in Leng Xing's head, she supported the table, feeling her hands and feet were a little weak.
Just like when I met him for the second time, she is really messing around!
"Duke? Is it the duke of the duke uncle?"
Sure enough, her roommates were a little suspicious.
The Duke flashed a perfect eight-toothed smile.
"Well... no, the palace of the palace, the decision."
Leng Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now her heart was in her throat.
"What's the problem? Leng Xing said that your advanced mathematics teacher's lectures are not very clear."
The Duke's voice was soft, like a gentleman.
"It's more than unclear!"
"She basically read it from PPT..."
"There is no point at all, we don't know many questions..."
"It doesn't matter." The boy showed a gentle smile, "I can do it all."
After the Duke spoke to them for nearly three hours, the hour hand had already pointed to eleven o'clock.
"I should go back, do you still know?"
"Nothing."
"If there is any more, I will ask him to tell me, and I will tell you. Goodbye~"
Leng Xing waved at the Duke.
"Aren't you going to send your boyfriend off?"
Seeing Leng Xing waving his hand, the Duke didn't express any dissatisfaction, and quietly closed the door and left.
"Oh yes, I have something to ask him."
After Leng Xing finished speaking, he hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and rushed out of the dormitory.
"Wait a minute—"
The Duke turned around.
"Why did you come out?" Aren't you going to let me go back by myself?
"I was wrong, I was wrong... I shouldn't have left you alone."
Leng Xing ran towards the Duke in a hurry and almost tripped.
"Slow down." The Duke's figure flickered, and he appeared in front of her in an instant to support her, "I haven't put on my clothes yet, aren't you afraid of catching cold?"
Gently raised his hand to help her straighten her neckline.
"Thank you." Leng Xing felt a little guilty for leaving her alone, and she held the Duke's hand.
"It's cold." The Duke withdrew his hand, avoiding her eyes.
"I would." She held it again, and this time the Duke didn't take it out again.
"Leng Xing, I became like this not only because of what I just said."
"why?"
"Someone is following me." She leaned over and whispered.
"what?!"
"Shh, you woke them up." The Duke pointed to the dormitories on both sides of the corridor that had already turned off the lights, "I'll talk about it in detail later."
"So you're not safe right now?!"
After listening to the duke's explanation, Leng Xing looked worried.
"Proseus has always been suspicious, and some nobles in Le Senbai, the so-called 'fiancé' I told you last time, have been trying to murder me."
The Duke hugged Leng Xing and let her rest her head on his shoulder.
"However, don't worry too much." Gently stroking Leng Xing's hair, her eyes fell on the void in the distance, "I just need to show up in a different form, so..."
"That's why you turned into a boy and came to me?"
"Not quite. I'm not a 'boy', I'm a Markus."
"Who is Marcus?"
"Captain of my Praetorian Guard."
The duke has changed back to his old self.
"No wonder! I just said that there is something wrong with your appearance. You are jealous after hearing me say that you are so good-looking, right? Hahahaha..." Leng Xing laughed so hard that his face cramped when he saw the Duke's angry look.
The Duke glared at her angrily, then turned away.
"Okay, okay, I'm joking with you." Leng Xing stretched out his hand and pulled the Duke's face back, "Don't be angry again."
After that, a hand got into her clothes and tickled her mischievously.
"Ouch...don't scratch..." The Duke's iceberg-like face couldn't hold back anymore, and she couldn't help laughing, trying to avoid that troublesome hand.
"You promise me that you won't be angry again."
"Hahaha...I don't...hahaha...I promise, I promise."
The duke couldn't bear it any longer.She is not afraid of pain, but she is afraid of tickle, especially Leng Xing kept scratching her waist, which made her laugh non-stop, and her face almost became stiff.
"Is that right..."
Just as Leng Xing stopped what he was doing, the Duke put his arms around her and kissed her hard on the lips.
"You have learned to tease me? Huh?"
As lips and teeth grind together, the Duke's voice has an indescribable charm.Leng Xing's face was flushed by the kiss, and she couldn't restrain a few low moans from her throat. She felt that the oxygen in her lungs had been plundered by the Duke.
