"It's Her Royal Highness, she said that she has something very important to tell you... Look, is it convenient for you now?"

Langdon silently followed the hinted gaze of the old butler, looking at Bellatrix.

...Should he say it's convenient or inconvenient?

37. Stupidity (3k)

Flora sat in the flower hall on the first floor, waiting anxiously and jealously for the old housekeeper's response.

If she guessed correctly, Langdon must be with Princess Bellatris now, right?

Although based on her understanding of Langdon, there shouldn't be anything she didn't want to happen in the study, but just because she was still looking for a starting line, the fact that someone had secretly gone to the referee was enough to make her anxious. .

But, but... the princess comes here every day, so there must be nothing important. She told the old housekeeper that she has something very important to tell Langdon... Langdon should come to see her, right?

Or is it because of etiquette that you can't let go of the princess?

But when Princess Bellatrix came, she didn't show any etiquette. How rude to enter the house through the window!Did Langdon really allow the princess to act like this?

Flora was still thinking about Helena and Lilica along the way, but she was shocked by what happened to Bellatrix, and all she was left with was speculation about what Langdon and the princess were doing in private every night.

What the hell are you doing here every night?

I heard that it was telling stories, but Langdon was so busy, and it was strange that he had the patience to tell stories alone.

I didn't know that Bellatrix didn't come these days, but based on what she saw, she speculated that the tryst between the princess and Langdon continued from the Principality to the present. Flora thought sourly, she also wanted Langdon to give her tell a story……

Even if you don't tell her, this kind of treatment should obviously be reserved for Langdon's future children!

How old is Princess Bellatrix!What excuses are you looking for for chasing a man? You're not naive!

Flora was outraged.

The old housekeeper who went to look for Langdon never came back. Flora, who was a bit confident at first, began to feel like her days were like years.

God seemed to feel the same way as Flora. The already gloomy night sky gradually began to rain lightly, and then turned into a heavy rain after a while.

The sound of crackling rain can be heard endlessly, making Flora feel restless.

Just when Flora was about to drink up the tea in front of her, the old housekeeper finally came back.

He coughed lightly, pushed his reading glasses, and said in an apologetic tone: "Sorry, Your Highness, I kept you waiting..."

As soon as he said this apology, Flora's heart went cold for a while, but after hearing it later, she found that it was not a rejection, and a glimmer of hope rose again.

"Is Langdon willing to see me?"

The old butler looked embarrassed: "This... the duke is currently dealing with a more troublesome job, and he has no time to spare for the time being..."

The old butler's emotional intelligence was much higher than Langdon's. He knew exactly when to tell the truth and when not to tell the truth.

Even if you don’t mention some reasons for keeping things related to the duke secret, in front of a girl who obviously has a crush on the duke, if you want to refuse her request to meet her, you must not use another girl as a reason. Potentially eliciting some...well, not so friendly emotions.

Although many people in the duke's mansion seemed to know that the duke would have a tryst tonight, the saintess probably didn't know about it yet.

So the old butler felt that this level should be enough.

I believe that Her Royal Highness, who also helped to share part of the work in the Principality, probably understands how busy the Duke is usually. Using this as an excuse, Her Royal Highness must be able to understand.

However, for many things, the problem lies in the information gap.

If it had been another time, Flora might have believed it, but she had just seen Bellatrix enter Langdon's study through the window!

How could Flora believe what the old butler said that Langdon was busy with work now!

You know, Flora is much more sensible now than before, and it is impossible to come to Langdon when she is bored. As long as she comes, she will definitely bring Langdon's commission, or the information Langdon absolutely needs.

Under such circumstances, Langdon actually chose to accompany Bellatrix to do some boring things that he could do every day, instead of rejecting her obviously important meeting request... For Flora, it was considered a A serious blow.

Obviously Langdon behaved indifferently to Princess Bellatrix in front of her. Even if Flora had doubts, she still felt that compared with the princess, her winning rate was not low, and it was only when something happened that it was exposed in Langdon's mind. who is more important...

Flora was wronged.

If it was before, she would have felt ashamed and clamored to see Langdon, but now she could hold back her emotions and continued to ask, "How long will it take him to finish?"

"...I'm not very clear about this. I don't know what you want to tell the Duke? If it's really urgent..."

