Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

"Thank you for your concern, but it's okay."

Langdon nodded and watched the two leave. The door of the reception room closed again, and then his eyes returned to Helena.

During this period, Helena sat quietly on the sofa, only occasionally coughing a few times.

However, she was coughing frequently. Langdon carefully observed for a few seconds, and found that Helena's pale face showed abnormal blood, and her breathing was also irregular, as if it was a bit difficult.

"...Are you running a fever? Why are you running around while you have a fever?"

"Sorry." Helena said with a sigh, "I just wanted to see you so much."

The familiar words and the peaceful attitude he hadn't seen for a long time made Langdon's psychological defenses relax a little bit.

He recalled it and remembered why he felt familiar.

Long ago, when he was a child, Helena had been suddenly estranged from him because of the heavy workload.

Langdon has been very emotional since he was a child. When he saw Helena occasionally, he felt that Helena was very tired and wanted Helena to rest. So he wanted to use the excuse of playing with him to beg his mother to give Helena a vacation.

But his mother said to him: "No, Helena also has important things to do."

"Then how can I get my sister to accompany me?"

The mother smiled and said, "If Langdon is sick, she will come to see Langdon worriedly, right? Langdon will be more important than her homework then."

Little Langdon understood this sentence.

So he learned the skill of pretending to be sick without a teacher, and would pretend to be sick every now and then, so that Helena could accompany him and have a little respite from the heavy schoolwork.

At first, Helena was really worried about him.

She would give up rest and stay with little Langdon, telling him stories and rubbing his "sore stomach".

During that time, it should be the best time for him to have the best relationship with Helena.

Why, the relationship between the two has become like this now?

"Langdon?" Helena noticed that Langdon was distracted, and called softly.

"Ah, it's nothing." Perhaps because of the fond memories, Langdon's attitude towards Helena softened a bit, "You just came to see me, nothing else?"

If it's just like this, it's not impossible, as long as Helena doesn't say those spoiling things, and be a normal sister... He also hopes that the two can return to the intimacy they once had.

"Because Lilica said that you may be suspecting me of pretending to be sick, so I think I should ask you to explain this matter no matter what."

"Is that so..."

Langdon was at a loss for words.

He really suspected it before, because he was a good at pretending to be sick when he was a child... Sigh, I didn't expect it to be true, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Let me ask the doctor to come and see it for you. The disease can be cured by resting, but it will be troublesome if it gets worse after a trip."

Helena keenly noticed that Langdon seemed to be softening his heart, and pursued the victory: "I thought you would come to see me."

After all, Langdon was wronged, so he could only admit it obediently: "I'm sorry, but I have business..."

"You're just suspicious." Helena frowned, "When you were pretending to be sick, what did I do to you? Anyway, at least you should go and see it? You doubt me directly, isn't that wrong? good?"

Helena thought that her words could arouse Langdon's past memories, and comparing the attitudes of the two sides, Langdon would feel guilty.

Langdon, however, was far too sensitive on the subject of "doubt."

If you want to directly doubt this kind of thing, isn't Helena herself the one who does the most?

Langdon's heart, which had softened just now, immediately hardened again: "I just pretended to be sick a few times, and I told you all about it, but I was really sick later on. You still don't believe it, don't you?"

At that time, Little Langdon couldn't stand the rest time he bought for Helena, and Helena used it to take care of herself, so he secretly told Helena: "I'm not sick, I just want to see my sister... Sister takes advantage of this time , just take a good rest."

Little Langdon thought that Helena would be able to rest at ease, but Helena was angry about it.

"Lying is a very bad behavior." Helena educated him, "I don't need you to help me find an excuse to rest, I have to go back to study."

Little Langdon was a little surprised and aggrieved, but Helena was right that lying was really bad, so he apologized obediently and vowed not to do it again.

But not long after, little Langdon really had a fever.

Sitting on the head of the bed, his mother touched his hot forehead and asked, "Do you want to see my sister?"

Little Langdon: "I want to... but I don't want to worry my sister. My sister wants to study."

"However, if she is not by your side when she knows you are sick, will Helena blame herself?"

"...Then, let my sister come when it doesn't affect her study... I haven't seen my sister for a long time."

When little Langdon was recovering, Helena was called by her mother.

But instead of stroking Langdon's forehead worriedly, she said in a reproachful tone: "Langdon, didn't you agree not to lie?"

Little Langdon was aggrieved: "I'm not lying, my head hurts, and the doctor said I had a fever."

"Really? But I think you're all right?" She looked cold.

"I'm really sick... Mother! Mother testify for me!"

The mother said: "Well, Langdon did have a fever, and now it's just gone...I was so uncomfortable that I cried before, and I said like a baby that I wanted to see my sister."

Helena sighed: "Stop being coquettish, Langdon, you are a man, even if you are really sick, you have to be strong and get through it yourself."

"It's not even if I'm really sick, I'm really sick..."

But Helena didn't listen to little Langdon anymore, her attention had been drawn away by her mother, and she seemed to be asking some academic questions.

Looking back now, Helena didn't listen to explanations, and only believed in what she wanted to believe, which was reflected at that time.

And he had at least reflected on it, but what about Helena?She would only feel that it was his fault no matter what.

Langdon's mistake was not to feel sorry for Helena.

He cannot repeat the same mistakes.

Langdon's expression turned cold: "I'll have someone send you back. What you need now is rest. I have business here, so I won't accompany you."

Helena subconsciously said, "What business can you do?"

At this moment, a maid hurriedly knocked on the door. The hasty voice made Langdon realize that it might be urgent, so he let her in loudly.

The maid brought Langdon a perfect excuse.

"Duke, Your Majesty is going to convene a parliament, please go there immediately."

