Yellow hair can also have a husband-chasing crematorium

Just when Langdon started to feel awkward, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Langdon heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly called someone in.

Shalltear came in.

She held a stack of documents and put them on Langdon's desk: "These need to be signed, and these few need to be discussed..."

After the general introduction, Shalltear coughed lightly again, and tentatively said: "Because the mission may arrive in a few days, you probably need to socialize with the other party during the day, so it's best to work overtime these few days... So, tonight Do you want to work overtime?"

At this time, Langdon suddenly remembered the question of his eldest nephew.

... Is there anything wrong with him as an assistant officer?Speaking of which, it seems that I have been working a little too much recently...even a little anxious?

Maybe he should talk to Charles.

[ps: Catch up with the update!I took the medicine and went to bed, good night everyone, see you at noon tomorrow ~]

43. Is now a good time to confess?

Langdon first refused to work overtime: "I don't seem to have a lot of work today. If you are too busy, just give me the documents that need to be processed overtime."

Shalltear: "...!!!"

And this trick!

Indeed, Langdon was very busy when he first returned to the castle, and now there are fewer things that the Duke himself can handle. Generally speaking, he is more relaxed than her, and he really doesn't need to work overtime...

Although a little disappointed, Shalltear did not force it.

After all, working overtime so late before couldn't stop Princess Bellatrix from sneaking into Langdon's room... Forget it, as long as Langdon himself doesn't waver.

Based on what she knew about Langdon, disturbing Langdon's sleep itself was probably a loss of favorability.

After refusing to work overtime, Langdon was concerned about something he was particularly concerned about: "Have you sent someone to find Helena?"

"Yes, it has been sent out, but there is no guarantee that someone will be found."

Since Helena couldn't be stopped from entering the country and planned to take the route of loosening outside and tightening inside, then this "tightening inside" must be arranged quickly.

Let senior sister Bridget protect her personally. This is the last line of defense. It is best to intercept Helena before she enters the castle.

Coincidentally, there are quite a few people in Stuart Castle who know Helena's face, and now they can directly send a group of people to search for it secretly in nearby towns, without even needing a portrait.

... Although the success rate cannot be guaranteed, it is better than nothing.

Langdon sighed.

After confirming the progress bar of his private affairs, Langdon took Shalltear's documents and began to seriously discuss business affairs with her.

After the official business came to an end, Langdon hesitated and said, "Charle, if you have any troubles, you can tell me directly, and I will help you, so you don't have to worry about it yourself."

Shatiya's fingers tightened, her heart stopped beating for a moment, and then she responded nonchalantly: "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

In the morning, Langdon had already mentioned to her about the mission, so that she should not pay too much attention to it, and now he asked her what was bothering her... Was it Langdon who discovered something, had some guesses, or was it just out of pure innocence? care?

Langdon thought for a while, and put his hand on a magic circle on the desk.

This magic circle was passed down from generation to generation, and it was directly engraved on the desktop.

The effect is to isolate a small area of ​​sound around the desk, but because of the consumption of mana, Langdon usually doesn't bother to open it for nothing. After all, he is different from those nobles who are engaged in conspiracy and tricks all day long. It doesn't matter if you are heard about official business.

Moreover, the sound insulation effect of the study room is also very good. Unless the hearing is particularly sharp, most people will not be able to hear it outside...

Now it is also considering that there is Bridget who has just joined the job in the room, and he is worried about his assistant officer.

After making sure that Bridget couldn't hear their conversation, Langdon answered.

"I feel that you have been a little anxious recently, like yesterday's overtime work. In fact, you can tell me during the day, so that I can deal with part of it in advance without having to work overtime so late... For you, this is a bit of a work mistake, which is rare. , I think something must have affected you... We are friends, I can help you if there is any problem."

He actually didn't want to talk about it at first, thinking that it was probably the first time for Shire to get started with such an important thing, and he would be able to recover on his own after a while.

But even the eldest nephew said that Shire was weird, maybe Shire didn't do well in places he didn't know about, so he had to pay attention.

Hearing Langdon's words, Shalltear was startled.

Unexpectedly, her overtime work that she thought was brilliant yesterday turned out to be flawed in Langdon's eyes, but he didn't care about her.

He obviously felt strange, but he still worked overtime with her. Although he was in a hurry, he felt Langdon's thoughtfulness in a subtle way.

This made Xia Tiya's heart both moved and sour.

She was mixed with selfishness, and Langdon was tolerant and caring towards her, which made her feel a little despicable.

For a moment, Shalltear was driven by an urge to confess everything to Langdon.

Confess her true gender, the reason why she hides her gender, her life experience, and the reason for her anxiety about the Heka Empire mission.

"Langdon... I'm sorry... I actually..."