The old butler adjusted his glasses guiltily.

Before, he was worried that his Duke would not be enlightened, but he turned out to be the princess of the night party and the saintess again... He was really painful and happy to help the Duke balance the relationship between the girls.

If he is allowed to choose, he also thinks that it is better for the Duke to accompany the princess now.

When he was looking for the Duke just now, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Princess Bellatris's expression was not quite right, she looked dazed and sad...it was the time when I needed someone to comfort me!

At this time, how can you throw people aside and go to see another girl?

The duke probably had similar concerns, so after hesitating for a while, he chose to continue to accompany the princess.

But probably just in case, let him ask Flora what's the matter first, if it's really important.

Flora was silent for a few seconds, and replied unwillingly: "...Helena was suspected of being seriously injured by Lilica, and she just came back from the rescue. Lilica is still locked up by the security officer. In the daytime, the Royal Knights may also Gotta know."

Although Lilica did not admit it, according to her analysis, this is almost the case.

The old butler: "..."

This was a bit beyond his expectations.

Helena, Lilica, and Flora in front of them are actually grown up under the care of the old housekeeper... Of course, Lilica's situation is a bit delicate, but they are indeed familiar children.

These three girls used to have a good relationship with Langdon...then they became estranged for various reasons, but in the eyes of the old housekeeper, they were all young and tame.

Now, one of the kids comes up and says the other two have seriously injured one and put themselves in prison...

The amount of information was too much, and the old housekeeper couldn't recover for a long time.

What's the situation, are girls so hard-core when they have conflicts nowadays? !

The old butler took off his glasses with trembling hands, wiped them and put them back on again: "I'm sorry, this matter... I need to think about how to report it to the Duke."

After all, when he came back today, the Duke just said that there is no need to tell him about Miss Helena in the future!

But being stabbed half to death by Miss Lilica is too delicate, and the old housekeeper is not sure whether this situation can be reported.

"Does Your Highness know the reason?"

Flora's expression was subtle: "It's probably because of Langdon, Lilica seems to be venting her anger on Langdon."

The old butler: "..."

He could not understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Although the duke's face is indeed very attractive, it is already enough to make the old housekeeper worry that he will be single all his life. Unexpectedly, his duke not only served water between two girls, but also There is the treatment of becoming a disaster...

But understandable!Because in the eyes of the old housekeeper, his Duke is the best kid in the world!

But it was indeed too late, and the old butler wasn't quite sure how long Langdon and the princess would have to chat, and whether he would disturb anything by interjecting in the middle.

Fortunately, Langdon had given the order before, so the old butler asked naturally at this moment.

"The weather outside is not very good. The Duke said that if you are very tired, you can take a rest in the guest room, or do you want to come back tomorrow? It is also possible for me to tell the Duke. There should be nothing to add, right?"

Langdon said that he could stay overnight, because he was worried that Flora would be in a hurry to tell him and had to wait, so he might as well go to the bedroom to rest, because he felt that Bellatrix's side might not end soon.

Coupled with the violent storm outside, people have worked so hard to come here at night, and it is too much for you to let people go back under the rain without seeing you.

It might be embarrassing to change other female guests, but it would be much easier to change Flora. It's not that she hasn't stayed here before, so this proposal is not rude at all.

Of course, if Flora doesn't want to stay, she must go, and he won't stop her.

But for Flora, there was only one answer to this question.

In fact, Flora, who was so sleepy that she was dying, said categorically: "Please take me to the guest room. I have been sleeping late recently, so I probably won't be able to sleep. Please tell me immediately when the Duke finishes his work."

"...Okay, please follow me."

Langdon, who was still in the study, felt a little sympathetic with Flora just now.

He also has a feeling that the days seem like years.

Bellatrix's family conflicts were too complicated, he really didn't know how to speak so as not to step on the thunder, but Bellatrix looked pitiful like never before.

She was clearly heartbroken by her mother, but she insisted on putting on an attitude of "hehe, I didn't expect anything, but now it's just confirming my idea" to try to be brave, her eyes were red with patience, her golden eyes His eyes were filled with tears, as if the tears would fall at any moment...

Compared with the usual strong and brutal, the contrast is too great, and it shows that her inner trauma is serious.