"Who told you to shake my face..." She tilted her head slightly, took a big breath of air, and then kissed the Duke back more fiercely, biting her lips deliberately, "As long as you are angry, don't let me tease you? "
The Duke's lips were stained bright red by the bleeding, and with her pale face, she really looked like an out-and-out vampire.
"Because you let me leave by myself, is this my reward for serving you?" The Duke ignored the blood on his lips and kissed her again, and the bloody breath spread in their mouths.
"Aren't you in pain..." After the intense kiss was over, Leng Xing said in a low voice.
"How could it not hurt? Especially you." She made a pun.
"I'm sorry, I just..." She licked lightly with the tip of her tongue, and soon the wound stopped bleeding.
"Don't apologize. It's not all because of you that you are in a bad mood today."
"That is?"
"The Council of Elders is going to interfere with the military affairs."
Leng Xing's heart couldn't help beating wildly, and she caught a glimpse of the Duke's hands clenched into fists.It was less than a week before Mars' assassination of the prince and the official conflict between Proseus and the Duke.
The author has something to say:
Chapter 48 Homecoming (Part [-])
Since that night, the Duke hasn't seen Leng Xing again for several days.It's not that she's having trouble with "becoming a boy" or anything else, it's just that there are more and more spies staring at her, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for her to pretend to be someone else.In order not to get Leng Xing into unnecessary trouble, she had no choice but to endure it first.
"Marcus, get out." The Duke appeared in the study out of thin air.
After Leng Xing fell asleep, the Duke got up again, got dressed and left.
"Yes, Your Highness." The man in military uniform bowed to the Duke and left.
"Thanks for your hard work."
In order to deceive others, after the Duke left the temporary military headquarters that day, she returned to the castle, called Markus into the study, and left the castle pretending to be him, then went to her apartment to change into human clothes, and then went to Leng Xing .
So Marcus stayed there in place of the Duke.Anyway, if the Duke talks to her captain of the Guards, no one will dare to break in.As for those spies... They were even more afraid because they were afraid of being caught. The spies discovered by the Duke before were all injured or killed by her guards.
The reason why the Duke still tolerated the existence of these spies was to let the enemy relax their vigilance.
"Are you looking for your little lover again?" After Marcus left, a dark figure slowly walked out from the darkness with a playful voice.
"This seems to have nothing to do with you, His Royal Highness Prince Alston." The Duke replied nonchalantly, "The issue we should discuss is how to bring down Proseus and McGee, not my private life."
"Okay, so what are you going to do?" Alston walked to her desk, took off his cloak and sat down.His feet in cowhide boots rested leisurely on the Duke's table. The Duke's lips twitched, but he finally held back.
"McGee planted some people in front of Proseus, do you know who they are?"
"Proseus also placed some people in front of McGee, do you know who it is?"
"Auston, if we can't stop tempting each other, sooner or later, my fate is to be married to McGee, and you will be framed by McKee to death." The Duke flipped through a book in his hand without looking up. .
Auston's blood-red eyes were uncertain, and for a moment, he said in a low voice, "I know."
"I don't know what Proseus did. The only thing I know now is that Mars was bought by McGee. However, the Elders are attacking Proseus recently, and he can't spare time to control his spies. .”
"Ah, that's natural. I've heard about the messy things that your uncle destroyed the Vatican Army, and now they're talking about the disappearance of Mars again, because your generals have made a lot of tricks. "
Alston spoke lightly, and the Duke was annoyed to hear his tone tinged with sarcasm.
"I have nothing to do with Proseus." She scowled.
"Understood. Mars hadn't planned to do anything to Proseus at first, but after being agitated by your words, he probably couldn't hold back anymore. It must be time for him to do something in a few days."
"That's hard to say." The Duke stared at a line of words carefully, looking thoughtful, "It's not safe to put all the chips on Mars, I need to mess up a bit more."
"How about I let Cole..."
"Don't!" the Duke raised a hand to stop him, his usually emotionless eyes were turbulent, "Proseus is still useful. If you ask Cole to kill Proseus, McGee will notice. Besides, Cole's business has not yet been settled."
There was a look of cruelty in her eyes.
"I didn't send Cole to kill you," Alston clarified.He may not be able to resist the Duke's anger, after all, her spiritual power has increased day by day since the seal was released.
"I know. I'm going to get it back from McKee sooner or later."