Just when Shalltear was about to speak, Bridget, who was reading a book out of the corner of her eye, suddenly turned a page in the book in her hand.

If Bridget had remained in the original position, Shalltear might have ignored her, but it was easier for human eyes to catch movement.

Therefore, this action made Shalltear wake up instantly.

Of course, Shalltear always knew that Bridget was in the room, but with the sound insulation of the magic circle, she gradually relaxed a little bit, and being bewitched by Langdon's attitude, she ignored the other party and told her secret directly.

The point is not whether there are other people in the room. Bridget's presence only reminds Shalltear not to be coerced by impulse, but to calmly judge whether it is a good time to tell Langdon her secret.

Obviously not.

The mission will arrive in a few days. If Langdon gets angry with her at this time, it may affect the next preparations... Her business is not important, let's get things done first.

Alas, she has really lost her head recently. In front of the enemy, she is full of jealousy and jealousy. It really shouldn't be. Is this the legendary woman in love who becomes stupid... Fortunately, she is now sober.

Langdon was still waiting for the next sentence, but seeing that Shalltear suddenly stopped talking, he could only ask in confusion, "What's the matter with you?"

"...It's nothing." Shalltear decided that she would confess to Langdon after the mission left, and there was no need to add meaningless burdens to Langdon now, "Wait... I'll talk to you after I've been busy for a while. Let's talk."

When Shalltear said this, Langdon knew that something was bothering her.

But Langdon didn't want to force Shalltear to say anything. Since we made an appointment to talk again, it meant that Shalltear would not be able to handle it by herself anymore. Langdon felt that the matter was half resolved.

After all, Xia Tiya is really busy, and this kind of thing that can make people so anxious may not be resolved by talking about it. On the contrary, it is very likely that after the talk, the mood will continue to be depressed for a period of time, which will even affect work.

It's really better to talk after this busy period.

So Langdon said with a smile: "Then it's settled, remember to come to me later, what problems can't be solved properly?"

Shatiya was in a complicated mood: "Well, you're right."

...I hope Langdon will not be angry after hearing her confession, let alone alienate her...

In the last few days of busyness and entanglements related to Langdon's awakening of blood magic, the mission of the Heka Empire finally arrived.

[ps: There are a lot of things to explain, and I finally wrote about the mission!Work hard at night to add more ing]

44. The Mission and Brother Xiatiya (3k)

The mission of the Heka Empire arrived at Stuart Castle on a sunny afternoon.

There were 50 of them in total, and the most noble one was naturally the second prince of the Heka Empire——Leonard Heka, who was the ambassador.

One great magician, one staff member, several personal maids and attendants, several lower-level servants, and the rest are guard knights.

The scale is considered medium. Because of the rush of time, the fewer the number of people, the better, but no matter how small the number is, it will not be worthy of the status of the second prince. This is also a compromise arrangement.

"Is the capital of the Duchy of Stuart ahead?" Second Prince Leonard asked.

The staff member who was in the same carriage as the second prince replied: "Yes, we will arrive in Stuart City soon, and the young Grand Duke Stuart has also returned from the imperial capital, so we can meet him this time."

The second prince pondered: "Grand Duke...it's really different from the Duke of our country."

The dukes of the Heka Empire only had titles and statuses, but no territories. Compared with the powerful "grand dukes" of the August Empire, they were naturally very different.

"That's right, but the new Grand Duke Stuart is just a child, and we are going on a normal mission this time, so you don't have to worry too much, Your Highness."

"It's not considered that he's still an adult, and it will be his adult birthday in a few days." The second prince naturally had read Langdon's information a long time ago, "We must stay to attend his birthday party... stop and take a good rest Not bad for a while."

It's always uncomfortable to hurry, but he can't let his father see that he's being lazy, so he can't be rude to a grand duke, and he has to stay for the banquet, which is a good reason.

The staff are not stupid, of course they will not protest against the second prince's petty selfishness: "Exactly. And maybe we can see the saint this time."

The second prince is very interested in this topic: "Indeed, since the saint's mother is Grand Duke Stuart's nanny, the Grand Duke will definitely find a way to let the saint attend his birthday party, so that his coming-of-age ceremony will be considered luxurious. .”

Although the saint was born in the August Empire, just as the temple is the same all over the world, the saint is also the saint of the world.

If the saint wants to leave, the emperor of the August Empire can't stop the other party.

There has never been a saint in their Heka Empire. If he can marry a saint and bring her back to the country, then his father will definitely treat him differently. If he works harder, the possibility of him inheriting the throne will disappear in no time. It has improved a lot.

The staff complimented: "Usually speaking, she has been a saint for several years. She should have been succeeded by the nobles of the August Empire long ago, but she has remained single until now. This is Your Highness God Bless!"

The Second Prince's smiling expression looked even happier.

