But thinking about it this way, he can also understand the duke's cautious attitude. Whoever he chooses at this time will be dissatisfied with the other, and he may not be able to maintain a friendly stance. Before he can think of a way to get the best of both worlds, hesitating might be the opposite. is the best solution.

Unaware that the old butler's mind had already moved to raising cubs, Langdon sighed and said, "Let the princess wait, and ask her what's urgent..."

The old butler bowed and was about to close the door when he heard Langdon talking to the saint again.

"What new dishes did you say you developed?"

The saint's tone was flat: "It's nothing, I just said it casually, let's eat whatever the cook does, I'm very tired today."

The old butler: "..."

Although the Duke chose to stay with the Holy Maiden, Her Highness the Holy Maiden was not very happy...

After all, at a time like this, it sounds like the Duke still wants His Royal Highness to cook... what are you thinking!Her Royal Highness is here at this time, maybe she will stay for dinner too!Do you want the saint to cook for the princess? !How could the saint be happy!

The old housekeeper closed the door silently, his heart filled with sorrow.

If things go on like this, won't the duke really make both sides angry before he makes a choice...

"...Three may be more stable and can restrain each other, but two are easy to fall into the dilemma of choice..."

The passing maid stared blankly at the old butler who was thinking about leaving, not understanding what he was talking about.

Soon, the old housekeeper saw Bellatrix who was waiting in the flower hall again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, but the Duke has something to do right now..."

Relying on the fact that outsiders thought she was an informal elf character, Bellatrix asked directly, "Is the saint there?"

She has seen the carriage of the temple!

The old housekeeper paused for a moment, and replied: "...Yes."

Although I didn't really want to mention that other girls were with the Duke in front of the princess, but this is really hard to refute. After all, it is a fact. If you can guess so accurately, you may already know something.

Fortunately, it was different from Her Highness the Princess last time. This time it was not midnight. The saint came here aboveboard, and it was normal for her to appear in the Duke's study, so it was not hard to say.

After getting the confirmation, Bellatris snorted and spread her fan: "So that's it, this time the saint is chosen... The Duke is really..."

I like serving water.

Anyway, Bellatrix refused to accept that Langdon simply didn't want to see her.

She raised her chin: "Forget it, if the Duke asks, just say, I'm here for Helena's business."

I believe that after hearing this reason, Langdon will no longer be able to avoid her.

Not to mention Langdon, the old butler's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he bowed again: "Yes, I will tell the Duke right now."

Sure enough, when the old butler came again, he respectfully invited Bellatrix to the study.

Flora didn't leave, because as soon as she heard Bellatrice's reason, she immediately said that she had the right to speak, and it was better to be there.

This proposal fit Langdon's liking, and he didn't like being alone with Bellatrix, it was too tiring, so as soon as Bellatrix entered the door, Langdon and Flora looked at her at the same time.

Bellatrix paused.

...This is a bit too much!Last time Langdon drove her away to see Flora!

This bowl of water is not level!

She suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Langdon didn't know why Bellatrix seemed to be in a bad mood suddenly, so he invited her to take a seat normally, asked the maid to go out after pouring tea, and then said.

"Still wondering why you came here, it turned out to be for Helena..."

Bellatrix glanced at Flora who was secretly watching her and Langdon get along. Although she was still unhappy, she still showed a sweet smile.

"I can't help it. At the beginning you entrusted Helena to me, saying that only I can help you. This is your lifelong request... Of course I have to care about Helena! It turned out to be so big You didn't tell me about it, I'm so sad..."

Flora: "...!!!"

Flora's eyes suddenly sharpened.

What! ?What do you mean only the princess can help Langdon?So what is she doing now?When she is dead? !

And what a lifelong request... Isn't this a marriage proposal line? !What is Langdon doing!No matter how much you want to get rid of Helena, you can't ask others with this line!

The corner of Langdon's mouth twitched, hoping that Bellatrix could speak well: "If you mean what happened to Lilica and Helena two days ago, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but you are very busy these days, right? ?"

Although she is not a queen, she is the birth mother of an elf princess after all, which can be regarded as a major contribution to the empire.

Therefore, after the death of Bellatrix's mother, although it was only confined to the palace, it is said that the scene was quite grand and gorgeous. Bellatrix, as her biological daughter, was busy with related matters these days.

Bellatrix was so busy that she didn't come these days, she didn't even go to bail Lilica to eat melons, and she just came out of the palace today.