McGee planned to assassinate her once but failed, and unexpectedly came a second time.If she could spare McGee, she wouldn't be a vengeful Duke of Rose.
"It's too early to say these things, the key is..."
"How to let them kill each other."
"In other words, Proseus needs to find out about Mars and McGee."
"Better force him to shoot McGee."
"But it can't be too much, or it will be difficult for me to turn things around later." Oston moved his legs and changed his posture. "I think you don't want to start a war between Vanjo and Le Senbai."
"That's natural. Once Fanzhuo and Le Senbai confront each other, it is actually no different from the confrontation between Camarilla and Sabat."
Before the signing of the Emerald City Agreement, she spent an unknown amount of brain cells, went through life and death countless times, and sacrificed countless soldiers in exchange for the stable situation where Vanjoy leads the secret party today.Once the Second Millennium Jihad broke out... She didn't dare to think how many people would be involved.Besides, the turmoil in the political situation and the chaos in the blood race world were not the results she wanted.
Therefore, the situation must be chaotic, so chaotic that the political opponents can't hold back and kill each other, but it can't be too chaotic, and it must be within her control.Her goal is to defeat Proseus so as to gain the highest power in the military and achieve the purpose of manipulating the Presbyterian Church, instead of causing internal chaos in Vanjo, so as to give other families who are about to make a move.
"I need to go back, otherwise McGee's spies will become suspicious if I haven't seen me for a long time." Alston stood up, straightened his clothes, and tied his cloak, "Don't get yourself involved, I still I need you." His voice was cold, and he looked like a collaborator who was just using each other with the Duke.
He turned his back to the duke, and there was an unforgettable feeling in his eyes but he had to hide it.
"Yes. No."
The Duke replied lazily.She picked up the crystal cup and took a sip of blood.
After Auston's figure disappeared, she slowly walked out of the study and walked into her bedroom.With a flash of silver light, she disappeared in Shura Castle.
Total darkness.
She looked at Leng Xing who was already asleep, and quietly took her into her arms.
"Baby, I will definitely stand at the highest place and keep you from any harm."
Whispering to her, the Duke stroked her silky black hair and closed his eyes.
When Leng Xing woke up the next day, the Duke was gone, leaving only a steaming breakfast and a note on the table.
Then, as the Duke had expected, Myers lost his composure.
"His Royal Highness, Duke Rose, you must save me." The God of War who was feared in the past actually knelt down in front of her, with a pleasing expression on his face.
"Save you? What did you do that require me to save you?" The Duke pretended not to know, and walked around the study with his arms folded, with a leisurely expression.
"His Royal Highness, I don't know what kind of slander he has heard. He thinks that I will harm him, and is arresting me everywhere. Your Excellency, only you can save me!"
The Duke looked at the terrified look on the face of Proseus's Guards Commander, and felt extremely amused.He is obviously just a duke whose spiritual power is not as good as his, but there are still times when he begs himself.
Of course, except for Auston, no one knew that the Duke's level of spiritual power was approaching that of the Prince.
"My lord Mars, I dare not do it." The Duke stretched out his white-gloved hand to help him up, "Please explain in detail."
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you..." Mars was so moved that he almost threw himself to the ground.Although the Duke's spiritual power is not as good as his appearance on the surface, the Duke is Proseus's "natural daughter" and a pure-blooded nobleman. The duke who plans to win is far behind in terms of brains and status.
The Duke had expected this.In fact, she was the one who initiated the so-called rumors that Mars plotted against Proseus and plotted to assassinate him. It was only because she had discovered the ulterior secret between McGee and Mars.And after this inexplicable rumor spread, the "protagonist" Proseus couldn't sit still anymore. He secretly investigated, and the result surprised him—his guard captain was really bought by McGee !
His Royal Highness Prince Proseus started his career with a coup d'etat in the army. He was always on guard against the same thing happening to him, and his suspicions were extremely serious. In addition, his methods have always been vicious and brutal, so even a person like Mars is afraid of him. .As soon as the rumors came out, the prince didn't move at all, which made the commander of the guards on the fence even more anxious, restless, afraid that some unexpected disaster would happen to him.
People often fear not death, but the unknown.
After listening to Mars's defense and almost crying pleading, the Duke's heart was full of contempt for him.
