"It doesn't matter who wins. Anyway, no one can win in the end." Under the moon, the black-haired girl showed a bright, moving and captivating smile.

one-one-one-one-one-one

When Fate got up this morning, she sneezed loudly. She didn't know if it was because she couldn't adapt to the climate of the imperial capital or what, but even with such a strong physique, she sneezed a few times, which was rare.

This place seemed to be incompatible with her destiny. Every place was filled with a smell that made her breathe difficult.

After she got up and washed up, she was called downstairs by the maid Xiaoxiang to have breakfast. In such a big villa, it seems that Xiaoxiang is the only maid. Aren’t they afraid that she won’t be able to handle it?

But Fate didn't ask much, as it was not her place to interfere in other people's family affairs.

However, when Fate was changing clothes, all his clothes were missing. Upon asking, he found out that Xiaoxiang had taken them out for washing after he went to bed last night.

"Then what should I wear today?" asked Fate, who had disheveled hair and was wearing pajamas.

"The master picked it out for you last night. You can wear this one." Xiaoxiang came up with a set of clothes, and then took Fate to the dressing table to dress her up.

"Miss, your hair is so good." Xiaoxiang exclaimed sincerely while combing Fate's messy hair.

"Really?" Fate didn't care about these questions. After all, who cares about these things during a war?

As for taking care of hair, she learned a little when she was five years old, but she completely abandoned it after that. The same goes for washing dishes and cleaning, she used to know how to do them, but in the end she forgot them all.

As she spoke, Xiaoxiang put the comb in her mouth and started to comb Fate's hair. She tidied up the strands of hair that were sticking up and tied Fate's hair into a high ponytail.

Because the girl's hair was too long, the high ponytail fell to her thighs.

"Miss, your hair is so thick and beautiful, and you have a great figure too." Xiaoxiang said with some envy.

"Yeah." In this regard, Fate didn't know how to respond to Xiaoxiang. If the other party praised her swordsmanship, she could respond to the compliment, but she really didn't know how to respond to these compliments.

After her hair was done, it was time to get dressed. Andrew would definitely not prepare men's clothes for her. Sure enough, he prepared a decent sky blue corseted long dress for her, which was almost the same color as her eyes and decorated with many accessories. Fate often saw this outfit on noble ladies.

"Can you prepare some normal clothes for me?" Fate protested weakly, trying to struggle.

"This is normal clothing." Xiaoxiang was puzzled. As a woman, is there any clothing more normal than this?

“………”Forget it, it’s not like I haven’t been a girl before, and I have maintained a girl’s posture for such a long time until now. It’s just wearing a long skirt, it doesn’t matter, right?

Anyway, no one here recognizes me, so I can dress however I like and just pretend that I’m not myself.

Besides, it's not like she hasn't worn this before.

Comforting herself in this way, the girl, feeling somewhat hopeless, was fiddled with by Xiaoxiang in front of the mirror.

"Finished, Miss is really a natural clothes hanger, she looks good in anything!" Xiaoxiang looked at the perfect and well-dressed blonde aristocratic lady in the mirror with stars in her eyes, feeling very accomplished. Although it was largely due to Fate's good looks, she also had her share of the credit after all!

After getting dressed, I went downstairs. Breakfast was already prepared, milk with fried eggs and white bread. Probably the only benefit of coming here was the good breakfast, which was also Fate's only comfort now.

The breakfast was very enjoyable. Since the portion was small, Xiaoxiang, who was eating with me, did not notice Fit's swift eating speed.

"Miss, please be careful, it will get on your skirt."

"Yeah, I know." Having said that, Fate's eating speed did not slow down at all.

"Where is your young master?" After dinner, Fate noticed that there seemed to be someone missing at the table.

"Young Master seldom eats breakfast in the villa." Xiaoxiang explained.

"Does he have a job?"

"Yes, the young master is usually very busy and rarely comes home." Xiaoxiang thought.

Fate nodded.

Xiaoxiang is a typical naive girl who would never tell a lie, but if you continue to ask her in depth, I'm afraid she will know nothing.

"Hey, you're up. Wow, you're finally dressed properly today." Not long after dinner, Andrew seemed to walk out of the room slowly. Seeing the girl resting with her eyes closed on the sofa, he praised her without hesitation.