"No, I'm not talking about that." Bellatrix said, "I just want to ask, what happened to Helena's amnesia...can I go and see?"

[ps: add more!Good night everyone~]

45. Langdon: At least don't pick things up in front of me (6k)

Langdon knew right away that Bellatrix was looking for fun again.

But now Langdon is not afraid of her, he knows that Bellatrix is ​​a king of mouth, so he won't really give him up just because he refuses something, and Langdon himself has nothing to threaten Yes, so he said indifferently.

"No, why are you going to see Helena? You don't know each other well, do you?"

Bellatrix showed an aggrieved expression: "How can you say that you are not familiar? I accepted your request anyway, and comforted Miss Helena for a long time..."

"She doesn't need your comforting now."

"...Hmph." Bellatrix smiled meaningfully, "Because she has lost her memory?"

Langdon couldn't help frowning: "Where did you hear that?"

It's only been a few days since Siruneta took action. There should be very few insiders. Why does Bellatris in the palace know about it?

Bellatrix said leisurely: "You don't think that Lilica did it very covertly, do you?"

Although the security officer was concerned about the face of the nobles, he would definitely not speak out, but when the emperor asked, he still wanted to tell. As long as he said it, people might find out.

And this happened in the school. Even if the students didn't know it, the school staff who came to deal with the relevant affairs must have known it.

People who can hold a fixed position in the Imperial Magic School are not considered ordinary people. It is normal to know some nobles, and they will not talk nonsense, but they may quietly share gossip with the nobles they know.

After all, this thing is too rare!

Moreover, Helena's bloodline magic is a very rare defense system. If she hadn't been wearing the Stuart family sign, someone would have tried to win her over. Now that something happened to her, there are quite a lot of people paying attention.

The temple is not monolithic, it is just passing a little irrelevant news, this is not a matter of principle like the demons, as long as the money is enough, so Helena's suspected amnesia, in fact, there are people in a very small range who have already done it. knew.

"Actually, that's fine. The problem is that you actually put Miss Helena in the temple." Bellatrix tilted her head, "Do you know what this is in other people's eyes?"

Langdon frowned: "Think I... no, the Stuart family gave up on her? Are you kidding me?"

Anyway, he is also a blood mage of the defense department, didn't he just drive Helena out of the family without seeing the trouble he had with Helena before?

Now the new identity is just to put the adoption relationship on the separation, not to make it completely irrelevant... Although the main reason is to consider the rationality of the change of her identity from the people she knows, but Helena's identity as a defense magician, And it does have an impact.

"I don't know what other people think." Bellatrix showed a subtle smile, "But my second brother seems to be planning to win you over if you don't want it... I I think other people should also want to take the opportunity to contact Miss Helena."

Langdon suddenly realized.

That's why Bellatrix knew about it.

The situation is indeed similar to what Bellatrix said.

The consequence of insufficient information is that interested people will come to some strange conclusions after inquiring about it.

No way, who asked them to get the news like this——

The former guard of the Stuart family, Lilyka Knight, who is now a member of the Royal Knights, had a dispute with the adopted daughter of the Stuart family and severely injured the other party.

It is said that the cause of the dispute was the Duke of Stuart.

Although Lilica was imprisoned, she was not sentenced because of solid evidence. The attitude of the Stuart family was to ignore it, and there was no sign of retaliation at all, which showed that the Duke himself had no fluctuations in his heart about Helena's injury.

After Helena was cured, she had been thrown in the temple, and the Stuart family had no intention of taking her back. After careful inquiry, she had been placed under house arrest for a period of time on the grounds of recuperation, and this time it was even more direct. Amnesia...

Just tell me what conclusions a normal person can draw from this information.

Of course, only Langdon has no feelings for Helena, and only uses them. Helena also seems to have no feelings for Langdon. Lilica will do it, maybe because Helena feels that her wings are hard as a magician and she can betray her. But Lilica couldn't bear to see her old master being betrayed, so she personally eliminated the traitor...

As for why Langdon didn't appreciate it and let Lilica be imprisoned, of course it was for the sake of face, and he couldn't release people who hurt family members like this at will.

And Helena didn't die, she just lost her memory, maybe Langdon did something to control this rare defensive magician.

He refused to take it home, only dared to put it in the temple, maybe he did something bad, fearing that Helena would assassinate him after returning to normal.