[ps: It’s even later to change the word count of the text]

[pps: But as long as I don't sleep, it's still today!The extra words will be used as compensation for staying up all night】

28. His war has begun

Helena was obviously surprised: "A parliament at the level of the Duke is required? Didn't it just happen not long ago?"

Back then, the emperor forcibly promulgated the royal decree that only graduates from the Imperial School of Magic are considered serious magicians, which obviously stimulated the nobles. Not long after the death of the emperor who was the strongest magician in the world, the parliament that restricted the emperor's power took shape.

The members of the parliament are basically composed of the emperor, the four dukes (or their representatives), military representatives, electorate representatives, temple representatives and some other nobles. Depending on the level of the discussion, these people do not have the right to attend every time. Only the emperor and The representatives of the four major dukes and temples are the regular members.

The dukes are usually in their own dukedom, and they will not take the initiative to come to the imperial capital if they have nothing to do, so the dukes in the daily parliament are basically absent, and they can only see their representatives.

However, when the emperor wanted to do something controversial, or when something big happened, he would take the initiative to invite the Duke to come to the capital for a meeting in person, so that face-to-face quarrels would be more efficient.

Langdon's father would appear in the imperial capital at this time because he found that the meeting time was relatively close to the emperor's 50th birthday banquet, so he had to come to the imperial capital sooner or later, so he simply accepted the invitation of the parliament and visited his son by the way. As a result, he died unexpectedly in the imperial capital, and even the funeral was held in the imperial capital.

"Did you say what it was for?" Although Langdon knew it, he still asked.

The maid shook her head: "The person sent by His Majesty is waiting outside for your summons, and he is only willing to tell you the details in person."

good chance.

Langdon turned his head to look at Helena: "As you can see, I do have business to do. If you are not in good health, go back and rest."

No matter how unwilling Helena was that she worked so hard to meet Langdon but achieved nothing, it was impossible for Langdon to drop His Majesty's invitation to continue talking with her.

She straightened her hair, with an elegant posture: "It's important, you go to work first, can you arrange a room for me here?"

Langdon was not polite: "Not long after I moved in, the guest room has been used to store sundries, or do you squeeze with the maid?"

Don't care if it's true or not, anyway, it's obvious that she is chasing away customers. Helena is a person who must make herself look decent no matter how uncomfortable she is. Of course, she can't accept this option, and it's impossible to hold on to it after hearing this. Bad fight must stay.

"In that case, I'll go back first and come to see you when I'm in good health." Helena did not forget to emphasize her physical condition, hoping to get a promise from Langdon to take the initiative to visit.

But Langdon directly turned his head and arranged for the maid to see the guests off, and then asked someone to call in the emperor's people.

Helena couldn't continue to tangle with Langdon in front of outsiders, so she had to be helped away by the maid unwillingly.

Sending Helena away, Langdon breathed a sigh of relief, but he became serious again when he thought of what he might face later.

Although Langdon was not qualified to go to the parliament before, he still understood some unspoken rules.

Although the emperor asked him to go "immediately", the representative time was completely different depending on the situation.

Immediately should only mean that the situation is urgent and the matter is very important. I hope that the person notified will take it seriously and come forward in person if he can. Don't send an agent to perfunctory.

Then the person sent by the emperor should also reveal the content of the meeting. He asked about the situation first.

Sure enough, Langdon got an answer after a short question.

"—The Prophet's Son who was spoken in the last council appeared."

Langdon took a deep, soundless breath.

coming.

His sworn enemy, the one whom Flora told him would kill him... is finally coming.

Langdon's heart was full of mixed feelings for a moment, and he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in.

He only knew that no matter how many remedies he had done before and how effective they were, there was no more time for him to continue preparing for the battle now.

The real war has officially begun.

"The specific time?"

"Four p.m."

Sure enough, the time is still early, and it is customary to give time for nobles who plan to sleep through the night to wake up in the afternoon, and for small interest groups to contact each other and discuss countermeasures in advance...

But none of this had anything to do with Langdon.

So Langdon took advantage of this time to call Roland and Shalltear back to continue the meeting.

The hero of the game can come, anyway, he can't control others, he can only work hard to strengthen himself.

If someone just gave up a name and gave up, then it's really better to die quickly, don't waste time.

After Langdon finished discussing with his partners as planned, he boarded the carriage and headed to the parliament.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the carriage with the logo of the temple.

With the help of the maid, the pink-haired girl got off the carriage step by step.

Probably because of the formality of the occasion, she gave up the gorgeous court dress she loved, and changed into a Greek-style white long dress prepared by the temple. Cross-strap sandals are looming in the shaking of the floor-length skirt.

She seemed to sense Langdon's gaze, and after landing on the ground, she looked in Langdon's direction, and then her lovely almond eyes opened wide involuntarily.

"Langdon? What are you doing—"

Before the words fell, Flora reacted.

It is really normal for a duke to appear on such an occasion.

She bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, and her delicate and beautiful face showed an unhappy mood.

Why is there Langdon everywhere... She obviously didn't go to school anymore, but even when she came to hold a meeting on behalf of the temple, she could see Langdon.

Can't he disappear from her eyes so that she can forget the embarrassing and embarrassing experience before?

Flora stared at Langdon, frozen in place.

After a few seconds of silence, Langdon began to signal the waiter to lead the way with his eyes.

He only dealt with Helena in the morning, and now he is really not in the mood to deal with Flora anymore...

Fortunately, this waiter was much more discerning than the people in the Duke's Mansion, and immediately began to guide them, leading them to the council hall to sit down.

But the embarrassing thing was that the others were old-timers, and they seemed to like to get stuck. There were only two young people, Langdon and Flora, in the council hall, and the atmosphere was even stiffer than before.

Langdon was fine. He took out the notebook he carried with him and started writing and drawing to prepare for his future.