The majestic Vatican God of War crawled at her feet like a dog, without any dignity at all, which made her feel very disgusted and contemptuous.As a pure-blood, she has an extremely arrogant personality, and what she looks down on most is begging for mercy.
Even if she could save Mars, she would not fight for this kind of person, not to mention that he was originally a pawn used to deal with Proseus.Chess pieces exist only because they are useful.
"I'm really innocent! I've never felt that way about His Royal Highness!"
The first half of Mars' sentence is undoubtedly sophistry, but the second half is indeed the truth.
"Master Mars, the important thing is whether your father thinks you are doing this, rather than whether you really have this intention." The Duke folded his arms, pacing, and said slowly, "So, what is the truth, yes It doesn't matter to me."
In the end, her tone was as soft as silk.Moreover, she also showed a meaningful smile, which made the captain of the Wall Grass Imperial Guard tremble even more.
The implication is that I don't care whether you are innocent or not, if Proseus thinks you are guilty, you will be hard to escape.
That is natural. Political struggles never care about the truth, only what is shown.The duke made Proseus suspicious, and her goal had been achieved.
She was pushing Mars in a cornered direction.
"Then...then what should I do..."
The Grand Duke of Mars muttered to himself with blank eyes, his eyes were fixed on the white wool carpet in the Duke's study, as if he wanted to make a hole in it.
"Master Mars, to tell you the truth, my father said that he already knew about you and Prince McGee of Le Senbai." Her face was calm, her tone was casual, and she didn't want to talk about such life-and-death matters at all, "So, He ordered me to arrest you."
Mars's face instantly became paler than before, and after a while, it was filled with a look of death.
"This is slander!" he yelled, the lines on his face were as deep as furrows, "It's those bastards with bad intentions who are slandering me!"
bastard?The Duke sneered inwardly.Aren't you a bastard yourself?Moreover, he was obviously not clear with McGee, and even pretended to be innocent.However, she did not express her inner thoughts on her face at all.
"But, I don't intend to do that." She said leisurely, playing with her hair with her fingers.
"Why, Your Highness?" There was hope in Mars's eyes, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Because, he actually cut my military power! I have always been conscientious and hard-working, and he used the excuse of dereliction of duty as an excuse to retaliate! How could I work for such an unreasonable person?! Not only that, he also did a lot of things that made me unable to Things to tolerate!" said the Duke angrily.She changed her face as if performing a Sichuan opera. One second she was playing with her hair comfortably, but the next moment she was so angry that her teeth were trembling.
Acting is acting, and what she said was indeed true, so—falsely true and false, her performance was more convincing than pure lies, and it did not arouse Mars' suspicion.
"So Your Highness..."
"It would be a disaster for such a cruel person to stay in Fanzhuo!" the Duke said harshly.
"So... why don't we work together to get rid of him?" In Mars' eyes, it could already be called a surprise.The Duke of Rose is really the right one!
Sure enough, they have the same brainlessness as McGee, one has a bad temper and the other has no plans, no wonder they hit it off.the duke thought to himself.
However, of course, chess pieces can't be too smart, otherwise how can they be used with confidence?
Mars is indeed an ideal pawn.
"But... my spiritual power is really far behind..." The Duke looked puzzled, "You also know that during the Millennium Jihad, I was only making suggestions, and I was seriously injured several times on the battlefield. If you hadn't led the army to the front Fight bravely, presumably... Fan Zhuo no longer exists! You are a hero of Fan Zhuo!" The Duke looked sincere, as if he was presenting an award to the top ten people who moved China.
The implication is that she is not suitable to assassinate Proseus, because she does not have enough spiritual power, which is tantamount to seeking her own death.However, she can advise Mars.By the way, she mentioned that Mars is a hero, which will only make the simple-minded Mars hate Proseus even more when he thinks back to the past glory and the current desolation.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave it to me! But you have to..." Fearing that the Duke would finally decide that it would be better to surrender himself, Mars hurriedly agreed.Although he is brave and foolhardy, he knows that Duke Qiangwei sticks to his word, as long as he agrees to cooperate, he will not change his mind, so he will be saved.
After all, His Royal Highness, who distrusts anyone and has a violent personality like Proseus, will never forgive betrayal.