Although I saw the clarification of the Duke of Stuart's reputation before, the nobles judged others by themselves, and felt that it might not be something out of nothing. Maybe this Helena was the victim.

Otherwise, how could a good adopted daughter be reduced to this kind of treatment.

...It can only be said that it is fortunate that Langdon does not know the brain circuits of these people, otherwise he would have asked his nephew to share his novel writing experience with them.

But it doesn't matter what these people think, Langdon just needs to know that some forces are tentatively approaching Helena.

In other words, the next actions of these forces depended entirely on Langdon's reaction.

If he didn't respond, they would try their best to win over Helena, and if there was a reaction... then they would try to win over Helena more covertly.

After thinking about the situation clearly, Langdon was a little speechless.

Although Flora has no political sense, but after thinking about it for a while, she can understand that Helena has been staying in the temple all the time, and it really doesn't look like a big deal to outsiders.

Flora, who was still suggesting Langdon to take a look at Helena just now, said the exact opposite.

"Although it's not good to stay in the temple...but it's impossible to let Helena go back to the Duke's mansion!"

In fact, Flora has always been a little skeptical that Langdon likes the personality of a gentle big sister... Among so many relatives who can be regarded as Langdon's sister, Cousin Mary does not meet Langdon the most times, but she has the best relationship with Langdon .

Flora didn't quite understand it before, but now she thinks she understands it. Ever since she knew that the Duchess was not that kind to Langdon, she felt that maybe it was a matter of the age gap. Cousin Mary treated Langdon like a son. , just made up for Langdon's lack of maternal love...

The current Helena might just be Langdon's favorite.

It is enough to meet and confirm the stability of the memory, and it is not bad to get along day and night!If Langdon's heart softens, there is no bottom line, who knows if he will forgive Helena after getting acquainted with such a Helena!

People have such double standards. When it's my turn, of course Langdon is kind and soft-hearted. When I cross the river, I want to burn the bridge.

Although Flora's proposal was selfish, Langdon thought so too.

"really……"

Bellatrix blinked: "Do you need my help? As long as you agree, I will persuade the emperor to let Miss Helena be my companion, so you don't have to worry about anything else, right?"

"...Forgive me for my refusal."

Langdon didn't trust Bellatrix to this extent, and when he thought of Helena falling into Lezi's hands, he was worried that new moths would emerge.

"After all, she is still a member of the Stuart family. Let her live in the other residence later... Actually, that's the original plan."

It's just that I originally planned to wait for Helena to fully adapt to the new identity, and make sure that her body and magic power are normal before talking about anything else, but now I can only advance.

If you live in the other residence, Shalltear can help take care of it, and you can react immediately if there are any changes. It is the Stuart family's house in name, and Helena will not be suspicious, so it is a good choice.

Bellatrix showed a somewhat disappointed expression.

Looking at the princess, Flora always felt that it was a little different from her impression. When she was in the Principality, the princess didn't seem to have such a casual attitude towards Langdon?

Although Princess Bellatrix had already been having night parties with Langdon all day long, when getting along, Flora could feel that the princess was carrying it.

Although a bit lively and willful, it does give people a sense of carrying.

Langdon, too, was a little wary of the princess, only pretending to be on good terms when necessary... Now Langdon is very relaxed in front of the princess.

...Sure enough, without her knowing, the relationship between these two people has made great progress, right? !

It was rare for Bellatrix to realize the change in Flora's mood after being half a beat behind.

Looking into Flora's suspicious eyes, she belatedly realized that she seemed to have accidentally relaxed too much in front of Langdon, forgetting to maintain her image in the eyes of others.

What a big mistake.

But Bellatrix didn't want to remedy it.

Maybe everyone who likes to pretend will encounter similar troubles, that is, they will worry that those who value them will not be able to accept their true colors.

As for the people Bellatris cared about, she couldn't be satisfied with one hand after counting them.

Among them, her mother has passed away, and her father prefers her true colors. As for Langdon... She considers Langdon to be her friend, and she cares more about Langdon's opinion than her father's opinion—fortunately, Langdon was in love with her from the beginning. Seeing through her true face, she avoided this problem perfectly.

Bellatrix still roughly maintains the previous appearance, it's just a matter of habit, and it would be troublesome if she really wants to change, but she is too lazy to pay attention to every detail as carefully as before, exposure will be exposed, she doesn't care anymore .