"If you dress like this all the time, the people chasing you in the imperial capital will line up from Wengshen Pass to the Imperial City."

"You just got up?"

"Yeah, I usually get up at this time." Andrew stretched.

"Well, this is the right way to dress. Casual clothes are so pleasing to the eye, and formal clothes are even more appropriate." Andrew looked at Fate with a grin.

"The dress you're talking about wouldn't be any bigger than this, right?"

"What are you talking about? This corseted dress doesn't even show your legs, only your neck. How can it be so revealing? Any dress would be more revealing, right?"

"The dress?"

"Not to mention the dresses. Isn't it natural that they should be more revealing than this one? After all, even if it's an aristocratic ball, it's mostly attended by young people, and young people are full of hormonal excitement."

"Scale, how big is it exactly?"

"With your figure, isn't it a shame not to wear a tube top? You're simply wasting your own advantages."

"I………"

"We agreed that I'll decide the clothing style and you can't give me any pointers." Seeing the girl's refusal tone, Andrew immediately added.

"…I kind of regret agreeing to this."

"Hey, don't say that. You really don't know how lucky you are. How many noble daughters want a figure like yours? If they wanted a figure like yours, they would wear tube tops at dances every day so that everyone in the capital would know their advantages."

“…When is the dance?” Fate sighed. She could only comfort herself that since no one knew her, no one would know that she had gone to the dance wearing a tube top.

"The night after tomorrow."

Fate nodded silently.

Although she just said she wouldn't go, she had her reasons for going.

The ball was held at Alins' villa, and Alins was not at home that day, so maybe we could find out something...

"I have agreed to all your requests, but you have to show me the list of guests for the banquet, right?" Fate casually tangled a strand of her hair with her slender fingers.

"Banquet list? What do you want that for? You have acquaintances in the capital, do you want to go say hello or something?" Andrew was puzzled.

"Well, there are a few acquaintances, but I don't want them to recognize me. Why, can't I take a look?" At this time, saying no would only arouse unnecessary suspicion, and speaking half-truths would make it difficult to understand. Anyway, Andrew could not investigate her identity. Since the other party believed that she was the eldest daughter, it was reasonable for her to have a few acquaintances in the imperial capital, right?

"Okay, take a look if you want." Andrew took out a list wrapped in letter paper from his arms.

Fate took the perfumed letter sealed with a banquet ink pad, opened it, glanced at the list, and returned it to Andrew.

When she looked at the list, she mainly looked at those names. As long as those names were not there, she didn't need to continue reading.

"Don't you even take a look at who's on the list?"

"What are you looking at? You know those people are there even if you don't look. It doesn't matter whether you look or not. It's impossible that they will disappear from the list if I just take a look." Andrew pouted.

"The day after tomorrow morning, you get ready. I've asked a professional to pick out a dress for you. Just put it on when the time comes."

"Oh." Fate responded indifferently.

"Don't be so depressed, and don't put on such a sour face. After all, it is a banquet in the imperial capital. There are many good things. There are all kinds of dishes. You can have as many as you want."

"...!"

"But you definitely don't think highly of those small dishes and banquets, right, young lady?"

"Yeah." After a long time, Fate reluctantly said "Yeah".

Chapter 102: 110~Fei Er

In the imperial capital, the dark basement was suddenly filled with a strange green light.

There is a burning torch at each of the six corners of the spacious and empty basement, but the torch does not emit normal firelight, but a dim green light.

The hexagram magic circle covering the entire ground emitted an eerie glow under the dim light of the torches.

The center and six corners of the hexagram magic circle were filled with obscure spells. The hexagons were piled with black keratinous residues that seemed to belong to some creature, and green viscous liquid was still flowing from the broken ends.

In the very center of the spell formation, a man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The man took off his shirt, exposing his naked upper body. His body was covered with countless scars and dried blood. Some of the scars were so deep that they spread to his heart. They looked hideous and terrifying, and the necrotic organs could be seen with the naked eye.

As he guided the magic power, the dim light of the magic circle gradually became dazzling, and the piles of biological debris piled in the dead corner began to be absorbed by the magic circle, like deposits sinking into the sea, slowly disappearing.

The life energy they squeezed out flowed along the circuit of the magic circle and flowed towards the man.