"I will make your actions foolproof. Lord Mars, just to be on the safe side, you should stay in Shura Castle temporarily, after all, Proseus has been looking for you everywhere recently." In case he betrayed himself, he ran to inform Proseus in exchange for a glimmer of life.To put it bluntly, she is more ruthless and suspicious than Proseus, but she is very good at acting and will never let others notice.
"Thank you, Your Highness..."
"Master Mars, why should you be so polite? You are a hero of Vatican. This really frustrates me." Seeing that Mars was about to bow down again, the Duke hurriedly helped him up.
"Yes, Your Highness."
On January 1, when Prince Proseus gave a speech to the army, Mars publicly accused Proseus of the atrocities and assassinated the prince. Although His Royal Highness had been prepared, he was seriously injured.
At this moment, Marquis Marquis, the commander of the Duke's Imperial Guard, arrived with the Duke's Imperial Guard, and cooperated with other military generals present to capture Mars, who was plotting to assassinate the Prince.
"That bitch actually betrayed me!" Seeing the Duke's most trusted Marcus appear, Mars instantly realized that he was being used by the Duke, so he began to yell.
"Shut up, you are not allowed to insult Your Highness." Raising his hand that was glowing with blue light, Marcus slapped the face of Mars who was unable to move but was still yelling. It looked like a horse bloodthirsty wolf.Marston was at a loss for words, "How dare you slander Your Highness and sow discord! Detain him and put him in prison!"
The point of Markarth's sword gleamed sharply, and he himself was like a knife just drawn.
He would fight desperately with anyone who dared to insult his lord, Duke Rose.
"Put him in the first prison!" Prince Proseus, who was still bleeding, said in a gloomy tone, and all the vampires present gasped.
The first prison is synonymous with death, no blood race has ever walked out of the first prison alive.
What a waste, I thought he could die with Proseus.Overrated him.
Looking at Mars being escorted away, the Duke hiding in the dark couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.It seems that in order to completely bring down Proseus, she still needs to act personally.
The magic circle that imprisoned the spiritual power was completed in an instant, and the Duke of Mars, who could not be assassinated, was taken down by the blood guards.Since then, with great achievements in battle, the once unparalleled God of War has never appeared again.
On the same day, Leng Xing finished the last course - University Computer Fundamentals, or "Da Ji Ji" for short.
Not answering the phone calls, not replying to the text messages, and not seeing the Duke for nearly half a week, Leng Xing finally couldn't bear it this time.
The joy of finishing the exam was gone, Leng Xing thought about it, and suddenly remembered the scene when the Duke brought her to the company that day.Could it be... Where can I find her?
She rushed to her company in a hurry, and the skyscrapers stood in front of her, but the guards refused to let her go because she didn't have an ID card.
"I'm here to find someone!" Leng Xing almost jumped up.
"Who are you looking for?" The guard looked alert, staring at her like a falcon.
"Uh..." She didn't know exactly what pseudonym the Duke used.
Just when she was about to give up hope, the guard answered the phone.
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Then, he actually let Leng Xing in!
Leng Xing was striding forward, without paying attention, he bumped into a person directly.
"I'm sorry..." She hurriedly apologized and looked up to see——
The young girl, taller than the duke, wore a well-tailored slim suit with a loose silver silk scarf around the collar.She was looking down at Leng Xing, like a big iceberg.
Leng Xing felt that the person in front of him had a strong sense of metal—the long blond hair fluttered lightly, the silver eyes looked at her motionlessly, and the unique icy aura of metal came over his face.
"Hello, Miss Leng."
It is clearly a pure Western face, but the Chinese pronunciation is very standard, but a little blunt.
"May I ask who you are?" Leng Xing inexplicably felt that the iceberg beauty in front of him looked familiar.
"Selina von Williams, your Duke's office is on the 72nd floor." The girl leaned down and whispered to her.
How does she know who I'm looking for!
After finishing speaking, the girl walked away gracefully with her notebook in her hand, followed by several people in suits chasing her profusely, shouting, "Please wait a moment, chairman—"
The girl's magnetic voice that didn't match her cool face sounded: "Ineverwaitforpeoplewhocannotkeepupwithmypace."[1]
Leng Xing's body froze involuntarily.She remembered who that person was.