Another man in the carriage also smiled obsequiously: "August's men probably won't do it, so you have to do it."

This level of flattery is a bit blatant, but considering the identity of the other party, the second prince is quite good.

The aide asked with a bit of malice: "How does that compare with your men from Sarière?"

The man said without backbone: "Of course no one can compare to His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

That's right, this man is Shallear's elder brother, the crown prince of the last Sarière monarch, Joshua Sarière.

As an exiled royal family who dare not even return to his own country, Joshua can only rely on the protection of the Heka Empire.

Exiled royal families are not absent. In history, some countries took in exiled royal families to add obstacles to the new regime of that country. Therefore, they will give the exiled royal families good treatment, allowing them to maintain their ambitions of restoring the country, and also make the new regime always restless." Orthodox Royal Family".

But Joshua's situation is different.

The reputation of the country of Sarière has always been very bad. Shallier's father is a maddened tyrant. He also publicly uttered disrespectful words against the gods, which caused the temple to withdraw from the territory of Sarière, causing social turmoil and public grievances. was eventually overthrown.

The fact that the temple is so amazing is enough to show the extent of the hatred of this awesome last emperor.

So of course, Joshua's father offended everyone who could be offended, and no country was willing to openly protect their royal family. Therefore, the Heka Empire was not so much a shelter as it was a house for the exiled royal family of Sarière.

Because of this, the prince of Sarière, who used to be the prince of the Heka Empire, now almost lives by watching the Heka Empire with winks. He did all the work on the bed.

That being the case, don't blame others for looking down on him. Any staff member can make some offensive jokes about Joshua.

Joshua has no ambition to restore the country, and usually huddles in his residence and eats the mountain. The reason why he was forcibly brought out by the second prince this time...

"I heard that your sister's last whereabouts were in the August Empire." The second prince said leisurely, "She must have suffered a lot outside. I really hope that you brothers and sisters will unite and find her sooner."

Joshua smiled reluctantly: "Yes, Xiatiya's mind has always been wild, and it's time to get married and calm down."

What a joke!The August empire is so big!His scope of action is limited to the second prince's side, where can he conjure up a royal girl for him!

If you make things difficult for him, you will make things difficult for him, and if you have to find an excuse, he has to cooperate with the acting... Sigh, if it weren't for that damn girl Shatiya who ran around and obediently went to the second prince's house, nothing would have happened ?

She really raised a loser, and her elder sister was also a loser. She committed suicide after being tortured, and he had to compensate the second prince for another royal sister, otherwise she could actually sell it for a better price...

Yes, in fact, there was nothing special about the reason why Joshua also came to the August Empire. Both parties knew that it was just to make things difficult for him, and no one expected him to really find Shalltear back.

As for why Joshua should be embarrassed... After all, bullying a slave is a completely different feeling from bullying a former prince of a country. For the second prince, the former is a daily routine, so he will especially enjoy the latter.

Anyway, the second prince didn't want Joshua to enjoy it more than him when he was on a bumpy road. It just so happened that Joshua promised to give him Xiatiya. The prince directly found an excuse and forced him to take him with him.

Every day when I feel uncomfortable, seeing Joshua, the former prince, suffers more than himself, the second prince's mentality will be balanced.

Yes, he is such a pervert who harms others and does not benefit himself.

But he has a good appearance and is very good at pleasing his father. He smiles every day, looks very friendly, and is good at dancing. The chance of this mission is very gold-plated. He was selected by the emperor to be the ambassador of this mission. The emperor favored him.

...So, if he can seduce the saint, the throne will basically be secure.

Anyway, he didn't marry a wife on the surface, and he was willing to send other women outside to hide in order to stabilize the saint, and deceive the saint for a lifetime... Sigh, he is really a considerate man.

The second prince thought to himself, what does Joshua's younger sister look like?He didn't pay much attention before, but since he dared to run away, don't blame him for finding it and torturing him... Let's add a little more to the reward on the black market.

Under the admiration of his staff and Joshua, the second prince arrived at Stuart Castle with his dream of marrying the saint and taking the throne.

Take a rest in the guest room, and in the evening it will be the banquet to welcome the diplomatic corps.

He has no interest in Archduke Stuart. The only thing that attracts his attention is the possibility of the Saintess appearing at the Grand Duke's birthday party, but after all, he is not sure, so he still hopes to inquire...

Guided by the head of palace affairs, the second prince, who was walking towards the guest room, was admiring the surrounding environment when he suddenly found a beautiful blonde girl appearing in the garden in the distance.

Under the sunlight, her blonde hair was shining and gorgeous, and her fair and beautiful face was almost glowing.She held up the hem of her skirt, her expression looked a little melancholy and beautiful, and she walked through the garden as lightly as a butterfly, she didn't seem to notice their side, and she didn't even look here.

But the second prince was moved.