The life energy flowing through illuminates the texture and outline of the spell array, and is transported to the creator of the array like the veins of a leaf.

Green halo particles poured into the man's body. This was the purest life energy. If it were an ordinary person, he would explode and die after being hit by such a huge amount of life energy. However, this man was different.

His body was like a shriveled sponge, greedily absorbing and absorbing water, never satisfied, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Wrapped in the bright green halo, the scars and wounds on the man's body that had spread to his internal organs began to recover, and new muscles grew like flesh and bones. Although it was impossible to completely repair the damaged organs, it gave new life to this dying body.

Unconsciously, the debris piled at the hexagon was completely absorbed by the hexagram array. After a moment, the man opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and waved his arms.

Strong and powerful, it feels even better than in his heyday.

This feeling of being in control and being reborn is addictive.

The next moment, he clenched his fists and punched the bunker in the direction of the entrance.

"Crack!" There was a burst of falling rocks, and a figure emerged in the smoke.

"I've been peeping for such a long time. Isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to just leave without coming out to say hello?" Alins smiled and looked at Kaido who was frozen in his posture as he tried to leave the basement.

".........You've noticed me a long time ago?"

"In other words, if I hadn't allowed you to do so, you wouldn't have come here at all." Alins stretched his strong arms and didn't seem to be panicked about having his biggest secret exposed.

"So, when did you discover my secret?"

"I don't have the ability to understand such secrets. I just feel that something is wrong with you recently." Kaido pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Although he was discovered while being followed, he did not seem panicked and appeared to be quite calm.

"What's wrong?"

"......No, you have been wrong for a long time." Kaido continued. "After the expedition to the north, your injuries were so severe that even the best doctors in the empire said you might not live for even half a year."

"However, you have survived to this day, and you are getting better and better as you grow older."

"From the way you sound, it seems like you want me to die soon?" Alins joked.

"None of us wants you to get into trouble, but Arins..." This time, Kaido did not call the man in front of him the Grand Knight Commander.

"Is it really appropriate for you to do this?"

"What's wrong with that? I just used a group of monsters that were about to endanger the empire and the citizens of the empire to prolong my life. Is there anything wrong with what I did?"

"These monsters have to be killed anyway. I'm just making the best use of them."

"Alins, tell me the truth, were you responsible for the plague in Border Town and Carlo?"

"I don't know about that. I did take advantage of the tenacious vitality of these monsters, but you can't just say that I created these monsters, right?" Alins spread his hands.

"Then why did you start a war against Kasas?"

"I've also said that the Principality of Casas is secretly disobeying the Empire. They won't behave themselves unless we give them a severe blow." Alins said confidently.

"Kaido, as the deputy knight commander, you can't just look at the present. You have to look at a hundred years later. A hundred years later, neither you nor I will be alive. Leaving behind a powerful principality will be detrimental to the empire."

"You may say that Casas has never rebelled in the past thousand years. This is true, but as leaders, you and I cannot simply judge the future based on narrow empiricism. The future is uncontrollable. We must remain completely rational."

Kaido hesitated for a moment. "Then Lord Arins, what are you going to do next? Are you going to get rid of me, the insider?"

"Kaido, I thought you knew me very well...how could I do this?" Alins shook his head and walked over.

"If my idea was to keep the secret from being discovered by anyone, I would have chosen to get rid of you from the beginning."

"So, I should thank the Grand Knight for not killing me?"

"Kaido, who do you think I do this for?" Arins walked over, sighed, and spoke slowly.

“........” Kaido did not speak.

"I'm not just doing this for myself, I'm doing this for us, our brothers and sisters." Alins put his hand on his chest and said sincerely.

“I really don’t want to see anyone among us meet with misfortune like our Master, or like those brothers and sisters who passed away.” His tone had a hint of sighing.

"For this reason, I must live, so that I can protect you and let you live a peaceful life and enjoy wealth and glory."

"Kaido, do you still remember the despair you and I felt before Master arrived? My wish as a brother is neither big nor small. I just hope that we brothers and sisters will no longer be bullied or manipulated by anyone."

"I would love to see any of us take our destiny into our own hands."

"So, you hold the fate of others in your own hands?" Kaido asked.