Maybe Bellatrix didn't know it herself, but her behavior, and the way she went straight to him after leaving the palace, seemed to be asking Langdon for help, and Langdon couldn't ignore it.

Fortunately, Bellatris didn't need Langdon to talk too much. As before, she talked about it by herself, and her mood immediately improved a lot.

Langdon was more sympathetic.

Obviously, this person doesn't even have anyone who can say such a thing, so he can only hold him, a person he just met not long ago...

Bellatrix rubbed her eyes, and casually said another royal secret: "...Even Father told Mother that he might make me queen, but Mother didn't even look at me..."

"That's it, that's really..."

Halfway through Langdon's trickery, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait, what queen?"

[ps: Add more, pay off once you owe it once, good night everyone~]

38. Princess: My life is like a joke (3k)

Of course, Langdon knew that there was some undercurrent in the royal family recently. After all, he had been secretly wooed by several princes, and there were princes in the newspaper office who wanted to make money. Didn't he know that?

Even the fact that Bellatrix might have a hand in it, he actually had some guesses. After all, it was he who accidentally slipped the tongue and opened up Bellatrix's thinking.

But... Isn't Bellatrix busy with her seriously ill mother these days?

Langdon thought that at such a time, Bellatris would not have the energy to do anything else... What happened in the end, the emperor actually preferred Bellatris, who is the princess, among all the princes?

"What did you do?" Langdon couldn't help asking.

Bellatrix didn't react at first, she looked up blankly: "What did you do?"

It took a few seconds for her brain circuit to break away from the mother's point and understand Langdon's point.

"...I didn't do anything." Bellatrix's expression became a little subtle and complicated, "I just said some...well, not very good things to my father."

At that time, she had just confessed to Langdon that her mood swings were severe, and Langdon also told her not to be patient anymore.

After returning to the palace, seeing the emperor, the chief culprit who caused her and her mother's tragedy, Bellatris couldn't hold back for a while, and became angry.

She was thinking at the time, anyway, her mother was dying, and she herself was an elf mage with high hopes in the August Empire. No matter what she did at this time, she would be forgiven, so it’s okay to indulge her true feelings a little bit, the worst thing is to wait until later Playing it back again, everyone will only think that she is emotionally unstable because of her mother's illness.

What I didn't expect was that instead of blaming her, the emperor expressed relief after being surprised, so that he could feel at ease.

What are you worrying about?Her current behavior doesn't look like a pure and flawless elf at all, does she?

Is it to the extent that my mother will definitely beat and scold her furiously when she sees it?Father is still happy, is there something wrong with his brain?

Bellatrix couldn't understand it, and even if she could understand it, she didn't want to accept it. She wished that her father, like her mother, expected her to be more like an elf.

Otherwise, otherwise, in these years, so many inexplicable expectations, so many meaningless requests...

If the royal father actually prefers the real her, wouldn't all her hard work these years be unnecessary? !

It was the first time that Bellatrix's acting skills could not be used in front of the emperor. She asked reluctantly, "Are you joking? Mother said, you want me to be like a real elf."

"No, if you are really like those elves, I will have a headache." The emperor replied naturally, "It's better to be sharp and tempered, so that it won't be easy to be calculated by others."

If he wanted to marry his son, the emperor certainly hoped to find a daughter-in-law who was virtuous, considerate and patient.

But my own daughter... Of course, I would rather my daughter bully others than let others bully my own daughter!Otherwise, he would lose face!

Moreover, Bellatrix is ​​not an ordinary daughter, she is a grown-up elf mage who was born in the August royal family hundreds of years ago. Protect the royal family and fight against the demons!

If the character is weak and easy to bully, he may be manipulated in various ways in the future, and if he is used by people with ulterior motives, a careless one may even have the opposite effect.

So the emperor has been struggling all the time, wanting to find someone less ambitious for Bellatrix, who can do it even if she can't protect her wife, so she won't use Bellatrix at will, and it is best to have the same position as the August royal family. s husband.

Of course, there is also the purpose of using Bellatrix to win over the other party. The emperor never does things with pure good intentions-even if he doesn't really know his daughter very well, as a feudal emperor, he is indeed The emperor's position is basically for the sake of Bellatrix.

Therefore, after discovering that Bellatrix was not as innocent and easy to deceive as he imagined, the emperor was actually ecstatic in his heart.
